Mandatory mini-camp opens

By D. Orlando Ledbetter | Saturday, May 10, 2008, 09:35 AM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Apparently the idea to open Coach Mike Smith’s first mandatory mini-camp is going to be big hit.

An hour before the team took the field, about 100 fans were already lined up alongside the practice field. The makeshift Falcons store had a line of about 20 people waiting to buy merchandise.

All of the kid toys were being inflated in the parking lot.

The whole scene has a little training camp feel to it.

Here are couple of things to look for when the team hits the field:

  1. Will defensive back Jimmy Williams show up? (He scooted out a couple of days early from the optional mini-camp).

  2. Who’s going to be on the offensive line? Will rookie Sam Baker go to left tackle with the No. 1 unit?

  3. How far along are the injured players, Todd Weiner, Trey Lewis, Brian Finneran et al.

  4. How will Matt Ryan do in the 7-on-7 drills?

Check back later as things progress.
