Las Vegas Raiders QB Desmond Ridder has said all the right things this week, leading up to a primetime matchup against his former team.
There have been few storylines surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders this season as the potential of recently signed quarterback Desmond Ridder facing his former team, the Atlanta Falcons, on Monday Night Football.
"That's just sometimes not how it works in this league," Ridder said. "Sometimes, as a backup, you only get a couple of reps throughout the week. You’ve got to get mental reps, and you’ve got to get a lot of reps when you're not out on the field. And so for me, it's just about getting as many mental reps as I can get, and then translating that onto the field.
