Partly based on Matt Ryan's solid 9-of-15, 117-yard, one-touchdown showing in his NFL debut at Jacksonville on Saturday night, and partly based on the rave reviews I heard coming from Falcons decision makers, I'd be surprised if the rookie quarterback isn't Atlanta's opening-day starter against visiting Detroit. The rebuilding Falcons could still opt to play it safe with the No. 3 overall pick and go with veteran Chris Redman as their starter for the first few weeks of the season, but I think that's becoming more of a long shot by the day. Standing alongside new Atlanta general manager Thomas Dimitroff during a morning practice, I heard him detail just how many things he already likes about Ryan's still-formulating NFL game, like how the ex-Boston College star already has a good sense for where to go with the football on most plays, and how his command of both Atlanta's offense and the Falcons huddle has grown by leaps and bounds since the team's offseason mini-camp. Ryan "has a nice feel for sliding around in the pocket, with the ability to feel the pressure and get away from it,'' Dimitroff told me, likening it to that trademark part of Tom Brady's game in New England, Dimitroff's former employer. "You have to like the way he stands tall in the pocket and the poise he already shows back there.''
