It's not a great sign when our sack production fell off a cliff with a new defensive line coach considering we had a ton of young guys who were supposed to take a leap this year.

RaidersAreOne Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Bradley doesn't really impress me much. Isn't he living off the Seattle success still? I remember Charger fans (all 5 of them) hoping to move on from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So from 88 to 90 with Rod who was hyped as an elite coach with more talent as we signed guys like Nassib/Collins and the same young talent who you would've hoped improved under his coaching in guys like Crosby/Ferrell/Key/Hurst.

agarcia34 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Gus has shown to be able to successfully scheme against KC. The chargers and that defense put out the original blueprint on how to play the KC chiefs.The issue with bringing in him is that his scheme heavily requires on the front 4. That is an issue with the Raiders, but that is a issue that any DC they bring in will have to deal with and upgrade. Bradley gets hired Im positive it would mean Ingram would be heavily sough after in FA along with another first round DE. The DC they bring in will be dealing with massive talent issues, but its up to Mayock and Gruden to give the DC the ability to pick guys that he wants and also be willing to spend on those guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw Leonard Williams a huge deal in free agency and take Azeez Ojulari in the 1st and we'll be on our way to having a respectable defensive line.

You have to factor in Benson had 7 sacks. They had no replacement for that production. Also Crosby was put into a bigger role because of it which was also a problem.
