Rookies & Trenches: Atlanta Falcons Coach Raheem Morris Tabs Standouts at Miami Dolphins
faced the Miami Dolphins in joint training camp practices Tuesday and Wednesday before kicking off the preseason Friday night inside Hard Rock Stadium.
Jarrett, Onyemata and Graham sit atop Atlanta's interior defensive line, but several others beneath them also impressed Morris -- starting with veteran Kentavius Street and trickling into the rookie class, where second-round pick Ruke Orhorhoro, fourth-round selection Brandon Dorlus and sixth-round choice Zion Logue each made plays.
"Really on both sides of the ball was huge, particularly at tight end to watch the new tight ends that we brought in and watch those guys go to work," Morris said. "Both of them -- Dwelley and Charlie -- seeing those guys play physical at the point of attack, it was fun."The Falcons' pass rush failed to sack Dolphins quarterbacks Skylar Thompson and Mike White, but the two passers were hit seven times.
Behind the defensive line in the middle of Atlanta's defense is where linebackers J.D. Bertrand, Milo Eifler and Donavan Mutin spent Friday night.
