Only one team can call the Georgia Dome their nest and that’s the Atlanta Falcons. The Dirty Birds dominated the Arizona Cardinals with defense as the beat them 32 – 10. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall had 1 interception; linebacker Michael Boley had 1 interception and 1 sack; defensive end Patrick Kerney had 3 sacks, and linebacker Demorrio Williams had 10 tackles, with 7 being solo. Overall, the defense played great.
The offense also played okay considering they’re still working out some clinks. Quarterback Michael Vick went 13 of 22 for 153 yards and 1 interception, and rushed for 101 yards. Rookie speedster running back Jerious Norwood rushed for 106 yards and 1 touchdown. His loan touchdown was a 78 yard sprint to the outside. Son is fast. Warrick Dunn for 59 yards and kept the chains moving. The wide receivers are starting to catch the ball. Ashley Lelie had 2 receptions for 61 yards, Alge Crumpler had 2 receptions for 30 yards, Michael Jenkins 3 receptions for 28 yards, and Roddy “Rowdy” White had 4 receptions for 26 yards.
The game ball goes to the special teams unit. “The Ageless Wonder” Morton Anderson kicked 5 field goals and Michael Koenen kicked 1 field goal. The Falcons must learn to score touchdown. Six field goals are cool, but six touchdowns are better. Great teams score touchdowns and don’t settle for field goals. Falcons – work your red zone magic.
Next Week: Bye
