Hudson was all pro but at the end of the day we need players that want to be here. Loved Hudson as our Center, but even if he didn't leave this season, he's getting close to retirement. Probably wants to go to a SB contender ASAP. That’s what I always say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 Vic Bradley met with Morrow before free agency and told him how much he wanted him back. Morrow can play nickel linebacker, though Kwiatkoski also improved at that as last season went on. We’ll see who Bradley has come off the field on third downs, but the Raiders are expecting for Littleton to bounce back after a rough first season with the team and appear set at linebacker.

Dessie Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I like Morrow and the fact we are retaining our own, but this isn’t making us any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlenlyKenny Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Nicholas Morrow !! Yes ! Good move to re-sign one of our own linebackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbsk Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Surprised by how many are very positive in this thread, I'm sure when I was defending Morrow at the start of the season there weren't many who felt similarly. I've always liked Morrow as a smaller, faster LB who can play role. Not the best tackler or very physical but he has a role and if it's reasonable value he can be a very useful depth piece.

Your absolutely right.... I’d do a lot further: When he received a 2nd rounder, 3.26M tender there was a TON of people who wanted him to be released to save money. I always liked Morrow.... I think the reason why people objected was because they get use to a player making a low pay rate and want to continue that. They get use to the value and don’t want to pay the going rate. It’s human nature.... gas could be $3.50 for years on end and then it drops to $1.75 but eventually comes up to $3.40 and everyone is crying about how expensive it is.

I’m not his biggest fan. Too inconsistent for me. I felt like he’d a game where he looked like the best player on defense, then games where he looked awful out there.

I think they should compliment each other quite well. Hopefully we can get Littleton back to form and have at least average LB play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 4 years, they keep turning over the roster. They need to actually execute a plan. Or have a plan for that matter. And the "Gruden grinder" things needs to be shot into the sun. That's why the drafts have been terrible. Trying to get these "grinders" and reaching on players like Ferrell, Abram, even Jacobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
