Desmond Ridder Week 5 2023 Analysis

[@jjrolltide]

Also Desmond had great Quarterback cadence this game . He also drew Four encroachment penalties all in the 1st half. He really learning how to take command of the line of scrimmage.

[@Angrychef-jx8bp]

All depends on the line, make or break for this O

[@greencat1849]

It's fascinating being able to see him develop every game through this channel. Thanks a ton for these breakdowns.

[@randylewisjr3999]

Definitely bro… same thing i was sayin

[@topher3178]

He’s so bad 😂

[@Nfl360]

Dude has heart. Everyone was tearing him down after that disaster in London but to come out and have a game like this is HUGE.

[@slimpickens9103]

Ridders got heart to keep fighting through all the clamor from some folks/media. Way to step up bro.

[@jaymogul25]

I've been saying it for a while. The Falcons have had a multitude of issues, whether it was play call or lack of receiver separation etc. Not just Ridder! Thank you for not taking the easy way out like most just blaming Ridder. Love the work you do.

[@JohnnyR-kt4oo]

That part!

[@JohnnyR-kt4oo]

Van Jefferson trade pick up is intriguing and hopefully his play can elevate the offense team etc.

[@sleepy858]

I don't think anyone denied the other issues, but Ridder was magnifying them. This game he covered up for the mistakes.

[@jaymogul25]

@JohnnyR-kt4oo I'm hoping that he adds speed to an otherwise slow receiver core. At best, he allows us to stretch the field more at worst he's a wasted 6th round pick.

[@yokoblitt2157]

@@jaymogul25if they use Scotty Miller more often that would also help with that

[@newdayatmidnight]

I loved seeing him make that tackle after the Jonnu fumble.

[@TheChadD315]

One thing i noticed was the positive energy from teammates when catches were made. Guys who didn't catch the ball were excited.

[@Jcindacut]

Just traded for Van Jefferson. So some of the speed, spacing, route pattern concerns will be addressed with him now added

[@mrdgenerate]

Hopefully

[@sleepy858]

That's the hope, it's up to him to do it now.

[@jaylew651]

@@sleepy858he will if the oline continue the okay they have been doing in pass pro and if the Wr and Rb hang on to the ball limit turnovers.

[@rip8564]

Yep. Looks like our receiver room is getting some coaching this week. Sell those routes - even when you aren’t getting the ball! Help your young QB out.

[@evanfoerster]

it’s so amazing to be able to understand Arthur Smiths play calling and Ridders decision making. Awesome breakdown man.

[@Danny4Johnson]

I was looking for this video at like 2 this morning

[@markbrooksjr6330]

I’m a football fan. Ridder is compelling to me. Thanks for doing another vid for him

[@Angrychef-jx8bp]

Fucking love Keith Smith, hope he gets more touching. #MakeFullbacksGreatAgain

[@fixxxer3456]

It was nice to see have a huge game in the air....feels like he is finally turning a corner. Hope he keeps it up

[@kalevin7]

Appreciate the Ridder love!

[@davidhyman144]

Your stuff rocks, please keep it coming

[@sleepy858]

First time he really won a game for us, couldn't be happier for him and the team. Hope that builds his confidence and we get some consistency from the young guy. Everyone mentions how young GB's offense is. But ours is as well, so hopefully these route running issues will get better.

[@Lurkartiist]

Ridder looked very sharp regardless of the weak secondary . The notable changes are how he’s making reads and how comfortable he looks . Oline protection can make or break a QB, at least now he’s give an fair chance .

[@wubranch1]

I think Ridder is one of those guys that does everything good. He has a good arm, a good feel for the game, good athleticism/speed and can make plays. Does he always jump off the tape, no, but I think he’s more talented than any of the mid-tier guys. I think he’s a top tenish QB by end of the season.

[@falcon0886]

in potential.. hes hasn't proved enough for me to even say hed be a average qb by the end of the season. Hes not terrible tho.

[@prophetmaster4997]

Lmfaoooooo fuck no. Top 20 if he's lucky

[@mind_of_dro]

no. consistency isn't there. I don't think he'll ever be a superstar (hopefully he does) but there is a place for him in this league. he has the heart

[@frankl3518]

Great day from Ridder. Like most NFL QBs, he's much better when the protection is there. Way too much Zone from Houston. The Falcons recievers can't separate vs NFL DBs. They are good at finding the voids vs Zone and Arthur Smith was flooding them. Alot of half field reads with defenders covering grass. Ridder looked much more assertive and confident

[@YPTVEE]

He look so much poised this game . Fantastic game

[@87475u]

8 or pitts is also still coming off an injury so he looks slower

[@mrdgenerate]

Maybe the Van Jefferson trade Falcons just made from the Rams will help with a quick receiver.

