What may have been lacking toward the end of last season in leadership, Tide linebacker Reggie Ragland believes that it is there this year and is already seeing players stepping up to “walk and talk the talk”.
“We start to lose focus on the prize and not the right things,” Ragland said per Al.com. “I think the leadership we have now this year, guys are talking more about having more respect on the field for the opponents. When you don’t have respect for opponents, that’s when they turn the speed up on you. You have to have respect for everybody you play because any can get hit in the mouth at any time.
