Ask A Falcons Fan: The Falcoholic Here To Take Your Questions

For a limited time only, you can ask those burning questions that you've never before thought to ask about the Falcons.

You say you have none? Ouch.

Then feel free to ask any Falcon-related question you've got. I'm looking forward to playing a real football team outside of the NFC South, so I'll be more than glad to answer anything you guys have. We'll see you for the game.

Do you guys consider Jamaal Anderson a bust yet?

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

My hard-and-fast rule

Is that a guy needs two or three seasons under his belt to be called a bust, so I can’t say I think he’s a complete bust yet.

That said, we invested—or sunk—a Top 10 draft pick into a guy who doesn’t have a single sack to his name after 1.25 seasons. It’s extremely likely the team will seek his replacement after this season if he doesn’t ship up, and at that point I’m comfortable putting the label on him.

How come more people don't talk about Michael Boley?

Boley flies under the radar

Because the Falcons fly under the radar.

If you ask me, he’s one of the best five linebackers in football. He simply does everything well, a slow start this season notwithstanding. It may take a couple more Pro Bowl berths and me writing about him twice a week, but gosh darn it, we’ll get people to talk about him?

What do you think of Scouts Inc

Saying that the Falcons have the advantage at the quarterback position in this game? Since Rodgers is expected to play, I’m not sure what to make of that.

Easy

Scouts Inc. expects either Matt Flynn to play or Aaron Rodgers to play through a shoulder injury, which will limit his effectiveness. Matt Ryan, meanwhile, will have talented first round pick Sam Baker back to protect his blindside and is healthy.

I’m not saying I agree—because I don’t—but I think that’s why.

Give me an assessment of the Falcons current popularity

within the Atlanta market.

They're reasonably popular

In a market not known for a wide base of dedicated fans. They’re suffering right now because Vick’s gone and they’re not very good, but I think within a year or tow people will be on the bandwagon.

What early impression do you have of Mike Smith?

And, if the Packers stop Roddy White and hold Michael Turner relatively at bay, do you guys have any other offensive weapons? I say this because White has 322 of 422 yards through the air

I untuck my shirt!

We have a few

The big one is Jerious Norwood, an explosive running back who can rack up yardage very quickly. Through the air, the Falcons will have to depend on tall, not-so-great receiver Michael Jenkins and quick rookie Harry Douglas.

In other words, not a lot.

What are your early impressions of Matt Ryan?

Is he everything that a high pick should be? Franchise type of guy? So far I’ve been impressed in every other game that has been played, just wondering your take..

Believe...

He's doing well

Ryan’s about where he should be, developmentally. If he can get his happy feet under control, he’ll start to make real strides towards putting up big numbers.
