Thank you! Thank You! Thank you! I have been fighting the urge to join TideTV to watch that catch. WOW!.

1) I’m glad our receiver can be that awesome, but
2) I hate seeing a DB blow a tackle and then see another one get stiff armed by a receiver.

That is Marquis Johnson getting burnt for the TD (no surprise), and Rashad Johnson getting the stiff arm.

Great play by Julio, no doubt, but dig JP throwing a bullet over the outside shoulder 35-40 yards downfield! I’ll take more of that, please.

Julio Jones, thats all, thank you

is the stiff arm. Thats no 3rd stringer he just man handled there.

….watching this play. It’s hypnotizing.

Is it fair to say he is the best WR on the roster right now? I really cannot think of anyone else who shows the same speed and strength that Julio can show. I understand there is more to being a WR than just that, but I really think its safe to say he is going to be the #1 WR.

And one catch don’t make the season, BUT I feel there will be MANY more! (Pray for JPW and accuracy in the same breath.)

you guys at RBR could permanently set that video up in the “settin’ the mood” spot until the season starts? I’m thinking the mood got JUST right!

because all though I see an amazing throw and catch, I see many more people to cuss out:
I don’t know the blocking scheme, but WHY THE CRAP is there someone pressuring JPW so quickly on a roll out? It was a great pass, but we cannot have broken coverages this season, not with this schedule. And make freaking tackle, you have two feet that you have to push him before he goes out of bounds…

Like I said, I probably couldn’t see the good through the bad most of the time.

find it pretty impressive that he had the presence of mind to keep his knee off the ground until he got in the endzone. Most people would be down at the 2, and in the “Jumbo Package” days, that was the difference between winning and losing the game. No telling how many times we were 1st and goal inside the 5 and had to settle for a FG in Shula’s tenure.

Rashad is going to get ragged for that one. No freshman should be able to do that to a senior. No way no how!

…throw, catch, stiff arm, and TD. And I am slow to criticize the OL and the defense. We’re not watching the play from the snap, so I can’t be sure, but it looks like a few things have happened before the camera starts rolling. There appear to be at least two players behind Wilson at this point. Was it a busted play? Is Wilson improvising at this point instead of executing a designed roll out? Also, I think he is being chased by Brandon Fanney, whom I would expect to be lined up on the other side of the field. Again, I don’t know, but it should take a few seconds to reach the QB on the run on this side if you start lined up at the Jack, right? One last thing, the defender who shows up at the end appears to be #37 Robert Lester, a true freshman. It doesn’t appear to be his assignment, but his presence on the field (and #24s for that matter) seem to indicate that we’ve got a few 2nd or 3rd tier guys out there with the #1s. It doesn’t excuse the mistakes we do see — JP running for his life, Marquis playing poor coverage, Rashad getting negated by the (freakin’ awesome) stiff arm, but it might help explain some of the bad.

If you’ve got answers, fire away, I’m no rocket surgeon. And still, what you see from Wilson — and especially Jones — has to make you feel good. Real good. Matter of fact, I’ve gotta go watch that again. See ya.

It is Julio’s ability to keep his balance and both feet in bounds when RJ hit im the first time that is the most impressive. Very nice awareness and adjustment on the pass as well.

looks like he could be playing in the NFL already.
Love this guy more every day.

I predicted that JPW would be the best QB in the West. I hope I was 2 years off, and not 1.
