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

[Soul_Survivor88]

As Edelman says "If you have to talk about it ....".

Yeah, but in this case, Julio is right. He is that good. Same for guys like Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, and Gronk, etc.

Let's see - we destroyed a Cincinnati team that had Green, Sanu, M. Jones and Eifert - along with Bernard in the backfield. Even granting that Ryan is better than Dalton - people are acting like we have never shut down a team with similar talent before. Our defense has been playing with attitude and swagger that has been missing for years. I seriously think we can hold them under 20 points.

Here's their thread on the same thing.

"Can anyone in the league guard you one on one?"

 

[Keep Up With The Joneses]

I can't argue. Playing 1 on 1 CB in the NFL is about the hardest thing in sports. Add a receiver of JJ's caliber and it becomes even more true.

Luckily, the Patriots don't win with individuals, they win because their team is better than your team.

Someone should stomp really hard on his toe to slow him down. Just make sure the painkillers are nowhere to be found.

Hope this isn't the game where no Collins or Jones comes back to haunt us....

Before Collins left this team had 9 turnovers on defense. In their last 6 regular season games they had 14 and have had 5 in the playoffs.

My confidence in the Pats D increased a lot after watching the Pittsburgh game. They are patient, smart, tough and hard hitting.

I'm not qualified enough to say whether Collins was hurting this team because of "freelancing" or not but I do see the improvement of this D after he left.
