Mental health is a weird thing. Idk how the Falcons organization/structure was while he was there, but hopefully the camaraderie we seem to have here can help prevent future issues. As someone who knows first hand what depression can do/make you feel, having that support group around him can be huge. I feel like Doug is a guy I'd want to be around in those situations, he seems to genuinely care about his players and their personal lives.
