****Atlanta Falcons**** And The NFL In General

I had a post earlier about this. When I went to the game, you can see everything happening on the field. The defense was a together unit. The offense were scattered in different areas. Ryan and Shanahan were not huddling with each other to adjust to what was going on. At least that is the way I saw it. Shanahan is a clone of his father and his offense is the same pattern. Teams pretty much know what is coming.
Julio was tearing it up for the first five games, but now teams are game planning him and Matt has no other options that teams fear. Also, pressure up the middle seems to rattle Ryan more that pressure from the edges.

Usually my boss asks me for input. Surely when Shanahan and Ryan are watching game film, I would think Shanahan asks him for his input on what plays they ought to run.

"Since the Titans game in Week 7, Shanahan has scaled back the game plan in increments. Maybe that's why teams apparently have gotten a better read on what the Falcons are doing at times. But Shanahan obviously believes his system can be effective -- although he's tweaked some things, such as going more up-tempo of late."
Shanahan has all the faith in the world in Ryan, who is currently fourth in the NFL with 3,212 passing yards.
"I think Matt's picked things up great," Shanahan said. "Matt's made some turnovers in a few games that has been the focal point all around. Matt's also been doing a lot of good things this year, too. I look at Matt and when you're No. 1 in the NFL on first down and No. 2 in the NFL on third down, it's pretty tough to do that without really good quarterback play. So, there's a lot of good things Matt's doing. We know the glaring thing is he's thrown some key interceptions at some bad times. Whatever those reasons are, it's my job to help him figure those out. We've got to work to not let those happen."
