The Falcons took the field this morning in pads once again, which was a bit of a surprise. Considering the limitations the CBA places on the number of padded practices each team is permitted to have during training camp, having the first two on consecutive days wasn't anything I expected. The early focus was special teams, with an emphasis on hitting assignments and getting timing down.
Dan Quinn said after practice that the team was also focused on short yardage situations today, and while there were a lot of penalties and a number of things they'll need to clean up, he was pleased with how the team performed overall.
