FLOWERY BRANCH – Tight end Jacob Tamme, who's been one the early stars of training camp, believes the Falcons can have a "dynamic" offense in 2015.
“I think we can have an offense that can be pretty dynamic, but it’s going to take a lot of work,” said Tamme, who spent most of his career with Peyton Manning in Indianapolis and Denver before signing with the Falcons this offseason, on Sunday. “Just kind of one day at a time. Today was the first day with the pads. We just have to keep building and building.”

“He’s a good quarterback,” Tamme said. “He does everything the right way. One of the main things that I like the most is that he wants to lead at the quarterback position.”
Tamme admires Ryan’s work ethic.
“He understands the responsibility of being a top quarterback,” Tamme said. “He understands what it takes. He has to be on top of everything all the time. Therefore you can expect everyone else to be, too.
“He’s a leader at the position. That’s what you want first of all and then he throws it all in the right places and that gives you a chance to make some plays. He’s been a lot of fun to start working with.”
