NFL Films' Greg Cosell pointed out recently that Falcons QB Matt Ryan's best attribute might be his growing comfort in the no huddle. He can win before the snap. The team allowed Ryan to make more decisions last year. Look for him to take the next step as the true orchestrator of this offense.

HC Smith: Matt Ryan's arm strength is "much-improved"

Falcons QB Matt Ryan has increased his arm strength this year.

“Matt, I think, has really progressed,” Mike Smith said. “I think you can see it physically that he’s bigger. I think his arm strength is much-improved from the first four years.”

Some of the major differences in the passing attack will be more vertical routes with an emphasis on getting the ball to receivers on the move. Also, the team will implement a package heavy in screen passes.

Fantasy Impact: 

If fantasy owners miss out on the top 5-6 QBs (Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Cam Newton, Matthew Stafford, and perhaps Michael Vick) in the first three or four rounds, there's no reason to panic and draft a QB before the 6th or 7th round where Ryan should be available. He finished QB8 last year, and the Falcons are going to a more pass-heavy attack that will utilize his improved arm strength.

When asked about WR Julio Jones, Falcons QB Matt Ryan said, "I think he is going to have a great year. I thought he was extremely productive for us last year and I think this year he is going to be even better than he was.”

Falcons plan to use more 'no huddle'

The Falcons will have a new offense in 2012. Coordinator Mike Mularkey left to become head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and his replacement is former Jaguars coordinator Dirk Koetter.

The Jaguars were known as a run-heavy team under Koetter, but that was because that's the way then-coach Jack Del Rio wanted it. The Falcons are expected to be more vertical with Ryan throwing to Julio Jones and Roddy White on the outside.

That no-huddle offense seemed to be when the Falcons shined in 2011. Koetter plans to use more of it, and QB Matt Ryan likes that idea. It puts more on his plate, calling plays at the line of scrimmage, but it also gives the Falcons a chance to dictate tempo. With Jones and White outside, why not let it fly?

Fantasy Impact: 

The author of the article, Pete Prisco, spent quite a bit of time with Koetter so his insight is valuable. We shouldn't worry too much about the Falcons moving to a more run-oriented attack after opening things up last year.
