Good reporting Paver

D3 Mighty Ducks · 08-07-10, 02:42 PM

Thank you Pavy for this update

I'm a huge Falcons fan up here in Toronto. Got tickets to their week 6 clash against the Eagles in Philly and will flying down to the the ATL for the Thanksgiving game on November 11. Cannot wait

dtp · 08-07-10, 02:47 PM

nice report, glad it was fun.

Chugs · 08-07-10, 03:05 PM

I dont know about beating NO out for the division, but I like them for the NFC wild card.

KC · 08-07-10, 04:52 PM

I think they have taken a ton of money on season wins over already

Dirty Sanchez · 08-07-10, 05:06 PM

I went to the KC scrimmage today at St Joe's....one guy stood out....Dexter McCluster...he could be a real surprise for Chief fans this year. I also saw Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weiss...damn near a thousand pounds of coach.

Keep us up to date. I think the Chiefs will have a good team this year.

Dirty Sanchez · 08-07-10, 05:40 PM

First Monday Night game of the season at Arrowhead...Chiefs are a live dog for sure

vboyt · 08-07-10, 06:04 PM

Falcons have great depth now.

I'm seeing a surprising KC this year. Easily can start with the Dirty Birds.

How are they using McCluster, as a RB or a slot receiver.. Just curious for Fantasy purposes.

Thanks for the update, Sanchez. I agree, pavyracer. KC has a great schedule and have improved on the OL & the defensive backfield. McCluster could be a very good weapon.

hope to see my falcons in the playoffs!

JeremyClarck · 08-09-10, 05:45 AM

I should be there in October

patswin · 08-09-10, 07:28 AM

Looks like they have a good team this year
Lots are picking them as a potential sleeper team

3PtShooter · 08-09-10, 08:32 AM

I always thought coaches kinda got back into shape during the offseason and then put the weight back on during those late night film sessions with all of that pizza & donuts. These guys might qualify for The Biggest Loser next spring.

Been goin' to the Jets training camp all week, really cool experience as you said about being so close to the players. Also I enjoy getting autographs and making small talk with the players, good some pretty quality advice from Braylon Edwards on growing a beard among other things, lots of good people on the Jets.

midoriwilleatyou · 08-09-10, 09:45 AM

I was there too and the Friday Night Lights game. They're looking really good this season.

geebert74 · 08-09-10, 09:46 AM

thanks for the report!

cigar · 08-09-10, 09:51 AM

nice report

Brock Landers · 08-09-10, 10:19 AM

Training Camp is less than meaningless..

The team is set already, they are just going through the motions

Yeah I like the setting they have where you can sit on the hill and watch the whole practice and see the players and coaches from close distance. This week they are practicing together with the Jaguars. Unfortunately the practices are during work time and I won't make it.

Watched the team scrimmage for a couple hours. It was hot and humid and just watching it was fun. The team is in very good shape. Passing was crisp and the RB's where running through the corridors very precisely. It was a very good experience and you are literally feet away from the players and you get to see their talents on the field. Coach Smith had the team practicing like clockwork. The Falcons will compete for the division title this year. Everyone is healthy and there is plenty of talent to push this team to the top.

TheCommish · 08-09-10, 10:36 AM

Thanks for the update. The falcons should do well this season. -- win the division, hard to say.

About Atlanta Falcons...

Falcons had a really tough schedule last year, in terms of both caliber of foe, and when the games were played. The Saints didn't play a division game until about Week 7 or 8, and were unbeaten at that point, a point where Atlanta was very banged-up, which rendered the NFC South games almost meaningless in 2009. Saints were still only 0-4 ATS vs. Atlanta and Carolina, right? Agree...with better scheduling set-ups, tougher slate for New Orleans, a BIG year for Falcons in 2010 and they could be nicely undervalued in many games.

pavyracer · 08-09-10, 11:18 AM

The most important factor is coach Smith. In his 2nd year now and the owner gave him everything he asked. The players love to play for this guy. Falcons will be a force to be reckoned with in the NFC South.

tlfs · 08-09-10, 11:25 AM

3rd year for coach Smith and staff.

reverend · 08-09-10, 08:54 PM

I the Falcons will be a team playing for something at the end

jquest · 08-09-10, 08:58 PM

everything looks good in training camp, there is no defensive line. I hereby label this thread irrelevant.

Dirty Sanchez · 08-09-10, 09:01 PM

I hereby call your first post a failure fella

For KC I saw McCluster in the wildcat mostly in the slot...Jamal Charles was in the backfield. What I did see was McCluster taking all of the punts during the scrimmage because he dropped two and Haley was all over him. McCluster will be wearing #22 and is extremely quick, moving away from people with ease. They didn't feature him alot in the scrimmage, some of the fish hacks in the local area said that they don't want to give teams a look at all the wrinkles Weiss is putting in. Also take a look at Dwayne Bowe at WR as he's looked real good so far, and he's keeping his mouth shut as well.

JW Cash · 08-09-10, 10:48 PM

Doesnt every team essentially look good in TC..
