Jackson will be on Ridley and Horn on Pitts.

We are going to put our top corner on a TE?  Id wager we see Horn absolutely erase Ridley.  Jackson/Bouye handle the Gage/Sharpe.  

That leaves Pitts to take on?  uh-huh. Mr Sweet Chinn Music himself.

I think we've got plenty of answers for Matt Ryan's gang of skid marks.

Oh and they have a new center.  Matty Lice loves to fumble snaps and from shotgun.  Interesting note to watch.

Some details courtesy of Albert Breer...

- The Falcons relationship with Jones had been "strained" for years due to contract disputes

- The Ravens had been interested a while back, but dropped out after drafting a receiver

- Atlanta attempted to trade him during the draft, but nobody wanted to pay the price they were asking

- Just as many people thought, Jones didn't know he was on the air when he was talking to Shannon Sharpe

- A number of teams were interested as the calendar approached June, but interest fizzled in most places

- Despite prior claims, nobody ever actually offered a first round pick

- Also despite some speculation, the Patriots were never interested

- The Titans original offer was a conditional third that could be upgraded to a second, but they ultimately moved up as well as agreeing to take on Jones' pay for this season

When the falcons traded up for Jones, I thought they waay overpaid. 100% false, Jones ended up being one of the best WR in NFL history. He had abnormal size and skills for WR, moved like a fast twitchy 5'9 slot but was a real 6'3 230 LBs....He also overcame foot issues that I thought were going end his career in the middle. Hamstring last year and hes on the end of a elite career, still a threat tho.

He is not a top 10 all time WR. I think that is what the falcons thought they were getting. 

Smitty has more yards and TDs and we dont even know if he is going to the HoF.

Y’all heard it first from me. Said it all along, Julio to Tenn. 

The whole world was saying Julio to Tennessee, but you are so wise! You’re like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair!

A second is good value for a player of his share coming off injuries.

Exactly. The Falcons will receive a 2022 second-round pick and 2023 fourth-rounder. The Titans reportedly will also get a 2023 sixth-round pick in the trade.

Julio Jones is absolutely in the conversation for Top-10 All-Time WR.

That is laughable.  20th all time in yards, tied for 88th all time in receiving TDs. 

He is far from top 10 all time.

18th all time in yards AND HE’S STILL PLAYING AND ELITE.

You can have Henry Ellard, Chris Carter, James Lofton, Tim Brown, Isaac Bruce, etc.  All great careers.  I’ll take Julio Jones.  And again, those guys played a long time...Julio will too.

Julio is already breaking down and he is 32, its not like he has been the poster boy for staying healthy. He has 2-3 years of good production left, not really enough to jump into top 10 all time.

Oh you are taking out the TE's to make him look better?

Are you an undercover Falcons fan?

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
