5 Questions for the Falcons

KS — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 18:38:20 -0000

1. Will you go easy on us?

2. Will you please provide an advance copy of your playbook?

3. May we please borrow Kevin Kolb for the next week?

I can't think of two more questions. are we doing that weekly exchange thing this week? I think these questions need answers. We might also ask the eagles if they would just like to take the week off and we could call it a tie?

We could also ask them if they would be willing to please pretend to fall for our slash quarterback bluff to instill some confidence in herm. it just might help.

Samie Parker - Punt Returner

KS — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:45:26 -0000

From Canada:

While Parker has never returned a punt or kickoff in the NFL, he said it was because he never had a chance with Kansas City, playing behind Dante Hall and Eddie Drummond.

"Most definitely I think I can handle the job," Parker said.

With Fox saying Wednesday that Robinson is still "week-to-week," it's likely he won't be ready for the season opener. After Jason Carter was lost to a season-ending knee injury in Saturday's win over Washington, Parker is Carolina's next option.

yeah, so apparently Same Parker can return punts?

If he can, I'd say this adds to the reasons to fire Priefer (i.e. if he could return punts, why didn't we have him return punts last year).

But call me a doubter on this one.

Kevin McMahan Lost His Job Saturday Night

KS — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:12:35 -0000

Anyone else notice WR Kevin McMahan (#13) just completely give up after the Interception? He could have easily tackled Keys, but he slowed down at the 20 yard line.

Although an earlier post from Direckshun noted that he and Jabari "once again gave us sure hands, making the most of their limited opportunities," to give up that kind of a tackle is pretty unforgivable.

Here is the video (at 3:48) from NFL.com - the camera angle doesn't show the degree to which McMahan slowed down, but if i can find the Channel 5 broadcast later today, I'll post it
