How do you defend Julio Jones different than Beckham?

Is it going to be the same game plan? Watching the ATL-NYG game, it looked like they use Julio on slot screens a lot more than NYG do for Beckham.

If you can keep JJ's total under 100 yds, great chance to win as he like ODB is their only big time weapon. He'll catch about 10-12 balls with the quick hitters but don't allow YAC.

The best bet is to get to what's his name. Vanilla Ice or something like that.

Believe it or not, you have to jam him at the beginning of his routes so the timing is off. Similar to Carolina.

He's the main thing I'm worried about. Hope they gameplan for him well...

The Falcons have no running game at all, so it will be simple enough to shadow him with a Safety.

That dude is scary - he's like Dez Bryant big but can burn by you with speed - I hope our pass rush shows up more than it has thus far - I think make Ryan uncomfortable so DBs aren't chasing him all day long.

It will be tougher since they have more than 1 one receiver. Roddy is still a good receiver and Hankerson isn't bad either. We must get pressure on Ryan or it could be very tough.

Bracket him underneath and over the top with a safety. Julio is more like Dez in that he is big and very strong compared to how OBJ plays. (mainly body control and speed while Dez and Julio are size, strength, and body control, though Julio is pretty damn fast too)

Good thing Roddy White is clearly starting to decline.
