This should be our best draft class since 2014. And PJ Hall will be special. Worrying about his small school background is quickly becoming a non issue. He is a freak athlete that explodes off the line and can move grown men with easy. This is exactly the type of player Mack needs to elevate his game. PJ is made for Gunthers D.

I believe it was Hall that drew a double team on the Mo Hurst sack. Hall has been solid thus far, with Mack on the edge it will be deadly because Hall will beat his one-on-one 8/10 times.

While you may be jumping the gun a bit based on one preseason game I will definitely concur he was quite impressive. Looked very explosive and disruptive and seemed to dominate his one-on-one matchups. I’m hopefully optimistic without question and I would definitely agree if he can play this way consistently against starters I think Mack (whenever mgmt removes their heads from their ass and signs him) is in store for a big season if pj turns into a force.

The thing is they don't make many athletes like PJ Hall. He is a freak of nature and now we know he can play with the big boys.

The Raiders went out and drafted some athletes. That was the idea. The key is to nurture raw talent by teaching technique and developing skills that pertain to the positions played. We have several intriguing projects that could turn into great football players. And yes, I agree that Hall is a bit on the special side. I am very excited about this draft class...

PJ plays on the opposing side of the LOS. I didn’t see him get moved backwards at all today. Several plays for positive yards the back cut back but PJ was 2 yards into their backfield. Hester was not getting penetration at all. PJ and Ellis together will be a good combo to stop the run. PJ and Hurst against the pass. Although I was impressed by Hurst in the run game too.

Key didn’t impress me at all in the handful of plays he was in on. Except 1 where he split the double team but the QB got the ball off and it was that huge completion for like 50 yards where Nelson had good coverage and the receiver still made the catch. I have to go back and rewatch the other plays he was in.

This^^. This is what the Seahawks did to reach their pinnacle. Good deep scouting and lots of roster turnover combined with teaching them how to win at this level. It could happen here.

We’ve been waiting what seems like a lifetime for some talent at DT. Hopefully that wait is over Mack and this team could really use the help.

Not overhyped. Hurst and hall are men amongst boys. I didn’t even need to watch these game to tell ya that. Go key on them, no one is crowning anything. They deserve the respect they are getting but of course they better keep pushin. Do we think they won’t? These kids seem to have pretty good heads on their shoulders. And a chip to boot.

This is just preseason, last year we thought Ward was going to have a break out season. It is so refreshing to see talent on the dline. With Mack, we could have a top 12 defense.

Hurst & Hall seem to benefit from each other as finally we have a bit of rotation at DT which enable them to stay fresh for longer we can develop them better that way that will help Vanderdoes aswell, Hester hasnt impressed me i could see him laiong his spot once Vanderdoes get back from injury.

As for the edge Key had a couple of solid plays think him & Carradine might be the backups as we havent seen much of Carradine, Brown & Calhoun made some plays today but they also commited some stupid penalties.

The Al Davis way. If this is the way Gruden can do drafts then he needs his own guy in here.

Given all of the reports from camp and his performance in his first two preseason games...what is not to like? Seems to me that all Hal has done is go about his business demonstrating why he completely dominated at a small college.

No one is crowing anyone - nothing wrong with being happy about a youngster coming in working hard, and demonstrating that he belongs. Huge jump from small college to the NFL and think many of us thought he would really struggle. Well, he has surprised thus far! :beer:

Hall legitimately has one of the quickest first steps I’ve ever seen. My one concern about him and Hurst is they both get up field so fast they open big run lanes.
