Yes and no. Every time they change the coaching staff all the developing makes a turn and slows down. Not to mention the new staff usually flips 60% of the roster so...6-10RickRyb wrote Tue Apr 30, 2024 8:14 pm:Let's face it. A lot of The Raiders were under developed having McDaniels as their coach

Lol he is not Adams replacement. Davante Adams is a top 7 WR in the league. Michael Gallup is a WR4.crowbar wrote Wed May 01, 2024 4:14 am:Maybe they signed him to replace Adams if he cost too much.

He was an elite number 3 that looked like he could be a number 2. Struggled and hasn’t looked the same after an ACL.BigJerk wrote Tue Apr 30, 2024 4:17 pm:Eh.

If I had to choose one aspect of the offense that’s gonna step back, it’s the run game if I’m being honest.WolfRaider » Wed May 01, 2024 4:44 am
I didn’t think we ran the ball that well last year until White started playing more. Jacobs struggled massively. Going to be interesting to see how we run it with mainly power RBs, but most of our line suit zone more and Getsy and O-line coach both have zone backgrounds too. A lot of uncertainty and without a good run game we could be finished before the season starts.NoClapsPlease wrote Wed May 01, 2024 4:39 am:If I had to choose one aspect of the offense that’s gonna step back, it’s the run game if I’m being honest.

The Raiders were tied for fourth last in yards per carry, were third last in yards from scrimmage, and tied for 4th last in run for first downs percentage in 2023. You might be right, and the run game might get worse, but damn, how much worse can it get?NoClapsPlease wrote Wed May 01, 2024 4:39 am:If I had to choose one aspect of the offense that’s gonna step back, it’s the run game if I’m being honest.

Honestly, even before the draft, Masterson probably wouldn't be starting. Diablo and Spillane would be.BoKnows81 wrote Tue Apr 30, 2024 6:43 am:Did you miss the draft? We drafted 2 corners, a safety and a LB. Eichenberg is better than Masterson already. We can get D line depth in free agency.
BoKnows81 » Wed May 01, 2024 7:10 am
I wouldn't mind if it was Eichenberg and Spillane in on 1st & 2nd downs with Diablo coming in on 3rd downs honestly.Ismail86 wrote Wed May 01, 2024 6:55 am:Honestly, even before the draft, Masterson probably wouldn't be starting. Diablo and Spillane would be.
As for DT, I whole heartedly disagree with the original post as the last thing this team has done is "neglected" the position. They just haven't hit on the picks. BTW, keep an eye on Noah Shannon. We signed him out of Iowa. He was suspended his whole senior year due to gambling (lol). Dude has some ridiculous skills.

The scary part is the Raiders can be improved, this season & still have a worse record...KillerRaider30 wrote Tue Apr 30, 2024 8:17 pm:Yes and no.

That is a legit concern. I am not completely sold on White as dude only had a few good games at the end of last season (and did nothing before that). Hopefully he is this years Koonce (player that takes a big step forward).NoClapsPlease wrote Wed May 01, 2024 4:39 am:If I had to choose one aspect of the offense that’s gonna step back, it’s the run game if I’m being honest.

I don't remember Trevor Lawerence going anywhere last year. He played the whole season and was meh. I also see nothing to say that this year will be better. Same with Herbert. They aren't getting him back, they had him all year. They were still terrible. I have a hard time believing Herbert will have a better year with all of the weapons that have left or the Chargers really improving that much from the team we put an epic beatdown on the last time we played. Not a big fan of Richardson. Skeptical about how Rodgers bounces back. I think we are better than all of those teams other than the Bengals.Fade2SilverAndBlack wrote Wed May 01, 2024 10:25 am:The scary part is the Raiders can be improved, this season & still have a worse record...
Just look at some of the teams that didn't make the playoffs. The Bengals, Jets, Indy, Jacksonville and Chargers (with Harbaugh) all get their starting QBs back...
Right now, I think the Raiders are better than last season but I'm looking at 8-9, 9-8 purgatory..
Minshew needs to turn into Gannon V2.0. Next seasons draft won't have nearly the number of good QBs. I don't want 50M Dak Prescott....
About Gallup. Still hoping Tre Tucker is the 3 and get more playing time....

How about some Gallup highlights? Glad you asked.
