Arnold, I have felt for a long time that our defense's ranking was inflated. We are an extremely good run defense and have been for years. And when Aldon was going off we were a pretty good but not great pass defense. But when the pass rush slowed down, we became a very poor pass defense. We have good safeties (though you certainly wouldn't know it from Goldson today), but our corners are average. They are not god awful, but against a receiving corps like this they are just overmatched.

I said when Julio Jones came out that he was one of the three best receivers I had seen in college ball. The other two were AJ Green and Crabtree. Crab is now breaking out, but Julio Jones is just a beast. He is extremely hard to tackle, and his hands have gotten more and more consistent.
