RE: Training Camp Rapid Reports
Quote:43 minutes ago - by Knox Bardeen - DBs Franks and Owens off to good start
“I see guys making plays,” said head coach Mike Smith on watching game tape of CB’s Dominque Franks and Christopher Owens. Smith went on to say the two have been competing well and their competition is making them better players because of the work ethic they are bringing every day. Falcons RapidReports

1 minute ago - by Knox Bardeen - LB Peterson wants a ring
LB Mike Peterson has been working a lot with the second-team defense and said where or when he plays isn’t as important as the ultimate goal: “My ultimate goal went from wanting to lead the team in tackles and sacks in the middle of my career to just wanting to get that ring.” Falcons RapidReports

15 minutes ago - by Knox Bardeen - Gonzalez anxious to see more from Jacquizz
TE Tony Gonzalez on rookie RB Jacquizz Rodgers: “I can’t pass any judgment until I see him play. We did have our mini-scrimmage yesterday and he played really well, so I am anxious to see him (Friday night in the Falcons first preseason game).” Falcons RapidReports

15 minutes ago - by Knox Bardeen - Defense ahead of offense?
LB Mike Peterson said continuity might be the reason the defense is a little ahead of the offense in training camp thus far: “The majority of the guys that are out there (on defense) have been in the system two years or three years; naturally it should be easier for those guys.” Falcons RapidReports

18 minutes ago - by Knox Bardeen - Gonzalez a fan of one-a-days
TE Tony Gonzalez on the new camp schedule and how he thinks it will cut down on injuries: “You ask anybody -- and I’m sure it’s this way around the league -- how good their bodies are feeling just going once a day. I really never understood it the old-school way.” Falcons RapidReports

28 minutes ago - by Knox Bardeen - QB Ryan says Falcons have options
QB Matt Ryan said the combination of RB’s Jacquizz Rodgers and Gartrell Johnson gives the offense many new options on underneath routes and screens. He said he’s anxious to “get those guys the ball out in some space and let them make some plays.” Falcons RapidReports

Aug. 09, 2011 11:10 a.m. - by Knox Bardeen - Owens, Franks step up
As Tuesday's morning session nears completion, CB Christopher Owens has an interception and CB Dominique Franks has a batted ball in coverage. Both players are stepping up as they compete with one another for the nickel back job. Falcons RapidReports

Aug. 09, 2011 11:03 a.m. - by Knox Bardeen - RB Johnson sees action
With RB Michael Turner out for personal reasons, RB Gartrell Johnson is seeing action with the first-team offense. This could be an indication of RB Jason Snelling's reduced role in the offense. Falcons RapidReports
