Josh Norman would have shut down Julio Jones

Norman prided himself the past two seasons on holding Jones in check. He held Jones to a combined 10 catches for 107 yards and 0 touchdowns in 2014, when Jones averaged 99.5 yards receiving per game. Last year, Jones had a combined nine catches for 113 yards when covered by Norman.
Can someone explain this spin to me?

That's actually not bad considering it's Julio Jones
Posted on 10/4/16 at 3:06 am to steeltiger17
So in four games he held him to around 55 yards a game.
Not bad. Like he said you get what you pay for

At 50 yards a game, that's an 800 yard season if he covered Julio for 16 games. That's pretty good. Much better than 300 yards in one outting

By this logic the Saints DBs are way better than Norman.
Julio had 1 catch for 16 yards.

Falcons offense is much better and much more efficient than last year

There isn't a single human being on this planet that can cover him one on one consistently. Julio is a freak of nature.

He was moving so damn fast during one of those TD runs on Sunday. Unbelievable talent. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

in 4 games, Jones had 19 catches for 220 yards. Yesterday he had 300 yards.

Well to be fair, the article is using an even smaller sample size by comparing Julios game yesterday to the 2 games from last year

In what 4 games? If you mean his previous 4 games against the Panthers that's wrong.
He had more than that in 2 games last year. In the only regular season loss for Carolina last year, Julio had 9 rec for 178 and 1td. He was held in check the 1st game 7 catches for 88 yds.

The Saints shut down Julio...let that sink in

The saints formula to stopping Juilo was innovative. The plan was just to leave every other receiver and Runningback wide open instead

Josh Norman was a product of a stellar front 7 last year for the Carolina defense. A stellar front 7 can make even the most basic corner look like an all-pro (not saying Norman is basic). He just benefited from a great defensive scheme. It's a pretty simple formula. less time for a QB to make decisions = more opportunities for the QB to throw ducks.
Look at the Baltimore Ravens Superbowl defense. You can't name a corner from those teams, but you can name Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. They were in the QBs face so fast that they had no time to make reads and were just chucking up passes. Adversly, even an elite corner will not be able to contain a WR if the defensive front 7 is below average. When a WR finishes his route is when he becomes most dangerous. Making up things on the fly while the QB has all day is a recipe for disaster.

No kidding. He's an unbelievable athlete, built like a tank and can run like a frickin deer.

Atlanta also ran for 300 yards. After their first drive that resulted in the muffed punt, Atlanta didn't punt until late in the 4th.
I mean so we shut him down, but they moved the ball at will.

He's talking about 2012 Ravens. Ed Reed wasn't on the 2000 Ravens
