After a one week hiatus, the Walking The Plank Podcast has returned as we discuss the Atlanta Falcons and we get into the hate on Buccaneers corner Vernon Hargreaves.

Although my co-host David Harrison was unavailable, I took the time to talk to Matt Karoly of Blogging Dirty as we round up our NFC South Draft Stealers series with the defending NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons. Matt gets into the Falcons’ draft class overall as well as the surprises and favorites of his.

We do discuss the infamous 28-3 tweet sent out by the Bucs and get both his and my feelings on the entire situation as well as discussing how he – and many Falcons fans – view this current Buccaneers team with the changes they’ve made and improvements to the offense.

I then get into an email regarding Vernon Hargreaves and how some view him as – as the email states – “the second Messiah”, while others’ hate on him far too much. This leads down an interesting path as I unload on Pro Football Focus and their grading system and analysis.
