As far as passion goes, I'll take the "childish" passion Ramsey shows on the field.  You want guys out there who are confident enough to show some swagger, and good enough to back it up on the field.  To a man, when players were interviewed in the post game, they said that ejection actually motivated them to step up their game in the 2nd half, and you could see the defense doing exactly that when they took the field.

Two things happened Sunday that I think we'll look back on as either pivotal moments, or indicators of future success.

Ramsey gets ejected, his teammates step it up so his absence isn't noticed. Fournette is a healthy scratch, inactive for team rule violations, his teammates step it up so his absence isn't noticed.

Not only that, witness Fournette on the sideline, not pouting or standoffish, but engaged.

I have a feeling about this team, my only hesitation in voicing it is due to fear of a jinx.
