I didnāt realise this guy was such a ācontroversialā figure here š Thereās so many writers, bloggers etc that I lose track of whoās who. My mistake, I thought you were posting it for info but you were mocking him. To be fair, the Ngata comparison (either pkay style or results) is absurd! Perhaps I was giving him too much credit as itās the first time Iāve listened to him speak, though I have seen some of his written work and havenāt been too impressed! Also, for some reason with the name Hondo I was kind of expecting a Japanese looking guy for some reason š Lolā¦ yeah itās not like beat reporters are high profile so itās very easy to mix them up. Ā I only know about him cuz his videos popped up a lot on my feed so I subscribed to see what it was all about. yeah, I was mocking the absurdity of the Ngata comparison and saying Aiden OāConnell was the #1 pocket passer by 2 teams he spoke to and was a 1st round prospect if he left last yearā¦ and itās everyone elseās fault but his his stock fell this year. The absurdity of it all is ridiculous but heās really a inconsequential figure in the Raider news space. Ā I only mention him because thereās a certain poster here who thinks he walks on water.

See a lot of quickness in his game that will be a big addition to this DL. Highly optimistic on YoungĀ I agree with you and starting to feel the same way. Ā Although, my issue was never the player it was the pick we used. Ā If he was selected at the top of round 4 Iād have liked the pick from the minute it was made. I will say our fan base is NOTORIOUS for talking ourselves into hating our pick the after a short while we convince ourselves itās not so bad to as far as liking the pick. Ā Iām quite skeptical this is one of those cases. Iām really hoping we use a solid rotation of DT ālinesāā¦ a reference to hockey rotations that Hondo Carpenter made. Ā While I donāt like his work I am intrigued by what he said here. id like to see us pair sets of 2 DTs ā¦ aka a ālineā and rotate them in to keep the players fresh but also to rotate the lines for specific situations such as passing downs or running downs. Ā For example, I could see Byron Young being paired with Nichols or FarrellĀ for likely running downs and Tillery paired with Matthew or Adam Butler for passing downs. Ā The pairing would allow the sets of two DTs to get use to each other. Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders fan delusion is most likely rooted in a lack of history watching the Raiders for a long period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
