FLOWERY BRANCH -- Here are five things we learned from Falcons coach Mike Smith press conference on Monday.
1. RODDY WHITE UPDATE: He expects to have Roddy White back for the Packers. He has a ankle sprain, but its not as bad as last season.
2. ROBERT ALFORD UPDATE: The Falcons are hoping to get Alford (fractured wrist) back for Green Bay. He's being fitted for a cast today and is expected back at practice on Thursday.
3. PAUL SOLIAI UPDATE: He will return to the team on Thursday. There was a death in his family.
4. PASS RUSH: Smith said the Falcons has 11 quarterback hits or knockdowns against the Cardinals. They didn't have any sacks.
5. WILLIAM MOORE UPDATE: He liked the energy that safety William Moore brought to the defense. He played 100 percent of the 55 snaps. "We were worried about his conditioning," Smith said.
