That video of Romo makes a point...and I do this in Madden, why don't they just put Reece at TE? Run a dual TE set with Rivera and Reece...we certainly don't got the WR's so they might as well run them two at TE, with Holmes and Jones out at WR.

Yeah it a fake jersey that's why hahaa!
Hopefully we can get this W against the chiefs this weekend. They need to implement Reese into the game plan more. He shows the ability to make plays. LM needs to get 20 to 25 touches in the game.

2015 free agent class is stacked. We gotta land one or 2. Suh would b awesome in silver n black. But a "brand" name coach will make things easier....

Our run game has stepped up immensely since the first 4 games.
- Sio was hurt
- Roach was hurt & Burris sucked (he still sucks, but he's getting better & learning the position... can be a rotational/depth player for us)
- Mack & Ellis were rookies
- Tuck & Smith needed to get acclimated to rest of the team
Hell, even DJ being back has helped out the run game.
The biggest difference has been Mack and to a lesser extent Ellis.
http://www.raiders.com/news/article...-Himself/0c9b33ee-ae03-417f-8def-29fc116ee023
The Raiders' defense is so close to being dominant...
1 more DL & a young MLB from the draft would have us looking real nice next season. (A Safety would be nice but beggars can't be choosers)
I'm all for Suh or going OL/DL in the 1st round and MLB in the 2nd.

ERIC. KENDRICKS. MLB. UCLA. BUTKUS AWARD WINNER.
He's all over the damn field, man. Finishes tackles, closes gaps, hardly ever has issues with his assignments. Can check guys faster than him.
He's humble as hell, too. A 3* prospect out of high school (for you non-college fans that's an average high school football prospect basically) who worked his *** off to become an impact player on every down. I watched video of him tearing up when **** Butkus showed up to UCLA's practice to award him the trophy. I'll try to find it and post it in here.
I can't imbed the video unfortunately, but I highly recommend you guys give it a view if you want to see hard work rewarded. It's less than three minutes long.

I think we can get Suh. His agent will be picking the team he plays for next year. Meaning the team that pays the most gets Suh.

Kendricks or McKinney is fine with me. I'd even consider Shaq Thompson... don't know what position he's gunna play in the NFL (probably weakside linebacker) but I want him on my team.

[SIZE4]Who Needs Mariota?
Not the Oakland Raiders; rookie Derek Carr has proved he has what it takes to become a franchise QB.[/SIZE] should do with the possible first overall pick. Many have mentioned Marcus Mariota, which would be a foolish move for Oakland to make.
That’s not a commentary on the current Oregon Duck, but rather, on the former Fresno State Bulldog. True, Derek Carr has not set the world on fire, especially given some of the hard lessons he has had to learn from rookie mistakes (see his first interception in the 52-0 loss at St. Louis). But Carr has also shown the foundational skill set of a future franchise quarterback.
Carr makes adjustments at the line of scrimmage. He throws with conviction and velocity, suggesting that unlike a lot of young passers, he trusts what he sees and is willing to anticipate and attack tight windows. His fundamentals are encouraging though, granted, inconsistent. That inconsistency will abate once (O.K., if) he is surrounded by better receivers and a stronger running game.
Currently Carr’s top target is James Jones, a streaky career-long No. 3 receiver. His best vertical weapon is Andre Holmes, who is still learning the nuances of professional football. Tight end Mychal Rivera runs well and has shown flashes as an intermediate pass-catcher, but he isn’t—and might never be—the type of matchup problem defenses adjust game plans for.
Along the offensive line, it’s been a revolving door at right tackle (the perils of choosing between veteran utility man Khalif Barnes and still-unrefined second-year man Menelik Watson). But overall, the pass protection has actually been very solid. In fact, Carr has been sacked just 16 times on 489 drop-backs; only Brady and Manning have a lower percentage among fulltime starters. That said, the front five’s inability to get a consistent push on the ground has contributed to the feebleness of Oakland’s rushing attack.
Despite the limitations around him, Carr has maintained the willingness to play from the pocket. That’s something many coaches—for example, Jay Gruden in Washington—yearn for with young quarterbacks. Carr has a feel for the subtle footwork required to reset and throw when a receiver needs time. Not having had to make throws like these in college, scouts were unsure whether Carr would be able to do that in the NFL. (His brother wasn’t.) Many of Carr’s best throws have come against man coverage, often when aided by specific man-beater route combinations, which Oakland’s wideouts need.
We saw several examples of this in Oakland’s upset of Kansas City, perhaps none better than Carr’s 19-yard completion to Brice Butler:

I like Kendricks. Will he slide to the 2nd?

I think he's an early 1st/late 2nd prospect. Need to see who's in desperate need of a MLB and would use their first round pick for one.

Nick Roach will be 30 and is not a long term answer. Plugging the defense with young, healthy players is crucial.
