Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has taken a beating through the season's first three weeks. Because of that, coach Mike Smith is considering changes to Atlanta's offensive line. Smith is first looking at the team's scheme. He said it is the continuation of his trend of "competition on all positions." "We've done it earlier in the season at other positions on the team, and we'll do it at the offensive line as well," Smith said. "We'll let that play out during the week and try to put the best guys out there. That's our job as a coaching staff, to make sure we have the best guys out there to give us what we feel is the best opportunity to win."
