Raiders Defensive Line DISRESPECTED in Ranking by PFF

Las Vegas Raiders defensive line was recently ranked by Pro Football Focus PFF and they ranked the Raiders DL as the 9th unit on the list. Is that too low for this defensive group?

This is quite disrespectful considering you have Wilkins and Crosby! Not surprisingly, the national media tends to conspire against us. The only remedy for that is to start winning some playoff games.

[@andrewbird57]

Raiders fans are always delusional about the quality of talent on their team. It doesn't matter anyway because their head coach is bankrupt and probably won't last the season. The Raiders will be lucky to win 5 games. I can see them picking in the top 5 next April, maybe they can draft a franchise QB, instead of the backups they have on the roster now.

[@Centralcoastwraps831]

Yet the same players we’re delusional about will go elsewhere and get paid or teams will give up draft capital to obtain

[@Bennyblades44]

We literally have a top 3 de and a top 3 dt to go along with a #7 pick and koonce. We are easy top 5.

[@andrewbird57]

@@Bennyblades44 lol Raider fan delusion is always entertaining. How many seasons has it been since the Raiders won a playoff game? How many head coaches have you had since then? Like I said before, it doesn't matter. Antonio Pierce is bankrupt. This season is already over for the Raiders. But look at the bright side, you'll be in position to draft a QB in the top 5 in April.

[@DrTiki-oe4sn]

AP’s financial woes were being litigated around the same time he became our interim coach, and we all know how that worked out. If we’re staying objective, Wilkins, Koonce, and Maxx are a top 5 unit.

[@ochogonzalezR8R]

[@hawghunter2024]

Raider fan my whole life, the reason the Raiders get no respect is because respect is earned not given. They haven't proved anything yet. Now if they go out and kick butt, which they are totally going to do, then we can talk. Next year they won't be ranked ninth. They won't be ranked 9th by week 6 either.

Imagine if the Patriot Plague would have chosen Jalen Carter instead of Tyree Wilson.

[@raidernation5237]

The raiders, colts and Steelers DL are UNDERRATED. While the 9ers, cowboys, and lions are OVERRATED Imo.

[@nixon233]

They always underestimate us defense will be solid the qb and running position are the main concern

[@Baby_Suge]

Let’s not forget that the Raiders passed up on Jalen Carter and picked Tyree Wilson in the 2023 Draft!! Tyree Wilson will never be as good as Jalen Carter and I don’t care what any “Raider Homer” says!! I’m tired of Raiders fans making excuses about Tyree having an injury coming into the draft that caused him to have a horrible 1st season while him being a top 10 pick. The Raiders have selected 1st rounders with a history of significant injuries in the 1st round, such as DJ Haden & Karl Joseph. How did they pan out? Some will say that the Raiders passed on Jalen Carter due to his legal issues, but I think they passed on him due to Jalen’s legal issues being similar to Henry Rugg’s legal issues and didn’t want to deal with the backlash from the Vegas residents.

[@Rick_Sanchez_308]

We are always being overlooked, but they rank the 49ers 2 lol wtf

[@drunkwolf2477]

[@davidli5115]

It's not about disrespect of Maxx Crosby. Maxx Crosby could be 20 sacks a year types of dominant player. But Crosby often over run plays. Crosby should get his upper body stronger so he can " yanks, and jerks these blockers out of his way. Speed itself , and can't break down costed Crosby many sacks. Hell, I am confident Maxx Crosby will be the first NFL 30 plus sacks artist in the future. And 30 Tackles for lost NFL Defense player of the centuries.

Hey Sanjit T, great video. I think 9 is a little low, however, I think this year the Raiders are poised to break out. So it’s going to take a year or two for the National media to catch up.

PFF grades every player, in every snap..... but they have the young guys do it and they are now wildly inconsistent. 5 years ago, yes. It was revolutionary what they were doing. But now I don't even look at their grades.

[@johnq.8167]

Bro, love your channel. Please breakdown all the position grades around the league compared to the Raiders and I guarantee you the Raiders will only lack at QB. I don’t think a great QB can overcome their team having poor grades at multiple positions. I think the Raiders position value and depth can overcome and compliment B- effort at QB. The sky isn’t falling just because the Raiders don’t have a top 8 QB.

[@SanjitT]

I 100% agree with you on that

[@meechryles7072]

This ain't nothing new 🤷 just gotta show them this time around

[@MistyStar83]

First and foremost, your apology to your fans is highly respected. The video you made about Antonio Pierce was kinda too personal, but I didn’t know that about the Raiders coach You are a man of integrity and that is why among other why I like and love watching your content. You’re still good in my book. Sanji have a good day. God bless.

