State of the Falcons: Defensive Ends
When we last left off we covered the Falcons defensive tackles. Now it's time to take a look at one of the positions that has received the most scrutiny this off-season, the defensive ends.
The Falcons only had two DEs on last years roster who recorded sacks, John Abraham and Kroy Biermann. Abraham led the team and DEs in sacks with ten while Biermann was second...
With Abraham likely gone, Falcons eye replacements
For those who were holding out hope that the Atlanta Falcons might attempt to sign veteran defensive end John Abraham at a vastly discounted salary after cutting him back on March 1, that idea no longer appears to be a possibility.
Citing a person informed of preliminary talks between the Falcons and Abraham, USA Today reported late on Monday that Abraham was not interested in doing...
NFL Draft Rewind: Re-Grading The 2008 Draft
The 2008 NFL Draft today is an old age dinosaur as fast as the game is progressing. I wanted to take a look back and see just how it all fared then and now. Looking back at all the draft choices there were so many promising debuts. People say it is hard to grade the drafts immediately at that particular moment. It is said that they should be graded and analyzed like every three...
Three Falcons that must Rise Up in NFC Championship Game
Ahhh... what a wonderful day. The sun is brighter. Coffee tastes better. Your hair starts growing back. Old girlfriends are sending you friend requests on Facebook. Probably has everything to do with the Falcons playing in the NFC Championship game today.
As with every team left in the hunt for the Lombardi trophy, the 49ers are a seriously talented team. Despite what...
Biermann steps forward as starting DE for Falcons
Ray Edwards' loss is Kroy Biermann's gain for the Atlanta Falcons.
Biermann took over as a starting defensive end earlier this week after the Falcons cut Edwards.
Cliff Matthews and rookie Jonathan Massaquoi also are likely to earn more playing time when Atlanta (8-1) hosts Arizona (4-5) on Sunday.
Biermann originally lost the left end job when the NFL lockout ended last...

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Ray Edwards' loss is Kroy Biermann's gain for the Atlanta Falcons. Biermann took over as a starting defensive end earlier this week after the Falcons cut Edwards.

Atlanta Falcons: Week 10 NFL Power Rankings (#3)
Last week: 1 (-2)
Record: 8-0
The Falcons are an undefeated 8-0, but they have not played a tough schedule (it doesn’t really get harder) and they’ve won 5 of their 8 games by a touchdown or less, including 4 at home. They’ve beaten everyone on their schedule and they’ve been able to eke out victories, but at the end of the day, if I’m an AFC team, I’m way more scared...
Falcons at Saints Preview: Hate Week Remains Strong
It is Hate Week again, the bi-annual celebration of everything hated between the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints. It is no wonder there is such animosity between the fan bases: Saints fans despise that Atlanta fans are generally more knowledgable about football, better educated, make more money and are better looking, while Atlanta fans are still salty the Saints have cheated...
Falcons streak past Eagles
The Falcons extend their record to 7-0 with a 30-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The Falcons built an early lead, and pretty much were on cruise control for most of the day as the Eagles struggled to find a rhythm and made a lot of mental errors. Mike Smith pushes his post-bye record to 4-1, and gets revenge for his lone loss suffered against the Eagles in 2008. This win also...
Week 5 preview: how the Falcons will beat the Redskins
The biggest key for the Falcons this week will not be getting off to the slow start they did a week ago. They want to take advantage of their passing attack going against the weak Redskin secondary. The health of Julio Jones (hand) will be a factor in this game. The team will need him to have a bigger game. He will have that opportunity going up against DeAngelo Hall and Josh Wilson...
Which Falcons could become trade bait?
This is the port in the summer where people are talking about trading players, and I just wanted to quickly go over some Falcon players that probably have the most trade value. Obviously, a player like Roddy White would have huge trade value, but the Falcons won’t trade him. I’m looking more at guys that appear to be somewhat expendable and have an outside shot that it could...
Pre-Season Re-Cap: Falcons 23 Phins 6
For the first time in recent memory the Atlanta Falcons went out and won a pre-season game as they beat the Miami Dolphins 23-6. It was a decent performance by the Falcons highlighted by not letting the Phins into the end zone.
Has Mike Nolan woke a sleeping giant?
Mike Nolan is waiting for the regular season to unleash the intricacies of his defense and in this game we had...
Pre-Season Game #3: What To Watch for Against the Phins
After falling just short against the Bengals in the second preseason game, the Falcons will leave the confines of the Georgia Dome and take their talents to South Beach to face off against the Miami Dolphins in their penultimate preseason match-up. This will be the homecoming for former Miami Dolphins DC Mike Nolan who now holds the same position within the Falcons organization....

