The Falcons released their first depth chart earlier in the week, and there weren’t many surprises. The biggest surprise was Avery Williams, not Ray-Ray McCloud, listed as the starting kick and punt returner. That wasn’t really the case for much of the offseason. Arnold Ebiketie not starting is disappointing but not necessarily surprising. I expect
Falcons fans were expecting to see Russell Wilson quarterback Arthur Smith’s offense after Mike Tomlin named him the starter, but the Steelers may be forced to roll with Justin Fields. Ian Rapoport is reporting that Wilson is dealing with some calf tightness and was limited in practice on Thursday. Something to watch for Sunday: #Steelers
Falcons fans were cautiously optimistic heading into the 2023 campaign. The roster was good enough to win a bad NFC South, but Desmond Ridder put the fear of god into some. The Falcons ended up splitting the season series with the Buccaneers, Saints, and Panthers, leading to another 7-10 finish. It provided vindication for the
As the Falcons prepare for their season opener against the Steelers, one of the greatest players in franchise history is still a free agent. Julio Jones‘ fate may have been decided for him. Similar to Matt Ryan, Jones probably wants to still play, but sometimes, the league retires a player before they decide they’ve had
Coming into the week, Falcons fans were on cloud nine, preparing to host Arthur Smith and the Steelers as the Raheem Morris era kicked off. There was a ton of anticipation for this potentially potent offense and new-look defense, but Falcons fans were knocked down a couple of pegs when Morris announced to the Atlanta
The Falcons are set to host the Steelers in the clubs’ season opener. It’s a homecoming of sorts as Arthur Smith returns to Atlanta as his former team prepares for a new era under Raheem Morris. The Falcons are expected to win the NFC South and end their postseason drought, which would also mean hosting
Eight months ago, Falcons fans were feeling as low as they have in a long time. Coming off another 7-10 season that ended with a 48-17 embarrassing loss to the Saints. A dark cloud hung over the city. But a glimmer came through. Arthur Smith was fired, but it seemed like the Falcons were in
The Falcons are relatively healthy entering the 2024 campaign, but a critical piece of the offense is battling an injury, as Raheem Morris revealed to Atlanta media that Kyle Pitts is dealing with a hamstring. Morris and Pitts downplayed the situation; both saying something along the lines that they weren’t worried, and it wouldn’t be
It almost seems unimaginable because many Braves fans just don’t want it to be true, but the club very well could miss the postseason this year for the first time since 2017. However, if the Braves can hold off the Mets and get into the dance, there’s reason for fans to be optimistic about another
A very important Falcons player is already dealing with an injury before the club’s season opener. Raheem Morris told reporters that Kyle Pitts is dealing with a hamstring injury, but Atlanta’s head coach did say that he wasn’t worried about it. If Falcons fans needed more convincing, Pitts himself said that he doesn’t have any
