Look at the impact Claiborne is having already!!!!

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.

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.

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.

If Lee has added a little weight, why can't he just play in the middle?

When it came to run defense it was his best game of his career including college

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.

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

Dude looks like a safety more than a LB

Ragland just can't move. There's not really a spot for that in today's NFL.

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

I wonder if Wade hurt himself by being ejected.
