Let's be fair here - that WR wasn't exactly busting it through his route. And he covered him for about 3 steps on a drag - most guys can do that.
But I'm not here to shovel dirt on Ragland. I'd like to see him do well; I loved the acquisition when we picked him up.
I just think that Stout's overstating what actually happened here. He wasn't out in the open field sticking in the pocket of a 4.5 guy in full gallop. We know he couldn't have done that even at his healthiest so trying to say he's suddenly doing so now kinda undermines ones credibility and makes it look a little homerish. [Reply]

Sadly, last year the idea of Ragland in a flat against anyone was scary as shit, even that little bit is better than it was. [Reply]
This is an area that we could see a big upgrade. Last year Ragland could not get to gaps in time, Hitchens did early in the season but struggled after his chest injury (not as worried about him).
I vividly remember Collinsworth talking about this when we played Seattle.
Darron Lee got to show off his speed and stopping power on the goal line this week. OL block down and TE's kick the DE wide, leaving a giant hole and an easy cut for six. Lee reads the initial block, sees the gap develop, and accelerates into the hole to stuff the RB. pic.twitter.com/HztjhKVWnD

Ragland looks noticeably quicker out there so far this year. This play in particular shows some of the speed he's gained back in 2019, having to cover a 4.47 WR in the flat on a play designed to get him free. Takes away the flat and allows Tanoh to force a throwaway. pic.twitter.com/ajuOKeJmTY

Okay ... I just can't ignore this right here ...
That was not an exhibition of speed by the motion guy, Tanoh was unblocked and had a free release. Meanwhile, Ragland was lumbering like an ox trying to track his man ... having already bitten on the fake.
So Ragland dips his head to try and generate momentum while giving up ground in order to get a possible angle because he knows there's no damn way he'll get there.
I'm the most Homeric homer of all, but come on nah ...
3 picks off of Mahomes today, correct? 1 by Thornhill and 2 by Breeland. I sure wish the folks covering camp would say who is running with the one's today at all 11 spots. [Reply]
Neimann definitely has more speed than Ragland, but I swear to god he doesn’t look much bigger than Sorenson. I fear he will get destroyed trying to take on any block

Jeff Rosen and his minions should be ridiculed until they're gone.
Keep ripping them on social media, with no clicks on their medium that gets them paid [Reply]
