The film didn’t lie. It just stretched John Abraham’s 2009 season into something much better than it looked on paper. Those 5.5 sacks that were easily the lowest total in any season in which he’s played more than eight games? Well, they were a concern for the Atlanta Falcons’ defensive end. After all, he was 31 last season and his sack total had dropped by 11 from 2008. “I thought maybe I was losing something, so let me check," Abraham said. “I sat down and started watching the tape, really watching it honestly. I walked away feeling like I’m still a valuable player for this team. I didn’t play bad last year. As I watched the tape, I didn’t feel like I lost a step. There were times when I got there, but the sacks just didn’t happen. I thought I had a pretty good year last year." http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcsouth/post/_/id/10559/atlantas-john-abraham-looks-to-rebound
