EDTShareTweetShareShare8 most interesting things from Falcons’ rookie minicampAndy Benoit at Sports Illustrated recently gave a look at what rookies can expect from attending the Atlanta Falcons rookie minicamp. Minicamp gives coaches a look at their new, young talent before the veteran players hit the field. I've included the eight most interesting things that happened at minicamp, listed below. Equipment roomArguably the most important thing about football is the equipment. So naturally one of the first things rookies do is get suited up to hit the practice field. First team meetingLike the first day of school, the rookies have an introduction to their fellow rookies and the Falcons coaching staff. Also, an interesting takeaway from the meeting room is an apparent motto for the team, at least this year. Quarterbacks meetingEven the rookie quarterbacks know that Matt Ryan is the leader around Flowery Branch. They know ahead of time that the quarterback position is arguable the toughest to land a spot on the 53-man roster. The two quarterbacks attending this year’s rookie minicamp are Kurt Benkert, who was on the Falcons’ practice squad last season, and rookie Eli Dunne from Northern Iowa.Offensive Line MeetingThe Falcons were committed to protecting quarterback Matt Ryan this offseason Womens Duke Shelley Jersey , as they drafted two offensive linemen in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Ten offensive linemen, including RG Chris Lindstrom and RT Kaleb McGary attended this year’s rookie minicamp.WalkthroughThe walkthrough itself is pretty boring, but it basically is the first action that the rookies see as a member of the Atlanta Falcons. The rookies line up and go through the walkthrough, displaying what will occur when they actually practice. PracticeFinally, it’s time to see what the rookies are made of! Practice gives the coaching staff a good idea on what to expect from each rookie heading into training camp. You have to respect that Dan Quinn isn’t just standing nearby watching.Defensive meetingThe level of play defensive players are accustomed to in college compared to the NFL is a challenge each must face. Dan Quinn discussed the difference in regards to defensive pass interference, where in college football it’s only 15 yards. In the NFL, a defensive pass interference can be a lot more.Special teams meetingThe Falcons will have a new special teams coordinator in 2019 with Ben Kotwica. Special teams hasn’t exactly been an area where the team has excelled as of late, and it seems the main area of focus will be coverage.Rookie minicamp is an exciting time Cheap Duke Shelley Jersey , as there’s some actual football action, even if it’s only between rookies and younger players. Sports Illustrated’s article goes more in depth on what took place at Falcons rookie minicamp, and it’s worth reading the whole article. The Bears had the opportunity to watch most of the rest of the NFL while on their bye during Week 5. In the midst of that process, they maintained a stranglehold on advanced analytical numbers painting them as one of the best teams in professional football. Despite the time off, the Bears are No. 2 overall in Football Outsiders’ DVOA metric for the second-straight week. Only the undefeated Rams at 5-0 paint the picture of a better team than the Bears, at least according to these numbers. Not to be outdone, the similarly undefeated Chiefs and red hot Saints trail just behind the Rams and Bears. As editor Aaron Schatz puts it, “there’s a healthy gap between those three teams and the rest of the league.”When was the last time you could classify the Bears in that manner?On a deeper level White Duke Shelley Jersey , for the third consecutive week the Bears have the No. 1 overall defense. I guess that’s what happens when you lead or are at the top of most relevant defensive statistics. Ho-hum. Somehow, even while not playing, Chicago actually rose up two slots to the No. 17 offense. Though that probably speaks more to terrible offenses bearing out in Week 5 giving the Bears a boost. The Bears return to action this Sunday in Miami against the Dolphins with an opportunity to maintain that healthy numbers gap of elite teams and everyone else that doesn’t matter.
