Efe Obada has been a fan of just about everyone on this forum. From the moments we got him through the international program to the day he made his first tackle in a real game. He truly is an inspiration to all those that follow him to the NFL. I'm glad he is still playing and when they are on TV I look for him to make plays. Congrats on a good career Efe, you are an inspiration.

Not necessarily a good idea. Sadly, he made it to the wrong person. Now Cleveland has bulletin board material to get them motivated to go after Baker a bit harder.

Come on, man. It's a classic..... lol Let's bring them to date.

This dude is cut. Reminds me a bit of swole bones but with great hands and speed. I love his RAC mentality too.

I believe beside DT and WR we could part ways with Sullivan from the TE group.

Zylstra has always been a bubble guy but with the depth at WR he was replaceable. We have 7 WR I wouldn't be surprised to see one of them go before at DT.

I am super excited that we managed to keep this guy on the active roster. He surely would have been snagged off the PS or never made it there. I'm putting in the 1st nickname for him. CONVOY from the great 70's classic by C.W. McCall

Is there a waiting time period for signing waived players? Do they follow the worst to first as far as who is claimed off waivers?

Phone Rings CALLER 1 "Good Afternoon Raider's General Manager's office" CALLER 2 "Good Afternoon, We are calling to see if you are interested in a former 1st round Offensive Lineman" CALLER 1 "That's odd we were just about to call you for the same offer. Maybe we could swap 1st rounders? CALLER 2 "That might work" CALLER 1 "Which team are you from? CALLER 2 (in Chris Berman Voice) "THE RAIDEEERRRS" CALLER 1 "Report to the GM's office immediately."

Don't worry, Most are right there with you.

I was really pulling for him. Got lots of speed. Hopefully, he makes it to the PS.

It was between Fox and Rivera because they took us to the SB. Fox gets my vote. Rivera did nothing at half time to help our offense. We could have won that game had Rivera/Shula made some adjustments. Dan Henning changed our entire gameplan at halftime since the Cheatriots knew everything we were running. That move by Henning gives my nod to Fox. While Henning was responsible, Fox gets some of the credit.

Isn't that Fitterer's motto. "We'll listen to any calls" Or one of them.

LOL I knew it was in NY and they wore blue.

Especially Cincinnati. They rejion Burrows. Or possibly NYG where Joe Brady is.

Especially since versatility has been kind of a motto for us. Would have definitely put the pressure on Jordan. I got this feeling that Rhule has some sort of fetish over Jordan. He talked him up last season and now seem to hold onto him longer. Hopefully, we are holding him until we can sign someone off waivers.

Most teams know our depth. They know we can't or won't keep all these receivers on the roster. Why give up draft picks when in a couple hours they can claim them off waivers. The only value of a trade is that you get that player exclusively, I don't think there are many teams that are that desperate and will take their chances on the waiver wire.

Rhule's wife will veto this move.

I was saying the same thing. I thought Howell did quite well considering the loss of talent. He was only 500 yds off his 2020 season. I wanted Howell but like I said before we drafted anyone. I would pull for the rookie QB. It's just sad that he never really received a chance. 1955 a QB from Louisville was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers and was never really given a chance to make the team. It wasn't until a Coach named Weeb Ewbank found the man with the "Golden Arm" Johnny Unitas Not saying Corral will be the next Unitas but someone is going to get him and find they have a pretty decent QB. Corral never received a fair shake here.

I personally wanted Howell when we traded up and knew it was a going to be a QB. Howell with some experience IMO is going to be a good QB. Willis, I personally am skeptical but I've been wrong before. We'll just have to wait and see. Crow will be piping hot for someone. Corral did not get any help from Rhule. I think we can agree that Howell and Willis saw many (and I mean many) more Reps that Corral did. That said, before he got hurt he was playing far better in game 2 than he did in Game 1. Willis's first game was run first, throw second. So both showed imrovement from game one to their final preseason game. Now Rhule has put this team in a position to lose a 3rd round pick because we select a QB in 2023 if we get that high of a pick.

This is probably the best argument for letting Hubbard go. If you can't be a good checkdown for a QB your time in the NFL will be limited. He's not a bad running but those stone hands will be his demise.

Roberts may not beat out Shi Smith for return man. Shi has look outstanding at PR/KR in preseason. Roberts is 34 with a much higher salary than Newsome who is only 23. Newsome will pick up on a PS somewhere.

And of course the talking heads are ALWAYS correct. He may be a good QB but IMO he isn't ready to take over QB1. Absolutely. From what I have seen he is ready to take off at the slightest amount of pressure. If he does start this year you can bet some great coverage schemes and well as some exotic blitzes to get him to run. I am sure he'll have a couple of highlight reel runs but sooner or later it will hurt him.

OK that's an opinion, but I suspect that if Tannehill falters you will see Willis make his 1st read and run afterward. The guy IMO has a way to go before he's ready to be QB1.

As much as I dislike Payton, Brees is a HOF QB for a reason. The guy seemed to always make the right play.
