Sat, 14 Apr 2012 07:40:24 -0700 Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan said he is trying to bulk up this offseason. "Heading into each offseason, I try and take two or three areas to really improve on," Ryan said. "This year, it was getting a little bit stronger in the weight rooms. So I've been working out pretty hard this offseason to try and put on a little bit of weight to get a little bit stronger and I think that'll help me out on the field. Also, I think we need to be more effective with some of our throws down the field and that's something that I've certainly worked on early this offseason. And I think a combination of those two things will help our success."

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:56:49 -0700 Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey doesn't want to force QB Matt Ryan to take shots down the field.

You can force it down there and turn the ball over more possibly; which we obviously don't want to do." However, Mularkey was surprised with the number of check-down passes that Ryan settled for in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears.

"He's ready," Gonzalez said. "He's at that point in his career where, like most players, you really don't come into your own as a football player in the NFL until right around Year Three, Four, Five. Usually quarterbacks, through history, they usually take three, four years to really hit that peak. Matt, he's at Year Four, and he's just going to keep getting better. I think the Falcons, (GM) Thomas (Dimitroff), has surrounded him with some really good players."
