RaidersAreOne Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I would be all over this. George is a very solid S and has immense familiarity with Guenther's system. It would allow us to part ways with Nelson as well. Conley, Melvin, Worley, Nelson, Joseph and Iloka would be a very solid secondary. Of course this is barring we have room/get Mack done.

big_palooka Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Wonder what his price tag would be. Safety market has been depressed this offseason. It's almost too easy. Upgrade the position, get younger and he knows the scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think switching him out with Nelson or Obi would be a good move(Obi would upset more people, although we could put him on pup until healthy). We could use a decent safety back there.

Obi could maybe learn from a safety with a similar frame and game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers just lost their starting safety for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he knows whats good for him, he wont sign there in fear of ending up injured too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Apparently Oakland has reached out to Iloka. Makes to much sense to not talk and see if the money makes sense. Would have to wonder who’s spot he takes. Have to think he would take Karl Joseph spot and Gilchrist would be at FS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yup. He would instantly be our best Safety, but you're right he is a SS only and would either force KJo down the lineup or to switch to FS (which I think he might be able to do). Joseph is short and doesn't match up well vs TE's, but he does have speed and was a ballhawk in college. It's going to be interesting to see what we do.

Not sure that is right tbh re Iloka being a SS only. Iloka and Shawn Williams interchange at FS/SS for the Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The responsibilities for both mix and are interchangeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 That’s how most systems run now adays. You bring Iloka in to start not to play a reserved role. The way Gunther talks about Gilchrist makes it hard for me to think when he’s healthy he won’t be out there starting. Maybe if they sign him that will allow Oakland to release Reggie Nelson.

RaidersAreOne Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I say SS as he is known for being a good in the box safety, doesn't force many TO's and is only adequate vs the pass. Hence not being a center-fielding ball hawk like most FS's try to be. If they are interchangeable than fantastic. Run Iloka and Joseph and call it a day without complicating positions.
