Not a great statement about Dont’e Thornton, Kubiak not giving an answer. If #Raiders don’t activate his season is done
It’s a talent issue, but Dennison isn’t a great OL coach either. Can’t only blame coaching but the #Raiders have to get things right talent & coaching (Dennison will help development at minimum)
Carroll was awful, players holding a meeting after practice to get on same page

Nailor has disappointed, but this is also a throw I don’t think Cousins can hit. Doesn’t have the arm strength to go opposite hash or tight window
Defense runs through your DTs in pass rush, run defense, coverage. Just all runs through the IDL
#Raiders gotta make it an emphasis, you can scheme around bad WRs, but you can’t scheme around bad DTs
Kirk doesn’t threaten anything, he’s had his time but teams are dialed in pretty well on him and #Raiders limited offense
Want to open things up, put in Mendoza, won’t automatically change things but it will ease the stress slightly. Less press, defense to respect out/boots/PA
Points to a coaching issue, Dennison hasn't coached the OL in nearly half a decade. #Raiders have some talent on the IOL, but have to get some coaching right this off-season
Kubiak couldn't get his guys with the late start, that will change this year.
Treydan Stukes is a fine FS, but if the #Raiders really want to utilize him to his strengths they'd slot him into the nickel/bandit role near the LOS, let him play off ball and man up TE
He's a fine FS, but he can be a very high end defensive player in a bandit role
Yeah Tre Tucker isn't walking out of the #Raiders building this off-season. Probably looking at 3/48 at minimum but he fits the offense so well
Don't care what you paid Nailor, you pay Tucker
Can see Kubiak keeping the offense so bland and basic, Cousins can't move enough to run OZ/stretch concepts, can't hit anything opposite hash, can't push the ball downfield.
#Raiders stuck running duo, IZ, counter and predictable short yardage concepts. Mendoza has to be soon
Needs to hold onto that, but Kirk Cousins is asking his WR to come back to the ball on an out breaking concept, which isn't easy
#Raiders need a QB change sooner than later, Cousins lack of arm strength showing today, DBs able to break on the ball easy hash to sideline.
Kubiak, Omar Young, Janocko someone needs to get Ashton Jeanty to stop dancing around in the backfield, he's running patient which has never been his thing
Hit the hole with conviction, stop playing games with the damn LBs. OL can't hold long, get into the run and go
If you're the #Raiders and don't want to play JPJ at RG that's fine, but it can't be Caleb Rogers either
Trey Zuhn deserves the chance to get some run at guard
