What are you even talking about, only ones that looked bad were Devonshire, and Laube and those are 6 and 7 rounders. Laube just needs to hold on to the ball, even Jacobs had ball security issues

[@area51discgolf]

The way JPJ just throws grown men to the ground is impressive. We've been complaining about James for a couple years now, time for him to go. At this point, let the rookies play more and start Ridder.

Sanjit, I couldn't agree more! JPJ needs to be our center. Jim Otto would be proud

[@RockTrooper87]

I never would've caught ANY of this. I played corner/safety in high school so I usually watch the db's and the QB when I watch football. Thank you Sanjit for sharing, this is great stuff!

[@acee7440]

Same here WR/DB but as I get older I am understanding the skill players really ain’t nun. It’s all about the trenches

[@johnadkins7512]

APJ is a great center to be… This has always been the heart of good Raider teams…an outstanding center! Great eye Sanjit I really believed that’s why we drafted this guy! Let’s go.

[@mrl2091]

James needs to be gone. You're absolutely right about him getting blown up. Every time. We need a solid guy in the center to anchor our O-line... Powers is that guy

[@MEDspiration]

Fire, appreciate this break down, always learn so much about the trenches from Sanjit. Thanks for take my the time to make these

[@OrtizFrancisco]

When he posted his snaps at center on IG I got so hyped. It’s obvious this guy is itching to be the leader of this line. He wants to call the shots and he more than deserves it. He plays like a hound Richie and I love it.

[@TheSid2355]

Give Telsco some love: he has hit on his first draft. Not reaching for someone and taking Bowers, Jpj in the second and glaze in the third. We still need to see Taylor (cb) play. So far good start.

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

Yeah, too bad Laube got a bad wrap on what little we've seen him in both preseason and the Steelers game so far. Laube could end up being a bust or stay in ST to develop for a few years at this rate.

[@manuelalvarez1892]

He’s always drafted well for the Chargers just always had terrible coaches.

[@TheSid2355]

Telesco had nothing to do with the AP hire. I think both AP and Getsy got to go. Hire slowik, Johnson and some offensive minded coach. Hopefully, we keep graham as dc.

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

Totally agree!!! What a great film breakdown of Center, Jackson Powers Johnson. Thank you for this! Especally enjoy these type of film breakdowns.

[@alekivaz]

I think they drafted him knowing JPJ was going to take James’ spot. But even at guard I think he’s done really well as well. We have a strong rookie foundation on our line. Looks like more often than not, the veterans have gotten us into trouble.

[@enriquegonzalez9895]

Yup even miller ain't reliable against elite pass rushers

[@alekivaz]

@@enriquegonzalez9895 I’ve been reluctant to critique him cause he missed all of the off season activities and is still getting his strength back but he should have the most communication with the guys being the vet, and just hasn’t

I hope AP watches this video

[@r8drz2win]

Tale of the tape! No lie, if the Raiders don't start this guy at center, then coaches need to be fired! Plus, the only problem I've noticed with him is false starts... moving him to center would pretty much instantly cure that, since he'd be the one initiating the play... Dude's a beast! Great draft pick! Go Raiders! ❤️🏈

[@elmorelee1140]

Gotta find some way to limit penalties. I agree with this because a lot of our drives are stalled because of penalties and him being the main culprit

[@davidnayan9632]

Great analysis!!! Thanks for this! It gives us hope. Not sure if this OC has the ability to see what you do, but let’s hope so.

[@oaklandfan5262]

I’m the fan thats been saying Andre James is trash and we seen his UDFA ceiling 3 seasons ago, Raiders need to lose that dude asap and stop falling in love with or waiting for a late round or even a UDFA that wasn’t even on NfL team’s radar during the draft. Be happy with finding dudes like Hobbs and Crosby later in the draft. But waiting for less that impactful players to find a groove is wishful thinking. Draft Draft and draft again. This team needs competent bodies and coaches. RN4L

[@egeromegilbert9118]

We finally had a good draft, now let’s go get another line man & our QB (SANDERS) in next year’s draft

[@ikiruyamamoto1050]

Thanks for the great analysis video...that's quality content! With the season going down the tubes, the only interesting things are if our young talent are going to learn, and turn into good starters. I would say is that we need a lot of new quality beef on the OL, and that's going to take a couple of drafts. Unfortunately, by the time that happens, our best OL (Miller) will "aging out" (shoulder injuries are already sapping him). The real problem is Mr. Bowl Cut let the players pressure him into a rookie coach, and then failed miserably by getting cheap on Kingsbury and letting him go to Washington. So everyone in the AFC West is getting better faster than the Raiders who have a coach who is by far the worst coach in the division (to be fair, the division probably has the best collection of coaches). Losing...."The Raider Way."

[@DavidHernandez-np6pk]

I love him as a distributor of the line . Future captain , keep both the left side and right side of the line going with his intensity

[@MrMartymart]

Agree Sanjit! It’s a no brainer 💀

[@RaigeWilde]

I think Jordan Meredith and JPJ work well together on the interior

[@salraider7160]

This is the best we can do for the raiders. Constructive criticism. Not wanting to get people fired.

