    Falcons coach Mike Smith acknowledged that Jamaal Anderson, the eighth player taken in the 2007 draft, is in a fight for his starting position. Defensive end Chauncey Davis, who re-signed with the team during free agency, is Anderson’s chief competitor. “That’s accurate to say,†Smith said Monday when asked if Davis was fighting for Anderson’s spot. “We made a commitment to Chauncey in the offseason. We think that you’ve got to have rotational players. You’ve got to have guys that are cross-trained.†Davis signed a four-year, $14 million contract.
