| 11th May, 2008 - 12:43 pm |  NFL.com - Rookie quarterback Matt Ryan battled jitters as he made his debut for the Falcons in practice on Saturday, according to The Associated Press.
"I thought Matt threw the ball well out there," said Falcons' Coach Mike Smith. "Like anybody going out there on his first practice, I thought he was a little bit nervous and had some jitters."
Veteran receiver Brian Finneran agreed with Smith regarding Ryan's rookie jitters.
"I caught it, but I knew he probably was not happy with the way that first one came out," Finneran said, adding he was impressed that Ryan walked up and promised the next pass attempt would come with more authority.
"The next one was gorgeous," Finneran added. "He made up for it."
Ryan is happy that he was a little experience under his belt now.
"It was a fun first day," Ryan said. "It's nice to have it under your belt at this point."
"I think everybody is anxious when it's their first practice, their first time out. I was. It's just nice to have that over and settle in. I'm just kind of in the flow." [READ] |
