FLOWERY BRANCH — Falcons wide receiver Roddy White wanted to make one thing clear.
“I’m here for one thing and that’s to win,” said White in a phone interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday.
He was upset with a report on ESPN.com that painted him as being disgruntled with his low production this season in the new offensive scheme.

“This is nothing to get mad over,” White said. “I can’t control no plays that are being called in the huddle. All I can do is run the routes I’m supposed to run on the play and do my job. That’s all I can do.”
White had his streak of 130 games with a catch in games that he played in stopped against the Giants. He didn’t catch a pass against the Cowboys. He caught two for eight yards against he Texans.
He had four catches for 84 yards in the season opener.
White is the Falcons all-time leading receiver in yards, catches and touchdowns.
