re: Trent frickin' Thompson ....

Ray was big and strong in high school, but if you look at his film he wasn't as explosive off the line as the ends we've gotten lately. Also, I think he would have been more successful at UGA if we'd used a consistent scheme. It was hard for any player to develop an identity under Grantham because they rarely knew exactly how the various parts of the defense were supposed to work together. And Garner seems to have been coasting toward the end of his time at Georgia.

But, Ray had some good games in 2014 and seems to have the right work ethic and attitude. I still think he could play in the NFL if he finds a good fit.
