Based on his choice of comparison, inside linebacker Reggie Ragland apparently believes the Chiefs’ defense contains the potential for greatness. They just need time to build toward that goal.
They also need Ragland to be better.
Ragland, in his second season with the Chiefs after joining the organization via trade in August last year, offered up that assessment following Sunday’s win over the San Francisco 49ers. Of course, he enjoyed the luxury of being self-critical in the aftermath of his team’s third straight win to start the season. Sunday also marked his 25th birthday.
“Piece by piece,” Ragland said of the defense’s getting closer to playing a complete game.
