[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 662276"] It's a "just cannot be sure" with Ragland. He has the speed which is a good place to start. But like so many of these college ILBs, to repeat for the umpteenth time, you just don't see him stray far from the line of scrimmage and when he does it's just zone drop filling space. All these guys are doing what they do to defend the spread/option junk, where the QBs are not often called upon to even work through a progression, and where they're rolling half the time where they couldn't even attempt a throw down the seam. The closes many of these guys come is 2 receiver combo route to one side of the field, opening up somebody with the threat to run. Why do the colleges offenses do this stuff? Because they found it's easier to teach when you have a guy starting for 3, 2 or even 1 year. How can you judge whether a guy can run with an NFL TE or a RB on a wheel route if you've never seen him try it? What you get with a LB like Ragland (or a Floyd for that matter) is an outstanding athlete and instinctual football player. So the material is there to work with. [/QUOTE]
