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 Abram, Burfict and Joseph were bringing that physicality to some extent. Now i guess Swearinger is supposed to bring that but he just got ran over by a QB!

MrOaktown_56 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Mayock isn't stupid. He's watching the games too. I guarantee we'll make significant additions at LB in the offseason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dessie Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 What’s going on with Mayowa ? Snap totals are decreasing every week it seems and wasn’t he a healthy scratch earlier in the season? Unlikely he will be back and Mauro has seen Crosby leapfrog him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly go do laundry or yard work when the defense takes the field. I'm so checked out. I'll catch the 3-4 highlights in the post game lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean reggie drafted defense for 3 straight years with like 2 good starters out of the bunch so... He also wasted like 6 picks on DL who busted...

At times he was. Don't forget the wack picks like Ward. Still got lots of love for Reggie but man he did some questionable things at times. I don't see how we get through the offseason without a big move at LB. FA, 1st rounder, trade, something. I wanna see how Marquel Lee looks for us for the rest of the year if he can play. Not sure what to make of him but maybe he could be an eventual starter as a SLB or rotate. Morrow needs to step it up big time, he has the tools. Everyone already wants Littleton so I'll also suggest Trevathan as a potential target for us in FA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I didnt like the presser Guenther did early on in his tenure where he talked about the LB situation and 'coaching guys up' seemed to imply just like the previous regime that they don't value the position and overestimate their ability to turn UDFAs and low round picks into starters. Sometimes coaches think they can work miracles with anyone and that type of ego can signal their downfall, hope that's not what we've got here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that with this excess of picks and money, Mayock and the staff will realize that it's a great idea to bring in a talented LB or two, especially considering the draft and FA pool have both. Considering how much Mayock likes Clemson and Bama, Moses and Simmons are both great draftable options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Harris holding onto L. Bell and being dragged 10 yards while holding on for dear life was embarrassing. I swear, I literally whispered to myself that J. Abram should've just played through injury. J. Abram with one arm could provide bigger, more violent hits than the two sissies we had playing safety this weekend. There wasn't an ounce of grit in Raiders uniform this weekend. Edited November 25, 2019 by Jerry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't an ounce of grit in Raiders uniform this weekend. Harris is a good coverage safety, but shouldn't be down in the box. I agree we need some "dogs". Especially at LB, who will run and chase, diagnose plays, and prevent easy completions. We also do need one more interior pass rusher. Quinnen wrecked our run game and collapsed the pocket. Derrick Brown or Kinlaw could be that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lee can be something at SLB I would target Littleton in FA and draft Kenneth Murray with one of our 1st round picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
