apuszczalowski Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 What was so horrible with what he wrote? It wasn't that horrible, and if he isn't a fit for this defence it's not a horrible idea to look into a trade. It's quite possible he doesn't look like he will be a fit because he hasn't had the time on the field, or it's possible he is one of those guys that doesn't fit a 4-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Your probably right... it didnt tell me he was the author before I opened it... Well he is the Bills writer for ESPN so chances are if it's about the Bills and it's on ESPN then he wrote it.

Maynard Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 By all accounts so far, this is plausible. He just may not be a great fit for this D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I didn't read the whole thing. The title and first paragraph is correct tho. Ragland is not suited to be a 4/3 LB and it's shown so far this camp. we should trade him before he starts to look terrible to everyone else in games. While we still have even the slightest of trade value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont feel he is a fit for this D at all and we need to seek a trade and get something for him. I didn't read the whole thing. The title and first paragraph is correct tho.

mrags Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hey look. Something negative about a Bills player and the pitchforks come out.im not saying he's bad. He's not suited to play the 4/3. Period. It's not a knock on him. It's more of a knock on Fat Rex for trying to switch this defense over to the 3/4. But I'm sure Ragland is better than Dareus, Kyle Williams, and Mario Williams at LB. Rex thought that was a good idea too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not 1 article it's 100 articles with nothing but negativity on the bills I don't think McDermott is giving up on Ragland you seem to think I'm dogging on Ragland. I'm not. It's not his fault he's not fit for the 4/3. Just like how Brandon Spikes wasn't suited to be anything besides a run stuffed. It is what it is. Trade the guy while you still have some interest in him. But if you keep trying to put a square peg in a round hole your going to make potential trade partners think your trading him because he's terrible.

Rex thought that was a good idea too. Talking more about the OP and fragging of a writer. I agree with tou he doesnt fit this defense and likely is a 2 down lber. I have called him Spikes 2.0. So to be honest if he can sill that type of role for 1st contract not to bad for a second round pick. Just stop drafting for specific systems and trading up for role players in future please Bills.

blacklabel Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 He's a doofus but it was inevitable that this type of stuff was going to start getting published with the news coming out that Ragland has been set with the third-team defense lately. IMO, it's a touch too early to really consider a trade scenario, if I'm the Bills, that is, simply because they haven't seen the kid play in any NFL games. The pre-season will give them a good idea of what they have with him. They've been saying all along that they're just slowly working him back in as they don't want any setbacks with his ACL. But it is obvious that he's more suited for a 3-4. However, I like his skill-set and his play recognition is excellent. You'd think a coach as creative as McDermott would find a way to get him involved somehow. Even if he has to be a depth player this season, they are too thin at linebacker to trade this dude away right now even if he isn't a perfect fit for the scheme.

Maybe he's been working with the 2s and 3s a lot because A) still getting legs under him. B) About to see a lot of time with the 2s and 3s in preseason. Heavy reps to see how the knee handles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I happen to agree that Ragland is not a fit for this D or any other D being run in the NFL. He fits the extinct Rex D. No one is going to trade for him. I also agree that Rodak is a dirt bag and would say this kind of crap about Bills player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
