Classes are in session for the Atlanta Falcons’ virtual offseason.
For coach Dan Quinn, it’s a welcome opportunity to keep moving during the coronavirus pandemic.
Quinn said Monday he expected there would be hurdles to overcome on the day’s opening sessions of virtual classes. With players and coaches forced to remain at their homes during the pandemic, Quinn expects online meetings will keep his team prepared. He hopes there will be practice — and games — later in the year.
“There’s definitely some freshness and newness to the first day of school today for some of the guys in getting going,” Quinn said.

Video chats are a poor replacement for the face-to-face time of a normal offseason program. Quinn said he has challenged his players to use the limitations which accompany sheltering at home as an opportunity.
“The thing I told them is everybody is doing some sort of virtual program, everybody is doing their training on their own, so to speak, for the time being,” he said. “But there’s only going to be one team that’s going to do that the best. So this is a chance for us to be unequal to other teams.”
