Tom Flores is getting into the HOF because of 1980. They should talk about that more. It was probably the greatest coaching job of all-time. I heard a guy from the HOF on Friday and he didn't even mention it. He should of got in last year with Cliff Branch but their presentation was a debacle after Ron Wolfe got sick. They had to bring in John Clayton at the last minute...

Torn labrum for Tyrell Williams. He's going to try to play thru it but we'll see. We could see a 1,400 yard season from Waller. Waller was Football Outsiders top tight end last season and should be even better playing with Carr for a 2nd season. He was Todd Christensen today. I wonder if he cut his sleeves like Christensen used to.

Bryan Edwards, your table is ready.

I can't even guess what kind of season Edwards will have. The floor seems to be a 12 y/r guy with good hands. If he can get separation and be more of a 15 y/r guy that would be huge.

Is Bryan Edwards worth picking up in fantasy?

The Raiders have a lot of targets so not sure how many opportunities he will get. Williams played thru a torn labrum in college and had a 1,000 yard season so I expect he'll start week one. Moreau was their best red zone target last season and he's fully recovered and having a strong camp. If Williams and Waller miss time it could pay off and even if they don't I would expect Edwards production to increase as the season goes on.

Absolutely worth a late round flyer. He should be their top WR this year. If he's not producing and getting a lot of snaps in the first week or two cut bait like you would with any other late round pick.

the caption to that clip should be "we may have us some problems at CB this year" rather than "doesn't renfrow look amazing beating a guy on his last legs in the league"

In Amukamara's defense he's an outside corner covering a slot receiver that had the 7th best separation rate in the league last season. He's not going to start and he may not even make the team because of how well the young guys are doing.

Hook, line and sinker.

The Bears would be fortunate to have Amukamara on their depth chart. Just makes what Renfrow did that much more impressive.

Edit: holy shit, I just checked out the Bears 2020 roster. They would be really, really, really fortunate to have him.

Renfrow's pretty good. Would love him on the Packers. I'd take him over Anthony Miller right now.

He was under contract with the Bears for this year. They cut him and drafted a guy in the second round who is superior to the Raider reach at the same position.

Let's hope Jaylon Johnson doesn't reach for something and blow that shoulder out again.

because if he doesn't, your GM is going to look silly

You better pray he doesn't because your team has no depth. Better be good from the get go, no learning curve.

But that has nothing to do with Damon Arnette's bright future.

Nobody will look silly for passing on Johnson with that 3x shoulder medical. He's the kind of gamble a team normally takes in the 2nd round.

Going back to Renfrow he had a broken rib and a punctured lung and was out 3 games and came back and finished season with 2 100 yard games. 5th round beast. Mayock wins again...

PJ Hall had a sack of Watson in their scrimmage yesterday...Marinelli you dickhead.

This isn't surprising after the reports of how well Arnette looked started coming out. It looks like they'll keep Lawson if they decide to go with 7. I was worried they might try and stash Johnson on the practice squad and he'd be claimed but it looks like his play has been good enough for the 53.

They really seem to like Nixon. Hope he continues to develop.

What do you think of the guard the RAIDERS drafted in the 4th? Some wildly differing opinions out there.

Yeah they seem really high on Nixon I think he's a lock. They might like Nixon and Lawson better than Johnson right now but Johnson has such incredible physical traits they need to be very careful with him. If they try and stash him I think he'll get picked up. He only played one year of CB in college and his size/physical trait metric is the highest of any corner since the combine started. He's been getting some praise in camp so maybe its starting to click already which would be huge.

I've only heard good things about Simpson. Brugler said he was a steal in the 4th when we selected him. I haven't heard anything really from the beat guys though but I imagine that's more because the line is set. I think Incognito and Jackson have been taking all the snaps with the first team and I can't remember if they've missed any practice. We actually have some good depth at guard with Simpson and Good. I would be very surprised if he wasn't doing well.

The only offensive lineman they've really talked about is OT Sam Young who was filling in for Brown. They say he looked really good which is nice because I'm not sure we'll ever see a full season from Brown. They say Sharpe is at risk but I hope not he's pretty decent but I don't know how we're going to fit him in unless they don't go with a backup center. I would keep Sharpe and try and stash the backup center James on the practice squad. Decent backup tackles are hard to find. The Brandon Parker era is definitely over.

I liked the McMillan trade. Where they wanted PJ Hall to eat up double-teams and defend the run first they're going to let Collins rush up field which will create some bad situations the for the linebackers. Actually I don't think they expected Hall to draw 85% of the double teams but Hankins was always the one that got singled up. McMillan is a good thumper so having him play middle in base is a good plan. He's brutal in coverage...not Whitehead level bad but pretty close so he'll only play base and short yardage. The Raiders play base about 20% of the time.

The negative report on Simpson was shortly after the draft in regard to his lack of footwork. Probably an outlier opinion since I haven't anything of the sort since.

Yeah he has heavy feet so he wouldn't do well in systems that ask their guards to do a lot of pulling. With our gap power scheme he's a perfect fit. He's a mauler with some interesting physical traits being upper 90% in arm length and strength which you don't see often. Its a shame there are no pre-season games it would have been nice to see him play even if it was against backups.
