Nearly a week after trading for quarterback Matt Ryan, Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich says the 2016 NFL MVP and his new team “needed each other.'
After the Falcons traded Julio Jones and lost Calvin Ridley in the middle of last season, Ryan finished with 3,968 passing yards, which was the lowest total for him since 2010. He threw for at least 4,000 passing yards in each of the previous 10 seasons.
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan speaks during a press conference at the team's practice facility in Indianapolis March 22, 2022. The Colts have a playoff-caliber roster with seven players selected to the Pro Bowl last season, including first-team AP All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor, who became the youngest player in NFL history to total 2,000 scrimmage yards and 20 touchdowns in a season.
Reich said the Colts' offense is going to be similar to last year's with a few tweaks he hopes will play to Ryan's strengths. "We'll pull out concepts that he's done a lot in Atlanta and he's been successful with. We'll listen to how he's thought about those things, how they complement what we do, and then we'll find ways to integrate some of those things," Reich said."I can already tell in a few short discussions with him, that we will create some things together.
