Falcons want to get back on winning track
(Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:05:55 PST)
The Atlanta Falcons are eager to break free of their mostly inglorious past, show they can be a team that consistently puts up winning records and contends for the playoffs. Time to end that losing streak. For the first time in Mike Smith's two years as coach, the Falcons have lost consecutive games.
Falcons Team Report
(Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:59:19 PST)
Before Monday's loss to New Orleans, the Falcons had never dropped two games in a row under coach Mike Smith.
With the 2-5 Washington Redskins coming to town, the Falcons are staring at one of those proverbial "trap" games.
The Redskins have a solid defense but have been a ball of confusion on offense.
They have been sitting round during their bye week trying to work out their offensive issues. Newly hired Sherman Lewis has had time to synthesize the team's playbook and communicate his West Coast vision to quarterback Jason Campbell.
But the Falcons are 10-1 in the Georgia Dome under Smith. He and his staff have to be given major credit for having the team ready to play each week.

Psst, did you hear the news? This one's a stunner, so brace yourself. Matt Ryan is NOT perfect. The Atlanta Falcons quarterback has shown his human side over the last three weeks, throwing seven interceptions after being picked off just 13 times in his first 20 regular-season games. Not all were his fault, of course.

Atlanta's Turner running with more determination
(Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:08:45 PST)
Michael Turner did some self-scouting last week to find out why he wasn't breaking off big runs for the Atlanta Falcons. What was wrong with the Pro Bowl running back? "I just had to run with the same determination I had last year," Turner said Thursday. "Run with kind of a chip on my shoulder." After rushing 20 times for 151 yards and one touchdown in a Week 8 loss at New...

"I've hit the upright twice now (this season) inside of 40," Elam said.

DeAngelo Hall has plenty of positive things to say about his old team, the Atlanta Falcons. His old coach? That's another matter. The Washington Redskins cornerback made it clear Monday that he's still no fan of Bobby Petrino, the coach who quit the Falcons during the 2007 season.

Saints' Fujita, Falcons' Johnson among inactives
(Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:43:45 PST)
The Saints deactiviated starting linebacker Scott Fujita for a second straight game as New Orleans prepared to host the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Fujita strained his left calf during a victory over the New York Giants in Week 6 and has not practiced since. Troy Evans was slated to start in his place.
