Is our atmosphere as an organization just not as much of a winning one than the Saints? Will that change this year with the change of coordinators?

I think it's just a case of sour grapes. The Falcons organization essentially said he wasn't anything special to them.

I'm sure it's sour grapes. the Falcons don't try to be extremely intense in practice. where the saints have practices more intense than their games.

Spags is a great defensive coordinator and will get the most out of his guys without having to pay them bounties to do so.

I dont see how this is alarming...... First.. He hasnt practiced with the new DC Coach Nolan... He doesnt no his tempo.... BVG may have had a more laid back tempo.


Ive heard Lofton talk more this season then ive heard him talk 4 years here... Yo.. His feelings got hurt dealing with the way we value him.. Of course he is going to talk up his new place.....


This is not a big deal

Lofton can suck it. I like hearing this:

Moore: It's a totally different atmosphere out here. The defense is more aggressive. #atlotas


I love Nolan already!

I wouldn't put much stock into any of it, really. I've heard players say this kind of thing a lot...joining and leaving the Saints as well as other teams. Makes you look good for your new fans, gotta win over your new fans.

Good luck this season, fellas. Looking forward to the first meeting November 5th Very Happy

This is Lofton taking shots at us because of us not giving him the big deal he wanted. He probably felt that it was on the Falcons to give him what he wanted since he was one of the leaders on D.. just shows that we must have seen something in him, or seen something in someone else that made us not feel that he was worth giving a super deal...

yeah... there's rumor that Atlanta offered him a bigger deal than what New Orleans did...

He can say anything he wants. I would rather have him happy on another team than disgruntled on the Falcons. Let him say a few things and get the Falcons wired up. It just makes the meetings between the 2 teams more enjoyable to watch.

“I thought he was going to throw it, I jumped up, I kinda grazed him and quarterbacks are a little touchy when it comes to stuff like that,” Lofton said. “And then I was walking away and he gave me the look like… I was like, ‘He better not do that.’ And so he threw the ball, it bounced and then it hit me. I had to have words after that.

Laughing what a bunch of aggro thugs and babies. Lofton HAD to have words after the ball bounced off the ground and hit him
