SUWANEE — Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith held his starters out of the team's first live tackling scrimmage in hopes of avoiding injuries on Friday night. The entire squad worked out in front of 6,000 fans at Peachtree Ridge High, but when Smith whistled for the hitting and full-speed blocking to begin, the starters went to the sideline. "That's what you want to see," Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez said.
