Falcons’ quarterback rotation set for exhibition opener vs. Jets
Falcons coach Dan Quinn has his quarterback rotation set for the exhibition opener against the New York Jets at 7:30 p.m. Friday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
“We’ll certainly get some work with both Matts, Schaub and Matt Ryan in the first half,” Quinn said after practice on Wednesday. “Then as it gets into the second quarter, we want to take a good look at Kurt (Benkert) and Garrett (Grayson) both. ... We’ll see how the game plays out, but we are hopeful to get all four of them some meaningful reps.”
