After falling to a 3-3 record to start the season, Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who is usually very outspoken, has been particularly quiet. After their loss to the Cowboys on Sunday, he stuck with one-sentence answers like “I don't know.” On Thursday, he mostly repeated that routine ahead of the Jaguars' game against the Texans.
With this, Ramsey seems not to be happy about he is being portrayed by the media. In a recent video on Uninterrupted, Ramsey talked about the double-standard in terms of media relations. He is seen on the video saying the following.
"When #BillBelichick answers a question like that and it's like, 'Oh, I love it. Bill Belichick.'" – @jalenramsey on the double standard that he faces when speaking to the media.

“If I did that it's like, ‘Jalen's an a–hole. Jalen's an a–hole, why's he answering questions like this? But Bill Belichick answers a question like that and it's like, ‘Oh I love it. Bill Belichick.' Man, come on. Y'all are corny bro.”
It is true that Belichick is known to give the media a hard time himself. Most of the time, he doesn't give the media helpful answers. However, there is a reason for the difference in treatment between Ramsey and Belichick.
Belichick has always shown his disinterest in dealing with the media and only does because he's required to do so. In a way, he is consistent in his ways.
Ramsey, on the other hand, is usually the guy who is calling other guys out and talks a big game. But when he decidedly doesn't want to talk when the Jaguars are losing, then it will probably continue to draw attention.
The only way for these issues to go away is for the Jaguars to start winning again. They play a Houston Texans team which has a lot of momentum having just won their third straight game.
