will Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 This week's SI lists Rodgers (GB), Clemens and Whitehurst (SD) as the three most interesting backups that a team might consider if it were looking for a potential starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetCane Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 not a bad move for the Falcons...Petrino is going to have his hands full I am very interested to see what Petrino is doing with the Falcons. He may be the guy who can get that franchise turned around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drago Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I am very interested to see what Petrino is doing with the Falcons. He may be the guy who can get that franchise turned around. He get there faster by trading Vick. The sooner they are rid of him the quicker they can use that defense to get to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vick doesnt pick up Petrino's offense, I'd bet they'd love to draft the qb from Louisville next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Norwood & Dunn at RB is a good combination but its time they bring in more of a bruiser whose younger and Michael Bush could be that man in Round 2, especially with his familiarity with Petrino. Atlanta will go as far as Michael Vick can take them, plain and simple. Does not matter who they bring in, they live or die with #7 and that is always a dangerous game to play. That defense is not good enough to carry them if he goes down and Harrington isn't ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
