Harrington or Shockley?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m a Joey Harrington fan, but I think D.J. Shockley should be a part of the Falcons. Both aren’t likely to have a spot on the roster because it looks like Redman will be No. 2 on the depth chart. Harrington didn’t help his cause last season and Shockley’s injury hurt his chances. It will be a tough decision.
I’d say go with Shockley because Harrington had his chance and the team lost its confidence in him. Hard to repair that. Shockley helped himself Thursday night, but not sure how much weight that will carry.
The Falcons need to keep Brian Finneran. He deserves another chance to prove he can make a difference. He’s the tall and reliable third-down receiver the rookie quarterback needs.
Jason Snelling has earned a roster spot in the preseason. The Falcons need him in goal-line and short yardage situations. Keep Thomas Brown. Let him return kickoffs and punts. He could be a difference-maker.
The final preseason game wasn’t pretty, but it looks like the Falcons feel like Ryan is ready. We’ll see Sept. 7.
Let’s go Falcons!
