Shockley: Falcons get it right
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
No doubt that the Falcons made some good decisions with their cuts. No real surprises. Shockley deserves to be No. 3. Chances are that he won’t play, but with all the injuries these days (ask the Braves), it’s good to have him there if the Falcons need him. I’m hoping last season’s injury is behind him and that that won’t be a concern.
Of course, I feel bad for Harrington, but I think this makes the most since for the Falcons. Sure, he wasn’t helped by the offensive line’s inability to block ANYONE last season, but he made bad decisions at critical times. That was the beginning of his downfall and he just didn’t make his mark in the preseason.
I hate that Thomas Brown is out of for the season. I think he could have been a difference-maker. He had a great preseason and looked primed to make his mark. His quickness could have been a real asset to setting up good field position on kick returns, something this team is going to need with a rookie at starting quarterback.
It’s exciting that the team is set and hopefully ready to start strong next Sunday against the Lions.
Go Falcons!
