It's not official until coach Mike Martz ends his injury information "blackout" today, but LB Pisa Tinoisamoa has told friends and fans that his dislocated shoulder is fine. He's expected to play against Atlanta.

The Rams released QB Russ Michna from the practice squad Tuesday, paving the way to add a linebacker today. A practice squad spot had to be freed up, because TE Mike Brake was signed there Saturday after being cut from the active roster Friday.

DB Tom Knight was waived off the team's injured reserve list Tuesday after being deemed physically able to play.

"It's probably arrogant, but we're faster than the Rams. Our defense is faster than the Rams' offense and it didn't used to be that way. And now it is. That might sound ****y, but it's a fact."

- Jim Mora, then *****' defensive coordinator, after a 30-10 San Francisco victory. Mora is now Falcons head coach

Yea Mora, you can overrun pursuit just as well as our defense last year did.

Hey Jr,

I agree, the 9'ers defense IS fast.. too bad your Falcons D is not.

And that's the issue, isn't it? Is the Falcons D up to containing the Rams?

The only reason I can come up for Jim Thomas to have inserted this irrelevant quote into his piece is to take up column inch if he is being paid by it. Talk about wasted breath.

I watched that *******, falcoon game ( in bettween my nap!) and I was not at all impressed with the Fbirds. Thier D is weak at best, and Vick seemed to get happy feet when there was pressure. I say this should be a victory provided there are no costly turnovers.
