| O-LINE FEELING A LITTLE FRISKY:
Although second-year player Quinn Ojinnaka will make his first start at left tackle for the Falcons this weekend -it's the third change at left tackle this season -Atlanta's offensive linemen feel the team will finally be able to establish the run vs. San Francisco Sunday. An emphasis has been put on establishing the run to set up the play-action pass, according to some players. Though they would not reveal what they've seen in the 49ers defense, there is optimism that the Falcons front can get some push and create seams for Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood to exploit. San Francisco uses a 3-4 front, which the Falcons don't see much, and they boast a super-stud at middle linebacker, Patrick Willis. Willis is among the NFL's top tacklers and is a leading candidate to be the defensive rookie of the year. As for the usage at running backs, Norwood said things have been set up for him to get more touches but he did not say if that meant more carries or receptions. In other developments, the Falcons signed Tim Anderson to back up Trey Lewis at nose tackle. Anderson likely will take the place of injured backup nose tackle Montavious Stanley (knee). Anderson was cut two weeks ago by Buffalo, where he spent the past four seasons and started 17 games. There seems to be an attraction to former Bills players as Anderson is the third player the Falcons have signed this season from Buffalo. Deep snapper Mike Schneck and tackle Terrance Pennington are the others. |

| Let it never be said that the NFL doesn't appreciate a good storyline.
In a re-match of last season's NFC Championship game, the Falcons will play host to the Eagles for their respective season openers in the first Monday Night Football game of 2005. The Eagles won the NFC title last January in Philadelphia, defeating the Falcons 27-10. The September 12 prime time contest will mark the fourth consecutive year in which the Falcons and Eagles have met, and the second trip the Eagles have made to the Georgia Dome in the past three seasons. The announcement came on the heels of the NFL releasing the schedule for its 2005 Kickoff Weekend, which will begin when the Super Bowl XXXIX champion New England Patriots host the Oakland Raiders on Thursday, September 8 at 9 p.m. ET. The NFL's other nationally-televised contests for the NFL's opening weekend will be the Dallas Cowboys at the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, September 11 at 4:15 p.m. ET on FOX, and then later that night when the Indianapolis Colts visit the Baltimore Ravens at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. The Falcons and Eagles will round out the NFL's opening weekend with their contest on Monday night at 9 p.m. ET. It will be the Falcons 25th appearance on Monday Night Football in franchise history, and their first since the 2003 season. The Falcons own a 9-11-1 all-time regular season record against the Eagles. This is a list of related Falcons football events including games in the Atlanta area, and other NFL football teams.
