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.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
