I’m no football prognosticator and I’m a few days late, but here are my (very) brief notes from Friday’s exhibition against the New England Patriots.

Koenen: Thumbs Up.
I wonder about the effectiveness of a kicking triple threat, but for this game, Koenen proved his mettle.

Run Defense: Thumbs Down.
THIS is the product of bringing in John Abraham?

Receivers: Even.
Let’s see what happens when Vick plays an entire game.

Like I said, terse commentary from a somewhat-interested party.

How do you think the Falcons performed? They got a win at least (Thank you, DJ Shockley and Koenen).

Does the preseason mean anything for the Falcons, or will the lose of Finneran and the absence of Crumpler (in the short term) hamper this team?

Comment!
