Julio Jones - the problem child

[CRA]

That is our problem come Sunday.

555 yards the past 3 weeks. He has done so against better secondaries than ours (for all the people that will quickly reply we have Norman)

We have to win upfront IMO. BIG time come Sunday. Julio is playing the best of his career right now

Bottom line is we've got to score TD's in the red zone...Fans know it, players know it, coaches know it.

 

Julio is playing like the best player in the entire division right now no doubt, but I do think Norman played him as well in the first game as anyone has in the 2nd half of the season, so that is promising.

Meh, we've got Josh Norman.

[La Pantera]

what exactly was his stats against us last time?

[Darth Biscuit]

Defensively the front 7 have to pressure Ryan... simple as that.  Norman and Bene can play lights out, but if we give Ryan time, they will get beat.

[Mojo]

Julio will get his but Norman has been playing well against good receivers so just give him props for goodness sakes. We need tds on the board and foot to the throttle. Figuratively soles of cleats to necks. Lets go.

Norman matches up well against Julio. Did so during the last game. Its Roddy that you need to worry about. Hopefully, Bene will help with that.

Outcome of this game will be decided in the first quarter. If our dline can get pressure on Ryan, he will get that 'deer in the headlights' look again, and the game will be ours. If he gets a comfortable pocket and has time to pick us apart, it will be a long day.

6 catches for 59 yards, targeted 11 times.

I agree with that. Roddy and even harry douglas in the slot could be dangerous. Yeah Ryan isnt one of those tough qbs. He gets lit up and his fear factor escalates very quickly. Similar to Dalton in that respect.

[MadHatter]

Bottom line is that we have to get pressure on Ryan and the offense MUST be productive and put up TD's.

 

We are going to need 24-30 points to win this one.

[Peppers90 NC]

our dline will be the difference, they are playing hot right now with CJ and KK ballin out.

Yep

 

We can let him go wild on us for yardage and a TD but if we are only kicking FGs then we are dead.

So I guess we can pencil in Stewart's stats from last time?

Things change. He is playing better than at any point in his career CURRENTLY.....and will be in the dome not our grass.
