2025 Las Vegas Raiders thread - ☠ Mork and Brady - wait what is this weird feeling that doesn't hurt my heart after a draft is complete? ☠ (11 Viewers)

Raiders GM Tom Telesco has praised sixth-round RB Dylan Laube’s open-field ability.


Good stuff, though Telesco was speaking in the context of Laube’s special-teams potential. Already an ancient 24 years old after a marathon FCS career, Laube can catch passes for days but will likely have to force his way onto the field via the third unit. That might disappoint some overzealous fantasy managers, but nailing down return work would presumably create eventual opportunities on offense. Behind Zamir White and Alexander Mattison, Laube is definitely in the right backfield to do some depth chart climbing.
 
I am officially convinced that AOC is the 2nd coming of Kurt Warner. So many similarities , Cant run to save his life but has a quick release and throws laser darts . It took Kurt years to be given a real shot, AOC is getting his now . What he does with it will direct his destiny .

From your lips to God's ears.

I watched a YouTube where the guy really dived into his pre-snap reads. Essentially his message was that people were being too hard on him because there is a lot of promising attributes he showed last year.

With what we should have on defense, O'Connell doesn't need to reach Kurt Warner level of HOF great QB for us to win a lot of games. If he did end up being the next Kurt then we instantly become a SB contender and can challenge and defeat the Chefs. That would be so nice to have.

I am just looking for solid improvement and progression from him this year.
 
I’d be cool with hostetler level play. Or, don’t tell Chad, Carr level play. Thinking that AOC is the next coming of a HOF qb is funny. I hope yall are right….but I’m gonna stay grounded in reality. I still expect the festival king to win the job.

Ha. I was going to say “would we be happy with a Carr level of QB a play?” but you beat me to it ;)

Nobody knew what Kurt Warner had , for years he was deemed a nobody . The style of play, they way he moves , his accuracy and his quick release . Both are very cerebral . watch Warner highlights then AOC highlights and you'll see it in the eye test . Never mind the career stats , put that aside , just watch the styles and throws .

Gawd.... did you hurt yourself doing that? Maybe that is why your knee exploded.... you had a non-negative thought about Carr!

Heck, Martz didn't want to play him when Trent went down. I got to admit, I remember thinking, "well, there goes the Rams offense this year" and then we ended up with the Greatest Show on Turf.

If that game against NO matters. I may go. Just to give Carr some love. 😂
 
The way the Eagles structured Huff's deal, I would sign up for this right now.
Hard pass with that structure, $27M dead money on a void year is no bueno. And overall $34M guaranteed for one 8 sack season is too generous for me. I'd do the 3Y/$51M with rolling guarantees but I don't want to get stuck with 7 sacks over 2 years for $34M.

Jacobs had some things to say on the Chris Long podcast. Takling about coming from Alabama and going to the championship every year then losing his first game he was upset and not talking to anyone... a vet came to him and said "This is the NFL, you are going to lose." and his response was "You guys cool with losing?"

Then talking about working hard and not seeing results then he decided 'ya'll want me to take a discount and lose? I don't know how I feel about that."

He had a rough few years with the Raiders and I don't fault him for taking more money but it sounds like he already checked out on the team. I am even happier now we held our ground on what we would pay him and him leaving.
I was never a huge Jacobs fan, he rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. I was happy the Raiders moved on from him.

I always felt the same way.

And the inability to wear a condom was never a good thing. How many kids with different women? 8? Not good.

For real.
 
One player who has been making a case to be a starter this season is second-year cornerback Jakorian Bennett. He’s been lining up with the ones all offseason and today, he showed everyone why.

One a play late in practice, he broke the ice with the first takeaway for the Raiders defense. Aidan O’Connell rolled left and threw it short where Bennett stepped in front of it and hauled it in.
 
I saw they had Jack Jones run a few routes today. Seems odd to me... I mean, we have a lot of mouths to feed and do we want him not fully focused on defense?
 
Tuesday marked the first day of mandatory minicamp for the Las Vegas Raiders.
The team moves into their last portion of the offseason program before things heat up in Training Camp next month. It was a competitive day between the offense and the defense with both sides of the ball having moments to capitalize.
Let's recap some high points from the practice.


  • The defense brought the fire during team period. Cornerbacks Brandon Facyson and Jakorian Bennett took turns making plays on the outside, including an interception by Bennett.
  • The defensive MVP for the day was Christian Wilkins. The sixth-year lineman got off the line of scrimmage at full speed every play, seemingly finding his way in the backfield constantly. "Christian running to the ball, he's a freak of nature," Nate Hobbs said. "He's 300-something pounds, first one to ball. I've never seen no one that size move like that – that flexible, that bendy. He's a pro."


  • The offense got rolling in the second half of practice. Aidan O'Connellmade a few impressive throws to the likes of Alexander Mattison, Jakobi Meyers and a would-be touchdown pass to Jalen Guyton with two defenders draped over the receiver. It was a great catch by Guyton, but O'Connell put it right where it needed to be. "Aidan has come a long way," Maxx Crosby said. "Just seeing his maturity and seeing how he's starting to talk back. ... Seeing him come back at us is awesome to see."
  • While the quarterback competition is headlined by O'Connell and Gardner Minshew II, Anthony Brown Jr. also made a few good throws down the stretch including a touchdown pass to rookie running back Dylan Laube.
  • WIth the new kickoff rules being implemented this upcoming season, the Raiders are taking a look at anybody and everybody for returner roles. Tuesday's practice was highlighted by Laube, Nate Hobbs, Jack Jones and DJ Turner.

But you remember when a bunch of fans were getting all into a frenzy about him not looking excited and how he talked to AP and Telesco etc.
 
I am fairly excited to see this defense. Lot of focus on that CB spot opposite Jones, but there are really no questions at any other spot. Even if we get below average performance there, we can have a strong D. Both safety and nickel, nailed down. Getting Deablo back. Adding Wilkins. Moehrig had a quiet really good season. He and Epps are underrated as a duo---by us, even.

10000%. I felt the same way when I watched it. I just thought “the dude is chill, reserved and not outgoing”. Love Adams saying he’s totally focused on football I hope he’s a dominant force for years to come!

I am really trying to control my excitement. The defense really came together last season. We have a legit super star DE and the rest of the team player much better after we got rid of McD. Jack Jones is, I believe, a legit corner and now he will have time in the defense. Then what really has me going is Willins. I have been begging for a DT like him. I really do think he is the piece that really sets this defense into the top tier of the league.

If Bennett and Wilson make jumps in their development.... wow. Top 3 defense is a lock in my mind.

Fantasy wise they are still ranked near the bottom , but im ok with that because i want to grab them .

I am not sure about that.... they should have a high level of sacks and an increase in INTs with even more pressure on the QB's and Jack showing us last year that he is a ball hawk. I am only in IDP leagues so it really isn't a concern for me at all.
