September 19, 1999 Chandler might play backup By Matt Winklejohn, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Falcons quarterback Chris Chandler remains doubtful for Monday's game at Dallas with a strained right hamstring, but coach Dan Reeves said he might be the backup to third-year pro Tony Graziani, who probably will start. In the NFL, if the No. 3 quarterback plays before the fourth quarter, the other two cannot re-enter the game until the fourth quarter. Then, teams can substitute all three quarterbacks. On Saturday, Chandler threw passes in drills, but Graziani and Danny Kanell got all the work with the first two offenses. Roster rumblings Cornerback Michael Booker (strained thigh), defensive tackle Ben Huff (sprained ankle), fullback Jeff Paulk and tight end Rod Monroe were put on the early inactive list. Wide receiver Jammi German, signed off the practice squad Tuesday, probably will play special teams. Going home General manager Harold Richardson was born in Houston, played at Southern Methodist, and coached at North Texas State, Texas Christian and SMU. His father still lives in Texas. ... Several coaches have Texas ties, and running back Byron Hanspard (Desoto), linebacker Jeff Kelly (LaGrange), offensive linemen Adam Schreiber (Galveston), Calvin Collins (Beaumont) and Jose Portilla (Houston), defensive linemen Shane Dronett (Orange) and Ed Jasper (Troup), and Monroe (Hearne) have Texas hometowns. ... Vice president of corporate development Tommy Nobis, who in 1966 was the first draft choice in Falcons history, was a legendary linebacker at the University of Texas. ... Pro personnel chief Ron Hill, college personnel chief Reed Johnson and national scout Mike Hagen began as scouts with Dallas between 1975 and '83. Remember me? The Falcons made Dallas reserve defensive tackle Nathan Davis a second-round choice in '97. But after a miserable, overweight rookie season, he quit on the first day of training camp in '98 after taking a bunch of diuretics--specifically, he said, Vivarin--the night before to lose weight. When he tried to re-join the team, he was waived. In Dallas, Davis is more inclined to talk about his five tattoos and 10 body piercings. "When things get rough, I go get something pierced," Davis said.
