Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White doesn’t seem to be too happy with his current role on a team that he’s suited up for since the start of the 2005 season. So now, ‘I’m in the backseat and Julio’s driving, but if I get there, I don’t care who’s driving. “You’ve come just to expect something awesome”.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn speaks to an official during… Including sacks, Houston had 52 pass attempts against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, 59 against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2 and 58 pass attempts Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
January 10, 2015; Seattle, WA, U.S.; Carolina Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin (13) celebrates with running back Fozzy Whittaker (43) after he scores a touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks during the second half in the 2014 NFC Divisional playoff football game at CenturyLink Field. Even with his displeasure, White won’t approach the coaching staff to voice his frustrations but wants them to know that he has more left in the tank, per Bleacher Report. He settled for four receptions for 38 yards, which slowed his torrid pace – if only by a little. Former Pro Bowler Roddy White has just six catches for 92 yards this season. Yards and touchdowns don’t matter.
Then, it was time for the defense to get in on the scoring, thanks to Foster’s odd fumble.
The Washington Redskins (2-2) are scheduled to visit unbeaten squad Atlanta Falcons (4-0) at the Georgia Dome on Sunday, October 11.
Considering this is a new offense run by Kyle Shanahan, it’s worth wondering if the 33-year-old White just doesn’t fit in his plans for the offense.
An National Football League locker room is populated by men who are among the most physically gifted in the world.
“Opportunity is everything”, the second-year running back said. 55 of those yards came on a single reception, which likely wouldn’t have resulted in a substantial gain if not for the attention placed on Jones. In back-to-back games, White caught no passes. Pairing Reed with the big bodies upfront that the Falcons already have will make them an extremely tough team to run against in the coming weeks. “He’s a freak physically, but he prepares like a freak”. “Their offensive line, they dominated Dallas upfront and they did it again (verses Houston)”.
“I like the Atlanta Falcons”, Sanders said.
Sunday afternoon’s loss to the Falcons was a definite gut punch but the staff/team have to put it behind them to get ready for the Thursday tilt with the Indianapolis Colts.
For Jones, it is just the opposite, really. “His toughness, his (ability to) finish”.
Jones does not have a weaker hand, a weaker route or even a weaker position. While he only played fifteen snaps, he flashed the ability that made him such a great chess piece for this budding Falcons defense.
As poorly as that reflects on the offense, the defense – the strength of this team – has only been so-so, maybe a smidge better.
“This is nothing to get mad over”, White said.
Jones hails from Foley, Ala., about 30 miles west of Pensacola, Fla., the same as Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler.
Jamison Crowder, Redskins (0 percent): The fourth-round pick from Duke received a game-high 12 targets in Week 4.

“He’s our starting quarterback”, Texans coach Bill O’Brien said.
