Camp report: Clark Phillips III makes dash play before fans

[Earnest2]

Notes, observations from method Roll call: After technique, Arthur Smith was asked about the condition of Calais Campbell, who the Falcons put on the NFI checklist on Tuesday afternoon. He restated that Campbell's standing is not one the Falcons are stressed regarding, and to "give it 10 days" as he resolves it. For the second day in a row, Eddie Goldman was not present at method. Punter Bradley Pinion was likewise missing, with Smith stating it resulted from an individual issue, once more, absolutely nothing of worry in the long-term. Upgrading punt return strategies: It's been a while because we have actually highlighted this certain special teams device. Since Avery Williams endured a season-ending knee injury throughout OTAs, the Falcons have actually been on the hunt to discover their next punt returner. It'll be rather the competitors, with 6 various gamers lining up to receive puntings throughout 2 various unique groups periods on Thursday. Right here are the players we saw taking those associates: RB Bijan Robinson, DB Mike Hughes, WR Scotty Miller, WR Penny Hart, DB Dee Alford and WR Zay Malone. With 3 preseason video games on the routine, it won't be unusual to see any/all of these gamers take some preseason associates at punt return as the Falcons absolutely no in on that they want replacing Williams come the beginning of the 2023 season. "Ooooh": As kept in mind in the opening paragraphs, followers present at Thursday's technique had the ability to see rather the performance by the defensive backs. An additional moment that received a vocal response from the group included London and Jeff Okudah. In among the final 11-on-11 periods, Desmond Ridder tried to go to the endzone to London in single coverage in the front edge. Okudah didn't make it very easy on him, though, obtaining in great placement in front of the second-year receiver. Both London and Okudah rose for the dive round, with both getting their hands on it, yet Okudah did sufficient to come up with the PBU as the round foraged London's hand, falling away as the duo involved the ground. Possibilities are it will not take London lengthy to find the various other side of that 50/50 round, however it was Okudah's moment to radiate on Thursday.2023 Atlanta Falcons "Ahhhh": Early in practice, followers obtained to see the elusiveness of the No. 8 total pick at work against Jessie Bates III. Though one could suggest that Bijan Robinson just won the representative because, well, it was early in practice and it wasn't like every person was going full rate during that 7-on-7 period. Yet still, it obtained the group's attention as Ridder dropped it off to Robinson toward the sideline a couple of lawns out of the line of skirmish. Coming near place his hands on Robinson to quit the play, Bates approached only to see Robinson plant his foot simply off the sideline and juke by him untouched up the field. When the pads take place, maybe this play finishes in a different way, but it was a moment the fans really liked to see: A little of Robinson's elusiveness on display screen. Intensity rising: If there's one point about Arthur Smith you should understand, it's that (I believe) he delights in shaking up plumes, and he obtained London's feathers waving after the moment we reviewed in the opening paragraphs. Essentially, there was some trash talk, with Smith pointing to Utah (Phillips' program) being far better than USC (London's alma mater). London snapped back, showing a fire that is generally scheduled for London on the field. He might be soft spoken and rather chill off the field, but it is a various story completely when London puts the helmet on. He had not been going to let the comment from his coach do without a response. It's good to see some fire from WR1, also two days right into camp and also when that fire is directed at his head trainer. "He's so competitive, " Smith stated of London, "which's what captivates me to him." 2023 AT-T Training School 07.27.23 Have a look as the Atlanta Falcons put in the job in Flowery Branch during the 2023 AT-T Training Camp. 1/ 26 Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo # 6 welcomes fans throughout AT-T Atlanta Falcons Training Camp at Atlanta Falcons Training Facility in Flowery Branch, Ga. on Thursday Cardinals Store, July 27, 2023.
