Ryan Throws
 

Buried in a Q & A with Frank Reich over at Colts.com (located here) is a video embedded about halfway down of the "best" Matt Ryan throws from 2021.

A couple of observations from the video:

A. He loves to "float" long passes to his taller receivers and let them go up for them.

B. He also "threw" some long passes which got to their destination in a hurry. His arm strength looks good.

C. His offensive line was, well, offensive. He saved a lot of plays by climbing the pocket and his pocket movement looked pretty good.

D. All that said, a fair percentage of his "best" plays in 2021 ended up being more errors by the defense he was playing. He appears to do a great job of finding the receiver that the defense does not focus on and that ends up being his target. It looks good but only because the defense messed up.

If, and it is a big if with two new starters, if our offensive line can play well and our JT fueled running attack can go like last year, then this year's offense is going to be fun to watch because our "point guard" QB is going to be at his best.

Glowinski is not a huge loss. Pinter is probably better at this point. LT is the big concern.

Glo was definitely the weakest link. Pinter was good but in limited time.

Let’s hope he can hold up all year.

I am not to worried about right guard. Not that hard to find an ok guard and I think Pinter is better than ok. I have faith in the coaching staff when it comes to offensive line. Having said that, I am still a little concerned about Left Tackle.

I am most excited about having a 'point guard' QB. Wentz, to keep the analogy going, was a scoring guard. It seemed to me it was about him and him winning games. Ryan seems to be about letting the other players do the winning, if you know what I mean. He is all about team, can't wait for the season. I feel like I am to hopeful and am setting myself up for a fall but I think this is going to be a sweet season-that much sweater for what we have gone through the last 5 years.

So, you are saying that he makes the layups. Good. Brady has made a career of letting the defense mess up and capitalizing on the errors. Wentz couldn't do that if his life were on the line.

Should be a fun year, barring significant injuries.
