Chuck Wagon Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I also agree but just putting it out there that he MIGHT need a switch, sometimes coaching can only do so much. If you look at the DEs who played in McD's scheme last year in Carolina, Ragland's size measures up comparably. Saban used him as a nickle DE with his hand in the dirt. Granted college is a different animal, but the amount of posters on here who know more about football than Nick Saban is pretty comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to bump this thread This doesn't QUITE top your "trade Mario for Skelton" thread, but it does give it a run for its' money. The threads on here lately are looney tunes The fact that this thread got to 4 pages says all anyone needs to know about the overall quality of football knowledge on this board nowadays...What is going on around here? Apologies to the folks left on TSW who are in fact football-smart...And there is still plenty of you out there no question...But the minute I read the words RR and 3-tech in the same sentence I pondered what has become of my favorite place for the better part of the past 2 decades...I really miss the days of legit football conversation...Maybe the Bills futility on the field has just rubbed off too much? Maybe the day and age of twitter has played into the quick off-the-top-of-the-head thoughts that seem to be more prevalent here nowadays...I don't know...I find myself spending far less time here than I used to, but my passion for Bills football, and the NFL in general has never waned...I'm just going elsewhere more and more to talk about football... And coming from a poster who's signature has us taking a RB in the 1st?... Anyway... Edited February 27, 2017 by KOKBILLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) LOL A decent Coach will make it work. Ragland is much too good to ignore. BB has a point but lets not define the scheme just yet. Bills have some very experienced Coaches coming in. Make the roster work for you Ragland has the skill set for either defense that gets ran. I still maintain that instinctive football players can play in ANY scheme......people put too much emphasis on athletes that put up great 40 times This defense couldnt stop the run last year.....since that is a Ragland strength we can start there Damnit you're right. After two years of being brainwashed into buying the need for specific talent to fit the scheme, it should be reset back to, give 'em talent and they can build an optimized scheme around it..... as it should be... Eff you Rex Ryan Edited February 28, 2017 by Over 28 years of fanhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eff you Rex Ryan Thank you ! Then you can Always draft BPA ! It is no small feat to overcome our experience over all these years and imagine a fully functioning team feels like. Lot longer than Rex. Lets keep an eye on Reggie as a barometer of the Coaching staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFFacet Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Ragland is a run thumping MLB, the scouting knock on him was that he might lack the agility excel in coverage or as a blitzer. I don't see how OP expects him to magically become explosive and develop rush moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 If you run cover 2 he's got to be able to get back and play centerfield it's pretty rough ... need a smaller guy depends on what kind of coverage is called underneath. Cover two means two(most of the time safeties) defenders covering deep halves of the field. Line backers could be in man, covering flats, qb spy, blitz, short zone, or deep. If raglands isn't good at dropping deep, don't ask him to do that. Ragland is a run thumping MLB, the scouting knock on him was that he might lack the agility excel in coverage or as a blitzer. I don't see how OP expects him to magically become explosive and develop rush moves. he played as a DE and Pass rush Olb sometimes at Bama.
