So that’s what we’re doing. Phew, I thought Bryce was it. Now I see their real plan.

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.

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.

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.

Just don’t downgrade. I am not fan attached to Tremble but we are thin in that room now.

A’Shawn is alright with me. Asset. I suspect they could renegotiate with Tremble but I probably wouldn’t say that if Sanders had been decent. We would be thin.

Double dip and put the guys starting in 2025 on 2nd team, we will be straight at LB.

Yeah, but it was time to move on from Ron. The problem was hiring a college coach with no NFL cred. And yes I know he had one season in NY with the NYG. Low level position which should never have sufficed for NFL cred. Who am I kidding? The problem was Tepper and he would have had his hands in anybody’s stuff.

I can picture the little IT geniuses putting pro Bryce bots to work as I type this. Probably for all his clients.

Multiple places writing that 5 weeks ago there was an owner/GM/coach meeting, McDermott pointed out flaws in the roster that would prevent them from winning, or handicap the effort to win the SB. He pissed them both off in the course of the meeting. No more specific he said he said out there yet. That I found.

Well that is a bright side.

Missed tackles. Maybe shying from contact to protect noggin?

So it isn’t limited?

JC dipped after his concussion this year. Coincidence? Possibly. Possibly not. Might be there with Stroud as well. Brain clouds dulling reaction/processing. As if I have any medical knowledge, it seems possible though.

Yes I do remember that. And people say the playbook is not limited.

You can get the Athletic for $2 per month. But it isn’t impressive. It is all columnists mostly, not daily up reporting, not much gets written during the week. Baseball coverage is the same. That’s mostly what I follow. Foot and base ball.

It would be more helpful they differentiated between the play action from the gun and from under center.

Yep. I couldn’t bear to read it all. Hunt is praising him. Derrick Brown is praising him. Reich is praising him to a lesser degree. He says not expected to be offered an extension before next season, but it is paving the way preparing the sheep for the news type of piece.

I would say if we did, it would point to Tepper keeping his hands off and letting his people work. Chances of that? Highly doubtful. I would have to assume Morgan is a 4-3 fan.

We’ll find out soon enough.

yep. They all went to the game last night scouting their number one pick. Brady and I guess Davis and whoever else from the Raiders.

Joe Person has a big piece in The Athletic today floating 3 years 33 million extension for Young. MF’n poo. Noteworthy it has Reich quotes in it. Complimentary too, but that’s Frank. Sure wish he would talk about his time here and why he was fired.
