BobbyPhil1781 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 11 minutes ago, NYRaider said: Yeah the Raiders have drafted a CB early 3 times in recent draft history and they've all been terrible. In the old days when people ran power I they were insanely more valuable but now with 4 WRs on the field a lot of the time, one guy covers 25% of the available WRs. Plus their job is really determined on how well people can get to the QB. If the line can't get the QB, it's so much harder. I dunno, there's other reasons too lol. Don't sleep on Arnette just yet. I went from hating seeing that dude on the field as a junior to absolutely loving him as a senior. He can still turn it around if he can stay healthy. He has a good preseason from what I saw as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo is legitimately a modern day Chris Webber. Sounds like another massive disappointment come tourney time. Much like Zion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still hard because you have some major programs beating up on absolute trash cans and other major programs playing each other. I think if they did that most programs would just schedule super weak teams to start the first month of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Chryst got a top 10 win for beating a Michigan State team that eventually finished 3-9 FFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a good preseason from what I saw as well Agreed, scheme and pass rush play such a critical role in how well a CB plays. You can be the greatest CB ever but get burnt if your DL can't generate consistent pressure. Things aren't looking great for Arnette, I believe he had 2-3 concussions last season and led the league in missed tackles despite missing 6-7 games. I hope he can be a player for us but based on last season it's hard to have any confidence in him, he genuinely looked lost out there most of the time. And in a recent interview he said he doesn't even remember playing last season, likely due to the concussions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing, because you wouldn't be posting here anymore. Smart call. I'll sack up and make that bet myself. If Duke wins the Natty this year, I'll never post here again.
