Reggie is no different IMO than other GMs in this regard. Not like he's out here re-inventing the wheel on contracts. Nah man. He is incredible at it and apparently doesn't get enough recognition. We don't really have a single bad contract on our roster that screws us going down the road (Carr potentially if he repeats last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightTrainLane Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 1 hour ago, big_palooka said: This defense is going to be rebuilt in Guether's mold. Man CBs, 1 gap penetrating Dline and LBs who can run and cover. I expect this roster to look entirely different in 2018. Going to be an exciting offseason. While those things are things he has used in the past I wouldn't pigeon hole his style or scheme just yet. A lot of times guys have ideas or designs they want to implement after they move. Plus we can't discount the influence a defensive minded HC (Lewis) had on the defense and what Guenther may want to do differently with more freedom under a offensively minded HC.

Rolni Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I read or heard somewhere that PG worked only in 4-3 scheme during his hole NFL carrier...every job at every level was in 4-3. Pretty sure we will be a 4-3 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure we will be a 4-3 team. I trust history as well and his experience is definitely in the 4-3 but what I was saying is that it may not be that clear cut. He is in a new situation in many ways and will have to adjust to the players that we are able to acquire and that ones who perform the best out of those available. Along with history I trust his actual words and he said above that he will play the best scheme for the team in some many words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 One guy I really want us to target is TE Trey Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raidr4life Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 What do you guy's think about a combination of Beast mode and Dion Lewis? Then trade Washington or Richard for a late round pick. Personally I'd keep Richard because he can return punts, yes he had a few drops this year, but everybody was out of sync this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynch is due 5.6 million. He's 31 and he is a distraction. Can't wait for him to be shown the door. If he's on the team, it's a mistake. You can replace that production. Raiders did fine with Murray in '16 and proved with Carr on, RBs can plug and play. I do like Lewis. But too similar to what they have in Wash/Richard.

I'd want him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver&Black88 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Pass blocking is so underrated. Plus the guy runs tough and still has some wiggle. Always keeps his legs churning. Only thing is his personality, or rather the rumors about his personality. We can't know what goes on in the locker room, obvi. The thing about Wash/Richard is neither is reliable. Not sure I'd go out of my way to look to replace them but in the right scenario, I wouldn't mind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like that you can't rely on. His signing had a negative impact in the locker room. Keeping him around just makes no sense. More so at this current price tag.

big_palooka Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 FA I'd like to see interest in: RB - Hyde - Never had a great line or QB in SF. Has potential to be a FA steal in the right spot. OT - Flemming - 25, held up well for the Pats filling in for Cannon. Best football appears in front of him DE/OLB - Ford - down year w/ injury. Before hand he was looking like a breakout player. Worth a shot to see if he can rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakdb36 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 RB - Darkwa WR - Lee, Matthews DE - Carradine (Vinny Curry if he's cut) NT - Beau Allen LB - Bradham, Whitehead CB - Colvin, Robinson (Carrie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver&Black88 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Rumors going around Carrie wants to test FA. Smart. Guys a 7th rounder who could get lucky and sign a nice contract. Might as well cash out while you can. Especially since he's been on a 7th round contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
