Falcons WR Roddy White: Throw Me The Damn Ball

If the Texans can keep Andrew Luck and the Colts offense at bay, this will allow an up and coming Texans offense opportunities and time to score enough to win the game Thursday night.

With Atlanta and Carolina trying to stay flawless and the Bucs and Saints looking to claw back into the race, it’s time once again to check in on the headlines from around the division. If Devonta Freeman can run against this Panthers defense I give Atlanta the edge i this game.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White wanted to make one thing clear.

Not only is Freeman emerging as a fantasy football darling, but he’s got the note-makers at the NFL’s office working overtime.

If White does want a larger role, CBS Sports reporter Jason La Canfora reported that teams have “some interest” in his services, speculating that the Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens might be among them.

White is the Falcons all-time leading receiver in yards, catches and touchdowns.

Houston finally brought him down at the six yard line. Starting outside linebacker Justin Durant is now dealing with an elbow injury sustained on Sunday, but overall Atlanta’s defense is showing signs of life under Quinn, the former Seattle defensive coordinator.

The Falcons jumped out to a 42-0 lead and were able to rest their starters in the fourth quarter. Then on their first series, after getting the ball to Arian foster on three consecutive plays, including a 15-yard pass, Mallet on his second pass of the game was intercepted by Atlanta’s Jonathan Babineaux.

“This is the National Football League”, White said. I’m struggling to envision a scenario where the Packers don’t win the NFC North and earn a first round bye. Against the Cowboys it was all Jones and Freeman, however the very next week against Houston, Jones was held to less than 5 fantasy points.

There’s still a lot of doubt about the Panthers, however, due to their underwhelming schedule to date. Is it too farfetched to think this team can earn a Super Bowl 50 berth? The Falcons and Panthers, half of the NFC South, represent a third of them. Rivera has advised his players to answer that criticism with their play on the field.

Quinn says his team prides itself on offensive balance, and it has never been more equipped to meet that goal. At the time of the initial comments, coach Dan Quinn said he “wouldn’t want it any other way in terms of the mindset and the attitude” and the topic came up during his Wednesday media session as well.

Their record says 1-3, but was that horrendous display in Atlanta an aberration or just the tip of the iceberg? Kirk Cousins completed 31 of 46 passes for 290 yards and one touchdown to lead the Redskins.

So much for Newton having nobody to whom to throw.

Jones didn’t seem anxious about his status for the game.

On the season, the Redskins average 243.5 yards in passing and 139.5 yards in rushing. Anytime there’s going to be a few extra attention sent over to another guy on our team sometimes the benefit will come back towards him.
