Here’s a look at the developments at this weekend’s Falcons minicamp, in One-Liner style.
QB Matt Ryan will have to work his way up the depth chart; he’s currently behind Chris Redman and Joey Harrington and rotating reps with D.J. Shockley.
Coach Mike Smith tells the rookies, “I want them to have the mind-set that they’re going to come in here and compete to play from day one.”
Ryan likes to wear a brace on the knee of his plant leg as a precaution against injury.
The pre-minicamp ritual for each player included a photo shoot and dental and vision exams.
CB Brent Grimes showed off impressive man coverage ball skills.
The coaches want to get a look at the progress of injured players Todd Weiner, Trey Lewis and Brian Finneran.
Rookie WR Henry Douglas could be used in Mike Mularkey’s offense as a Wes Welker-type slot receiver.
Rookie RB Thomas Brown, a sixth-round pick from Georgia, will compete for a spot behind Michael Turner and Jerrious Norwood.

“The pre-minicamp ritual for each player included a photo shoot and dental and vision exams.”
So Vick isn’t the only Falcon having required cavity searches.

“Rookie WR Harry [sp] Douglas could be used in Mike Mularkey’s offense as a Wes Welker-type slot receiver.”
Think the media’s putting a little too much pressure on a 3rd round slot WR here? Every time this guy’s name is mentioned, it’s tossed out in tandem with Wes Welker’s…
It’s OK, Harry - if you’re the next Kevin Curtis, Shaun McDonald or Mike Furrey, that would be OK too…
