During Atlanta Falcons training camp on Friday evening, defensive end Takkarist McKinley and offensive tackle Jake Matthews were involved in a small, shoving match.

The low-key tussle was over as quickly as it began.

Although coach Dan Quinn said he loves to see intense matchups, he did not support the behavior between teammates.

"You don't get to do that in a game, so in a game you get thrown out, so it's not part of our practice,” Quinn said. “They’re going to battle against each other for a long time, so that battle is what makes us us."
