Week 4 Raiders @ Chargers Game Day Thread / Post Game Discussion

[Boltjolt]

Man, more and more it's looking like chaincrusher is that poster that was banned several years ago (whose name I forget) because he: 1) Was always correct (in his own mind, at least); 2) Posted long, overly wordy responses to "prove" his point; 3) Had to *always* have the last word. Too many similarities to just be coincidence, IMO.

Chain is obviously a defense attorney who is bent on defending Tyron Johnson while spearing Palmer who is just a rookie who gets very limited snaps and will continue to get those till we have an injury at WR.........which none of us want to see, but Chain is right(in his mind) as long as Palmer gets those 5 snaps a game and they dont throw to him.

Its all about opportunity. If you dont get any, you cant fully show what you have.

I dont know who you are refering to as the long winded poster. We have had plenty of those over the years. Last one i recall is YubaKing. Not sure you were around when he was here.

As long as our OL stays healthy. If they dont that will sink us. The depth is weak

Which was least secure: Raiders offensive line pass-blocking or Raiders secondary coverage of Tight Ends last night?

Derwin is Keenan's dawg.

If you enjoy a serious, measured critic of the Chargers performance, this by Jim Trotter, is it.

Also, when Carr runs his mouth pre game, he better not lay an egg.

Yep...to refer to L.A. as a "home game", even if there's some truth to it, is not the kind of bulletin board material a coach likes to see...

So why was Merrill undrafted?

Poor metrics mainly due to short arms. "They" thought he'd easily be controlled by longer armed linemen. Let me rephrase.."I thought"

Just based on paper yes I AGREE there's no way a 6-0 dude will control the line like a legit 3-4 NT should against NFL double teams. No way! He's UDFA and that's coming from me.

.....But hearing the hype from the freakin powder blues forum members, checking the tape, and hearing reports from our camp dude probably has something to offer. Remember not many teams are implementing the 3-4 anymore. I think we got lucky plain and simple. If he pans out as a solid rotational player for us then we sorta found a gem here. I mean the Raiders had less than [edit] 60 rushing yards.

You gotta love Staley’s in game adjustment after the wideouts were taken out most of the game.

Is that what Gus uses to patch together his Picket Fence Defense?

I agree, Carr should have waited after he won the game before making the comment.
