Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay, who doubles as the co-chairman of the NFL competition committee, said Wednesday the group needs to discuss making changes to the league's overtime rules, the Associated Press reports. "Sudden death is a good procedure. It's fun and everyone knows the rules," McKay said. "I would like to see the stats change because I don't like the fact that the team winning the coin flip now wins 60 percent of the time, and the team winning the flip, 40-plus percent of the time, wins it on the first possession."

Our View:Though the lack of a formal committee proposal means rule changes will not likely happen in 2009, one of the modifications suggested was moving kickoffs up from the 30-yard line, so as to prevent from long returns that set up short game-winning drives in overtime.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that former Falcons defensive tackle Shane Dronett was found dead in his Atlanta-area home early Wednesday morning. According to reports, Gwinnett County police responded to a 911 suicide call at 7:30 a.m.

Our View:The cause of death is not yet known and a medical examiner's report could be available as soon as Thursday. Dronett, who was a member of the Falcons' 1998 Super Bowl team, was drafted by Denver in 1992 and spent an abbreviated stint in Detroit before reuniting with ex-Broncos head coach Dan Reeves in Atlanta in 1996.

The Arizona Cardinals got great jumps on rookie Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan not only because he didn't vary the snap count, but because the Cardinals noticed the signal-caller raised a heel before the snap, according to the Arizona Republic.

Our View:Nice job by the Cardinals to pick that up. The team had a few offsides penalties, but were getting noticeably good jumps off the line all day.

Rookie Matt Ryan struggled in Saturday's 30-24 loss to the Cardinals, as he completed 26-of-40 passes for 199 yards with two touchdown passes and two interceptions. He was sacked three times, one of which resulted in a safety.

Our View:The Offensive Rookie of the Year was rattled in the desert in his first playoff game, but has a bright future ahead of him and the Falcons are on the rise.
December 30, 2008
Matt Ryan has been named the 2008 Offensive Rookie of the Year, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:This was to be expected after leading the Falcons to the playoffs, while racking up 3,440 passing yards and 16 scoring strikes over 16 games, with only 11 interceptions.
