Week 1 was a definite low point for Ridley, losing 55-10 after coming into the season with a big belief the Liberty defence would keep us in games, the blow of allowing 55 points against the Otters was deflating to say the least. Individually Ridley’s statistical performance only 1 sack as the sole registered statistic for Ridley in that game. I was honestly fearful I was going to be dropped down the depth chart, after 2 poor preseason showings partnered with my week 1 invisible performance I was very unsure.
Conversely the return game, welcoming the Otters into Taco Bell Stadium saw Ridley register 8 tackles and 3 sacks, including a late 4th quarter sack to help make Orange County’s field goal attempt as difficult as possible. This was also my first defensive player of the game awarded by the sim, however knowing I contributed positively to the performance of the team is always the best reward. As a team it felt great to win another close game and take another step towards the playoffs.
Although my performances have been up and down; I genuinely believe my performance this season has been overall positive, and I can’t wait for season 4.
