He is another Graham... Very difficult to defend, too big and too athletic... Best way to shut him down is not have two back to back three and outs by the offense.

He looks like he play another 5 years if he wanted too.

He still is scary good. I wish he didn't play for the Falcons because I want to like the guy.

even with that catch they would have had to go 55+ yards in 12 secs...

I don't like the Falcons but TBH Tony is just great...
Not alot you can do about that guy... He's loaded with knowledge and deson't seem to be getting older.

Just need to give respect where its due bro...

He can catch, but defenders need to get inside position on him. We had Jenkins on him all day, and he was just getting pushed around. Plus that's a height mismatch of epic proportions. We've shut him down before. There is no reason we couldn't do it again. Should have had a better match up on him. Hopefully they'll take this as a lesson next time we play them.

no height mismatch there

No speed mismatch either. Wilson mght be faster than Jenkins when in pads.

And it worked didn't it. That's what they should have been doing all day. You don't have to shut the guy out, but you can't let him run free either.

Well he has said he is 95% sure he is retiring at the end of the season. I have commented before that Gonzalez has made Ryan. I think if Tony does retire we will see just how good (or bad) ole skid britches really is. JMO

Yeah, with Turner declining, if he loses his tight end they will be ultra predictable. They'll have to reload, but pro bowlers and hall of famers don't grow on trees.

Got that right metal. Jones is his only hope of continuing to put up the numbers but he is learning from Roddy "push-off" White so I don't think he will be of much assistance. Ryan better enjoy the season while he can because without Tony it will be a different world. Mark my words on that.

Lost some respect for Tony on the dunk. Get your own freakin celebraiton move. Graham also elevated about 8 inches higher. He owns it.
