GAME DAY CENTRAL: Broncos vs. Falcons on MNF
QB corner: Matt Ryan discusses Denver

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan knows how to lift the curtain for the home opener, which is Monday night against the Denver Broncos.
He’s 4-0 in home openers, and the Falcons have averaged 32.2 points in those victories over Detroit (34-21 in 2008), Miami (19-7 in 2009), Arizona (41-7 in 2010) and Philadelphia (35-31 in 2011).
Here’s a brief Q&A involving Ryan and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s D. Orlando Ledbetter.
Q: What type of challenge does the offense face in Denver pass rushers Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller?
A: They are really talented guys. … They are guys that when you game plan, you game plan accordingly to protect yourself against what they can do. It will come down to execution.
Q: What’s your evaluation of their corners Champ Bailey and Tracy Porter?
A: I think both of them are really good. We know Tracy from having played in New Orleans. He’s a talented guy, a guy who can make some plays. He’s aggressive. Clutch. When you look back at the Super Bowl [against the Colts three seasons ago] he can come up with big plays at the right time. Then Champ Bailey, we don’t see him as often, but when you watch him on film, he’s a really, really solid player. Very talented. He’s been to the Pro Bowl 11 times, so that speaks for itself. It’s going to be a good matchup for us.
Q: How different will it be seeing Keith Brooking on the other side?
A: We played Brooking a couple of years ago in Dallas. It’s always good. … I think he played nine snaps last week. I’m sure he’ll be in there in different situations. We know Keith. He’s talented against run or pass. He’ll do a good job for them.
The X factor: Running back Michael Turner

Falcons running back Michael Turner was held to 32 yards on 11 carries in the opener against Kansas City.
Turner, a two-time Pro Bowler, will be needed against the Broncos on Monday night and is the X-factor for the game.
If the Falcons don’t establish the rushing attack, they won’t be able to play keep-away from Peyton Manning and the Denver offense.
Turner expects tough sledding against a rugged Denver defense.
“Nobody talks about their linebacking corps, but they are a great defense,” Turner said. “They played a great game against Pittsburgh last week.”
The Broncos’ starting linebackers are Wesley Woodyard (from LaGrange), Joe Mays and Von Miller. Former Falcons standout Keith Brooking backs up Woodyard at weakside linebacker and plays in mostly run situations.
“We have to run the ball, especially when you have a great quarterback like Peyton Manning on the other side,” Turner said. “We have to control the clock, control the tempo of the game, and hopefully we can keep them off the field as much as possible and score touchdowns. You don’t want give that guy any extra chances to beat you.”
Turner had four 100-yard games in six matchups against John Fox when he was the coach of the Carolina Panthers.
“We felt like it was an advantage for us to throw last week,” quarterback Matt Ryan said. “It’s one of those things where we think we can do whatever we need to do. I think we are talented that way. If we have to run it 50 times, we’ll run it 50 times. It’s just the way that certain games shake out.”
Quite frankly, the Falcons haven’t spent a lot of time on the running game in the offseason, and Turner is getting used to new fullback Lousaka Polite.
“We want to take what they give us, but obviously it does start up front with the running game,” center Todd McClure said.
On the hot seat: Linebacker Sean Weatherspoon

Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, the team’s defensive signal-caller, put in some extra study sessions after practices to prepare for his matchup with Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.
“Yes, I do,” said Weatherspoon when asked if he considered part of this game to be a matchup of wits with Manning. “It starts with the linebackers, getting the call from the sidelines. They are going to try to up-tempo us a little bit, so it’s our job to match his tempo.”
Weatherspoon, who was limited in practice with a hamstring injury, is basically the quarterback of the defense from his weakside linebacker spot. Keeping his poise against Manning will be key.
“That will be a big part of my game trying to make sure that I keep everybody in a comfortable mood, where we are locked in and ready to go,” Weatherspoon said. “We don’t want to be out there panicking. When they look at me when I’m getting the calls, if I’m confident, we all will be confident. I think that will help us win the game.”
One problem the Broncos present is their “22” formation — two running backs and two tight ends. Most teams like the run in that formation, but with an athletic-pass catching tight end in Jacob Tamme, the Broncos will pass from the formation.
“That’s poses a challenge, but we are tuned into him,” Weatherspoon said. “The coaches have done a great job of game planning.”
Connections
Falcons coach Mike Smith (2003-07) and offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter (2007-11) both were on the

