While the Atlanta Falcons No. 1 quarterback Matt Ryan is nursing his toe injury, the team’s No. 2 quarterback Chris Redman sees some hope in making a first start since putting on Falcons jersey in 2007. This first start would be against the Philadelphia Eagles.
To Redman, the job itself is not the difficult part as he played all but the first drive as Ryan’s replacement in last weekend’s 20-17 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and overcame five sacks, an inconsistent running game and two dropped touchdown passes by Roddy White. The difficult part is to get the chance. And now he has the chance, and the veteran quarterback feels anxious all this week.
"Yeah, pretty much," he said. "You kind of just go through your routine that you've stuck with over the years. Just try not to get to nervous and go out there and have fun."
Against the Buccaneers, Redman completed 23 of 41 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. Hopefully he would do better while playing against the Patriots.
