So disappointed that we didnt grab one early in the draft.If this is the plan, i hope it works

EPIC! Lmfao!

You claimed that our best lb could not even start on 16 other teams. Thats what you said. I reminded you we had a pro bowl lb'er. Epic fail by you, sir...lmao

You are a funny kinda funny. All Im going to say is we had a LB in the pro bowl...ya, i know what that means.Or what it doesn't mean anymore, but still. I think he could start on more than just 16 teams👍

Where are the experts that know for a fact he cant play in a 4-3? Keep in mind...Frazier said before camp started that he believes that both Brown AND Ragland could be on the field at the same time. Meaning perhaps that Rags is a top 3 LB'er on this team. Just because he hasn't had first team reps yet, doesn't mean that he won't the more comfortable in the scheme, and on his knee he becomes. It's early. I still say if the best 3 play, its Brown at Will, Rags at MLB and Zo at Sam. Time will tell

I think MOST GM's want "their" guy, no?

^^this. Lmao

I know. I remember that. He made the claim that all 31 other teams passed on him. LMAO he must have thought the draft stopped after the 41st pick overall? Lol

So, unless Rex starts coaching again, or your time machine idea takes place, you're saying Reggie Ragland will be a complete bust of a player with no chance at making an impact in the league, despite scheme or NFL level coaching? You are grasping air with open hands buddy.......

Yeah, i can see that. The whole thing depends on how fast Rags gets his legs back and is able to fly around on that knee with comfort in his own ability IMO. But your point is very plausible

If he can get up to speed(so to speak) I still think he's a top 3 lb on our roster. McD has said the best 3 will play. Although we haven't seen it thus far in camp, I look for him to make a push at MLB. With Brown at Will and Zo at Sam in base packages at least....So NO, I can't see him being cut

Gotcha on the balance thing.thanks for clarifying

Every practice so far, one thing has been consistent. Zay Jones has been lined up as a top 3 wr. The only thing that may change, barring injury, will be that he claims the #2 over Holmes. By all accounts, he has been excellent and polished thus far in every practice. Silky smooth is a phrase ive heard thrown around. As far as Dawkins goes, lets give him a chance before proclaiming his balance as "meh", shall we? He was very good as a four year starter in college, and is versatile.

Well I think there's a difference between being an ideal fit for one position and not being able to play another. He knew he wasn't an ideal fit as a 3-4 OLB. Thats all he was saying. Fact is, he DID play it last year...so he in fact CAN, just not as well as he can at 4-3 DE

I agree whole heartedly John. If he is in fact 100% healthy after all these years( he even went as far as to say the issues started in HS!) then I am super excited to see what kind of pass rusher he can become on TOP of being an excellent edge setter. It can only bode well for us IMO

Lol..he didnt look horrible to me. He looked like a rookie 4-3 DE that was moved to an unnatural 3-4 OLB position who was already behind the "curve" due to his surgery. But hey, thats just my opinion Got a quote to back up why he was or was not drafted? Because that was exactly his strength at Clemson...setting the edge and cleaning up the mess left by the pass rush! So, to draft him as merely a sack artist is laughable, and not the truth

Or....maybe this is just an easier scheme for him?? But obviously he must be putting "blame" on someone lmao. For what exactly, im guessing only you know, cause I didn't see or hear any mention of the need to blame. Blame for what exactly?

IDK...he's a PA boy drafted by Philly. Depends on how many hard feelings he still has at them for trading him like they did

You mean SECOND ROUND prospect. I haven't heard any complaints as of yet to how he's grasping the "learning curve". He was a multi-year starter at LT in college. I think he's long since been converted

^^this should just about end the conversation into recreational/medical use. Im hoping the kid gets/stays healthy.

Ty for posting the link. Im not very PC saavy...especially from my phone lol

I dont think they've done it before. There's an article about it on BB.com As far as I can tell, its only 4 evening practices

He had no ties to the new regime. Hope its a decent round pick next year....

That joke translates perfectly👍
