Jalen Ramsey: “Don’t Blame Me!”


YoloinOhio

Recommended Posts

Another reason to feel good about the direction of this team. When we win it was a team effort & we lose a game the guy who is the only reason we had even a chance, shoulders the blame, doesn't point fingers, says he could have done more.

 

Then there's Jalen Ramsey who just talks.....

This is the kind of breakout game that RBs usually have against the Bills. 99 yards is pretty crazy.

Start watching some games. Not only "the same old Bills" have major breakdowns, bad coaching, suspect reffing, bad luck, ***** defeat out of the jaws of victory, implode and on and on. I don't get this pitiful negative outlook by some fans. Well, in fact, I understand it's been quite a while as fans we support a losing cause but what happened in 2014 or 2003 has nothing to do with today. New management, new coaches, new players. 

 

I watched this sequence live. It took like 7 plays inside the 10 to finally get stopped at the one. And then, that run. Damn LOL I was really laughing at this arrogant team and coach getting this. Their other QB looked better than Bortles yet what a mega conservative playcalling on offense. Unbearable.

super talented and immature.. teams just learn to deal with it. I don't imagine him to be toxic in his selfishness / lack of awareness so much as Big Ben or ODB. He still seems to live and breath football rather than a celebrity status and being king of the team. Just comes across as a better teammate than most that get labelled as this (even as he's throwing people under the bus).. Jags do need to look in the mirror and start calling themselves out. His position doesn't make him as much as a pansy as Big Ben and ODB who have everyone else to blame when ODB shies away from an onside kick or Big Ben calls out his entire (stacked) WR group. I'm much rather have a primmadonna safety / CB than a WR or QB alienating the locker room. Jalen's at least in the **** dealing and taking contact. 



 

I'd take BB over Ramsey.  Ramsey says stupid stuff about his team, other players on other teams, etc.  At least BB seems to call out his friends (AB).   Don't get me wrong, BB is a total d-bag, but I'd take that d-bag over Ramsey.

I do watch every game.  For the record, I was referring to our historically poor ability during the drought to stop no-name running backs from having 200+ yard games.  But even under McD we've struggled against the run from time to time, albeit against better known candidates then his predecessors faced.

I was glad the Titans lost but there should’ve been several penalties on that run. Namely Henry face-masking Bouye.

Ramsay should play hockey instead of football, his talents are being wasted in this sport.

 

He would get his a$$ handed to him on the ice.  While the NFL supports (puts up with) selfish behavior and (can be) a talk-trash league, the NHL is not and I think he would get pummeled (sp?) if he were to open his mouth.

I don’t recall anyone in the NFL who was so talented while simultaneously so selfish and lacking in awareness. I’m sure there are, but this clown takes the cake.  

 

No one currently, but tryouts are in progress?

 

His selfish stunts and apparent lack of understanding when "those should be your inside words" bring back some NFL cringe-worthy memories for me of Terrell Owens.

I guess this is that "culture" that McDermott preaches. When things go bad in Jacksonville (and other teams) fingers start getting pointed. Here, guys stay optimistic and keep fighting (I think) 

Usually point the finger at themselves if they point it.

Not sure, but I read here that trading for him made their run d one of the best in the league. His laziness and nonchalant approach seems to have rubbed off on his teammates 

With as fat as he is it probably rubs off on everthing.

Didn't he totally lose his outside contain assignment on one of Henry's ~40 yard TD runs???

 

Why yes yes he did.

Believe it or not, the stiff arm to the face is still legal.

No one really needs to bag on Ramsey because as much as he talks, he remains on a team that is about to get blown up.

 

They went from one game removed from the SB to a complete sh!!tshow in less than a year. They extended Bortles only to have him benched. They fired Hackett but kept Marrone. The players have clearly quit on the coaches. And I would disagree with the idea that Kessler looked good last night. Aikman kept talking about it being a good showing, but all I saw was an average backup at best.

WR had ramsey beat on that late 4th and goal play, ball was right where it needed to be, just didn’t make the catch.

Yep, that was Davis iirc. He was having a hard time w/ Taylor as well...Mariota didn't go that way much, but Ramsey wasn't playing lights out or anything. He was lazy on Henry's long TD and totally uninterested in playing the run on several Henry rushes. 

 

Bouye was awful, terrible, pathetic whatever you want to call it, but Ramsey was only better by default. They were physically dominated at every level. You really shouldn't be talking at all after you get barnstormed like that imo.

He also took a really bad angle and got trapped inside on McCoy's 75-yard TD run back in 2016. All the Jags do is talk. Even when they're down, most of those guys can't quit flappin' their lips. Their egos have gotten in the way of playing together as a unit and it's showing. 

 

Regarding the overall topic, his comments are the reason why I don't mind all the coachspeak McDermott does. He knows the value of keeping everything in house. People can bag on him all they want when he doesn't reveal anything in interviews or pressers but that's the way it should be. You don't give the media and your audience anything that could potentially become a distraction. And the things that his players say are a product of his leadership and his and Beane's vision of culture. They got these guys playing together and playing for each other and that's what you want. Even in bad losses you hear post-game comments from the players that are all pretty similar, basically, "We just have to get back to work and keep grinding and keep fighting." Boring as it may be, it's a lot better than throwing your teammates under the bus and creating unnecessary tension in the locker room.

Haha, if you honestly think nhl players are tougher than nfl players.

He is a crappy “offensive” coach who gets carried by his defenses.  He is stuck coaching in a different era.  While I think SM is stuck in that era too, I’d much happier with him as our coach than Marrone.

It wasn’t a stiff arm. He grabbed the face mask and pulled down. 

 

Maybe they gave Henry a pass on that little tug on the mask (not denying it happened), because right after that he tossed that 246 lb linebacker off the field by the shoulder using his one free arm.

 

Going to be pretty embarrassing for the Jags defense when they review film with their DC (Todd Walsh - I think, never sure with how they go through coaches). I am sure Jalen will inspire the rest of them by saying things like, "there only so much I can do - the rest y'all suck".

 

Watching the Jags this year is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

Just to confirm I have this straight -- since Marrone fired scapegoat Hackett the Jags have scored 6 and 9 points...right?

 

You are correct sir.

 

And Doug is running out of bodies to throw under the bus. I wonder if his coaches call in sick when a "1:1 meeting with Doug" shows up on their calendar after a game?
