Tonight’s all about the battles. While the Falcons won’t be out there grappling with themselves or deep existential questions, they will be playing the Jets with the intention of helping to sort out the battles they’ve thus far only seen in practice and in sporadic scrimmages. That means opportunity, and here are six positions where that opportunity is most critical. You’ll note that five of them are on offense.
Quarterback
Matt Schaub will get some run, but the real battle to watch here will be between Garrett Grayson and Kurt Benkert.
