Matt Ryan has looked terrible lately and the Falcons as a whole just look lost as a team. A lot of people are blaming offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan for the lack of production from the offense.
Julio Jones was asked why he hasn’t been targeted in the red zone more and here is what he had to say.
“I just go out there and just do what I’m told to do,” Jones said. “If we’re getting those looks, I think they’ll call those plays. But I don’t know. I don’t know what we’re getting down there. I don’t know what the thinking is as far as if we’re going to throw the jump balls or if we’re going to run the ball or whatever look we’re getting down there. We practice throughout the week throwing jump balls, throwing fades, throwing all these little things. But when the game comes, you never know what’s going to come up.”
That is a politically correct way of saying throw me the damn ball.
