It took Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan awhile over the offseason to shake last season’s playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers. Although he has a 2-1 record versus the Packers, Ryan is not looking at Sunday night’s game as a rematch.
Here’s a brief Q&A involving Ryan and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s D. Orlando Ledbetter.
Q. How is Green Bay cornerback Charles Woodson playing?
A: He's still playing at a high level, a really high level. He's really good outside, and I think he's even better when he slides in because he can do more things. He's a really good pass rusher.
Q: What do you see from Green Bay’s safeties Morgan Burnett and Charlie Peprah?
A: It's always difficult to replace Nick Collins. He's a great player, but I think both of those guys have come in and done a really good job.
Q: What is [Green Bay defensive coordinator] Dom Capers trying to accomplish by running the 4-2-5 scheme 75 percent of the time?
A: It creates some problems for you when you're in your base personnel and they're in their nickel personnel, for identification purposes. That's something we're going to have to be on top of this week and certainly something we're preparing for.
