Falcons

Falcons WR Drake London feels he can perform better than heโ€™s shown to this point in his career. London spoke on his confidence and his excitement to get going with all the new offseason additions. 

โ€œI want to go out there and make a stand for myself,โ€ London said, via Amna Subhan of the teamโ€™s website. โ€œI know what I can do. I know what type of player I am.โ€

โ€œWe got a lot of guys out here who can really, really ball. They got speed and they can go. (Iโ€™m) just very, very excited to play with them and learn from them as well.โ€

Saints

Saints HC Dennis Allen said they want to get a look at Taliese Fuaga at left tackle because they know what he can provide at the right side of the line already.

โ€œYeah, so we want to take a look at him on the left side and see how he does over there,โ€ Allen said, via Saints Wire. โ€œI think weโ€™re pretty confident that he can play right tackle. So getting him some work over on the left side, I think, is important, and then weโ€™ll evaluate it as we go and see how he does. Starting off weโ€™re going to work him primarily over on the left side, and weโ€™ll evaluate it as it goes. We havenโ€™t made any decisions, in terms of concrete decisions, but yet thatโ€™s where weโ€™re going to start him right now. We wanted to get him a lot of work in this camp, see how he does in this camp, and then weโ€™ll reevaluate after this camp.โ€

Allen hopes that Fuaga can solve their issue on the blindside of the offensive line.

โ€œI think itโ€™s more about, letโ€™s see if he can play left tackle or not. And letโ€™s get him over here on the left side and get him some work there, he hadnโ€™t had a lot of work on the left side. None in game action, you know? So get him some reps over there and see what he can do,โ€ Allen said.
