Little thing I noticed...

Arthur Blank treats his players really well. In the tunnel after the game on the way to the visiting team bus he had people there with hot meals for his players. I think it was some kind of BBQ, smelled good as hell.

Anyways, never have seen a team do that before. Little things like that really go a long way in building a team atmosphere me thinks...

That costs money. Not interested.

It took Blank a couple of mistakes to learn the football business. He had the Vick/wheelchair thing, Petrino, and was a little too "Jerry Jones" in the beginning. He learned pretty quick though, by removing McKay as GM and finding Dimitroff, hiring Mike Smith, and then getting out of the way. He genuinely cares about his team and that was a welcome change from the Rakin Smith era.

Anyone that knows me personally, knows that I despise the Falcons with unrelenting hate for a while now. However, I have to admit that I have been severly impressed with Mr. Blank's approach to turning this organization around.

A telling story happened at the outset of his ownership. He asked the players what was most important to them to making this a world-class team. Their response? "Get people in the stands!" So he slashed ticket prices to ridiculous costs (starting @ $10) and filled that stadium as promised.

To me, that speaks volumes about his priorities in the NFL ownership circle.

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
