I think you are right. And more to me than many of the younger fans now. All know of his legacy and lore, but less and less actually saw him play:Xramfan wrote Sun May 05, 2024 8:38 pm:It’s possible that number means much more to you than it does to many on the team today

No doubt about it. It is not a coincidence that before AP inserted AO12 we hadn't had a single 100 yard running game much less a 100+ effort.signal wrote Sun May 05, 2024 8:47 am:AO12 had many hurdles to jump in 2023 and they have been talked about but do think that we have not spoken enough about the porous run game. Yes, the run game did improve when AO12 took over, as opposing Ds were more reluctant to press given that he could actually throw the ball further than 10 yards.
Even with OC12 under center are running game was spotty. Some of those 100+ games looked good in the stat sheet but in the jets game we had all of 31 rushing yards before half and out of the 117 yards rushing in the 2nd half 40 came on one run, 15 on an end around by Deandre and 9 from a jet sweep from Tucker. It wasn't like we were walking all over them throughout the game. And out of our 157 yard effort in the W at KC 58 of those yards game on 2 runs at the end of the game. Again, although we had a pretty good run game going in that one it again wasn't like we were just mowing them over.But, that said, outside of a couple of games, the run game was below average. In the last game of the year, the Colts running attack averaged more than 2 yards a carry than the Raiders.
An improved running attack would greatly help AO12 and do think it necessary for Minshew if he is to remain the same QB he was last season.
If the OL does not do more to own the line of scrimmage in 2024 in the run game it will impact whomever is behind center and his ability to take advantage of the array of offensive weapons at his disposal.

Also he wasn’t the snake. Just snake. I would at least get his nickname right before sweating the jersey numberRunOverByHubbard wrote Sun May 05, 2024 7:41 pm:I realize that. Those guys and more. But when a QB chooses to wear the number that the Snake wore, it’s different. You better be damn ready to kick some ass. Gannon was ready. Will AOC?

I think it's the west coast, anyone?silver_ghost wrote Sun May 05, 2024 8:59 am:This seasons offense will be new to both the QBs. It will require both of them to hit the books. The decision of who gets to start will be incumbent on the coaching staffs assesment of which QB gives them the ability to implement a how much of the playbook.

Because we don't retire numbers, it should be mandatory that anyone who wants to wear a coveted number should have to watch film of former Raiders who did the number justice.RunOverByHubbard wrote Sun May 05, 2024 8:56 pm:I think you are right.

West coast comes with many wrinkles there are three versions if not more being run. Getsy came from green bay hence in all probability we will see similarity with Matt Lafleur's version however Getsy has experience with Air raid as well. Now what we will see will depend on how much of his playbook the QBs can digest and execute. In Green Bay he had Aaron Rodgers in his prime executing his offense. It was surprising to me how easily Brock Purdy grasped Shanahan's offense and executed it flawlessly. Can't wait for the training camp battles.KillerRaider30 wrote Mon May 06, 2024 4:56 am:I think it's the west coast, anyone?
I read Aidan has been at the facility all off season and I'm sure Minshew has played in it. I think like 30 teams run it so it's just the language.
For me it comes down to when the oline gets beet the QB needs to move with his head up and make a play. Runner or passing
Pryor always if you watches his head, when the pressure was on, his head would sink a bit and he'd become a runner. He never looked up. Pressure, run.
Mahomes basically sealed this years superbowl with 2 runs.
One was planned the other he took off for like 35 yards. But he keeps his head up till he can't.
Improvise adapt overcome

Video is completely unwatchable because the idiot who made the video is using a song with actual singing/rapping instead of an instrumental, so you can't understand a fucking word he's saying.apuffasmoke21 wrote Tue May 07, 2024 9:13 am:Getsy's offense fits Minshew perfectly but AC12 is a great fit and might be more talented. A good breakdown of their individual potential and the Getsy offense, from the Moorehead Spread offense to his LaFleur influence, make it clear what the potential outcomes.

Aidan is already winning.Attyla » Sun May 12, 2024 11:29 am
He won the first snap. I want him to win out if he gets the job. No more scholarship players, no more guys we carry because he is a nice guy. If he wins the job, I am cool with it, if he does not, he backs up the winner.
