Nicholas produced five tackles to Williams’ four and was more effective overall with his gap fits and things of that nature. After the game, coach Bobby Petrino said that the plan was to play both players in the manner that they did. Neither player said he was made aware of the strategy. Petrino said the Falcons are preparing for both players to play again this Sunday at Jacksonville, but he and defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer declined to name a starter. Williams has worked with the starters most of the week but Zimmer said they’re going to roll with whoever has practiced well and is playing the best. Williams admitted that he was off in the opener and that his rustiness could have been a byproduct of missing offseason workouts and most of the preseason while he recovered from torn pectorals surgery. Nicholas said he benefited from all of the offseason and preseason work with the starting unit - in Williams’ place — and that he felt comfortable when he was on the field. Nicholas admitted that he still has plenty of work to do, though. As far as injury news, safety Chris Crocker (bruised knee) did not practice. Tight end Alge Crumpler (knee) was given his usual day off from workouts and he is expected to practice Friday. Petrino said there is no update on defensive tackle Rod Coleman, who had surgery last week to repair damage to his right knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
