Falcons Fine Tune Short-Game Plan At Asheville
Falcons coach Nort Hecker said the offense would emphasize the short pass and ball control as long receivers are scarce. He planned about six more cuts after an intrasquad scrimmage at Asheville Memorial Stadium with several players listed as doubtful due to injuries. Steelers traded a future pick for fullback Willie Asbury, only to have both Detroit and Atlanta battle for his waiver claim as other Falcons veterans left the roster. Evangelist Billy Graham visited the camp, praising the Falcons and Braves from nearby Atlanta.
