Who stood out in Falcons second preseason game against New York Jets

How about we talk the freshman at this point.

Something Arthur Smith has talked for a long time about all through instructional course and the preseason is needing to perceive how players answer disappointment. He needs to see players quickly return when things separate, and in the second quarter of Monday night's down, things separated.

Punishments descended upon the Falcons offense in the subsequent quarter. Jalen Mayfield was required a premature move when the Falcons were taking a gander at a fourth down circumstance from the Jets one yard line. It was a second that saw Smith heatedly get after Ridder and the hostile line as they advanced toward the sideline a short time later.

The Falcons safeguard got a stop, however, and the second-group offense got the ball back with two minutes left in the half. Ridder quickly returned from the past drive well. He looked fresh with his passes and saw a good outcome tracking down Jared Bernhardt for three passes for 67 yards. However, once more, punishments amassed. Hostile property and an unlawful shift kept the Falcons out of the endzone, and they made due with a short field objective from Younghoe Koo to end the half.

Regardless of the mistakes, it ought to be noticed that Ridder kept on answering with the punishments by getting something going for move the ball downfield. Feleipe Franks came in at quarterback partially through the second from last quarter, so Ridder's night finished with the freshman quarterback going 10-for-13 through the air with 143 yards. Not a terrible detail line generally. 

Quite possibly of the greatest commendation I could give somebody is that I notice when they're not on the field. I felt as such with Ogundeji on Monday night. He just had two handles, one for a misfortune, in his appearance, however he got things going when he was in. Ogundeji was dependably around the ball all through the three series he was in for.

He got strong infiltration a couple of times, and put a touch of squeeze on the Jets handles. Ogundeji was required a roughing the passer call as he fell forward into Mike White's legs on third down. He - and Smith - could have done without the call, yet the protection held up a while later, and Ogundeji completed his late evening setting - to me at any rate - that he's a significant piece of this ongoing safeguard as well as what the external linebacker position is effectively attempting to develop into.
