I am not sure he actually did say that last year, but definitely something he needs to work harder on.

I recall something about him trying to get stronger, but never heard or saw the term "bulk up." Two different things.

Could have just missed it, though.

Nah, he didn't say bulk up man. He said that he was hitting the weights to get stronger last year. To me, and just to me, I take that the same way. Court of TATF??? Could mean anything including smelling bad.

Matt Ryan is working on building weight-room strength this offseason, in an effort to improve on downfield throws.
The Falcons tried to play vertical ball at times in 2011, but Ryan's arm strength was exposed as only above average. "I’ve been working out pretty hard this offseason to try and put on a little bit of weight to get a little bit stronger," he said. "We need to be more effective with some of our throws down the field and that’s something that I’ve certainly worked on early this offseason."

Hahahahahaha..

Bulking up what for does he think with the extra size he'd make those 4th and inchs he missed on those sneaks in the play-off game..

Good lord he needs more bulk in front of him protecting him.

Is this the new sports journalism? Just regurgitating what was told to some other journalist? Well, not sure if the mayhem dudes can be considered journalists.

Pat, why don't you call Matt and get him to elaborate instead of re-reporting an interview we all heard?

I met Matt for a minute at the San Fran game back in 09. Dude's lanky, but he's not little. I'm pretty sure he could stomp 95% of the haters on this board, with that goofy "aw shucks" look on his face while he did it.
