The Falcons announced their 53 man roster this evening. This announcement was good and bad for the Dawg Falcons. D.J. Shockley beat out Joey Harrington for the third string quarterback job. I'd love to say I predicted it, but I really didn't. I said I thought Shockley should get the job, but I wasn't sure he would.
Also making the team was Martrez Milner. In a very surprising move, the Falcons release recently signed Marcus Pollard. On a side note, Jason Rader also made the team. You may recall he played at Georgia prior to transferring to Marshall.
As expected, Brandon Miller was cut. I'm still thinking he may get added to the practice squad.
Finally, Thomas Brown was not cut, but he was added to the injured reserve list. This means his season is over. That really, really stinks as it looked like he was going to be the number one kick returner. According to the AJC, Brown has a "torn abductor muscle near his groin." Here's to a speedy recovery.
