Falcons 2007 Preview

CURTIS COMPTON AND DAVID TULIS photos from Falcons special section for 2007 season.

The Falcons begin their season in the shadows of Michael Vick's guilty plea on federal dogfighting charges.

One of the encouraging additions to the Falcons is first-round draft pick Jamaal Anderson, a defensive end from Arkansas.

Tight end Alge Crumpler, once Vick's favorite targets, says the veterans will have to take up the slack.

New starting QB Joey Harrington, with his wife Emily, is eager to make a fresh start in Atlanta after unpleasant stints in Detroit and Miami.

Second-year running back Jerious Norwood is an avid hunter and fisherman from Mississippi. He makes a catch in a pond near the Falcons facility in Flowery Branch.

Trying to pull everything together for the Falcons is first-year head coach Bobby Petrino, whose life has revolved around family and football.
