The Mannings were the last two highly drafted qbs to win a SB with the team that drafted them. Nobody else taken in top 10 won the Super Bowl with their original team. Stafford did it but after a trade.

Speaking about Steelers “I would not draft a quarterback for at least two to three years. That's just my opinion. I think as a GM, if I'm GMing this team ... the issue that I see with a lot of teams is they get a quarterback and they try and build around that quarterback. I think it should be the other way around. I think you should build a team and put your quarterback in it. Okay? It happened to me. They had a great football team. They plugged me in. We had a veteran group. It just works. It works better than trying to grab a quarterback and be, okay, we're gonna build around this quarterback, because then it's gonna take you four or five years to build around that quarterback. He's probably gonna look like poo up to it and then you're like, is he really our guy? is he not our guy?" I agree with him. Only downside is if you build too good of a roster you’re not drafting high enough to get your QB

I think Bryce running a legit, Cam style RPO would last like maybe two drives before he fumbled it or ran right into a kill shot.

What do they classify as RPO? I've seen that classified anywhere between "the QB sorta faked a handoff from shotgun" as being RPO all the way to "there's a mesh point and the QB is carrying the RB upfield and receivers are actually running routes." We run a lot of the former, not so much the latter (and I'd like to see more of it.)

Single route plays happen all the time, hate to burst your bubble. What do you think a screen is? But most short/medium plays are designed for half-field reads depending on the defensive coverage, so they're automatically cut down to two or three routes on the snap. Full five eligible progressions are not the norm in most offenses, just because QBs rarely have the amount of time available to reach the fourth or fifth receivers. Most routes are eliminated by coverage before the snap, and receivers recognize this as well and will adjust their routes accordingly, often either going through the motions or running a route designed to carry defenders rather than to get open (which is still very useful and is built into the play design.)

33 million dollars a year for this bullshit what is that fuging idiot smoking

Ya we got rooney'd. only chance he has left is with Pitt.

Looks like the Rooney guy. So now they can make a hire. Raiders do have Vance Joseph on the list but they have a bunch of other guys on that list - who knows if they wait and go through them all. I feel like that will take a long time, maybe too long.

Olsen was with Chicago 3 or 4 years and took a while to bloom. I remember wishing we could get him at 25 n 2007 but we took Beason. Couldn’t complain about that. I would really love to get a Jon Beason level ILB this draft. We have 4-5 other positions that could really use some 1st round talent. I feel like there will be someone at 19 at one of those positions with talent comparable to Sadiq. I am not gonna argue individuals really, I have done no research. Just philosophy. Address the holes unless it just isn’t close.

That was my point

The Raiders have completed a second interview with Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The team has complied with the Rooney Rule after interviewing Evero and former Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, who appears headed to the Chargers as offensive coordinator. That allows the Raiders to hire a new coach at any time. Evero has served as the Panthers’ defensive coordinator since 2023, first taking the job under former head coach Frank Reich. While Carolina finished at the bottom of the league defensively in 2024, Evero helped turn the unit around to finish No. 16 in yards and No. 15 in points allowed in 2025. Evero has coordinated two top-10 defenses — first with what the Broncos in 2022 (No. 7 in yards allowed) and then with the Panthers in 2023 (No. 4 in yards allowed). He has also worked for the 49ers, Packers and Rams. The Raiders also have Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak, Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula and Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb among their candidates. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/raiders-complete-second-interview-with-panthers-dc-ejiro-evero

This is the way. He’s no Luke, but who is? Golday is one of my draft crushes. I’d love him in the 2nd.

No, he mainly talked about rarely getting to see him and not begging him for tickets. He did state that he had to pay 1/2 price for his tickets to our game. He is Alex father’s brother. He was a nice guy, drank grey goose with me. He showed me some pictures of Alex taking picture with fans and family. Neat experience. The board member talked a lot about the arena and projects that are way behind. The Willis incident was random and happened towards the end of the first period. Willis is pretty stout. Other than that, more storm brews and a 2-1 win, it was a great day. I’m am curious what happened to Primo subs, anyone know?

If he's a game changer like Greg Olsen was for us it’s, a great idea. I'm with you though, I think the odds are much higher that we can get an impact LT, LB, or D-Line player that would fill a much larger hole than the three man rotation we have now in the TE room.

It’s called ball busting. While your story seems tall, it also sounds fun. Did Tuchs uncle give you any insight that he would play here?

I don't care about position. Give me BPA.

We have more important holes to fill than to be dropping pick 19 on a TE, I would be upset.

Trust me that’s what Person said. Where he got that from, if anywhere, is might be of concern. I acknowledge if you could get the best games he has had coming out like that 90% of the time, you do it. That hasn’t happened. They are gonna forget about 1-3 to finish the year. Forget about the last four straight incompletions to finish the wild card game, and focus on that game and extrapolate. Like the rest of the fan boys do, only these are supposed to be pros. I guess I will hold on tight to him not citing any team sources.

Day 1 or Day 2 elite guy, 100% fine. Do I think that is reasonable based on the class? No.

I am fine with upgrading on the cheap. I do not want to spend a day one or day two pick nor do I want to be in the Pitts FA sweepstakes.

Look, am I gonna be super upset at him being cut? No. But he has been one of the extremely few solid players on our front seven. That ain't worth a raise or a long term extension but it's probably worth not tinkering with when there are significantly more overpaid players on that side of the ball(Wharton, Brown, etc).

He’s okay….but that’s still a pretty high cap number. He only had 2.5 sacks, and was 35th in hurries. He’s good at batted passes at 3 which is 13th best but all his stats were basically down year over year. He’s still good at run defense, and I honestly think he’s a good locker room presence, and would be happy with a 1 year extension at a lower salary to level it out. I also would not be surprised if they decide they could use that 9.5 million to upgrade another position group, or use that money to help get a higher profile FA like a top tier LB, OLB, DE, or speed WR
