Hiring a driver has given Matt Ryan more time to be prepared for games

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- When asked if Matt Ryan reminded him of any other quarterback he has worked with over the years, veteran Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks coach Greg Knapp didn't hesitate with his response.

"His preparation for the game is much like Peyton Manning's in that he leaves no stone unturned," Knapp said of Ryan. "Coach [Dan] Quinn always tells us, 'Quiz your players. Challenge them. See if they know the game plan.' When Sark [offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian] and I are in the room, it's almost the other way around, like Matt's going to challenge us.
