DEL.ICIO.USShockley having great practice
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When I got back on the field after the last blog update, the team was scrimmaging. Either I missed Chris Redman completely, or Joey Harrington and D.J. Shockley were the only two quarterbacks to run the offense. Either way, Shockley looked good in this session. He’s having a great practice.
Shockley finished the session 4-for-5 passing including a deep corner to Adam Jennings - who is also having a good practice today. Shockley connected on a deep ball to Jamin Elliott, and he rolled out twice to his right for completions to tight end George Cooper and Eric Weems.
On his only incompletion, 5-foot-10 (as listed on the roster) Noriaki Kinoshita stayed in to block and get smushed by an unidentified defender. One observer who saw the whole thing happen remarked: “I didn’t know the human body could bend in that way.” Kinoshita has shown good hands and quickness so far in training camp, but I’m not sure he’s a guy I’m keeping back to block.
Meanwhile, two fields over, Rod Coleman was working some agility drills in shorts and a t-shirt. He’s got that quad injury, but looked like he was moving pretty good.

Title teams don’t, but we also had Jojo Reyes in there last night, in the playoffs I doubt a guy like that would even play a game ever.

Collin i think you’re on the wrong blog. Anyway, back to the Falcons. That’s good to hear DJ performing well in camp but I’m still not comfortable with who we have a back-ups. Can’t wait for the 10th to see if there any hope to this season whatsoever!!!

Craig, thanks for the updates on Shockley. Great to here he looked good today. Hope to see him work with the second and first this year in preseason. I look forward to see what the kid can do incase Haarington gets hurt in a game. We need to know he if he is a winner and a leader of men. Shockley did run the 2 minute drill to win the game in preseason last year.
