NeonDeion Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21002860/julio-jones-atlanta-falcons-ready-go-says-hip-ok Edit: I see some people thought this would be Vic. I do apologize. Julio is just my favorite so I got excited he would be back and not miss a game due to his hip Edited October 14, 2017 by NeonDeion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caponine Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I hope so , gets banged up every year. Stay strong you man. But slow it down just little. You want to be able to walk at 50 my man. Keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expert Poster Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 "I'm not worried about it. I could care less about a touchdown. We're 3-1 right now. Right now, it's 0-0 for this quarter (of the season) for us. Whatever defenses give us, we're going to take. If that's me going out there and not scoring and we're still winning games, that's fine with me.'' It's so awesome having an elite wide receiver who isn't a diva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad we don’t have OBJ or Brown or Owens or Moss. Julio might be the most humble hall of famer that ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His major issue is his foot. People give him crap for injuries but he plays through them a lot. I think he’s actually a lot less injury prone than CJ was.

When he gets in his late 30's/early 40's that arthritis from those injuries are gonna start setting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of basketball players have problems. Exactly! They're not out there playing tiddlywinks. JJ plays hard, and as a result, gets tackled hard by multiple players most everytime he touches the ball. It's asking a lot of a guy like Julio to not to be injured by the physical beating that he puts on himself and the beating he takes from taking on gang tackles like he does.

Snafu Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I dont get too upset w/ his injuries. A guy of his size shouldnt be physically able to move the way he does. It defies all laws of nature and physics. It's bound to manifest in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2_legit_2_legit_2_quit Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Seems like he is getting hurt a lot more often. Hope his body isn't breaking down on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons Fan MVP Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I can't wait for my boy Julio to get some Touchdowns. I hope somebody tries to guard him one on one so he can light them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to be able to walk at 50 my man. Keep up the good work Agreed. I've been saying for a few years now that the way Julio plays, his career could be wrapped up by 31. He plays so hard and so physical that eventually it's going to take a toll on his body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't undervalue the "antics." Those are a big deal. Julio is the ultimate teammate and brings no drama to table at all. Beckham to me is the most overrated receiver in the NFL. Top 5: 1. Julio 2. Brown 3. Green 4. Hopkins 5. Evans Beckham may have more skill that some of the guys listed above, but I would take all of them in a heartbeat before Beckham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
