Jalen Ramsey has approached trash talking — both dishing it out and receiving it — with open arms for most of his football career.When initiating it he’s been an equal opportunity offender https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Taven-Bryan-Jersey , even when his words were aimed at possibly two of the best players to ever play their respective positions.Ramsey sent ripples across the league last month when he was asked by “ESPN The Magazine” for his opinion of Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and said: “I don’t think Gronk is as great as people think he is.”The comments came months after the Jaguars‘ 24-20 loss to the Patriots in last season’s AFC championship game, in which Gronkowski caught only one pass before being knocked out of the game with a concussion in the first half.That same game also saw Ramsey briefly exchange words with reigning MVP Tom Brady during pregame warmups.It’s all added extra fuel to the budding rivalry as New England prepares to visit Jacksonville on Sunday.“If that’s how he feels, that’s how he feels,” Gronkowski said Wednesday. “It’s a big game. … I’m sure I’m gonna have opportunities go against him. And I’m sure he’s gonna have opportunities to go against me.”For his part, Ramsey has never backed down from his comments.“I don’t live my life with regrets, man. Things happen. I said what I said,” Ramsey said after his comments went viral.“I love the competitiveness. I love the trash talking. I love the challenge. I love literally everything about the game, so I have no regrets. … Hey, I’m me: Unapologetic.”Ramsey’s teammates said his often-biting words are what make Ramsey the player he is.Trash talking is, “part of his game,” defensive lineman Calais Campbell said.“I tell him all the time ‘Man, hey, whatever you do just make sure that we’re gonna back you up…We’re gonna be there for you,'” Campbell said. “But I have nothing but confidence in Jalen. He’s a very smart guy … Very passionate. So I won’t ever try to contain somebody and not let him be himself.”Ramsey was a first-team All-Pro in his second year in the league last season, but had a relatively quiet AFC title game against New England. He finished with just two tackles as Brady engineered late-game heroics to erase a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit.Ramsey said recently that he thinks the biggest reason for the Jaguars losing that game was that they became too conservative.Of the talent of Brady Myles Jack Color Rush Jersey , who exploited that conservatism, Ramsey told “GQ” magazine that he puts him in the category of quarterbacks who don’t “suck.”“I never want to suck,” Brady said with a smile Wednesday. “So I never want to be in that category.”Brady is expecting “an emotional environment” on Sunday against a defense that he considers one of the best in the AFC. He added that he thinks Ramsey is “a great young player.” Brady said a little trash talk is part of the game.“I think it raises everybody’s game, as long as it doesn’t get to point where you do something stupid,” Brady said. “I think emotion in football is critical.”Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone said that any conversations he’s had with Ramsey about his tendency to speak his mind would remain private.But Marrone was also quick to offer praise for both Gronkowski and Brady, whom he said were possibly the best to play the game at their positions.He said he isn’t concerned about Ramsey’s comments providing the Patriots bulletin board material.“I mean, it is what it is,” Marrone said. “We’re all men and we’ve got to stand by what we say and you’ve got to speak for yourself and be able to do that. We’ve just got to go out there and play.”Said Gronkowski: “I feel like this game you gotta keep your head on a swivel and be ready for anything.”Notes: Rookie RB Sony Michel spoke to reporters for the first time since injuring his knee during training camp. He was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday and said he was “doing all I can do” to be back in uniform for Sunday’s game. “My mindset is to prepare as if I’m playing,” he said. Michel, who was taken 31st overall in April’s draft, is one of two Patriot first-round picks on the mend. Tackle Isaiah Wynn (selected 23rd overall) was lost for the season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in the preseason. RB Rex Burkhead remains in the concussion protocol after taking a blow to the head in last week’s opener.