The Atlanta Falcons Don't Need To Rebuild, It's Already Done

The Hotlanta Falcons are back and it's not by mistake.  They sit atop of their division with a 4-2 record and are actually in a three-way tie with Tampa Bay and North Carolina.

The Falcons have been rebuilding since 2006 and now they can say that they are done.  Many of you might disagree, but look at their team.

They have their QB of the future in Matt Ryan who has so much potential that he may some day end up being one of the greatest tossers ever seen in the NFL, he may not be a part of the NFL's Elite right now but he's slowly building his resume.  

Roddy White is proving he can be an amazing WR if he has someone good throwing to him, he has the 2nd most receiving yards in the league with 556 yards behind Greg Jennings, and he has three TD's.  Look for this to be a career year for White as Matt Ryan considers him his go-to-guy, maybe he'll make it to the Pro Bowl which might not be a stretch considering all the other receivers in the league are having QB issues such as Owens, Ocho-Cinco, Moss, Edwards, etc.

Michael "Burner" Turner has finally found a starting job in the NFL after backing up L.T. for his entire career, and with the chance he's received he's making the most of it.  He's second in the league with 597 rushing yards and second in the league with 6 rushing TD's with .  That's roughly 100 rushing yards a game if you want to look at it like that.  He will definitely be a candidate for the NFL's top rusher, and if he keeps running the way he is, he'll be starting in Hawaii.

The defense will the only "weak" spot on this Falcons team, they're averaging 21 points to each team they've played.  In order for them to truly stick out amongst their competition is if they can step it up and allow fewer points.  Come on Detroit scored 24 points on them, if they can step it up here they will be feared in the league.

This team has been so tainted by Vick and Mora Jr. that it's about time something positive has happened here.  Good luck Atlanta you'll need it the rest of the way, after the bye-week their schedule is unforgiving as they face New Orleans twice, San Diego, Carolina, and Denver.

Welcome back Hotlanta.  We all expect big things.
