spiker Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Well we are throwing short of the first down marker but we are getting better at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 You know we are #1 on 3rd down conversions. At least before today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro2000 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Generally it is taking what the defense gives you. Fairly basic defense. Play the sticks, purposefully leaving underneath stuff open to bait the QB into throwing it short. Come up and make the tackle. Also you sometime bring pressure to force the hot throw and then make the tackle to insure a longer route won't develop.Granted, 3rd & long, Ryan more often than not takes what the D gives him and throws it short. It is aggravating but who he is Edited December 13, 2015 by jeffro2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domed Outter Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Defences are sitting at the marker waiting to close on those short passes every time. It isn't a surprise to them and the offense still continues with it. It's certainly not just a Shanahan issue but its gone beyond annoying at this point.

NYCFalc Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 That's a Matt Ryan specialty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daywalker Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 No you're correct, Matt has always thrown or ran 2 -3 yards short his whole career. It's wind blowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rock Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 That's a Matt Ryan specialtyThis is true. Ryan checks down so fast that it should be a world record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
