Caught up with Falcons general manger Thomas Dimitroff at the team’s community service project on Thursday.

Here’s the blog on that.

I wanted to follow-up on his radio interview about the cornerbacks and he elaborated on the plan. He said Dunta Robinson, Brent Grimes and Asante Samuel will all get some action inside.

“Dunta has played inside at Houston and has a desire to play inside as well and that’s positive,” Dimitroff said. “He did a nice job down there. When he came to us, he’s been outside-only as you know. I understand that he’s looking forward to jumping back inside and spending some time in there as well. There is a good chance that all of those guys will be spending time inside and out.”

The theme of the training camp will be “open competition.”

“They’ll be competing for their positions and where they’ll be playing,” Dimitroff said. “Like Mike Smith has said, this is a very, very competitive year at a number of positions. We are excited about having Asante on board to improve the talent in our secondary.”

He was excited about watching the new rookies, drafted and undrafted, next Friday through Sunday at the rookie minicamp.

He had a group assessment to share about the undrafted players.

“Interestingly enough, as a group, it seems like at virtually every position grouping there are guys that are going to be very interesting to monitor through the process,” Dimitroff said.

We likely will not get the team’s first “unofficial” depth chart until late July. However, that will not keep us from stacking our own unofficial depth chart.

The Falcons have filled their roster at 90 players, the maximum number allowed by league rules.

Looking through the depth chart brought one name to mind. Jason Snelling. When he played in several games (I believe in 2009) when Turner was injured, we didn’t skip a beat. The avg gain was only a fraction less and we had a much better reciever with Snelling who can also play FB. After that we let him go into FA almost without a thanks. The only way we kept him for an extremely low contract was a timing issue. No teams really needed a good RB. I don’t think we’ve given him very much respect. I hope DK will find a way to use him and Quizz more and rest Turner more. That is if we decide to keep Turner. Most agree it’s better to trade while there is a little left in the tank.

@SeenThisB4 – while you’re worrying about our QB playing golf, you should take note that your QB is out surfing in shark infested waters. So, who really has their priorities screwed up??

@Left Coast Dawg- Dude I know we are enemies, but lets not pass a line that one shouldn’t. You probably don’t even know why he was surfing out there, well i’ll enlighten you anyways. He was there for a remembrance ceremony for Junior Seau’s Death. I’d say Drew Brees’s priorities are right on track. RIP Junior Seau, sorry for this ignorant fans’s comment. We all miss you.

Ignominious stalker, please leave falcon jim alone. I don’t want to have to call on my friends: Tim Tebow, Norm Van Brocklin to help out here. Falcon Jim is a righteous, 56 year-old-man who’s given up drinking. Let’s celebrate him for the stand-up guy that he is.

@SeenThisBefore – I know why he was out there but like I said, his priorities are screwed up if he thinks swimming with sharks is the only way to remember Junior. He could’ve put on a Seau throwback jersey and ran up and down the beach a few times or something.
