The All-Julio Team


Recommended Posts

Some players are just different...different in a good way.  A refreshing way.  These guys simply let their game do the talking.  I call them members of the All-Julio team.  Our Falcons have two such superstars in a Julio & Grady.  Members of the All-Julio squad are humble, intelligent and superstars.  I am going to add another name to the list: Derrick Henry.

So who else would you place on this list?
 

The back and forth between Earl Thomas (a **** talker) and Henry was hilarious.  And I still have no clue how ET made the Pro Bowl ahead of the McCourty.  DM is a better player and has been for a few years now

BALTIMORE — Derrick Henry talks softly but carries a big load, both figuratively for the Tennessee Titans and also on his titanic tailback's frame, listed at 6-3 with 247 foreboding pounds.

So it probably squares that his message Saturday night to the Baltimore Ravens' Earl Thomas was understated even though Henry ripped off 195 rushing yards, including a 27-yard burst off a cutback in the second quarter — punctuated by brutal stiff-arm of the star safety that put Thomas into a spin cycle after he tried to ride Henry out of bounds.

"I just said, 'Good to see you, Earl. Good to see you, man. Hopefully we can do this again,' " Henry said after Tennessee's stunning 28-12 upset of top-seeded Baltimore.

Of course, Thomas set himself up for this. Asked about Henry on Tuesday after the back had run over the Patriots for 182 yards in the wild-card round, Thomas replied: "Guys didn’t seem too interested in tackling him. I think our mindset is a little different. We’re gonna try to tackle him,

 

In response to Thomas comments. "Some guys like to say stuff to get (themselves), get their defense fired up, and I think that's what he was doing.

"And I just go play."

I might add Debo to that list, if only because he's the quietest of the superstar linebackers. Definitely wish he'd be a bit louder sometimes though.

For non-Falcons, Casey Hayward Jr. definitely makes the list as a quiet dude who balls every week. Bobby Wagner joins Debo. Von Miller and Chandler Jones at DE. Russ Wilson at QB. Jamal Adams and Justin Simmons at safety. Larry Fitz at WR for being one of the best of all time and a top 10 WR even now and humble as heck...very much like Julio. Might add others later.

Debo is the ILB on the team and Wilson the QB.  That’s five spots filled.   Adams makes 6

George Kittle. Actually begs Kyle to call run plays so he can block certain defenders.

Even Kelce has matured and gotten quiet.

I love Kittle. He was the one guy in that draft I wanted more than anything in the later rounds...it's funny thinking back to the real time mocks. Pretty sure most of us beat Dimi. Can't find the thread, just remember I was pushing hard for Eddie Jackson and George Kittle. And everyone wanted TJ Watt over Takk.

Hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but in that draft it really would've been better to keep it simple.

**** Eddie Jackson is one I wanted so bad dude. Him and TJ. I never looked at Kittle so I had no idea about him.

I just think if your going to have an all julio team it should be a list of proven players.maybe 6 years or more.henry is pretty new and kittle also.juilo has been on top for a long time now.ive seen to many good for three or four year players to compare them to juilo.its a disrespect to compare them or maybe its just a testament to him that he can still hang with anybody.

Funny thing is, Earl got a good hit on him a few plays before that.
