Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

Was just reading a bit on NFL.com and found this article on nfl.com that was written in late august.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000...r-and-more

There are predictions on MVP, offensive player of the year and so on.

 

In the "Defensive rookie of the year" category Ramsey and Jack were predicted by most writers as candidates for winning it.

 

Among 23 writers, 14 of them voted for the 2 Jaguars players: 9 voted Jack and 5 Ramsey.  The other 9 votes were distributed on different players, among which Hargreaves, Nkemdiche, Lee and others. 

I think this is another proof of how much talent we have added, 2 potential defensive rookie of the year candidates, even if just on "paper" is insane. 

 

While I think Ramsey won't win it (not that it matters) because our front 7 is not aggressive enough to let the DB's to contanstly play the ball I think Jalen has proved he's the real deal and has played very very well in this beginning of season. He's a stud and hopefully will get better and better especially if they bring in a new coaching staff soon (hopefully).

 

On the other hand I think this article just shows even more how crazy it is that the guy who got most votes and the writers favourite, Jack, not only isn't starting, not only isn't even in on some packages: he isn't playing at all (aside from garbage time against SD and some special teams) while even Brown and Pullard have played more snaps than him. 

I don't know... if Ramsey keeps playing the way he has through 3 games... I think it's actually highly likely he wins it.  The guy is just making plays all over the field.  He's laying memorable, heavy hits, and probably most importantly in regards to garnering votes, he's publicly talking trash as well, which puts him in peoples mind, and then backs it up on the field.

 

How Jack is not able to make the field... I still don't get.

I think Ramsey can win it. He's been killing it out there.

If Ramsey can make a few interceptions that will drastically help his chances. I think he can win it. He's a stud.


In regards to your statement about Jack. Our coaching staff is unimaginably inept at times. This is one of those times.

If Ramsey can get some interceptions then he will have a chance. These awards usually go to the guys with the flashy stats like interceptions.

Gotta love MJDs pick for coach of the year.

Jack? Lol he stands next to Bradley the whole game

Jack the next HC.

Ramsey only got beat once sunday by Steve Smith on a nasty slant route, besides that I cant remember him getting beat. He's an elite talent already as a rookie and I think he's #1 in the DROTY voting as of now.

I agree about Ramsey.


People saying he's average or he can't win it are just not noticing what he's actually doing.


He has shut his side of the field down. No big time mistakes.


And he punishes players on interceptions.

If the season ended right now, you gotta give the award to Ramsey.

Normally id say itd be a pass rusher or lb but neither have any standouts to me just yet unless im forgetting someone. Not sure who gets it.

If you're forgetting someone, they probably haven't stood out
