HR2 - Falcons players look like they’re starting to get comfortable with their respective roles

In hour two Mike, Ali, and Beau continue to give their takeaways from Atlanta Falcons training camp practice yesterday, react to Falcons Safety Jessie Bates III missing his second straight practice yesterday, both padded practices, talk about how they’re not sure if Bates III is missing practice because of an injury or if he could be possibly doing a hold-in for more money, as he is entering the last year of his contract with no guaranteed money left on his deal, and explain why they think Jessie not practicing right now isn't a big deal either way. Then, Ali tests Mike's and Beau’s knowledge with some Throwback Thursday Trivia for the halftime portion of the show!
