@TREFF stomach has to be churning with some of the RB performances today

zach zenner 21 for 93 and 1td , 1 catch 30 yards-THink hes a fan of zenner

Jordan Howard 21 for 109 2 tds, 1 catch 5 yards-cant remember if pro howard or anti howard

Alfred Morris 16 for 111 1td, 1 catch 4 yards

CJ anderson 23 for 132 1 TD, 3 catchs for 22 yards

gus edwards 12 for 76 6.3 ypc

doug martin 21 for 100 , 1 catch 1 yard

props to kenny dixon 12 for 117, 1 catch 2 yards

I'm "meh" Howard, Gus sucked ass again minus one run..and the rest? System and luck, and if you get 20 carries and don't hit 100? F'n piss off

So I'm pulling some stats for my personal spreadhseet and ran across this...

Khalil Mack had 12.5 sacks all by himself for the Bears in 2018.
Any guesses how many sacks the Raiders had as a team?

Spoiler

13 - Oakland ranked 32 (last) in team sacks. They next worst teams had 30 sacks. More than twice the amount Oakland had.

Apparently it wasn't enough, somehow 3 teams were still worse..sonsabitches

trust the process

 

[TREFF]

Well my Raiders "process" has proven to be jack shit the past decade or so. 11 picks, 3 in the first this year. Take that #4 grab the best edge rusher, take the other two #1's, trade back up into the top ten, take the next best edge rusher, then load up on LB and DB's. Don't even bother with WR's or a RB, sign a few one year prove it type deals in free agency, there's no shortage of proven vets who will be available, and offensive rookies aren't helping this team next year, but a defensive overhaul might. Come on Chucky, do the right thing

DK Metcalf, come on down, you're up next on Raiders WR Survivor Island!!!!

Probably! And likely a RB too, which, yes they have the need, no doubts, but come on.

Not sure if I'm reading this correctly, and I certainly don't want to pour lemon juice on an open wound, but the Raiders were dead last in sack with 13 total. Next worst teams had 30 sacks.

naw, that's correct, I was referring to overall sucky-ness and the fact that even though that's bad, they still weren't bad enough, 3 other teams have higher draft picks

That still favors the Raiders. Cause how many #1 overall picks work out?

Myles and Mayfield, appear to be working out, Goff, Clowny, Fisher made the pro bowl, Luck, Newton, Stafford, Long, Mario Williams, Alex Smith, Eli, Palmer, Vick..
Since 2000 there's only been JaMarcus Russell, Winston, Bradford and David Carr who haven't been at least "plus" players. And Winston still teeters on might be someday status

The past ten-15 years has a pretty good track record.


But...we are talking about my Raiders, and of course they own the biggest bust on that list

@SmokingMonkey
So are you all settled in in Tennessee?

@SmokingMonkey
So are you all settled in in Tennessee?

A couple more months before we officially leave St Louis behind.
wife wanted to stay in StL to have baby #2 with the same doctor as our first, and I'm smart enough not to argue that. some days I'm home, some days I'm in Nashville, pending what's needed for work. Been hell being away from my soon to be 2yr old and pregnant wife, but I'm keeping my eyes on the prize, short term sacrifices for long term benefits. Hoping we're within 3-4yrs of my wife having a job = optional instead of necessary for our family to pay the bills.

Usually shake my head after watching this guys videos(this ones no different), but rankings this time of the year are pretty rare so its worth a watch.
