"Roddy White out there one-on-one, Pro-Bowl receiver," he said. "I like my chances. I totally believe in him."
Now, so do the Falcons in Redman.
INJURY NOTES:Smith said he did not have an update on either injured running back Michael Turner (sprained ankle) nor did he have one on Ryan's injured toe.
"Guys, I really wish I could tell you," he said of Ryan. "I know he's in the training room getting looked at. We'll have a little bit better prognosis [on Wednesday]."
Of Turner he said, "We won't have any update on Michael Turner right now. We'll have a lot more information on Wednesday after practice."
Smith also said left tackle Sam Baker left the game because he was "banged up." Baker has been listed on the team's injury report in recent weeks with both ankle and elbow injuries and missed the Carolina game because of the ankle.
Right guard Harvey Dahl also left the game with injuries described as ankle/Achilles tendon and did not return.
