Falcons to welcome Jaguars, hope to avoid fights
Jacksonville running Maurice Jones-Drew is set to practice against the Falcons on Monday and Tuesday. (D. Orlando Ledbetter/dledbetter@ajc.com
FLOWERY BRANCH – For the next two days, the Falcons will host the Jacksonville Jaguars for four practices.
The practices should help the Falcons fine tune some things before the exhibition season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at the Georgia Dome.
“It is good for us mentally, and it is good for the players to practice against some other guys,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “I think it is good for the evaluation process. That is the biggest thing.”
Counting OTAs, the Falcons have had more than 30 practices against each other. They are ready to see some different colored uniforms.
“They are going to get an opportunity to have to defend different receivers,” Smith said. “They will have to disengage against different blockers, so I think it is really going to be good. I am looking forward to it.”
Smith and Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio talked at length Saturday morning to finalize the plans.
“I think that we are on the same page of trying to make sure that it is a normal practice,” said Smith, who is not calling the practices a scrimmage. “There is not going to be any tackling, and you aren’t really going to see anything different
Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio probably will not wear his suit for practice in Flowery Branch.
in terms of the tempo. We are getting the opportunity to work against other opponents.”
All four practices are open to the public. Monday’s practice times are 8:30-10:40 a.m. and from 3:45 to 4:40 p.m.
On Tuesday, they will practice from 8:30 to 10:40 a.m. and 3:45 to 5:50 p.m.
Smith served as Del Rio’s defensive coordinator for five seasons before becoming the Falcons head coach.
Veterans Todd McClure and Brian Finneran were around the last time the Falcons had a training camp practice/scrimmage. They headed over to Nashville to scrimmage the Titans in 2004.
The intensity of practice will pick up.
“It gets pretty feisty,” Finneran said. “When you go twice a day against a team you probably don’t like very much your competitive juices start flowing.”
There was one thing McClure remembers from the Nashville scrimmages.
“Fights,” McClure said. “That’s all it was. We had to stop practice during the nine on seven drills because of fights. Tempers flare. If you can control that some kind of way, you can get some really good work.”

Why is it that every time I come on here to read about the Falcons and look at the comments SeenThisB4 is on here hating? This was as posted a 7:00 and he had a hate comment on here by 7:07. It doesn’t ever even cross my mind to go onto a rival teams blog and hate and try to piss people off. It takes a certain kind of person I guess. I really hope SeenThisB4 is 12 or 13 years old because if he’s an adult then that is pretty damn pathetic. The Saints won the Super Bowl, why are you on here hating? Go on the Saints blog and talk to other Saints fans. I know that the Falcons are good enough to beat the Saints but are you so threatened that you have jump on every blog post to hate? I really just don’t understand why your on this blog.

cursive: Spelling is not my strong suit. If I misspell a word, so what? I used it in the correct context.
Why would Smith and Del Rio conjure up a practice, with an opposing team, designed without tackling, if they were not worried about the brittle bones, loose ligaments and gutless spirits of their players?

SeenThisB4 is a swamp castoff. He’s only here because he knows we pose a threat to his team. The Saints defense ain’t that good buddy, why are you gloating on your team as if we didn’t play em like we did last year?
If anything, you should be on a Saints blog relishing your SB win that you won’t see again for 43 years. I admit, Brees is a Hall Of Fame QB, and Payton is a great coach. But how could anyone ever forget the Dirty Birds? C’mon now man, back to back winning seasons? First time in history? Don’t fool yourselves.
You’re here hating on us, and we didn’t even go to the playoffs last year. And everyone here knows that we didn’t because of injury. I don’t care how much people call it an excuse. If Matt Ryan plays one more game last year, we’d be 10-6 at worst.
Go somewhere and jerk off to a Lombardy trophy instead of spewing hate on all our blogs.

If you all haven’t figured this out by now I’m from New Orleans and have been so frustrated over the years pulling for a team that couldn’t beat it’s way out of a wet paper bag that I’ve just got to rag on the Falcons and the city of Atlanta because we have felt so inferior to them for so long. It wasn’t to many years ago that I wore a paper bag over my head when I went to the Saints games and called them the Aints. I guess that I am so afraid that the Falcons are going to burst our bubble this year and knock us off the high perch that we’ve waited so long to attain. But if it happens I suppose of all things it would be appropro.

