Foxworth takes over D. Hall’s old spot
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Well, DeAngelo Hall is not welcome back in the ATL by the new regime.
Coach Smith said pursuing DeAngelo Hall was not in the teams plans. That left little wiggle room. That was a no. Not today, not tomorrow and not 10 years from now.
Farewell D. Hall!
So let’s get back to some on the field stuff. Smith also noted that Domonique Foxworth is now the starter at left cornerback. (D. Hall’s old spot that Brent Grimes was filling). Grimes has been slowed by a sprained posterior cruciate ligament and Foxworth has started the last two games.
Foxworth, who came over from Denver in a trade right before the start of the season, has played well.
Foxworth and the rest of the secondary will need a strong game against the Saints and the league’s top rated passing attack on Sunday.
What must the Falcons do to slow down Drew Brees and the Saints passing attack? Like Foxworth? Grimes will play in situations and on specials teams, cool with that? Who’s going to stop the fleet Devery Henderson? Will Lawyer Milloy get a clean hit on Jeremy Shockey and knock him out?
