Best CB in the league. Ramsey's comments about the fight.
Quote
(Waiting for Green outside Bengals’ locker room?)
You know what I’m saying – I wanted my money’s worth. I got kicked out for not doing anything. I did what the coaches and everybody to do – to not fight back, basically, and just let him do whatever he was trying to do. And I still got kicked out so, yeah, I wanted my money’s worth.
(Surprised when Green grabbed him from behind?)
He walked behind me and did that little p---- s---. I talk my talk and get under their skin. There are rumors out there that I said some deep and personal stuff but that’s not true. I get out there and do my thing and talk s--- but I don’t think about nobody’s wife, nobody’s kids, nobody’s family. That is not true at all and I think he said that. I told him on almost every play he was weak and soft and (the fight) demonstrated the facts – he can’t handle the truth. I told him his time is almost up. I told him it was easy, which it was – he had one catch for six yards. I was out there spewing facts to him and he got mad. And then people tried to talk about the push. I pushed him every single play – we can go back and look at the film. I told him to stop putting his hand on me on a run play. He put his hand on me and I pushed him again and he fell because he’s weak and small. And then he did what he did. It wasn’t a late push. The whistle hadn’t blown yet. I wasn’t going to get flagged for that push because it was during the play. No flag came out until he grabbed me. It wasn’t dirty. It wasn’t a cheap shot. It was none of that. At the end of the day, yeah, I was hot because I got kicked out and wanted my money’s worth. If I knew I was going to be kicked out, I would have fought back easily. That’s the quickest way off of Ramsey Island, though. He had one catch for six yards.
(Did you get into Green’s head?)
Some people are mentally strong. He wasn’t during the game. I talked to a few of his teammates afterward, a couple of guys I know and they told me once A.J. started talking back, you knew you had him because he never talks. I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s what I try and do every week – to try and get them to talk back.’ I knew I had him to a point and the stadium kind of helped me out because right before we went (back) out there, they showed the big highlight of me locking him down and his one catch for six yards. I knew he was over there broiling. His teammates said he was pretty mad over there.
