Contrary to popular opinion, I think it was a smart play by Ridley to focus on disrupting the play and helping make the hail mary an incompletion. Think about it. The Falcons don't need a meaningless win. Ridley doesn't need a meaningless win. They aren't going anywhere this year. What they need is a higher draft pick to find a long term solution at QB. Lots of QBs could succeed with Jones and Ridley at WR. Many of those QBs cost less than 30 million a year and have actual leadership skills and intangibles. Ridley headhunting CGJ was actually a good move for his career and the Falcons franchise. He may be the only one who gets it on the entire roster. The Falcon's do have a great kicker, but history has proven that in the playoffs you need a QB to lead the offense, especially if you never have a great defense. If Ridley is smart he will keep disrupting key passes until someone else is throwing them and he has a legitimate chance to contend. The Eagles moved on at QB despite the specter of dead money. Its got to be frustrating to him that the Falcons refuse to do the same.
