Hey LawFitz, you are not helping my mood today. What a horrible move by LV. This also shows again that teams must be built mostly through the draft. There are not normally shortcuts.
That is depressing.Holy crap Chandler Jones has beyond a bad contract, which is gonna sting for a while... This ****er is guaranteed top ten Edge money for the next two years and then the Raiders can finally cut him and absorb another $7 MM in dead cap in 2024 (after taking $8 MM in dead cap this season to trade Ngakoue). YIKES!!! McZeigler with a huge whiff on this transaction. Like gigantic, transformative, multi-year roster/locker room-shaking whiff on this one. :(
Lesson: never EVER give a 32 yr old who isn't coming off some kind of father-time defying all-world stretch this kind of money beyond one year at most.
Damn it, Raiders. How many times are you going to be fooled by old dawgs looking for one last big contract to semi-retire on while wearing S&B?!?!? As if this exact thing hasn't already happened at least ten other times over the last two decades. SMDH

He is too small for what Graham wants. But at this point.... we would have much more pass rush with him than with Jones who has not provided anything. The only saving grace there is like what was said, Ya-Sin is a legit CB.it's tragic. team is still paying ngakoue too. they could have kept what they had and used the chandler jones money elsewhere. now the team is stuck paying for 2 pass rushers they get no sacks from
Yeah, if they start 0-2 in the division and 0-4 overall, it’s pretty much over. Just thinking about it is so frustrating! A couple plays made here and there on offense and or defense and they are at least 2-1.Brightside is if they win the next two games, they will be a great position to compete for the division heading into their bye. Gotta win the next two though.
Blowing the AZ game may end up being the beginning of the end of the season. Thinking positively, winning this week puts LV back into the mix in a division that is not as strong now as most of us thought it would be. KC does miss Tyreek. Chargers are already battling the injury bug which seems to be common most seasons. Wilson and the HC in Denver look lost. Maybe they figure things out sooner than later but it’s also possible that they don’t and the Broncos stink all season.Yeah, if they start 0-2 in the division and 0-4 overall, it’s pretty much over.

Who made the decision that Ngakoue was "too small?" Sounds like complete BS. Must be in the school of idiots that thought A. Donald was undersized coming out of college.He is too small for what Graham wants. But at this point.... we would have much more pass rush with him than with Jones who has not provided anything.

Ya-Sin has looked very good. The Chandler Jones signing looks bad, but that trade does not seem bad to me. Hopefully Jones starts to produce or someone else can provide even decent production off the edge opposite Maxx.I did not understand the Chandler Jones signing when it happened. I thought Ngakoue was playing well for the Raiders, especially at the end of the season. That trade is looking worse by the day.

We have cap space, go get Suh.
If we win this week, get Suh and try to make a run at the playoffs. If we lose, don’t bother with Suh and start looking at next season.We have cap space, go get Suh.
I've been calling for this for months. It's not too late. Go get him, rotate the youngins at the DE spot and watch Maxx's (and the team) sack numbers go through the roof.

I agree about Ya-Sin and having him under contract for another year next year under his rookie deal makes the Ngakoue trade fine by me.
Jones is a disaster. As a lot of us have already stated, it's time to give a huge portion of his reps to Cle (on obvious running downs), Bower (on 50/50 downs) and Koonce (on obvious passing downs). Let Jones be a part of the rotation until he earns more time. Just because his ginormous salary is guaranteed doesn't mean his playing time has to be as well. Someone or something needs to re-light the fire in that man's belly.
Love thisMy solutions to fix the offense -
1. Lean into the running game. I mean really lean into it. Heavy doses of Jacobs and the rest of them - including primary-designed passes such as screens, swings and wheels. It's time to start wearing down defenses using the FIVE HBs + full-time gladiator FB they have rostered.
2. Use more play action and roll outs to give Carr and the OL some relief against the relentless rush.
3. Throw to whichever of Adams, Waller or Hollins ends up in single coverage in the passing game. Renfrow can be the outlet, rather than a primary/secondary read. Hollins needs to be ahead of Renfrow in the order and if Waller's fire has dimmed (for whatever reasons) then make Hollins option 2. That dude's energy is burning red hot and needs to be unleashed. He was an absolute animal this last game and almost single-handedly willed the Raiders to victory. He should have been targeted with another jump ball for the late 2 pointer.
Jacobs is CRIMINALLY underrated by the general public and CRIMINALLY underutilized by his own coaching staff.My solutions to fix the offense -

