boyst Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 If Ragland shows up over 240, for a new coaching staff, in a new defense, after a lost rookie year, being a questionable scheme fit, he's a complete, utter moron.   In what world is that? Bizarro NFL? Manning is 36 and wasn't Peyton to begin with. They might not even make the playoffs this year, let alone be a super bowl contender. giants are my dark horse playoff guy. He could be a really good addition to the roster.

Estro Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Â Congratulations on killing the best joke this place has probably ever had. Â A laugh riot. Silly Bills fans. Valuing 3rd and 4th round draft choices over FA FB's, backup OL & crappy CB's. What morons would ever question such moves. Â (Sarcasm on) Â Get busy winning or get busy losing, ust dont get stuck in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Would love to discuss it, but it doesn't look like there is actual conversation about the player going down.let's start one  What I like about Hodges is his versatiliy. He is similar to Poz in that he can cover the areas between the tackles quite well and back pedal fairly well. He can move to the flats to find the area where he needs to be. What I see as deficient in him is similar to Poz in that get can get lost in the wash as I've always heard it called. When traffic is thick he is not effective and he doesn't hold up against big OL like a bigger LB might. Also, similar to Poz he doesn't have the best hand eye coordination.  Short of that I like that he brings acceleration and football instinct to a team lacking experience at LB.  If we can get a solid DE in front of him to chip the TE it will be yuge. Having a solid nickel inside to keep the slot players from slipping inside him will also help.  In this defense I just don't know. We can't run like Carolina. We don't have Keuchly and Davis. We have a better DL and equal DB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a better DL and equal DB's. He is versatile in a sense that he can be moved from Will in 4-3 under schemes to Sam in 4-3 over schemes. The over front helps protect him versus OL climbing to the second level, it keeps him clean because as you alluded to, he isn't a take on player. He has to play stacked behinid the DL as he doesn't stack and shed well. But he is VERY good at scraping, and flowing over the top as those DL spill the play wide. He has some man coverage limitations because he doesn't fire when he changes direction. But as far as a zone defender, he has the zone eyes and awareness to click and close on threats entering his zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the athletes yet that they had in Carolina, so he has to find guys that can fill roles. In essence, piece mealing rather than having a do it all guy.

3rdand12 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Def. We don't have the athletes yet that they had in Carolina, so he has to find guys that can fill roles. In essence, piece mealing rather than having a do it all guy. Should provide some insight into Sean's flexibility and ability to adapt to the players he has to work with. He is not going to attain Carolina styled defense this year for sure. I look forward to how he responds this season into next too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
