With the Falcons set to report Thursday night to training camp at Furman University in Greenville, S.C.,there are plenty of questions as the team seeks to build upon last year's 10-7-1 mark. Here are 10:
1. Will Price be right? The offseason acquisition of wide receiver Peerless Price looks like a winner. After all, he caught 94 passes last season for Buffalo, and he won't be asked to do that in Atlanta. But he will be expected to provide a bona-fide downfield threat and open receiving and running lanes for others. Yet some skeptics say his statistics were inflated by the the Bills' pass-happy offense and the presence of former teammate Eric Moulds (100 receptions). Time for Peerless to prove he's worth the big bucks.
2. Can Vick keep improving? In his first season as a starter, the Falcons' quarterback took the NFL by storm as his progress far exceeded expectations. But ragged footwork plagued Vick at times, and that'll be a priority at camp. Improvement in that area would help lift his completion percentage, which was 54.9 in 2002. MORE....
