On Derek Carr, raiders 2018 draft picks, young building blocks and more.

Trent Brown has to get better as a run blocker. From PFF

During that three-year window, Brown ranked seventh among qualifying right tackles by surrendering pressure on just 5.6% of his pass-blocking snaps, and he was one of just five players to log at least 1,000 pass blocking snaps at right tackle and surrender no more than seven sacks.

As a run-blocker, Brown has been hit or miss from play to play as an NFL right tackle. From 2015-2017 he ranked 11th among qualifying right tackles by earning a positively-graded run-block percentage of 10.5%, but he also ranked dead last among the same group with a negatively-graded run-block percentage of 19.0%.

Over the first four seasons of his career, Brown has proven his worth as a serviceable NFL tackle who likely has even greater value to a team like Oakland, as he’s shown the ability to handle duties on both sides of the offensive line (second-year left tackle Kolton Miller ranked 41st out of the 42 qualifying left tackles last season with a 48.2 overall grade). Whether or not he lives up to his billing though as “highest-paid right tackle in the league” will largely depend on him becoming a more consistent run-blocker while maintaining the success he saw in pass protection during his time spent at right tackle for the 49ers.

That boom/bust run blocking is likely down to technique or he had a couple guys who knew how to abuse him in the run game (maybe a problem with squatty or fast guys). It's not a stat I'm worried about - yet.
 
Trent can be an average run blocker as long as he stones pass rushers.

Does he stone pass rushers though?

I thought he's been mostly average his entire career until the playoffs last year?

Its obviously an upgrade over the 40 sacks our two losers gave up last year but I don't think we just signed Anthony Munoz.

Bengals LT Jonah Williams (shoulder) will "likely" miss the 2019 season.
Williams had shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum, but the team is expecting their first-round pick to be fully healthy in 2020. It's another injury for a team that's been riddled with them in recent years. Cordy Glenn is now expected to slide back to left tackle for this season.

That's brutal. Memories of Raiders first round pick 1999 Matt Stinchcomb...
 
Hey?, does the Q in LBGTQ stand for queerbag?

Amari on playing in Oakland: “I just felt like I was wandering aimlessly out there” #cowboyswire

First credible thing Amari has said so far....

Even going back to his Niner days I've always read he was a damn good pass blocker. I'll admit I haven't exactly watched a ton of him from then but that's what Niner fans used to say about him... heck of a pass blocker and iffy as a run blocker. He obviously turned it up a notch with the Patriots. I fully expect Cable to ruin him but ideally he still does his job protecting the passer.
 
It was overrated.

He was just 16th in TQBR.
Middle of the pack NFL starter that year.

7.0 yds per attempt.
Below average.

70 rushing yds.
lol

28 TD passes
Pretty good,but certainly very far from outstanding.

No division title.
Zero playoff wins.


That is the high water mark for David and it isn't anything to get erect over.

So you say.

7 comeback wins. With the lousy D, if Carr wasn't able to lead scoring drives at the end of a game and in OT, no way the team makes the playoffs.

A TD/Int ratio of 28:6 is damn good.

How many teams win their division when they have to win 13 games -- with the 20th ranked D?

Carr didn't play in the playoffs: third round rookie did.

Your opinion on pretty much everything is negative, and there is plenty about Carr to pick on. When 62.5% of wins are due to the QB leading a drive, it says volumes about the ability of that QB to make up for deficiencies in the D.

But there is no convincing you, and that's cool.
