Roddy White News

From Matt Ryan , to Roddy White, to Julio Jones, to Tony Gonzalez and more, there's no denying the Atlanta Falcons are stacked with playmakers.

The Falcons made a risky, yet calculated move to acquire Julio Jones in the 2011 draft, and it has already led to a more explosive and potent offense during the 2011 season.

In order for the Falcons' offense to soar under new coordinator Dirk Koetter, Pro Bowl wide receiver Roddy White figures that he must do less.

Manning went on to win a Super Bowl and four MVPs, but as Ryan readies for his fifth season as the starting quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons , you would be hard-pressed to find many who would dare mention him in the same sentence with Manning.

The Atlanta Falcons rolled out their "starting" lineups for OTAs this week, and as always, it was dotted with familiar names.

Each NFL team has a player who comes from nowhere and makes a statement in the NFL.

Every year, the Falcons bring in anywhere from 15 to 25 undrafted free agents to compete for roster spots, and this year is no different.

If you watch the video of Atlanta coach Mike Smith talking to the media after Tuesday's workout, it might sound a little like a typical Smith news conference.

In yesterday's Bears Den, Spongie brought Peter King's Monday Morning QB column to our attention, but with Memorial Day putting a dent in our usual readership we wanted to bring the piece to light again for those that may have missed it.

Some players regress over time, where skills slip little by little. Others feel a sharp decline in their play from one season to another.

I am glad that Mr. Blank is not making statements about our team's window closing.

Yes, the start of training camps is two months away, but it's never too early to consider the coming season.

It's one of the biggest currents running through many Falcons fans, some for quite a long time: is there some sort of disconnect present within the Atlanta Falcons organization? In other words, is everyone on the same page when it comes to vision and direction, namely Mike Smitoh, Thomas Dimitroff, and Arthur Blank.

Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski combined to make 169 catches for 2,237 yards and 24 TDs in 2011.

By now we've all heard the news: Danny Coale , the heir apparent to the third receiver position , has a broken foot that requires surgery.

UPDATE: It's not often a post I write is moot before it's even posted, but there you go.

First came the decision to trade five selections in order to move up in the 2011 NFL Draft for receiver Julio Jones.

The 2012 offseason has been one of the more turbulent in recent memory. The Atlanta Falcons changed both coordinators, and essentially stole Asante Samuel from the Philadelphia Eagles .

What I'm interested in hearing for this afternoon's discussion-based post is who you think will be the team's best options when they get inside the 20.
