However, he was back at practice with falcons earlier today. And matt ryan knows what it takes to succeed here in the playoffs. The falcons are just a year removed from a super bowl appearance. Now as they look to try to get back there again this season, the falcons say theyre looking at ryan at more than just his numbers. Might be some of the intangible this year that show up maybe not on the stat sheet but show up inside our locker room inside the walls to make sure that he puts us in the right spot at the right time.
