atljbo Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 D. Hall and Smith make peaceBy D. Orlando Ledbetter | Sunday, February 24, 2008, 04:01 PMThe Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionIndianapolis A group off 18 media teams members of the Pro Football Writers of Association watched the second group of wide receivers and quarterbacks workout at the combine in the RCA Dome Sunday. Most were disappointed that Boston College quarterback and potential Falcons draft pick Matt Ryan did not participate. Stunningly, Kentucky s Andre Woodson also did not throw. Woodson had a rough time at the Senior Bowl and is dropping out of the first round on several draft boards. Here s the group of QB s who threw and went through the drills: Anthony Morelli, Penn State; Sam Keller, Nebraska; Kyle Wright, Miami; Bernard Morris, Marshall; Paul Smith,Tulsa; Kevin O Connell, San Diego State; Thomas Ostrander, Stanford; and Adam Tafralis, San Jose State. Former Falcons offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, now with Oakland, put the quarterbacks through their drills, while Philadelphia receivers coach David Culley worked with the receivers. Smith threw a pretty deep ball, while Tafralis had some nice zip on his passes. Keller was wild on a couple his passes. Kentucky s Steve Johnson and Arkansas s Marcus Monk were the class of the receiver group. Coastal Carolina s Jerome Simpson had a few dropped passes. But some scout overlook some mistakes from the small school players and attribute them to nerves of playing on a big stage for the first time.HALL AND SMITH SEEN HUDDLED UP IN PEACE TALKS Falcons head coach Mike Smith and embattled cornerback DeAngelo Hall met Sunday morning. The two were seen sitting side-by-side in deep discussion over the cornerback s future. After the public trade demand by Hall and Smith s comments that followed, both sides wanted the dust to settle and were not ready to comment about their talk.

Eric Obraiden Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I wonder if the talk was more like shut the **** up and we can move you and you'll get a huge deal, or keep talking come across like a cancer and we'll make you sit on our roster for shi T!

falconfoozball Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 atljbo HALL AND SMITH SEEN HUDDLED UP IN PEACE TALKS Falcons head coach Mike Smith and embattled cornerback DeAngelo Hall met Sunday morning. The two were seen sitting side-by-side in deep discussion over the cornerback s future. After the public trade demand by Hall and Smith s comments that followed, both sides wanted the dust to settle and were not ready to comment about their talk.I hope they work it out, but I'm a little confused about who would have the final call. Smith could influence TD but at the end of the day, isn't it Thomas' call? If the Coach can convince Hall he is wanted and would be valued here, then maybe they can work it out. Only way I'd want that for sure, though, is if they structured the extension so it doesn't break the cap, and he can't still walk next year anyway. Which I don't think that's what he originally wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoon Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 they maybe was talking in terms of him staying,which would be great because the last thing we need is another hole to fill.at least this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasbirdfan Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 good to see we got a coach with some diplomatic tendencies.I thought Keller would be a great sleeper, I guess he didn't shine too well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Affonso Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 What do you guys expect? Smith is not Bobby Petrino, and he actually talks to his players. I still expect D. Hall to be on the move as soon as trading is allowed to happen again. I wonder if we have already worked out a deal with someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
