Everyone is going to talk about the RB room because we won. Let’s not forget the defense is absolutely terrible and we will get our teeth kicked in the next 2 weeks.
Still couldn’t get over 100 yards. Gave up 160 yards rushing and 300 passing to Gena. Defense needs a new leader.
I hate to say fire someone when we finally seem to be trying to be consistent in keeping coaches, but damn. Our DC is in over his head. The next two weeks are going to suck.
10 draft picks
8 players signed/re signed
1 trade.
All that and our defense is worse than it’s been in….
Raiders need to score early and play from ahead. They should be vulnerable to the pass rush. I don’t know that we can stop the run, even against guys who weren’t good enough to play OLine for us.
Spy told us he believed in building from the trenches out when he started. We have added 11 new and re signed 2 players for the trenches. Other than a somewhat improved pass block the trenches are not any better than it was 2 years ago.
If he didn’t suffer a serious injury Monday the Raiders should pursue Moro Ojomo. He would be an upgrade and not costly, only 25.
Football 301’s trade deadline episode with the great @greggrosenthal is now out!
We fantasy book trades we want to see before the deadline hits.
- BTJ to a contender
- Bills boost their defense (multiple ideas, too!)
- Moro Ojomo to the Jags!
- Vikes trade for a RB
and more!
The Raiders were considered a 6 win team for a reason. Year one building a team and it is going to take another year or two before we are a 12 win team. Enjoy the game, it’ll be fine long term.
