Atlanta Falcons News: Who will be the backup quarterback?
Who will be the Atlanta Falcons backup quarterback behind Matt Ryan, and is the offensive line better this season than last? That and more in the Dirty Bird Daily for Monday.
Seven weeks from now, we’ll be in Week 1 of the regular season. Let that sink in. Good morning, Falcons fans and welcome to the Dirty Bird Daily for a brand new week. It’s Monday, but we’re now a week closer to the start of the regular season.
The Falcons’ opener is just 55 days away, which brings me onto the “Falcons 50”. Just like last year, we’ll be counting down the final 50 days before kickoff right here at Blogging Dirty. We will be posting articles each day in the run-up to kickoff, each apart of its own ‘mini series’. Check out the “Falcons 50” homepage from last year to get an idea of what you can expect.
Like last time, this year’s “Falcons 50” will begin with a countdown of the Falcons’ five biggest games of the upcoming season. This will begin on Saturday morning.
Let’s get started with the Dirty Bird Daily. As you sip your coffee this fine Monday morning, enjoy these Falcons articles from around the internet.
