Roddy White is the second Falcons player to make an appearance on NFL Network's Top 100 Players of 2013 list, coming in at number 39, and he was in their studio to discuss his selection live. You can, and should, watch the whole segment on their website. The list, voted on and determined by players, serves no other purpose but to provide a reasonable understanding of how players are viewed by their peers, and with just seven other receivers (one of whom is definitely Des Bryant, who came in at 35, and another is probably Julio Jones, who has not yet appeared) reportedly on the list bet...

Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White was voted the 39th best player in the league on the NFL Network’s countdown of the Top 100 players of 2013. Of course, that didn’t sit well with Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman, who came in at No. 50 on that list. Sherman and White jawed at each other during the Seahawks NFC division round game at Atlanta. Sherman played well against White. But the Atlanta receiver did manage a 47-yard touchdown where he appeared to beat Sherman on a skinny post, although it appeared to be a Cover 2 look where safety Kam Chancellor had … Read more »

Terry Robiskie has been the Falcons' receivers coach for the last five season now. You can quibble with how the Falcons have developed some of their receivers, but it's tough to argue that Robiskie has done anything less than a masterful job of working with Roddy White and Julio Jones. Highly respected for his work, Robiskie was eventually going to get a crack at an offensive coordinator job elsewhere, at minimum. The Falcons have taken a step to ensure he won't be poached by another team by promoting him to assistant head coach. As a veteran coach with a quality offensive mind, Robisk...

The off-season program begins in earnest with organized team activities, and we're rapidly approaching the start of those for the Atlanta Falcons. This is wonderful news. OTAs officially kick off after Memorial Day, starting Tuesday, May 28th. They will last three days, and give us real fodder for what lies ahead in position battle and tweets from Roddy White. It's an exciting time all the way around, and the most interesting thing we've had since the draft ended. Sorry, rookie minicamp. Here's what I'll have my eyes on early: How Lamar Holmes looks Whether PK Manley is actually 370 p...

Roddy White has a reputation, even among the Falcons fans who clearly adore him, for being mouthy. He's talkative on his Twitter account, he's talkative with the media at times and he's almost never without something to say. i come today not to bury Roddy White for his appearance on First Take—yeah, the one Andrew Hirsh mentioned earlier today in his Flyover—but to praise him. If you're a fan of any other team, I'm sure that appearance was insufferable and you rolled your eyes at the thought that the Falcons were the best team in the NFL. If you're a Falcons fan, though, this was music...
