WizardHawk Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Huge blow to an already short-handed defense if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 That would definitely hurt. I'd imagine with Durant on the roster we likely won't make any big acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll just be swapping with Wilson or Durant instead of Hitchens now. He looked really good tonight. I was there and watched him closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingmonkey30 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 If Wilson ends up suspended as well, we're going to need some help at LB. Wonder if they revisit Washington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we didn't grab Harris when he was available. Anyone else out there or are we just going to go in house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardHawk Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Would bet they stay in house....but if not, isn't Perry Riley available? Hell, maybe give Zach Orr a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasmade Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 That's a bit of a relief.....I think. EDIT: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas94Ware Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hitchens is severely underrated. He is a throwback linebacker able to hunt ball carriers. He's not going to stand out athletically, and he certainly won't go making too many game changing plays, but he will hold his ground and tackle ball carriers consistently. We have somewhat decent LB depth, but not too many guys like this who can play that headhunter ball missile on the early downs. Durant maybe, but shucks. Hitchens is a real thumper in the front 7.

WizardHawk Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Much better news than anticipated. Might keep an eye on this.... Per Mosher...Ragland was top 40 on Dallas board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I liked Ragland going into the draft. Know he was viewed as a 1st round prospect by some, so somewhat surprising to see him as a potential cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiller Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 This really worries me. I think our D is really gonna be effected by him being gone. He just doesn't make many mistakes and is one of the few we have who can fly to the ball and make plays in space. And I agree with who ever said Smith is not really game ready yet from what I see hopefully Smith can make a few situational plays at important times in a game to make up for his absense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
