And the roof has a new acoustical product for bettersound."It's still going to be the noisiest stadium in the NFL, but itwill improve the quality of the sound," Premier Rolando McClain Jersey Lester said.The Dome is safe, too, he said."Had we gone with a partial (roof) replacement Replica Richard Seymour Jersey White - just replacesome of the panels - I think there would have been a legitimatequestion of how safe it would be," Lester said. "With insurancecoverage, Premier Richard Seymour Jersey Black the only remedy was a complete replacement of all 106panels. There should be no concerns about safety."

UpdatedAug 25, 2011 6:26 AM ETI've been hearing rather less about the Falcons than I thought I might, andmuch of what I have heard has been negative. So I got to thinking:Where's the buzz about these Birds? And then I thought, "Maybe it'sjust you. Maybe there's this huge buzz you haven't heard becauseyou're off listening to your warped vinyl records."So I asked. In a blog post on ajc Wednesday morning, Iinvited readers to tell me if such a buzz existed, and if not, whynot? And the results were overwhelming --- 400 online comments in 41/2 hours, dozens of Rolando McClain Premier Jersey emailed responses, plus Facebook postings andTwitter tweets --- and instructive.From Paul Lipsey via email: "Thought you'd made a wackyassumption this morning, but I see nothing in the first hour ofcomments to indicate that you've made a mistake. No screechingoutrage from the Falcon flock? I'm flummoxed."So that made two of us. The obvious next question: Why aren'tyou buzzed?From Raiders Rolando McClain Premier Jersey Tom on ajc: "Because the thought of Michael Turnerrunning for 2 yards a carry and the defense getting repeatedlysmoked does not make one excited."From Matt from MN on ajc: "Because the Rolando McClain Jersey Black thought of anotheryear of Mike Mularkey in charge of Matt Ryan and the offense isjust too much to bear."From Micky Woolsey via email: "The fans just don't trust the Falcons Rolando McClain Jersey Replica because of the past. I haveto admit that, even Official Rolando McClain Jersey though I think they are the best team in theNFC, I still have doubts."From HJones on ajc: "I am 65 years old and lived in theAtlanta area all of my life. I have seen all of the bad times andthe supposedly good times. I don't have faith in the current Falcons to play at the high levelrequired to win the big games."We pause to note: The Falcons were 13-3 last season andwere the NFC's No. 1 seed. They got blitzed by Green Bay in theplayoffs, but the Packers did win the Super Bowl. The Falcons added Julio Jones via thedraft and Ray Edwards via free agency. A good team would appear tohave gotten better on both offense and defense. Does glory notawait?From NorthGANole on ajc: "Buzz usually comes with addedpersonnel ... Rolando McClain Jersey Premier The only major acquisition that was made [outside ofdraft picks] is Ray Edwards and we haven't seen him play yet."From Big Ray on ajc: "True diehard Replica Rolando McClain Jersey fans are excited. Buteven we were burnt by the loss to Green Bay. We've got to win thatfirst playoff game under the [Thomas] Dimitroff/[Mike] Smithregime."Many respondents pointed, with cause, to causation: The lockoutdiverted our attention, and the Braves captured it. And we tend topay attention to college football around here. And it is stillpreseason.From Ronald D. Willard via email: "The vast majority ofreasonable fans understand that this team is in such good handsthat there is little need for hand-wringing ... You know thatDimitroff, Smith and the players will be well prepared and willgive us the maximum Raiders Rolando McClain Authentic Jersey effort at all times. Their efficiency Rolando McClain Replica Jersey has bothspoiled us and given us a sense of security that longtime fans havenever had the Rolando McClain Jersey White luxury of enjoying."From Jason Reittenbach via email: "My prediction: If we beatChicago in Week 1 and then have [Michael] Vick and prime-time TVcoming in Week 2, the excitement will be through the roof onceagain."On those cheery notes, I'll end. But not without saying thanksto everyone who responded.

"It's not just another game, but it's achance for me to go out there and try to make the team."Smith has been raving about Walls, who is 6-0, 190 pounds, sincehe made a couple of plays in punt coverage against Miami."He's caught our attention," Smith said. "He's earned anopportunity to get some playing time."Kelly getting readysTight end Reggie Kelly, who was signed to replace Justin Peelleat the No. 2 spot, is soaking up the offensive information."He's been around a long time," veteran tight end Tony Gonzalezsaid.
