killamane Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 First of all good win for the Birds!Okay, can anyone with good football knowledge explain to me why we do those roll outs? I mean every time i see them call that play Matt Ryan has someone in his face 80% of the time and he is always rushed to throw it.If anyone can explain how it fits in with the scheme of things i appreciate it.

Peyton Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 It would be a lie to say it never works when Matt rolls right, but I've rarely seen it work in an important moment. Probably never actually.No, I can't explain why the Falcons keep running it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark Kent™ Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Sometimes they roll a QB out to get out of the pocket which makes complete since because Ryan was getting abused yesterday in the pocket. I don't have a problem with a roll out. And honestly I don't see why so many people do. Ryan needs to improve a little bit on extending plays and it would make roll outs ALOT more effective. Assuming the play is executed enough to where the LE doesn't automatically sack Ryan as he is rolling out, then its a fine play. He is out in the open and is not just a standing target to get hit. And it is extremely rare for a QB to not throw the ball away before going out of bounds. You won't see that very often. It reminded me of the Orlovsky play a few years ago when he was running around in the back of his own endzone for a safety.

Falcon918 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 It gives your opponent something to guess about. It is a play action play that has worked at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysnill1 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I've come to terms that it's a Falcons staple. besides cutting off the field, all the targets just huddle around the sideline completely covered most of the time. my main concern with Ryan is in year 5 he still has a tendency to get locked in on a receiver. but looks like the roll-out ain't going anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-Nite-Toker Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I've heard time and time again that DK has "allowed " the players to "keep" plays they like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Lol i think that play has about 10% success rate...not sure why they keep doing it. I was screaming at my tv when we ran it on an important 3rd down.Coaches plz if you are going to do it atleast do it on a first down or something not when we need a sure thing play.

Mid-Nite-Toker Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 “I think that it is real important that the quarterback and the play-caller are on the same page and can communicate,” Koetter said. “I think that’s one of Matt’s best traits. He’s a great communicator, and he can tell me what he likes and doesn’t like and why. Yet he’s still open to coaching.”http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-falcons-blog/2012/09/06/atlanta-falcons-ryan-koetter-form-football-bond/?cp=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newgafatboy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 screens play action and roll outs are a good way to slow a pass rush it make the DE's look for the ball instead of just rushing. play action can be dangerous because the QB turns his back to the rush if the DE doesn't bite inside the QB can get drilled, but when it works it's a thing of beauty, same for a roll out. if the QB rolls out right into a LB or DB play is busted.

theDIRTYcode Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 It was ******** in the Mularkey era, and it's shown no signs of improvement. Along with the bootleg into an unblocked DE, I just don't get the thought process that goes into saying "Yeah...sounds like a great idea". The only players I've seen make it work somewhat consistent are Peyton and Rodgers, and Manning is usually rolling to the opposite side.

BadMoonRising Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 What really makes that play odd, why would you boot leg to the side of the line you are struggling to protect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungHeezy Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 It works better going left than right...as strange as that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioisCoolio Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 They were trying to get pressure off of Matt seeing as how he had been sacked 7 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Two reasons why it makes sense that it works better running it to the left. The Falcons rarely run it to the left, and the weaker corners are usually on that side of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falc_Fan_Since_Six Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I hate it too but then again if they had called the obvious late hit, the result would have been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconState Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 It seemed like Matt was getting hit everytime he dropped back so if keeps him from taking hits i like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
