That’s as limited as it gets.

Yes. I saw him getting blocked.

He’s only missed once since the Steelers debacle.

Plus, he’s played 98% of the snaps.

If AOC doesn’t turn the ball over we win next week.
You heard it here first! If the Raiders outscore the Jets ,they win.
If the Raiders score less than the Jets, they lose.
If the Raiders score exactly the same amount of points the Jets d, they tie.

You heard it here first!!!<---- Two extra (!!) for extra emphasis.


Just kidding with you, BTW. ;)

I can't remember who it was now, but the Raiders were looking at someome from Indianapolis to become the GM before hiring Ziegler. I wanted us to get him and allow him to make the head coaching hire. But Mark insisted on a package deal, where it puts him in a bind because Ziegler would never fire McDaniels. As an owner, why even put yourself in that position? It's an awful way to run an organization. Ed Dodds. My choice when they hired Zigs.

Looks sweeter every time i read it!!

I gave up and went to pick up a few things for dinner so I missed the AOC experience. Anyone care to give me a quick grade, or overview of how he looked? Kinda hard to gauge as I’m thinking the Bears starters were mostly on the sideline. Plus, as previously noted, they were playing soft coverage, trying not to get their players injured. Like McD took care of Adams late in that 38-10 Bills beat down. :grimmace: :dazed: :disguise: :rat:

They lost to a team that was 1-5 with a third string UDFA D II QB. And I expected them to lose, but not like this. I’ve come to the realization that when you think the Raiders have hit rock bottom, they bring out the dynamite and blast a bigger hole. -- Sun Oct 22, 2023 6:20 pm -- It ain’t never going to change until the Team is sold
It’s a black cloud and has been for many many years

It’s Jets West, bad luck bad drafting bad coaching hires

Ultimately it falls on Ownership And yet the Jets look exponentially better, especially on defense.

I’m in the minority, but sign me up for Lance Kiffin part deux. Dude’s offense had over 700 yards last night vs LSU.

I fully expect Pickett to go Nick Foles on the Raiders defense Sunday night.

They signed Omar Epps over CGJ. One creates turnovers (CJG) the other a liability (Omar Epps) in coverage. So, he signs the liability guy. :-/

Oh my, so sorry for your loss. My wife & I had a pug who was our baby, as we couldn’t have kids. In 7-7-2017 we had to have her put to sleep. I still cry occasionally over her.

He was actually a late third. But his hands are suspect, plus a top-100 pick is a pick that they need to hit on. I’m not calling him a bust, but his hands are iffy at best.

It hurt!!!!!!!!

Extra “!!!!” To meet the character quota. :-)

RaiderFan1 wrote Tue Aug 15, 2023 2:09 pm:He was the one that got smoked on sunday and didn't even touch the defender that got that 1 sack.... it was pathetic

IIRC, that was Herron.

I see a 6 win ceiling and a 4 win floor.

Targeted 21 times
Gave up 14 catches for a 66.7% comp %
Gave up 2 TD when targeted
QB rating was 116.2 when he was targeted

IOW, dude can't cover, so he will feel right at home in the LB group.

Silvera ....
I put him in the same class as PJ Hall and Maurice Hurst.
Guys I got hyped for watching their highlight reels and reading the Coaches quotes that turned out to just be Coaches Speak.
Guys who never really made an impact.
Had a couple good plays. But where are the now the Browns, the XFL?

We can hope, but that's not an egg I'm counting on hatching. At least Silvera was a seventh rounder and not 2nd.

I really like Jacobs and would hate to see him not play for them, but you don’t overpay RB’s. There has to be a salary where both sides are okay with. If that can’t be met, then ship him out to the highest bidder.

Derek Carr…

The turd that won’t flush.

Project car? ‘70 Roadrunner? ‘70 Chevelle?

KC tried to screw us royal on our trade attempt to get Mayer a bit earlier than we did. Don't know if previous management teams would have bit but really glad Ziegler didn't. I’m of the belief if you trade with division rivals, you make it rougher on them. Take more compensation to trade with them, depleting their draft picks. If they want a guy, they must pay, and pay dearly.

#OldSchool

Lance Zeirlein had him in the 4th/5th range.
B/R had him at 35 overall safety 2), too high, imo
Draft network had him as second round value
PFN had fringe round 1 early day two

Omar Epps…okay his first name is Marcus but plays like Omar.

Signed a 2 year deal worth $12 M, with $10.34 M guaranteed (don’t know how much is fully guaranteed). His 2022 stats:

0 INT (fits right in with the rest of the defense)
6 PBU’s
1 FF
70 solo tackles
24 assisted tackles
10 missed tackles
52 targets
38 completions
73.1% comp %
139.1 QB rating when targeted
6 TD

And his defense generated 70 + sacks, whereas it takes the Raiders (minus Crosby) three days to get to the QB.

CJG signed a one year deal with Detroit for $6.5 M, with it being guaranteed, (don’t know how much is fully guaranteed)

CJG stats:

6 INT
8 PBU’s
0 FF
61 solo tackles
6 assisted tackles
11 missed tackles (wow, that’s quite a bit compared to Epps)
52 targets
38 completions
73.1% comp %
78.4 QB rating when targeted
3 TD

I think he was being sarcastic, but I'm not sure; kind of like "You can have this new Corvette, but first, would you consider taking these dozen or so totaled-out hoopties from Jim Bob's tow-yard instead?" I know teams need depth, and I’d never say anything to the contrary. But even these depth guys aren’t that good. Why spread the money to mediocre guys when you can have a very good (elite??) guy?

Damn, Baker would be on the field a lot if the Raiders signed him. I didn’t know he could long snap and play tight end, outside corner , middle linebacker as well as safety. He’s a one man roster!! My point is Baker is really good. These guys they signed, not so much. Spillane and Epps can’t cover a bed if they were a sheet. O. J. Howard and Austin Hooper are meh at TE. Cam Sims had a whopping 8 catches (iirc) with the Commanders. Shelley is a decent signing, but he missed 6 games in 2022.
