This will be my first season watching Hard Knocks. 

What can I expect?


Pretty good show. Usually follows around a few rookies and veterans fighting to keep their jobs, as well as some insight from the coaches about how they evaluate the roster and their decisions to cut players.

Definitely a documentary more than a bad reality tv show. You'll be entertained.

Frankly what I look most forward to is seeing how pissed off Smitty is the entire time.

Not sure if you caught last seasons, but Smitty seem to be more more interested in his golf game than coaching. I doubt you'll see him pissed off, unless it's at Hawley for playing aggressive.

Smith wasn't angry at all actually. It was a good show. I really enjoyed the insight.

Here's the weakness the Falcons have always had under Mike Smith:

the defense does not have enough killers on it.

Nutshell,

I'm calling it now, the Falcons have given me no impression that anything will be drastically different from last season.

Teams that are better built:

Saints
Painters
49'rs
Seahawks
Greenbay

Buc's are just about equal again.

This team can't even buy a super bowl ticket....

Facebook link to the latest Samuel L Jackson video

Figured I'd post it. But that presumptuous bastard thinks I am a Falcon.

I like the spin move and the swarming falcon attack.

That swarming falcon graphic just ruined what was potentially a good marketing campaign for the foreseeable future, forever.

Jumped the shark. Sad day in America.

I disagree

Offensively if the line comes together and by the looks of Jake Mathews and Sam Baker I think the line will look 10 times better this year than last year. If that happens, the offense will score alot of points. Defensively we just need to find a way to generate a pass rush. That being said, I think a healthy Falcons team can win 10 games with the offense alone. Then in the playoffs anything can happen. The Seahawks are built better than everyone but the NFL has a good dose of parity so I won't write them off just yet.

Season Premier was last night. It was really good. I have never watched the show but I really enjoyed it. Roddy White is a hoot.

So much for a slow painful death for my hard knocks thread. It got assassinated.

Anyway. I'm looking forward to the series and my hopes for this team are on the rise!

We ranked 31st in league in rushing yards allowed, if we can stop the run better this year, and all signs point to that being much improved. Then we will be able to pin our ears back and rush the passer when we make teams somewhat one sided. But we also have a nasty compliment of secondary players, minus an unproven starter at free safety.
I'm thinking that number 45 off of hard knocks will make the team and do some good things on special teams.
When baker is healthy he is a solid, And I'm looking foward to the Oline doing their thing, with Matthews looking like a vet.
As long as Matty ice, roddy, Julio and Harry d are healthy we will be putting up points and sustaining drives.
If we can get the ground game going we be over .500 atleast. And you can take that shite to the bank!
