Nah, a new Julio long term deal could add to that cap space. Don't forget how NFL contracts are structured. Most big, long term deals are back-loaded, and the cap hits early in the deal are usually modest.

He's set to make 10 mil next year unless we give him a new deal which could keep his cap number where it is now for at least the next 2 years.

"Ain't nobody comin' to see you, Julio!"

I hate hearing about Jax having issues with his hamstring again, but even if he was out for an extended period, I feel confident with Rodgers, Freeman, and smith will be able to handle the load.
 
I'm also not surprised they're going more 4wr sets. When you don't have a receiving threat at TE anymore, it was only natural.
 
Speaking of the running game. We were very potent in running the ball during the warrick dunn era using the zone blocking scheme. With another florida state running back in Freeman who seems to be just as shifty. I wonder how would that work with him as a feature back in the future once Sjax is gone from the team.

I also think it might help the lineman out as well because it's not based entirely on being able to handle the man one on one in front you, in which we got beat alot at last year.

I don't like that 4 WR set shit. I'd rather the squad go back to the pre-Julio era. A big ass blocking FB and blocking TE. Pass the ball to Roddy on 3rd down.

We went 13-3 that season. Our problem was that we were not explosive enough to keep up with the playoff caliber teams. We are now..... I thought that's why we drafted Julio. To be explosive when we needed to be. Not try to become the dam Rams(Greatest Show On Turf).

Go back to the Turn & Burn style offense then switch it up to the explosive 4 WR sets when necessary. Roddy will give us 3 more solid years as a #2. We can sign somebody to replace him later. Make the trenches strong.

For the next 3 years only draft O-linemen and D-linemen in the 1st 2 rounds. Stay aggressive with improving the O-line and front 7 like we were this offseason. The skill position players are set. Fuck that finesse shit.

Truthfully, I don't believe our O-line is strong enough for a 4 WR set yet. The line has improved but not enough for no help from a TE or FB. Hawley is serviceable but should be a backup. Blalock has declined every season. Baker plays okay every other season. Mathews is a rookie.

I agree. That 10 shit puts too much pressure on the O-line and Matt Ryan.
 
1. Zone blocking scheme worked because of the bootleg threat (Vick)

2. 4 WR sets with that line will turn Matty Ice into David Carr.
 
We ran plenty of 4wide sets since Julio came. (Some with Tony G out in the slot.) I just don't wanna see it too much on non-passing downs.

 
Didn't see this coming.

The Atlanta Falcons drafted Peria Jerry with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. Five years later, Jerry has decided to retire.

The team announced the decision on Thursday, which comes as a surprise because Jerry was coming off his best season. He started 14 games last year and recorded 3.5 sacks, both career highs.

Jerry will go down as one of the worst picks of the Thomas Dimitroff era in Atlanta, although he never really had a chance because of injuries. Jerry suffered a serious knee injury his rookie year and never quite recovered.

The Falcons beefed up their defensive line with authority this offseason, so this loss should not hurt too much. Then again, their 2010 first-round pick, linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, is also out for the year with a torn Achilles tendon.

This is a defense that needs as much help as it can get.

I don't think Jerry was going to last past the preseason anyway. I like that we'll be able to get some insight on the conversation on Hard Knocks.
