The Atlanta Falcons have released their 2011 training camp schedule. As is custom, they've done a great job of making sure to include multiple chances for fans to come observe at least one practice. Starting on day No. 1, as a matter of fact. Very few NFL teams are going to have an open practice on every day of the week (except Wednesday!), mixing up mornings and evenings as well. Your team likes you.
The team will also practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on August 17 -- that's a road practice, after the Jags traveled to Flowery Branch last year. No New England Patriots or any other teams on the schedule this time around.