Atlanta Falcons: Minicamp Concludes with Key Players Stepping Up
The offseason program for the Falcons has come to an end as their three-day minicamp session concluded this week. The Falcons took part in five practices in that three-day span and it was a time for the coaching staff to evaluate talent as they get ready for training camp which will begin on July 26.
Because the players are in jerseys and shorts for all five practice sessions, it’s...

Sitting on the edge of a boat, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kim Zolciak wrapped her arms around her pregnant belly while smiling next to her ginger husband Kroy Biermann, their son KJ and her two daughters, Brielle and Ariana — Kroy should really avoid the sun at all costs…not good for his freckles. -TO

Is Kim Zolciak “So Damn Sexy” In A Body Painted Jersey?
Ok, so I’ll admit I’ve watched some of Bravo’s Real Housewives shows. Mostly the New Jersey one because I like watching people fight over “respect” and “family” over and over…and over…and over again.
So I was pleasantly surprised to see the pictures of Kim Zolciak, who is a cast member on Real Housewives on Atlanta, doing a body paint photo shoot for her new...

On yesterday’s Don’t Be Tardy For The Wedding, reality star and the wife of Atlanta Falcons Kroy Biermann, Kim Zolciak, tried to please her guy Kroy with a photo shoot picturing her in body paint with his Atlanta Falcons jersey — This kind of thing only happens on reality TV — What a waste of paint.

Falcons Turn Down Hard Knocks; Good Decision?
The Atlanta Falcons offer to be the feature team on HBO's Hard Knocks was a definite source of discussion here for a few days. I think there were some positives that could not be ignored, such as free publicity and giving the fans a chance to get to know and connect with the players on a more personal level. For a team that really is seen outside of Atlanta as "boring"...
Smith likes what he has in new coordinators
Falcons coach Mike Smith is high on his new coordinators and expects them to provide the boost that the team needs to be successful in the playoffs.
With the team re-signing most of its key free agents in defensive ends John Abraham and Kroy Biermann, safety Thomas DeCoud, wide receiver Harry Douglas, center Todd McClure, backup quarterback Chris Redman and running back Jason Snelling...

The 33-year-old ''The Real Housewives of Atlanta'' star and the Atlanta Falcons defensive end have a 9 month-old son, KJ.

In the magazine, Zolciak says KJ was an ''oops,''...
Painting a Picture of Truth for the Falcons
Last year's defense ranked 18th in the league in scoring defense.
Kevin and Mike have already given you their takes on the inactivity of the Atlanta Falcons in free agency. Now it's time for yet another perspective here at the Grits Blitz Blog. There comes a time when even the most positive and hopeful of fans has to look at what is before them, and tell it like it is...
The Friday Blitz: Falcons Free Agency a Reason to Panic?
Is our team better today than it was yesterday?
Call me crazy, but I'm on the verge of hitting the panic button. 3 days have gone by without anything of note for our Falcons. I applaud the resigning of Harry Douglas, but the impending loss of Abe and Lofton is too much for this fan to take. Our defense was mediocrelast season with these guys on the squad, what do you really...
Atlanta Falcons Resign DE Kroy Biermann and Saftey Thomas DeCoud
ATLANTA, March 7—This afternoon the Atlanta Falcons announced that they have come to terms with emerging defensive end Kroy Biermann.
Biermann’s potential has been touted since he was drafted in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL draft out of Montana. This upcoming season will be his “go” time as the sentiment continues to grow that Pro Bowl veteran John Abraham will not return...
It's Official: Falcons Re-Sign Biermann
We talked last week about the signing of Kroy Biermann being "imminent". Well today was that day. Biermann signed a three-year contract that could be worth up to $12 million. The Biermann signing comes on the heels of the Falcons also locking up safety Thomas Decoud. These aren't earth shattering signing like a Mario Williams signing would be but they are both needed...
