The Facts: As the Falcons concluded last Tuesday's session of organized team activities, a group consisting of Jones, QB Matt Ryan, HC Dan Quinn, GM Thomas Dimitroff and WR Justin Hardy huddled on a far field, engaged in an extended conversation. The details of the discussion were not disclosed, but Jones offered a hint about the topic when he brought up his offseason chat with OC Kyle Shanahan. "Kyle sat us down, one by one, and then talked to us as a whole, but his biggest thing is communication," Jones said.

Diehards Line: Jones added: "Our job is to make sure we're on the same page with the quarterbacks, because Kyle, he's coaching the quarterbacks. He's coaching all of us, but if he's telling the quarterbacks one thing and our receivers coach is telling us another thing, we're going to kind of be off." Jones was asked if communication was one of the downfalls last season during the first year in Shanahan's offense. "Basically, I think that was our biggest thing, just communication," Jones said. It will help that Ryan has a better feel for Shanahan's playbook. Year 2 in the system will help everyone, with Ryan relaying the plays from Shanahan, the wide receivers and running backs understanding the routes, formations, and motions better, and the line being on more solid footing.
