I will try 60% harder to ignore you in the future👌 I agree wholeheartedly

Dont think ive missed one in 9 years..i was gonna ask you the same lmao.So let me get this straight.."on pace " for 40% snaps is the same as 40% snaps?? I think not. He was limited in action, not because he had a putrid season but because of the Ryan clan's inability to use the players he had at the cost of his own scheme. Say what you want, but by no means did he prove himself a bust.Also, a 60% increase in coverage is not "alot" to you? You have the pretense of being a numbers guy, but that only pertains to proving your own theory, is that correct? Why the F*#! are you so down on such a talented kid? All you do is pull meaningless BS from your arse to try to sound like a knowledgeable tough guy.when in fact, you come across as a complete !@#$ who only finds fault in everyone other than yourself. I bet your single and live at home with mommy n daddy.am i right? Probably not many friends?? I got news for ya, you are not the football guru you think you are.So try a different approach to sharing your thoughts on the team that we all love. And try to find positives in all things. Because frankly, you are a drag man✌

he had one start.one. so technically he WAS just plopped in for reps. Also, Mario dropped into coverage 28 times in 2015, compared to only 13 times in 2014. So he did actually drop bqck into coverage alot more. Roughly 60% more. While 28 might not seem ALOT, the percentage sure was

Miami Cox!

Lol....sorry bout that. I cant ever forget the sight of that. It was just wrong on so many levels lol

Yup, just goes to show what different schemes mean for different players. Nobody really knows at this point. Certainly not us casual fans...

So Reggie is not the only one still working on scheme? Interesting...

I dont even want to see a pic of Bruce in Brown's gear. It was hard enough to see him in Redskins uni's. Not as disgusting as seeing Thurman in a Dolphins uni, but horrible nonetheless👎

I wouldn't be surprised. By reading into his reps, he's not there Yet. But I think he's got more talent than the field and should find a starting role by the early stages of the season. At least, I hope so!

He had 45.5 TFL and 20 sacks in college. Of which 12.5 sacks came in his final year. I'd say his ability to set the edge was not just a pre-excuse. It was duely noted throughout his career. When you scout him pre-draft, that's what you see. And that's what you draft. Its a very well rounded skill set. I argue that's exactly his strenghth, and why he was drafted

Try this line of thinking....Reggie Ragland, the SEC DPOY in 2015 was on his way to good things under Ryan's 3-4 defense until he tore his acl. Despite the fact that he is still rehabbing, and learning his second play book in as many years, in a defense he has never played before, he has moved up from third team reps to second team reps in 5 short days of camp. 5 SHORT DAYS! Alot has been discussed of his possible short comings(speed, instincts,liabilities in coverage, ability to be a 3 down lb'er) which may or may NOT come to fruition. However, there is no denying his production in college. Will it translate well in the NFL? We will find out. One thing is certain, he has moved up the pecking order, and there is still time to "master" his new role as the preseason unfolds. McD has said publicly that he brings a physical and emotional presence that we "need" on this team. I wouldn't write him off just yet based on some kind of personal dislike or vendetta. There! Try that buddy.you'll feel better...promise👍

I IMPLIED NOTHING! Just stating a fact. Its you who are IMPLYING he is/will be no good

See:Get a grip on reality

I dont think he's full speed just yet, although he has moved up to 2nd string reps....

Absolutely love hearing how good his camp has been! Two good shoulders might be bad news for offensive lines this year.The season can't start soon enough!!

Well, he was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year....so, there's that. That's not an indictment on him to assume he'll be no good, is it?

I guess I've come to the right place then👌

Is that allowed here?? 🙈🙉🙊

That's a pretty fair assessment IMO. At the least I think he will be solid, with a nasty, energizing style of play. I certainly don't see anything that points to a slow, throwback bust that can only play in a 3-4 for the 70's Steelers. All in all, not bad for a 2nd round pick.Nice Read. Thank you for that. A few things tho...by every other account it WAS his instinctual play that put him in proper position, as he doesn't have elite speed to react. Maybe its a bit of both. Also, we will be playing more zone than man.so that should benefit his perceived strengths regarding coverage duties. Im ready to see this kid play👍

Umm...I was merely responding to the Humber thread. You then brought up Zay and I just mentioned where Cunningham was available in relationship to our pick. Thats all. Love the Zay pick. Loved Cunningham. But we are gonna have to make due with what we have this year. I certainly dont feel like it was a losing situation....just wish we could have gotten a better option at Wlb. Understand?

He's been running with the two's. Maybe you're not as conversant on coach speak as you think?

Maybe because he played in 10 games last year and has 2 good legs? Nobody said he cant master a "simple 4-3".He will have minimal at best chance of not mastering his defense. And when he does, and is comfortable on his knee, he will flat out ball!Also, Shaq has played 4-3 and thrived. Reggie only a 3-4. Its been 5 days of practice. Gimme a break with this nonsense....

Yes, acclimate. Not struggling to master. He's a smart cookie. The biggest challenge for him is his own confidence on his surgically repaired knee. He'll know the D.He'll succeed when given chances, and those chances will increase with the more confidence he gains. The kid is a gamer. It will be fun watching him grow as a player, regardless the position he ultimately winds up starting/securing. I can't for the life of me figure out why some folks have already written him off when we have yet to see him play a game ....

Where did you hear that? As quoted by whom? Ive never heard that he is struggling to master anything. In fact, Frazier said he is a highly intellectual and instinctive player. I call BS on your fake assessment
