V-Tech-Falcons Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Vick my fave by far. Everyone said he was the most exciting player in the game, probably ever, maybe except for Barry Sanders, but he was a RB.Nowadays, I have to say Jeezy Norwood.Tuggle was a beast too, resembling that of Chuck Norris.

falconfansince66 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 V-Tech-Falcons (6/28/2008)Vick my fave by far. Everyone said he was the most exciting player in the game, probably ever, maybe except for Barry Sanders, but he was a RB.Nowadays, I have to say Jeezy Norwood.Tuggle was a beast too, resembling that of Chuck Norris. Vick was exciting to watch I will admit that. Barry Sanders was exciting as was Walter Payton in his prime. Neither was on a winning team except the one year the Bears went on to win it all. It's too bad Sanders never got to experience that. Another Falcon that was fun to watch was the ol' "Cannonball Butler". Not that he contributed a whole lot at RB but because he seemed to never know when he was tackled. He'd be laying on his back and still pumping his legs! It was pretty entertaining...

ancient raptor Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Claude Humphrey, Mr Nobis, Norm Van Broklin giving nicknames to players such asd "Skunky" and "Muley". If you are speaking of good memories from the playing field, and ignoring events that occured away from it, then I will suggest you add Harmon Wages (set the early Falcon record for longest run from scrimmage), and William Andrews.

Fan7 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Farmer (6/4/2008)Just wanted to talk about something positive. So who are your favorite Falcons past and present? I'll list mine, keep in mind I'm 28, so I'm not familiar with the early Falcons. I wish I was. I would love to see Nobis play, and be able to watch the Gritz Blitz just kill oposing QB's. Anyway, here's my list in no particular order.1. Tim Dwight - He will always be my favorite Falcon ever. The guy played with reckless abandonment everytime he touched the ball. The guy was lightening fast, but I loved it when he put his head down and run into a guy full speed. 2. Keith Brooking - Mr. Falcon3. Terrance Mathis - Most sure handed WR I've seen in a Falcon's uni.4. Jessie Tuggle - The Hammer, enough said. I'm hoping Loften turns out to be Tuggle v 2.0.5. Jamal Anderson - Best running back I've ever seen in a Falcon's uni.6. Deion Sanders - I hated his attitude off the field, but **** that guy could shut down half a football field by himself. 7. Warrick Dunn - Classiest professional athlete I've ever seen.8. Alge Crumpler - Only guy who could consistently catch Vick's ball. 9. Morten Anderson - Never doubted this guy on any kick.10. Bob Chirstian - Guy was a beast of a FB, both blocking and carrying the ball.11. Patrick Kerney - I love the high motor guys. 12. Scott Case - Laying the wood.13. Chris Chandler - Got us to the superbowlHonorable Mention: Michael Vick (pre 2007) - Most exciting player I've ever watched, even though he's an idiot. So, what do you think of my list, who would you add/take off? Who are your favorites? White Shoes, Crump, Bart, Duckett (powerhouse), Vick and Kearney.

Farmer Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 I still say Tim Dwight was more exciting to watch than even Vick. With Dwight, I wasn't going into cardiac arrest worrying that he may fumble. Plus with Dwight, just when you thought he'd juke some guy, he'd lower his head at full speed and blow the guy up.

DemonicFalcon Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 No doubt about it...Jessie Tuggle. I loved his tough play and his loyalty to the team. William Andrews and Terrence Mathis are a couple of my faves too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol'_dirty2 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 If I were just a recent fan, I'd say Vick. He's high on my list. But at 34, I can remember William Andrews just punishing defenders. I mean running them flat over!!! He's tops on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

putnam6 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 doc17mo (6/27/2008)cutshot (6/27/2008)Mike Kenn-The best OT in Falcon history.Todd Weiner, Bob Whitfield, Jamie Dukes, Lincoln Kennedy and Jeff Van Note may have a problem with that statement to name a few. They shouldn't Mike Kenn was the best tackle in Falcons History. **** I know Van Note would agree after playing with him so many years.

LOUISVILLEfan Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Wild Bill (6/30/2008)LYNN CAIN Dude, I used to be a professional racquetball player and I'd play in the pro ams at the Falcon Complex in Suwanee every year. Don't remember which year it was, probably around '86 or '87 and I played against Cain in the 'Open' division and he waxed my azz. Dude was freakishly athletic. He looked like a scat back on TV and a freight train in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcndave Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 My boyhood hero was Steve Bartkowski. After I got to shake Jeff Van Note's hand at a banquet for my rec. center team when I was about 13, he became my 2nd favorite. That man had fingers like tree trunks!BartkowskiVan NoteWilliam AndrewsJessie Tuggleand the Alfreds (Jenkins and Jackson) are my top 5. Jenkins had about 1300 yards and 13 (receiving)TD's in 1981 (tops in the league). Those were big numbers for that era...especially in ATL. The amazing thing was William Andrews had 11 more catches than Jenkins did that year. Andrews was 4th in the NFL in catches from the running back slot. William ended the season with 2000 total yards from scrimmage. What a great year. Funny thing all my favorites except Tuggle are from that era huh?

egoprime Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 doc17mo (6/27/2008)cutshot (6/27/2008)Mike Kenn-The best OT in Falcon history.Todd Weiner, Bob Whitfield, Jamie Dukes, Lincoln Kennedy and Jeff Van Note may have a problem with that statement to name a few.Kenn was widely acknowledged in NFL circles as being one of the top OTs in the NFL. Kenn went to multiple Pro Bowls and even when he got older Kenn was still a great OT. And he played the left side against some of the true legends in the NFL like Reggie White and Lawrence Taylor. Taylor once said he absolutely hated playing versus Kenn.Kennedy was drafted as an RT and while he was a good player, he was never a great one, not even with the Raiders, parly because of his knees. Whitfield had major concentration problems...two of Vicks worse injuries came when Whitfield ole'-ed his man like a matador does in bull fighting. Bob was good, but Kenn was great.Weiner is good for an RT, but thats about it. Van Note and Dukes were always centers, not LTs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
