With the absolutely gut-wrenching passing of Hank Aaron today, baseball fans are still in mourning everywhere. There is no replacing Aaron’s impact on society and sports as a whole, but with Major League Baseball recently including stats from the past — an interesting thread popped up surrounding Hammerin’ Hank. There's a very simple reason
I wrote last Friday about how frustratingly unlucky the Hawks have been with injuries, and while guys like Onyeka Okongwu, Tony Snell, Rajon Rondo, and Clint Capela have managed to get back into action, there is still a laundry list of names that Atlanta needs to return. Even with a few steps forward, the Hawks were forced to play without De’Andre
In my opinion, this was one of the most important hires of the offseason. I think Arthur Smith nailed it. The #Falcons are expected to hire Louisville OC Dwayne Ledford as their offensive line coach, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Ledford, a former NFL center, got into coaching in 2005 at North Carolina … where
As I correctly predicted when Charles London was hired as Atlanta’s quarterbacks coach, Arthur Smith has made a flurry of hires today: The #Falcons staff is taking shape. Under coach Arthur Smith, Atlanta is expected to hire veteran defensive coordinator Dean Pees out of retirement, sources say, and they are working toward hiring Dave Ragone
If you missed my report earlier today — apparently, Atlanta is making a serious push to sign JT Realmuto. However, what if that’s not all the Braves are planning on? For the past few years, we’ve been waiting for Alex Anthopoulos to pull the trigger on a blockbuster deal, but he has remained patient. That could change
Although a lot of names were cut from Atlanta’s staff yesterday, Interim Defensive Coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was not among them. Fans were wondering if he would be retained, but he has joined Robert Saleh’s staff in New York. Jeff Ulbrich, as mentioned there, will be DC and will call plays on Defense for the
Shortly after Marquice Williams was reportedly named Special Teams Coordinator, the Falcons may have their Quarterbacks Coach — a Dunwoody native. The #Falcons are expected to hire Charles London as their quarterbacks coach, source said. A notable title for London, who has coached running backs the past nine years with Penn State, the #Texans and
With a slew of coaches being let go tomorrow headlined by Dirk Koetter, Arthur Smith is starting to bring his staff together. The #Falcons are expected to hire Marquice Williams as their special teams coordinator, source said. Williams spent the past two seasons as the assistant with the #Lions. — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) January 21,
Hopefully, Atlanta trades down in the 2021 NFL draft, and if you checked out my last mock, I’m perfectly fine with moving out of the Top 20 altogether. While six picks is a pretty big range, it provides a lot of options for Atlanta. I think the Broncos are one of the first logical partners to
I don’t really think Alex Anthopoulos lets a lot of stuff like this out, so while I’m skeptical and surprised, this is a signing I wouldn’t be mad about whatsoever: Braves circling on free-agent catcher J.T. Realmuto, according to league sources. Other teams on the west coast are expressing interest. — Robert Murray (@ByRobertMurray) January
