hawkeye Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 *One of the reasons the Falcons weren’t disappointed to get Julio Jones instead of A.J. Green is Hines Ward. Explanation: Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey coached Ward in Pittsburgh, and was high on Jones in part because he saw what an ultra-tough, ultra-physical, ultra competitive receiver can do for an offense. And whereas Jones will play at more than 220 pounds, Green was down to 204 for his pro day.http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/NFP-Sunday-Blitz-3374.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are superstar quality athletes and even if Jones does edge out Green this year, you can say it was because Green didn't have Matt Ryan throwing to him. As long as Julio helps this team win a championship I don't care about what Green does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulitik Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Yeah, I think the difference between Jones and Green was very minimal. Green definitely has the wow factor and being a Dawg certainly helped, I think what Green had in hands and playmaking, Jones more than compensates in raw power, speed, and work ethic. You really could have flipped a coin. I'm happy either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
