Falcons Brooking Leadership Key To Playoff

By Rose Scott

a – Nearly ten years ago Keith Brooking was the new kid on the block---now the 11 year veteran will be called upon to lead on and off the field.
Brooking is the sole leftover from the Falcons only Super Bowl appearance in 1999.

Score Atlanta sports reporter Josh (bag-gree-in-skee says that --makes Brooking an invaluable asset:
((you watch this team on the field and see how important he is vocally you got a lot of young players who might be a little nervous under the bright lights of the playoffs this week))

Bag-gree-in-skee says although Brooking has lost a step he still plays hard and encourages the other defensive players:
((his leadership and confidence in those players is one of the reasons the defense has been able to do some good things this season and I see no reason not to believe that won't happen again))

The Falcons and Cardinals game kicks off at 4:30pm in Glendale, Arizona.
