Atlanta Falcons pass-catchers continue to dream of new frontiers.
After Roddy White promised that he and Julio Jones would regain the title as the NFL's top wideout duo, Jones this week went a step farther.
"There ain't no telling," Jones told FOXSports.com's Alex Marvez. "Me and Rod -- 1,500, 2,000 (yards) ... You never know what we can do out there."
It's far from an outrageous notion in Atlanta's pass-happy offense, especially with Jones all the way back from last year's season-ending foot surgery.
Besides, there's historical precedent: Detroit's duo of Herman Moore (1,686) and Brett Perriman (1,488) came within a hair of twin 1,500-yard campaigns with the 1995 Lions. "Greatest Show on Turf" studs Torry Holt (1,635) and Isaac Bruce (1,471) nearly did the deed themselves with the St. Louis Rams back in 2000.
Jones reportedly has been "spectacular" in camp, while a healthy White proved he still had it down the stretch last year by averaging 8.6 receptions and 100.4 yards over Atlanta's final five games.
With Tony Gonzalez's enormously productive "F" tight end role all but eliminated from the offense, the Falcons are a candidate to lead the NFL in three-receiver sets. We wouldn't be stunned to see Jones and White do exactly what they plan to do.
