Doug Pederson had a seven word response to playing Calvin Ridley and the Titans on Sunday

Doug Pederson spoke to the media this week about preparing to play Titans WR Calvin Ridley and the importance of a divisional game.

On what challenges Titans WR Calvin Ridley presents

Doug: I just think, obviously his speed and athleticism, right? He’s such an excitable, energetic guy and that’s what he brings to them offensively. A guy that you have to—with the speed that he has, it’s real, and you’ve got to be prepared for that and be in the right position. He can beat you over the top, he can beat you across the field and he’s tough. He brings some swagger and some energy. So, those are things we’re going to have to match.

On if playing the Titans this week brings extra energy to the team

Doug: Yeah. Any time you play an AFC South opponent, especially Tennessee, it’s always been close football games. They’re physical games. A couple of years ago, it came down to the last regular season game, and last year the same thing. So, we know what these games are going to be. It’s one of those games where I think you just throw the records out and you go play. I think the team, too, that makes the least amount of mistakes in games like this gives yourself a chance to win it in the fourth quarter. Always going to be tough, going to be physical. Guys are ready to go.
