I wouldn't mind that seeing our line backing situation. Is Deion Jones going to be on the board for that long or whoever else they're looking for in the 2nd?

After his pro day I'm worried about that too. He was a late 2nd before that.

Good thing I read was we aren't one of the teams to schedule Reggie ragland.

I really like x'ua cravens to play that deone Buchanon style WILL lb

Blank announces he is ‘cancer free’

Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who had surgery four weeks ago for prostate cancer, announced that he is now cancer free on Thursday.

Blank made the announcement while speaking at the Georgia Technology Summit at Cobb Galleria in front of 1,500 people.

Blank has been working through the post operative issues such a procedure provides. He will go through regular check ups to make sure it does not reoccur, according to statement released by his foundation.

“He’s doing great and is back to work,” a spokeman said.

Blank was speaking to the group after receiving the Technology Association of Georgia’s Captain of Innovation Award.

The spokesman for Blank said the owner would have no further comment.

During his speech, Blank also discussed the progress of the new stadium, the Braves move to Cobb County and his desire to keep the Falcons in the heart of the city.

He noted that the Blank Foundation has committed $30 million to help revive the Westside area near the new stadium.

He noted that the new stadium would environmentally responsible and use substantially less water consumption than the Georgia Dome.

In February, Blank announced that he had been receiving treatment for prostate cancer.

“In December I was diagnosed with a treatable form of prostate cancer,” Blank said in a statement on Tuesday. “Over the last several weeks Angie (Macuga) and I have visited a number of expert doctors and hospitals across the country to identify the best treatment options for me.

“I have chosen an aggressive approach that will include surgery and the overall prognosis is good. I’m looking forward to getting this behind me and continuing a very active lifestyle, my upcoming wedding, as well as continued active involvement in our businesses and philanthropic efforts for years to come.”

Blank, 73, and Macuga, his fiancee, are engaged to be married in June.

Blank was in good spirits while discussing the condition of the football team, the premium seat license situation for the new stadium and the hopes for landing the Super Bowl in 2019 or 2020 at the Super Bowl.
