The Falcons first-string offense continues to look in sync as Matt Ryan leads his team into the 2012 regular season. Ryan was sharp against the Dolphins on Friday night, completing 18 of 26 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown.

Analysis: Pass blocking was an issue for the Falcons last season. Miami sacked Ryan twice in this matchup, and he felt a little more pressure than in his first two games. While things are looking a little better this year, the loss of Will Svitek leaves a question mark at left tackle. Still, Ryan continues to get the ball out quickly and efficiently, completing 75 percent of his passes in three games. He has some of the best weapons in the league, and with his new offensive coordinator this season, the upside here is outstanding. Ryan's fifth year in the league is shaping up to be his best campaign yet.
