Kelee Ringo’s Recent Performances Garner Attention
In Philadelphia, Kelee Ringo, a cornerback known for his college tenure at Georgia, shared insights about his performance and upcoming prospects. After a narrow 24-21 loss to Alabama last weekend, Ringo’s focus shifted towards the NFL. He recently made his first start of the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is eager for a possible second start against the Denver Broncos this Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
Prospect of Starting Again: What Coaches Say
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio hinted at the possibility of Ringo starting his second consecutive game, even if fellow cornerback Adoree Jackson recovers from a groin injury. “I thought he played really well for it being his first start this season,” praised Cooper DeJean. “He communicated effectively on the field, which was great to see.”
Ringo’s On-Field Challenges and Areas for Improvement
Although Ringo wasn’t heavily targeted by the Buccaneers, his defensive presence was solid. However, his tackling technique left room for improvement. Fangio emphasized that Ringo’s true assessment will be based on how well he adapts and refines his skills moving forward. The corner himself acknowledged the need to enhance his tackling.
Special Teams vs. Defensive Play: Ringo’s Insights
Ringo discussed the nuances of tackling on special teams compared to defense. “On special teams, it’s about taking your shot at full speed with less need for strategic calculation,” he explained. This mindset reflects his understanding of the differences in approach and execution between the two facets of the game.
Future Prospects: What Lies Ahead?
When asked about his potential start against Denver, Ringo responded with a smile, “To be continued.” Head coach Nick Sirianni also hinted at Ringo’s strong performance in practice. “He did some really good things against the Bucs, including a critical fourth-down breakup,” Sirianni mentioned.
The anticipation is high for Ringo as game day approaches, with fans and analysts keen to see if he continues to secure a starting role. As the team prepares for another important matchup, Ringo’s development and contributions remain a significant storyline.
