ZB Notebook 10-8-13
When it rains it pours this season in Atlanta.
The day after a brutal performance on Monday night against the Jets, word has begun leaking that star wide receiver Julio Jones may be out for the season with a foot injury.
Jones appeared hobbled briefly late in the contest last night but returned to put on a heroic performance that almost brought the Falcons a win. Apparently the injury was worse than it originally looked.
Add that to the list, which also includes several offensive linemen, running back Steven Jackson and wide receiver Roddy White. Heading into the season, the Falcons looked to me to be the easy favorite for a repeat as AFC South champs. That has been quickly eclipsed by their 1-4 record and the fast start of the New Orleans Saints.
And it would likely get progressively worse if Jones does, in fact, miss significant time. Pretty soon Tony Gonzalez could be the only relatively healthy offensive weapon Matt Ryan has left. I wonder if he is rethinking his comeback?
Coaching hot seats? (more…)
I just hope the recognition helps Buck Shaw, who had the best team other than the Browns.
