Gunny Hartman Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The Falcons rank 6th in the NFC in total offense and 8th in the NFL. That is amazing for an offense with a rookie QB surrounded by such young players. Now if we can just get the Red Zone offense fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAgamers Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 That is nice to see. I just hope it continues to be like that or better all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sarcomere Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Wow. I never realized that. We just need to capitalize down in the end zone. We would be a VERY deadly team if we did that on a consistent basis. FGs put points on the board, but often times its the teams that score TDs that end up winning.

PlumberGuy Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I love what the team is doing, we are GREAT between the 20s, we just need that PUNCH to get into the endzone. I am betting that in due time, we'll solve that puzzle. GO BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he is able to use all aspects of the playbook the Red Zone stats are sure to improve.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am almost positive I heard Dimitroff on the pregame radio in the last 2 weeks commenting on that. Basically he said that they did not dumb down the offense or limit the playbook because Matt Ryan is a rookie. He said that they are going at the playbook 100%.

I think Ryan can put it where it needs to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the last I heard was they were going to open the playbook up slowly as not to overwhelm Ryan straight out of the box.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
