Falcons | More TDs for Julio Jones? Thu Sep 10, 10:37 PM
Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones has led the team in touchdown catches just once in the past five seasons, but offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter plans to create more scoring opportunities for Jones by putting him in space more often. 'I really think for Julio to get more touchdowns, it has to come on either deep throws, or it has to be stuff like slants and intermediate routes where Julio breaks or spins out of a tackle,' Koetter said.
