FLOWERY BRANCH -- The Falcons can carry the entire roster through the four exhibition games this season because of a rule change, but some players have helped their chances of making the final 53-man roster through two games.

Here’s are five players who’s arrow is pointing upward for the Falcons:

--Reggie Davis, wide receiver. "I thought Reggie Davis had a big play down the field,"

Falcons coach Dan Quinn said on Monday.

--Quincy Mauger, safety. "Although he had a couple of missed assignments, he had really good intent for the ball," Quinn said. He also had a spectacular interception.

--Kemal Ishmael, linebacker. "He really had a deliberate mindset for the football," Quinn said. "He was somebody who had real intent about him all the way through."

--Josh Keys, linebacker. Played well on special teams.

--Sean Harlow, guard. "I thought Sean Harlow...improved his game from an intense and physicality (standpoint)."
