A straight line runner / special teamer over a 3DRB with a history of solid pass catching and pass pro? Lol Dyer should get cut if anyone - not that good at all. Atkinson gone too

Roberts has likely sewn up the 4th string job now, maybe 5th. Nearly impossible to cut him now. So does Holmes make it? Hes more expensive than Butler, and if Streater and Roberts are in, may want a developmental guy over the currently better guy.

Secondary is brutal right now. We will get passed on. Might be time to enact more zones, they cant stay with the WR in the league.

McGloin crushes Ponder and I dont see a reason to keep Ponder on the roster

Sio.. Yikes. Now I hope he's injured, because he is moving slow as hell. Hopefully we can PUP him, if not and thos is who he is now, see ya dude.

I think our secondary will perform better than we think. It is expected that young corners make technique mistakes when playing man to man 75%-80% of the time. I hate zone and think it is worth the struggles early that Hayden and McGill will go thru to see them improve. Hayden has gotten better at staying with his man. McGill just made a bad read and he'll learn from it. We have to stay with it and they will improve more and more. I think by mid season we will be talking about Carrie as a shutdown corner and won't be talking about the other as liabilities.

Just waiting for the news on LB, DE, RB, WR and Oline. What is gonna surprise us/ What will disappoint? How many QBs will we keep? Hurry up Reggie haha...

Bill Williamson on the 'Sio to be traded' speculative bandwagon now as well.. After game 4, I'm expecting it. Maybe Sio mailed it in, maybe he's going to be that speed post-surgery. All I know is that we've seemed to move on from him.

What's a late round pick?

lol if it's a 7th…ZZZZ
if it's a 6th….ok
if it's a 5th…HYFR!

Post #109 » by **FNQ** » Sat Sep 5, 2015 12:26 am

Considering his injury situation, I'm thinking conditional 6th rounder with the chance of it being a 7th based on how many snaps played. Or 5th-6th using the same barometer

So his replacement is Ray Ray Arms wrong?

lol…that's a hole in the roster.

Yeah.. definitely a position that needs addressing. That one 'tackle' on Fitzgerald was all I needed to see. That guy is starting for us :nonono:

Turns out its a 6th.. so, meh

Hopefully Dyer and Fajardo make it to the practice squad.

Sio Moore, IDK what role his hip surgery had in him getting dumped. Not a good look for the retrospective analysis of Reggie's draft record. I think JDR thinks Sio is soft, is too eager to sit out with minor dings and nicks.

Glad to see McGloin stick - funny to see more dead money pile up after all the bloodletting to reduce the Raiders cap number, but it's short term and now they've got to make it to the minimum. Glad they don't let money be the factor in taking low risk/high reward chances on Ponder and Richardson.

Its not Reggie's fault someone speared Sio and he had to have major hip surgery. Not Sio fault either. He was producing up until that point. Compared to every LB chosen after him in the Draft he is a stud. This isn't on Reggie. Injuries happen.

Hate Reggie?

Ignore 2014 and 2015 draft.
Harp on the 2013 draft until the cows come home.

It was a snarky remark in regard to Twink mentioning Reggie's draft record.

Are you asking me if I hate Reggie? That's what you implied by the "Hate Reggie?" And no, I don't.

Why would we ignore 15 and 14 drafts when doing a retrospective analysis of Reggie's draft record. It's more than half of his body of work.
