Im watching Playbook on NFLN and I had not seen this play yet.
They are breaking down the Falcons and talking about how much of a beast Matt Ryan is and they show this play that demonstates just how much of a NATURAL this guy is at QB. In all my years of watching TONS of football every weekend, I have NEVER seen a QB pull this off. Its just brilliant.
Matt Ryan takes a snap and turns to fake a pitch play. You think you have seen some brilliant play action fakes in your life? Nah. Not till you see this. Matt Ryan turns and actually pitches the ball to HIMSELF. He motions as if he is pitching it to the RB who is running hard to the left. The key is he spreads his arms and exposes empty hands to the defense that is behind him. But, he catches the ball himself and rolls a bit to the right as he turns around and completes a beautiful pass. The fake throws everyone off guard.
Im telling you guys this kid is a natural. There have been some great QBs who have had some great play fakes but this is the king of all fakes. Not only does it convince the defense that its a toss play, but just think of how many times in the future they can actually execute the toss to the RB and the defense will have to respect the fact that Ryan could be tossing it to himself again. That extra split second could make the difference in the running back ripping off a huge gain. That fake will freeze defenses like no other fake in history. Now thats taking play action to a whole new level. Matt Ryan is such a beast.
And before anyone suggests but, yea what if he had dropped the ball. Well what if he did? What if he throws a pick? Just let me know when he ever drops the ball on that fake. Until then, pipe down and just admit how brilliant that play fake is. Wait till you see it if you didnt see it the other day.
Damn we really ****ed up not drafting this guy.
