he's not fast enough because he weighs 250 lbs but if you were to have gone up to him in January and say, we want to make you our #2 WR, lose 30 lbs, he would have done it and speed would increase with the reduced weight. I'm not saying it should be done now, but why keep three TEs?

Two reasons:

1. Depth. We lose a TE to injury, we need reliable back-ups.

2. Goal Line stands. When we are on the 2 yard line, multiple TE's are going to help get that ball in the end zone. Be it for blocking or receiving reasons.

I seriously wonder if Rosario is faster than Jarrett. I think Barnidge is -- let's line him up wide.

Rosario can't even make consistent plays against linebackers, and the starter of this thread wants to line him out wide, so he can be blanketed by faster athletes. lol

Barnidge, that might be doable....even then...who knows.

Yeah Fiz has suggested this several times in the past...

My problem with this is that I just honestly do not think he's fast enough to consistently line up out wide and beat coverage. No doubt he has ball skills, can locate it and go get it... But, his speed is good enough to beat most LBs in coverage, but definitely not fast enough to beat DBs in man...

Look honestly, we don't have the pieces on the roster - we have to look elsewhere.

      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.
