Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
The Atlanta Falcons fired their secondary coach, the Hall of Famer Emmitt Thomas. They signed a cornerback, Dunta Robinson, to a $57 million contract, even though the corner has not appeared in the Pro Bowl. Saturday, they cut a third-round draft pick, Chevis Jackson, who was a draft pick of the GM and you know how much the GMs hate to eat their own.
The Falcons are serious about getting their pass defense fixed. They have to be.
If they are going to play in the same division as the Saints, the Falcons have to win one of those games with New Orleans and they have to stop the pass.
At some point, the defensive line has to lend a hand and get a rush, but that does not always happen. The DBs have to make plays.
There are just two cornerbacks left from 2009, Chris Owens and Brent Grimes. They pushed each other in training camp trying to get the spot opposite Dunta Robinson. Owens is the starter; Grimes is backing up Robinson.
I think they have a chance to get some traction and chemistry. In Game 1, Pittsburgh is playing without its starter, Ben Roethlisberger. In Game 2, Arizona is playing with a quarterback, Derek Anderson, who wasn't expected to beat out Matt Leinart, who was cut.
Game 3 is the Saints and, well, we'll see how that goes in New Orleans.
Game 4 is the 49ers, who could be pretty good. They have some targets for Alex Smith, the quarterback who flopped and has risen again. Ted Ginn Jr., Michael Crabtree and tight end Vernon Davis are pretty good targets.
