He sucks at playing the ball in coverage.
This is true which actually makes me think if we just get someone to coach him up he could be pretty good. The coverage skills are supposed to be the hard part. [Reply]

Give Sam Madison a few minutes to do that. [Reply]

They are going to try their best to add an Emmanuel Sanders, Green, Diggs or someone else that can give them more to scheme with to beat us again.
I’d really like to see us find a way to make a move soon because if NE gets a good WR, teams we’re in talks with to trade for a corner get leverage over us.
I doubt New England cares. The point to getting Ramsey would be trying to get us homefield so we can have an edge in the playoffs by not having to go to Foxboro.
Belichick isn't going to be afraid of Ramsey because the Patriots don't attack your strengths, they find your weaknesses and pick you apart. He'd definitely help but even if we get him the other CBs and LBs will have to step up. [Reply]
I think at this point the Ramsey ship has sailed. If PP is at all an option Veach needs to figure it out and get it done. Another I'd add to the list is Chris Harris, but I don't know if you could get the donks to take a phone call from the 816. [Reply]

I don’t mean to harp on pushing the Eagles to trade for unhappy Jags cornerback Jalen Ramsey, but he’d really help this secondary right now, even though the pricetag probably makes GM Howie Roseman want to puke.

I get the impression he wants to be a free-agent in 2021, when the new CBA is negotiated and there could be riches to be had that we don’t know about now. If I’m Jacksonville GM Dave Caldwell, I’m taking a first-round pick and a good starting player, preferably a corner, for Ramsey and being done with him now.

Still think the Chiefs and Ravens are involved too. Now we have to figure out if Ramsey will make it hot enough on Jacksonville for the Jaguars to trade him. Which I still think he could do.

Adding Ramsey gives yo one less weakness to pick at. [Reply]
