Exciting July on the horizon for the Atlanta Falcons

With the Atlanta Falcons playing in this years 2019 Hall of Fame game, June will be the last month of the off-season as the Falcons will start training camp around July 16th.

To say this off-season has been an important one for the Atlanta Falcons would be an understatement. Much needed additions, great draft picks and resigning of key players give way to the excitement of July’s training camp.

From the time that 2019 rolled in, Falcons owner Arthur Blank has been very vocal about the expectations for this season. He has publicly stated that if 2019 is a repeat of the last couple seasons, that people will be out of work. That was music to our ears, though this type of pressure should have been applied much earlier. One is left to assume that Atlanta United winning the MLS Cup has really magnified the Falcons lack of a championship.

Growing up in Southern California, we had a saying “May Gray, June Gloom”. The good news that May Gray, June Gloom will give birth to a July where we will have a chance to see a healthy Devonta Freeman, Deion Jones, Keanu Neal and Robert Alford. July will give us a chance to see Chris Lindstrom and Kaleb McGary show Atlanta why they drafted those two talented offensive linemen in the first round.

July will give Falcons nation a chance to see Dan Quinn shape this ridiculously talented defense into what it should be. July will give Falcons nation a chance to see Dirk Koetter bring the magic to a potent Falcons offense that will be led by five former first round offensive lineman.

This off season has had it moments of May Gray and June Gloom, but there is reason to be excited to have training camp right around the corner, followed by an opportunity to celebrate Tony Gonzalez one more time. Football is right around the corner!
