The Facts:
In order for the Falcons' offense to soar under new coordinator Dirk Koetter, White figures that he must do less. "I know that sounds crazy, but we've got other guys out there that can play," White said. "Julio [Jones] is going to be a big part of the offense this year. Harry [Douglas] is going to do wonders in the slot. We have to maximize our talent and get the ball in everyone's hands."

Diehards Line:
White, who's set to enter his eighth season, became the eighth player in NFL history with five consecutive seasons with at least 80 catches and 1,000 yards receiving in 2011. He also led the league with 15 dropped passes in 2011. But for the offense to be more prolific under Koetter, White figures they must diversify. "There will be a lot of wide receivers out there, tight ends and things like that," White said. "We're going to try to get the ball to the backs in the screen game. We are going to try to get it in everybody's hands."
