Looked like a pretty obvious hold on that FG just now I think that's what Arians was complaining about

He should have let him catch the ball and then tackle him for the distance needed but that goes against the mentality of a CB. That was pass interference but with the rules, there is no way to really stop a stud WR now when they are on with the current rules

Exactly. Julio is hand checking, grabbing and pushing just as much as PP but they obviously won't call it.

How are you possibly supposed to cover someone like Julio when you are also playing under a different set of rules???

Julio Jones is shoving PP in the chest with an elbow on his break, PP recovers and makes a play on the ball... PI on us.

No surprise to hear in the pre game how Dwight Freeney has been an asset both on the field and off for the Falcons. Dude was a leader here. Even the strongest armies need good leaders

You can't. Now there are only a few WR with his talent which make the rules so apparent in favor of the offense, but there is not much PP can do unless we start getting more pressure on Ryan but he has a quick release on these plays which favor JJ excelling

Cards have the #1 D in the league, 2nd most tackles for loss, etc. so i guess they're doing OK without him.

They are only letting Atlanta play physical... they ignore offensive PI on Julio Jones, PI on their CBs on multiple plays.
