How’s this for a job description? Your primary responsibilities include being the anchor of the Atlanta Falcons’ much-maligned offensive line. You’ll spend much of your upcoming Sunday night trying to keep Fletcher Cox, Timmy Jernigan, Hassan Ridgeway, and Akeem Spence from wrecking both your running game and pass protection.
Oh, and by the way, you have to get the snap to Matt Ryan on every offensive play without complication. Good luck with that Alex Mack.
Calvin Ridley, wide receiver
Here’s where Atlanta can do some damage. Is anyone else noticing that Rasul Douglas and Sidney Jones, who were so great in the Spring and Summer, are struggling in real-game action?
In Week 1, Matt Ryan threw two touchdown passes. Julio Jones caught one. Calvin Ridley caught the other. He could be a bit of a Wildcard in Week 2. Philly better make sure that they know where he is at all times.
