Just because they don't throw the ball his way doesn't mean he isn't impacting the game in a huge way. Just like having a deep threat impacts the offense in a big way even when the deep threat doesn't get the ball. I like Ramsey's disruptiveness. He is great, I like the results as well. I just don't want the DC to loose site of why we got him. To lock up the other teams best and take options away from the QB so he holds the ball and gets sacked or fumbles or intercepted. we had the #1 D with him doing mostly that. If we start giving up big plays because he is at the line a scrimmage and our #2 and 3 corners can't do the same job it could cost us games. Just do what worked and save the tweaks for if the league starts coming up with solutions. It wasn't broke so don't fix it.
Right. But was there really a huge threat coming from their #1 receiver that our other DBs couldn't handle in that game?
You can say that he will be used the same way when we face Hopkins or Metcalf? I doubt it. He will be used as the best player in the best situation again. In the bears game, he would have been underutilized as a lock down corner. And frankly, that utilization could have cost us the game or at least made it a much closer game.
I don't worry at all about how he was used in that game. He had fun and deeply impacted the game. I look for the same in different ways so we don't waste talent because we want to pigeon hole a player.
I think that's also why we saw Floyd seemingly have little impact. The long developing pass play where he was going to be picking up the sack, wasn't going to be there in 2 seconds. Along with a potential bad wheel, you use him wisely, not for stats.
