Other Team's Cuts


Mr. Scot

3 decent seasons in the Raiders offence suggest there's some talent there.

If he's so good, why didn't the Raiders keep him?

It's not like he got a big payday elsewhere. He signed a one year deal with the Bengals for $825k, and now they've already cut him.

Sounds like there is a little more to it.

Agreed, I'd want to know the backstory.  But, look at what people thought re: our signing Oher & Ginn.  And heck, even Tillman who folks thought was over the hill.  All three are looking like really solid additions for us.  Sometimes it is all about fit.

To be fair, that's asking alot.... 32 teams worth of cuts with the news dribbling in over 2 - 3 days.   There is this site if you just want the names of all who are cut straight up.

I know. I greatly appreciate these threads. I was joking. Please don't think I'm being an ungrateful prick.

If we're talking about picking WRs from other teams' cuts and waives then you'll find yourself asking that question a lot.

if we aim to be a ground and pound team this year AND we're concerned about Stew's health- Jackson would be a valuable addition.

Jacksons blocking ability - probably the best pass blocking back in the NFL - will really come in handy, too.  If you don't believe me, here is JJ Watt.

This came on Jackson getting under Watt to block him last year.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
