Here’s what Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had to say about the Seahawks:
On facing Dwight Freeney: "Dwight, having played with him, he'd the pros pro. Unbelievable in terms of preparation. Unbelievable pass rushers. Unbelievable teammate for sure. I know those guys will be well-prepared in that front seven in that defensive line room."
On Seattle's cornerbacks without Richard Sherman: "Shaquill Griffin has done a good job. We haven't played against him prior to this. He's talented and aggressive. (Jeremy) Lane is a guy who we played against before. I anticipate both safeties (Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor) being back. We'll see. It doesn't really matter. Both of the guys are really talented in their scheme."
On linebacker Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright: "He's really as good as it gets. Bobby is a really instinctive football player. He's very physical. K.J. Wright is extremely athletic for as big as he is. Can run and cover really well. Both of those guys are about as good as it gets."
On Michael Bennett: "He's a problem. He's a very good pass rusher. Very good against the run. He plays physical. Incredibly instinctive. He's done a great job for them."
