SEATTLE — All of the rookies – even the undrafted rookies – are getting playing time except for backup quarterback Desmond Ridder.
Wide receiver Jared Bernhardt (seven offensive snaps, 12%) and linebacker Nathan Landman (12 defensive snaps, 10%) played in the 27-23 victory over the Seahawks on Sunday.
“We’re trying to build this thing right,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said. “Some guys got some more snaps today. Guys like Landman and Bernie (Bernhardt). They played a little more today, which was good for them. We need to continue to develop depth in these young guys, and it takes everybody to win.”
Ridder was the only player on the 53-man roster who did not see any action.