Jacobs has proven himself a threat with the ball well before McDaniels came to town. Defenses are so scared of Adams, Waller and Renfrow that they are not going to put 8 in the box and if they do- TD to Adams, Waller, Renfrow or Hollins. Force the defense to over commit to stop the run then kill them. I love how LFitz broke it down to use the run to keep the pressure off of the Oline and open up the passing game. With what we have for weapons, we shouldn't need to do this but that Oline needs help in pass pro. Shuffling them around isn't going to magically fix it. Give them the help by putting the defense in the position that they have to commit to stop the run and when they do- kill them with a pass action long ball.Jacobs is CRIMINALLY underrated by the general public and CRIMINALLY underutilized by his own coaching staff.My solutions to fix the offense -

Every single time we spend a series focused on him, the results are awesome (might be exaggeration but you know what I mean).
run the effin ball. Be a truly balanced offense. Once you prove the passing game is in sync, then maybe a little bit more slinging it around the yard can be called for but, for now, in order to right the ship, freakin run the rock over and over again. Sheesh.
6-5 250, 6-5 255, 6-4 265, 6-5 260 and the runt of the group 6-2 250 vs 6-2 246. And Koonce, the runt, has had 2% of snap counts. I am not saying it is right or wrong, I am just saying Graham has a type and that type is rooted in the bigger DE's like you would have in a 3-4 and not the smaller DE's that you have in a 4-3 based system (even though no one runs 3-4 or 4-3 anymore) that is found in what Bradley's system is rooted in. Most coaches have a 'type' that they like for positions and Graham clearly leans towards bigger DE's.Who made the decision that Ngakoue was "too small?" Sounds like complete BS.

Moreau also out.Denzel Perryman, Tre’Von Moehrig, Andre James, and Nate Hobbs all returned to practice this week. Hunter Renfrow has been ruled OUT.

Not ideal but when you have Davante & Waller it makes the #3's job a lot easier.I know it's return of the Mack time, but it can't be a good thing that Renfrow is out, right?
Not good for Renfrow, thought i saw Moreau out too. Good thing we have Mack and gave him his chance to shine.I know it's return of the Mack time, but it can't be a good thing that Renfrow is out, right?
this isn’t a fantasy football thread, it’s raider thread!I know it's return of the Mack time, but it can't be a good thing that Renfrow is out, right?
this isn’t a fantasy football thread, it’s raider thread!
What a luxury to have a 3rd WR playing at this level .this isn’t a fantasy football thread, it’s raider thread!
I have to tell you, CGR, that I was indeed talkin' pure football instead of the creep of fantasy love shown Mack Hollins that had permeated the thread. That's why I posted about Renfrow. Never good to have a guy go down.
do we have a qb not named carr when you were talking thisthis isn’t a fantasy football thread, it’s raider thread!

Wayne Fontes, Jerry Glanville & June Jones sayI want to see how 4 wides and Waller look lined up with an empty backfield when Renfrow comes back
0-3 and haven't had the yearly losses yet because the league and the refs hate the raiders.... and/or the color of their uniforms....so still some of those coming.....but should win this week.....
just having some fun and talking a little smack....never personal....good luck today....0-3 and haven't had the yearly losses yet because the league and the refs hate the raiders.... and/or the color of their uniforms....so still some of those coming.....but should win this week.....
Raiders are 0-3 in 2022. Based on how you like to troll this thread, I suspect you are 0-3 in life. But you should win this week.
