The Facts:
There has been no official declaration that Warrick Dunn would start over second-year player Jerious Norwood, but HC Bobby Petrino said Thursday that Dunn's experience -- especially key nuances like blitz pick-up and pass protection -- give him an edge.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Journal-Constitution staffer Steve Wyche, Dunn's delayed participation in training camp while recovering from back surgery left Petrino wondering how best to use the 10-year veteran in the Falcons' new scheme when Dunn returned. After less than two weeks of practice, Wyche advises readers that Petrino has seen enough not only to begin to figure out how to use Dunn but also to determine that Dunn could be the best fit to start at tailback. Again, it remains to be seen if that's how it plays out. But the assumption that Jerious Norwood is going to carry a vast majority of the load seems increasingly unrealistic.
