He's not. So you should argue it. But they are close. Julio has games where he does nothing, though. Brown rarely does.
Yeah, every time the ball goes to Julio good things happen. But there are long periods when it doesn't go to him. I honestly don't watch enough to know if that's because of scheme, QB play, or Julio just not getting open at nearly the same rate as Brown.

Hard to properly rank Julio when it feels like this team criminally underuses him for 10+ games a season. On talent and potential alone, there's a real case no one in the league is better. In actuality, Antonio has been a much better player for most of their recent seasons.

Julio had 3 touchdowns this year, and one of them was thrown by Mohammed Sanu. He only has 43 td's in his 7 year career.

Neither of those stats have anything to do with how good Julio is, and how bad Matt Ryan is, and how poorly they call plays/coach in Atlanta. It's a fucking travesty. If he were playing in Pittsburgh, I have no doubt in my mind that his numbers would be equal to, if not better (maybe a lot better) than Antonio's.

In any case, it’s good for Atlanta that it did not follow Bill Belichick’s draft advice on Julio.

Eagles only scored 15, but they laud that defense and all they need to do is keep them out of end zone...

Let them score.
See what happens after first down. You still have a time out. If they throw incomplete play d. If they run it to the one, then give it some thought. Still one hold or false start and you're in business.

Man, this is brutal for Philly. Bruuuuuuutal, getting close to "letting them score" territory.
No. Just rely on the defense. Because Atlanta can't just win with a simple field goal - they need a TD. So you put the game on the line with the defense and hope it's enough.
