Falcons

So it seems the falcons truly are going to pull a Miami Dolphins this off-season and clean house with their release of 7 players, most notably 4 time pro bowl player Alge Crumpler, who at one point was considered to be one of the best tight ends in the game, and as of last year was being paid like one, with the 2nd highest salary of all te's in the league at over 4.7 million dollars per year. Crumpler is only 30 however and most likely has at least 3 years of solid service left in his body and should be a pretty hot commodity come the  march free agency period. Yet if we go back and look at the falcons of last year it is obvious that something drastic needed to be done. They were atrociously bad and it seemed as if most of the veterns had quit long before petrino quit on them. The one main question i can think of for the falcons is whether or not deangelo hall in or not because he is a shutdown corner with pro bowl potential for the next 10 years. This is a kid that they will need for the future, and they need to convince him to buy back into the team of they will really have to start completely all over. He is without a doubt a top 5 corner back in the league and he is only 24 or 25.

Needs: Qb, RB, TE, a new oline, DT, DE, OLB, K, S...basically they have needs everywhere except really cornerback... so they need to keep him- However it does seem that Roddy White has figured out how to be a productive wr in this league...so maybe if they can get him some help they wont be as screwed as before... Rb is up in the air as some seem to think that Norwood can handle the load, while others do not. What is clear is that Warrick Dunn's best years are way behind him and that something has to be done to that position...either by giving it to Norwood, or by bringing in someone else who will be given the bulk of the carries. Atlanta is a mess and with Mike Vick Killing dogs...it doesn't seem like Atlanta has anything to look forward to until Baseball season starts