[@deepwaterwalk]

Seriously look forward to your videos every week. Great channel. Solid analysis. Thanks for what you're doing, brother.

[@jmoe5090]

This what I’ve been waiting for. Thanks for the upload.

[@M2MJACOBY]

He puts 51 in a blender, 51 is a guy out there, got me🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kbonics25]

Finally!!! Been waiting on this analysis to post!!

[@evanfoerster]

when Desmond is on target he throws absolute bullets on a rope

[@juchanan9680]

Why does Pitts not doing any cuts on his routes for separation? He rounds everything off, I'm hoping it's because he's not 100% from his knee and not because that's just how he runs it. Looks fairly guardable

[@Zshaf_6.7]

Love the content was looking for this video earlier today was disappointed when I didn’t see it but happy it made the cut this week very happy with Desmond ridder at home and this game was by far his best so far

[@kylelay6858]

Love to see when Des does well. Bearcats fan here

[@TopSoulMan]

"Never seena fullback on a go route through the A gap" What an insane playcall lol

[@abacot24]

Great video. Can’t wait to view more

[@dznArro]

The thing that will hold Ridder back is being inconsistent. If he can keep improving every week his ceiling is Alex Smith and that's enough to win a SB and a huge W for the Falcons considering he's a 3rd round pick

[@jjrolltide]

Alex smith and Jeff Garcia was my draft comp for Ridder .

[@timwatchesmovies]

Why is being Alex Smith enough to win a SB?

[@syminite1]

Naw shawty, Ridder makes plays he is much more than a game manager which is what Alex Smith is.

[@jjrolltide]

@@timwatchesmovies Being a game manger. Most game manger QBs succeeds from good play calling and having a great skill player around him. If Desmond can just make the simple throws not turn the ball over the rest of the team will play out it self .

[@timwatchesmovies]

@@jjrolltideWhat reason is there to believe that a quarterback matching said description is enough to win a SB?

[@yokoblitt2157]

Long as Ridder is playing at home he will be aiight it’s when he goes on the road is when he plays like he never played a game in his life

[@steveass1055]

Ridder hss looked terrible at home this season, aside from the 4th qtr comebacks, this was the first time he looked good in his career and he looked really good, hopefully its him finding his way in the nfl

[@aidanconrad6117]

​@@steveass1055Well he's still never lost at home though

[@steveass1055]

@@aidanconrad6117 that wasnt my point...

[@orangegod1037]

A bigger improvement from last week for sure

[@TDizzzzle]

The vibes were rock bottom last week, what a roller coaster the last 7 days was

[@mind_of_dro]

fixed a lot of rookie mistakes. there is a place for Desmond in this league

[@supermario100100]

Im so excited to see how we perform against Washington Ridder is getting comfortable in the pocket.

[@sambissett6190]

As a Texans fan, I had little expectations for Ridder based on what I read pregame. I thought despite having a couple DBs out they would pressure him early and make him cough up the ball a couple times. Instead, Ridder showed out, looked super crisp, and the Falcons' OL was stout almost the whole game. Didn't think I'd find myself wanting to keep up with Desmond Ridder, but after that performance and this breakdown video I'm eager to see how he progresses. Fun game for Falcons fans and they've got a solid squad.

[@icekapp7221]

Hopefully Van Jefferson will provide the speed to spring some of the other Falcon stars.

[@leafsfan71]

Thank you! Love it!!!!

[@zacstephen6197]

Great video brother. Really enjoyed it from start to finish 🙌🏽

[@mathieulachapelle]

Thanks for this analysis

[@atlfalcon311]

I was so happy to see this. Thank you

[@arthurbynum]

My only complaint. I can't wait till he starts to trust putting the ball a little deeper. Like the Pitts wheel route for example. Throw it to End zone overtop

[@jeremyschneidt4258]

on the throw to collins the corner on the outside looked like illegal contact causing the clear out to bog down

[@ready1take1]

very informative, great work

[@forcethechange5732]

Thanks for some Falcons love

[@joshllorens4514]

Really just need Ridder to get his shit together when the team is away

[@erikaedwards7313]

It’s not just Ridder 🙄

[@usefulenergy1898]

I need you to do a breakdown of Carson Beck vs Kentucky. Some of those balls were so spot on! Consider it. Please

[@rip8564]

Kyle Pitts. Love him and want him to succeed so much BUT it just looks like the effort is not there sometimes - is he hurt? Is the knee giving him problems? He had a good day but he could be elite in this league.

