Throw away all the bad images you have of Abram, our defense playcalling was horrid and lacked a puss rush. I say a position switch to add more speed to the defense. MLB has a bigger impact then SS. Abram is a freak of nature who could thrive playing LB. Listed at 230 everywhere and easily can see that looking at him. He's also taller with better length. Play calling has nothing to do with Abrams lack of ball skills and instincts that were issues in college. Second.... where are you getting he's a "freak of nature"? That simply isn't true. He'd be washed out as a MLB. He can't stack and shed blocks.... he'd be dominated, You want a comparison, it's Mark Barron and even he was 5x the player in college and pro Abram is. And why are you saying haters will be eating crow and in then saying he needs a position switch? Which is it? The stuff you come up with..... make my brain hurt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Leonard does play at 215 pounds. I wouldn’t move Abram to LB especially with Bradley at DC. Bradley will play to Abram strengths and we seen that happen with players in his past. For Abram sake I hope they’re able to have OTAs this year cause idk if he can make the necessary adjustments needed without that practice time.

Darbsk Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 21 hours ago, Humble_Beast said: What about this wild idea: Moving Abram to MLB - Darius Leonard plays MLB at 6’1 215 - Abram is a stud against the run, and plays his best ball near the line - Kwit could slide to a 2 down SLB role, he’s good against the run and can blitz. Could serve as backup MLB too - Abram would be a speed demon at MLB, protect him on a new DL -Abram could be everydown Alpha leader in the middle. Littleton and Abram combo would give us so much speed at LB spot.... - speed, speed in our back 7. Adding Abram to LB unit and 2 new safeties would give us an attacking unit. Balance it out with a DL that beats you up.... Ummm, well........ For one he would probably have the green dot at MLB so would have to communicate play calls, read the offense, make adjustments and be calm and make good decisions. Not really his forte 😁. Coverage isn't only about speed (see Raider corner backs of the late Al Davis era) and Kwiatkoski has been just fine there. He cant even pronounce 'salmon' correctly so heck knows what he'll be calling out and communicating if he has to make adjustments 😁😁 Like the optimism but clearly his best role is as a poor man's Jamal Adams.

This is one reason why I like going after Maye at FS. He complimented Adams and if Abram goes down you can move him to SS. This is a decent year to need a FS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just let you know.... all 52 players on the Raiders roster and coaching staff would rather have Watson in a Raiders uniform that Carr. It's not even a secret.

Humble_Beast Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Watson and DC are in the same tier. Put DC with Hopkins, Fuller and a decent defense... Texans have been stacked and how much noise have they be making. You are acting like Watson is worlds better which isn’t the case.... Always with over the top responses....

Watson is top 5 Case in point.... people talking trade scenarios for Watson that include 3 first round picks and players. Nobody would trade more than a 2nd for Carr. You're such a homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that matter? I'd build around Watson before I'd build around Carr. Is that not what we are talking about here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
