The Atlanta Falcons hope Desmond Ridder can follow in the footsteps of Matt Ryan to become the team's franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future. This year, Ridder will have to work on combining all the components of being a capable starting quarterback rather than simply flash glimpses of it. If so, he can be the player that the Falcons opt to build around, similar to how the Philadelphia Eagles have done around Jalen Hurts. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down the Eagles' blueprint for success and why the Falcons could follow suit. 

Later, he discusses Taylor Heinicke's value to the team as a backup and potential starter and if Logan Woodside can lock down scout team duties.
