Lot of the new HC hires coming in from an offense background, good DCs are going to be at a premium to provide them with support and expertise.



First steps taken to provide a new home for the Falcons, planned to be complete for the start of the 2017 season. The Georgia Dome will be 25 years old by that point, which is about the average lifespan of a domed NFL stadium.



New home will still be in downtown Atlanta, and will hopefully help the city keep those events that currently use the Dome. Long as it doesn't end up being called "Home Depot Stadium" or something similar, it's all good.

Is the new stadium going to be another dome or an open stadium?Ryan will be hoping it's indoor as we all know he's no good away from the dome

I think it would take a team with a very strong leader already in the locker room and a franchise that has discipline and structure from the top down., I wouldn't rule out a team like the Packers, Patriots or Steelers taking him if he falls.

Still indoors, it's a commercial necessity these days IMO as it allows you to host exhibitions, events and stuff like NCAA Final Four.



Keep perpetuating these myths about The Mattural (copyright - Rich Eisen), going to make that Superbowl win all the sweeter

His performance in the National Championship game would've bumped him out of the top 10. He may even fall to a late round 1, early round 2 pick now...

I don't actually agree with the thought that he's no good away from the dome but i thought i'd just mention it anyway





As for your new stadium i just looked it up and it's going to have a retractable roof which is the best way to go as I think american football should be played outdoors the way it was invented but you'll also be able have indoor events with the roof closed.

We are fine at LB so unless we want to replace Hawk or he falls massively I don't see us taking him.



I wouldn't want to anyway. He comes out of the whole situation pretty poorly. If he was hoaxed and knew absolutely nothing about it then at best he is naive (before you even get to why wouldn't he visit his girlfriend in hospital/go to the funeral/visit her family etc). If it turns out he knew about it, either entirely or part way through, and went along with it then that is obviously a ridiculous thing to do.

I think he must have known, like you said pal, to have leukaemia and to have been in a car crash and not to feel the need to go visit her. It's gonna be a strange draft as it is with no clear no1 pick.

Thank god that wasn't a fumble lol.

I hate Atlanta





They'll roll over and die soon though

Sky are a joke. Boring off to Alistair Kirkwood about the games at Wembley next year and missing a touchdown.

I like Matt Ryan (former bc qb), but the Falcons just annoy me.
