The Raiders are about SBs like Millennials are about making money. Sure they all go to school with hopes of becoming a rich astronaut doctor but they end up working at Starbucks.

Playing Abram “in the box” is not going to help him much. It’s not like I’m 2004 when Roy Williams was considered a good safety. Abram would still have to cover people and I’m not sure he could cover...
Who runs a defensive scheme that doesn’t rely on good DLs, LBs, or DBs? That’s the guy Gruden should’ve hired.
Ugh, aren’t there any schemes that don’t need a good defensive line?
Booooooooring. Talk about him riding Caroll’s and Bosa/Ingram all you want, what happened in Jacksonville? As soon as Bradley left, Marrone took the Jaguars from a bottom-5 defense to a top-3...
So did Gruden bring back Chuck Bresnahan yet?
You can say that again, brotha. Some fools don’t even know how to pronounce salmon. Pay attention in school!
Re: the pads, there are some who believe that the players shouldn’t wear pads or...
Remind me, who was the last QB that Gruden ever developed? You can hope for anything but that’s not realistic.
Can’t believe this 3-4 myth is still going around.
Plus can these guys really be that much worse anyways if they “play out of position” in the 3-4?
I will say though, that penalty against Kwiatkoski on the Chargers’ 3rd and goal to make it first and goal was pretty lame. I think Kwiatkoski was aiming to hit with his shoulder and ended up making...
Don’t forget, motioning the RB to draw attention to the roll out side AND going to Ingold in the flat for the 50th time in a high leverage situation.
Ok Gruden, we get it. You like Ingold and...
Barely mobile? He doesn’t tuck it and run or do option run that often but that doesn’t mean he’s immobile. Obviously not the same caliber of players, but you wouldn’t call Aaron Rodgers “barely...
I’m not going to go as far as to say that Carr definitely would’ve won it, but I can tell you that Gruden wouldn’t have called that terrible play on 3rd and goal if Carr had been in the game, and I’d...
I wouldn’t say that the D has been doing any worse than it has been all season, they really have been this bad all year with the exception of a few drives against the Chiefs. The OL does seem to be...
I guess I got confused and remembered it as a fact when I really good it from this user’s speculation:
Erik pulling out his hair bc McMillan made 2 nice plays in a row and he’s been calling him to get snaps all season. Too little, too late.
lol the least 3-4 plays are a perfect microcosm of the Raiders’ 2020 season.
The thing is, even if Zimmer did get fired from Minnesota, and he was willing to accept a job as a coordinator, AND he was interested in coaching the Raiders, I’m not sure Gruden’s ego would allow...
Is Zimmer still on the hot seat? He would be a great get in the off-season!
Phillips’ defense is more like a 4-3 than a traditional 3-4. Basically, it’s a 4-3 in which one DE stands up and sometimes drops into coverage. If Crosby stands up, that alignment would suit Ferrell...
If Phillips signed with the Raiders and he worked his magic the way he usually does, they instantly become SB contenders.
I feel like the half a season under John Marshall was the best defense since the SB squad got disbanded.
Would love that for them just for the jokes, like when the Knicks got the 8th pick. But let them get their wins off someone else.
Separation is about quick twitch ability and route running. I’ve seen Ruggs make at least catch this year where he showed great hands.
Wow that is a crazy stat.
