26CornerBlitz Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Yeah - we have no cap room need. And o-linemen get banged up all the time. Is he even injured? I hope he's on the active 45. Looks like they're preparing hodges in case he isn't. Healthy, but still working his way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 im hoping once the games start and the pads start popping he shows what he can do. he needs to take charge of that team and be the player he was advertised as being. preston brown is a bum, especially against the run. every time they ran it he was getting blocked out of the play and instead of taking on the blocker he would fold up like a cheap tent and absorb the blow and be out of the play. he's a bummmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonborn10 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 There is no more "short term IR". Tames can bring back two IR players w/o any special designation. They still have to be out for a certain number of games though I thought. Did that change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george c Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 They'll love taken on a $2.5 million dead money cap hit instead of paying him $612,000 to keep him. Just listen to Dr. George.. It's just a matter of time before you realize I'm always right.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsgoodtime Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Get him in there in a real game and watch him start knocking the snot out of people....... Hope you are right, I'm not a big fan of Preston, and if he is the clear starter opening the season that scares me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 IIRC, players can be activated from IR after week eight. That's true if he's IRed before week 1 because they've got to spend eight weeks on IR. If a player was put on after week 3, then he couldn't return until after week 11 however.

The Frankish Reich Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 And get him in space and watch Brandon Spikes v 2.0 You're both right. But here's my problem with comments like this: we should be happy if, overall, he's Brandon Spikes v. 2.0! That's a pretty decent draft pick for pick # 41. Spikes came in and started for the Pats right away. He had his limitations, but he was a very useful player. Compare Cyrus Koundjio (# 44). Not every mid-second rounder is a great player. Not every coach is a Rex Ryan, expecting a mid-second rounder to be the best linebacker in the draft. If Ragland is as productive as a young Brandon Spikes, that's a modest win for this organization.

If Ragland is as productive as a young Brandon Spikes, that's a modest win for this organization. Spikes' snap count went down every season because he was unplayable on 2 downs. Ragland being Spikes would be a major failure. I'm giving the guy the season before I get worried. But Alabama qbs, rbs, & lbs are really hard to evaluate because of the lines in front of them. Lot more misses than hits there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree not bashing it to much (however trading up for a role player never smart) but some really need to temper their expectations of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) it wouldn't surprise me, but it doesn't seem logical they would cut ragland. clock is ticking, wont be long now and the 53 will be set. looking forward to the game tomorrow night and my eyes on some of these players working for a spot on the roster.
