If Ramsey is what we think he is, we will have the best CB in team history and a true physical shut down corner capable of taking away a team's best receiver.

 

I have been thinking about how our secondary-specifically corners- now matches up against the division's receiving corps.

 

I think against the tacks, Ramsey would be against Dorial Green-Beckham.  While Beckham has him by a few inches, I think if DGB continues to develop, he would be the tacks biggest threat, and of all the DBs, Ramsey would be the best person to cover him.

 

This would possibly leave House against Kendall Wright, and Amukumara against Justin Hunter.  While DGB would worry me, I think our secondary would match up fairly well with them.

 

Against the Colts, I would think Ramsey would match up against either Donte Moncrief of T.Y. Hilton-probably Moncrief.  While he has the speed to stick with Moncrief and the physicality to muscle Hilton, I think Hilton's quickness might be more of an issue against Ramsey, especially off of the los.  House would, in my mind, ideally cover either Dorsett or Hilton, while Amukumara would cover Moncrief or Hilton.

 

This leaves the Texans, with Deandre Hopkins, Jalen Strong and rookie WR Fuller.  I think of all of the divisional teams, our secondary would match up best against their receivers due to similar size.  House actually did a decent job against Hopkins for three quarters until folding in the 4th.  I think Ramsey could muscle either Hopkins or Fuller and disrupt their timing.  I think House and Amukumara are fast enough and savvy enough to handle the rookie and the second year Strong.

 

Of course, the team has to be able to better pressure these QBs in order to shut them down.   But this is the most confident I have felt about our secondary in a long time.

Good post ,one of my favourite things about this new secondary of ours is that they are all solid tacklers. From Ramsey,Prince,House,Colvin,Gibson all those guys are really good tacklers for where they play,Cyp is too when he's switched on.


Having good tackling corners is so underated by teams, its a key element in my opinion.

Can you imagine if Fowler and Ramsey pan out to be as good as expected?

 

My lord.

Great post. Great points. Hats off!

Good observation, though of that group I'd say Cyprien is the worst tackler because he takes the worst angles.

Yeah he is ,hopefully Gibson can help him somehow but I doubt it.

Well, if he's in the box more as a result of the additions, he shouldn't have to run as far so there should be less chance for him to take bad angles.

 

But I want to see he and Sample compete for the starting SS job.

You didnt mention Colvin.. I know hes suspended 4 games , but once he get back their will be competition in that secondary... Should be fun to watch.

I'm glad you brought him up.

 

Let's assume for argument's sake he is the 4th CB, and the most that will happen with him is they use him like they have.

 

How much more effective will his blitzes be with the improved coverage provided by Ramsey, et al?
