    I may have missed it but been busy. He may not be the shutdown corner he once was, but the guy's a baller making plays every week.

    I liked Minkah also, but the guy became largely quiet. Not Ramsey! Good trade.

    2 sacks against the Browns in a game with TJ and Myles Garrett. Something for him tell the grandkids.

    Love his attitude.

    I can’t believe he’s still having an impact with our terrible coaching staff.

    Yea he has been very good so far. We crushed that Minkah trade even though Jonnu hasn’t done much honestly.

    I actually think they just need more plays to get Jonnu involved.

    Easier said than done with this offensive system.

    I liked the Kid since he's come out, and I really, really wanted him here. I for one am extremely excited that he is here. He's a complete DB, even with being older, and a few steps slower.
    Also the youngsters get to see how to really do it outside of coaching.

    I wonder how he'd do as a pro form full back catching short to intermediate passes. seems like he has pretty good after the catch skills.

    My initial reaction to the trade was negative because I didn't like getting rid of a younger former all-pro (Minkah) for an older former all-pro (Ramsey). A also thought that getting Smith was pretty redundant and that we could do most of what he does with PF.

    But Ramsey has been really good. I think we'd have been in real trouble without him when Porter was hurt. And if we can keep Porter / Ramsey / Slay healthy, I think our defense is going to be scary-good because it's going to be so much harder for QBs to get the ball out quickly with 3 good to above average CBs. And that should mean our edge rushers (and hopefully Cam and Harmon) can feast on the QB.

    And we've had something like 17 sacks in the last 3 games (2 of which Porter was hurt for). Tied for 2nd in the league with 20. Aside: I know they've played and extra game, but Denver is far ahead of the pack with 30!

    Just hoping that the older guys in the secondary (and the rest of the team) can stay healthy. If things continue to break poorly for the Rats and KC, maybe we can get an AFC playoff game against a team that doesn't have an elite QB.

    You forgot to put coaching in green.

    I definitely hope they can figure out some ways to get him more involved but right now they seem to be playing bully ball. Large sets and a lot of Mt Washington off play action. That’s great if you are playing ahead or even and controlling the pace. It won’t work if you are playing from behind.

    Very pleased. Want to see more of our starting secondary play at the same time but injuries are part of the game. Next 5 games coming up would like to have them all.

    I was about to say. Our system has been incredibly efficient, but it's also part of the reason guys like Jonnu and Muuuth haven't been super productive. They're asked to do the little things more than key playmakers.

    Maybe the coaching staff just needed better players. Minkah became soft after the Nick Chubb injury. I feel it got in his head and he played differently. Was never the same aggressive player after that hit. Ramsey is everywhere and making an impact so far this season. Hopefully he continues to thrive.

    I am pleasantly surprised, wasn't sure he would fit. He loves game and wants to play.
    Love his motor.

    If he is a few steps slower that makes Gabriel for a young man super slow because he caught him from behind and made the tackle. I will take more of that slowness :)
