Divison Rivals...
Expect some plays... But not game changers. The Saints will deal with Jones.

Im not really worried about Jones r White... Tony Gonzales is gone and he was a huge pain for us over the past few years....

Re: New Orleans Saints secondary ready to face healthy Julio Jones
 

Julio will probably have a big game and Matt Ryan will complete passes. Hopefully we tighten in the red zone and hold them to field goals while we score TDs. I'm assuming it'll be close for a while and well eventually pull away, winning by 10+.

Jones is a great player, understood. However, can anyone their starting TE?
Bottom line, our corners will get help, and losing Gonzalez is huge. Jones and White aren't safety valve receivers like Tony G.

Occasional? Well Ok... If by occasional you mean "almost every play he is involved in"

The only player I remember being worse was Steve Smith and we have to see that loud mouth sucker puncher later this season.

Re: New Orleans Saints secondary ready to face healthy Julio Jones
 

I think we will see a lot of the 3 safety set with KV, Byrd and Bush. Bush and KV will want to lay some punishment down. Byrd hopefully will help with over the top and go for the Ints.

Hope the defense comes ready to play. This could get intense. And I'm not quite ready for a heart attack this early in the season.

The good news is both Keenan Lewis and Kenny vaccaro showed how to shut him up last season, Kenny smacked him when he tried to get off the line

Re: New Orleans Saints secondary ready to face healthy Julio Jones
 

Don't count out Byrd out as a big hitter... He proved in the preseason, he has amazing instincts and closing speed and brought the pain when he arrived at the ball carrier

Re: New Orleans Saints secondary ready to face healthy Julio Jones
 

Typical Falcon game... the ONLY way they win is if we make numerous mistakes and they play mistake free ball.

Anything can happen in the NFL, but Atlanta needs a lot of help to win this one.

They'll keep it kinda close because they always do but I'm thinking a 6 to 9 point win for us.

Re: New Orleans Saints secondary ready to face healthy Julio Jones
 

How bout press coverage up front by the line backers and safeties and force them to keep out short. If a receiver breaks secondary should be ready in zone. Just my opinion.
