Forgot A.J. Green?
Yeah I guess.

He doesn't seem as dominant because Dalton has so many options with Eifert and Marvin Jones (though Jones is now in Detroit).
Green was a feast or famine kind of player last year. Four 100-yard games...and an awful lot of 35-yard games.

The way that team is set up though...with their RB committee and offense...Green is gonna get a lot of attention and probably isn't gonna put up the 1500 yard seasons that stand out.

It's true though Julio would already be a sb champ. Instead he'll never win anything in atl.
What's crazy is that in the beginning of last season...Julio Jones was on a tear...which was even more impressive since at the time Roddy White was the 2nd WR and he wasn't doing anything. So all the focus was on Jones and he still got his.

Devonta Freeman was busting out too. But then I don't know what happened.

Jones opened the year with
141 yards on the Eagles
135 yards on the Giants
164 yards on the Cowboys

then 38 on the Texans
67 on the Redskins
93 on the Saints (by the way these 3 games include zero TDs)

I think Jones hurt his foot or something but it seemed like Matt wasn't getting him the ball in the right spots.

The numbers all show that Jones was getting his targets and he had a great year.
But watching the games you would see some throws that Matt would make and it was like....dude.... :beli:

Matt Ryan had fewer TDs than Eli Manning, Ryan Tannehill, Jameis Winston, and YouLikeDat!

9 years deep too. Junk is sad. They need to restructre that contract in the biggest of ways and throw that money elsewhere.

Eastside Atl -
Matt had his worst year as a pro while Julio had his best last year. Expect some middle ground to be made on that front.

Less catches, more TDs and impact plays.
