Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan on facing the Saints:
Q: How will the offense try to rebound against the Saints?
A: We turned it over three times (against Washington on Sunday.) We weren't as sharp as we would like, but at no point were we out of that game. We are always in striking distance, one score away. That's because of what our defense did. To me, that's what good teams do. They fight for each other. They kind of pick each other up when the other side is down. That's kind of been the case so far.
Q: What’s the key to facing a Rob Ryan defense?
A: He's got some different wrinkles in his scheme. You've got to be prepared for something a little different than what you've seen up until this point. I always think when you go against a scheme that might have some exotic looks, it comes down to kind of knowing your system inside and out so that you have answers for whatever they do.
Q: How is Jairus Byrd fitting in with the Saints?
A: He's a good player. He's a really good player. He's obviously back in (the lineup) now. He's a talented, ball-hawking guy who can make some plays. He fits in well. I think he would fit into whatever scheme he played in.
Q: How is Cameron Jordan playing for the Saints?
A: He's still playing at a really, really high level. He's been a good player for them for a long time.
