Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore takes a swat at the Jaguars’ Jalen from 黄剑's blog

 Ramsey Jalen Ramsey has been talking since the Jaguars finally won a playoff game last year. Losing to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game did not slow him down Authentic Jonathan Jones Jersey , as he basically went at the entire league in the offseason. Before the game last week, he said that if Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill wanted that “smoke” (press man coverage) that it would get there.This week, the Patriots play the Chiefs and, naturally, there have been questions for the Patriots’ number one corner about both Hill and Ramsey. Stephon Gilmore isn’t a trash talker though – at least that’s what he says. But I don’t know if I believe him after what he said about Ramsey.He outright refused to say anything negative about Hill, not surprising. But he had some things to say about Ramsey. “It’s his personality,” Gilmore said. “That’s not my style, but I find a lot of guys that talk are mostly zone guys so they have a lot of energy to do that.” Calling a lock down corner a zone player might be the most disrespectful thing you can say, and I freaking love it.After Ramsey said that Rob Gronkowski wasn’t very good, and that Brady was fine but not great, Gilmore might be taking some shots back. Or maybe he just wants more recognition for what the Patriots have been doing: In the last two games Womens Rex Burkhead Jersey , Gilmore and Jason McCourty have combined to allow only 10 receptions on 24 targets for just 99 yards and no touchdowns. They’ve also combined for 5 pass breakups.If they keep up those numbers, no one is going to be able to deny that the Patriots field a legit defense, whether they talk about it or not.

This mix should make for big entertainment this season and will certainly make for big headlines – the latter holding true once more yesterday, when two of the teams named their starters for the regular season opener.The Buffalo Bills were the first team to announce their starter for their week one matchup on Monday: second-year man Nathan Peterman will lead his team into its opening contest against the Baltimore Ravens – a team that also invested a first-round pick in a quarterback this year. Peterman, who is coming off a strong preseason performance, was chosen over the seventh overall draft pick, Josh Allen.Entering the draft, Allen was seen as a developmental option and so far during his career in Buffalo he appeared to be just that. And while he had his moments, he apparently did not yet give the coaching staff confidence to go with him over the Peterman. Meanwhile Authentic Danny Shelton Jersey , Peterman will try to improve on a terrible rookie season that saw him finish with a completion percent below 50% and five interceptions (as opposed to two touchdowns) in four games.The New York Jets also announced their starting quarterback yesterday, and the title unsurprisingly went to rookie Sam Darnold. After joining the Jets as the third overall pick of this year’s draft, Darnold quickly showed why New York felt confident trading up to get him: despite some natural growing pains, he looked ready to take over for incumbent Josh McCown and will now get a chance to prove his value on national television next Monday night.At 21 years and 97 days, Darnold becomes the youngest starting quarterback in the NFL and only the third Jets rookie to start for the team on opening day. New York fans will have to hope that he turns out better than the last two: fellow former first-round selection Mark Sanchez and ex-second-round pick Geno Smith all flamed out with the Jets rather quickly. Now, it is Darnold’s turn to try and grow into the franchise quarterback the team has not had since the days of... well, Joe Namath?While the Bills and Jets will enter 2018 with new starting quarterbacks, the rest of the division is set: the New England Patriots will field reigning league MVP Tom Brady, while the Miami Dolphins’ Ryan Tannehill returned after a de-facto two-year absence.
