On to next week... Where we'll face a QB who threw 6 TD's against us last season and that was WITH Breaux.

Neaux, we aren't that lucky...

Where Brees was the greatest free agent signing in the history of the NFL, Byrd is among the worst...

When we signed Brees, he nor our front office had many options at quarterback..

In fact, Nick Saban and the Dolphins made the choice for us by trading for Daunte Culpepper, leaving us to take the leftover in Brees...

So the Mickster hasn't done a spec job of advising, tempering Payton on personnel moves which is why we're scrambling among UDRFAs to find players...

We've wasted picks, combining to move up and then released those players...

And it shows in the lack of results from our front seven which is improved, but obviously needs more coaching and probably more talent...

Completely agree
Id be happy most years if most of the draft was made up of drafting for both the lines and LB/CB. I think you can fid the rest elsewhere. Drew doesnt need out of this world receivers,if you can run a route and get a touch of seperation he will find you. Its nice to have great WR and RB but not at the expense of the trenches and we are seriously lacking there

Oakland O line was playing with 2nd, 3rd string guys due to injury today.

WillSaints81 · 09-11-2016, 09:28 PM

Were they without Osmele?

I like Derek Carr's game. Solid future in front of him.

Like I said in another thread we need to control the big plays. Cooper had catches of 34 and 35 yards and one run by Richards was 75 yards. Sprinkle in a few more and we did pretty good on defense. Never had to worry about the offense just the line and they came through with flying colors

The Raiders secondary will keep them out of the playoff contention.

Cooks beat up on Sean Smith so bad, they eventually benched him.

I can see Cooks beating up on alot of DB's this season. He's speedy gonzales in human form.

No doubt but Sean was getting beat off the line. This guy is all of 6'3 & is no scrub but yeah Cooks is a human missile.
