DEL.ICIO.USNot much movement
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The offense has just finished the serious business of running plays with Matt Schaub under center in place of the injured (hamstring) starting QB Michael Vick. Vick looked calm and healthy while sauntering onto the field, flashing a peace sign, to observe.
This is this blogger’s first time seeing tight end Alge Crumpler fully involved in team drills. He is running and cutting well, and catching everything thrown his way.
DeAngelo Hall, after receiving a congratulatory low-five from head coach Jim Mora, returned to working with the starting defense. And once the starting offense and defense started tangling against each other, the D definitely had the upper hand. Aside from some downfield passes Schaub was able to squeeze between double coverage Michael Jenkins and Roddy White, the chains weren’t moving much.

Is Mike already taking it easy? Or just seeing what Schaub can do? Seems like he does this every year just so there can be QB controversy over who should be #1 …

@LJ The AJC is a joke. They need to start paying an established blogger instead of hiring all of these non-professionals. You get what you pay for and it’s obvious that they are not paying much.
DeAngelo Hall played wide receiver in college. He’s very capable of playing both sides of the ball at a very high level. We have to find a way to get him more touches because something good always happens when he’s near the football.

wow.
Hey buddy, here’s a blog tip for you, don’t type in all caps. Also, if you want people to respect your opinion, then spell correctly and type messages with readable sentences.

Regarding the kicker issue, I have observed many football seasons over the years including a college national championship while attending that school and I will tell you that more often than not the kicking game was the primary reason for achieving the top spot at the college and the professional level. Kicking game includes place kicking, kick-offs and punting. All are essential to setting up field position and capitalizing on great defensive and offensive efforts. A team will never achieve top status without excellent kicking. You want to deflate a team and the effort put forth on the field - have you kicker miss a chip shot when it counts or shank one out of the end zone. It’s also a great way to get the fans to turn on you as well.
