Julio Jones: No one in the League can Guard me One-on-One

Julio Jones: No one in NFL can cover me one-on-one

Sounds like he just issued a challenge to our DBs! He's probably right, but I would have kept my mouth shut...

*burp*

ya.....they said the same about Antonio Brown

don't worry, the pats won't try to cover him 1 on 1

 

[archstanton543]

That's okay. That's why we'll have him double or triple covered.

 

[VrabelJr]

Silly Julio. We already know that, and, no, you're not going to bait us into give you 1on1 coverage. Just be glad you play in 2017 and not in Pre-2004 rules where CBs were actually allowed to play defense.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Well I admire his bravado though this might not be the week to spout your mouth. Butler is very motivated and now a tad more so.

 

[Brit patriot]

If this is a challenge to get someone to be daft enough to try and cover him one on one, it will fail. We will deal with him like Hilton and Brown

Aqib Talib says hello, Julio.

 

[qbno12]

I hope he has 150 yds and they lose by 20+ points

This warning is about three or four days too late. Falcons players have been woofing for about that long now, beginning with Freeman (I believe he was the first). They have jackets and everything . . .

 

[scott99]

He is right, Most CBs have trouble covering him 1 on 1. BUT, just like with Brown, Pats will have a corner with safety help. Still think he might get 100 yards, maybe more if the Pats take a big lead (though I personally think it will be a close game).

In this century, the ground in the Patriots' wake is littered with guys who proclaimed that. Yawn.

Too bad you're not a basketball player, Julio.

Watch the toe jam on that big toe, Julio.

 

[Marqui]

Aqib Talib says hello, Julio.

Talib didn't cover Julio one on one.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Sooooo... he is going to cry about cover 2 after the game isn't he?

 

[The Brandon Five]

"The fact that you are talking about it means you're not"

 

[patfanken]

Well he's probably right. At least no one the Pats can guard him one on one. He is just a physical mismatch for our secondary. HOWEVER - he can be covered. Butler can cover him well enough to make sure Ryan has to throw very accurate passes to make completions. Double teams CAN cover him, and the Pats will drop 7-8 people 99% of the time which will make double teaming him on every play possible.

Actually when you think on it. Given an accurate pass, and the way the rules are in place, EVERY decent wide receiver can't be covered one on one, again, as long as the pass is accurate. So what exactly is Julio trying to say.

LOL

ohh man I love all these comments coming out of the Falcons players...

because you know what JJ (and i do love him)...what you do in the game is really insignificant

patriots players and fans care about only one thing, having a higher score than the falcons team, regardless if that means you end up w/ 0 yards and 0 TDs or 500 yards and 5 TDs

 

[Raymond]

..........So what exactly is Julio trying to say.

He's saying he's found his own horn and he wants to blow it.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

He's arguably the best receiver in the game right now and he should take the field feeling that way. I'm sure if you asked the Patriot backfield, they'd wholeheartedly agree.

However, he should let other people or his play do his talking for him.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Talib didn't cover Julio one on one.

I wasn't talking about the match-up this season.
