Title: Falcons In-season Report
Post by StegRock on Sep 15^th, 2005, 9:48pm

Doesn't merit a thread of its own, but it's worth starting one of these threads for... From "The REAL Feed":

Falcons' Mathis placed on IR (http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=nfl/news/ABN3979852.htm)
The Sports Network: NFL (15.09.2005 18:40)

Any fantasy impact here? Did he have any IDP value? I don't think it negatively impacts the Falcons from a Team D perspective at all.

I believe Mathis was a Situational DB...so not a huge loss...

Currently topping "The REAL Feed":

Vick misses practice, but says he believes he'll play (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=2168319&CMP=OTC-DT9705204233)

Vick misses practice, but says again he'll play by Len PasquarelliATLANTA -- Despite assessing himself as 85-90 percent recovered from a strained left hamstring, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick missed practice Wednesday, and was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Buf...

Here's another interesting take on Vick's hammy (scroll down just a bit):

http://fantasy.sportingnews.com/nfl/experts/rob-hurtt/20050920.html

From a fantasy perspective, this is the most interesting part:

"...but a leg injury for Vick is similar to a throwing arm injury for any other quarterback. He'll be less dangerous on the ground, and the Bills will have no problem slowing him in the air. "

Vick was listed as probable all of last week until Saturday, then downgraded to questionable on Saturdaym then did not dress on Sunday. VERY annoying for Vick owners and Schaub owners. Schaub would be a great play versus the Saints......... >:(

Plus, the NO pass rush isn't that great. I think that it is Schaub to Finneran this week.

The current "official" injury status of Vick... from "The REAL Feed":

Vick practices, still questionable (http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=nfl/news/ABN3984498.htm)

Regarding Vick's latest injury, sustained on Monday night... From "The REAL Feed":

Vick will be ready for Sunday's matchup (http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/ATL/9094125)
NFL.com (13.12.2005 20:27)

He still probably isn't a good play outside in the cold [smiley=cold.gif] against Urlacher, who's had much success stopping Vick, and the Bears.

Perhaps this is important to IDP leaguers... because I don't think anybody should be even considering playing the Falcons in a Team D/ST format. From "The REAL Feed":
