Former Falcons Coach “Loved what Saints fans stood for”
Or Jones might find his normal gear for one or two big plays that change the game for the Falcons (5-0). “So you get exhausted of answering the questions, and yet I understand you asking”.
Jones said he felt fine after Sunday’s overtime win over the Washington Redskins – “I feel great now”, he told ESPN’s Josina Anderson in a postgame interview after receiving treatment on his hamstring – but sat out Monday’s walk-through. Here is a look at the Falcons vs. Saints week six Thursday Night Football game. Despite eight catches and a few trade rumors this season, White expects to remain in Atlanta and be a key part of the team’s plan this year.
Atlanta appears to have playmakers all over the field, which could spell trouble for a 1-4 Saints squad uncharacteristically struggling on offense. They have given up 409 yards and 28.6 points a game, which won’t beat many teams.
Schefter reports that the Falcons are uncertain if Jones will be able to play or not because of a hamstring injury.
The Saints played without left tackle Terron Armstead in their blowout loss to the Eagles last Sunday, but they may get him back in the mix for Thursday’s game against the Falcons. “I didn’t want to hurt the fans; I just wanted to win the game because I really loved what their fans stood for”.
On the season, the Falcons average 289.8 yards in passing and 113.5 yards in rushing. If the New Orleans defense can be physical with them and hold them in check, the team will have an excellent shot to win its second straight at home.
Glanville also spoke on the Saints 1991 playoff game against the Falcons and what it was like leaving the Superdome with a victory. With Drew Brees at quarterback, New Orleans put up a season-low 17 points in their loss to Philadelphia in Week 5, and are averaging just 20.6 points a game.
