Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
I really hope we can find/have someone better than Hutson. From what we’ve seen of him he’s a reliable backup who can play 3 positions along the interior but has a ceiling of Majors/Conner ability. We have to get more physical and nasty in the interior. Barron may be the hardest loss to replace. That guy will go in the pantheon at DBU. Hoping based on recruiting profile that Derek Williams has a breakout year next season if he can stay healthy, and lessens the loss of Makuba.

NFL Black Monday Thread/Coaching Carousel
I agree with this. The move to LA did broaden their appeal somewhat in popular culture, but the way the No Fun League has been for two decades simply will not allow a team with the personality and mystique of the old Silver and Black to exist, even if they did win a couple of Super Bowls. I bet merchandising and ratings would go up if they became relevant again, however, in a way that a surge by the Texans or the Bengals would not.

Yep. And they have never been relevant outside Chicago, St. Louis, or Phoenix when they were playing in those cities.

Spencer Shannon seems to have the size to be a force blocking in the run game. Lets hope he can at least catch a little to get on the field.

I think the point about lamenting the Raiders sucking so long is that they are one of the franchises in the NFL that has a real brand cachet, and about whom you can say the league is better when they are good because of their historical significance. This applies to teams like the Cowboys, Steelers, 49ers, and Green Bay that have large fan appeal outside their regional base. It’s similar to the concept of the blue blood programs in CFB. Maybe it’s just because I’m older and remember the 70’s (a little) and 80’s, but even if you weren’t a fan (I wasn’t) the Raiders were the bad ass team of the league. They were more like a biker gang that played football on Sundays, with big personalities, dirty play, and an exciting brand of throw it deep offense and nasty defense. NFL Films had a song specifically about them with an accompanying video that still gives me chills, “The Autumn Wind”: https://youtu.be/Rh6E4Cks1W4?si=gEjlvLmj87JVRhqQ Nobody has ever said “the NFL is better when the Cardinals are good,” or the Seahawks, Falcons, Panthers, etc. Some franchises matter more than others, and I think the Raiders are one of them, but maybe that’s just because of my age. Maybe that brand is just gone forever for fans under 40, but you’ll forgive those of us who still remember it and place a value on it.

Stroh definitely fits the physical profile of what we need on the interior. There needs to be a real focus in the offseason on getting the best 3 G-C-G combination to get some push and run inside zone effectively. It would be great if Daniel Cruz was physically ready at C but that might be asking too much of a RS FR. I can’t tell if DJ Campbell fits that mold, he should given his size and athleticism but he’s been part of the trio that’s played this year. I’d also like to see what we have in Neto.
