Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is expressing concerns that the team may not be utilizing star cornerback Jalen Ramsey's unique skill set to its full potential. Ramsey, who was brought in to solidify the secondary, has been playing a versatile role this season, lining up in the slot, on the outside, and near the line. However, Roethlisberger believes that Ramsey's strengths as a playmaker are best showcased when he's used inside, where he can blitz, stop the run, or cover tight ends. Despite Ramsey's capabilities on the outside, Roethlisberger argues that leaving him there on an island is a waste of his talents. The Steelers' thin secondary and the recent issues on the outside, such as the Week Eight loss to the Bengals, have added pressure to the team's decision-making process. They must now choose between trying someone new outside and keeping Ramsey inside or sticking with the current setup and risking not fully utilizing Ramsey's abilities.
