Matt Ryan continues to get beat up due to poor Falcons offensive lines

You can say the same things about the Falcons offensive line as you can with the defense. Matt Ryan continues to get knocked around because the Falcons are built to pass the ball but yet they can hardly pass block.

The best line that Ryan has played behind happens to be the one that took them to a Super Bowl. It just shows what this guy can do when he actually receives help.

Think about what is happening in Seattle with Russell Wilson. Russell may end up leaving because of the franchise’s neglect of the offensive line. It shows that even little things like that can change your loyalty to a certain city.

Matt Ryan has been sacked 163 times since 2017, which is the third most behind Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson.

The constant pressure on him has continued into this season.

Week one and week two had Ryan running for his life, and he did about everything he could to avoid being taken down even more.

While he has only been sacked eight times, so far, he has been under constant pressure almost every game. He has not received enough credit for avoiding sacks.

Not only has he not benefitted from his blockers, but he also has not had a good running game every year.

Simply put, Matt has not had much going for him while playing quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons
