Twitter: CBs: Lowest/Highest Burn Percentages

[Manwiththeplan]

He has barely been targeted and has allowed only short catches. According to PFF's data --

Week 1 against Green Bay -- allowed 3 of 4 for 25 yards.

Week 2 against San Diego -- allowed 3 of 5 for 25 yards

Week 3 against Baltimore -- allowed 4 of 6 for 13 yards

Ramsey played all but three snaps in those games, against Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers and Joe Flacco, who threw 34, 25 and 40 passes, respectively. He allowed 10 catches on 15 attempts (a "burn rate" of 66.7%) -- but only 6.3 yards per catch, 4.2 yards per attempt, 21.0 yards per game and less than 0.65 yards per opponent pass attempt. All of those numbers are very, very good.

I don't have the Week 4 numbers from PFF, but Andrew Luck threw 42 passes for 234 yards (5.6 YPA).

announcers certainly aren't infallible, but they seemed to place blame on him for that 64 yard bomb from Luck to Dorsett

Ramsey's achievement is getting into a Twitter war with Steve Smith. Otherwise, he certainly has not done much to improve the Jaguars' defense.

And you certainly haven't seen any Jaguars games if you think Ramsey hasn't improved that D. He literally won the game for them with a game saving pass deflection on Sunday.

But I don't expect anyone on here to watch Jaguars games.

It's ok to be thrilled with the Zeke pick without throwing other guys we didn't pick under the bus - especially if they've been playing at a high level as well.

Is it even a debate who wouldve been the better pick anymore?

We have a record-breaking rookie that is on his way to being an all-pro and an mvp candidate, while the other has 0 picks and 0 forced fumbles...

newman? as in Terrence Newman? Geez, never thought that guy would still be playing but he seems to be getting better and better as he ages.

A lot of people don't realize he was an old rookie coming into the league. He was almost 25.

YPA is a better gauge for a CB IMO

You dont see it much anymore though

It's tough when you're a shut down corner who never gets targeted and then you give up a 15 yard reception on one target and now you have a terrible 15 YPA.

I'd think yards per route defended would be ideal, but you have to pay for that stat.

Ramsey at 65 percent.....wow

If we had taken Ramsey instead of Zeke all hell would be breaking loose up in this mug.

I can't believe how angry everyone is in this thread. What the hell were you guys doing last night?
