ESPN ranks Atlanta’s top 3 playmakers as one of the NFL’s best trios
Drake London, Bijan Robinson, and Kyle Pitts were back-to-back-to-back top ten picks in the NFL, so you’d expect them to be worth the investment. While Pitts has been a little up and down to this point, all three are among the most exciting young players at their respective positions, while Bijan might be the most […]

The Matt Ryan Masterclass Series: Believe in the future MVP
As special as 2016 was for Matt Ryan and the Falcons, it took time for them to become the electrifying powerhouse that consistently scored over 30 points per game.

Atlanta’s reconstructing the tackle position on the fly
Kaleb McGary retired. Storm Norton will miss his second consecutive season owing to injury. The team’s options beyond that were, to put it mildly, not particularly inspiring. There was Mike Jerrell, a would-be swing tackle the Falcons traded for last year who has struggled in game action thus far in the NFL. There’s 2025 seventh […]

Falcons sign trio of UFL players, cut WR Casey Washington
I’m running a bit late to this news, but it’s surprising during minicamp. The Atlanta Falcons have signed three former UFL players they’ve worked out in recent days, and one of their three cuts qualifies as a bit of a shocker. That would be Casey Washington, who was an interesting addition as a sixth round […]
The Matt Ryan Masterclass Series: Rookie heroics against Chicago
Not every all-time great performance will have gaudy numbers. There are games where the overall opponent, in-game situations, and circumstances must be heavily taken into account. It’s not merely assessing the box score and determining that a performance is not good enough because only one touchdown was scored, after only one of four red zone […]

The Matt Ryan Masterclass Series: Five touchdowns are not enough
Following an ugly performance on opening night in Philadelphia, the pressure on Matt Ryan was intensifying in 2018. A rollercoaster 2017 season that ended in a devastating loss to the Eagles put the Falcons in a position where they had to move with urgency after nearly making it back to the Super Bowl. To fall […]

After reportedly agreeing to a one-year pretrial intervention program that saw charges against him suspended over that span and dropped if he completes the program, James Pearce Jr. is reporting to the Falcons for mandatory minicamp. He was in Atlanta Monday for his physical, and per The Athletic’s Josh Kendall, is expected to participate this […]
Falcons to work out UFL interior DL Devonnsha Maxwell
The Atlanta Falcons are going to throw a lot of guys at you up front. Defensive line coach Nate Ollie, who is one of the best in the business, values aggressive, attacking players up front and rotation to help keep those players fresh. That and the inevitable attrition you get throughout the course of the […]

Happy Sunday, everybody. Let’s talk weird purchases. If you’re like me, you’ve accumulated plenty of Falcons merchandise over the years.
