The Facts:
Ryan said he has been pleased with the turnout for the Falcons player-organized workouts, even if his go-to receiver, Roddy White, hasn't been a participant. "It's OK. I've talked to Roddy a bunch," he said. "He's staying in really good shape, and he'll be ready to roll when the season comes around. He knows what it takes to get ready. As it gets closer and closer, we'll get together a little bit. Might not necessarily be here, but we'll get together a little bit and get some good work."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ryan has been at the center of the effort to keep the Falcons together during the lockout and White's absence notwithstanding, it appears the fourth-year QB is acquiring a whole different set of leadership chops. He writes the script for each day's workout. He also has helped coordinate media coverage of the sessions. According to the AJC, teammates on both sides of the ball are getting a whole new view of their young QB. "With no coaches here, he is our coach on the field. Getting out here early, getting the offense clicking, getting things organized - that's huge right now," safety William Moore said. Fantasy Football owners should also view it as another step forward for Ryan.
