PFSN praises Falcons linebacker for 'outstanding' performance
Veteran linebacker Josh Woods was recognized for his play in Atlanta's preseason opener vs. Detroit. Last week's preseason opener between the Atlanta Falcons and the Detroit Lions was a physical matchup that ended prematurely following an injury scare. The Falcons lost the game but had to be pleased with the way their defense performed in the first half. Linebacker Josh Woods led the team in tackles and was constantly around the ball making plays. He forced one of Atlanta's two forced fumbles against the Lions, and was one of four players to earn an elite Pro Football Focus grade (92.1) for his performance. While the Falcons didn't play their full starting defense in the opener, several key players, including David Onyemata, Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr., played in the first half. Woods' big outing earned him a spot on Pro Football Sports Network's list of outstanding players from Week 1 of the preseason. Falcons LB Josh Woods praised by PFSN: Entering his seventh season in the NFL, Josh Woods has not established himself as a consistent contributor. But if he can keep up his play from the Atlanta Falcons' first preseason game, he may be in line for more reps than ever. Though the game was suspended due to injury, Woods recorded game highs in total tackles (seven) and solo tackles (six), repeatedly finding himself opportunities to finish the play. He also forced a fumble, making the sort of splash play that catches the eye of coaches. - Bjorn Bergstrom, Pro Football Sports Network Woods will look to keep that momentum going when the Falcons take on the Tennessee Titans this Friday in Atlanta. The veteran linebacker has a solid chance to make the 53-man roster if he turns in another big-time performance against Tennessee. The Falcons and the Titans held their second joint practice on Wednesday and things got a bit heated. While training camp fights are nothing new, especially during joint practices, fans were surprised to learn that quarterback Michael Penix Jr. even got in the mix. Ultimately, it was a successful set of practices ahead of the team's second preseason game. We'll see who steps on Friday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Projecting the Falcons' 53-man roster after preseason opener
The Atlanta Falcons got off to a promising start in their preseason opener against the Detroit Lions, but the game was suspended after Lions safety Morice Norris was hospitalized to begin the fourth quarter. The Falcons still had a nice showing in the three quarters of football that were played, especially on defense. The entire defensive line played well, creating good pressure throughout the first half. Linebacker Josh Woods was dominant and along with edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie. Second-year defensive linemen Brandon Dorlus and cornerback Natrone Brooks had solid performances as well. Offensively, there were a few standouts, including wide receiver Dylan Drummond, who caught all eight of his targets for a team-high 63 receiving yards. While the running game stalled out, quarterback Easton Stick had a solid outing. Now that we have one preseason game in the books, check out our latest 53-man roster projection for the Falcons as they prepare for Friday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Love the Bus program highlights school bus safety and their drivers
CLEARFIELD COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — The 'Love the Bus' program works to highlight the importance of school bus drivers and how children can be safe on school buses. This year the program was celebrated at the Clearfield Elementary School and representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and Highway Safety Network spoke with students. They shared how students can be safe around a bus and they play a role in being safe on it. 'Safety is a shared responsibility between students, our bus drivers, parents and teachers. So this gives us an opportunity to kind of bring all of that together right? Talk to the students about what they're part of that shared responsibility is when they're on the school bus,' Josh Woods, the community traffic safety programs coordinator for the Highway Safety Network said. 'This hiccup doesn't stop us at all:' Clearfield store moving forward after robbery Students were given the following tips to be safe while near or on the bus: Get to the school bus stop five minutes early so you won't have to run across the road to catch the bus. When waiting for the bus, stay away from traffic and line up at least five giant steps away from the curb. Never run after the school bus if it has already left the bus stop. Never push when getting on or off the school bus. Always walk at least 10 feet in front of the bus when crossing so that the school bus driver can see you. When the school bus is moving, always stay in your seat. Never put your head, arms, or hands out the window. Never play with the emergency exits. Backpacks, band instruments, or sports equipment may not block the aisle or emergency exits. If there is an emergency, listen to the driver and follow instructions. Never cross the street behind the school bus. The annual event normally takes place around Valentine's Day as it gives students the opportunity to show their appreciation for their bus drivers. So, despite being a little late, first-grade students still were able to give their drivers a token of their appreciation. As the day was all about school bus safety, drivers should also remember that the School Bus Stopping Law requires them to stop at least 10 feet away from buses with their red lights flashing and stop arms extended.
