We need Rhodes to be the 2017 Rhodes for sure. Maybe facing up with the highest paid WR will bring out the best in him.

Julio took a pounding! I feel good that they are making him earn his money today.

And after his performance in today's game Julio still isn't happy...

Xavier looked pretty good today. He had a very nice game.

Oh well. Rhodes closed.

JULIO JONESWR, ATLANTA FALCONS
NFL.com's Tom Pelissero has reported that the Falcons and Julio Jones are finalizing a multi-year extension.The extension will reportedly make Jones the NFL's highest-paid receiver. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport added that the deal should end up at three years and be worth roughly $66 million. Pelissero noted that while there are still minor issues to work out, the deal should be done today. Jones showed some hesitation throughout the week in regards to his game status without a new contract, but those issues should be put to rest with confirmation of this deal. He's expected to be shadowed by Xavier Rhodes Sunday against the Vikings, although it's a winnable matchup against a cornerback who was significantly better in 2016-2017 than 2018.

We really need Xavier to be better this year. Seeing him get beaten a couple of times already in the preseason was not encouraging.

I don't think preseason is a accurate gauge on how he plays

Yup, but he can go soak in a bath of big bills.

Its not an accurate gauge how anyone plays, see Kyle Sloter

Rhodes played with swagger yesterday, loved it.

Yes, no penalties either IIRC. Looks like he has brought the X back in more than just his name.
