Julio Jones Rumors & News

2012 was by no means a bust for the Falcons. It was undoubtedly Matt Ryan's best campaign. It was a season where we saw Julio Jones come into his own. Despite all scientific odds, Tony Gonzalez continued to defy age, gravity, and the space-time continuum. And yet San Francisco cheated their way to a Superbowl bounced the Falcons out of the playoffs. What does that mean? It means something didn't go right. Blame is a funny thing in football. We can blame one player or one unit. We can blame one particular play. We can just blame Dave, because he's responsible for world hunger, bird flu,...

In the final installment of our series examining the draft classes of the new Falcons era, we take a look back at the most recent draft class: the class of 2012. As many of you no doubt remembered, this draft was short-changed by the trade in 2011 that landed us Julio Jones. We went into the 2012 draft without a 1st or 4th rounder. Second Round 55th pick - Peter Konz - OL - Wisconsin The Falcons entered the 2012 draft following a season of pretty terrible offensive line play. Joe Hawley struggled at center, Sam Baker was a nightmare at LT and Garrett Reynolds a revolving door at righ...

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster has edged a four-point victory in the semifinals of the Madden 25 Cover Vote. Seattle's dynamite rookie quarterback Russell Wilson joins San Francisco QB Colin Kaepernick, Atlanta wide receiver Julio Jones and new New England WR Danny Amendola on the list of beaten opponents. His next opponent is Minnesota Vikings RB, and defending league MVP, Adrian Peterson who has utterly destroyed his bracket opponents thus far. He has garnered at least 70% of the votes in each round. It will be tough sledding for Foster to advance to the Finals. Foster ha...

The Falcons as currently constructed have plenty of strong positions on the depth chart. For pure top-flight talent, it's tough to beat receiver. This a team with Roddy White and Julio Jones, two of the best wide receivers in the entire NFL. Harry Douglas is a capable slot receiver. There may be a lot of uncertainty after that, but hell, when you have those three you're in awfully good shape, particularly when you have Matt Ryan throwing them the ball. If the Falcons are going to achieve true offensive dominance in 2013, it will come on the backs of Jones and White in particular. Witho...

After beating players like Danny Amendola, Julio Jones, and most recently, Colin Kaepernick, our favorite philosopher is facing off against Seattle rookie sensation Russell Wilson in the Madden 25 cover vote quarterfinals. Click here to look at the bracket. Voting will go on until April 10th. Arian Foster is definitely on board with becoming the cover boy for Madden's 25th anniversary game; his Facebook profile is almost solely dedicated to promoting himself each round. I suppose for Foster, Facebook doesn't count as part of the "digital realm" he promised to have left last month. ...

The first round of voting has concluded for our hypothetical Falcoholic video game. Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Roddy White, Jamal Anderson, Warrick Dunn and Jeff Van Note all made it through to the second round. Also prevailing were Michael Vick, who was up against Bobby Petrino, and Chipper Jones, who was up against the New Orleans Saints. Vick actually played several years for the Falcons, as opposed to sneaking out of town after a few months, like Petrino, and even though Chipper Jones played baseball and not football, clearly most people prefer him to the Saints. Sadly for Vick and Ch...
