Also, love the way JPJ is such a thoughtful, softly spoken guy off field and a nasty sob on the field. He’s got the makings of an old school Raider. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely we just having a look at various positions for the OL. Because maybe being right handed he can generate more power from the right than the left, I mean some people just feel stronger when going to there dominant side. For example I'm right handed and If I wanted to break down a door I'm charging with my right shoulder because in certain I can generate more power instead of using my left shoulder.

People hate on Glaze but he has a lot of potential. Glaze and Richardson could make this draft special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t see Parham as a strong run blocker tbh, he’s good at pass blocking tho. Be interesting to see how it all pans out whether we value better run blockers than pass blockers.

So if they think the rookie will be a better run blocker. I rather have him beside Miller. He also gets the help of Miller experience on pass blocking being beside him.

OldManWillis Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Hoping some of the rookies change their numbers after cuts. Would love to see JPJ back in 58. I can't describe how excited I was we grabbed him and Bowers. Both players should be huge for our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the plan was but we got spooked with FA guard market and so we resigned James. Might be Parham does better at Guard in Getsy’s wide zone scheme. Peat & JPJ will give some real competition at G. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Peat as a super 6th man who can play guard or tackle. Could even play RT in Munford struggles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's at a level that you would indeed prefer to upgrade from, sure, but if we're going to keep, say, 9-10 OL, keep the best ones regardless of position since at least 3 of our best OL can play multiple positions, and keep the best 5 on the field. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup agreed on James and I have Parham in the same bracket tbh i.e can be upgraded. OL is definitely versatile and I could see a scenario with Peat playing LG and JPJ RG and Parham battling James for Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the zone scheme will be better suited for James and Parham who are smaller athletic type lineman. Power scheme didn’t make much sense that JMD had considering the personnel Edited May 12 by bucksavage1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaze, Wagner and Peat can all play tackle and Munford can play left and right. Glaze and Peat can both play potentially inside too and Parham, Whitehair and Meredith can all cover guard and centre. I think the starting 5 are probably set but the 3 or 4 backup linemen we’ll carry will be a tough competition, I happen to think highly of Wagner and Meredith but Peat and Glaze offer something too. One of the UDFA picks has potential too. Edited May 13 by Darbsk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
