INDIANAPOLIS – Falcons coach Dan Quinn is set to speak to the media at the scouting combine at 4 p.m. today.

We'll post a video and a blog later today after he speaks.

However, he will

">answer questions from the fans today, via twitter, at 12:30 p.m.

The event is being billed as the "Dan Quinn Twitter Takeover."

Here are a couple of suggested questions:

1. Can the fans get a medical up on the season-ending injuries and on all of the players rehabbing from IR last season. (This should be a detailed report with matching MRIs.)

2. How was the evaluation of the roster?

3. In addition to running back Steven Jackson, who will be released?

4. Who are your targets in free agency?

5. Can the fans get an MRI of Jake Mathews' reported injury?

Also, Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff is set to speak at 2:15 p.m.

Here's Mayock's ratings of the top five players heading into the combine.
