Big day at Flowery Branch
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Thanks for all of the love on yesterday’s beat blog.
Today is going to be a big day at Flowery Branch.
Wednesday is a heavy-lifting day, as the Falcons will get in a major portion of their game plan for the Lions.
The local media also has a conference call with former Georgia Tech standout Calvin Johnson. Word out of the Motor City is that he’s blossoming into a major threat (as expected) in the passing game.
Johnson and Roy Williams figured to be a load for the Falcons young cornerbacks on Sunday. Now, with the addition of running back Rudi Johnson, they might even have a respectable running game.
Also, the new guys - Domonique Foxworth and Jamaal Fudge - will be available after practice.
Foxworth should be able to help immediately. I have to learn more about Fudge’s skills, other than he’s a good special teams players.
Just been trying to figure out how the Falcons are going to defend Johnson and Williams. Got any thoughts? Zone? Man? Double cover both of them?
Again, send along any questions as I plan to jump back in between interview sessions and practice today.
