Those crying over Spytek not trading for Nelson or Buckner aren't ready for this conversation
One thing that can be overlooked with NFL trades and "getting value" etc is ...
Guys like Quenton Nelson & DeForest Buckner have some say over where they go
No team wants to acquire someone who is predisposed not to re-sign, might not be happy, etc
A team like the Colts could be honoring their wishes to some extent
Raiders aren't facing league-high man coverage because of the WRs
this is far more Cousins related + lack of a run game
Tucker & Nailor both among league leaders in separation vs. man
Cousins more adept at picking apart zones + he's not a run threat
Through seven weeks, the #Raiders are facing man coverage at the third-highest rate in the league on all downs (29.1%) and on third down (42.9%), too.
League average man coverage usage:
- All downs = 24%
- 3rd downs = 34.8%
Per Sumer Sports.
likely either Cody White or Dareke Young gets the boot after Jack Bech is activated
guessing it's White now that his magic seems to have faded and they seem to value Young's special teams ability
Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner are ideal players at Raiders 2-biggest needs, but I get not trading for them
hard to give up picks for players in their 30s on expiring deals at this stage of the rebuild
glad Dont'e Thornton earned a roster spot
i was not at all impressed with what I saw his rookie year. 40 time didn't show up on film and didn't display the body control needed to make his length a weapon
maybe these things show up more as the game slows down for him though

The Raiders have activated WR Dont’e Thornton Jr. to the 53-man roster.
Jonah Laulu’s release was the corresponding move.

Tre Tucker last 2 weeks:
19 targets
10 receptions
200 yards
3 TD
First Raider with 200+ receiving and 3 TDs in a 2 game span since Davante Adams.

“Fernando is going to play at some point, but it’s not going to be this week,” said Klint Kubiak.
#Raiders
beautiful play design from Kubiak on the Jeanty TD catch
got the Rams bonched up with heavy alignment and brings Tucker across the field to open it up deep for Jeanty off the play action
WOW getting the INT right after their first TD. comeback still a long shot here, but this one is not over
this team showing their fight once again. on a day of bad, I love to see that.
should really be a 1-score game now with that failed Cousins-White 4th down
Cousins having a rough day as he forces the ball into a well-covered White on 4th down
Broadcast said Bowers was doubled, but looked like he was breaking open on the out to me.
