Mike Tannenbaum pushed Stephen Ross to hire Dan Quinn as head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

Ross instead decided to continue with Joe Philbin, who was fired after their loss in London.

Quinn has had a fast start as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.

Ross has missed out on Jeff Fisher, Jon Gruden and Jim Harbaugh in the past.

Roddy White Wants More Targets, Trying To 'Bear With It'

Oct 6, 2015 1:31 PM

Roddy White has just six receptions through the first four weeks of the season and went without a catch in Week 2 and Week 3.

The Atlanta Falcons have built their offense around Julio Jones and Matt Ryan's progressions haven't led him to White.

“For me, at the end of the day, I want to catch passes,” White said, via Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com. “I’m not out here just f—ing around just to sit around to just block f—ing people all day. It’s not what I want to do. I’ve contributed to offenses for this franchise for the last nine, 10 years. It always bothers me when I go out and don’t catch any balls in a game because it hasn’t happened in so long.”

White said he'll "bear with it" and hopes there's changes.

The Atlanta Falcons don't play a team with a current winning record for the next nine weeks.

The Falcons' only games against a team with a winning record are against the Carolina Panthers. The Falcons, however, do play the Colts in Week 11 and they figure to have a winning record by then.

Atlanta has a 4-0 record to start off the tenure of Dan Quinn.
