I'm not certain I trust Neal at LT. I think I might take Cross and/or the NCSU kid over him. But honestly I haven't watched a ton of any if them. We've needed a LT for the majority of the past 12 years but until we get a QB and a HC, not much is going to excite me. Put prime Jonathan Ogden on the field next year with Darnold at QB and Rhule and whatever scrub he puts at OC on the sidelines and we're still picking top 5.

Absolutely agreed. We SHOULD have a LOT of game tape on Christensen at LT and Brown at RG.

I agree on needing to make the call. I disagree with his call. Christensen has OT quickness. He doesn't have OG raw power. His lack of strength will be a bigger hindrance inside going against DTs than it is outside going against edge rushers. He has OT skills and quickness with OG build. Skills and quickness are a lot more important than build.

The long ass ref conferences are ridiculous and seem to be getting increasingly common. Jesus, Boger's crew is always terrible. First the inadvertant whistle. Now this post-play timeout allowed after a big gainer and what should've been roughing the passer. Clown show.

I figured that long term NFL fans would've learned to never speak in absolutes regarding the draft.

Strength is going to be a bigger burden for him inside at OG routinely facing DTs than it will be for him at LT routinely facing edge rushers.

NFL S&C is a lot different than BYU. Well, it is in most NFL organizations. We probably have some jackass from Temple running ours.

Strength is the easiest thing to add at the NFL level. Not much you can do if you're not quick enough though.

I agree. And if Christensen is your LT, I think #6 is down to two choices. QB or auction block. Take a QB or trade down.

That whistle had no impact on that TD. The ball was basically on the receiver when it was blown. WOW. Big time answer by the Raiders. In a half that it feels like the Bengals dominated, the scoreboard is going to look a lot closer. Raiders gotta be feeling decent heading to the lockers.

Damn. That was baller. The elite guys can do exactly what you coach them NOT to do and pull it off. Running out of bounds and throwing both across your body AND across the field? Wow.

Yeah it was. High risk, high reward. Worked out for them but could've easily gotten blown up. You're brilliant when it works, a moron when it doesn't. They're brilliant this time.

Well, that throw was nowhere near as good. A tad deeper and that might have been 6.

Damn, Burrow. That was a DIME.

The Raiders' D is keeping them alive. This game could easily be out of hand already.

If receivers can get away with that defense covering becomes impossible.

The Raiders are really struggling to slow down this Bengals pass rush.

Wow. What a fugin moron. *both Robby and that Raiders kickoff returner

Big stand by the Raiders holding them to a FG after they got it in the redzone off the strip sack. Kinda felt like this game might be about to get away from them but they limited the damage. Felt like the blowout might be starting had the Bengals come out of that one with 7.

This storm is gonna be a big time bust. I learned while living in CO and chasing powder to ignore everyone except the NOAA. They're not a public facing agency. They're not trying to drive viewership or clicks, just trying to get predictions correct. On top of this, pay special attention to final tweaks. If amounts trend up, look out. It's gonna be a banger. If they trend down, it's probably going to bust. The final tweaks are usually not aggressive enough likely due to the bias of having watched the models predict otherwise for the days leading up. Up until this afternoon they were staying pretty consistent with 4-10" or 6-12" nearly all snow predictions for Morganton. They're backpedaling now. Hard. Now they're saying 1-3" of snow and some freezing rain.

He'd probably be more willing to patch things up with the Texans at this point.

Well, the "depending on what happens" ship has probably sailed. Rhule is a failure and he's still here. We're connected to bums at OC. Why would any vet QB with any other NFL option walk into this organization right now? Honest question.

Watson already said no to us once. I can't imagine him saying yes now that we're a far bigger dumpster fire than we were then.

We take an OL in the 1st then trade next year's 1st to take some QB in the 2nd "hoping to get lucky" because fug it we're probably going into our last season before getting fired anyway.

More faith than Rhule is saying nothing.
