Ragland on rushing downs. Okay, so 1st down, maybe? Who do you take out? Humber, who flat out beat Ragland in camp? Brown, who already fills our "hole" at slow LB?
Maybe you rotate him in with those guys? Sure, okay. So Ragland plays every 4th or 5th obvious rushing down? That's like what, 6 plays a game? At that point, what effect is that "adaptation" having?
Your argument could be used for every crappy player in the NFL. "Peterman's a football player, work him in there, adapt the scheme to him!"
We don't need Panthers players. We need 4-3 players. We hired McD because 3/4ths of our defense fits a 4-3 scheme for Christsakes and you want him to NOT run a 4-3 so Reggie Ragland can see a snap a game?
Did Andy Reid adapt his scheme for Ragland or acquire a player that fit his scheme?
I rest my case.
