If these numbers look familiar, it’s because they are similar to what the Falcons got out of Roddy White, Julio Jones and Tony Gonzales in 2012. Those 3 absolutely dominated the league even with Michael Turner who was on the down slope. I believe the Falcons have a corps in Jones, Ridley and Hooper that can absolutely dominate in a similar manner because they each feed off one another. I believe Sanu will be his normal steady self and he along with Hardy will make life easier for Ryan on 3rd downs and in the end zone.
