Yeah it's a blue print to slowing him down but as he showed against San Diego the week before it won't stop him.

This week, after forcing it to him once and getting picked off I think Matt understood he couldn't keep going to that well so freely. Julio often from what I could see was being double or even triple covered. That 30 yard pass he caught was into a tight looking 3 man zone safety on top corner looked like he was playing man the. Took a zone and there was another defender very close by. Julio showed he understood the field there though and made the right move.

However on that sack Matt took where it looked like he was pumping. That was on Julio. He broke to the corner from where he was in field when he should have posted up in the seam. There was an easy window there. Matt was about to throw it saw where Julio went and pulled it down.

But yeah I don't really think you can stop Julio affecting you if he's on the field. If you are that worried about him to do what teams have fine to cover him. You are letting him beat you by giving other receivers those match ups. Thing is teams think Jones is the only explosive element to our offense and so if you want to limit how fast we score limit him. I think this week showed differently that you will get burned seven ways till Sunday ends. Thing is even with all of that he still came close to making one hell of a play. Part of his maturation will be that he always makes those plays.

I expect a good game for him next week. I think it's in the books. What we haven't done for a while is throw him those short routes and let him run. And I think that is one way to get him back into the swing of things in terms of production.
