Falcons hope to rebound against Panthers

Gonzalez fights off rumors of trade demand

After losing to the Arizona Cardinals last weekend, the chorus of pundits calling for All Pro TE Tony Gonzalez to be traded to a winning teal allowing him a chance at a Super Bowl ring.  Funny enough, non of these calls are being made by Gonzalez himself.

With the Falcons sitting at 2-5, Gonzalez says it is “understandable” that folks want to see a Super Bowl ring on his finger, but points out not at the expense of his current team.

“But, like I said, I love my guys on this team too much to go ask for a trade. It would be something that would come from them where they said, ‘Hey, it makes sense because we could get something good for you and send you to a team that’s a contender.’ So I understand the thought process behind that.”

The Falcons next face the Carolina Panthers this weekend and hope to add another win to Gonzalez’s victory column.  Great tickets are still available.

Falcons Visit Saints in season opener

The  Atlanta Falcons got their roster down to the mandatory 53 but in doing so, bucked tradition.

“I’ll say this, we let a lot of good football players, a lot of good men, go over the weekend,” Head Coach Mike Smith said Monday. “Tough decisions.”

One decision that bucks their normal trend was in keeping six running backs on this years squad.

“They have competed, and we said it was going to be open competition in our evaluation. They won the competition and that is why they are here on our squad. They will have an opportunity to help us win football games this year.”

The Falcons take on the New Orleans Saints Sunday at 1.  Tickets are still available!
