Falcons training camp 2024 Day 2 recap and notes: Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix have their way

Falcons training camp 2024 Day 2 recap and notes: Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix have their way

We got our first real live action in what was a day of heavy 11 on 11s, and it was the two quarterbacks who shined.

With the threat of rain subsiding a bit and the sun frequently peering through the cloud cover over Flower Branch, we got a more traditional kickoff time of 9:30 a.m. for practice this morning, and the team absolutely hit the ground running already taking the first snap of walkthroughs the second that time marker hit.

While Day 1 was heavy on walkthroughs, that was only about a 10-minute portion of practice at the very beginning...

10 things you need to know from the first 2 days of Falcons training camp

Kirk Cousins and Grady Jarrett are medically cleared, Raheem Morris used some SAT words to talk about the pass rush, and much more.

It’s been about five years since I last typed these words: I’ve been up in Flowery Branch for the first couple of days of Falcons training camp. It’s so good to be back!

Our own Adnan Ikic is doing the heavy lifting with his daily recaps, so I’m just going to hit the high points from what I’ve observed and heard the past two days and give you a look forward at what to expect on Saturday...

The Falcons have their chance to be 2024’s comeback franchise

The Falcons have their chance to be 2024’s comeback franchise

Bogged down by the weight of their own mistakes and poor luck, Atlanta can be the team to get right this season.

A team coming off six straight losing seasons under two head coaches. A new head coach who was briefly an interim for that same team, but was passed over in favor of the man he just replaced. Three top ten picks on offense who have, to varying degrees and over different timescales, seen their production limited by injuries and scheme. A well-respected defensive star returning from a major injury. A front office, a coaching staff, and even an...

Falcons training camp 2024: Day 1 recap and notes

A late start to camp today due to weather featured a lot of walkthrough and some key players coming off of major injuries.

As the clouds descended upon the fields of Flowery Branch, so too did the Atlanta Falcons descend upon the football field at IBM Performance Field for the first day of a new training camp. There was a buzz in the air as the media room was more full than I have ever seen it in the past, with everybody ready to take in a new season of new expectations.

Before the first football was snapped the team...

Falcons sign interior offensive lineman Zack Bailey

Falcons sign interior offensive lineman Zack Bailey

The team’s offensive line signings continue to roll in.

It’s officially the first day of training camp, and the Atlanta Falcons are already getting active with their roster. The Falcons have signed interior lineman Zach Bailey after he had a successful workout with the team, and Bailey joins recent signing and fellow offensive lineman Julie’n Davenport on this roster.

Bailey is a 6’6” University of South Carolina alum who spent the last two years with the Chargers and had previous stints with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Indianapolis Colts, and Minnesota Vikings, which means he’s a familiar face for Kirk Cousins....

3 major questions for Falcons training camp

3 major questions for Falcons training camp

The Falcons want to do big things. Answering these three questions in training camp will help to ensure they get there.

Training camp is here. Players are arriving, optimism is wafting through Flowery Branch, and the season is close enough that we can almost close our eyes and see football being played. This is a marvelous time to be an Atlanta Falcons fan, before the bumps and warts of reality arrive and before we get to see just how much this team has improved in 2024.

In the spirit of curiosity and wonder that we should all be experiencing right...

Falcons sign veteran offensive lineman Julie’n Davenport

Falcons sign veteran offensive lineman Julie’n Davenport

Davenport will be trying to break in after not appearing in an NFL game since 2021.

The Atlanta Falcons know they have little in the way of settled depth along their offensive line, which is worrisome given that injuries routinely pop up. As good as this team’s starters are, knowing you have more than Storm Norton and a prayer is good for anyone’s peace of mind.

That’s likely why they’ve been tinkering with their line depth so frequently in recent months, and that tinkering continued on Tuesday. With training camp just around the corner, the Falcons have signed veteran tackle...

5 offensive sleepers who could make an impact for the Falcons in 2024

5 offensive sleepers who could make an impact for the Falcons in 2024

Aside from Kirk Cousins, Bijan robinson, and receiving threats Drake London and Kyle Pitts, what other weapons can we see play a huge role in 2024?

The Falcons ranked just around middle of the pack in 2023 for offensive yards per game. While that’s not where they want to be in terms of rankings, many positives can be taken from how effectively the Falcons ran the ball with rookie running back Bijan Robinson and second year back Tyler Allgeier, as they ranked ninth for rushing in 2023 and had plenty of big moments on the ground.

Still, the Falcons struggled...
