FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Matt Schaub and Matt Simms have learned their lessons.

The Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks initially figure there might be at least some confusion, with their teammate being MVP candidate Matt Ryan and their position coach being Matt LaFleur. Both Schaub and Simms have come to grips with the hierarchy of Matts in the meeting room.

“Simms and I have realized over time if someone just says, ‘Matt,' they’re talking to Matt Ryan,” Schaub said, “until they say it a third time, then we’re like, ‘All right, it might be one of us.’"

Ryan’s wife, Sarah, brought a little added attention to the name game when she made reference on Twitter to the Matt foursome following team picture day.

Ryan wasn’t initially aware of his wife’s post while focused on preparing for Philadelphia. He did, however, take a moment to make light of the situation.

“We all joke about it," Ryan said. “I kind of sound, I guess, a little arrogant right now, but 95 percent of the time, they're talking to me. So I've gotten used to that. I think the other guys have gotten used to not turning their heads. I usually turn around and see who's calling."

LaFleur, who could pass as the youngest of the group, is the oldest after turning 37 last week. Schaub, the veteran signed as insurance, is 35. Ryan is 31. Simms, a practice-squad player and son of former Super Bowl MVP Phil Simms, is 28.

“I realize whenever someone is saying Matt, I don’t even look anymore,” Simms said with a laugh. “I know they don’t need me. There are more important Matts on the team.

“It’s just funny as hell that you’ve got that many guys on the team named Matt, especially with our quarterbacks coach, too. There are a ton of Matts in the building. You’ve got Matt Bryant. You’ve got Matt Bosher. You’ve got Matt [Haley] in the media department. It’s crazy.”

Both Schaub and Simms have made life easier on themselves with nicknames for Ryan.

“I usually call him, ‘Deuce,’ or ‘No. 2,’ and just refer to the other two by their last names,” Schaub said.

“Yeah, I guess we usually go by last name,” Simms added. “Except for, ‘The Ice Man.' I call him, ‘Mr. Ice.’"

That's Ryan, Matty Ice.
