"That's going to be a lot of fun," Lake said. "Our guys are probably already tired of seeing each other across the line, hitting the same guy. Now, we get to go against a really good opponent in practice in a good setting where we're keeping everybody healthy, but at the same time, we're rolling.Falcons defensive end Zach Harrison confirmed Lake's belief, saying it will be fun hitting players in different uniforms.
And while the week in Miami will be beneficial for readying the Falcons for the regular season opener Sept. 8, it's perhaps more immediately significant for the front office. The Dolphins are coming off four consecutive winning seasons and have made the playoffs each of the past two years.
