Matt Ryan on the Texans
Matt Ryan on facing the Texans:
Q: How does the offense get ready for Houston star J.J. Watt?
A: J.J. Watt is a great player. Obviously, you know he's been playing at a high level for a long time. He's disruptive in the run game, in pass rushing, tipping the ball, and intercepting it. He's about as good as it gets. They've got some other great players on that defense as well.
Q: What do you see on film from Jadeveon Clowney?
A: Jadeveon Clowney looks really good to me. His first step off the ball is special. He's extremely fast and has done a great job. He's playing the run really well and is physical against the run at the point of attack. He's done a great job with that. I think he's just starting to hit his stride, kind of, as a second-year guy. He's going to continue to get better, but he's already playing great.
Q: In what areas can the offense improve?
A: There are a lot of areas that we can improve. Certainly, when you turn on the tape following a game, the old kind of cliché is, it's never as good, it's never as bad, is true. There are a lot of things that we can clean up from an execution standpoint. From being on top of our plan, I think we can be better. That's kind of a challenge for all of us. I can be better within our plan, and I think every position group can be better.
