So, first, as to social distancing, wonder if Gruden or the Raiders are going to shut that shit down?

Second, who has a bigger chip on their shoulder? Arnette or Robertson? Love that confidence and competitiveness!

Third, bring is Dawg!

A bunch of our DBs are now alpha personalities with a chip on their shoulder which is important.

Abram, Robertson and Arnette all have a swagger.

Amik made PFF’s all steals draft class.

PICK 139 — CB AMIK ROBERTSON, LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
PFF Big Board rank: 75

If we had to pick who the biggest “Gruden Grinder” was in this class, Amik Robertson would certainly be up there. He’s incredibly feisty and plays like he’s a lot bigger than his 5-foot-9 stature. Robertson posted the highest grade of any cornerback over the past two years, and the ball production he had at his size is almost unbelievable. There wasn’t a higher-graded cornerback on contested balls than Robertson the past two seasons — he allowed only nine catches on 38 targets with 24 forced incompletions. He might be a slot-only player because of that size, but his physicality, instincts and short-area quickness are what you want in your secondary.
 
Man just wants an opportunity; he says he’ll take care of the rest—working.

The Ringer's underrated draft picks...

Raiders: CB Amik Robertson, Louisiana Tech (fourth round, 139th overall)
Robertson will fit in with the new-look Raiders defense perfectly. Picture a miniature, souped-up version of the team’s first-round safety from last year, Johnathan Abram, and you get the former Louisiana Tech star. Robertson combines natural ball-hawking instincts and the type of back-down-from-nobody intensity that will make it difficult for Jon Gruden and GM Mike Mayock to keep him off the field. Robertson fell down draft boards in part because of his diminutive size―he checks in at just 5-foot-8 and 187 pounds―but teams reportedly had concerns about groin and hip-flexor injuries that nagged at him last season and forced him to miss combine testing.

Robertson checked in at no. 70 on my final top 100: He’s a tough-as-nails brawler who loves to jam opponents and play an aggravating style of coverage.

After playing primarily on the outside in college, Robertson projects as a slot player in the pros. As Mayock said after the draft, “He’s got the physical competitiveness and toughness that you would love as a nickel in the NFL.” He’ll have to adapt to that new role, but the fact that Robertson was dominant in man-to-man single coverage last year (surrendering a 19.8 passer rating on 40 targets in 2019 while giving up just 13 receptions and finishing first in Pro Football Focus’s coverage grade among all corners in those situations) certainly bodes well for that role. Las Vegas’s depth chart is a bit fluid at the moment. Lamarcus Joyner operated in the slot for the Raiders last year, but he could move back to his normal free safety role and give Robertson a chance to compete for early snaps.

Joyner, Randall, Robertson . . . may the best two win . . . if Joyner’s not traded.
 
Man this amik kids is gonna be somebody in the Silver N Black ... Well I like our depth any way I don't car who the starters all I know is we have Abram, Randall, Joyner, Harris, Amik, and Arnette, and Mullen not to bad... Love our Backers finally, and our D-Line will be much better with Cle's second year Crosby will be doubled all year and will open things up for all of them. THE DEFENSE as a WHOLE is going to be much better.... if not which I doubt fire Gunther's ass promote RM
