Atlanta Falcons-New Owner

[JAREDMANN]

Greetings fellow General managers.

My name is Jared screen name JAREDMANN. I live in Leduc, Alberta, Canada

I prefer to be PM but my email is canadasfavoritebeerdrinker@hotmail.com

Say hello to the 2005 Atlanta Falcons
I have upgraded both my offence and defensive systems
I turned from a running team to a passing team by trading Vick and adding Green and a top of the line WR corps including Moulds.

On defence I created the top linebacker corps in the NFL with 2 Probowlers and and drafted another for the middle. Falcons only weakness was their one spot on the defensive tackle and that was filled by Pat Williams my top free agent pick-up.A totally re-done safety core is a major improvement while a corner was brought in to back-up.

Special teams remain solid i re-signed my Pro-bowl returner and my kicker.

Honestly my weakness ar in my defensive tackle, despite 2 awesome starters i have no legit backups which i felt could be fixed next year. I loaded my team with young draft picks as Moulds, Green and Porter are the only old vets brought in everyone else were young or draft picks.

I think I got the better of every trade I made and I had an unbelievable draft that could not have gone better.Thanks to all the GM's and I will be back next year.
