Am I just missing the update on DeAngelo Hall? Isn't he hurt, too...or did I just make that up?

Pariah,

Hall is hurt, hurt, hurt and won't be back for a month minimum.

That's good news for the passing game.

With Finneran and White being out, Vick is going to be forced to carry more on his shoulders than Mora would like.......this could play into our game planning significantly.

Dunn at less than 100%.........leaves Price and Crumpler as the only receiving threats.

Me likey.

Passing game you say............

Jenkins is actually better than white or finneran he's just not starting cuz he's a Rookie and they want to ease him into the game. dont worry about the falcons they'll be just fine.

White will play more than likely, Finneran will probably sit moving Farris into the lineup. Jenkins IMHO needs a little more experience to be better than Finneran or White, but he does have more talent than Finneran (almost everyone does). Our WRs wont degrade by losing Finneran, in the version of the WCO we run, the WRs aren't the principle part of the passing game. We live and die w/ Alge Crumpler, he's healthy and it immediately makes the WRs more of a threat.

i hope you're wrong too dd

To get Vick out of the passing game, just guard that FB!!

Griffith isn't the guy to worry about, Crumpler and Price are. The Falcons will definitely try to get Price more involved in the offense this game, and as long as Alge Crumpler and Michael Vick are teammates (aka forever) Crumpler will be a large part of our attack.

Oh yes they should worry about Griffith. If the Cards put an extra guy on Crumpler to lock him down, you'll see a lot of short passes to Griffith.

The problem in defending the Falcons is that with Vick, they have one too many offensive weapons to cover.

Price, White - WR (better than avg receivers)
Crumpler - TE (excellent receiver)
Dunn - RB (excellent receiver)
Griffith - FB (better than avg receiver on his way to being excellent)

If the defense pays too much attention to Vick, one of the guys will be open every play. If the defense tries to shut these five guys down, they won't be paying enough attention to Vick and Vick will kill them.

Slope you have no idea how good that sounds from a Falcon fan standpoint.
