From Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr. to Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill, a rundown of the Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins' joint training camp practice.
receiver Drake London darted from left to right across the formation as quarterback Kirk Cousins barked snap counts. As the play began, London broke to the right -- and was suddenly on the turf.
"The speed was actually a little bit different," Dorlus said. "When you go against your own teammates, it's not as physical as you want. First rep wasn't the best rep, but as time went on during practice, got better and better." In the redzone, Cousins went 3-of-5, hitting Robinson twice in the flat and Pitts on a stop route. His two incompletions came on a jump ball to Mooney in the back left corner that was nearly intercepted and an inaccurate throw to Pitts in a small window on the goal line.
Not lost in the numbers is this: Penix made high-level throws, including a 35-yard bucket ball to Hodge down the right sideline, another to Hodge over the middle and a touchdown pass to tight end Ross Dwelley layered over Miami's defense. It was, ultimately, a day Penix described as fun -- but it was also another important step in his development, which he feels is progressing naturally this summer.
The Falcons' defense generated considerable pressure on Tagovailoa with a variety of blitz packages. Atlanta forced Tagovailoa to scramble twice, forced an incompletion on a cornerback blitz from A.J. Terrell and made Tagovailoa turn to running back Devon Achane on a quick hitter in the flat on another blitz, which prevented Miami from being able to take the deep shots it usually does.
But fighting aside, London had an impressive day. During one-on-ones, he won multiple matchups and caught a deep ball from Cousins down the right sideline, beating Dolphins corner Kendall Fuller. London saw three targets during the team period, catching two of them.
