Julio Jones brought up the need for the Atlanta Falcons to communicate better on offense in a meeting with coordinator Kyle Shanahan this offseason.

"Kyle sat us down, one by one, and then talked to us as a whole, but his biggest thing is communication," Jones said. "We were everywhere (last season). Our job is to make sure we're on the same page with the quarterbacks, because Kyle, he's coaching the quarterbacks. He's coaching all of us, but if he's telling the quarterbacks one thing and our receivers coach is telling us another thing, we're going to kind of be off.

"We're going out here and we're executing properly and we're executing the right things. But if the quarterback's off and we're off ... we've got to go out there and make it come to life. That's what we just have to do a better job of. We just had another little meeting here after practice. Quarterbacks, receivers, everybody, we've just got to do a better job of communicating."

Despite some disappointment on offense, Jones caught 136 receptions for 1,871 yards and eight touchdowns last season.
