"How we block the perimeter is how we're going to get open in the pass
game. We're going to be tough, we're going to be intense, and we're going to have an edge about us, and those are going to be the guys who are going to get off the bus for us on Sundays."

Raiders wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni on building culture in the wide receiver room.

Q picked Hemingway as a break out candidate. Interesting choice. Love his RAS (9.46 doing all drills). Steelers Depot also said before the draft that there were few better interior pass rushers than Hemingway. The knock on him was holding up against the run. As a rookie, Hemingway had 4 sacks, 4 hits and 10 pressures on 110 pass rush snaps.

Would be nice for this defense if Hemingway and Pegues could be decent.

Why Q is high on Hemingway after his rookie season

‘25 DT R1-R4 (pass snaps): sacks, hits, pressures
  • 1.5 Graham (424): 0.5, 9, 28
  • 1.13 Grant (318): 2, 7, 19
  • 1.16 Nolen (94): 2, 7, 12
  • 1.21 Harmon (266): 3, 9, 20
  • 1.28 Williams (214): 1, 7, 12
  • 2.9 Sanders (154): 1, 4, 8
  • 2.11 Collins (278): 1, 6, 10
  • 2.30 Turner (34): 0, 0, 0
  • 2.31 Norman-Lott (46): 1, 1, 3
  • 3.1 Alexander (237): 3.5, 6, 15
  • 3.7 Broughton (14): 0, 0, 0
  • 3.22 Caldwell (237): 0, 5, 8
  • 4.7 Walker (215): 1, 13, 19
  • 4.9 Robinson (39): 0, 3, 4
  • 4.11 West (157): 1, 6, 9
  • 4.33 Hemingway (110): 4, 4, 10
  • 4.35 Farmer (116): 0, 2, 6
SpyGuy “reached” for a traits (RAS 9.46) interior pass rusher late in the 4th. And Hemingway (Arif 7.218) delivered. Zierlein had Hemingway DT28 but a R3-R4 projection on him.

Most sacks, highest sack rate, and highest pressure rate (of drafted iDL) ain’t half bad for a late fourth rounder…

Rams Kobie Turner (6’2”/294 lbs, 31.375” arms) is the same height but 10 lbs bigger and has the same elite agility as Hemingway (but not the hops, speed or long 33” arms). I assume Hemingway has added strength if not size this offseason.

Turner had 9 sacks and 37 pressures as a rookie on 448 pass snaps. He has continued to produce at that clip with 7 sacks and 47 pressures on 448 pass snaps last year. I’m on the Hemingway train.

On January 4, 2026, Buechele made his NFL debut against the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 7 out of his 14 pass attempts for 88 yards. He was released the next day.

There were fans celebrating that win like it meant something. Thank God, Dallas pulled its starters.
