Silver&Black88 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Really guys? Have we diverged so far from our ways that even @RaidersAreOne doesn't want to make this thread?? I only got to see bits and pieces of the game but heres what I noticed... Good: - Connor Cook. Looked like a different guy. Let's see if he can keep it up. - PJ Hall. The sack obviously, but damn he's strong and has a nice first step. - RBs all played well. Chris Warren might be tough to not have on the 53. - Lots and lots of WRs. Gonna be interesting to see who makes the roster there - Worley pass break up - Generally looked well coached - Eddie P Bad: - LBs don't look very good. Wilber was not good in coverage. Ugly: - Fumbled snap Hopefully people who watched more will post more details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Miller looked better than I thought he would. Here's some notes I found interesting: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daineraider Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Outside of Millers unnecessary hold that called back Marshawns TD I was pretty happy with his play. I hated the pick, but am hoping he proves me wrong(not very many of our other young picks have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The level pass rusher he will see in the division is unreal, would have been a good test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he will at least get to go against some good players. Going against Mack in practice would have been the best practice for the other guys in the division, but we don’t have that luxury right now either.

This is where Gruden’s offensive philosophy comes in to play, he’s going to run double TE and then smash the D-line until they get tired. He’ll also move the pocket and run quick routes to protect the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The DB's played well and our defense looks very disciplined. Still early, but I'm encourage by what I saw. I want to see Nick Nelson get some first team reps. Dude looked pretty solid out there, but should have caught that int. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Connor Cook looks to be developing under Gruden. good fit in the system Chris Warren looking like a steal Deandre Washington and Richard looked good, Lynch looked explosive Wideouts stepping up Bryant, Switzer, Holton, and Ateman... Roberts might not make it through camp Paul Butler with a good game Kolton looked good minus the holding on the TD PJ Hall looking like a stud Bubble players Cowser and Calhoun got sacks Whitehead and Lee looking like 2/3 of starters at LB, depth a concern Nick Nelson was out there battling Karl Joseph looked good Eddy P looking legit Coaching looks improved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 On the Warren hype, the holes were big. As of now, I'd prefer to keep Dwash over him, until I see him show out against first team guys. Unpopular opinion, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One player gets some easy exposure and fans start calling him a "steal" and penciling him in on the roster. He was given some big holes to run through untouched to the second level. What I saw was a big back, slow feet not overly explosive who runs upright. I'm glad I'm not the only one sipping the koolaid on this guy. He became aa "steal" last week running over a LB in scrimmage and running through some open lanes. Let's pump the breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Dwash man I dont know why we're eager to move on from him. 1 hour ago, big_palooka said: Thank you! This is an occurrence every year.

Remember Louis Rankin and George Atkinson lol... I wasn't going to name names, but yes. Max Vales, Breon Borders at other positions. First came the fans adding them to the 53 man roster because some team will surely sign them. Then the outrage when they were cut. Then the silence when nobody wanted them and they went to the practice squad. Preseason overreactions are my favorite time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Louis Rankin and George Atkinson Yeah but this is different with defenses getting faster smaller LB‘s for a pass coverage they are gone to be vulnerable to a big RB. CW3 has 20-30 pounds on some of theses LBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver&Black88 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Counterpoint. Richard does a lot of what Wash does. Lynch is the closest thing we have to a bruiser but he's old. CW3 is at least PS worthy. Maybe 53 if he shows he can run less upright by virtue of offering something different than Wash. Regardless, holding onto 5 RBs including a FB is no guarantee for either guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
