Falcons' Alex Mack: Empty NFL Stadiums Would Help Opposing Teams Hear Play Calls

Atlanta Falcons center Alex Mack told Vaughn McClure of ESPN (h/t Curtis Crabtree of Pro Football Talk) one reason he hopes there are fans in the stadium when the season starts in the fall is the ease of which opponents could hear his team's signals without anyone in the crowd.
