agarcia34 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Gruden made the correct move. Washington looked really good in his time and deserved the roster spot. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Raider Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Staying young. Opposite of last year. It’s sad when they show the cuts on hard knocks but it’s necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OG_C2X Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I agree. Good call by Grudock. Washington has played his way onto the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 I too like this decision. Washington has played very well this PS and deserved the nod over Martin. I like the Jacobs/Richard/Washington trio with hopefully Ingold at FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 What the Raiders do at DT gonna be the most interesting cuts of all the positions. Josh Mauro seems to be a player that is skating by without doing anything. Maybe Westbrook’s can play that DE spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Mauro is a big strong base DE, who is stout against the run and if really needed can move inside in nickel, dime packages a bit. Ethan Westbrook is a small DT/UT, who is soft against the run and can offer a bit as a pass rusher, however he played with Aaron Donald and Brockers for his hole carrier and also with Suh last year, so his sack number is inflated for sure. He is really just a depth, TC guy IMO. Corey Liguet has a lot better chance to make the 53, while Mauro seems like a lock as run stopping DE. He might end up being our starter accross Ferrell or just a rotational guy if Key can win the staff over, but anyway I expect to see lots of Mauro against the run and no Westbrook on the 53 at all.

agarcia34 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Wonder if the Raiders stash Vanderdose on the IR again. They could do the same with I.Johnson but I hope that doesn’t happen. I would like to see him get on the field during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Westbrook’s can play that DE spot. He's Buckner's guy and fits Gunther's system. Will be interesting to see what happens with the DTs. Hurst and Hankins seem to be the only two locks with Hall/Westbrooks/Ellis/Rush/Liuget battling for the last 3 spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I see it DT Starters: Hankins, Hurst(hope he takes the next step) Backups: Hall, Luiget(1 year vet could help mentor youth, stout against the run but actually can rush the passer unlike Jelly) 5th: Rush- developmental NT. Could push Hall for PT if he keeps underperforming. if coaches really like Westbrooks they could slide him to DE DE Starters: Mauro, Ferrell DE Backups: Key(pass rush specialist), Mayowa or Westbrook for the last backup spot. Mayowa shouldn't be a lock. I would Pup Max, keep both vets Westbrook and Mayowa, we need all the help we can get at the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Calling it now. Gruden keeps Peterman and cuts Glennon and I wouldn’t be mad about it. Peterman has grown on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
