What Matt Ryan had to say about the Dolphins
Here’s what Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had to say about the Miami Dolphins:
On the Dolphins as a whole: "Certainly, they do a good job on the defensive side of the ball. They have an excellent front four that doesn't really give you a ton of time to hang in the pocket. When we get our chances, we've got to make plays when we get those opportunities."
On whether Dolphins safety Reshad Jones is underrated: "He does a great job. They bring him down into the box quite a bit. They'll pressure him. They'll blitz him. He's physical. He's good in the pass game. Underrated? I'm not sure what everybody else thinks of him. I know from what we watch, he's a good player. We'll certainly be aware of where he's at. He's been a good player for a long time."
On the Dolphins' linebackers: "They are athletic. There are some athletic guys on really all three levels of their defense. Athleticism is probably the one things that jumps off (the film). They play hard. But their 'backers for sure, those guys are good in space. Good tacklers in the open field, and they are physical."
