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.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
