Ramsey on DK I was brought here to stop guys like him

Jalen Ramsey on facing DK Metcalf again: 'I was brought here to stop guys like him'

Jalen Ramsey versus DK Metcalf.

There are few matchups in the NFL that spark more intrigue than this one. And, when the Rams and Seahawks face off on Sunday, fans should expect to see another gripping edition of this clash of titans.

Just as it has on most game days, it's going to take a collective effort to slow the first-time Pro Bowler down. But, as Ramsey stated on Thursday, stopping Metcalf will fall largely on the now four-time Pro Bowl cornerback's shoulders.

"I live for these type of matchups," Ramsey said, per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic. "I was brought here to stop guys like him."

Ramsey, who jokingly responded with a "maybe" when asked if he'd be covering Metcalf again, achieved that goal in spades when Seattle and L.A. met in Week 10.

According to Pro Football Focus, Ramsey shadowed Metcalf on 77.1% of his routes -- the most he's done so against a wideout this season -- and allowed zero (!) receptions on two targets.

That just improves the odds DK will beat him this time around.

Not smart to give a guy like DK more motivation

Just more Message Board material for DK to read and get him "fired up" for Sunday.

Thats not bulletin board material, it's a huge compliment from Ramsey. The comment about looking forward to the match up is something he only says when facing the top WRs in the NFL

Problem from our point of view is more often than not Ramsey has walked the walk.

DK can get his for sure but...imo Ramsey is the league's top CB and definitely presents a problem.

It should be a great match up. I still want Russ to look DKs way in 1 v 1 coverage though!! You know DKs looking for that chance.

People mocked the idea when he was first traded to the Rams. But I was always concerned that he would give either Doug Baldwin, Lockett, or Metcalf problems.

I predict DK is going to have a better showing this time around.

We will see how much of a Pro DK has become this game, most guys study what the person did against them and find a counter. Same for a DB, they want to see what move or tell the WR gives when doing something.

Then there is watching what guys did that succeeded against people as well. What buttons can be pushed etc.

Jalen is a shut down corner. I hope dk exploits him and russ see's him when he does.

Last game against the Rams, Seattle had a tepid rushing attack due to his injuries in the backfield. I expect the Seattle offensive attack to be balanced this week, and the passing game to be better for it.

This. :ditto:

CBs have run responsibilities, too. With our running game in better shape, DK should have a bit more opportunity to shake Ramsey on some routes. DK appears to be a real student of the game, so I'm sure he's into the video on Ramsey looking for that edge. Russ should be a bit more agressive on his throws, too. A deep throw to DK a few times on Sunday should help to open things up. An interception on a deep throw is kind of like a punt anyway. Sometimes you have to risk those 1 on 1 plays and trust your WR.

If DK can beat Ramsey one out of four targets...we win.

As long as Russell doesn’t ignore him 99% of the time. If the Jets and Darnold can take shots at Jalen Russ damn well better.

Last time we face the rams his basically ignored DK, which wasn’t ideal whatsoever

This ^^^
DK was wide open multiple times and Russ wouldn’t even look his way. It’s up to Russ if DK even gets a chance against Ramsey.

Imagine the lift it would give the entire team if they can score on the opening drive with DK beating Ramsey for a TD.

2-28-0 last time -- options other than DK have to be emphasized.

I think this is the game plan.
The O line isn't 100% because of lingering ailments and containing Donald is going to be a challenge. Hopefully there will be more completions underneath and Ramsey will be getting alot of exercise following Metcalf decoy.
I see another stressful game through the first half but Metcalf will show his talent in late 3rd and 4th quarter for lock down win.
Schotty, please call it well!