FalcantsinPA: Some of these comments are being posted by imposters using my name. You know the game.
I take pride in my team, even in the down years, which have been quite numerous but, not so numerous that the Saints can’t claim that they have kicked quite a bit of falcant butt through the years as well. Sure, you lead the overall head to head standings, I think Birdword says its 45 to 37, I have no reason to dispute that figure, but I also know that it used to be something like 44 to 20. It won’t be long before the Saints catch up and surpass your number of wins, about 4 years from now. And all of you, hopefully, will still be there to bear witness to it.
Must have been a tough pill to swallow, to have the Saints win a Super Bowl before your team did. LOL!

Have to admit – SeenThisB4 is pretty funny. The entertainment value is high – though seems to have a whole lot of time on his/her hands today (all about the equal opportunity).
SeenThisB4 – I’m a little surprised at your astounding level of confidence given the performance of previous year’s SB winners. While plunder is the reward, recent history points to a slightly better than .500 season and relegation to ‘can they pull it together to make the playoffs’ speculation by the bye week. I just hope we won’t be missing your Faulkner-like stream of conscious ramblings 6-games into the season- way too entertaining. Not necessarily rational – but definitely entertaining.
JohnKennesaw

As for the team – hope to get through the next 2 weeks with Jenkins as the most serious injury. Despite the bluster of Seen.. – the reality is that the Saints have a more significant depth concern than the Falcons. While preseason punditry is a waste of time – at least it can be entertaining – the work done by TD the last 2 years to fill depth at all levels has been outstanding. OL could be a little better; maybe another linebacker; But overall, I’d take the depth at QB, RB, DB, DL over what the other contenders have (Vikings; Saints; Boys)

Barring injury, we should see a lot of JPWilson vs KC friday night. I’d be surprised if the 1st team runs more than a couple of series and since we know what Redman can do it should be a great opportunity to get a good look at our #3.
Although TO looked good vs Dallas, I still disagree that ATL should have signed him. We’ve got some great talent that are developing quickly. They need the reps, and with Jenkins down, we ought to get a great look at the young WRs friday…..

My all time favorite Saint beat-down was the last game of the 1977 season. The Falcants salvaged a 7-7 season with a 35-0 smashing of the aints in sub twnenty degree weather. With that shutout, the Falcons set the record for the least number of points given up by a defense for an entire season. B4 was still shyting diapers with a grocery sack over his head.

Louisiana was an overwhelming Red state. The only parish that voted for Mr. Obama, I regretfully admit, was Orleans Parish. But, that was expected. Orleans Parish will always vote the Blue ticket, regardless of the candidates skin tone. (Unless of course, the candidate is asian, but that’s a whole other story.)

no rekingball, he’s only done more to chip away at our freedoms than any President in history. He hasn’t stopped them either. Nor has he de-escalated, but he has sent additional troops. Also, he has proven inept at handling crises (Nashville floods, BP, etc…) and this is with him having the benefit of lessons supposedly learned from Katrina. Economically, how about the following if you care to read….
President Barack Obama has repeatedly claimed that his budget would cut the deficit by half by the end of his term. But given that Obama has already helped quadruple the deficit with his stimulus package, pledging to halve it by 2013 is hardly ambitious.
What’s driving Obama’s unprecedented massive deficits? Spending.
• President Bush expanded the federal budget by a historic $700 billion through 2008. President Obama would add another $1 trillion.
• President Bush began a string of expensive financial bailouts. President Obama is accelerating that course.
• President Bush created a Medicare drug entitlement that will cost an estimated $800 billion in its first decade. President Obama has proposed a $634 billion down payment on a new government health care fund.
• President Bush increased federal education spending 58 percent faster than inflation. President Obama would double it.
• President Bush became the first President to spend 3 percent of GDP on federal antipoverty programs. President Obama has already increased this spending by 20 percent.
• President Bush tilted the income tax burden more toward upper-income taxpayers. President Obama would continue that trend.
• President Bush presided over a $2.5 trillion increase in the public debt through 2008. Setting aside 2009 (for which Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for an additional $2.6 trillion in public debt), President Obama’s budget would add $4.9 trillion in public debt from the beginning of 2010 through 2016.
Many Obama defenders in the comments are claiming that the numbers above do not include spending on Iraq and Afghanistan during the Bush years. They most certainly do. While Bush did fund the wars through emergency supplementals (not the regular budget process), that spending did not simply vanish. It is included in the numbers above. These numbers are from the Washington Post. President Bush took office in January 2001, and therefore played a lead role in crafting the FY 2002-2008 budgets. Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for the FY 2009 budget deficit that overlaps their administrations, before President Obama assumes full budgetary responsibility beginning in FY 2010. Overall, President Obama’s budget would add twice as much debt as President Bush over the same number of years.

