Falcons mates say Ryan making ‘scary’ improvement
By CHARLES ODUM, AP Sports Writer
4 hours, 16 minutes ago

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP)—Matt Ryan’s(notes) teammates say the quarterback will be even better in 2009 than he was when he won widespread acclaim as the NFL’s offensive rookie of the year last season.

“By leaps and bounds,” Atlanta fullback Ovie Mughelli(notes) said of Ryan on Wednesday as the Falcons approached the end of their organized team activities. “It’s actually scary how much he’s improved and it’s only his second year. People thought he couldn’t get much better than last year.

“In the weight room, what he’s done out here, his arm strength, the way he reads plays, he’s gotten better in every aspect.”

The Falcons will have their last day of workouts Thursday and begin training camp on Aug. 1.

Ryan led the Falcons to an 11-5 record—an unexpected jump from a 4-12 finish in 2007—and a playoff spot last season. Michael Turner(notes) rushed for 1,699 yards and 17 touchdowns in his first season as a full-time starter, and Roddy White(notes) had 88 receptions for 1,382 yards.

Ryan, Turner, White and Mughelli have been joined by 10-time Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez(notes), who was acquired from Kansas City.

The Falcons, who a year ago were a popular pick to finish last in the NFC South, now look like a rising force, especially on offense.

“The thing you see out there across the board is confidence, starting with Matt at quarterback, all the way down,” said center Todd McClure(notes). “Everybody just has a different confidence than we had even last year, because we were trying to learn a new system. Now we have a year under our belt and that confidence can take us a long way if we can just stay together.”

Coach Mike Smith(notes) says he has focused on the Falcons’ passing game in the organized workouts.

“Matt is making good decisions and being accurate with the football,” Smith said. “I don’t think those two traits can be overlooked. That’s what we’ve emphasized with Matt, make better decisions and to be more accurate throwing the football.”

Ryan says the Falcons already are preparing to deal with increased expectations.

“I heard a quote from coach Smith, ‘expect to win but don’t get caught up in expectations,”’ Ryan said. “I think that’s pretty pertinent because you can’t worry about all the long-term stuff. You just have to go out there and have confidence in yourself and not worry about all the long-term stuff that goes with it.”

Ryan said he began studying film after the Falcons’ playoff loss to Arizona as he focused on making better decisions in key situations.

“The No. 1 thing going into the off season for me was to improve the decision making and so I’ve watched a ton of film, just trying to get better and to sharpen up for next season,” he said. “I’m going to continue to do that for the next two or three months.”

Ryan completed 61.1 percent of his passes for 3,440 yards with 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He said there’s much room to reach the levels of improvement that Mughelli sees.

“Quarterbacks make their living on third down and in the red zone, so those are areas I felt I could improve on from last year,” he said. “You also make your living at the end of the game so you want to make good plays and make good decisions in two-minute situations, so those are areas I definitely focused on.”


Dude what are his teammates going too say "he sucks" . Bring a article where somebody not in the falcon organization is saying this. All you quotes are coming from teammates. Lets see how good he is when the ref. are not calling phantom roughing the passer foul.

So says the Falcons Organization.

Hell, I remember when they kept tauting how much improvement Vick was making as a passing QB every offseason.

Lets open the worst fans discussion up to all NFL teams. Especially NFL East teams. Eagles fans are notoriously bad. Santa Claus, need I say more? Just this year after the Giants loss to the Eagles, New York Giants fans smashed a few abandoned cars in. But that's regular stuff for you guys anyways. Keeping with the Christmas theme how about a 2006 fight at the Meadowlands on Christmas eve.

This was just a few internet searches. I'm sure their are many more instances of bad behavior out there.

You should really claim your team on here Raging Bull.
lol

you should really do some background research about who you're mouthing off at before getting butthurt because what I said was basically true about my own fanbase (panthers).

NFC East fans are more hardcore and passionate than you can even fathom.

Now go to the Panther forum and talk about how we're going to kick everybody's ass this year for the sole reason that we're "under the radar".

Haha yeah, every offseason was "you idiots just watch, it's going to be like Reeves is here again!" because they had supposedly installed some bad-ass offense that was going to "let Vick be Vick".

Taking retarded media speculation and compliments from teammates way too seriously is a recipe for disappointment. See this place prior to the 2006 season. I think it's pertinent because the Falcons board is basically just an RSS feed for ESPN.com, FoxSports.com, and PFT now.

Whats the point of saying all that stuff before hand. Why not just say repeat to begin with?

It used to be hands down falclown fans. However, since brees went to the aints they have really put up some competition for the ignorant award. The difference between the two at least on this board is the falclown fans usually are a bit more low brow than the aint fans. The aint fans like to relentlessly spew stats and figures on how much they should have or could have won a game they actually lost. Falcown fans don't vomit up stats as much, they usually just post dumbpoo. Either way it's close between the two.

Haha! I think you might be overcompensating there, dude.

<<Waits for the day any idiot fan doesn't believe everything they hear from any sports writer willing to say anything about the home team, homerwise.>>>

"This unnamed sports writer, who has never played in the NFL has said the "insert home team name here" new player from the "insert draft/free agency player name here" is going to make a dramatic change on this team this year and help the "insert home team name here" win the Superbowl this year!!"

I've got Super bowl tickets to sell. Send me a PM if interested.
