RaidersAreOne Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Bowman priced himself out it sounds like, so here is the vet we need in the middle for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 I like it. Pisses Chief fans off. Is a respected veteran who has immense experience. Is still good in coverage. Will be cheap and a good short-term fix. We needed a veteran (preferably Bowman but this will suffice) to show the young guys in Lee, Victor, James, etc how to be a true LB.

Broncofan Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 LOL @ the checks all the boxes take. Too funny. All kidding aside, he's still got a little juice left in the tank - but coming off multiple Achilles' injuries, you have to wonder how long he can play effectively. He's already starting to slide, when the decline phase hits, it's often not pretty. Still, the cost is probably so low, there's little risk - other than bad play, of course. The draft pick of Kolton Miller is really going to be scrutinized - because staying at 15 and going Tremaine Edmunds or LVE was the alternative most discussed. That's probably the bigger issue when it's all said & done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as that sounds, as he wasn't the old D-Johnson, even 2017 DJ would upgrade that LB corps. If it's more decline though....ugly. So little risk price-wise, I get that - but if Miller doesn't work out, and Edmunds/LVE do, man, that's going to haunt that D for at least 3+ years (Rd1 whiffs / missed opps having 3+ year ripple effects).

RaidersAreOne Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 I thought of the Cleveland QB Jersey picture when I saw this posted on another forum. Look at what we have had at MLB over the years... 2012: Rolando McClain2013: Nick Roach2014: Miles Burris2015: Curtis Lofton2016: Perry Riley2017: Navorro Bowman2018: Derrick Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Old player who's prime was nearly a decade ago. Check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The jokes are cute, but he can still cover from everything I've seen. No one is expecting prime DJ, but even an average nickel LB would be a good add for us and I'm certain he can be at least that. The Raiders have quietly built a very respectable defense.

The core of this team is young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
