[@pryplesh]

@@ThatFranchiseGuy Graham mentioned in a press conference that he likes sliding ends inside to work on hand fighting and placement because it’s much faster in those close quarters and contributes to shorting the learning curve.

[@robertborgeson1821]

Yeah that 2 tight end set is going to be nasty. So many options and you always make the defense wrong no matter what. As soon as they send their personelle grouping in they are wrong. If the send in heavies, bowers goes out wide and you spread those big guys out. If they send in DBs, brock is your fullback and you run it down their throat... It cant be overstated enough how valuable mayer is. In order for what i described just now to work you need a true number one WR and a true inline tight end that can do it all, including the dirty work. I love the way this team is built. It would open things up a lot more if he had better arm talent, but i could see a smart game manager QB thrive in this system.

[@pryplesh]

Spot on. AOC is tailor made for this system. He’s smart and very accurate.

[@robertborgeson1821]

As a skins fan I would have loved signing minshew to be our backup. If Jayden Daniels gets hurt for one game maybe you could come up with a REALLY good game plan for Mariota and possibly get the win if it's against a garbage team. If Jayden is out for an extended period there is nothing that can be done and there will be a flat out losing streak. With minshew, no matter how many games it is, or how good the opponent is, he gives you the chance to win each and everyone of those games. Not a punchers chance, a good chance. Everyone else has to be on top of their game, coaches+players, but if they are and a good plan is drawn up, he will manage it well.

Great analysis and your not a raiders only content creator. Better than anything those clowns ever did. 👍

[@tommysouk2031]

The thinking with Parham is that his footwork is much better at Right Guard as opposed to left, according to new OL coach James Cregg. Brett and EJ from Bootleg mentioned this when they drafted him a couple years ago but the old staff was stubbornly making him stick at left.

[@Michael-be6ov]

I don’t think this team is better than the chargers initially, but I understand that the chargers will likely have some top talent injured and I think the raiders are much better equipped for the grind that comes with a season

[@donbebe6092]

I think it’s the other way around. I think the Raiders are definitely better initially, and the Chargers have to potential to be better down the season. The injuries are a good point, but the Chargers are relying heavily on their draft class which are likely not gonna be at their top form their first season let alone to start the season. Additionally, you have to factor in that the Chargers have basically an entire new coaching staff so even established vets will experience a learning curve. In comparison, the Raiders maintained relatively the same coaching staff defensively, and kept some of their offensive coaches.

[@Michael-be6ov]

@@donbebe6092 I don’t know, I’m pretty low on the raiders. I don’t think the play calling is gonna mesh with the quarterback situation for a while. And then when anything happens to any player on the chargers, it’s gonna be last year all over again

[@donbebe6092]

@@Michael-be6ov Depends on what you mean by low. I’m not high on them, but I think they can put together 8-9 wins and potentially compete for a wildcard spot (not saying they will). In regard to QB play, the Raiders went 5-4 with Aidan O’Connell at QB under Antonio Pierce. And in that time they had a QB coach with no play calling experience acting as OC. Even if you are really low on Getsy, he’s still an upgrade just off experience alone. Schematically Aidan O’Connell is also just a good fit for Getsy’s offense. Overall, it’s not even necessarily that I’m high on the Raiders, I’m just low on the Chargers. I feel that they’re being overhyped, which tbh is a common occurrence every offseason for whatever reason. They have too many holes that they are hoping will be filled by unproven players. Honestly would be a bottom 5 roster in the NFL save for a few players. Corner room is arguably just as bad as the Raiders if not worse, their best LB is Junior Colson who is a 3rd round rookie, their feature back is Gus Edwards who has primarily been a rotational guy, and their weapons are incredibly lackluster. They are heavily relying on QTJ taking a big step forward and Ladd McConkey filling that WR1 role right away. Just unrealistic to think they’ll start off better than the Raiders especially when considering the new coaching staff as well.

