two unrelated topics that struck me today:

 

1) Charles Johnson is still playing hard even if he hasnt gotten a sack yet. our ESPN beat writer wrote a pretty goot article this morning about Johnson that gives me hope he will rebound:

CJ has been doubled teamed most of the time, and has started slow in the past en route to a career season. He is coming off a hamstring injury that had him sidelined all through camp. i am not worried about him. he'll rebound.

 

2) for all the injuries we've had lately, the only players listed on the injury report as of yesterday were Stewart, Tolbert, and Davis. yes, these guys are integral parts of our team. But can their absence be made up for at least in part? yes i think so, with the exception of Stewart. what do you all think? i would elaborate more but i have to get to class

I kind of figured with Hardy out that CJ will suffer a little. I really haven't been paying attention to see if he has been getting doubled so I really can't comment on it. When does Frank come back? I am not saying he is Hardy but he will help nonetheless. Notice Addison is getting is sack total up so somebody is getting doubled.

Yeah CJ just doesn't seem to be playing with the same motor that he usually does and his patented bull rush doesn't seem to be nearly as effective.  He did miss some time though so hopefully he gets back in the groove soon.  I really hope Ealy can get it going soon as well.  His lack of playing time is disconcerting.  This said, I really only give defense the blame for giving up 23 points against the Steelers. 

 

I think our biggest problems are on offense.

Thomas Davis is a HUGE blow. TD and Luke cover a lot of ground. Blow to both the run and pass D.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
