I think Eleumenor was moved because Leatherwood was a liability at RT and they wanted to save face by playing their 1st rounder. I thought Eleumenor was solid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderChef Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) We need to stop pretending Graham is playing any type of 4-3 despite all his "we will be multiple" talk. I expect our base defense will consist of a front 4 consisting of a 1T (Bilal Nichols), a 5T (Clelin Ferrell) and a 7T (Maxx Crosby) and a Rush Linebacker (Chandler Jones with Koonce and Fackrell rotating in). The second level will have two run stuffing ILB (Kiser and Perryman) to play base with a S/LB hybrid (Deablo) playing next too Perryman on passing downs. On the backend we will feature 2 Man 2 Man CB on the Outside (Rock Ya-Sin, Anthony Averett, Trayvon Mullen and Stephan Gilmore, if he signs, will compete for the two starting CBS) with Hobbs and Phillips battling it out for the NCB spot. Moehrig will obviously be one of the starting Safeties and i assume Abram will get his chance to be the other Safety but I think he struggles maybe Gillespie can take his job as the Safety number 2. With the amount of 3 Safety looks graham has used in his past makes me think Tyran Matheiu comes in as the #2 Safety and bumps Abrams as the 3rd safety on those sets. I think we have the best defense I can remember in 15 years and with a Safety, Corner and Linebacker it will be one of the best defenses in the league. On that note I REALLY hope we draft Mykael Wright, Damone Clarke, and Vernone McKinely III with our first 3 picks.

On that note I REALLY hope we draft Mykael Wright, Damone Clarke, and Vernone McKinely III with our first 3 picks. I agree with the defense but I thought Graham likes bigger defensive linemen. Last year Giants d-line was Williams, Lawrence, and Sheldon. That is close to 1,000 lbs. NIcols, Ferrel, and Crosby is 820 lbs. Crosby and Ferrel are closer to the the size of the NY OLBs and Nichols is the same size as Williams. Billings is a possibility but I would not count on him to be a starter. I think we are more likely to see a big ugly signed or drafted and bumping Crosby to OLB. We will have a hard time stopping the run otherwise.

They moved Leatherwood to RG because they felt Eleumenor was a liability. Another interesting thing is that the new coaching staff were the ones who cut him in training camp which allowed us to get them last year in the first place. That's why I think it's hard for me to get a read on how they view him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going off what the beat writers said at the time and reiterated through the season. They wanted the best combination left to right and Eleumenor was the weak link.

But even just 2 of them would be phenomenal in my book. Preferably Clark and McKinley. Clark could be a difference maker at LB and McKinley keeps Abram out of coverage. Wright would be a cherry on top, but CB is less of a concern for me right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucksavage1 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Raiders offensive line has to be a huge concern. Carr fumbles/Sack percentage has always been high. Outside Kolton Miller, everyone else is very average. Hopefully Leatherwood can develop more next season or we add a vet later Edited March 22, 2022 by bucksavage1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angleae Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 When did we resign Eluemunor? (or did we?) Both OvertheCap and the Raiders official web site have him listed as a UFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
