2025 Las Vegas Raiders thread - ☠ Bye bye (again) Amari. Maybe we get a comp pick for him? ☠ (62 Viewers)

O line was rough. Smith made some bad decisions but played mostly well. What’s up with bowers?

And hopefully the dolts partied in Brazil. Flew home dehydrated. And will be sluggish.

calling it a knee injury, and it looked like non contact type

Brock Bowers says knee feels fine, “we’ll see” on Week 2​

Wow. this feels different.


And amazing!

Nice, hard fought win.

Loved how they were slinging it around to a half dozen different guys. Passing game looks exciting.

Michael Mayer would start on a number of teams. Dude has turned the corner after last years issues.

To expand on comments from the Jeanty thread: is it just me and @RaidersAreOne , or did the Raiders thoroughly out coach an opponent? Particularly in the second half.

I know it's just week one and we shouldn't read too much into it but, still it's a great feeling to see the team not simply try to out muscle opponents.

Also, FACT: Tyree is on pace for 17 sacks.

That's maths.

So nice to see Tyree's preseason success roll over. Koonce had that beautiful strip sack too.

It's a shame Wilkins didn't work out because adding an interior rush would be huge for his D. I hope Tonka or JJ pan out (Both really impressed me in preseason).

Bummer for sure but four sacks from four different DL is great to see. At least for one week it wasn't just the Maxx Crosby show.

I'm really happy Graham has stuck since McDaniels first year. I don't pretend to understand the nuance of it but I believe he runs a complicated system and I hope that continuity pays off.

I liked how the announcers were talking up the stats from the Crosby/Koonce combo from 2 years ago. If Tyree can step up, and the rest are just a solid rotation, we have the makings.

I admit I fast forwarded through chunks of the game (already knew the final score when I was helping out my in laws today) but I thought I saw some plays from our DBs as well. Can anyone give an assessment of their play today?

 

[Chaka]

I swear I'm not trying to write Tyree's HoF induction speech just yet but, yesterday was a promising start.

He played 38 snaps (54%), fwiw Koonce played 32, had 3 combined tackles, 2 solo, 1 sack, 1 TFL and 2 QB hits all team leading (or tied) among the DL. It would be amazing if this kid could become a strong player for the Raiders, even as a rotational guy.

In other defensive news Devin White sure came to play yesterday. Played 100% of the defensive snaps and tallied 8 solo tackles, 11 combined and 1 TFL. Again, if some of these guys we were unsure of, show up to play every week, this unit will surprise people.

Also, who in the world is Kyu Blu Kelly and why does he look like Terry McDaniel out there on the corner? And, not just because of the number. Anyone know how to break down defensive tape? Were the Pats targeting him as a liability or did he just have a great game? Played 100% of the defensive snaps and it seemed like every time I looked up #36 was sticking his nose into the play. Drafted by Baltimore in the 5th in 2023 he didn't even make it out of TC with them, he ended up with Seattle, GB and Was and played a total of 18 defensive snaps that season. Raiders picked him up in 2024 and he didn't do much, 4 games, 14 defensive snaps. Now he's a starting corner playing the full game.

Did he have injuries and that's why he couldn't stick? Can he maintain this level of play?
