Credit to the Secondary

Going into the game I think we were all nervous about a dangerous pass offense against a banged up defense that was cobbled together, something that became even worse when Davis and Harper went down. But those guys balled back there, holding Fitzgerald/Brown/Floyd for a total of 90 yards is incredible. McDermott did an incredible job making sure they werent able to pick on McClain and Finnegan, maybe a lot was helped by Palmer's meltdown but that in part was exasperated by the play of our secondary. I'm certainly not expecting the Legion of Boom from them but they more than got the job done.

This was definitely a credit to Jared Allen going down. They were able to gash us a few times running the ball but the young gunners we have at DE... They just kept that rotation of fresh legs coming. 

Hiting the QB, hitting his arm, getting to the ball helped the secondary be Opportunistic. not to take anything from the secondary, they really did a nice job. But the front four played so well that even though TD went out, we didn't feel much drop off.

Can't leave Shaq out of the discussion either. Carolina played a lot of base 4-3 before TD got hurt and Shaq had the slot on lock.

He matched up a lot on Fitzgerald before Davis went out, and won those matchups

Yeah, that was a really intriguing coaching decision, and I loved it. It was working so well, I was a bit surprised they didn't just plug Klein into Davis's role and stick with it.

coaches are saving the best for last, can't wait to see how we carve up that Denver defense next

I hate to say it, Allen not playing was a blessing in disguise for getting us pressure.  Ealy is the future, played great, and yes, CJ was there.  Also, I'm not sure we lose too much with Boston in.  Harper is great in the run, but Boston won't get burnt as much as Harper on passes.

 

But props to Norman as usual, but McClain stepped up (just gotta hold onto those INTS!), Coleman as usual grabbing those INTs, Finnigan was serviceable.  Great job.

      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.
