Quinn named Falcons head coach aims for speed and effort
Quinn, former Seahawks coordinator, says his first goal is to give players a sense of the speed and attitude required. He notes the team must be in better shape than last year as he replaces fired Mike Smith. Owner Arthur Blank grants him final say on rosters while Dimitroff assists in the draft. Eleven NFL veterans trialed, including Carlton Mitchell, Evan Royster and Horace Miller, with Adam Carriker among standouts trying out.
