Si Fantasy Football Article On Matt Ryan: Good Read

Recommended Posts

Herein lies a large part of the problem:

"Ryan was in the top 12 in deep pass attempts, completions, yards and accuracy percentage (completions plus drops divided by attempts) in 2012 and '14."

"Ryan is well outside the QB1 class through the first seven weeks of the season because he is missing the deep throws he hit with regularity over the last three years"

I am quite pleased with the season.

Is Ryan tearing it up this year? NO, but Freeman is beasting.

and I am more inclined to worry about Freemans Touch Count because

Ryan will spring back.

Bottom line is this.

Football is a " TEAM" Sport.

Fantasy Football is just that,,,, Fantasy.

,,!, em all.

It's fixable. Trust and confidence in the system will help. I think there are some things Shanahan can do to adjust his offense to Matt's talents as well. namely incorporating more oppurtunities to go into a no-huddle.

Sadly, I don't think KS is big on 'adjusting his offense.' Matt needs the no huddle pace and more audiblizing. If that can be arranged without disrupting this wonderful new running attack we will kill. If it ever comes to a choice between Matt and Kyle then Kyle must go.

His breakdown of the plays is spot on, however, who gives a rip where Ryan ranks in fantasy? Wasn't the Hankerson pass after he left with a rib injury? Could the pain of the injury slowed him down?

Also, 13 drops between Hank and Julio combined has hurt his numbers. Although at 6-1 I'm excited about how much better it can be

he adjusted his offense for RG3 his first season and he had one of the best seasons for a rookie, but the second year he got rigid and tried to force RG3 into his system and he suffered big time. I don't think he fully appreciates what he has in Matt yet. the thing that concerns me is that not only is Matt missing long throws, he's missing on short & intermediate throws too. I hope it's just him pressing and he rebounds and the Real Matt shows up

To be fair, RG2 and (probably) RG3 both really demanded that the offense change in year 2.

He did for RGIII. I think he will have to. KS wants a head coaching gig. I can't see him not taking advantage of the best QB he's ever had.

But you are right. There's a lot more invested in Ryan, and I don't see anyone coming in the draft in the next 2 years that will be better.

Obvious inaccuracy issues. I don't know what's going on in Ryan's head for sure but it looks like he thinks the pass protection won't hold up. He thinks there's less time than he usually is provided... trying to rush things, resulting in inaccurate throws (bad mechanics and messy footwork) or going to his first read Julio even if it isn't completely open. When things are open, it floats in the air or comes up short.

The FO made him change the offense...they didn't want RGIII to keep exposing himself to brutal hits so instead of telling him to slide they made it more conventional and coached him to stay in the pocket.

Aside from trying to have Ryan throw out this slump Shanahan hasn't held this offense back. That's all on Ryan and this lull he's in. Hopefully he'll snap out of it, but the only offensive change we need to do to 'conform' to Ryan is run the ball more and put the ball in our best offensive weapon's hands right now.
