Mike Smith talks running game

I went to Falcons head coach Mike Smith's press conference. It's the second year in a row they have introduced a new head coach at the Super Bowl to the national media. I overheard a P.R. guy say of the departed Bobby Petrino, "He sucks."

Mike Smith seems like a nice man, but the presser was as non descript as his name. I asked him if Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood fit Mike Mularkey's schemes, and all he said was that Mularkey would tailor the offense to the strength of his personnel. I asked if he expected Dunn back on the team, but he didn't respond to that.

I didn't expect to hear anything different at this stage of the year. They are evaluating their roster and will go into team meetings next week to make an offseason plan. Smith has some history coaching the 3-4 defense, but says the team expects to use a 4-3. Smith worked with both Byron Leftwich and Chris Redman in previous coaching stints, which could help Leftwich remain a Falcon.

Gregg, buddy... there is a huge mistake in this piece and I'll give you a huge hint: It's the last word.

Thank you sir.
