Falcons

Falcons HC Dan Quinn offered some praise for the team’s pass rushers Adrian Clayborn, Kroy Biermann and rookie Vic Beasley on Tuesday.

“The big thing that we’re going to preach is trying to move the quarterback off the spot; how many times can we get that quarterback to move,” Quinn said, via ESPN.com. “So the speed and the effort and the way that we come off the ball, that’s some of the things that you try and implement on third down. Some of it was pressure, some of it was rush so for the first day, I have to take a look back at the film.

“I thought inside, Clayborn was one that jumped out. I saw Beasley jumped out for one. Biermann, I thought, had a good one. Those three jumped out in that period (where) we had about eight plays of third down competition at the end where you win it or lose it based on that down and distance.”

Ravens
