When Brandon Staley coached him with the Rams he would use Ramsey all over the D... sometimes like a hybrid LB even. Back then, Ramsey still seemed to relish the physical tackling he was always known for. It really took advantage of some of his rare skill-sets at times.

However...

I have watched his playing style change a lot since we shipped him to South Beach. He doesn't relish the physical part of the game nowadays like he used to. Hell, I watched him straight up avoid getting even involved in a tackle last year. Something he would have NEVER done in the past. This wasn't just an older player saving his body either... it was straight up avoidance of getting physical at all. It surprised me big time because I've been watching Ramsey play since he was a Nole and I had never seen him play anything like that before. The way it looks to me is... if the squealers expect him to lay some wood like he's always been known for, they're likely to be very disappointed and may not have him on the field for very many games.

But hey, maybe he was just playing like Marcus Peters and running from contact because he wanted out of that clown show down there. Sounds like he was showing up late for practices and undermining the coaches too. So who really knows. It was just so shocking for me to see him completely avoid contact like I watched him do countless times last season.
Interesting. He did great in the Stat role for the Rams. I didn’t know he started avoiding contact. Maybe his body is feeling it afterwards more. I used to love watching him hit Golden Taint.

McDaniel is a strong OC but a weak head coach. So if those rumors are true the Dolphins additionally have been making excuses for Ramsey and enabling his worst behaviors.

They're a shitty org.
If they flounder this year, I doubt he's a HC anywhere else. That is just my opinion.

They signed Rodgers so they're rolling the dice! Reminds me of the fishing trip in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. "This is Doctor Ramsey and here is Dr Metcalf and this is Professor Rodgers.'
“The famous Professor rogers.”
