sean weatherspoon Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Roddy White: Best hands in NFC SouthSeptember, 30, 2010 Sep 308:15AM ET•Email•Print•CommentsBy Pat YasinskasWhich wide receiver has the best hands in the NFC South? So far this season, it’s been Atlanta’s Roddy White, hands down. Of all the receivers (and we’re not including running backs or tight ends) who have been targeted a minimum of 20 times, White is the only receiver in the NFC South that’s been perfect. According to ESPN Stats & Information, White is one of 13 receivers in the league that meet the minimum target requirement to not drop a pass yet. White has been targeted a league-high 40 times and has 25 receptions. Tampa Bay’s Mike Williams and Carolina’s Steve Smith are the only other division receivers who have met the minimum of targets to appear among the 35 receivers with the best catch percentage. Williams has a 92.3 catch percentage (12 catches, one drop) to rank No. 20. Smith has 11 catches with two drops while recording an 84.6 catch percentage, which ranks No. 31. Williams has been targeted 21 times, while Smith has been targeted 20 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki46dinah Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Smith's abilities have been muted in the face of no good QB on the roster(yet).That, and maybe Roddy has surpassed him as the superior WR in the division...its tough to say when you have the likes of Clausen/Moore throwin your way.

nolafan33 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Roddy White is also 3rd in the NFL with passes not caught at 16, and isn't ranked in the top 20 in percentage caught because he's only caught 60.9% of his targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki46dinah Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 no excuse roddy had a 1,000 yard season with harrington and leftwich at qbto be fair, he got Redman for some games at the end. Redman QB'd the majority or all of 5 games in 2007...In those 5 games Roddy went:STL - 10 catches, 146 yards, 1 TDNO - 3 catches, 75 yards, 1 TDTB - 1 catch, 4 yardsAZ - 12 catches, 141 yardsSEA - 5 catches, 62 yards, 1 TDThats 31 catches, 428 yards in only 5 games.

ScreechingD Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Is this even a legitmate question. White has been the best WR in the NFCS since 07' with Harrington and Leftwich. With Ryan its only getting better. This will be his 4th season in a row with the best numbers. Then again look who he beat last week? That is not saying much there! You had to slap the hornet's nest again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconboogie Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'll say Roddy is the most consistent....at the end of the day, that's all that matters. He sure has come along way. Honestly, I never thought Roddy would be playing at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc-man™® Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 white can go ahead and keep that seat warm for Mike Williams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintK Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 He beat the great Jabari Greer when it counted! That is 69 yards and A TD thank you. You know that project out to:16 TD and 1104 yards... U know what 149 yards and two tds comes out too? That's what lance Moore did to ur secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintK Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 what was colstons numbers against dunta?Donta didn't cover colsten the whole game. He stayed on the left. So once again 69 yards is nothing. 145 is something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsfan84 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Yeah, Lance Moore had a career game. That's a fact.Shredman was stretching it a little when he said that White was the best in the NFC. Statistically, he is thus far this season though.

falconsfan84 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I don't think its a tretch at all. Check the numbers the last 3+ years!Fitz 2007= 100 Rec, 1,409 yds, 10 TDs2008= 96 Rec,1,418 yds, 12 TDs2009= 97 Rec, 1,092 yds, 13 TDsTotal= 293 Rec, 3,919 yds, 35 TDsRoddy2007= 83 Rec, 1,202 yds, 6 TDs2008= 88 Rec, 1,382 yds, 7 TDs2009= 85 Rec, 1,153 yds, 11 TDsTotal= 256 Rec, 3,737 yds, 24 TDsAnd yes, I do realize that the Falcons are a run first team, and that the Cardinals are pass-happy. And I know that White had 3 different pedestrian Qbs throwing him the ball in 07. The stats don't lie in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
