3. Ryan's Review: Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has participated in several minicamps throughout his previous seven years as the team's franchise quarterback. Following Tuesday's fast-paced workout, Ryan was impressed by the way Quinn ran the practice and the remarkable turnout by his Falcons teammates.

"I think it speaks to the guys on our team," Ryan said. "I think it speaks to the kind of guys that we have in our locker room. Guys have been here right from the start in meetings, paying attention, trying to do things the right way, and I think that's going to bode well for us, moving forward."

4. Ready-to-Run Receivers: Among the veteran Falcons joining Ryan at practice Tuesday were some of his prime targets in the passing game, including receivers Roddy White, Devin Hester and Julio Jones. White and Jones worked out together in Arizona during the offseason, preparing each for a new scheme run by Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.

"You definitely have to be in shape, more so than we were last year," Jones said. "There's going to be a lot demanded out of us, and we have to go out there and play for the guy next to us. In the past, I don't think it was emphasized a lot, but now it's 'Hey, you have to go out, no matter what your play is on the backside, if you're getting the ball, if you're not getting the ball, you have to go full speed and pull the defense and pull the coverage.' "

5. Turnaround Season Planned: Falcons third-year cornerback Desmond Trufant has been an outspoken leader in the locker room and now on the practice field in 2015. Embracing the challenge of learning a new defensive scheme, Trufant is motivated to seize such a role, thanks to Quinn and his coaching staff. The excitement and competition at each practice and during meetings is fueled by goals to make the 2015 season unforgettable.
