Tyson Clabo "excited" to face former teammates

Tyson Clabo has said that he is "excited" by the prospect of facing some of his former Atlanta Falcons teammates this weekend.

The offensive tackle spent eight seasons with the NFC South side before joining the Miami Dolphins in May.

The 31-year-old told the Dolphins' website: "I have a lot of friends on that team. I was there for a really long time, eight seasons is a long time to be in one place. So of course I'm excited and it should be fun.

"If you're a professional, every game is the game. Every week, the game, so last week was the game, so how can this week be any different than last week?

"It is the next game and in order for us to do what we want to do and go where we want to go we've got to play that way."

The Dolphins have made a 100% start to the 2013 NFL season.
