FLOWERY BRANCH – The Falcons are at the halfway point and still have not integrated the franchise's all-team leading receiver, Roddy White, into the offense.

White, who turned 34 on Monday, has 16 catches for 210 yards and one touchdowns. He’s on pace for 32 passes and 420 yards and two touchdowns.

White caught 29 passes as a rookie in 2005 and 30 in 2006.

From 2007 to 2014, averaged 88.2 catches per season. He peaked with 115 catches in 2010.

White met with coach Dan Quinn earlier in the season to discuss his role in the offense.
