Zach Miller, TE

I have read virtually nothing about whether the Raiders were going to sign him but he's probably the best TE available right now. Better than Greg Olsen, too.

I think we should go after him before Braylon.

i doubt that hartsock is going to keep us from going after a receiving TE. hartsock is a blocking TE. shockey only being on a 1 year deal shouldn't be much of a deterrent to us going after a top TE either, it's only a one year deal.

that said, i'd be surprised if we went after another TE. i'd love it if we did that, though.

What? Have you lost faith in Gary Barnidge?

No, Zach Miller is just too good to pass up.

whats with you and TE's

When the coaching staff spends the entire offseason talking about how important it is to have a good TE, it's probably a good idea to make sure you have a good one. I like our TE's, but as I already said Miller is better than all of them and it's not really close.

lol its a valid question. jeez you people.

it seems that everyone here is fine with Barnidge and Rosario who have been "poised to break out" for what seems like every year now. oh, then there's that Jeremy Shockey guy who is obviously the most reliable TE ever and surely won't have injury problems.

I mean fug, guys. You DO realize how important the TE is in a Rivera/Chud offense, right? You do realize how much a good TE helps a quarterback, right?

Sorry for wanting to improve the leagues worst offense.

A TE like that could become a best friend for Cam now and in future years. If the price is right it would be a good pick up for us.

Raiders will probably give Miller like 9m a year.

If they weren't over the cap they might..

I don't really like FA spending on guys but TE is usually a good position that translates team from team..I'm not saying go get him but I wouldn't be mad about it.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