staff in Jacksonville when Jack Del Rio was the head coach.
Del Rio now is Denver’s defensive coordinator.
“Jack gave me my first opportunity in the NFL, so I will always be indebted to him for that,” Koetter said. “But this is a players’ game, and we are both in new situations. We are both trying to earn our way with new teams. It’s nothing more than that.”
Also, Denver is led by former Carolina Panthers coach John Fox, who’s in his second season with the team. Smith holds a 4-2 record in games against Fox.
Other connections include:
- Falcons defensive line coach Ray Hamilton also coached under Del Rio in Jacksonville.
- Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan has had two stints with the Broncos. He was their defensive coordinator in 2009 and their linebackers and special-teams coach from 1987-92.
- Falcons secondary coach Tim Lewis coached for Fox on the Panthers’ staff in 2007-08.
- Falcons linebacker Akeem Dent and Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno were teammates at Georgia.
- Falcons defensive tackle Vance Walker and Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas were teammates at Georgia Tech.
- Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas and defensive end Elvis Dumervil were teammates at Louisville.
- Broncos linebacker Keith Brooking played his first 11 seasons with the Falcons and played at Tech.
- Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey, an 11-time Pro Bowler, starred at Georgia.
Stat corner: Falcons’ pass defense will get tested
110801 Flowery Branch - Falcons cornerback Christopher Owens looks for the interception during a coordination drill while players run through the first padded practice at training camp in Flowery Branch on Monday, August 1, 2011. Curtis Compton ccompton@ajc.com
After a 20-month layoff because of neck surgery, Denver quarterback Peyton Manning, the NFL’s only four-time MVP, was sharp in his return.
He completed 19 of 26 passes (73.1 percent) for 253 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-19 victory over Pittsburgh.
The Falcons’ secondary allowed 258 yards passing and one touchdown to Kansas City’s Matt Cassel and will be without their top cover corner in Brent Grimes, who suffered an Achilles injury and is out for the season.
Dunta Robinson will shift to right cornerback, and Christopher Owens will play nickel back.
Cornerback Asante Samuel talks a big game, but he prepares thoroughly by watching lots of film. He’s the locker-room expert on Manning.
“He’s had some experience going against Peyton, and I’m sure he can enlighten [the cornerbacks] on a lot of things,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “Peyton is a very good quarterback, and we will try and gain an advantage any way we can. We’ll use the resources that Asante has in terms of the number of games he’s played against him.”
Samuel has put in a lot of film work this week to be ready for Manning.
“I think it’s quality over quantity,” Samuel said. “I watch a lot of film, but it’s about watching the right things and taking the right things from the tape and applying it to the game to make your game that much better. I do my studying. … There is definitely a method to how I flow out there.”

Must be a storm moving through new orleans. Must have hit hard too. Cause all those saints fans have scattered like roaches. And seems as if all of their communication devices are not working due to the violent storm that has hit them. We got something to prove tonight and I anticipate a hard hitting, intense game. If our defense can play as good or better than they did last week in the second half I like our chances. Wish we had a back like that guy in Seattle or one of the steelers running back. Man they run with an attitude. Maybe turner can go to Home Depot and pick up a attitude cause he is the weakest link on our offense right now.

Michael M, I admire your enthusiasm for the Falcons but I’m just trying to analyze the match up. We have no pass rusher except for JA and if Peyton has more than 3 seconds in the pocket, he’s going to pick our D apart. Everyone agrees that DR is a bust and plays 10 yds off the receiver every time. Our offense is exciting but Denver has a formidable pass rush. I would love to see our Falcons win but it’s going to be tough

I was watching that game yesterday with the Caints and the Panthers, I notice Breezy slinging or flinging the ball away to keep from taking the sack……….he does that against Atlanta and more than likely someone will come up with the ball on defense and take it to the house for a touchdown.That was desperation yesterday on Breeze part………………………………maybe tonight the Falcons can get after old man Manning and put him under some pressure and he will cough up the ball…………………………………..

However, I do think our offense can hang in there with them and match them stride for stride. I do agree with what a previous blogger fan said. We cannot settle for field goals inside the 20 yard line. I see Gonzalez having a BIG game tonight! Go Falcons!!

