The Falcons are flying high with a 3-0 start, and Roddy White was not afraid to declare him and Julio Jones a better receiving duo better than the Giants’ Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz.
According to NJ.com, White will will appear in an NFL Network interview with Cowboys great Michael Irvin on Sunday morning. In it he is asked if White and Jones are better than Cruz and Nicks.
“Victor Cruz is a lot more of a slot receiver; the big boys play on the outside,” White said.
Cruz was alerted to those comments by NJ.com and fired back at White.
“I couldn’t care less about what anybody else has to say,” Cruz told the site. “I got a ring back at home. I don’t care about what Roddy White has to say.”
One step on the way to that ring was a 24-2 win over the Falcons in the wild-card round last season. The teams meet again in Week 15 in Atlanta.
