2025 Las Vegas Raiders thread - ☠ Matadors on the O-line ☠ (10 Viewers)

[LawFitz]

If the Raiders trade Maxx Crosby this season, I am switching allegiances to that team until he retires. ****ing hell, Raiders.

Check out Brennan Carroll …weird

Check out Brennan Carroll …weird

Eye closers while talking are always odd. His is extra creepy

His pupils are super dilated. Seems like he is on something. Coach Beard quickly becoming the farce of the Pete Carroll era.

My immediate thought was that he was on something. There could be some medical condition that would cause that but I don't know what. Also, if on drugs, you never know if it is a prescription or off the street type. I try not to judge people on things like that as you really don't know what is going on.

What I can judge is that the Oline is playing like crap and I still can't figure out why JPJ is in the doghouse. We have seen him play before at high levels.

There has been something strange going on with the organization since Pete and gang were hired. JPJ is just a small part. A lot of good players were cast aside and replaced with junk.

Perhaps is similar to Gruden. Decent coach, but terrible scout./evaluator.

 

[LawFitz]

^^^ None of that excuses the blatent nepotism. For that alone, I want Pete out ASAP if he doesn't make corrections during the bye.

If he spent half as much time on coaching OL schemes as he does cultivating his creepy neighbor beard, he'd still suck as an OL coach.

 

[Chadstroma]

RIP Carol Davis.

 

[Chaka]

RIP Carol Davis.

And, in her honor the Raiders managed to not lose today.

 

[LawFitz]

RIP Carol Davis.

Will be curious to see now the estate tax ramifications and if they were able to shield Mark well enough to keep the team.

 

[Sarlakticacid]

Bummer

 

[Sarlakticacid]

Just signed Tyler Lockett

 

[kaso]

Maybe Lockett well get a chance to fix the OL or play QB?

Typical dumb Raiders move. The season should be used to get young guys experience.

 

[Chaka]

Precursor to Jakobi trade?

 

[DocHolliday]

Precursor to Jakobi trade?

Hopefully. LV needs to sell every player they can even if Jacobi is a good WR2. This team is at least two years away from competing and that is if they draft a very good QB in the draft and find a competent coaching staff.

 

[Sarlakticacid]

Maybe Lockett well get a chance to fix the OL or play QB?

Has he worked with Carol Jr.? Will he whip him back into shape? I’d be all in in just giving him a whipping

 

[LawFitz]

Maybe Lockett well get a chance to fix the OL or play QB?

Does he have an overly well groomed hillbilly beard?

 

[drummer]

All I can say on the thread title is:

I feel ya bro's.

Season's gone, we need to get young guys on the field. I love this article (and am beginning to hate Pete Carroll if this keeps playing out) - why isn't Decamerion Richardson playing? He got a lot of snaps last year and looked like he was improving but zero now? With Pete's boy Ky Blu getting torched? And what about Porter? I didn't like the pick, but that money's spent so let's get him on the field and learn. Caleb Jones and Charles Grant were 3rd round OL and our OL sucks, put the rooks out there and see what happens.

Raiders completely lost the plot with this promising young defender

The Las Vegas Raiders have completely lost the plot with cornerback Decamerion Richardson, who has played 0 defensive snaps during the 2025 NFL season.

Agreed. Get the youth on the field to see what we have.

I posted upthread last week or so how pathetically underutilized this rookie class has been. Old man Pete and his Son Beard just keep giving me more and more reasons to want them out.

 

[Chaka]

They can't keep turning over staff year-after-year.

 

[Hankmoody]

They can't keep turning over staff year-after-year.

I agree. My only concern with Pete atm is his "my guy" history. Bringing in his sons as assistants (and awful results from their units), getting a bunch of SEA retreads (our awful LT Forsyte, Ky Blu, Lockett, Geno), a few other assistants. Those actions themselves are fine, I get you know and trust those guys and that's always where you're gonna start, but if he's not willing to pull the trigger and make changes when it's obvious they aren't the answer that's when you get into incompetence.

I've also softened my stance on this a little bit because, as it turns out, money really does talk. There are only 32 of these jobs in the entire world, they pay like gangbusters, and only 4-8 come open any given year. We were right in it for Ben Johnson last year, and I never expected a guy like Carroll to come here of all places when I'm guessing he could have had other options as well. Guys like Joe Brady, Todd Monken, I wouldn't expect them to pass on a $5M a year job opportunity if it comes knocking.

But yes, at some point we have to have coaching and scheme consistency so our players can start mastering playbooks and we quit jettisoning quality players just because they aren't "coach's guy".

Then Davis needs to make a good hire. Pete needs to go. The season has been an absolute failure.

To be fair, Patrick Graham has been their DC for four seasons and, they don't look any better than year one.

That's the mentality that ends up missing out on guys like Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes.

 

[Chaka]

I am on record as being against the Carroll hire but, even I recognize you have to give systems and staffs a minute to work.

 

[Snotbubbles]

Can't make chicken salad out of chicken ****. Draft better.
