Cannot believe Julio made the pro bowl over Roddy. White is still the best receiver on this team, and by a visible margin, IMO.

I agree with you, but pro bowl is just dumb anyway. I'm glad at least Julio made it and will be able to experience it.

I still disagree. Roddy has received plenty more targets than Julio one has only been more productive than him yardage wise. Julio doesn't do the little things right yet like Roddy, but he's obviously bigger, faster, stronger, and I feel has more of a knack for the spectacular grab.

Roddy received only ten more targets than Julio and had eleven more receptions. Also averaged the same per catch.

So then it comes down to whether you'd take 170 yards or 3 TDs.

BamaFalcon59 · 12-27-2012, 02:04 AM

No, it doesn't. If it's statistics based, passes to Roddy were completed at a higher rate and he was open more often. But it really comes down to Roddy just being the number one target on the team, and that's evident during crucial situations.

Meh, watching the games it appears to me Julio is the guy for the most part, other than no huddle where I'd say Matt trusts Roddy more than Julio at the moment. This will only become more evident in the upcoming years. This isn't a knock on Roddy either, but Julio started to become the guy towards the end of last year when Roddy was slumping. I'm really happy to see Roddy is back on track and they both had fantastic seasons.

Roddy is still ahead of Julio by quite a bit IMO. Route running, getting open and making the tough, clutch catches. Many times this year I can remember Julio dropping passes.

Julio is going to be great and is more athletic etc. But right now Roddy is the better WR.

Halsey · 12-28-2012, 12:25 AM

Roddy may be a little better overall, but Julio appears to me to be the guy that scares defenses a little more. I think of Julio as being the guy on the Falcon's offense that defenses focus on containing the most.

Hell yeah, we fear Julio a lot more than White.
Julio is a faster Larry Fitzgerald.
White is great too, but he doesn't possess that scary speed or size that Julio has.

I predict your first playoff game is going to be hosting Seattle by the way. A nice draw for you IMO as they, and Wilson, are not nearly as good away from the comfides of their loud home stadium, and I see Tony getting his first playoff win ever.

Bosanac01 · 12-29-2012, 10:13 PM

Not sure what to expect tomorrow. Hopefully everyone play and no injuries occur.

Bosanac01 · 12-30-2012, 02:32 PM

Too many guys getting hurt today. This is not what you wanna see.

dunagan15 · 12-30-2012, 09:31 PM

well today was awful is every way. We played the starters the entire game, we lost, 3 key defenders are banged up. Bleh

Bosanac01 · 12-30-2012, 09:44 PM

Matt Ryan also took a few good licks. Absolutely horrid last game of the season. Hopefully everyone is back healthy for the play-offs.

dunagan15 · 01-02-2013, 02:08 PM

Great news today. Koetter staying here in Atlanta.

He's had a solid year overall, excited to have him back. Hopefully we actually put up some numbers in the play-offs this time.

BamaFalcon59 · 01-06-2013, 07:18 PM

We're going to tear the seagawks up.

we don't tear anyone up. It will probably be a very close game, but its a great match up for us. I like our chances to finally win a playoff game.

dunagan15 · 01-06-2013, 10:50 PM

The Seahawks are the team out of the 3 that I didnt want to play. With Lynch and Wilson I see us having trouble stopping the running game.

They have arguably the best defense in the NFL and by far the best secondary to match up with our physical recievers. If we can't establish a running game (we havent all year) Idk if we are going to be able to just throw on them all game.

Lets hope we show up and finally get a playoff win, once we get 1 doors are wide open then and the monkey is off our back.
