RaidersAreOne Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Consider "important" as how detrimental it would be to our overall success if we lost them due to injury. Feel free to also mention names I should add to the pole next round. Voted list so far: Derek Carr - 100% (Link) Khalil Mack - 100% (Link) Rodney Hudson - 38.1% (Link) Keleche Osemele - 50% (Link) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 I have gone Penn the last few times and that won't be changing here. Maybe people will vote for him now that they aren't extremely sour about his holdout. Penn is a great all-around player at a very important position. Without Penn, the likelihood of Carr and co. getting killed back there goes up tremendously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasRaider Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I would have to go Coop here. I think we would be ok with lee smith helping who ever our LT would be without Penn. Cooper opens up the whole offense. He takes double, sometimes triple coverage which results in Crab getting one on one matchups and Seth Roberts being mismatched on someone.

Silver&Black88 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Went Penn. Cooper and Irvin both had me thinking though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Cooper...hope we don't find out he's higher than we thought. We were fine without Penn but will be better with him. Irvin is a good complement to Mack but I doubt the d gets worse if he's not there. Our D IS Mack... Would love Conley, Joseph or Obi to to ball and make a case but until mid-season we won't know.

Frankie2Gunz Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Had to go Penn. If he is out and Carr loses his Pro Bowl, blind side protector, that would be the most catastrophic loss of any player left to choose from. If this is Penn's last year in the silver and black we need to find a young, lock down stud to replace him during the offseason. I hope RM has a plan in place. I think having the best interior Oline in the NFL makes it easier on the tackles and they appear better than they actually are bc the inside is so dominant.

Cooper and Irvin both had me thinking though I really don't think people realize how huge it would be if we lost B. Irvin. The guy is the only other legitimate pass rush threat on our team after K. Mack. If we lose B. Irvin then it'll be even easier for teams to put 2-3 players on K. Mack every single play. B. Irvin is the only player that can even remotely keep them from stacking 3 players on K. Mack every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
