The Atlanta Falcons are all set to take on the Houston Texans at Mercedes Benz stadium at 1pm. Desmond Ridder is looking to redeem himself after his awful performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars. C.J. Stroud will be looking to continue on his rookie tear, but Arthur Smith has to worry about his young quarterback dealing with people calling for his job after the way he played in London.
Landry Fields and the Atlanta Hawks decided to re-sign Dejounte Murray and trade away John Collins as they are trying to get out of mediocrity in the Eastern Conference. With Trae Young and Quin Snyder seemingly in sync, the Hawks are looking to make a lot more noise in the postseason.Tenitra Batiste, Maria Martin and Jarvis Davis talked about who has the most pressure now that this new regime is fully in place. Also, they discussed whether or not the Hawks will regret trading Collins to the Utah Jazz.
The team wrapped things up talking about how the Atlanta Braves will be ready to take on the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS. Also, the Georgia Bulldogs look to remain undefeated against the Kentucky Wildcats as well.

Is Desmond Ridder playing for his job on Sunday?
he better be like you said don't embarrass me these last two weeks have been gut-wrenching
I’d say no in response to the Desmond Ridder question. Arthur Smith’s arrogance & pride doesn’t render a “I made a mistake in evaluating Ridder’s capabilities in the offseason when naming him the uncontested starter”
Ridder needs time but i hope they dont wait as long as they did last yr. Put in Heineke light that fire under him. Do a rotation between the two and see.
This ain't college. His "coworkers" are expected to produce (in their positions), and they expect him to produce as well.
I do not think the problem is Ridder. He is getting steamrolled. He is small for a NFL QB but so was Joe Montana….You must protect him
One more loss that is because of Ridder & sit him…
Ridder can play better and I believe he will. Let’s rip apart the Texans.
This is so ridiculous, been saying this since last year, Ridder isn’t a NFL starting Quarterback, he’s a backup at best, stop with this believe theory, how can a game manager, manage the game then win it at the end 🤦, it doesn’t work like that.
Ridder is just like Davis Mills from Houston last year, Mills is a backup so is Ridder , now will the Falcons go get another quarterback? I’m going to say yes but are we going to get the best one ? I’m going to say No because we draft very poorly 😢. Arthur Smith is hurting us with his decision making skills, eye for talent, run first offense scheme, coaching is more the talking tough during the preseason.
This is Ridders rookie season. He will play like a rookie until he gets experience. Remember Bradshaw and Aikman's rookie seasons? All we can hope for is next season. For now. It is what it is. We'll be lucky to win 6 games. I'm not here to bash anyone, I'm just facing reality.
The longer it take for this team to accept the truth about Ridder, the longer we will be in QB purgatory. He is just a poor man's Mariota, and we moved on from Mariota.
