It’s no great surprise that when the offense begins to scuffle, it turns to Julio Jones. It’s also no great surprise that the Falcons are not as successful when Julio is the only thing really working for him, as he has been for much of the last two weeks.
That’s not a knock on Julio, who has accounted for 13 receptions, 225 yarsd, and 2 of the team’s 3 touchdowns over the last two weeks. It is a suggestion that a heavily reliance on Julio in those weeks where he doesn’t account for 75% of the team’s total offense by himself and turn Bene Benikwere into a pile of ash happens because the team doesn’t have answers, and that’s pretty troubling.
