Do we miss Pep?

I would say no! The run defense is better, as well as the pass rush. All against very good O lines. How refreshing to see guys giving 100% on every play. Now if our DB's could catch or in that case our receivers, we could have won both games. I really like the energy of the Defense and they are playing as a group, not as individuals. :D

Having a player like Julius Peppers is ALWAYS an asset. It forces opposing teams to game plan around him. Even then, the best laid game plan, peppers can tear apart. Just ask Gruden.

That being said, like I've been saying ever since we purged the roster, that we've been needing to go young across the d-line for a few years now.

I like the young energy, and their desire to prove themselves.

Our defense is the youngest it's been in years, and that's a good thing. Younger, faster, more energy. All good things.

      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.

      Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.

      BREAKING NEWS: Trevin Wallace out for the year

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
