they switched to a 3-4. so if Houston pans out...yeah they have the best 3-4 d-line in the NFL. I think if the Raiders have an offseason and draft like they did this year next year...they will be playoff contenders.

The raiders are sticking with a 4-3.

The Raiders are trying to replace Gerard Warren, released in March. Henderson is expected to play alongside Tommy Kelly in Oakland's 4-3 base alignment.

They have defense, but they kind of always have a defense. They just field the worst offenses in the league.

the run game isnt the worst. Darren McFadden needs an o-line, and Michael Bush just needs the ball in his hands at all times and he could be the next Jerome Bettis. If Jared Veldheer, their 3rd rd pick, is a beast and starts at LT, their vertical passing game could be one of the best in the league especially with all the speed they have out there. Darrius Heyward-Bey, Louis Murphy, Jacoby Ford, and Johnnie Lee Higgins.

This is what happens when you've had a Top 5 pick in every years draft since the Clinton administration.

Even for the Raiders under Al Davis' control, having the #1 or 2 draft pick every year they are eventually gonna have a team full of talent... eventually. It's just taken them a decade+, cause unfortunately for them those "top" draft choices dont always work out for the best. Sad thing is, this season, their offense is still probably gonna finish in the bottom third of the NFL and Tom Cable is still a complete nutjob so thats gonna squelch any playoff hopes they may have had coming into this season right there.

Just somthing interesting in the offseason.

All of this for a base 4-3 defense.

Lamarr Houston LE-6-3,305

John Henderson DT-6-7,335

Tommy Kelly DT-6-6,300+

Richard seymour RE-6-6, 310

Those guys should be stout against the run but i wonder how much pressure they will put on the passer. None of them are all that quick or agile. Most of them are more used to 2 gap contain then they are 1 gap attack.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Derek Carr Retires

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
