Welcome to the team - RB Ashton Jeanty

[PDX Raider]

I agree that in retrospect we should have addressed the OL but Spytek still had a high second which he could have used on an OL and chose to trade down and draft Bech who has been MIA along with most of our draft class. Your OL sucks and you dont even dress the two OL you drafted in the 3rd?

Detroit's o line has a second year and a rookie playing at a high level. One taken in Round 2 and one in Round 6. They were opening up lanes left and right against Baltimore. The difference? Coaching and scheme. We have neither. You look at the clips of the Raider o-line and they literally don't know who to block. I saw one clip in which we stunted Miller to the fucking right of the center. Who thought that was a good idea? How the hell is he supposed to block a DT three positions away?

Fuck this team and the morons who coach it.

 

[Madturk]

That I totally agree with, that Bech was not necessary given higher needs.

And to your point, what does that tell you that both OL in the 3rd are inactive on gameday? Parham was a 3rd round pick in 2022 and he started his rookie year.

Either Spytek knew that both players were developmental (then the 3rd round seems a little rich to draft 2 developmental players)) or he whiffed on his assessments.

Probably a little bit of both. even a 3rd rounder you would expect to compete for some playing time. Cappa was a 3rd round pick from Humbold St and he was blocking for Brady.

Agreed. Way too early. Everyone is either fitted for a gold jacket a few days into their first season or told they suck.

I wonder which way we should lean as Raider fans. Fingies crossed we can stay positive and give him time.

Cam Skattebo in round 4

Jeanty needs to run with violence and ill intent

 

[Winston Smith]

Jeanty needs to get over the Richardson line. 3.1 per carry is really really bad.

 

[Handicapper General]

Jeanty needs to get over the Richardson line. 3.1 per carry is really really bad.

Yeah, that's no Josh Jacobs.

Wait, that's exactly Josh Jacobs this year.

 

[Madturk]

You know what might help? Let Geno run the fucking ball out the RPO for a change if you insist on running out of the shot gun you twit Chip. Keep the defense honest. Every play I running behind our shit guards. Not even one toss play.

 

[boknowsvt]

Not gonna lie, I kind of wish we had drafted Skattebo.

 

[DonkeyKilla]

Most of this board blamed JJ for the off years he had.

They dumb as hell.

I blame him for the year he sat out camp, came in slow and fat (his contract year). That's why they didn't pay him. They should have extended him instead of having the holdout though.

 

[Chris_77]

Yeah, that's no Josh Jacobs.

Wait, that's exactly Josh Jacobs this year.

It was to be expected after the year he had last year.

 

[DonkeyKilla]

It was to be expected after the year he had last year.

I have him in fantasy, they have been against some tough fronts but he's running hard and looks like himself.

 

[Handicapper General]

Fitting that Jeanty wears number 2.

 

[Nobodyinparticular]

Fitting that Jeanty wears number 2.

What comes after deuce?

 

[Crow]

His top and bottom halves don't go together.

[Raid3rNati0n]

I don't know if anyone saw his post-game interview... But he specifically said he did not care about how well he did, and that it really only matters if you win.

That right there, is the type of player we need...!!!

 

[Solve4X]

His top and bottom halves don't go together.

Bears a striking resemblance to Peter Dinklage.