I like how Ryan took a dry shot at Keith Broke-ing.LOL “He played like NINE snaps…”LOL LOL Hilarious!!! Matt obviously hasn’t forgotten about Broke-ing’s debacle in his first year either.lol I hope Turner runs him over but its a slim chance because he’ll probably jump on the pile long after Turner’s already down.lol
I expect a thriller in the Dome tonight. This one has the trimmings to be a really great shootout or an unexpected defensive battle. Peyton Manning is still a human being and Denver still has holes to fill that we can exploit. I’m looking forward to seeing how the coaches have prepped for this one. Smitty should know Fox and Del Rio pretty well at this point so it should be quite entertaining. Let’s go Birdland!!!

Jimmy Crack — You have to read between the pre-game lines. They are saying they plan to run the ball and catch Tracy Porter gambling on routes. They are probably staying away from Bailey and reading safety Rahim Moore is the key to life for Ryan. Moore will have to stay over the top of Bailey, who can’t run deep with Julio. It’s not so much what they say. It’s what they avoid saying that’s important.

Ryan can’t read Moore when he’s on his backside. Von Doom versus Baker and Clabo is a huge mismatch in Denver’s favor. Looking to see Ryan sacked 4 times tonight. Should be a great game though. Go Broncos!!!

In other news, I can’t wait for the game. I will be there and look forward to see if our defense can step up and stop Peyton Manning.
_____________________________________________________
I understand what you mean but you can’t plan on stopping Manning. Keep him off the field is as close to stopping him as you can get. If we win Time of Possession we win the game.
Talk up the 12th man with those around you………………!!! If the Dome can be loud enough they can impact Manning’s check offs and verbiage. BE VERY LOUD!!

@Michael M.: You mean lack of performance. If I were the GM, I would have cut the entire defense, they played like little girls. I also would have cut Ingram, and Bushrod last night, they played with no heart. And I would have stopped payment on that signing bonus for Brees if I could have.
But,other than that, we’re right on track.

I about fell out of my chair. Talk about an understatement! ‘Tested’ is not the word that comes to mind… maybe, ‘drawn & quartered’ is a better term? I know that after this game, win or lose, the DB corps will be ready for traction.
This whole dang game is a test… first, it’s MNF which has been a curse on our team since Howard Cosell. Then came John Madden who wouldn’t even call a game in the Dome. Add to that the memories of Elway’s Hollywood postgame show at SB XXXIII and this entire experience is like being put through granny’s wringer-washer.

If Weatherspoon can’t go we can’t play Robert James, his backup as he’s got a bum knee. Manning is going to throw tonight–alot. If Dent can’t handle it Peterson has to be in there in the middle. So, who plays outside? Only one I can think of is Biermann. That should be interesting.
If Clabo can’t go why is Mike Johnson out there when Garrett Reynolds natural position is rght tackle. You could plug in Konz at right guard. Makes more sense than Johnson who has so little playing time.
Let’s all hope Owens and the rest of the secondary is ready for a long night.

So JSS in lieu of just picking out all of the negativecs and stating the positives after each play of the upcoming game. How about making a concrete prediction….Put your money where your mouth is…..

By the way and on a serious note, JSS, did you do the masters as a taught course or write a dissertation/Thesis?

Why would somebody follow the CFL and UFL along with the NFL? That doesn’t make you interesting or informed, it makes you boring.

The key guys tonight are Abraham, Moore, and Nicholas. The Falcons should have blitz packages involving Moore and Nicholas. The latter has to stuff the run. Abe must be monstrous. But it will come down to how well Moore guards the middle with the corners pre-occupied.

@ Roger…
It is taught courses and the final two courses are a thesis paper and physical dissertation covering the proposed thesis presented before a master’s review board…

JSS, congrats….I’m in academia and value the hard work going into getting a degree!

The CFL is a game in itself with a history longer than the NFL… Been to three Grey Cups and two Super Bowls, both are great parties… And Warren Moon (Hall of Fame), Joe Kapp, Bud Grant, Doug Flutie, and even Jeff Garcia prove the league is not pure garbage… You better hope the UFL grows, the NFL has abandoned player development in large part… Teams that fail to draft well like say the Falcons need all the help they can get… Moreover, players who to resurrect their chance to be productive players like say crazy Odell Thurman get that chance…
Keep swinging slugger, you couldn’t handle my excitement, Fishbone is in-town next week, you’d be crawling out begging for paramedics…

If Denver establishes the run and sticks with it… They win, no score because that means they’re taking the air out of the ball…

Not sure who is more stubborn….Falcons for trying to run the ball no matter what or the Broncos refusing to run the ball when they keep having success. The winner will be the big loser.
