DEL.ICIO.USBack sidelines Forney
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Guard Kynan Forney didn’t practice today because his back tightened up a little bit during a meeting this morning.
“[Forney] worked real hard yesterday, I thought he was going to be able to go today,” Petrino said. “It’s going to be a work in progress, but it’s in better shape than it was a year ago, so that’s a good thing.
While Forney suffered a minor setback, Petrino was encouraged with the return of Laurent Robinson, the rookie wideout who is having a strong camp. Petrino said he’s still not 100 percent after tweaking his hamstring over the weekend.
One of the more interesting stories of camp is the play of Noriaki Kinoshita, who has held his own out there. The rookie wide receiver from Japan will get some playing time on Friday and has caught Petrino’s eye.
“He’s been getting more and more reps each day,” Petrino said. “He’s starting to learn what he’s doing. He’s done a nice job working hard.”
Petrino was also asked about what he’ll be looking for in his first preseason game with the Falcons. He spoke about the usual things on defense — everybody getting to the ball, solid tackling etc. Offensively, it’s all about tempo.
“I want to see our tempo in and out of the huddle, how we do at the line of scrimmage. I’d like to have zero times when we’re in trouble with the clock,” he said.
Lastly, I got confirmation that Demorrio Williams was fine after hitting the ground hard while diving to pick of a D.J. Shockley pass. It’s becoming pretty obvious that Williams only knows one speed.
