    Ryan knows Atlanta must avoid mistakes vs. Saints
    View quote in context »
    Ryan puts the onus on himself to make the offense efficient, but Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez believes the Falcons must do a better job in running better routes and improving their blocking techniques. "We've obviously got to play better in all phases ... I don't think it's one particular thing. We came out and had a good first quarter (at Dallas). The opening drive was good. The defense had two three-and-outs in a row, but we've just got to keep momentum going, if anything." And the Falcons will need to keep a close eye on Sharper. Full Article at Sporting News
    We've obviously got to play better in all phases ... I don't think it's one particular thing. We came out and had a good first quarter (at Dallas). The opening drive was good. The defense had two three-and-outs in a row, but we've just got to keep momentum going, if anything.

Ryan knows Atlanta must avoid mistakes vs. Saints
  1. We just need to do a better job, man to man, and for me that's getting the guys in the right call and making sure I'm carrying out my reads ... so we can try and bust one open.

  2. Well, we are not going to make excuses, but we like to have our first-line players out there ... and I think Ovie is an outstanding blocking back and in our two-back running game he's a big, big part of it.

  3. He's got great football instincts, and my guess is he's very meticulous in the film room, and he studies, because that shows up ... That's evident when you watch tape on him.

  4. Any time you lose the turnover battle in this league, it's tough to come back and win games ... So that's my focus this week, to be better with the football, but at the same time you can't lose that aggressiveness. You have to continue to go out there and try to make plays.
