In recent years, there have been some conspiracies in the Pittsburgh Steelers WR-CB matchup, particularly the one-on-one matchup during training camp. People like Joey Porter Jr. and the Battle of George Pickens have led to great theatres.
There will be a large fireworks at Chuck Nor Field at St. Vincent University in Latrobe this summer. We’re talking about the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams and the matchups that have a history dating back to their respective eras: Jalen Ramsey and DK Metcalf.
In Kyle Blunt in Good Morning Football, Metcalf and Ramsey’s matchup reminds me of an old-fashioned matchup on Terrell Owens Day against the Pac-Man Jones at Dallas Cowboys training camp where he was in attendance.
“I think this is a big matchup. Don’t forget Jalen Ramsey, a longtime RAM. He played a lot with DK at NFC West. According to video via the NFL Network. “I think two good guys are really, really competitive. These are two alphas and two sharks.
Between Ramsey and Metcalf there is a history dating back to the matchups at NFC West. They had lots of dust ups on the field – both during and after play.
Now they are Pittsburgh teammates. They oppose each other many times during training camp, but this becomes a big storyline. Things can also be tense. It can get hotter and a competitive environment flows through the juice, leading to some intense moments.
They’re not strangers to them as they’ve really driven each other out on the field throughout their careers. It never gets at all Andre Johnson Cortland Finnegan RebelBut there’s definitely history there.
Now they are teammates that all have to go to the past. This is similar to Darius Slay and Darnell Washington, who were obsessed with it last season in a game in Philadelphia. Now they wear the same colour, It is the water under the bridge.
Hopefully that’s what Metcalf and Ramsey were big, offensive offseason important pieces for the Steelers, so hopefully that’s the case. After chasing a big fish at receiver in the most recent offseason, GM Omar Khan finally landed the fish, hooking Metcalf from Seattle on trade, giving it an extension of five years after trade from $150 million.
Metcalf is the true No. 1 receiver in black and gold and is counted in a major way.
After years of praise on Ramsey, head coach Mike Tomlin finally reached out to him, blocking the hole by giving Pittsburgh a secondary versatile piece.
Outside of Aaron Rodgers, the two were the biggest names the Steelers added this offseason. Later this month, all eyes will be on them in Latrobe. Hopefully, Tomlin gives everyone a matchup they want to see right away, allowing Ramsey and Metcalf to put up the hype.
