I believe his cover skills are deminished by how he is bing used on a weekly basis. The demand on him is higher than any other player on our defense.
How can I come to that conclusion?
There is no other player playing out of position or being asked to play bigger than their size and then cover high caliber speedy WRs that are all sizes.
To be the best at what you do, you have to work on your trade. You spend time on what you perceive is your greates challenge. Jalen can feel confident in his cover skills but he is spending more time not covering but tackling etc. The physical nature of the game and his hybrid role which he garnered since coming to LA is draining his game.
I can see your points and it's hard to disagree.
I am not a fan of Ramsey in the "Star" position and have been very vocal about it. IMO, he should be used to shut down the other teams BEST WR and in no way should he ever be covering the #3, the RB or the TE.
Based on Ramsey's comments on his "Off the Press" podcast this week where he mentioned how he did much better playing "man" and kinda blamed the TD to Diggs on the "zone" coverage, I would think he might agree with us.
I would love to see Ramsey back to full time CB with an occasional blitz. Screw the Star position. Let him concentrate on one thing...shutting down the other teams best WR.
I also think his play is starting to decline a bit but since he was SO good, he is still one of the best CB's in the game even with diminishing skills!
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
