The Facts: Ryan won't be asked to simulate the mobility Robert Griffin III routinely flashed under Kyle Shanahan in Washington. But Ryan could be asked to throw on the move more often in this system. There are three times as many designed out-of-the-pocket plays compared to the offense of former OC Dirk Koetter. "I think it's a good fit," Ryan said of Shanahan's scheme. "Obviously, I've been able to move around at different times in my career. ... I feel like I'm capable of doing it. I've got no issues with that. Like I said, I think it will be a good fit."
Diehards Line:
Throws out of the pocket weren't a staple under Koetter the previous three seasons. According the ESPN Statistics and Information, Ryan attempted 93.1 percent of his passes from inside the pocket between 2012-14, which ranked sixth in the NFL behind Tom Brady (96.4), Peyton Manning (96.0), Chad Henne (94.3), Carson Palmer (94.2) and Philip Rivers (94.1). By comparison, Shanahan's offense with the Browns last season ranked 30th out of 32 teams in pass attempts from the pocket at 83.7 percent. When Shanahan was with the Redskins in 2012-13, their percentage from the pocket was 87.3 percent, which ranked 25th in the league. Going back to Ryan's last season under Mike Mularkey (2011), he attempted 86.4 percent of his passes from inside the pocket, which ranked 26th among 34 qualified quarterbacks. ... As ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure suggests, no franchise wants to see its $20 million a year quarterback open himself up for body shots on a regular basis.
