Vivlamore reporting from Flowery Branch.
Just a quick note - for those interested – before Falcons practice Wednesday as there are several number changes to report.
Wide receiver Kevin Cone will now wear No. 15 as he gave No. 12 to new backup quarterback Luke McCown.
“He’s the veteran,” Cone said of giving up his number. “I did make him sweat a little first.”
No. 3 quarterback Dominique Davis will now wear No. 4 after dressing as No. 14.
As previously reported, safety Chris Hope switched to No. 24.

You know you’re low on the totem pole when you are giving up your number to Luke McCown

Damn! I thought they would retire #4 for Dan Strzynski and #12 for Chris Miller or #15 for the great Eugene Baker.

So glad we got these new backup quaterbacks….yep, THAT was surely a big big missing link to this team. Now, obviously, we are ready for that super bowl run.

Here’s hoping the Falcons change their name to ‘NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons’

Since he completed that deal, is there anyway this could help his completion %. He could use te help since he never complete much of his passes.

I like it when Vivlamore writes. Dude has a little bit of a chip on his shoulder and isn’t afraid to get a little nasty with bloggers after negative comments. Keep up the good work!

That number has been permanently stained, you can’t get it clean. Forget ever seeing it on any Falcon players……….EVER.

I think he meant “first, but who cares” as in he was 1st to post but since it has been done to death….not as a slight against the article. Just my thought.

Kinda liked Davis having 14….don’t know why….just looked good on him. But, 4 it is…
And Cone should have kept his number….McClown won’t be here NEAR as long as he will…
