swiftkick Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Veterans John Abraham and Michael Boley took time out to attend the news conference and meet with their new head coach.That's a good sign for not only Smith but the entire Falcons organization as veteran-coach relations had been fractured during Petrino's time with the franchise, which helped lead to an unstable locker room and poor on-field performance."Expectations of him coming in here, I have high expectations," Boley said. "I'm really looking forward to trying to get things turned around here." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodstockfan Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 That was good to hear! I believe it is important for Smith to establish a rapport with the vets on the team and start rebuilding the morale. I was very encouraged to hear Boley's comments. It certainly sounds like he plans on being back next year. A very high priority should be to get Boley signed up long term as he was a very bright spot in last year's dismal season.
