Desmond Ridder Leading Atlanta To The Playoffs? Bijan Robinson HEATING UP! Falcons News & Rumors
plenty to talk about on offense today but I want to start the video off by showing a little love to this Falcons defense rough three straight games coming into this one but they kept New Orleans out of the end zone a couple of field goals and Jessie Bates had a 92 yard pick six so if you enjoyed kicking the Saints ass if you enjoy being at the top of the NFC south then hit that Thumbs Up Button because we are not going anywhere we're going to get you guys more Falcons content and if the wins keep coming who knows we could be
talking about playoffs baby so with that being said let's jump into Today's Show what's going on everyone coming up on today's show we're going to talk about the Ritter roller coaster right where do we stand with Desmond with everything we saw on Sunday with a lot of good but also a lot of bad and then we're going to talk about bejan Robinson and Drake London as the two former eighth overall picks are getting rolling at the perfect time heading into the final stretch of the year but let's talk
about Mr Desmond Ritter so in week 12 he went 13 for 21 168 yards one beautiful touchdown pass might I add to bejan Robinson and two bad interceptions so I feel like we have an idea as to who Desmond Ritter is at this point of his career he's a box score nightmare right if you go box score hunt you are not what you are not going to like what you see out of Desmond Ritter although I think if you watch the games and I mean watch the games not passively not having it on one of the TVs right but actually sitting down and watching
the games you see a lot of really impressive throws from Desmond Ritter right he had that beautiful throw to Drake London where he layered it in between two Defenders we've seen a lot of arm strength from dr9 we've seen a lot of downfield accuracy from Ritter like the individual moments they are there like he's had a lot of good games it's just the turnovers which is so maddening because if he reduce the turnovers man the tone around Desmond Ritter would be extremely different don't you think like if this is not a
guy who's turned it over five times in the Red Zone alone let alone all the other turnovers he's had we are talking about Desmond Ritter being the franchise quarterback moving forward and lucky for him he still has a lot of games left to prove himself and to maybe find a starting job Beyond 2023 in Atlanta but it's the red zone I mean like he is a nightmare in the Box SCH like I said but in between the 20 yard lines he's a pretty average to above average Quarterback that I don't mind seeing
Atlanta start for this year because for starters they don't have another better option I don't think you have a better chance of winning with Taylor hinei and two there's no trades happening we are months away from the draft of course there's no wi in free AG agency that's going to walk in and save the day or anything like that so Desmond Ritter is the best guy you got at this point and if he can just and I know we've said this for weeks on end and we're kind of at the point now where it's probably not
going to change but if he can find a way to be a little bit smarter with the football when he gets towards the end zone this could be a very different Falcons team going into the final stretch of the year but let me know can Desmond Ritter get Atlanta to the playoffs this is the pinned comment so YouTube she likes to put ad breaks around this time if you do get one scroll on down type yes or no now personally I think Desmond Ritter can get the job done and get the Falcons to the playoffs because their schedule
is so easy and we're going to look at it later on and it's laughable like I know it's the NFL right the Falcons lost to the Cardinals for crying out loud but still there is just no one really out there that scares me so I think Ritter can get Atlanta to the playoffs if you go back and look at recent playoff history there are some random quarterbacks who have started playoff games I mean talk about good timing our producer today is Jeremy chugs a Texans fan if there's anyone in the world that
knows random quarterbacks playing in playoff games it is Texans fan TJ Yates give me the Yates of hell yeah so maybe Desmond Ritter can be the Yates of Hell in 2023 so I do believe that Desmond Ridder might not look like a playoff quarterback but I do think with good defense and bejon Robinson and a really easy schedule he can get to nine wins and that wouldn't be enough in a lot of other divisions but it probably will be enough in the NFC South now next up on the show we're going to talk about bejon
Robinson Drake London are they breaking out what to expect out of the Falcons top two offensive weapons but really quickly I want to highlight our our awesome sponsor today prize picks now let's just cut to the chase here Monday Night Football might not look great on paper Bears Vikings but if you want to stay engaged and locked in on the game go to priz picks.

