  Falcons | Tim Dobbins may see increased role on special teams    Wed Jun 25, 04:58 PM

Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith said LB Tim Dobbins may have to pick up some of the slack from players that have left the team. 'He's going to have to pick up some of the slack that we lost with a guy that's leaving our team,' Smith said. 'Akeem (Dent) was a central part on special teams. Dobbins has been a good special teams player. He's probably played more special teams snaps than he has defensive snaps. He has a track record, both as a first, second and third-down player and as a fourth-down player.'

The Atlanta Falcons signed free-agent LB Tim Dobbins (Texans) to a one-year, $855,000 deal.

  Falcons | Tim Dobbins to visit    Thu Jun 12, 09:41 AM

The Atlanta Falcons will visit with free-agent LB Tim Dobbins (Texans) this week.
