I can't imagine that would be a problem. The Jags have basically been running Gus Bradley's defensive scheme for years. Bradley and Wash (their DC over the past few years) are both from that Seattle coaching tree that runs a lot of cover 3 mixed in with cover 1 man. Ramsey has played plenty of zone there.

FWIW, D.J. Chark does look legit so far this year. But just like one good game against Carr doesn't make it good, one bad game against the Jags doesn't make it bad, either. Additionally, players or parts of a secondary can get beaten without all of it getting beaten. As for the, not much being done to improve it, that's just blatantly false. We only have one noteworthy player in the entire secondary that carried over from the start of last year. Our secondary in the nickel week 1 last year was Fuller, Nelson, Scandrick, Murray, Parker. Fuller is the only guy even still on the roster from that. Mathieu and Thornhill is a huge improvement at S, specifically, over last year's crew, which is why I called out that our S play makes up for the deficiency at CB. But basically we traded a downgrade from Nelson to Ward, for 3 upgrades goin from Scandrick to Breeland (looks good so far, Scandrick looked atrocious), Murray to Mathieu, and Parker to Thornhill. It's a better secondary than last year. We really just need the one outside CB spot upgraded. Last year we needed like 3 safeties and a starting corner.

It made sense for us to go in on Minkah. He was cheap and young. Makes less sense financially to go for Ramsey. We're going to be pushing things financially already for the next few years just with our guys. Throw on $13M next year and more beyond for Ramsey and it probably breaks things. And personally, I don't want him anyways. I despise the guy every time we've played against him. He's always the first guy to start swinging that gets the rest of the Jags amped up and trying to start fights with our offense. Oh, we also don't have the worst secondary in football. S position is actually a strength for us. CB, maybe. But not overall.

Same. Just don't get our star destroyed and I'll take it from a backup.

PFF gave Cam Erving a 90 in pass protection, and a 25 in run blocking. So he was basically half elite, half garbage this week. Matches the offense's performance too, I'd say.

Hey now, we created that move.

Pat's a little too relaxed now.

I was really looking forward to a 56-10 kind of score. Shame.

Already more in adjustments than we saw in years from Sutton. Still not super optimistic or anything on the D, but I think there's more signs of competence thus far than we had last year.

We definitely stopped blitzing aggressively after we tried and failed that first drive or two. Which I think is the right call. When they're throwing quick anyways it makes more sense to just load up on coverage.

...what was that?

If you ask around the Chiefs forum, we've all been high on him for quite awhile. He's just been buried below so many other weapons. Hard to fight for targets over Kelce/Hill/Watkins and the receiving RBs we've had. Robinson is part of why a lot of us have actually typically had a higher opinion of our WR corp than many outside the KC forum do.

Yeah, that certainly didn't help either. Cap hell would've been more acceptable at the end of Dorsey's regime if all of the players putting us there had long healthy careers.

You guys are better than this. Hard to stop a QB like Mahomes when he's throwing dimes deep. There's even been solid coverage on a few of those.

Not referring to one specific play. But the overall concept of never blowing dead any play that might be a fumble.
