Falcons: Don't be fooled by Matt Ryan's lack of postseason success

[Beef]

If you have less bodyfat and more strength, you're going to increase you quickness and power by default. He's going to throw harder and move quicker. It's pretty simple to figure that out.

His pocket "awareness" has never been bad. In fact, it's really quite good. Our OL has been HORRIBLE at letting pressure through the line and into Matt's space the past few years and yet he is consistently best 3rd in the league in fewest sacks. Even after getting sacked 13 times in the first 3 games last season, he only had 13 more over the next 13 games and ended up with much fewer sacks than 2/3rds of the rest of the QB's in the league.

The difference, however, is that his awareness had him checking down and throwing quickly rather than stepping up or getting out of the way of pressure. I would like to see him be more elusive and give himself that extra time it's going to take to throw in a vertical spread. His awareness is fine. What he needed was more strength and quickness and I believe that's exactly what he has done this offseason.
