I just emailed Demaryius Thomas position coach while he was at West Laurens High School - Jeff Clayton.
He tells me that the rumors are true. The former Georgia Tech and Broncos receiver has passed away at the age of 33.
One last thought from today:
Buffalo Bills fans are without a doubt the nicest, passionate fan base I’ve ever encountered. Extremely kind and the most die hards for their team I’ve ever seen in the NFL.
Salute

The 2018 Braves were extremely fun for being a pleasant surprise - our first taste of being good after a rebuild
The 2019 Braves were arguably one of the best teams of the divisional run era
The 2020 Braves were one step away from the World Series
The 2021 Braves won the

Proud of our city.
"We've been in the top 10 one time out of the last 20 years. That bulls*** over....I'm tired of this crap, we're gonna change the culture of this defense around this frickin' place."
Take a listen to
#Falcons
defensive coordinator Dean Pees post practice today. Wow
The Atlanta Braves lost their league MVP last year
They lost their franchise SS this past offseason
They traded away their all star catcher this past offseason
They are without their 2 best pitchers…
And yet, they’re currently the best team in baseball with no signs of

-The best pre All-Star Break record in team history

Pretty crazy how many future HC's & future coordinators were all coaching together that year.

This has become such a lazy take.

This team has gotten exponentially better this off-season and they *still* have the 8th overall pick.
So far,
#Falcons
1st round pick
@DrakeLondon_
has been looking like the real deal.
No. 5 uses his 6'4 frame to get up and over Dee Alford in the end zone. Alford made a great play to end the day to make up for it.
Would be hilarious during the All-Star game if we got an inning of:
C: Sean Murphy

CF: Orlando Arcia (why not)

"Same ****, different year."
Grady Jarrett understandably frustrated after today's loss to the Ravens which, combined with the Panthers win against the Lions, eliminated the
#Falcons
from postseason contention.
I’m so sick of this narrative that because the
#Falcons
aren’t going after Lamar Jackson they “don’t care about winning”
Just tell me you don’t pay attention to the rest of the roster and think that 1 QB solves all problems.
This season Jessie Bates III has:
-4 interceptions (career high)
-3 forced fumbles (career high)
-85 total tackles (14 more than last year)
Been worth every penny in the
#Falcons
secondary.

VIDEO: We heard that Bijan Robinson wasn't feeling well.
He told us postgame he was dealing with a bad headache. Arthur Smith didn't want to test it. Said he was feeling it last night as well.
Argue semantics all you want.
Georgia and Florida State both had valid arguments to be in the CFB Playoff. Both responded to that news completely different.
Kirby Smart has built a hell of a culture at UGA. This game is a testament to that.
Calvin Ridley gives a shoutout to Matt Ryan when discussing his current chemistry with Trevor Lawrence.
Adds that his work with Matt set the tone for how he performs now.
I distinctly remember Trae Young nearly single-handedly:
-Become the mayor of New York City
-Ending “The Process”
-Taking his team to the Eastern Conference Finals before Luka won a playoff series but go off
Here’s how the last few
#Falcons
QBs stack up against each other after their first 6 NFL starts:
Matt Ryan
1,164 passing yards
5 TDs
3 INTs
4-2 record
Desmond Ridder
1,060 passing yards
4 TDs
1 INT
4-2 record
Michael Vick
891 passing yards
4 TDs
3 INTs
1-5 record
This new “Welcome to Atlanta” sign in the UGA locker room is absolutely hilarious.
That would be like Notre Dame having a sign in their locker room saying “Welcome to Chicago”
This is just straight up copying
@CoachCollins
and
@GeorgiaTechFB
Falcons win. We’ve got a lot to talk about.
-Desmond Ridder legacy drive at the end?
-Arthur Smith with the gutsy call on 4th down
-Bijan over 100 yards
-Drake TD
This is a game the

typically lose the last 2 years. They won. Let’s talk about it right now on

is on the Georgia Tech sideline right now. Joe Anoa'i was a standout defensive lineman for the Jackets during the Chan Gailey years.
De’Andre Hunter: hurt
Cam Reddish: hurt
Trae Young: hurt
Clint Capela: potentially hurt
Miss me with all this. The
#Hawks
have been one of the most imjured teams in the NBA
A reminder for some impatient folks out there:
-The 2022
#Falcons
have the largest dead cap hit in NFL HISTORY
-Only 2 of their losses all year have been decided by more than 1 TD
-Their QB1, RB1, WR1, LB1 are ALL rookies
-This team will have $74 million to spend this offseason

, here’s how Julio Jones and Kyle Pitts compare

I’m telling y’all, I’ve spoken to multiple players who played with Matt who have all told me his work with the
#Falcons
was under appreciated by alot of fans.
Excited to see who the next QB will be in Atlanta but grateful for No. 2’s years in the 404
Barring a crazy 4th quarter comeback, here will be the

2018: 7-9
I truly don’t understand some of the disdain in the
#Falcons
fan base for Ridder.
Didn’t get the chance to start until the final 4 games — he improved in every single one. He learned for a year in Arthur Smith’s system, now has a much much better team around him.
Current NFL Draft Order
1. Bears (6-9)
2. Cardinals (3-12)
4. Commanders (4-12)

lost to 4 out of 5 of these teams.
I've noticed the
@18franks
hive has been buzzing lately. While I don't have the shot of him trucking Teez Tabor today, I have gotten quite a few plays of him on special teams and tight end.
The former QB is definitely turning some heads in camp.👀
