OWENSVILLE, MO-As you may know, the Atlanta Falcons have had a terrible season so far. They are 3-10 through the first 13 games of the season. Their season of disappointment has consisted of injuries and stars not living up to their potential.
So far this year,
Roddy White, Julio Jones, Sean Weatherspoon, and Tony Gonzalez have sustained
key injuries. On the defensive side of the ball, they possess plenty of talent;
enough to be a top notch defence in the NFL. With Osi Umenyiora, Sean Weatherspoon,
Asante Samuel, William Moore and William Worrlilow as their top defensive
players, only Moore and Worrilow have came out and played at a high level. On
the offensive side of the ball, they are able to pass at a high level, but they
can not run the ball very well. They thought signing Steven Jackson in the
offsmason, they would give then a chance to run the ball,too. That could not
happen because of the injuries to Julio Jones (out for season), Roddy White
playing injured, and Tony Gonzalez (toe) in the passing game.
They are 30th in the league in rushing yards per game and
opponent rushing yards a game. There defense is not good enough to win games
when their offense does not produce teams at the level of like the Carolina
Panthers, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks.
Next
year for the Falcons could be special. If Tony Gonzalez does not retire, they
could potentially win plenty of games and possibly even go to the Super Bowl.
They will have all of their players back from injuries and most likely a top
five pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. With their Stars on Offense and
play-makers on defense, Atlanta Falcons could become one of the greatest teams
in the NFL.
