The Atlanta Falcons' worst fears were realized Monday when an MRI examination confirmed that veteran wide receiver Brian Finneran (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4946), an integral part of the team's passing game, sustained a season-ending injury during a Sunday night practice.

Finneran, whose right knee buckled as he made a cut in a non-contact drill, will be placed on injured reserve for the year after the exam revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament and possible ancillary damage to the knee.

Seeing that we have significant depth at WR, we should trade a middle to late round pick for the likes of Aiken, Reed, Wilson etc. now instead of simply cutting them and getting nothing.

Think the Falcons would want Price in a trade?? (sarcasm off)

Nobody outsde Atlanta understands how big a loss this is. He was the only one really capable of pulling down alot of Vick's crappy passes. He also was able to come back to alot of underthrown balls. Vicks numbers are going to blow this year. My prediction is that Vick is going to end up like Aaron Brooks!!

Let's give them Josh Reed. He and Vick would make a pro bowl practice duo.

I agree its a huge loss, but all reports from camp this year unlike last are very positive about Vick understanding the offense and showing the proper technique and footwork to get it done. Only time will tell but if he doesnt do it this season I cant see him ever getting it done.
