Sure looks like Ragland. And if Ragland was really in man on the TE there, then it looks like Hitchens has just hit the back of his 'drop' and is starting to come downfield to blast anyone on the cross (though he's late) and he reads Brady's eyes so he starts to bail.
Hard to really be positive at all, but it looks like MAYBE Hitchens took a false step to stick with the inside slot guy (probably supposed to drop him off to Wilson with Mathieu maybe providing help over the top) and it let Edelman get clean out of his break. If Ragland wasn't supposed to be dropping off the TE there to take that short zone, then it almost has to have been Hitchens that ended up responsible for it.
Ward is clearly in man on the bottom of the field but that doesn't mean that Breeland was supposed to be up high. He could been in a zone there and passing Edelman to Hitchens fairly easily.
