Falcons @ Jaguars-- Atlanta was outscored 51-0 in two summer road games last year; this is their first true away game of summer, excluding neutral Japan trip. Expect to see lot of Schaub, Detmer, while Jax may be fired up for rare national TV shot, even in preseason (think Saints in last week's similar spot). Garrard is decent backup QB for Jaguars, but if they go to #3 or lower, it is not good, with Gray/Hybl duo. Usually, teams try pretty hard in the third preseason game, but have to believe Atlanta will not want Vick to do too much in hostile enivronment.
