FALCONS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Atlanta Falcons Fantasy Football Projections

QB Matt Ryan (Atlanta) Matt Ryan is nothing, but consistent. And boring. But, you can call it consistent. In 2010, he had 3705 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions. In 2011, 4177 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He should have a similar season this year, only slightly better as I’m projecting a breakout season from Julio Jones. Projection: 4220 passing yards, 30...

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank talks about proposed new stadium.

ATLANTA- The new stadium package that is being put together by the Falcons head brass is getting a mere percentage of the attention that the Minnesota Vikings deal got.

Can Changes At Offensive Line Give the Atlanta Falcons New Hope?

OK folks, the secret is out.  Last year’s Atlanta Falcons offensive line was a bit on the substandard side.  I know this comes as a shock to some of you, but we can’t hide the truth anymore.  What was probably the worst kept secret in the NFL is now public knowledge.  But the good news is, the Falcons’ coaching staff already knew.   (You can take off the sarcasm...

Falcons’ Mike Smith long overdue to unleash Matt Ryan, passing game

First came the decision to trade five selections in order to move up in the 2011 NFL Draft for receiver Julio Jones.
