Arthur Smith ready to attempt Falcons tu

Arthur Smith is beginning his tenure as a first-time head coach in Atlanta, where he's joining a team featuring a franchise quarterback.That same franchise is in a bit of limbo at the position because of its standing. Atlanta has mi sed the playoffs Rob Windsor Jersey for three straight seasons despite not having any questions under center, and with the team far from the postseason after finishing 4-12 and firing its general manager and head coach, some have wondered whether a parting of ways is ahead between and the Falcons.Smith made one thing clear during his introductory pre s conference Tuesday: He and the organization need some time to determine how they see the future everywhere, including at quarterback."There's a long proce s ahead of us as we evaluate this offense," Smith said, . "... Matt Ryan has Shon Coleman Jersey been a terrific quarterback."In the four seasons since Ryan won the league's Most Valuable Player award and led the Falcons to a Super Bowl appearance, the quarterback has been steady, posing a pa ser rating of 91 or better in each of his campaigns. Ryan has proven his generous contract valuable in his play, but the Falcons are at a turning point that could include finding RJ McIntosh Jersey a replacement for the 35-year-old.Ryan's contract isn't the easiest to move, as it carries a dead cap number of $26.5 Josh Jones Jersey million for 2022. But in 2023, Ryan's dead cap number drops drastically to a mere $8.6 million in the final year of his deal. That season is still two years away, yet it makes for a potential out for the Falcons, if they can find his replacement before then.Smith is coming off a two-year Tyquan Lewis Jersey stretch in which he called an offense quarterbacked by , who won the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year award and made the Pro Bowl in 2019, and followed that up by posting a pa ser rating of 106.5 in leading the Titans to an 11-5 finish and playoff appearance. Smith gained valuable experience working in Tenne see and directing Tannehill's career revival, but doesn't nece sarily believe he'll employ the exact same approach with Ryan."(Matt) is a great leader and obviously there's a lot of things he can do, but I don't get into comparisons because we did something with Ryan," Smith said, . "It doesn't mean we're going to do the same things Indianapolis Colts T Shirts with Matt."We're going to play to Matt's strengths just like we tried to play to Ryan's strengths."
