"Fixing" the issues is an entirely different story, but we flatly added more talent in Ragland which isn't "literally nothing".
I know you're cranky about it all, and I have my own issues with the defense and draft order, but you can't ignore the addition of Ragland, who adds something at once to the talent level.

Ragland has the potential to be better than both of them, but he's not there quite yet.COMING SOON...

Re: Rodak tweet thread
I thought ragland's speed could be an issue. I'm excited to see him and I hope he's ready to go, but I sense he could get the old eddie robinson shake in a key moment and we'll turn on him. or he'll just be awful in coverage over the middle that turns short catches into long gains.

Re: Rodak tweet thread
A couple of thoughts on this thread. First, no one knows at this point how many games Shaq will miss. Second, Adolphus Washington was a pretty good defensive pick, too.
Just to dispel some of the usual negativity here.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Do you really think Ragland, Washington, and Lawson coming off an injury can fix all that? I suppose it's not impossible, but it sure as hell isn't likely. It's the same old story as every other season since this site has existed:
IF Lawson doesn't miss too many games AND
IF the team doesn't dig themselves into a huge hole before he comes back AND
IF he can be effective after missing practice and conditioning time AND
IF Ragland can be effective as a rookie AND
IF Washington can be effective as a rookie AND
IF the D improves in the 2nd year in Rex's system AND
IF no starters miss significant time due to injury,
then the D will be fine.
Nothing negative there- it's simple reality. And realistically some of those "if's" will happen. But it's unrealistic to expect enough of them to happen to fix the cluster**** of a D we fielded last year.
