Sounds like another big day for Wake. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whitworth spent some time last week reviewing tape with right tackle Andre Smith as they got ready for Smith's first full NFL game. While Falcons sack ace John Abraham lined up mainly over Whitworth last Sunday, Whitworth expects six-sack man Cameron Wake to line up more often than not over Smith. And while the 6-3, 250-pound Wake is built a lot like Abraham, he’s more of a physical rusher with an endless motor that doesn’t quit until the whistle. Both Whitworth and Smith will be getting their first look at Wake, an outside backer in a 3-4.
“I talked to (Smith) about some things and it seemed to help him,” said Whitworth, who was playing Abraham for the second time. “It was good to see him in there battling last week. This will be another good test for both of us. He hasn’t played a lot of live snaps. This is like a rookie year for him facing all these rushers. When you face guys, you have to learn them. As he got more comfortable, he played better and better as the game went on and this guy will be another test for him.”
Both Smith and Whitworth allowed an Abraham sack, but they came in the final 1:54 with the Falcons up 15. Whitworth is still heated he gave up his on the last play.
“Whenever you battle a guy like that as good all day ... you get in that scenario, that’s where those guys get their sacks,” Whitworth said. “Last second, game-over type sack. Those are tough. They always tick you off. But you’ve got to realize you played a great player.”
