Here are three questions with Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan about the Giants:

On what he sees from the Giants' front: "They've got a good rotation. They use a lot of different fronts. ... They mix up three-down man packages. They do a lot of different things and shuffle in a bunch of different guys."

On how linebacker Alec Ogletree is playing for them:  "Good. I think across the board, their record is what it is, but they've had a lot of tight games, too. Defensively, I think they've played pretty well. I think he's played well also."

On safety Landon Collins: "He's a ball-hawking guy who can make plays when the ball is in the air. He does a nice job coming down into the box. Within the scheme they ask him to do a lot of different things, play a lot of different parts of the field, and I think he does a nice job of that."
