Scrolling across the bottom of the screen on WGCL 46 several times during the Pats-Jets game was this message:

"Can you be an NFL field goal kicker?  We want to see and we may give your name to the Falcons.  Come to Morehouse College at the corner of Lowery Boulevard and Westview Drive from 1pm until 3pm Monday afternoon."

Ummm, huh?  What is that all about?  Who would be running that ad?  Do I have 75 words yet?

From official Falcons site

From the offense, they cut:
QB Joey Harrington
WR Eric Weems
WR Chandler Williams
TE Marcus Pollard
TE Keith Zinger
OL D'Anthony Batiste
OL Michael Butterworth
OL Kynan Forney
OL Terrance Pennington
C Doug Datish

And from the defense, they cut:
DE Willie Evans
DE Brandon Miller
DT Rashad Moore
DT Montavious Stanley
LB Mickey Pimentel
LB Cameron Vaughn
CB Wilrey Fontenot
CB Glenn Sharpe
S Eric Brock
S Deke Cooper
S Daren Stone

Harrington and Pollard aren't much of a surprise, I guess, since Shockley has looked pretty good in the preseason, and Milner is back from his injury.  A lot of you guys know much more about the position battles than I do, especially along the lines.

So, any surprises?

AJC story on Sam Baker

The AJC is reporting that Sam Baker agreed to terms with the Falcons on Friday night, and will report to camp bright and early on Saturday morning.

No word on what the contract terms are, or if he will be required to participate in any more musical theatre productions.  It's a shame he and Matty Ice have already created fodder for rookie hazing.

So, looks like all the draft picks are now signed, a good sign for the new administration.