Anyway, I guess we’ll see in January. I see the Bird’s as wild card and The Boy’s as finishing first. It’s going to be nice with both teams competative. Personally after all these years I’m happy for both teams and hope the NFC South is beginning a run to pure dominance in the NFL. THAT will be sweet! It’s Monday – go get some red beans and rice and leave the trash talk until after 5 pm on Sept 26th.

Back in the day…, these dual practices used to be an annual occurence in Falcon camps, always with a lot of fisticuffs, but productive nonthelesss. I wonder why they went away from these scrimmages as they appear to be a no-lose situations for both teams, as well as moneysaving for the visiting team. It would also appear to be helpful as the players should be more attentive when practicing against someone other than themselves. Maybe some of you other guys remember when the birds used to have these dual team practices?

DOL, here’s a little word of advice. Having people talk a little smack on your blog is probably a good way to spark interest. When it takes over the blog EVERY DAY and 30% of the posts come from one or two trolls it’s time to ban them. There are many of your readers who have checked out your blog only to be turned off by the constant Saints BS. Over the last couple weeks how many people have stopped reading your articles because of this garbage? The number of posts hasn’t dropped dramatically unless you subtract all the ones from the trolls (31 from one person on this blog alone).
For everyone else, just ignore them. They’ll quit if you don’t respond. “Choke” got the treatment and stopped for a while (Then was banned from a couple blogs). I’m sure you’d rather talk Falcons than get in a blog pissing contest with some kid who’s on summer vacation (who else has the time on a weekday to spend 14 hrs checking a blog)?

As a lifelong NFL fan and a saint fan too, I am terribly embarassed by all of this garbage coming from STB4 and other saint fans. These opinions or whatever you’d like to call all of this crap does not at all reflect the feelings of the vast majority of saint fans. I have been to many Saint-Falcon games over the years, and have usually always had a good time partying with fans of both teams. During the game, obviously battle lines are drawn. But once it’s over, it’s over until the next time they meet. This trash ,over and over and back and forth, clearly is for folks with little or no life at all. Even though these teams were rarely ever really good(falcons better than saints until last yr), this has always been a really good NFL rivalry. I can’t understand all of this hatred because after digesting all of this reading, much of this stuff clearly is not in good fun at all. STB4 isn’t the only one, but this guy probably has never played team sports in his life, so his way to create some form of competition is to instigate on a blog. I’d be curious what he really knows about the game of football or most any other sport for that matter. Guys, I would not respond to this angry, bitter, and just pathetic human being anymore. On another note,both the Saints and Falcons have the potential to be good and/or very good this year! The rivalry has intensified and the stakes are high for both teams from ownership to front office to coaches to players to fans. We’re only a month away from a very highly anticipated season. I think the saints and falcons will split their 2 meetings and both have an excellent chance to make the playoffs in my opinion this season. In conclusion, STB4 and a few others in no way are the voice(s) of the majority of lifelong saint fans from the gulf south region. Most of us have always respected and enjoyed the rivalry with the Falcons. Once again ,I(and trust me when I say many others)apologize for these few bad apples who we’d like to throw out of our fan base. STB4, you are an absolute disgrace pal, and may I suggest some type of counseling whether that’s anger management or something else. If you think you don’t need it, you are in big time denial!
