Copied! The Atlanta Falcons held their first day of rookie minicamp practice on Friday and for the first time since being hired as head coach in Atlanta, Arthur Smith was leading the way on the practice fields. All nine of Atlanta's draft picks were in attendance as were all 20 college free agents and five tryout players. Here are five observations from practice on Friday: Arthur Smith runs a tight ship Since his introductory press conference back in January, Smith has stressed accountability will be a core principle of his program. That was on full display during practice when he stopped the 11-on-11 portion of practice and asked the players to start one of the reps over. Throughout the entire practice, Smith moved around to work with different position groups and was communicating with various players.
