The best way Redskins head coach Jay Gruden describes Julio Jones -- the way he characterizes his consistent threat on every play -- is as a basketball player.
“He’s going to get his touches,” Gruden said. “He’s going to get his points.”
For the sake of the analogy, the Redskins hope the latter isn’t true on Sunday.
But of course, that kind of concession signifies just how dominant the Falcons' leading wide receiver has been through the first four weeks of the season. It also means that the Redskins' defense, which is ranked ninth in opponent’s passing yards allowed (210), will have their hands full.
