Official Atlanta Falcons Thread

[Aso]

So much hype surrounding Julio Jones yet I haven't heard a thing about A.J. Green since he was drafted. Weird.

Look what team he's on. :laugh:

That is because Atlanta is a hype machine and Cincy is not.

Atlanta however, can't get any better playoff positioning then they had last year. So I have no idea what could get them over the edge. I think they are trying to build a colts esque team, with a stacked offense and a below average defense.

I wouldn't call it a below average defense at all. If William Moore continues to improve like he did last year, and Peria Jerry/Sean Weatherspoon are both back to full strength from their injuries. Not to mention the new presence of Ray Edwards, allowing Kroy to go back to the rotational role which he can flourish in. Average D at worst.

Hype machine? These are players talking about Julio, not the media. Maybe if AJ had more leaders and a QB around him you'd hear about him. Ocho leaving doesn't help either. Also I the addition of Julio was to help to take pressure off of Roddy and TG and add more explosive plays to the offense, which they were close to dead last in. Has nothing to do with a "Colts esque" team. And I'm sure the defense will improve, We didn't really lose anyone on defense so the chemistry will still be there.

Same players that voted on NFL Networks top 100 right?

Yea... about that...

[Point Blank]

No one took AJ under their wing from day 1 like Ryan did with Julio.

Huh?

[Bmore]

Huh?

You were saying the players have been saying Julio is a stud and has been doing great.

The players have already proven that they don't know shit. By voting on the top 100 and totally failing in doing so.

and btw Atlanta is a far larger then cincy as far as city/media/hype and that makes a difference.

Nothing against Julio, but I'd even go on a whim and say that AJ Green will have better stats then Julio this year, solely because he will be the only weapon in Cincy, so who else will they go to?

[Point Blank]

I dont get what the whole voting thing has to do with players on the team saying he's been a stud so far in camp. Tony Gonzalez doesn't know shit? :noidea:

I'm not really expecting Julio to have killer stats, not really worried about that. I just hope he can contribute to the team from the get go.

Seen this on the Bengals front page.. They're saying the same shit about AJ..

Reynolds is really getting the reps at Harvey's old spot. Our right side is MASSIVE. Clabo is 6'6 330+ and looks small next to Reynolds, lol.

[j.hen]

We signed Snelling to a one year deal. Also Mike Johnson was diagnosed with a concussion so it looks like Reynolds has a leg up in the battle for Harvey's spot. I think the coaches were leaning towards Reynolds anyways.

What will his teammates say? He is a bum? He wasnt worth the price of admission? Not saying he is or isnt but be serious fool.

Well I mean if Julio wasn't balling out in camp and learning the offense as fast as he has his team mates wouldn't lie and say he was...
