I had the same kind of thought. I am glad they are putting so much emphasis on ball security. As we all know that has certainly been a problem the last few years."Strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran lurked around the RB group as it went through individual drills Tuesdays as the players carried a football high and tight in each arm. Cochran tried to punch the footballs out of their grasp when they weren't looking."
This cracked me up 'cause I'm visualizing him sneaking up and trying to punch the football loose and yelling 'YEA YEA YEA YEAH!!!!!!'
Photos can play tricks. Remember last year when "Eddie Lacy is fat"! Trey's bulkier than CJ but he does all right. Ragland is the kid I'm fired up about. That guy is all over the field.Man Trey looks a little pudgy in that picture. I don't see how he is going to take over the role of CJ. I just don't think he can cover ground like CJ could and play in the nickel and dime packages as effectively.
Me too. He may just finally break out this year.Photos can play tricks. Remember last year when "Eddie Lacy is fat"! Trey's bulkier than CJ but he does all right. Ragland is the kid I'm fired up about. That guy is all over the field.
Trey played LB in the nickel last year also so we're ok there, but I don't think the plan is for him to be like CJ. Trey was mike and CJ was will. TD will likely stay at will and it looks like Lee is in the mix for nickel will. TD did come off the field in dime, so we'll have to see if he slides over to that spot or if someone like Lee ends up being that guy.Man Trey looks a little pudgy in that picture.

I agree I have been hearing Hamilton is looking very good in the middle as well.We shouldn't compare CJ to DePriest. It's a little unfair to expect everyone to be that good. What we do have this year (imo) is more quality players at MLB that are ready to play. I think Foster and Ragland are going to make big impacts this season (literally and figuratively).
