Julio jones

[Steelwolf]

Do we see him this week or is he going to be out? I have zero faith in this secondary at the moment and could be the biggest factor of we win on Sunday

[Steelhere10]

Who knows until Wed.

As of now - game time decision:


Julio Jones will be a game-time decision this week when the Atlanta Falcons face the Pittsburgh Steelers.

[Discipline of Steel]

So if he plays, he will likely be diminished.

A lot like our secondary :HeadBanger

[Steelwolf]

I believe Douglas and Hester will step in and have a descent night, my confidence is a bit low on this secondary.

Here's to a strong pass rush to get in Ryan's face and cause him to make those mistakes!

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - Coach Mike Smith says he still expects Julio Jones to play on Sunday against the Steelers after the Falcons' star wide receiver missed his third straight practice with a hip injury.


Smith said Friday Jones has been running under the supervision of trainers. Safety William Moore (foot) worked on the side during practice and also is questionable.


Smith said, "I'm still confident" Jones and Moore will play.


Jones had 11 catches for a team-record 259 yards with one touchdown before the fourth-quarter injury in the 43-37 loss to the Packers. It was the second straight week he has set a personal high for yards receiving.


Cornerback Robert Alford (wrist) will not play.

"Decent" is like saying half pregnant. Our secondary has made stars out of rocks. A halfway decent wideout becomes a superstar.

We will see a lot of double moves on the outside with Atlanta. Unless we can cover better then we have we will be giving up some splash plays. Getting some pressure on Ryan so White n JJ can be at least contained will be a key.

ESPN just reported that Jones is OUT. I never root for a player to be hurt and generally want to see how our team handles going against the other team's best. However, I am very happy to hear this news. :tt2 :tt2 :tt2

[Jooser]

that means Hester will have his first 200 yrd game and probably score a punt return for and kickoff for a TD.....

Well, this will give Brown the opportunity to take over the receiving yardage leader spot for good!

I was rooting for him to be hurt and I am not ashamed to admit it. This is great news.

[RobinCole]

Does this mean Ike gets to play?

[Flasteel]

Hold on...NFLN just reported that no decision has been made on Jones and he will still test his hip out before the game. I thought being ruled out meant that the team had to list him as out. Guess that hasn't happened.

[Ghost]

Jones did not practice once this week. Here in Atlanta they are saying it's not expected that he will play but the have him listed as questionable which means it's a game time decision and he could at least try to give it a go.

NFLN is usually about 2 hours behind ESPN....

Ed Werder just said Julio Jones will be ruled out within the next 20 minutes on ESPN.

[RuthlessBurgher]

ESPN Fantasy Football Now just reported that Julio is officially out.

[feltdizz]

ESPN website says he is out

Mortenson just said the same thing on Countdown. This is great news.

[fordfixer]

Jones out as per Adam Schefter

[7 UP]

Ike Taylor is also out today

[bostonsteeler]

Ike Taylor is also out today

That's two positives for today -- Jones is out and their WR corps get depleted; Ike is out and our secondary improves.

Sad but true.

[WindyCitySteel]

They should prepare to score like there are three Julio Jones' playing. GB's 31-7 lead wasn't safe last week.

Don't live in your fears, if you will. Attack all game.
