The WRs need to pick up the pace for the Atlanta Falcons

Found October 25, 2011 on Falcons Locker:
PLAYERS: Roddy White,  Julio Jones,  Harry Douglas,  Eric Weems
TEAMS: Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons were hoping for more explosive plays out of the WRs in 2011, but it hasn’t happened yet.  Roddy White is leading the way out of this bunch with 39 grabs for 425 yards (10.9 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  He is still an excellent possession receiver, but he doesn’t get down the field a whole lot.  Rookie Julio Jones was supposed to be the deep threat of the Falcons.  He has caught 25 passes for 358 yards (14.3 avg) so far this year and he has yet to catch at TD pass.  Harry Douglas has caught 17 passes for 199 yards (11.7 avg) this year as the Falcons continue to wait for him to step up.  Eric Weems has been so busy on special teams that the Falcons aren’t using him on offense as the has only caught 1 pass for 4 yards.  If the Falcons want to get back to the playoffs in 2011, these guys need to step up.

Buccaneers Lead The NFL In Dropped Passes

Although no Buccaneers wide receiver alone leads the NFL in drops, that award would go to Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White, but as a team the Buccaneers do lead the NFL in dropped passes. Now if there is anything good to take away from this, which there probably isn’t, the Bucs are not alone on top of the dropped pass mountain. The Bucs are now in a three way tie with...

Roddy White responds to Suh

Via Pro Football Talk  |  October 24, 2011

Time To Buy In To The Falcons

Via The Penalty Flag  |  October 25, 2011
The Atlanta Falcons 23-16 win over the Detroit Lions may be the turning point to their season. Not only did they continue to go back to last season’s formula of using Michael Turner’s running (27 carries, 122 yards) to set up Roddy White’s receiving (5 catches, 52 yards, TD), but they also proved they could beat a good team on the road. The Lions are a legitimate...