___ The annual spring meeting for the NFL’s owners and coaches is in full swing which means LOTS OF AWKWARD PHOTOS, including this one featuring 26 of the 32 current head coaches in the NFL.The J..." 2019 NFL coaches picture power ranking: How handsome is Doug Marrone?New,33commentsEDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:2019 NFL coaches picture power ranking: How handsome is Doug Marrone?TwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailThe annual spring meeting for the NFL’s owners and coaches is in full swing which means LOTS OF AWKWARD PHOTOS, including this one featuring 26 of the 32 current head coaches in the NFL.The Jacksonville Jaguars were handsomely represented by Doug Marrone — far left, bottom row — who went with a comfortable ensemble that included a lightly colored short sleeve (sans jacket) Abry Jones Jersey , well fitting khaki pants, and a great haircut.One thing it didn’t include? Socks because you’re goddamn right it didn’t.Marrone is a good looking man, there is no denying that, but how handsome is he when graded against his peers?Thanks to Adam Stites for providing the list of coaches and their placement in the photo:Top row (left to right): Jason Garrett, Zac Taylor, Mike Vrabel, Freddie Kitchens, Frank Reich, Ron Rivera, Matt Patricia, Anthony Lynn, Kyle Shanahan, Matt Nagy, Doug Pederson, Pat ShurmurBottom row (left to right): Doug Marrone https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Yannick-Ngakoue-Jersey , John Harbaugh, BELICHICK!, Mike Zimmer, Dan Quinn, Kliff Kingsbury, Sean McDermott, Andy Reid, Brian Flores, Bill O’Brien, Jon Gruden, Vic Fangio, Matt LaFleur, Jay Gruden2019 NFL coaches handsomeness power rankingMatt LaFleur: A naturally handsome man who doesn’t let that get in the way of putting some effort into this picture.Kliff Kingsbury: Great sock/shoe combination. Shirt fits well. Arizona is in good hands.Brian Flores: An incredibly handsome man who although he went with a less-than-spring color combination for his outfit still pulls it off.Mike Vrabel: Would.Doug Marrone: Great hair, strong thighs, comfortable footwear — the man knows comfort Carson Tinker Color Rush Jersey , but he doesn’t embarrass himself getting there. Helen would be proud.Frank Reich: Probably the most photogenic of the group. I’m looking at in-game pictures and press conferences and Reich looks great in this photo. Well groomed face and hair. He really put some effort into this.John Harbaugh: What’s with the drab and dreary color combination? Spring has sprung, my man. The shoes are nice though.Zac Taylor: A good looking guy, but just too baby faced for my liking.Kyle Shanahan: Less naturally handsome than some and the beard needs some filling in.Bill Belichick: The pants are too lightly colored but the tan is a nice touch. Sneakers though? For shame, Bill.Matt Nagy: I had to go to Google since I couldn’t get a good look at him here and Matt is a handsome guy!Anthony Lynn: I just don’t know about the lavender shirt, man.Andy Reid: There is no denying that Reid is the star of this photo, but we’re talking handsomeness and he just doesn’t do anything for me. Vic Fangio: Meh.Ron Rivera: TAKE OFF YOUR SUNGLASSES FOR PICTURES.Sean McDermott: Jacket and sneakers in the same outfit. Sweet Christ, man. This ain’t Seinfeld.Doug Pederson: The man needs a better haircut and stat.Dan Quinn: I know the sting of 28-3 affects each man’s soul differently, but there is no excuse for jeans here.Freddie Kitchens: I love Freddie and I love the Browns but tuck in your shirt, man.Jason Garrett: There’s something indescribably creepy about the man’s face, especially his smile.Pat Shurmur: I’m sure he’s a great guy but I feel like he has expired Sugar Free Werther’s on his coffee table.Mike Zimmer: SHOW ME THOSE BABY BLUES, MIKE. One of only two coaches to wear sunglasses in the picture is Zimmer and I hope he heard about it from his family.Bill O’Brien: Butt chin.Matt Patricia: Ugh.Jon Gruden: If this is his normal smile, I’m terrified. If it’s his hungover smile, well, it’s a good effort.Jay Gruden: He looks like he just escaped Frankenstein’s laboratory.
