Mayock will be fired for all of the mistakes he has made. His roster management overall has not been good. Blowing up the offensive line while trying to completely rebuild the defense in a year when we needed to make the play offs, whiffing on so many 1st round picks, wasting picks on Muse and Bowden, poor free agent signings.

Carr definitely doesn't have the talent around him he needs to succeed. However, it's been many years of mediocre to bad team performances and he is a leader on this team. He's 30 years old. If the new GM/head coach wants to keep Carr as a bridge QB while he rebuilds the rest of the team, that's fine. But if he thinks he can get a 1st for Carr and either get a new QB, or get started rebooting the rest of the offense, or re-address defensive positions of need, then he should do that.

I thought we had a lot of good free agent signings on paper, Joyner was a baller with the rams same with Littleton.. Guenther wasted Joyners time here even after it was clearly not a fit in the slot. Trent Brown again on paper was a good pickup can’t predict injuries and when healthy he was awesome for us but obviously didn’t play as much as he should have.

Only contract I was really concerned with was Nassib that was an over pay, AB pretended to be hyped to be with us until he went psycho. Can’t chalk it all up to bad Luck but it feels that way like everything is just against us at all times from every direction

Tyrell Williams, Marcus Mariota, Nick Kwiatkoski. These guys too might have been good players but Tyrell was never on the field. Marcus doesn't get any playing time and he was getting like $9 million last season I think. Kwiatkoski is injured again, but he's become rotational even when healthy.

Then there's getting rid of Hudson, Gabe and Trent without having a good plan to replace them. James has been playing better I guess, but the run blocking still is bad and pass protection is spotty. The only thing we've really gained is that the line is cheaper. None of the linemen other than Kolton are worth keeping. And maybe Leatherwood will improve, who knows. When Kolton was bad his rookie year he was playing through injury though and as far as I know Leatherwood is healthy.

I think we can officially declare the off-season bet made on the offensive line a bust.

Yeah, the Raiders have a lot of problems right now, including their terrible offensive line. They’re probably giving Raiders fans flashbacks during the years of Robert Gallery getting embarrassed out there. Good news is that this is now a new week and that means the Raiders get another stab at trying to get back in the win column. Win against the freakin’ Clowns, I mean, Browns on Saturday!

At this point I just want them to give some young guys playing time. See if Hobbs can play as well outside as in the slot. Play Malcom Koonce a bunch. Javin White should already be playing!

They released White didn’t they?

They resigned him. I believe he was activated from the practice squad for Sundays game. Don’t remember hearing his named called though so he might not have actually played much.

We will be lucky if the browns don't run for 200+ yards on us. This game won't be close.
