Is this a make-or-break season for Buccaneers' Rachaad White?

What kind of a year can Bucs' fans expect from Rachaad White?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers' running back Rachaad White will be entering his third season in the NFL.

Falcons training camp 2024 Day 2 recap and notes: Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix have their way

Falcons training camp 2024 Day 2 recap and notes: Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix have their way

We got our first real live action in what was a day of heavy 11 on 11s, and it was the two quarterbacks who shined.

With the threat of rain subsiding a bit and the sun frequently peering through the cloud cover over Flower Branch, we got a more traditional kickoff time of 9:30 a.m. for practice this morning, and the team absolutely hit the ground running already taking the first snap of walkthroughs the second that time marker hit.

While Day 1 was heavy on walkthroughs, that was only about a 10-minute portion of practice at the very beginning...

The Falcons have their chance to be 2024’s comeback franchise

Bogged down by the weight of their own mistakes and poor luck, Atlanta can be the team to get right this season.

A team coming off six straight losing seasons under two head coaches. A new head coach who was briefly an interim for that same team, but was passed over in favor of the man he just replaced. Three top ten picks on offense who have, to varying degrees and over different timescales, seen their production limited by injuries and scheme. A well-respected defensive star returning from a major injury. A front office, a coaching staff, and even an...
