Why the Falcons no huddle offense is the key to Matt Ryan’s success

Ever since Matt Ryan was drafted in 2008 by the Atlanta Falcons they have always been a run heavy offense that played conservative as far as letting Matt Ryan pass the ball. Now that Ryan is entering his fourth season in the NFL, and he has showed offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey that he can get the job done it is time for the Falcons to put their trust in Ryan. Matt Ryan has always made good decisions when passing the football, and now that he knows the offense very well he should be allowed to call some of the plays.

Matt Ryan has always shined in the no huddle offense. He has seemed very comfortable with a faster pace, and finding receivers. A lot of people are expecting the Falcons to go into the no huddle offense more this upcoming season, and for good reason. When Matt Ryan is in the no huddle offense his completion percentage is over 65 percent, this means that Ryan knows how to find targets and get them the ball. Some people thrive in different situations in the game, and for Matt Ryan he thrives in the no huddle offense.

If the Falcons want their offense to be as explosive as it can be I believe that they need to use the no huddle offense, because it is clearly the strength of Matt Ryan in the passing game. The Falcons no huddle offense is already one of the best in the NFL so by going to it more often will make their offense even more unstoppable. I have said it before that this year is an important year for Matt Ryan, because he needs to prove that he can get the job done in the playoffs; now its also important for the Falcons coaching staff to release Matt Ryan of his handcuffs, and let him be the quarterback that everybody including me believes that he can be. Ryan has the weapons, and now its time for Mike Mularkey to give him the keys to the offense, and let Ryan excel.
