The first day of Falcons - Jets joint practice was an up and down one, by the sounds of it. Falcons reporters on-site in New Jersey reported that Atlanta’s defense got cooked by Joe Flacco throughout the afternoon, which is not the omen we want or need for Monday night.
Of course, you can only invest so much meaning in that, given that we heard all about the Falcons kicking the Dolphins’ butts at joint practices last year in a way that translated to a win against Miami in the regular season but did not bode well for Atlanta’s fortunes overall.
