Camp report: Matt Hennessy to go through MRI, Matthew Bergeron ports in

Notes, observations from technique Roll call: Cordarrelle Patterson was not at practice on Friday, with Arthur Smith validating it was a veteran day of rest for the running back/receiver/return man. DL Ikenna Enechukwu was additionally lacking. Smith said Enechukwu has tendinitis and is daily. Smith also had an upgrade on DL Eddie Goldman, that has missed all 3 techniques of training school. Goldman signed a 1 year handle the Falcons in 2015 prior to determining to retire prior to the period began. The Falcons introduced at the start of the 2023 period that Goldman was recovering to the organization, appearing of retirement to have fun with the Falcons However, Goldman never ever attended any one of the Falcons OTAs in June neither was he offer for required minicamp. Smith stated while he did report to training school when everyone else did (with Smith commenting that he looked the part), he hasn't practice considering that, with Smith claiming he's dealing with a personal issue. Inquired about Goldman's standing on Friday, Smith stated there is an opportunity that Goldman retires, once more. He'll have more info on a possible purchase later. Recovering: During the Falcons red area duration in the final minutes of technique, the violation taken advantage of on a protective mistake before the protection provided it right back to them. With Jeff Okudah in protection, he divided off his male to cover the middle of the area just to leave claimed guy vast open in the long run area. After a few words with Falcons assistant head instructor Jerry Gray, Okudah came back ready, ready for the next play. On that play, Okudah stayed body-to-body with his man, so much so that when the ball tipped off the receiver's hands, he was there to find down with the interception. It was a minute that saw Okudah make adjustments in genuine time, from one play to the next. Speaking of the secondary: Arthur Smith had high appreciation for the additional and the method they have actually appearance via the initial 3 days of camp. He stated from leading to bottom, he's been pleased with what each person has given the group. "I like what's going on back there," Smith claimed. ".. You can feel their presence. " Inquired about a group that consists of the sort of Jessie Bates III, A. J. Terrell, Okudah and Richie Grant, protective coordinator Ryan Nielsen said all of it returns to Gray and secondary trainer Steve Jackson. He kept in mind that among the position teams, he's been most happy with the way the secondary has actually focused in on their principles and methods. That goes back to the teachings of Gray and Jackson, he said. 2 people that I have actually been truly impressed with so much through three days of camp is newbie defensive back Clark Phillips III (who we created regarding the other day) and Tre Flowers. Phillips had a couple of PBUs on Friday, while Flowers' size remains to stick out the much more I view him play. He's long and able to trigger receivers issues, revolving in after Terrell and Okudah at outdoors edge. Also Smith commented on that size, stating you can "feel his size" when he's on the area. With Phillips, his grit stands out. With Flowers, it's his build. They're 2 under-the-radar protective backs I have liked early in camp. A play we can live with: Early in technique, during 7-on-7, Desmond Ridder tipped back and introduced the ball downfield towards Drake London competing in the direction of completion area. The ball fell incomplete, and the simpler throw could have been to Kyle Pitts, that was underneath, basically uncovered at the time. To followers viewing, the toss to London might have been thought about an error by Ridder, yet not to Smith. The head trainer mosted likely to Ridder's defense for making that option. If you're going to make a choice like that, now is the time to do so. "I think that's what I appreciate concerning Des," Smith claimed. "He's not worried to take a shot and deal with it. " Smith has always said he does not desire soft hearts on his teams. So, it do without stating he likes seeing this mindset from his QB1. 2023 AT-T Training Camp 07. 27. 23 Have a look as the Atlanta Falcons placed in the operate in Flowery Branch during the 2023 AT-T Training Camp. 1/ 26 Atlanta Falcons twist Younghoe Koo # 6 greets fans during AT-T Atlanta Falcons Training Camp at Atlanta Falcons Training Facility in Flowery Branch, Ga. on Thursday, July 27, 2023.
