@RapSheet: No word on Julio Jones contract. But GM Thomas Dimitroff tells me its the most professional & team cognizant contract approach hes seen

@RapSheet: What strikes me about #Falcons & Julio Jones talks: How professional they are. Julio constantly praised for how focused he is on football

All the good talk on toilolo...i just don't see him as a good player..he's slow off the line and can't catch...catching the ball in practice and catching the ball with millions watching is totally different

Lets see how it goes in preseason. Lots of players really hit their stride in their 3rd year.

Think the best case scenario is him playing the role that Finn played a few years ago- 3rd down/red zone target, good blocker. 30-40 catches, 2-3 TDs.

I disagree, plus, I think the issues with his hands last season had more to do with nerves than anything else (filling in TG's shoes).

Also, when have you ever needed to be fast to be a successful TE in this league?

-- Just ask Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates and Gronkowski about how much they depend on their "speed" to win their matchups.

Team has not discussed Shembo. DQ said he does not have a comment on it.


Collins, Adams, Kevin White could all get first team looks in tomorrow's game.


Says Jake/Hawley have looked great. Doesn't seem to be concerned in terms of health.
