Nick Sirianni May Have Spilled The Beans On His Starting Corner Vs. Broncos

“It’s not a secret,” he said. “Anybody who watched the game, I missed a few tackles, and I need to get better at them. It was the first thing I said to myself when I missed them. …Personally, do you really respect the game if you’re going out there knowing you need to get better at something and you’re not really doing it, and are you just surviving? That’s the internal question you have with yourself.”

Ringo was asked about one of Fangio’s comments, about tackling on special teams being different than on defense.

“On defense, there’s no telling what angle you’ll need to take or what situation you’ll be in,” said the corner. “On special teams, it’s taking your shot full speed. There’s not as much reading. You can go out there and being strictly a hunter. You can use your brain a little less on special teams rather than on defense.”

Finally, Ringo was asked – “are you starting?”

The 23-year-old let a big smile escape. He knows that he would hear from his head coach, Nick Sirianni, if he revealed that info 48 hours before kickoff.

Sirianni wouldn’t even concede that Nakobe Dean wouldn’t be activated even though Dean pout on social media that he wouldn’t be added to the roster for the game against Denver.

So, after smiling, Ringo said: “To be continued. It’s not to be found out yet, so it’s to be continued.”

Sirianni may have actually let it slip before practice when asked about the Ringo's practice week.

“He did some really good things in that Bucs game, big fourth-down pass breakup that gave us the ball back, and did some really nice things in coverage,” said the coach. “Looking forward to seeing him play on Sunday.”
