Hopefully we replace positional coaches at RB and TE with competent people. I think coordinators responsible for game plans are more important in the grand scheme of things, but no question guys like Waller and Moreau developed really well under Smith, and we need to keep this as a position of...

You and @ICON211 have great points -- I wasn't really talking about the rate of the Raiders D blitz YoY or comparative to the rest of the league. It was great data you both brought up and appreciate the insight. My point was more about his philosophy and approach, and being known as one of the...

That. F'n. Rocks. Amy Trask is one of those unheralded executives that should be talked about more. She was an amazing FO person to have, and damned good at what she did. Another thing that doesn't get a lot of talk was Al helping pave the way for women executives as much as he did for minority...

BTW, @Hankmoody -- nice thread title update! :lmao:

Right now? He lines up in a lot of different spots for Miami. I'd designate him as "utility" or "Swiss Army Knife." But he was officially drafted at the RB position for the Raiders. Second round is on me, gb.

Are you counting Bowden as the 3rd WR?  I am not looking to win an argument. Your comments are always fair, though the default expression of them is often hyperbolic.  Case in point -- not sure you can write off any of our WRs, or even say they don't look like much, when Ruggs looked decent...

I don't know why you are harping on one pick and throwing the babies out with that bathwater. It's not like Bowden is all of the sudden a super star, and I think Ruggs will be very serviceable, we saw promising things from Arnette and even Simpson, we still have to see what we have in Edwards...

The fact that they are installing protection in the nation's capitol to safeguard against things that might go awry thanks to the actions of elected representatives and their followers' actions is an incredibly sad wake-up call about where things are at in the US. ETA: As if a violent riot...

Just saw that Gus is bringing LB coach Richard Smith and DB coach Ron Milus with him. Don't know much about Smith but Milus is one of the game's best DB coaches. Absolutely huge.

Remember that Guenther was a huge blitz guy. Bottom line is that you need the talent on the field to execute any scheme. We don't have that talent. Hopefully we start fixing that ASAP. And you need a coordinator who can recognize what talent you have, and design both a scheme that optimizes...

If he was truly in favor of impeachment he'd be calling for an emergency meeting of the Senate on Wed or Thursday.

Who is? We need to make this happen in the draft and FA. I am hoping we go after guys like Ngakoue/Solomon Thomas or DTa like Robertson-Harris/Butler/Rankins -- guys who are young, proven, and can give us a push up front right when we walk in the door. Going to be an interesting offseason.

That immediately reminded me of this.

Honestly, I'd be satisfied if some of the best private logistics experts -- the Amazons, Walmarts, UPSs, etc. -- companies with proven track records of logistics and supply chains -- were to be more involved in roll out.  I have a lot of respect for the military's ability to administer...

Seconded!

Sure, the House have the votes to bring articles to the Senate, but it's the 2/3rds vote in the Senate that really counts here as they will be the trying body. 

Where has this been reported? I have to think a 2/3 vote is a huge long shot. Would love to see a breakdown of the numbers needed and who may or may not be likely to vote for it on the Republican side.  Agree -- some senators like Collins and Ernst have condemned Trump, but I can't see someone...

I think the knock on Bradley (at least from what I know from friends who are Chargers fans and reading about him) was more about making adjustments in-game, and running more of a bend/not break D with a MO of rushing 4 and playing soft zone (4-3 with Cover 3 base), which is a fairly basic base...

He was. Clinton was impeached. And Trump should be impeached (again).  There should be consequences, but you seem to be arguing, "What's done is done, let's move on and focus on how the Democrats are going to fix things." Which isn't how accountability works.

Interesting takes, thanks for posting. Not sure how McKinley is a strong sign -- we literally saw nothing from him. While true we need everyone we can at interior D-line, and should look to keep him to see what he has for us, he has to prove it first. He had a solid rookie year and second year...
