Give him some rest, but I also think it could be effecting him in getting into a grove. Booker is only averaging like 3-4 carries per game. And Jacobs is currently leading the league in touches and on pace for like 400 touches on the year which we've only seen from a handful of players in the last decade. Jacobs inability to get into a groove has been due to our poor run blocking, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we have Trent back, but I think Incognito will get the run game going with his attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have another double digit sack season for us. It's sad that Nevin Lawson is currently 2nd in sacks for us this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxx Crosby was a great pick up and he reminds me a lot of Jared Allen not sure he'll get to that level but I can see him being a solid double digit sack guy. Also how has Carl Nassib been? He was a decent rotational guy for Bucs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the plus side our DL will have more interceptions than Lawson 😁😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a decent rotational guy for Bucs Nassib has been very quiet sadly. I liked him a lot as a FA addition (albeit overpaid) but against the Chiefs he did have a couple of early pressures and looked very lively before injuring his foot. Not sure the prognosis on the injury though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 File this under ugly: Raiders getting a ton of hype now. When have the Raiders ever shown well when they start getting hyped? The bulletin board material being afforded KC for the next game is getting pretty heavy. I'm optimistic, but cautious. Every time this team starts to turn the corner, they seem to get smacked back to reality. Maybe I'm conditioned from decades of losing football, but this never seems to work out for them. Was just a week ago everyone wanted to fire the DC lol. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble_Beast Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Anyone think Andre James could be a good guard. He always been solid at center, and was a former LT who was highly regarded. Wonder if he could be better than Gabe Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we have Good, Simpson and Cotton also so probably Good and Simpson get first shot and Good looked ok but not great. Pretty good guards can usually be drafted around the 3rd round or so as its not a glamour position. I haven't really seen enough of James......

We played well in the 2nd half for sure but we still gave up 32 points and over 400 yards in the game. Our winning isn't sustainable if we continue to give up 30+ points every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good's okay as a depth option but I don't love him as a starter. Our OL should be our biggest strength if we want our identity to be a smash mouth football team and we've seen a noticeable decline in our OL play without Brown and Incognito. If Incognito retires and we cut Jackson I hope that we look to add two new starting guards in the offseason, throw a big deal at Joe Thuney or Brandon Scherff and then draft someone like Trey Smith or Wyatt Davis in the 2nd round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the prognosis on the injury though. Agreed he looked good early against the Chiefs. He was on an injury report earlier in the year with an illness so maybe that was holding him back. Shame the toe injury is gonna see him miss some time now. Edited October 14, 2020 by Dessie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
