Word is Shanahan and Ryan had many meetings during the spring. Just the 2 of them. And following the end of those meetings, Matt took the entire offense minus the line down to Florida for 2 weeks where they worked out and practiced daily. We will see if that pays off. In a new offense...reps, reps, reps is what matters most.

But also keep in mind, this offense is predicated on the run game...not Matt Ryan's arm. As good as Freeman was stats wise last year they rarely established the run game. Which put the ball in Matt's hands on known passing downs and a practice squad center became the focus of the defense. Not a good situation to be in...for any QB. I don't think Ryan/Shanahan offensive success fully centers around Matt's arm and his connection with his WRs. I think a revamped O-Line that keeps us out of 3rd and long with the run game equates to a serious offense change from 2015.

I really think Tevin Coleman is going to have a great season. Might put up more yards than Freeman if he stays healthy

Mckissic the rookie WR for the Falcons looks great tonight. I think he makes this team

I have been impressed with Mckissic also, didnt know he was a WR. I watched the south carolina game.

Coach has some decisions to make at WR. Nick Williams had some drops that could leave him off this team. And Weims has looked great in special teams. I like McKissic and Robinson...but not sure where they fit in the roster count. Especially with Neal down and a new Safety needed.

Hey fellas read some of our old post before the first game, I am a loser and happy about it,I could not find more than 7 or 8 wins, I see 10 now I think.
Some pretty funny stuff
I hope trufant is ok, it don't look good they won't a 2nd opinion. I hope the defense continues to get better. I am pretty sure we come up short of playing in the super bowl, man I sure would like to see us in the NFC Chamoionship!!!!!

10 wins will win the NFC South and get us in. The defense is the achilles heal. The matchup in the playoffs will decide how far we go. I'm all in. I don't expect a SB win, but I can assure you whoever we play from here on in is freaking out about how to stop Ryan and his washed up past his prime playing days.

Our depth at many key positions is still critical. Trufant is a huge loss...the offense is a Julio, Ryan, Mack, Matthews injury away from disaster.
