Title: Julio Jones carries Atlanta Falcons Post by: Catch Prothro on September 15, 2013, 10:36:28 PM Quote Former Foley High football standout Julio Jones matched the biggest game of his professional career in leading the Atlanta Falcons to a 31-24 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2013/09/coastal_alabama_nfl_report_jul.html#incart_river_defaultThe Atlanta wide receiver caught 11 passes for 182 yards and one touchdown. The former Alabama star's touchdown reception came in the first quarter on an 81-yard play, the longest of his NFL career. Video of Julio's play was in the halftime report during later games.

I'll take a fantasy loss with Bama and the Saints at 2-0. Title: Re: Julio Jones carries Atlanta Falcons Post by: Jamos on September 16, 2013, 06:16:46 AM Julio is a player!! #+
Title: Re: Julio Jones carries Atlanta Falcons Post by: bamaphil on September 16, 2013, 06:38:32 AM The only downside to the machine that Saban has built at Alabama is that as a Saints fan I now have divided loyalties. Last week when the Saints played the Falcons (no love between those two teams) I had mixed feelings every time Julio touched the ball. This morning, same thing with Mark Barron. He made some big plays, and had one pass interference call, in a close game. I wanted the Saints to win, but at the same time I was happy to see Barron playing well. I just can't root against Bama players even when they're hurting my Saints.

I just can't root against Bama players even when they're hurting my Saints. That is just one reason that I don't watch the NFL... I can't stand to have to pull for both teams because of former Bama players playing for each team...Title: Re: Julio Jones carries Atlanta Falcons Post by: Catch Prothro on September 16, 2013, 08:51:54 AM The only downside to the machine that Saban has built at Alabama is that as a Saints fan I now have divided loyalties.

Julio is turning into the superstar we expected, and I am have no problems rooting for the Falcons -- but I've been to both Saints and Falcon home games. |
