Schaub ready to assist Ryan in return to Falcons

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan believes having veteran quarterback Matt Schaub will help the offense.

Schaub had one of his best seasons as a pro under offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan while with the Houston Texans back in 2009.

“It’s great to have Matt Schaub back,” Ryan said told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday. “His experience, a guy who’s been here in Atlanta before, it’s fun to be a part of that. He’s a guy who can really help me.”

Schaub will have to beat out Sean Renfree and Matt Simms to be the No. 2 quarterback. The Falcons could elect to carry three signal callers and have Schaub as kind of a player-coach.