[@chrisfrancis6101]

Good! So when they end the season at #1, then what!

[@SteadyMo66in]

At the end of the day, these dudes base their opinion off of what has happened already, and partly off of the positive additions like Wilkins. I think their list isnt that far off. There are some thats maybe 1 or 2 spots off. But nothing is, like, super ridiculous. We have Crosby and Wilkins and thats it. Realistically. Everyome else that we hype up, is average. And Wilkins is omly a run stopper who had a peak stat in QB sacks last season. Inorder for us to prove them wrong...Tyree HAS TO make a jump this year.. so does Koonce....Butler and Jenkins just need to be solid....Max has to have his best seaon yet, now that he has help....and Wilkins has to continue to be a dominant run defender, AND supass his QB sacks from last season....thats the only way our DL earns the respect that yall think we deserve

[@jameshannagan4256]

Koonce already broke out last year even when Josh used him in limited snaps he was getting a lot of pressure than he started getting home more witplaying time. I think Koonce is going to be a star and he's going to get a big contract hopefully from us. Sorry my cat sat right on the keyboard.

[@SteadyMo66in]

@jameshannagan4256 he had like 8 sacks last year. Regardless of how many snaps he played, everyome rotates throughout the game. Maybe except Maxx. But all they see is 8 sacks, that's it. So I wouldn't call that a breakout year. It's a good year. But not a breakout. He gotta hit that 10 sack mark. Hopefully even more. And co consistency is a big thing too. 1 hit wonders can be forgotten faster than you think. We still have to be dominant in every aspect this seasom inorder to gain the respect of the NFL community

[@jameshannagan4256]

@@SteadyMo66in I remember reading he had less than 500 snaps so that's pretty damn good. I think he's going to be a star his quickness and bend is all-pro like and he's gotten stronger and heavier which is what he needed to do. What did Maxx get 1100 snaps every time he went in he was getting pressure in the first half he just wasn't getting home at the last second. He's a guy i'm really looking forward to watching this year along with Tre Tucker another guy who only flashed in the last 4 games but he was open a lot.

[@texmcboog]

LOL. You get rated as a top 10 Dline and in typical Faider fashion, if it isn’t the best, cryin’. Faider fans think they have the best roster and win the Super Bowl every weekend, even off season. The Faiders have the second most losses in the NFL since 2000. That is not changing this year, or next, or the one after that. You got Telesco, and he has already started to further destroy your franchise. How many ex-Chargers has he signed, like 20? LOL

Nope, No one cares about respect or no respect ! Show the football world ....results. Not talks. That D-Line will get less than 30 sacks...if that !!! Show me SXXT on the stick !!!

[@KennyP99941]

Does this ever get old talking about the media disrespect. You need to earn respect and last time I checked the Raiders haven't earned anything. Quinnen Williams is over 300 pounds. He can't play 1000 snaps because of his size. Players that size become ineffective when they play too many snaps. Maxx Crosby isn't the norm when it comes to snaps. Myles Garrett played 800 snaps, thats the norm. It actually was a positive write up about the Raiders D-line. Raider fans always need to play the victim.

[@jameshannagan4256]

I'm sure as hell not playing the victim we have mostly been bad with a couple of decent seasons once in a while. I do think 9 is a little bit off though but there is no way to know if guys like Koonce are going to be a star and you can add Wilson to that list too. I think more like 5 or 6 with the potential to right there with the best if Koonce keeps playing like he did the last half of the season last year. Wilson is also a big question mark if he breaks out this year we'll be awesome.

[@KennyP99941]

@@jameshannagan4256 You might not play the victim, but 90% of fans do. Raider fans get their panties in a bunch over rankings by writers who never played football. At the end of the year does a ranking mean anything. Nope. (th, 5, 12th. It doesn't mean shit.

[@jameshannagan4256]

@@KennyP99941 I agree with that and I don't pay attention or care what 90% of them have to say. Besides it's great for us that's the best thing that could have happened to us maybe a couple of teams will take us a little lightly and it should give them motivation. I really do like this roster it's the best since the early 2000s and Telesco did a good job in getting veteran guys who are legit pros to back up our starters. I do wish we'd sign a vet CB though but it seems like they are happy with what they have. I have a sneaky suspicion we will surprise a lot of those so-called experts. I'm just happy we have a defense finally the younger fans don't even really know that it was our defense that won a lot of those games. SBs we allowed 14,10,9 points and also won a lot of playoff and regular season games because of it.
