One Stop Shop for all Atlanta Falcons Information
Per Kelsey Conway at Atlantafalcons.com, the NFL has announced that in an effort to honor Youth Football Teams from around the State of Florida, the game between the Miami Dolphins and Falcons has been moved to Camping World Stadium in Orlando, (formally the Orlando Citrus Bowl) .
The Atlanta Falcons have some crucial needs, all at defense and the franchise is not letting on as to where exactly the team will draft. From linebackers, to guards to safeties, the needs are plentyful and thankfully so are the personnel in the draft but odds on favorite has to be on FSU Safety Keanu Neal, who was courted by Dan Quinn before he left. The 2016 NFL Draft is tonight!
The Atlanta Falcons (8-7) will host the New Orleans Saints (6-9) this weekend and even though both teams are out of the playoff hunt, expect them to bring their A games for different reasons. The Falcons are fighting to give Head Coach Dan Quinn a winning season while the Saints are trying to prevent Head Coach Sean Peyton’s first 10-loss season.
“You could very easily say we’re not playing for a playoff position here,” Saints QB Drew Brees said. “Why risk it? Why do this? Well because first of all it’s our jobs. It’s what we’re paid to do. We take pride in what we do. But also we’ve got guys we don’t want to let down. We want to be there for them. We want to do this together.”
