"@Gil_Brandt: #Falcons owner Arthur Blank told me he feels very confident Julio Jones will have a new five-year deal done very, very soon."

Coleman/Freeman may be back sooner than expected. Great sign.

"@andrewhirsh: Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman are both running and cutting on one of the side fields."

"@jeannathomas: Terron Ward is a reliable receiver. He's got a pretty complete skill set for a rookie."

"@jeannathomas: Phillip Adams just had a leaping INT in drills. He's definitely one to keep track of in preseason."

"@vxmcclure23: Julio Jones giving Robert Alford fits in 1 on 1 drills"

Asamoah being beat out by Stone?

"@andrewhirsh: James Stone has been getting a lot of first-team reps at guard. Interesting..."

"@vxmcclure23: It's frustrating for him at times but Falcons rookie CB Jalen Collins learning on the fly. http://es.pn/1f3BRE5"

"@vxmcclure23: Vic Beasley and Jake Matthews battling again"

"@andrewhirsh: Matt Bryant just booted a 60-yard field goal with room to spare. He's still got it."

Jeanna @jeannathomas @Eddie_chief89 @chriskurtzz Konz has struggled a bit. Mostly running with third team. 8:07 AM - 10 Aug 2015

Konz is the weirdest pick. Thrown into the fire his rookie year and plays well, even as the team went deep into the playoffs. Every season since, one of the worst linemen in the league. Can't even play well back in the ZBS

I have to imagine this is just some combination of taking it easy on Asa due to his ankle tweak and recent stomach bug, plus them knowing Asamoah is already one of the starting OG's and they are wanting to take a longer look at Stone and Chester with the 1's in order to figure out who the other starter is going to be. I know this staff is all about legitimate competition, but I just can't see Asamoah as less than one of our top 2 OG's. Heck, I can't see him as less than our best OG.

Maybe played well for a rookie, but I still thought he played below average his 1st year. He got blown up a lot.

If he was drafted in the 7th round, he's still a waste of a draft pick. He would have been cut a couple years ago if he wasn't drafted so high.

Yeah just stirring up the drama ;)

You're thoughts align with mine to a T.. Look at both Stone/Chester with 1's at the same time. See who's superior. Let Asamoah finish recovering

"@vxmcclure23: Nate Stupar dropped a pick"

"@jeannathomas: That's a wrap on practice. Connects from coaches, Julio coming up soon."

"@andrewhirsh: Coach Turner said neither fullback is ahead of the other right now"

"@jeannathomas: RBs Coach Turner says FB competition is a rotation, pleased with both Dimarco and Mooney at this point."

Matt Ryan hasn't learned from the Vaccaro hit? He's gonna get hit anyway, might as well get the first down lol

A lot of good news from camp today. IF Stone is really giving Asamoah some real competition, then I am a really happy camper. I thought Asamoah did a very good job at RG last year. If Stone can beat him, all the better.

I love to hear about a rookie CB getting schooled, especially when he is as physically talented as Collins. It is the classic case of forging in a crucible.

I know that Matthews can play LT at a high level. The fact that he is healthy and getting challenged by Beasley bodes well for the OL and our pass rush.
