The Shocking Similarities Between Jalen Ramsey And Charles Woodson
The Jalen Ramsey conversation just got a lot more interesting. Could the Steelers be preparing to use Ramsey the same way the Packers transformed Charles Woodson late in his career? And if so... could that be the move that unlocks the Steelers defense in 2026? In this episode, Gavin Dawson and Newy break down everything we learned from OTA comments by Steelers Assistant Head Coach and Secondary Coach Joe Whitt Jr. and Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham as Pittsburgh begins a new era on defense. 🏈 Is Jalen Ramsey declining... or was he being miscast? 🏈 Did the previous coaching staff fail to maximize his skill set? 🏈 What exactly are the "Star" and "Money" positions? 🏈 How much will Ramsey play those roles? 🏈 Could Ramsey become a modern version of Charles Woodson? 🏈 Should Ramsey eventually move to free safety? 🏈 Which Steelers defensive backs are most important to making this vision work? The guys also explore: 🔥 How Patrick Graham's defense differs from what Steelers fans have seen in recent years 🔥 The growing importance of the Big Nickel across the NFL 🔥 Why versatility is becoming more valuable than traditional positions 🔥 Whether Ramsey still has another All-Pro run left in him 🔥 The impact Ramsey could have on Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson 🔥 Why DeShon Elliott might be one of the most important players on the entire defense 🔥 Whether Joey Porter Jr., Dean, Brisker, Elliott, and Ramsey can create matchup problems all over the field And perhaps the biggest question of all: Was the Steelers' disappointing defensive performance in 2025 more about the players... or the coaching? If Pittsburgh jumps back into the NFL's elite defensive tier this season, could Patrick Graham quickly become one of the hottest head coaching candidates in football? We wrap up by discussing Ramsey's absence from OTAs and whether Steelers fans should be concerned at all.
