Atlanta Falcons Must be Patient With Desmond Ridder Becoming Starting Quarterback

Aaron discusses the final day of joint practices between the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars and why we should be patient with Desmond Ridder potentially taking over the starting spot. First, he discusses Dee Alford's strong day of practice but why it probably doesn't mean a lot in terms of his place on the depth chart. Then, he dives into the timeline on when Ridder might see his first start as well as what Marcus Mariota has to do in the first few months of the season to keep the rookie passer at bay. Finally, he discusses four changes he'd make to his 53-man roster prediction and which players he sees sticking on the practice squad ahead of the preseason finale vs. the Jaguars.
