"Josh Norman has not seen a guy on Julio Jones's level"

The general consensus among pregame shows is that Jones is the best receiver in the NFL (I disagree, but admit that he is pretty damned good). Harrison even calls him the leagues #1 receiver. If that is the case, the logic would dictate that it would be impossible  for Norman to face anyone on his level.

The more important fact is this...Julio Jones has not faced a CB on Josh Norman's level!

Fug Rodney Harrison!

heh, the point of this thread is that Norman has faced Jones numerous times.

And of course if you have a Julio Jones, who leads the league in receptions, you're not gonna be on a 5 game losing streak. Just like if your leading WR is tied for 81st in receptions there's no way you'll be 12-0.

Last Dec. those 4 receptions Jones had were crucial to their successful passing game of 260 yards (and a total of 3 points), while our total receptions (10) contributed to our poor performance in the passing game and a disappointing 34 points.

So stat wise, it's clear that having the best receiver in the game means everything when it comes to a successful season.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
