Ramsey lobbying to cover Chase

While Chase may be harder to keep up with while running routes, Higgins is a huge target — bigger and stronger than Chase — with a huge catch radius who can jump high and fight for contested balls.  Ja’Marr can move freakishly well but Tee will punish a defensive back.

Ramsey shut AJ down pretty good (comparable in size and strength to Higgins). 1 catch for 6 yards and ejected for fighting. I'd say he did his job. 

I think we have a better shot if Ramsey covers Chase 1 v 1. Chase can beat him deep (his weakness if he has one). Chase is quicker and better at getting separation. 

Boyd and Uzo should be our focus on quick throws over the middle. Mix in some deep shots to Chase. If Higgens gets the number two CB 1v1 he should have a good day.

But really, it all comes down to can they protect Burrow. Can they scheme up quick throws to move the chains. If Burrow has only 2 seconds to throw and the receivers aren't getting open in time, it'll be a long day.