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

If you want to improve the offense as a whole, the OC needs to go or be demoted. He's crippling the entire offense and there's plenty of film to show that.

[@yorubapryor5884]

[@Oakenheart16]

I agree with this. I would like to see a line of Miller - Munford - JPJ - Parham / Meredith - Glaze. I know Sanjit has not been the biggest fan of Munford but to me the guy does everything pretty well except his slow feet in his kick slide, I think if you move him to the inside you fix (or at least help with) a lot of his problems, the rookies have been impressive and will only get better. Miller has had a rough season but we think this is injury related so should get back to form next year (hopefully) - and at this point who else would you play at LT?

[@johnpauledstrom4491]

Been saying this! He is super smart!

[@acee7440]

Bold take- Feels like operation tank has been in full swing even before week 1. AP does not look afraid to lose his job, Getsy was the last OC choice (perfect scapegoat), & they picked up a career backup QB in the offseason. I don’t think they had any intentions of winning this year. They know who’s coming out this year & Tommy T and AP wanna be ready to build this team around Sanders

[@Tripp-o8u]

Our 2 rookie ol oml thank you God 🙏🏽

[@bamaraiderable]

I love this video, Sanjit. I have the same view, but I thought they would keep him at LG to counter guys like Chris Jones. I was looking for a new OC in the next draft, but I'm perfectly fine with JPJ at OC and drafting a stud to replace him at LG. There are a lot of really solid O linemen in the draft from powerhouse schools who have lots of playing time and chances to play against top competition. Evaluation will be big this off season because we MUST get better on the OL because we are drafting our franchise QB.

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

There's no doubt the Raiders offense is top priority for the upcoming draft with QB as the utmost highest priority, then Oline second. RB probably 3rd and possibly a wide receiver in trade/FA after that.

[@jerrysexton6138]

You're right brother He's a good son I mean he's like a watchdog there he reminds me of Winooski I wouldn't be surprised if he starts growling whenever the other team gets near the ball when it's sitting on the ground

[@TRaider66]

I’ve said since we drafted James that he didn’t have enough lower body strength. He’s from our neighborhood so we see him occasionally. His lower body is more like a TE or basketball players.

[@just_a_guy10]

He seems like a good locker room leader as well, he doesn’t look or act like a rookie at all he acts like a leader already and that’s kinda wild to say.

[@chefmarcos]

Love this guy. JPJ is awesome.

[@SatantonioRaider]

I didn't realize they pulled A. James. They need to keep Johnson at Center!!!

[@MatataMcCleskey]

The pocket was noticeable better after JPJ started. Anther great draft!

[@tturtle72]

Love the analysis and film breakdown. James seems more like a scheme type of player whereas JPJ is a plug and play in any type of offense they want to run. James needs to go to a team that uses zone blocking. He sucks at the power scheme the Raiders seem to want to run. At least we can say Telesco hit on last years draft and pray he does it again this year

[@rhodalphssanitorium5010]

Well, we would have had a tackle, if Bowers wasn't available. The James signing, surely, was based on a draft chart. No? Crazy that JPJ dropped. Really hoping the Raiders heed your advise about the kid finally. It is a better offense without our friend Andre. Well done and thank you. I am massively impressed, after viewing this video.

[@shannonchurchill4556]

Opposing D-lines have been eating James' lunch, so why wait any longer to make this move? We gave him a big contract last year and he's badly underperforming. Put JPJ back in the position where he was so highly rated in college. It's a no-brainer, and we've GOT to figure out the O-line or nothing is ever going to work on offense.

[@harveybjackson203]

been waiting for someone else to say JPJ is our needed center

[@christopherdalley411]

Makes me want to be a O-Line Coach ❤❤❤

[@lordraiden1]

I agree!

[@johnmorris77]

My high school team freshman-junior years you’d be lucky to make it back to the LOS before getting hit by a defender. Senior year I switched schools and I could literally gain 5 yards before getting touched.. to say it makes a big difference is an understatement. With that blocking I scored a TD almost every time I got the ball. Any kid on the team could have gained yards the blocking was so good.

[@RichMitchell-wh3ll]

Hell Yea , Start JPJ now and finish the season , May jump start a win streak …… RN4L

[@TainoRaider16]

Chris Jones kept moving around cause JPJ was doing good against him. Not shut down, but better than most

[@RickyTwoToes]

I was at the game, James was definitely hurt. I also think JPJ needs to be our starting center asap

[@KennyP99941]

Hopefully we can foist Andre James on some team and get a late round draft pick. I've been saying for three years James is terrible. Great news that we finally have a center. Guards are a lot easier to find on day three of the draft. JPJ at center will allow the QB to have a clean pocket, something a Raider QB has not seen in years.

[@RaiderTiahui13]

Seems like James, a John Gruden guy, and Munford, a JMD guy, have been replaced as our starters in one year with AP and Tommy T. To have our OL, at key positions, with extra young talent is huge for our future on the OL!!! HUGE!!! It took this regime one off-season, with really no time to prep, to fill in major holes on our OL... Great job to AP and Tommy T for finding "their" players...

