    Falcons rookie Chris Owens nailed down the starting left cornerback job against Philadelphia with a strong effort against Tampa Bay. "I thought he did very well," Smith said. The Falcons played all four cornerbacks but when Tye Hill and Brent Grimes were on the field, the Bucs moved the ball through the air. Hill was beaten in coverage on Antonio Bryant's 42-yard touchdown pbutt. "We wanted to get guys in and rotate them," coach Mike Smith said. "After getting the four guys through the rotation, we wanted to stick with Chris Houston and Christopher Owens."

    I like the news. I fully expect Donny making him the prime target for the game.

    He gets a boost with Jackson likely put

    IDK who is gonna start oppisite Maclin. It would seem Avant, but I also think it might be wise to keep him in the slot and play Curtis, despite the fact he has done nothing this year
