the the two long touchdowns were functionally the same play. That’s the type of thing that I think makes people worry that that you’re just you’re just gonna get beat. I mean, they saw the exact same thing and had the exact same result. Why should we think that that’s not going to happen a third week in a row? I think Jaylen Ramsay is kind of getting a loose leash as far as how he wants to apply his man coverage because so many times when he was in man coverage, he was backed off a bit or he was allowing the receiver to get an inside leverage. so that he could play an aggressive trail technique and get a chance to take away the ball. Now, that did turn into an interception at one point, but there were several third downs where it just he kind of just gave up the inside leverage and the and the other guy was able to get a first down, get in front of his face, uh get, you know, get open get, you know, establish inside leverage and create an easier target for Sam Darnold. It may take Jaylen Ramsey saying, “You know what? I know I’ve been trying to do it this way, but I’m going just maintain inside leverage the entire play because I’ve seen when he wants to do that, he does that. He can win there.
