Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey rips Ravens’ Joe Flacco: “He sucks” In a recent interview with GQ White Patrick Onwuasor Jersey , Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey had some strong opinons on teams and quarterbacks around the league. He trashed the Browns in a fair but unwarranted pot shot, buried Buffalo’s Josh Allen, and also went after Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco among a few others.To summarize, in speaking on his high opinion of Lamar Jackson, Ramsey makes it clear he thinks the rookie will be unseating Baltimore’s starter sooner than later:There are a few ways of looking at something like this, the first of which being that it’s refreshing to see an athlete give actual opinions on things as opposed to the coach speak we’re usually subjected to. The other way of looking at it is that Ramsey isn’t really being 100% honest in this interview.Starting with Flacco, the shot across the bow was unprovoked but pretty par for the course these days. Although, it’s interesting he mentions that he played him twice in a row without also acknowledging the first encounter was a loss in which Flacco orchestrated a game winning drive against Jacksonville’s vaunted defense.However, what’s somewhat frustrating about all of this is Ramsey being lauded for his honesty when there are parts of this that are either the opposite of honest, or just plain wrong. He goes on to call Atlanta’s Matt Ryan (after being reminded what his name was) “overrated Patrick Onwuasor Jersey 2019 ,” and a “complete bust” in 2017 even though the veteran threw 20 touchdowns and won a playoff game in what was actually an underrated season.But the real kicker there is what he goes on to say regarding the quarterback that plays on his team:All I’ll say there is that there’s a reason why Jacksonville’s coaching staff wouldn’t let him Bortles cut it loose in Foxboro and it’s not because of suspect play calling like Ryan had to endure. He would later go to on to say that “playoff Blake is good” which sounds like a similar defense to a quarterback he ripped earlier in this piece, and that’s despite Bortles only having one appearance and two wins.None of this is intended as a takedown of Bortles, or even Ramsey who is an amazing player with a nice knack for smack talk. I’ll say this though; fans and players of opposing teams remember when you run your mouth about their favorite players and teammates, and he better be ready to back all of this up when the season begins. OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The NFL’s top-ranked defense in 2018 will have a decidedly different look next season.With unrestricted free agent linebackers C.J. Mosley, Terrell Suggs and Za’Darius Smith headed elsewhere after the release last week of safety Eric Weddle, the Baltimore Ravens lost four key contributors from a unit that yielded a league-low 292.9 yards per game.Mosley, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, departed Baltimore after the Ravens abandoned hope of matching the reported five-year, $85 million bid of the New York Jets.“The Jets just made such a powerful offer that as an organization it just didn’t make sense for us Daylon Mack Baltimore Ravens Jersey ,” first-year general manager Eric DeCosta said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press. “We love C.J. and everything he brings to this club, but we’ve also got to build the best team we can. These are hard decisions we have to make.”The 26-year-old Mosley led the team in tackles in 2014 and 2017. He had at least 100 tackles in every season except 2016, when he finished with 92 after missing two games with an injury.DeCosta wanted to keep Mosley, but couldn’t afford him.“We stretched our budget, and we thought we made a compelling offer to him,” DeCosta said.When the NFL formally begins a new year Wednesday, Mosley will join the Jets; Smith will receive a four-year, $66 million with the Packers; and Suggs, the Ravens’ career sacks leader, will launch the next chapter of his lengthy career in Arizona with the Cardinals. Weddle has already signed with the Los Angeles Rams.In addition White Daylon Mack Jersey , the pending trade of quarterback Joe Flacco to Denver will be completed and unrestricted free agent receiver John Brown will join the Bills.That leaves the Ravens, who broke a three-year hiatus from the playoffs in 2018, without several familiar faces.“It’s an opportunity for us to get younger,” DeCosta said.There wasn’t much choice, given the large sum of money opposing teams waved at Baltimore’s most notable unrestricted free agents.“Unfortunately for us, the market is irrational at times and we can’t be held responsible for what other teams want to pay,” DeCosta said. “All we can do is try to negotiate in good faith with agents and the players.”It will be up to DeCosta to rebuild a defense that last season allowed 17.9 points per game, second lowest behind Chicago.“We see good young players leave us every year,” DeCosta said. “We’ve tried to adjust over time, but I think now is a great opportunity for us to become financially responsible Alex Lewis Jersey 2019 , to get control over the salary cap to understand the concept of right player, right price.”The good news is, quarterback Lamar Jackson won’t be due a new contract for quite a while.“The cap goes up every year, and we’re in a unique position because we have a quarterback who’s in his rookie contract,” DeCosta said. “We’ve been able to free up some cap room. We’re trying to be as flexible as we can.”Prior to free agency, DeCosta gave nickel cornerback Tavon Young an extension and signed tight end Nick Boyle, an unrestricted free agent, to a three-year contract.DeCosta’s predecessor, Ozzie Newsome, held the post since the Ravens’ arrival from Cleveland in 1996. It’s been a whirlwind start for DeCosta Blue Alex Lewis Jersey , who still has plenty of time to fill out the roster.“We’re just starting out this offseason,” he said. “As Ozzie used to say, ‘We don’t have to play games in March and April. We don’t play until September.’ I believe we’ll have a good, competitive, hard-nosed typical Ravens team on the field when we start.”
