If Roquan Smith didn't apparently have some kind of vendetta against Jake Matthews, he'd have as clear a lane to Desmond Ridder as you're likely to get...

I just went back and looked at some film, and Matt Ryan played with his right foot forward until the 2015 season - when Kyle Shanahan arrived in Atlanta. From then on, Matt Ryan has had his right foot back.

This may just be nothing (but it definitely could be something). Justin Fields has his right leg back at the Pro Day, but he played with his left leg back in college.

Since 2016 Matt Ryan has more passing yards and completions than any other NFL quarterback. He's also tied with Drew Brees for the second-most touchdown passes in that time with 119. Not sure how anyone could think he's not a franchise QB. #Falcons
