Going into the 2009 season, Falcons' Offensive Coordinator Mike Mularkey was one of the names mentioned for possible head coaching jobs in 2010. He was a hot commodity in the pool of assistant coaches looking to move back to the head coaching role. Much of this is due to his prior experience going into the 2008 season as first-time head coach, Mike Smith's choice for offensive playcaller. While being persued by ...

That's a questionáworthápondering right now. Having to step in for injured Matt Ryan, Redman has shown many of the physical tools he displayed in his stellar college career. Those tools resulted in his being selected 75th overall in the 2000 draft by the Baltimore Ravens. He left college throwing and completing more passes than anyone in NCAA Division I history.á A recipient of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award and Conference ...

On Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons went into the game against the Saints with their backs against the wall. Their starting quarterback was in street clothes, their Pro Bowl running back was sidelined, and their top offensive lineman, Harvey Dahl, was ruled out before the game. So without half of your starting offense going against an undefeated rival you should just concede and go home right? That's why they play the game. From ...

You know, I started writing this article many times and had to stop and change the venom in my words. To be honest, words can't describe how upsetting Sunday's game was for many reasons. For a team that started 4-1 and seemed to be positioned to make another playoff run, they were absolutely terrible Sunday afternoon. "This was not a very good performance today," said Falcons coach Mike Smith.á"Obviously we were ...

The Falcons kept their heads above water in the NFC playoff race, but they paid a huge price. From the onset of Sunday's kickoff, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came out physical. With the announcement that head coach Raheem Morris will be calling the plays, the Tampa Bay faithful had a close eye on the results. They were not disappointed. From the first snap of the game, the Bucs came out to punch ...

Starting the season, this match-up stood out to me. My expectations were that if the Falcons could win this game they would be contenders. After 10 weeks in this NFL season, the value has changed. The Falcons are playing like a team that just can't get in sync. They started the season 4-1 and appeared to be a legitimate contender in the NFC as many had expected, then came the downward ...

I would imagine that bus ride home was not pretty. The Falcons went into Carolina with an opportunity to sweep the division series and laid an egg. It was probably the most predictable game I've witnessed this season. Either long snapper Bryan Pittman or kicker Jason Elam caused the Falcons' first opportunity for a lead to disintegrate. On the shank heard 'round the world, Elam missed a chip shot to put ...

After putting up 31 points against the Redskins last week, the Atlanta Falcons fly north to Carolina. It was theáfirst time in 32 gamesáWashington has allowed 30 or more points. But the media was more caught up in the, "The Days of DeAngelo" soap opera.á The Falcons spent the week watching fines handed out, including a $15,000 to coach Smitháhimself. That overshadowed the performance of the Falcons offensive production. The Panthers are ...

Sunday's Redskins-Falcons game didn't disappoint those of you still reeling from the Fedor fight on CBS Saturday night. It was one of those gamesáwhere everyone was juiced up. The Redskins came into the game needing a win to validate their season to this point. In a year of bad decisions, the Redskins were trying to implement an offense led by former retirement community member Sherm Lewis. Lewis, formerly the offensive coordinator for ...

Anyone that watched this game Monday night must admit it was exciting until the end. Both teams came in and played a physical, hard fought game. The Falcons struck first on the opening possession culminating with a Michael Turner 13 yard touchdown scamper. Turner showed surprising speed to get to the edge for the score. The Falcons kicked off to the Saints and five and a half minutes later, running back Pierre ...
