Falcons Ratings

What you all think?

Julio Jones with the 57 awareness and 69 route running rating?

Those seems a little low to me, but he'll get his due as the weeks go by.

Jacquizz Rodgers only coming in with a 84 speed rating, too? There's no way he's slower than Michael Turner. He's got 97 acceleration, so that's a positive. But there's no way his top end speed is slower than Michael Turner's.

Grimes and Robinson in the secondary should be sufficient.

^^^ just my thoughts

Turner is faster than Rogers, so the stats make sense cause he's a shifty back that gets to top speed quite fast.

I'm surprised to find that 'Quizz's 40-time was a 4.63. Turner's was 4.51 when he was a rookie. I'd be willing to bet Turner's is slower than 4.63 at this point, though.

I'll be honest...didn't know 'Quizz was pushing 200 lbs. Thought he was more of the 175-180 lb scat back. Now that I know he's 200 lbs, and only going to get bigger on an NFL lifting regimen, he may see some regular touches in my backfield rotation, rather than being a 3rd down back.

Nonetheless, I will probably utilize some Shotgun Split Flex with Tony Gonzalez in the slot, Roddy White on his own at flanker, and Julio Jones as the split end on the same side as Gonzo; Norwood and 'Quizz in my backfield.

Norwoods not on the team anymore

My split slot will be JJ in the slot Roddy as the split end and Harry Douglass as the flanker. Yes there is a reason why gonzo isnt in the line up lol

Snelling as the FB and HB will either be Quiz or Smith depending on how Quiz plays...Its smiths job to lose now

but theres no way quiz is slower than turner from in game speed , plus quiz pro day hew ran much faster than the combine

There is a good reason pro day times are a lot better than combine times. They are hand timed. Very few pro-days are electronic/digitally timed. Tenths, even fifths of a second are shaved at pro-days because of human error (starting late, stopping early, and averaging with other scouts).

I don't understand how rogers has an 84 speed, but it's like Davone Bess with an 85 speed, really shifty guys
