Baker out for the season

Starting left tackle Sam Baker has been lost for the season following a play in the second quarter against the Texans in which he tore his patella tendon. The Falcons lost the game 32-7.

This adds to the players which are beginning to pile up on the injured reserve list. Baker joins guard Gabe Carami, tight end Micky Schuler, running back Stephen Jackson and most recently tackle Terren Jones.

The Falcons have a couple of options with this years Sixth overall draft selection Jake Matthews in the mix.

“We would have a number of options,” Head Coach Mike Smith said. “Again, our No. 1 goal would be to put the five best offensive linemen out there. We obviously know that he is one of the five best because he is a starter. Is he our best left tackle, our best option? That is something that we will have to determine if we have to address that.”

The Falcons play host to the Tennessee Titans this Saturday at 7 p.m. Great seats and cheap tickets are still available so get yours NOW!

Falcons wrap up Rookie Mini Camp

Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Mike Smith has wrapped up the teams rookie mini camp and is happy with the progress of his rookies but know there is so much more that the youngsters have to learn to be on par with the veterans come the preseason.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do with these young rookies that our coming in to catch up with our veterans,” Smith said. “When we can really go out and do football, and what I mean by do football, is work against each other and not against air like we are in the coaching sessions here in phase two of our offseason program which we certainly hope changes in the future, because it is not the most beneficial for players or coaches.”

In other news, the Falcons broke ground on their new $1.2 billion retractable roof stadium that will also be the home of a newly acquired MLS franchise that will begin play in the new stadium in 2017.

Falcons look to Tampa Bay for redemption

The Atlanta Falcons are trying to recover from an embarrasing loss to the Seattle Seahawks in which they managed only one touchdown and one field goal. The loss marked the return of superstar receiver Roddy White who participated in 55 of the 58 snaps on offense, which equates to 95% of the snaps. The Falcons are in the midst of a three game losing streak and have lost by a combined 88-33 score.

“It’s been frustrating,” quarterback Matt Ryan said. “Obviously, we’re nine games into it and certainly not even close to where we want to be and that makes it difficult.”

Head Coach Mike Smith has confidence in his team and feels that they are playing to the best of their abilities. Granted, that this loss Sunday was against a top notch team.

“I do feel like our guys are playing hard,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “We just physically didn’t win the line of scrimmage today, on both sides of the football.”

The Falcons go back on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are coming off their first victory of the season against the Dolphins last weekend. Great seats and tickets are still available.
