    Someone on here use to have the entire oline in their sig, I think it was @Mr Scott, the big uglies or something like that.  I always thought it was cool how they acknowledged a group that generally don’t get much acknowledgment 

    My son recently starting playing OL in 7-8-9 yo league and I'm helping to coach the lines. They don't have enough players so most of them play both ways. My first lesson and something I continue to harp on is the importance of winning at the line of scrimmage. It's a warzone and those battles determine the outcome of the war.

  2. The game is won at the line of scrimmage. The Raiders have Crosby and Wilkens and both were effectively neutralized throughout the game. It was amazing to watch.

     

    If you have the All 22 Access through NFL.com it really highlights the effectiveness of the OL. Andy trusted the protection and was able to make the throws.

    And if we do go 0-17, at least we have a 1st round pick again!

     

     

    True, while I don’t see that happening. I think we’ll wind up in the bottom half of the league, but I don’t think we’ll be competing for the first overall pick.

    This is about refusing to let your DC leave for other opportunities before gutting his unit. 

    How long do we need to wait before pointing that out?

    They’re not obligated to let him leave. We also have no idea about the conversations behind closed doors. We are ignorant more often than we are informed. EE is touted as one of the brightest defensive minds in the NFL, why would you let him leave?

    I imagine if he made it known he was unhappy and wanted to leave then he wouldn’t be here now. New regime isn’t going to force a malcontent to stay and I imagine he’s had quite a lot of input into what’s happened this offseason.

    Still possible we sign a strong C or attack early in the draft. Its and AND for WR, FA and early in draft. 

    Lots of suitors for Higgins. That will be the test, does this team, like in the past overpay for guys or get the money matched well with the talent. If we can get Higgins for a second, then fair, anymore than that and should be a no. Feel like a TE is in the works too. 

    Beyond those I think we chase value everywhere else. Won't try to fix the defense till next year. Gonna be a bunch of shoot out games, that we mostly lose. 

    This year will be all about getting an offensive identity that can score points. 

    One exception, I could see us targeting NT. The quickest way to improve the defense is to quit getting gashed on the ground. Can fix that with a run stopper at LB and a big NT. Those guys can be had for reasonable compensation. 

    He’s old but has been the model of consistency, I’d love to pair Brown with Sheldon Richardson.
