RaidersAreOne Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 The #Raiders have released CB Prince Amukamara, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Arnette took his reps and tbh this is the best move for the Raiders. That means that Arnette is well ahead of schedule and they feel comfortable with moving forwarding with him starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go with your positive take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucksavage1 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I thought he was garbage anyway. But we are gonna have a young CB core. Perhaps Randall or Joyner helps out. Going against the Panthers week 1 WR core will be a test. Robby Anderson, DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel, Seth Roberts and CMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCOUGHMAN Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Thought he be kept as vet depth at least but meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 alright, Arnette has a chance to prove himself from day 1. Wonder if Nixon/Harper make the team after this move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimkelly02 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Wow.... I thought he’d have been kept for depth at least.... as he’s assumed to be better and is cheaper than Lawson. I think this is 75% Arnette already claiming the starting job and 25% Isaiah Johnson taking claim to the 3rd outside CB spot. Cuz even if Arnette was to start Prince, given his cheap price, would have value as the top outside CB backup. But if Arnette AND Johnson are playing well then Arnette isn’t needed. Hopefully both of them play well once the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I believe it has to do possibly with our 3rd and 4th CBs looking better than him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Arnette for sure gets one start and thats week 1. After that Lawson comes back and its all up in the air. Arnette need to give the coaches a reason to keep in as a starter after that. I like the youth movement in the secondary. There will be some growing pains, but there are some guys in that secondary that have high ceilings and time to see what they got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbsk Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Lawson has actually looked decent when he has played IMO, apart from having hands like feet and I feel it would be beneficial to keep one experienced vet in the group to go with Joyner. This is probably a sign that Arnette is progressing well and that of course is great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Renfrow made him look silly in a clip that the Raiders just released. I'm assuming the plan is to roll with Mullen, Arnette, Joyner, Johnson, Robertson, and Lawson/Nixon. An extremely young and inexperienced group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably a sign that Arnette is progressing well and that of course is great! Lawson is a solid veteran depth option. The Athletic said the last CB spot was a battle between Johnson/Nixon/Lawson with Nixon in the lead most of camp and Johnson coming on strong the last week or so, this was with the assumption that Prince was a lock to make the team. I think we made the decision based on: A.) We see something in both Nixon/Johnson and didn't want to risk losing one by stashing them on the practice squad. B.) Prince lost a step and we have more faith in Lawson as a veteran depth option because he's younger and has experience in the system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
