Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris delivered his thoughts on now-Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Desmond Ridder.
first-year head coach Raheem Morris said at February's NFL Combine that he likely wouldn't have his job if the Falcons' quarterbacks played better in 2023.Atlanta is sliding, having lost four consecutive games. Ridder is now with the Las Vegas Raiders and has a chance to start their next game -- next Monday night against the Falcons.
"If he gets an opportunity to play, I'm sure he'll have a full practice week. He'll be prepared in the right way. He'll be ready for us. A familiar opponent, some people he knows, and I know we’ve got to get ready for him as well." In four appearances this season, all in relief, Ridder is 28-of-44 passing for 239 yards and one touchdown. He went 12 for 18 for 108 yards after replacing O'Connell in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
