The Division Round begins Saturday afternoon with the best game against 1: 1: Green Bay Packers, Davante Adams, against Jalen Ramsey, corner of the Los Angeles Rams.
The two are tops they do.
Adams is a monster with a red zone, leading the NFL in TD receptions, and despite missing two games, he finished second with 115 and fifth place in the meter with 1,374. Meanwhile, Ramsey was the top corner of the league, taking first place in the reception allowed when targeted, allowed the fewest steps and was tied for sixth in the TDs given up.
Ahead of the clash at Lambeau on Saturday, Adams said he admires the NFL’s front corner but is focused on his own game.
“I respect Jalen’s game,” Adams told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “He’s definitely at the top of the list. I think there are probably three or four super-elite – what I like to call them – corners, and he’s definitely one of the guys. He’s played at a high level. “A lot of confidence. Do a lot of barking, which feeds more into his confidence. And he made a lot of plays. He definitely deserved it. He’s a good player.”
Despite Ramsey’s tendencies to speak, Adams does not expect much jokes during the fight.
“With Jalen,” Adams said, “I do not know how much talk is going to happen. Honestly, I do not see much talk. It will probably get a little chippy every now and then, but I I have respect for him. I “sure, based on our conversations we’ve had before, he has respect for me. So it’s not going to be any disrespect or things out there, but it’s probably going to heat up.”
Adams’ confidence stems from the fact that he comes off the line better than any wide receiver currently playing in the NFL. That innate ability causes the star to wave far and wide past the corners before he can get his hands on it and disrupt the timing of the play. This is also the reason why he is the deadliest weapon the red zone receives.
Adams believes he will be able to play in a one-on-one game against Ramsey with the exit.
“It’s basically rooted in my confidence and the way I play,” Adams said. “There are certain guys who dictate or change the way they play based on who they play, and it can still be successful for them, but the way I play is, as I say, in the driver’s seat.”
The superlatives for both players are not in the rankings.
Ramsey allowed the fewest receiving yards (309) among 33 CBs with 500 plus coverage in the regular season, according to Pro Football Focus. He also allowed a 50.0 percent in coverage this season, including playoff games (T-2nd lowest in NFL, minimum 50 targets).
