roi34 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Can we keep saying it's the d-coordinator? I don't think Paul is ground breaking but he needs some help in the middle and our guys are hurt in that particular area. I actually think the coverage has been better. Yesterday Jets wrs made some great contested Grabs. We've always got killed across middle because our lack of MLB presence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT is a major need. The Raiders lack any resemblance of interior pressure. And DT would go a long way to helping free up pass rushers and LBs (when they finally have them) Nothing about Hall/Hurst says they are more than just guys right now. Brown or Kinlaw could truly impact the position and Dline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown or Kinlaw could truly impact the position and Dline. Two major concessions on my part. One, DT is looking more and more like a need so I completely agree. Two, Brown is growing on me. At first I didn't think his film (never claimed to have any idea how to scout... more of an eye guy) was up to snuff, but the more I see the more I like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roi34 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Pj Hall gets best push of the DT imo. Gets held a bit. Besides that yeah. No push Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I've been disappointed with Hurst. He was touted as a top 15 pick in the draft. He's not really grown much from his rookie season. Hopefully it clicks for him next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 LBs are legit disgusting. We need to Address the position in a major way. We legit don’t have NFL talent at the LB position. Mind boggling how we haven’t addressed that spot for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) One thing about this defense that annoys me is how soft they’re. Jets don’t have a lot of talent on defense, but they play physical. They smack you around. Just don’t see that with the Raiders defense. Maybe that’s says more about PG but it’s something that needs to change. Edited November 25, 2019 by agarcia34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and it sucks cause the last 2 drafts had some pretty good rangy mlbs 🤷🏾♂️ I think the losses of kjo and Abrams are really showing how bad our lbs are. is Compton really the best lb available? that new lb from the bengals is slow also I don’t get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Raiders had some of that with Abram and Burfict and now PG is just trying to piece together a defense with scrubs like Morrow in his front 7. And honestly... for the life of me, I can't name the 3rd starting LB. So that tells me what we have. Morrow, ****head and who's #3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
