The team also promoted one scout, Mark Olson, and hired two others, Marvin Allen and Bob Kronenberg I know Drew Bennett but never heard of the LB. Bennett is a Brian Finneran like 6'5'', red zone targert type of reciever. He, like Finneran, has battled injuries the last few years. He had one monster season, that Finneran never had, with over 1,200 yards, 80 catches, and 11 Td's. http://www.nfl.com/players/drewbennett/profile?id=BEN215426 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosgrim Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Dimitrof seems infatuated with 6'5" receivers. The Falcons may have one of the tallest receiving corps in the NFL if either Bennett or the kid from Clemson sticks. In all, it looks like the Falcons are bringing in guys to compete with the starters. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all, it looks like the Falcons are bringing in guys to compete with the starters. I like it! I think this might be because of our red zone inefficiency last year. Despite having one of the very best rushing offenses in the league, the Falcons were only average at scoring TD's inside of 20. Tony Gonzalez should help that more than Drew Bennett or Aaron Kelly, but just having more options should be for the best. Having multiple receivers capable of catching a corner fade should improve our TD%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
