big_D Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Steve talked about this being Ryans break out year in his opinion this AM on the Zone. He feels that as long as the O line gives him the needed protection that has been lacking, there is no reason Ryan won't earn elite status next season. It would be great as a ton of eyes will be watching him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbloodz Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well I hope so. Make or break year for Ryan this year in my opinion. Hope he steps up and take his place among the elites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fibonacci Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Ryan has done very well when the pocket did not collapse. this is not a make or break season for matt ryan.Like I said in another thread.- put newton, brees, manning, etc. with our line and watch them not do as well as Ryan has. and I bet on that one.- really go look at how well the line was for the eagles, yet vick did worse the Ryan last year.----matt threw for an average of 10 yards more then vick.----vick threw an average of 1.3 TD's, while Ryan threw 1.8 a game.----vick 14 INT in 13 games....Ryan 12 INT in 16 games----sure vick beat out ryan on an average of rushing of 2.3 vs vicks 7.8 (but Ryan got 2 TD rushing, while vick only got one)----but vick had 10 fumbles in 13 games, while ryan had 5----also Ryans completion was better.any questions???Matt Ryan is ridiculously underrated.Edit: vick is going to do worse this season because the lost a great line player to FA and did not replace him with a good player....then there very good LT is out for the season with his injury. (yes they replaced him with a decent LT....but nothing like what they had). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler11 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 whats the difference between NE offensive line and ATL a 0.3 difference in pressure allowed per pass attemptThat's huge. If Ryan performs say 40 pass attempts, he's getting 12 more pressures than the NE line allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconidae Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Not that hugeNE oline allowed 173 pressures Brady 611 pass attemptsATL oline allowed 171 pressures in Ryan 566 pass attemptsAnd how quickly did the pressure get there? If you get pressured after 4 seconds, not the Oline's fault. If Brady is getting pressure because he's waiting for plays to develop as opposed to Ryan getting immediate pressure because his line has collapsed; then they aren't the same stat at all.

WavesCrashing Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 so if Ryan attempted the same amount of Passes as Brady our oline would have allowes 184 QB pressures .. NE is considered good to very good .. Well on avgs and same amount of pass attempts we would have just given up only 11 more QB pressures then NE oline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Steve is just telling us what we already know. If you give any NFL Qb time they can make you pay. Every year these people say if Ryan does this, if Ryan does that, if Ryan hit the weight room he will become elite. I personally don't think Ryan will become this so called elite, I just don't think it is there. I won't be holding my breath waiting for this elite status, but he don't have to be elite to win playoff games and get us that Lombardi. Ryan just needs to go out and get it done.

You would have to look at every pressure . I dont think it would be fair to say all of Brady QB pressure is him holding onto the ball just like I cant honestly say our oline collasped 171 times and none I could put on Matt Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know perfectly well that Ryan had pressure in his face immediately too many times when he dropped back.If 30 of those pressures are Brady holding onto the ball to let a play develop and 30 of those pressures are Ryan getting killed as soon as he drops back, those numbers may look the same, but are measuring two entirely different things.

PFF says so.vick being a falcon, yes I am over that. but vick is still called an elite player who had a great line. the only time that line looked to fail is when vick did a rushing play and rolled out.So I was trying to break down a scenario, that is all. because if you reread my post, I started it by saying how none of those elite players could do better then Ryan with the falcons line.Go look at film when our line does not fail, and you will see an elite matt ryan.

WavesCrashing Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Falcondae If you read Under Pressure each week, you know that for three years it’s been an interest (or you could say an obsession) of mine to log the time of each and every sack in the NFL. However, in those three years, I’d never asked maybe the most significant question: How much does a quarterback’s tendency to hold the ball play a part in his sack rate?Anecdotally, it would seem to play a significant part. Ben Roethlisberger tries to buy time by holding the ball until receivers get open, and his sack rate is consistently among the league’s worst. Jay Cutler plays in an offense that has often asked him to wait for a receiver to get open downfield, and arguably no one has been more battered because of it.On the other end of the spectrum, Drew Brees gets the ball out as quick as anyone not named Peyton Manning and he usually has one of the lowest sack rates in the game.It simply makes sense that if a quarterback takes longer to get rid of the ball, defenders are more likely to be spiking him into the turf. But to try to dig a little deeper, I compiled the stats over the past three years for the 17 quarterbacks who qualified for the NFL passer rankings in all three years (plus Tony Romo, who narrowly missed qualifying in 2010).Over a one-year span, the correlation between median sack time and sack rate is .270. The correlation between average sack time and sack rate is .273 -- a pretty insignificant result. But if you examine the same correlations over a three-year span, they jump to .487 (median sack time) and .492 (average sack time).Looking at the standard deviation also yields less than overwhelming results.Name Std Devof Sack Rate StdDevof Avg TimeMatt Cassel 1.21% 0.416Mark Sanchez 0.81% 0.404Eli Manning 1.36% 0.379Josh Freeman 1.23% 0.321Drew Brees 0.08% 0.265Jay Cutler 2.65% 0.265Matt Schaub 0.60% 0.265Philip Rivers 0.84% 0.252Joe Flacco 1.51% 0.208Alex Smith 1.40% 0.200Ben Roethlisberger 0.37% 0.200Tony Romo 1.33% 0.173Matt Hasselbeck 1.52% 0.173Tom Brady 1.09% 0.153Matt Ryan 0.62% 0.153Ryan Fitzpatrick 2.52% 0.153Carson Palmer 1.37% 0.153Aaron Rodgers 1.25% 0.100Grand Total 1.64% 0.277Again, this will always be limited by the sample size. Even over a three-year span, we’re talking about 1,418 sacks -- less than the number of pass attempts you would see from three teams over the course of a season. As we continue to add data, we’re getting a better and better look at how much a quarterback can be blamed for a high sack rate, and how much he’s just a victim of the offense he plays in.Here’s the data for all 18 quarterbacks, divided by year and ranked in order of sack rate. The 2011 sack stats are updated through Week 12. Thanks to fellow Outsider Danny Tuccitto for help with the stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL.go watch it and see what I mean. they had hands down a better LT then us. the pocket did not collapse as much. the only reason vick got sacked was because he ran our of the pocket. if they had a guy stay in pocket he will do great....heck go talk to Kevin Kolb. Kevin got an upgrade of the best WR, yet he blew balls. while Kevin was with eagles, he excelled and looked great.so yeah maybe you should take your own advice and go watch football outside of Atlanta.

falcons007 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 anyone claiming philly has a better oline than us is on crack son. You need to watch football outside of atlanta once in a while.Sure Sam Baker beats out Jason Peters every time, PHI O line is filled with quality. Sacks tell only part of the story, QB hits need to be included as well because QB hit is one step away from being a sack. Falcons OL gave up 7th most QB hits last year. Watch the houston game tape, Ryan was hit 10 times in the game, thats like getting hit once in 4 pass attempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
