Falcons coach Mike Smith shared that the coaching staff has been evaluating the potential free agent class. Later in the month, they’ll switch gears to the combine. D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Jounal-Constitution asked him about Carolina’s Julius Peppers and if the Falcons were interested. “Until free agency opens on March 5th, we can’t talk about other players.” Smith said.

IIRC, Anderson has played DT the last couple of games this season. He looked pretty good.

Secondary killed us numerous times this year, I like what Grimes has turned into, but I want to see more, and I would like us to get a bona fide corner and let the rest compete for the 2nd and 3rd spots.

Whats going on with Chris Houston.

Very polarized prospect in our circles when we were wanting a CB in 2007

He's been on/off, I like the potential with all our corners, I just want to see more. This is a team that can win now, and the only thing holding them back is an inconsistent secondary (Along with inconsistent QB play), one of them needs to emerge as a shutdown-caliber CB for us to be serious contenders.
