Atlanta Falcons: Falcons to play on sloppy track
The field and the lower bowl of Sun Life Stadium has been evacuated because of lightning. (D. Orlando Ledbetter/dledbetter@ajc.com)
MIAMI — Just as the Falcons were about to take the field for warmups it started raining heavily at Sun Life Stadium.
The bowl of the stadium was evacuated because lightning.
Falcons coach Mike Smith places a premium on not suffering injuries in the exhibition season.
This game was supposed to serve as the Falcons’ dress rehearsal for the season. Smith planned to play his starters well into the third quarter.
With a soaked field, the risk for injury is increased. It will interesting to see how the Falcons approach this game.
The team has 89 players on the roster and must cut down to 75 by Monday.
After the Miami game, the Falcons will play at Jacksonville on Aug. 30 in their exhibition season finale. The roster must be trimmed to 53 by Aug. 31.
The storm eventually stopped.
Around 6:30 p.m, about an hour before the schedule kickoff, the Falcons special teams players returned to the field to start warming up.
Cornerback Christopher Owens (hamstring), cornerback Darrin Walls (right quad), safety Shann Schillinger (foot), running back Jason Snelling (lower right leg), defensive tackle Elisha Joseph (concussion), left tackle Will Svitek (upper right arm), wide receiver Kerry Meier (foot) and defensive tackle Corey Peters (foot) will not play against the Dolphins.

Oh no! Not rain! Not in Miami! In summer!

Play the starters. Can’t play scared. It’s always messy down in Miami when we play there for some reason. Play them till halftime then let up. It’ll be okay, gotta prepare them for the season.

This team seems like a scared team. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Falcons, but they just play scared and how your team plays reflects your head coach. Look at Alabama…Nick Saban is hard nosed, disciplined, and to the point, and Bama is dominant. Falcons with Mike Smith are a good team, but when will we become dominant? We have the talent, but damn can we get a killer instinct?

We have the worst pair of tackles of any team that will make the playoffs this year. We will put up big numbers against the lower half of the league and get clobbered by the upper half. That translates to an 8-8 season and hopefully enough sense to draft offensive and defense lineman with at least our first 4 picks next year.

Whatever Fan, if you can’t see holes in this roster, that is actual “ignorance.” Ignorance is not “stupidity,” it is a “lack of knowledge.” Scheme is wonderful, but there comes a time when a team must line up and beat someone… The Dolphins are a bad football team… Conversely, against better teams, the Falcons (minus a very few talented players) is not better than their competition…
I “bash” them because they’ve whiffed in drafts, they failed to develop, and more importantly, they get out coached at the head coach level in January… You are playing a extremely bad football team!

I remember this Falcons team looking great one year during the preseason in Glanville’s tenure. They went 4-0. The city was behind them and then they won 4 games during the regular season. Just look at the preseason scores tonight. does anyone think Tampa Bay is better than New England?

Similar to the Braves, the Falcon optimists come in before the games are played- Blank shows up to sell us a new $1B stadium- which WE will pay for (parking, hot dogs, ticket prices, taxes), and the announcers are slobbering all over it. FYI- the Falcon commercials don’t compel me to buy tickets. We’ve been had- again.

So please dont do as you told Another Rick in earlier post. About telling us something or something to that nature.

No, “reason” says “observation” is different than wanting to be a GM… I can have a life and not sell my soul to the great Satan NFL… Shoot, Roger Jackson played in the NFL, scouted in the NFL, and still consults for multiple teams… He told me years ago when Dimitroff was hired what would happen… He hasn’t been wrong yet…
You refuse to see that Green Bay, the 49ers, New Orleans (love or hate ‘em), the Giants, and even Philly have reinvented themselves and their rosters twice in the time the Falcons stumbled and fumbled their way trying to get it right once… That is an indictment, not a point to support… “Higher standard” “indeed…” That is how you use a sports talk cliche…
