  • Another thing we’re not talking about was how good that sliding sack he took was. To start the season Ridder is throwing the ball or trying to run with the ball loose. He sees the pressure runs up into the pocket and slides. We’re forced to punt the ball but he didn’t make a bad throw into coverage.

    The decision making like minimizing sacks with throwaways, taking shorter sacks by not running outside of the play design, looking off safeties and linebackers is improving and nobody is really mentioning it. Thats the progression were looking for in him to be a game manager like we were asking for.






  • He’s really not staring down receivers like he used to though. He’s been getting to his second or third read even but generally runs after his 2nd isn’t there which wasn’t a bad thing. That throw to Bijan was not his first read and if it was he completely fooled the defense by looking the complete opposite way as he should have. They took the ball out of his hands because that’s literally what our team is built to do. If we have the lead at halftime and we’re receiving we’d better be running the ball heavy or we have an even bigger playcalling issue than any of us thought.

    You also say they took it out of his hands at the end of the game as if he hasn’t led multiple game winning drives. Taking it out of his hands at the end of the game is the least of our concerns. Keep the clock moving and kick a field goal is all we needed to do.