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

Once Parham is fully recovered he can take LG or go back to RG while Meredith goes to the other spot, then the 5 guys up front are set for the team. Just wish Kolton was in better shape, seems like every week the injury report has Kolton showing up so he's never at 100%, let alone 70% imo.

[@th3l0nerang3rs]

After that hip toss, he does the "Deep Freeze" just like Ice Box from Roller games! Where are all my Rollergames fans out there!?! ::crickets::

[@joshshontelle5592]

I agree he's a young beast.. very strong stance.. he ain't getting pushed back very far.. and he goes downfield to finish plays.. I can see why the refs tell him to take it easy haha.. the center is a very important position, I like our chances when powers is right in front of our QB

[@chefmarcos]

They factor in yes. But Minshew is bad at reading the field and making quick decisions.

[@anunnjr]

Agree 💯

[@BoGooden-jt3xu]

I was surprised when they re-signed Andre James but to my knowledge there wasn’t many options on the free agent market then.

[@TroySetterlund]

Which position do you think is better for slightly less likelihood of concussion risk? You pointed out the center not being covered up by a defensive lineman on all those pass protection plays. I always feel like the centers get killed on the running plays and especially short yardage. I always think of the damage that Mike Webster took back in the day (and other centers). That is my main worry and feel that this could be a partial story from back in the preseason with JPJ's mystery injury status. Your opinion and info sharing is appreciated!

[@TainoRaider16]

Inside zone runs have not been good with James and most people hate the inside runs because of this, but may be better with JPJ

[@brandaddy5150]

Hopefully that will keep him from so many false start calls

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

Hope so too, it's becoming a scary consistent thing to see with him stacking up penalties each game.

[@Lonestar_Raider]

I say let’s help the Jets and send them Andre James… Any pick they give us would be worth more.

[@robertc6850]

Damn JPJ moved up the charts to a top 5 center in just a few snaps. 😮

[@EnFuego75Carlos]

[@soccer4806]

Agree on JPJ at Center. Let's move Munford to left guard, JPG center and keep parham at right guard. Meredith and Whitehair can move people.

[@RealfernandoRV]

JPJ my favorite Raider even after the play is over mf goes hard

[@S.dot187]

Sanjit my hat goes off to you man I am so serious when i say that! If our Raider dumb offensive coaches can't in person and film evaluate the best talent we have and put them in the proper place at least you will show the film to the fans where we will ALL know where the blame is and where the answer is when it comes to this offensive line! Win JPJ moved to center it's like he went back to work in college at the NFL level easy work! It was VERY plain to see he is better then James like night and day a whole rookie fresh outta college making James look like Homer Simpson. We have 2 offensive line coaches one a former HC and you telling me none of them REALIZE this after watching film and are trying different things at practice. We literally can pick off somebody else's practice squad for a guard and come up better than Whitehair. Whitehair and James have absolutely no leg strength no anchor whatsoever. I am so ecstatic that you can see this clearly on film and can bring it out!🤝🏽🙏🏾🤜🏾🤛🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

James does need to be let go or sit it out, he's been generally subpar the entire season. Whitehair is also dreadful and there's no doubt in my mind once a suitable LG is found whether in Meredith, Parham, or even Munford (when he's not moonlighting as a WR) then Whitehair will be cut from the team after this season. Speaking on Munford, I wonder what he'll do next, will be end up becoming a rotational piece? Or will he be the emergency LT if Miller gets sidelined with a bad enough injury. We know he's not going back to RT now that Glaze earned that position.

[@Dguero23]

Sanjit what do you think about moving James to Guard?

[@kungfuamerican]

If you guys remember my first comment after the draft, JPJ’s future is at C. It’s because I believe he can be an elite G, but would be a HOF C. I think he has higher ceiling over Humphrey.because of quickness and lower center of gravity the way he can keep his butt down

[@stevenvalrie6223]

Raiders will get that O-line together people !!

[@johnthompson8814]

I thought that from the beginning

[@Real_Richmond_510]

JPJ has that mindset, that if he could play every position at once he would and do it well! He is a generational talent. He doesn't give up his gap to a defender he only gives it up when his men get beat and always covers the blind side. He needs that starting center role asap. He can anchor down and toss people without trying 😂. Love this pickup. If only we had one more dawg on offensive line...

[@jb512]

Well, he was hurt in training camp and missed games to start the season. Also, JPJ has played guard at Oregon I believe

[@jmoon2851]

J see a ton of run lanes for a mobile qb with this O-line. Too bad we don't have a dual threat QB.

[@mattsui9492]

I thought our offensive line should've been powers-johnson at center, glaze and miller at tackle, meredith and parham at guard and james as a backup tackle since he was originally a tackle before switching to center

[@stevenvalrie6223]

JPJ is a straight BEAST 💪. Leave him at home at center. JPJ is that GUY !!
