Raiderstation

Ok maybe this doesn’t need its own thread but the deadline is 5 weeks away. I know the next couple weeks will determine if we are buyers but let’s say we get to 5-2 do we make a move?

I really wish we still had Jakobi here but it sounds like a few guys might be available…

Brian Thomas Jr
Marvin Harrison Jr
Jerry Jeudy

Thoughts?

Possible chance JPJ will go to another team as a starting center; at the moment with the raiders he should be the backup center for the Raiders, but I don’t think he is

Let him. It's obviously not going to work out here

For sure. People are always afraid of letting go of players in case they succeed elsewhere. If its not working here no sense in hanging on to them

I think JPJ is too dumb to be a good NFL center. He's too fragile to be a reliable NFL guard, but he has a better chance of somehow finding health than discovering his inner genius.

either way this goes "im fine with it"

Another factor that's not being considered is that no one wants Maxx Crosby as bad as Raider fans think. One first round pick was vetoed. Everyone except most Raider fans can see that Crosby is overrated. He never makes plays when the team needs it.

Every decent lineman gets doubled that's no excuse to not have an impact. A FA LB has already surpassed him in defensive impact.

He purposely oversell his passrush wins and pursuit of the QB when he knows he won't catch him. He will purposely blitz the wrong run fit gap and run past the RB to make it seem like he just missed the tackle when it's obvious the lineman let him through on purpose to take him out of the play.

Because he loses weight every year he now gets stonewalled by TEs. In reality both of our lines would be upgraded if we were able to trade Crosby for Ioane Vega and have a larger Paye and Crawford play the edges.

From the article:

“ In the days leading up to this year's Nov. 10 deadline, a team always could check in on Crosby and inquire about what it might take to try to trade for the five-time Pro Bowler.
But those potential calls have not yet occurred, and if they do, they are not expected to change the Raiders' stance. They certainly won't change Crosby's.”
