MC Day 2: Ryan’s precision passing returns
The Ice Man heated up a great deal on Saturday. (Curtis Compton/AJC).
FLOWERY BRANCH – After tossing five minicamp interceptions on Friday, quarterback Matt Ryan bounced back with a sharp Saturday morning practice.
During the seven-on-seven drills, he completed 7 of 8 passes.
Quarterbacks Chris Redman, D.J. Shockley and John Parker Wilson also threw passes during the drill. Overall, the group completed 12 of 16 passes.
Ryan best throw was to Troy Bergeron, who had slipped behind cornerback Christopher Owens on and out-and-up route along the left sideline.
Ryan hit him in stride for a touchdown.

We’re all dying to know how Corey Peters looks, and especially whether he seems to get a big push in passing situations. Did you see him in any drills?

BP — He looks awesome!!!
Greg — Hard to eval the DLine with no pads on. He looks the part, but won’t get a good read on him until we see some live contact during training camp.

The critics will point to the five interceptions in yesterday’s first session of mini-camp, but Ryan is much better than that – as most everyone knows.

5 int may have been indended to work with DB’s, drills on when to play ball and when not to, the coaches may have told the QB’s to force passes to covered receivers to see how DB react. can’t judge QB on mini-camps.

Villanova? Finneran?
The balls weren’t broken in yesterday. Much better today, much better grip.

Ahhh, the return of all the sour grape “my man got railroaded” fans. Ryan will perform like he has his first two seasons: Like a winner. 11-5; 9-7. No other quarteback in Falcons history has accomplished that feat. Move along…

Complaining about pick in a mini camp and celebrating a touchdown pass in mini camp are two in the same……..DUMB.
Good grief it’s m…i…n…i c…a…m…p!!!!

If Meier and Harvey are good enough, they should replace Jenkins and Finneran. If Finn stays for spec teams, then Bergeron goes. Seems like coaches don’t give much respect to the good route runner/good hands recievers. They like the speedy ball droppers better. Some teams have come around to some of that type WR and have reaped the rewards.

Ryan’s stats this season- 3500 yards with 25 TDs and 15 INTS. No excuses this year Matt. Doesn’t seem like the coaches are gonna hold his hand and skip down candy lane anymore. I’d like to see him be more accountable for his mistakes rather than blame it on “still learning”. I think he’s talented, he just needs to fine tune it and stop the dumb decisions.
