Here’s what Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had to say about the 49ers:
Q: What’s your impression of the 49ers defense?
A: They get after the passer, they have speed on their defense. In all three phases, they run well. They're playing aggressive. They're playing with confidence. They do a great job of attacking the football.
Q: What are your thoughts on unheralded linebacker Fred Warner?
A: He kind of moves around into different spots. He does a good job of giving you some different looks on third down. Getting into the line of scrimmage, getting out of there. Playing coverage - coming, not coming.
Q: With Richard Sherman out, how do you rate cornerbacks Ahkello Witherspoon and Emmanuel Moseley?
A: I think all of their guys have done a nice job when their numbers have been called. It’s hard to find a game or a week where they haven’t played well. They let up some points last week, but that was just that game seemed to be one of those high-scoring games.
