CB Jalen Ramsey

(What are some things you’ve been working on this offseason to just try to improve and detail your craft?) – “Just the basics, same old same old. This is Year 9 for me, I know what it takes to be successful. We’ve got a new defense, just focusing on making sure I know the new defense and know all the positions in the defense. That’s it.”

(What’s it been like working with Defensive Coordinator Anthony Weaver?) – “It’s been cool. It’s been fun so far. A lot of communication between us two. I think he’ll let me show my full skill set once again this year, so it should be fun.”

(What have you noticed as far as the differences between with Defensive Coordinator Anthony Weaver and Vic Fangio last year?) – “I’m not going to compare them. I’m not going to sit here and do that. Y’all can do that on your own, but I think he’s a great coach. I think he’s a good hire. I think he’ll put guys in position to do really good things and show their whole skill sets. That’s fun – it makes the game fun.”

(Now that you’ve had an entire offseason to get over that injury you had, how much better do you feel now maybe than November or December last year?) – “I mean if I didn’t feel good, I wouldn’t have played last year.”

(So you were the whole way back last year?) – “I mean I played and I was a Pro Bowler, so I did pretty well.”

(How much do you just enjoy the full slate of lining up in different places and being involved in several facets of the defense, not just staying on one side?) – “Those are things that I’ve done throughout my whole career besides last year. Last year was the only time I didn’t follow and only stayed on one side of the field. So last year was kind of a different year for me rather than this being different. This is like back to what I do, back to where I thrive and made impact and have a lot of fun playing the game.”

(We haven’t spoken to you since the Xavien Howard move. What was your reaction then and what do you think of CB Kendall Fuller now coming in?) – “’X’ (Xavien Howard) is always going to be my dude. That’s my guy. I wish he could still be a part of the team. Business is business, I understand it, but I’m always rooting for him. Arguably the best corner in Dolphins history, so that’s my guy. But me and Kendall (Fuller) go way back to like high school, so that’s my guy too. It’ll be fun teaming up with him.”

(What’s it like now having S Jordan Poyer in the secondary? A veteran like that along with yourself, just a lot of veteran presence now in the secondary.) – “It’s cool. It’s cool, I ain’t been able to – we ain’t played no games, just a couple practices together, but it’s cool. I’ve got a lot of respect for him and what he’s done in his career thus far. Glad to have him a part of this defense, I think he brings a lot of knowledge to this defense along with his skill set. I think he’s a really good player and can make a lot of plays and also can make a lot of impact with the team. I think him and Jevon (Holland) can be one of the best duos in the league. I’m just really looking forward to them being the guys back there.”

(You have a new Cornerbacks Coach Mathieu Araujo. What can you tell us about him?) – “Yeah, he was here last year as an assistant. We had a good relationship last year and it’s just grown throughout the offseason and now into this minicamp. That’s my guy.”

(I wanted to ask you about what you think of WR Odell Beckham Jr. and just how excited you are to be able to play with him again?) – “It’s cool. It’s cool – I don’t know what you want me to say, but it’s cool. (laughter) That’s my brother. We have history playing on the same team in L.A., but now is now. I want to be on the same team as all my friends, so it’s cool.”
