I have been looking forward to Ragland getting on the field since his high school days at Bob Jones. He looked very good Saturday.
IMO we have better players on the D-line than we had last year. Some are new and some are another year older. I expect a more aggressive and disruptive front that can put some pressure on the QB.
We have the old defensive staff back in place. Bo Davis on the D-line, Steele and Thomson at LB and Smart with the DB's.
Ragland was a mad dog out there Saturday. We saw some very good play from a bunch of defensive players. I was really impressed with Tim Williams, DJ Pettway, Tony Brown, Landon Collins, Jonathon Allen, Jarran Reed, A'shawn Robinson, Trey Depriest, Dillon Lee, Ryan Anderson, Maurice Smith, and Xzavier Dickson.
I don't think it was just a case of the "O" not playing well. The defense was stoked all day.