and Drake London as London went off for five grabs 91 yards and he looks like the part he looks the part of a true number one wide receiver in my eyes he does everything you want to see he's got great route running abilities he's got Surefire hands he's got incredible speed he can climb up a tree but bejan Robinson man we are starting to get a good taste of what to expect for I believe the next decade in Atlanta and that is the future Falcons alltime leading rusher number seven bejon Robinson because Arthur Smith finally
went on Twitter and he listen to us I know he watches the show because we were begging for bean it made no sense to use a top 10 pick on a running back have an offense that you designed you handpicked to be a run first off offense and then asked Desmond Ridder to throw the ball 40 times finally bejon is getting a good amount of usage the last two games 38 carries 186 rushing yards 43 through the air he's averaging nearly five yards a pop on the ground and three touchdowns it never computed in my brain why Arthur
Smith wanted to build a team around running the football and then started off the year not going to the ground with bej Robinson but finally I think he just decided you know what keep it simple stupid come on Michael Scott let's just give the ball to bejon Robinson let's throw the ball to Drake London and what's a bit ironic is Kyle Pitts had the fewest amount of snaps he's had all season on Sunday but we'll talk about that later on but I think a big reason why we're seeing a you know a
big spike from bejan is he's getting great offensive line play including his left guard Matthew berson the rookie from Syracuse who posted unreal numbers from PFF in week 12 an overall grade of 94.9 they don't give out 94.9 very often it's extremely rare to find a grade over 90 so to find one at nearly 95 is astonishing run blocking 92.6 pass blocking 71.
6 I also don't get how the Run blocking and pass blocking can be lower than the overall sometimes I don't get PFF but you know what when it fits your narrative you push it down people's throats that's what PFF is all about so with Drake London looking like Drake London Desmond Ritter just you know managing the game more or less great defense the rookies are heating up Falcons back are the Falcons back they play who nobody that's who they play the Falcons are back I'm ready to declare it right now Atlanta is back I
did not quit on this team when they were sitting at four- six riding a three-game winning streak we made Sunday a must win game for Atlanta against the Saints and they answered the call offense defense special teams everyone got the job done for ATL and now we look at what they have in front of them six games to go and it's easy I mean I understand it's the NFL but all these teams are not just bad teams for the most part except for the Colts I'd say they're in a bad spot like let's go game by game the Jets are
starting Tim Bole that's embarrassing that's a downright embarrassment not to the Jets but to the entire National Football League that should be a dub week 14 against the Bucks they started off 2-0 and they are 2 and seven in their last nine games I like Atlanta going into that matchup at home by the way then they go to the Panthers who just fired Frank Reich now hopefully no one else hired Frank Reich or else have a Third Reich and we know how that goes but the Panthers not in a good spot week 16 they got the Colts definitely the
toughest game but at least it's at home so the Colts have been good on the road compared to at home this season but at home against Indie yeah I think that's a winnable game week 17 at Chicago might be tougher than it looks just because playing in Chicago in December is not a fun time but I think they are the better team than the Bears right now especially in the trenches and that might be the Difference Maker like it was last year and then they round out the year in New Orleans against a Saints team they just
beat up one by nine points and did not allow Derek Carr into the end zone once so let's look at the updated NFC Playoff Picture going into week 12 the Bears and Vikings play tonight but although that really does not impact Atlanta the Falcons are not interested in the wild card in my eyes like maybe they could sneak in although it doesn't look really likely that we're going to get two NFC South teams at this rate for the Falcons it's really simple it's keep Pace with the Saints right Atlanta five- six New
Orleans five- Six if the Falcons and Saints more or less had the same record moving forward it's going to be Atlanta at 8-9 or 9-8 winning the NFC playoff or winning the NFC South and getting probably that final spot of the division winners now before I show you my playoff picture my prediction who do you guys think will win the division Falcons Saints or Buccaneers let me know Down Below in the comment section who you think is going to win this Division I think it's pretty safe to say who I think is going to win this Division I
believe I truly do believe this as well Atlanta will be hosting a playoff game for the first time in a long time and the first time under Arthur Smith I mean we can look at the playoff prediction I have to the very bottom Jeremy of the playoff picture and here is PD's prediction so I've got the Eagles taking the number one seed with a 14 and3 record I've got the 49ers I think San Francisco beats Philly For What It's Worth next week but the Eagles have too big of a lead to blow the number one
seed spot I've got the Lions coming in at 13 and4 I've got the Falcons coming in at 9 and8 and then what about the Cowboys coming in at 12 and5 Seahawks I'm really mad at myself for this one because I said before the year they're not going to make the playoffs but I don't know who to who to put in ahead of them I don't think the Packers are legit and I don't think the Vikings are legit but I do think the Rams squeak in um gonna take Matthew Stafford Aaron Donald and Cooper cup over a six-game stretch
over Jordan love and Josh dos so I think the Rams could get it done and make the playoffs and have NFC West showdown in the first round of the playoffs that's going to do it for us on today's show thank you
