So far this season there has been many stories around the nfl . One of the largest has been the rumour that the raiders were listening to offers on all pro Khalil Mack . Raider nation had been hoping these were just rumours but now it seems to have
Raiders are looking for a lot in return for this once in a lifetime talent including 2 1st round picks, and only a few teams appeared ready to hand over that kind of compensation with one team moving out front and gaining the right to negotiate a new long term contract for Mack.
Da Bears general manager Filthyhands has now moved past the compensation for Mack and is looking to pay the man what he is worth!
This story is still breaking and we will inform the shocked raider nation whether the Bears can get this deal done !
The Raiders Season has been a roller coaster with Marshawn Lynch Controlling the up s and downs of the season so far! Lynch has had a big part of the 3 wins so far with a average of 24 carries for 105 yrds and a td in each of the wins but is also to blame on the 2 losses so far averaging 13 carries for 45 yrds and 0 tds..
"We have to be able to win without marshawn if he doesnt get any space to run"Ex-Bc lions coach Wally Buono had to say after this last loss to the 1-5 ravens "
We have tried to address this situation by bringin speedy wr Robbie anderson to stretch the field in the passing game and to make teams pay for putting 8 in the box to stop Marshawn"
"Robbie will come in and play opposite Cooper to give us a 2 wr punch on the outside and Crabtree and his great hands will move to the slot to give us a 3 wr combo that will be tough to match by any other team" wally continued" Then u add in Cordalle Patterson and what we want to do to get him involved in the game plan and we should be tough to stop thru the air".
Another problem htat has plagued the raiders for the last 2 season is the spotty play of there defence. They started to look decent at the beginning of the season holding there first 2 opponents to under 16 points but have surrendered 35 + in the 3 games since which has resulted in a 1-2 record over that span.
"Conley and Melifonwu have been a pleasure to coach but they need to step it up the rest of the season to be a sb contender" Bouno stated after the loss to ravens" but the biggest gain was our biggest loss so far in the trade for Derrick johnson,"
Derrrick johnson who the raiders had traded for at the beginning of the season to fill there biggest void on defence at mlb played 2 great games in week 1 and 2 but broke his thumb in the week 3 game and is out 3 more weeks. which is one of the big reasons why they have gone 1-2 over that span. They are hoping Marquel Lee the undrafted Mlb rookie can continue to grow as a player and hold down the forst till DJ is back.
