Major Changes for the Atlanta Falcons

There are a lot of changes that have transpired since the Atlanta Falcons loss against the Miami Dolphins last Thursday.

Within one week, the falcons have cut 8 players from their roster, including one they recently signed this summer. Arthur Lynch, former University of Georgia standout and tight end, was signed by the Atlanta Falcons in mid July, and was waived by the Atlanta Falcons on August 27. Along with Lynch, offensive lineman Michael Huey, running back Gus Johnson, wide receiver Jordan Leslie, linebacker Ivan McLennan, quarterback Sean Renfree, cornerback Ryan White, and defensive lineman Brandon Williams were among the other players that have been waived by the Falcons. Sergio Brown (safety), was the only one to be released.

The Atlanta Falcons now stands at 75 players ready to be suited up for the last preseason game at the Georgia Dome against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

What exactly does this mean for the Atlanta Falcons in the regular season?

Lately, they have been preparing two of the most stellar players for what is to come. Julio Jones and Dwight Freeney sat out of practice on Sunday due to their injuries. With Jones' ankle and Freeney's back injury, these two need as much time away from the field right now until full recovery and can help bring the Falcons more wins this season.

So, the question is, what do we expect against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Thursday? A good game with great players. Hoping that Jones and Freeney are recovered enough to bring some extra skill to the table, the Falcons will be ready to take home their 3rd preseason win to lead to more regular season wins for Falcons fans.

Although the Falcons have gone under major changes these past few weeks that will affect them in the future, these are bringing positive changes to the Falcons franchise and will help bring more wins back home.

Stay tuned on September 1 on your local CW station for the Falcon's last preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Georgia Dome. Follow @KayDesiraye on Twitter for Falcons' news and live game updates.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
