Lesser) View full size photo » This game was the polar opposite of last week's. Against the Saints, we executed well all the way through and nearly won against a very tough team. In this one, we played poorly for long stretches and still found a way to win against the Redskins. The Falcons are maddeningly capable of sw...

Jerious Norwood (hip) and Jason Snelling (hamstring) were added to the Falcons-Redskins inactive list about an hour before kickoff Sunday. Look for Aaron Stecker, signed last week, to back up Pro Bowler Michael Turner and fullbacks Verron Haynes and [...] Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:13:44 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Pregame_Notes_and_Inactives/1523927 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Pregame_Notes_and_Inactives/1523927 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/Pregame_Notes_and_Inactives/1523927 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/b/9/b990b0e2f8fc59d64886f569b50b8ba18acf0385/small/GettyImageProxy.ashx_requestUrl_http_3a_2f_2fcache.gettyimages.com_2fxc_2f90781637.jpg_3fv_3d1_26c_3dEWSAsset_26k_3d2_26d_3d77BFBA49EF878921CC759DF4EBAC47D0FD262A83AF93422C2F86BED581C15145E5CF6C93DD9AD4FB.jpg More photos » by Bill Haber - AP The face of evil! (AP Photo/Bill Haber) Browse more photos » In the immortal final words of the guy standing in the middle of the Tunguska event, this is going to be a big one. Pretty much everyone thinks the Saints are going to win this game. Nostradamus predicted it years ago. The Mayan calendar ends with the inscrutable phrase "Saints by 10." Even the holiest ...

Moore had been sidelined most recently with a hamstring injury. Moore was a second round pick for the team this past April, and marks the second of this year’s draft class to wind up on the injured [...] Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:45:14 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Falcons_lose_Moore_for_season/1447505 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Falcons_lose_Moore_for_season/1447505 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Falcons_lose_Moore_for_season/1447505 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/8/4/84058149357b80b077125b59730c62a7b7a00ffb/small/GettyImage.ashx_url_http_3a_2f_2fcache.gettyimages.com_2fxc_2f1683971.jpg_3fv_3d1_26c_3dEWSAsset_26k_3d2_26d_3d17A4AD9FDB9CF1935BBE657AC86A9648F5F1A29F2A99C7AE.jpg Former Saints running back Aaron Stecker has been signed by the Atlanta Falcons ahead of Monday night's game in New Orleans.

Stecker is a 9-year veteran that has spent the last five seasons with the New Orleans Saints. Pro Football Talk reported last week that the team had worked out Stecker among other free agent running backs.

As if Stecker is going to somehow divulge some super top secret way to stop the Saints. There is no magic button. It's so stupid that teams do this every year, hoping to get some sort of insider information. I know they are hurting at RB, but let's be serious: The only reason he was signed was because of his familiarity with the Saints. The fact that a player I liked is now a member of the hated rival "Dirty Birds" is enough to give me an ulcer. N...

Eerie timing? Forget about it. This is the oldest trick in the book, and the Falcons took the opportunity of a banged up backfield to pick Stecker's brain about the Saints playbook. I'm sure they'll get him to divulge as much as possible. That is so 1997. Whatever, as if Aaron Stecker is going to help them stop Drew Brees or give t...

Aaron Stecker is very familiar with the Saints, which no doubt was a driving force behind getting him signed prior to the this game. He's also a decent back with some special teams value, so he could get a little playing time right away. His biggest aid to this team will be planning for Nawlins, though, so don't expect him to ride up on a white stallion and save us from our ground games woes....