[@randylewisjr3999]

Thanks bro!!!!!

[@CrennyCren06]

Hopefully this level of play is sustainable

[@ConnorXC7]

Great vid

[@arkang3l80]

I love it

[@Brickkbabyy1]

Thank you 🙌🏽

[@benvicks]

What do you think about the trade for van Jefferson? Think it helps Desmond more?

[@diggledwarf]

Lets go Dirty Bird!!!!!!!

[@ChumblesMumbles]

On that last play, you see two receivers in the same area yet again. If Pitts hadn't been running slow he would have been right on top of the intended target. Atlanta's offense needs a little update - they keep having multiple receivers in the same area.

[@Gamma_Labs]

If ridder doesn't make the tackle its a td

[@nigel0]

I want to see less of what we saw at 12:23 from Ridder. That’s been a bad habit throw of his all season. But otherwise, I think ATL absolutely has something to work with in Des.

[@ChumblesMumbles]

You know that the coaches are going to be pointing out that tackle in the film session just like JT did.

[@mikemosby8000]

Where do you get access to the all-22s?

[@AlDo-x3u]

where do you find these game films?

[@JustinPyndus]

So for the mesh railroad concept (24:10 ish), is number 16 just not involved? He was wide open.

[@panchotheaddict420]

he was the 5th read and ridder didnt have the timne to get to him...

[@LAJay-m8u]

Awesome video but on that mesh play I think I would’ve hit the 4th option Scotty miller turned that dude and was open for 6

[@emperorscoop7416]

He has potential

[@shadrach.indigo]

i feel like that corner on play 1 was supposed to be a 10 yd out, that would make a lot more sense.. very sloppy route if so

[@bendelatore451]

In your professional opinion, do you think the Falcons will give him the starting job next year if he continues on the path he’s on now?

[@panchotheaddict420]

DUH!

[@dznArro]

if he continues this is a play off team so yes

[@randylewisjr3999]

Bro great i fuck love this channel don’t remember how i found it but its the fuckin best bro!!!!

[@TheQBSchool]

Appreciate ya

[@marcusturner3131]

The fact that Scotty isn't even in the progression at 24:32 is painful cause he had his man LOST.

[@TheQBSchool]

Scotty doesn’t know

[@TheGeorgiaMediaGroup]

Ridder improvement this week was several factors. One was ridder is seeing the field better. But that was due to no blitz packages really for Houston. So without pressure Like all qbs. U can go threw reeds. And other factor was the Houston secondary is worst I have ever seen. Let’s see him on the road. Under pressure

[@jamesstephenson4544]

I think Des needs to work on his PA as well, sometimes it is obvious a PA. But for the first time in his career, he looked like an NFL QB to me.

[@iAmJuiceWrld]

Dr9 🔥

[@bentleyfatheree1616]

When the Texans get this figured out they are going to be a problem

[@mediocrely_extraordinary0246]

Arthur needs to either hire a passing game coordinator or stop exclusively targeting 6'4"+ receivers who can't separate. I think Pitts has a bit of an excuse because he's still clearly not 100% from last year's injury but I've been disappointed with London this year.

[@johnnyvilla5624]

Is he ready for a week 6 start??😅

[@glazedbagels9933]

Should’ve rated London this video too lol

[@calvinsmediocrechannel8103]

Thanks for hilighting how awful the play designs are.

[@kennethkellett3474]

I'm happy you can breakdown the plays after the fact but unfortunately we realize that Arthur Smith is calling the plays. The problem is Smith fails to read the defensive schemes and sets up Ridder for failure. The other problem is forcing Ridder to conform to an absolute stupid play calls that are far over complicated and unmanageable, you have a rookie qb which by all means you should run a similar offense to what Ridder ran in college and transition through the year to your scheme if it wasn't completely unrealistic. Nice analysis but would be nice if you point out the before and after along with the defensive set up already anticipating smith's horrible play calling.
