Matt Ryan's receivers not doing their share

[Cary Kollins]

according to Bill Barnwell

 

Quote

The remaining receivers just aren't producing at a high level. Veteran stalwart Roddy White is 34 and hasn't looked the same since toughing his way through a high ankle sprain at the beginning of the 2013 season; he's averaging just 2.7 yards after the catch on his 30 receptions this year, the fifth-lowest figure for wideouts who have caught as many passes as he has this season. Jacob Tamme, a logical red zone target, has just two catches inside the 20 all season. Fourth-round pick Justin Hardy was inactive for the first seven weeks of the year. And even Hankerson had an astronomical drop rate of 13 percent. The Falcons desperately need somebody besides Freeman to step up alongside Jones.

 

The Falcons will need to revamp their receiving corps again this offseason with limited cap space, a move that would include the painful release of a franchise icon, given that Atlanta can save up to $4.3 million by cutting White.

So, let's see your reaction when someone says "Matt Ryan doesn't have enough weapons".

From what I've read, it's Shanny that is holding that offense back. Dude has been a bum wherever he's gone save for one fluke year with RG3. He finally has a decent QB (and don't kid yourselves, Ryan is decent and has had great years in the past) and he has no idea how to utilize him to his strengths. The entire year has been trying to make his players fit his scheme instead of fitting his scheme around his players abilities. His offenses start off well enough then tank in the later part of the year once D-Coordinators get tape on what they're doing.

A great QB makes his receivers, not the reverse.

Well, when they aren't playing good they aren't playing good. Jones has a lot of yards but no more tds than two Panther receivers. As a unit we have better weapons than they do by a good margin. Other than Jones there really isn't a guy on their offense I would take over our guys.

I would take Justin Hardy in a heartbeat over Norwood.

Not the QB, the problem is.

What's he done to be that good?

No that's a fair comment. I really wasn't thinking about the bottom of the depth chart originally.
