Every NFL offense has guys that can outrun Wagner. This goes back to when he was on Seattle and we played them a few years ago. Gibson caught a simple screen pass and out ran him for a long TD. He wasn't fast enough of cut off the angle. Same thing last year on the 1st or 2nd play of the Eagles championship game when SaQuan ran a long one.
If Magee does not know the defense by now then why is he even on the team? If you are a 2nd year LB and the guy in front of you is 35 years old, and you cannot even get on the field then that tells me you're on the struggle bus.
