Atlanta Falcons Work Out Three Free Agent Wide Recievers

The Falcoholic has reported, based off a tweet from Saints beat writer, Larry Holder, that the Falcons are reportedly working out three free agent wide receivers in lieu of their 23-17 loss to New Orleans last week.

Roddy White has stated that he will need at least three more weeks before he can be his old self
again.

While Harry Douglas had an outstanding game last week, (4 catches, 93 yards) it appears that the Falcons want to bolster their receiving corps. if these reports are true.

The receivers in question are Courney Roby, Lavelle Hawkins and Mohamed Massaquoi.  Massaquoi was a standout at the University of Georgia, but has struggled to find his footing in the NFL.

Roby has only 25 receptions for 332 yards in four NFL seasons with the Titans and Saints.  He  didn't play in the NFL from 2007-2008 before landing in New Orleans in 2009.  He also didn't play at all from 2010-2011 before playing one more year for the Saints last season.

New York Giants CB Jayron Hosley Targeted Early and Often by Falcons' Matt Ryan

New York Giants rookie cornerback Jayron Hosley made his first NFL start in yesterday's giant debacle, and might as well have had a bulls eye on his back. It became pretty clear early on that it was part of the Falcons' gameplan to look for whichever receiver Hosley was covering, and that's exactly what they did. Hosley was plain outmatched by the Falcons' large framed receivers all game.

Hosley admits he made several mistakes during the game, such as using a certain technique when he should've used another. For example, on one play Julio Jones ran a go route, getting behind Hosley, resulting in a forty yard touchdown reception.

"He just got behind me," Hosley said. "I could have played outside leverage more. He's a fast receiver who builds up his speed. I should have kept outside leverage, and he just made a big play."

The rookie admitted to another mistake on a screen and go route which appeared to be the same play the Falcons ran earlier. His mistake allowed for a 37 yard gain for Harry Douglas.

"They had run a screen before that, and they ran it again and I played a little too aggressive on it," Hosley said. "The guy that had blocked me before [Douglas] got behind me."