"Indeterminate." The _VAST majority of people feel_ a childish need to say Yes or No now, like a 4-year-old before knowing a thing. There was nothing in his rookie year indicating he was going to be élite, nor was there any indication he would be a bust. But as for Marcus' assertion that Minshew "will be" the starter, I don't see how. If you're the Raiders & Minshew is your starter, you HAVE TO draft a QB next season. If AOC _can be_ a franchise QB you need to know that _before_ wasting a draft pick to replace him. So Minshew is the question mark here sorta. You don't need him unless your starter is injured & you need a spot-starter *on a team with playoff hopes.* He doesn't fit here except that who is their next-best back-up? Oh, right. He may be needed.

Was just wondering if the Raiders were gonna get a good grade this year lol. At least the team isn’t done, given our cap space.

Hopefully the defense continues to improve like it did the end of last season, and I’m praying Minshew is able to shine with the pieces around him, also that the Bears offense was Justin Fields’ fault, cause if not we’re in big trouble 😭

[@pryplesh]

Fields was the issue. Now Getsy gets one more chance to prove himself. Devontae is excited, that’s a good sign. And AOC will start and be comfortably a top 20 in QBR. I don’t think top 15 is out of the question

The Vikings survived I was sure they would be up here. I think the cards not on here makes sense Kyler Murray is a great qb and not only that they got MHJ and 2 other decent wr 2 great RB now the defense I don’t really know but the offense looks great for the cardinals if you believe in Trey benson and MHJ. This is my home team so I got to root for the raiders I hope they do well.

Aidan is the starter not Gardner. Pretty much every report I've seen is that the team surrounding him believes he's the guy. I get it I know you've been lower on Aidan for a while and in fairness I've yet to watch this but I saw a comment had Gardner ranked as the Raiders qb and I just felt the need to give insight. Overall excited about this season and honestly regardless I think we draft a 1st round qb next year which will be fun having people finally hyping us up.

I mean I actually liked Aidan coming out just feel like he's been made into something he isn't.

[@liambooth5377]

@@ThatFranchiseGuy is he a top 15 qb? Absolutely not. Will he reach top 20 by the end of the year? It's entirely possible to be 19th. Can you win with what will potentially be a top 10 defense whilst surrounded by a plethora of talent? Seen Brock Purdy do it. Not saying Aidan is Brock Purdy I'm just not convinced Brock could do it the same way if he was on the Cardinals. Aidan has to be just good enough and they'll get the job done imo. Which is making the playoffs. Just play pg.

​@@liambooth5377the Brock Purdy comparison with AOC is borderline disrespectful. AOC would have been mauled behind the pass protection Purdy had last year (bottom 6 in the league). Terrible comparison.

I don’t think Raider fans are unrealistic about Aidan at all. He’s tall, pocket passer with more than adequate arm strength and GREAT accuracy who greatly improved throughout the season dispute not getting ANY practice reps the 1st half of the season and then having his coach/coordinator fired mid season I do love the series/ channel, but @thatfranchiseguy it seems like this is a lazy take based on popular narrative.

[@pryplesh]

@@liambooth5377he’s probably not a top 15 guy after half a season and 3 coordinators… I’ll grant you. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he develops into a top 15 guy w a ‘clutch gene’ within 3 years or less.

Facyson was a little better for the Colts?? Jeepers. How bad was he in 2021? With the Colts in 2022 he was the worst corner I've ever seen.

[@dfp_01]

What in the world do we do with guys like Gardner Minshew and Jacoby Brissett, who are good enough to win a few games but not to elevate the team to achieve anything? I guess they make valuable mentors/bridge QBs, but there are scenarios in which it would be more valuable to have a QB who is genuinely bad and a decent team around him. It's just odd to me that this is Minshew's 6th season and he'll conceivably be starting for his 4th team. (Yes, I know Baker Mayfield did the same thing last year. He's better and was drafted higher.)

Game 1 in LA is basically another home game.

[@okaythanks872]

We still gonna lose cause we always lose in LA for some damn reason

[@thehungoverandroids]

I’m guessing cardinals and Vikings soon

[@thehungoverandroids]

As a bears fan I’m baffled that they signed Cody Whitehair. He was a great player long ago but I just don’t think he has it anymore. His drop off was pretty significant.

[@jadenmoyers837]

It’s just as a depth piece
