Ryan Kalil is everything

[Jeremy Igo]

Watching the coach's film of the Green Bay game. So clear that having Ryan Kalil is everything in terms of pass protection. 

 

With Ryan Kalil in the game, Norwell is able to help Matt Kalil on 99% of the passing downs. This is the reason Matt plays so much better when his brother is on the field. Ryan allows for him to get a whole lot of help on the inside.

Ryan Kalil has been the single biggest difference maker on this team since his return, it's absolutely insane.  Not only is our pass game better, but our run game is night and freaking day.  Larsen did a good job in his stead, but Kalil is 100% a difference maker.

I couldn't believe all the fans that were calling for Ryan's head and saying he needed to be cut. The guy is a stud and was severely missed while out hurt. He will be hard to replace when he hangs em up.

I think it was more about us fans not knowing the truth. We still don't know what happened. I mean nobody believes  he just woke up with a crick in his neck that lasted half the season. Nevertheless, I'm happy Ryan is back but if there is a next time just be honest Ron!

[Ricky Spanish]

The question though is Larsen that bad or is Ryan just that good?

Because we were functional with him in there. There was plenty of room for improvement, but is he a potential serviceable starter, until we find our next great center, or is he a career backup?

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, I also think his presence is pretty evident in the run game as well.  He's a difference maker.

I really hope he plays a couple more years...  But, let's win this Super Bowl first.

And this is why a top rate center needs to be drafted and learn from Khalil now

despite what people think what we have on the roster are back ups

Ryan is that good, Top 3 center in the NFL over the last 10 years.

Hence why a true C is such a big offseaon if Ryan retires

To a degree yes but much easier to find a great center than left tackle

Kalil is an all time great Center, Gross was a very good LT....more than anything though, you got a solid, healthy player with Gross.

It is easier to replace a C, but it's going to be awfully hard to replace Kalil.

[Cary Kollins]

Come to think of it, the Falcons line became exponentially better when they signed center Alex Mack.

I'd like to spend a high round pick(2-3) on a center in this year's draft to let him learn under Ryan. If Ryan decides to play a couple more years, that would be a good trajectory for the rookie to take over at his retirement. NFL Center has to be one of the toughest positions to play mentally and physically. We want someone good to learn at his feet so to speak.
