rld for his Week 1 performance Who could say what weighed Matt Ryan’s arm down on that wet Logan Paulsen Jersey 2019 , hot night in Philadelphia. Perhaps it was the weight of expectations, or sleeplessness and fatherhood, or an injury we could not see and could not know. Or maybe it was the weight of the Great Metal Falcon, who wished to see the season begin with a message that no one involved with the Falcons could forget.That gloomy thought loomed large in Ryan’s head as he put on his Dockers pants and Docker shoes made out of Dockers pants and Dockers shirt made out of Dockers pants and crept through the silent halls of Flowery Branch the morning after the game. He had come to throw on the practice field and to quiet the whirring in his mind, but now that he was done, he was on high alert. Too many times before, he had seen a teammate make the long walk to Dan Quinn’s weirdly Gothic office and not return. So he was only mildly alarmed and not at all surprised when Quinn spun a fuligin cape some five feet away from him and materialized like a B-movie vampire. He was prepared, in fact, and threw the football he had been holding onto with all his mightright at his head coach’s head. Unfortunately, it was underthrown.“Matt, there’s no reason to be upset,” Quinn said, his voice as thick and deep as a syrup full of stars. “I only wish to discuss your performance last night.” Ryan looked around for an escape Qadree Ollison Atlanta Falcons Jersey , but all at once the hallways melted away and were replaced with the onyx crags and upside-down towers of Dan Quinn’s cavernous office, though Ryan was certain they had not moved. Quinn was totally still.“I think you know that your performance last night was unacceptable. You made my chosen disciple Steve Sarkisian look very bad, Matt. They talked about him as though he was not fit to be heir to the Bloodstone of Ang’Rar, and I am not the only one who hears that. A price must be paid for such failure, as the Great Lord of Iron Falconing demands,” he said. Ryan attempted to bolt to the exit, but was brought down for a loss by Greg Knapp, who gibbered madly about four downs. “Look, you’ve got two small children,” Quinn said, his bald pate gleaming with a sickly sheen of sweat. “So we’re only going to sacrifice you a little.” “How does that even work?” Ryan asked, his voice quavering. “A sacrifice implies death.” “Yeah, but it’s like...a small death Color Rush Qadree Ollison Jersey ,” Quinn said, nonchalantly. “You’ll be back in time for Week 2, though I cannot promise you will return the same man. Those of us who have crossed over often bring back a dark shadow that clings to the mind, but that’s nothing to worry about.” “Okay, but you should know that everyone recognizes this was just a fluke for me,” Ryan said bravely. “Their eyes will turn to you and your coaching staff sooner or later, and they’ll ask why we can’t punch it in from five yards out. There’s only so many men you can throw away before the gaze turns to you. That winged pile of scrap metal can’t save you forever!”Quinn stared at Ryan with sunken eyes and then pulled a cord next to him, plunging Ryan stylishly and comfortably into the void below. Then he sat in his comically oversized throne, cloak enveloping him. The Great Metal Falcons stared back at him, as he always did, and the two spoke of a deep darkness without speaking any words at all. At last, the iron statue broke with sensible pants on broke the silence. “When he returns from the fiery netherworld, we gotta see about getting me another pair of khakis. Talk about comfortable!”Quinn could only nod.

Cox/Getty ImagesJulio Jones is a big-game player who’s consistently stepped up for his team in the biggest moments. A wide receiver who’s had a game of 180 receiving yards and two touchdowns in an NFC Championship Game on two separate occasions, and someone who made THE play to win the Super Bowl (until that was undone by an unwillingness to run the football immediately afterward).We’ve known for a long time that Jones is one of the most clutch players in football; now the rest of the league is taking notice. Pro Football Focus graded him out as the best wide receiver in the fourth quarter of one-score games last year.The situational stats compliment PFF’s assessment of Jones in clutch time (that’s what we’ll describe as in the fourth quarter and within seven points from here on out) — 424 of Jones’ league leading 1,677 receiving yards came in the fourth quarter of one-score games in 2018. His average yards per reception also skyrocketed to 22.3 in said scenario, while his percentage of receptions which went for first down was an astonishing 89.5% (17 of his 19 receptions went for first downs).Julio consistently found a new gear in the fourth quarter in general, last season. Out of all four quarters, he tallied the most receptions (36), yards (666), touchdowns (three), catches of 20+ yards (nine — with eight of them coming in one-score games), catches of 40+ yards (two), and first downs (29) in the fourth quarter.Even when comparing Jones to the second player on PFF’s 4th quarter list, New Orleans’ Michael Thomas, there really isn’t much of a comparison. In clutch time Youth Qadree Ollison Jersey , Thomas tallied 236 receiving yards, two catches for 20+ yards, and 12 first downs. Respectable numbers for sure, but all are dwarfed by Jones’ figures, despite the fact that Thomas had 20 receptions to Julio’s 19 in that same scenario.To be fair, Thomas did score more touchdowns (four to one) in clutch time, but his average yards per reception was nearly half of Julio’s (11.8 ypc against 22.3 ypc) and the 60% of catches which went for first downs pales in comparison to Jones’ 89.5%.Aside from touchdowns, Julio actually beat Thomas out in every major statistical receiving category in the entire fourth quarter: total yardage — 666 to 364; yards per catch — 18.5 to 10.1; first downs — 29 to 20; first down percentage — 80.6% to 55.6%; catches of 20+ yards — 9 to 3; and touchdowns — 3 to 5. It should be noted that each player had exactly 36 receptions in the fourth quarter in 2018.Thomas did also add three receptions for 38 yards in overtime periods in 2018, which is one fewer reception and two more yards than he had in the entire NFC Championship Game, which also went to overtime. Having an opportunity to add to his overtime numbers (and potentially make it the Super Bowl) with the Saints getting the ball first, Thomas instead flailed his arms looking for a flag in a very unclutch moment where Drew Brees was intercepted.What a player does with the game on the line is what sets him apart as one of the greats. No wide receiver in football did more in clutch time in 2018 than Julio Jones.
