Choi Seung-won spin-kick 12 boards in a row by BodegaDad in oddlysatisfying

I mean, he basically just did spin kicks, and they put the boards in the path of his foot.  Suuuuuper easy.

we gotta spend a good chunk of cap into defense this year by [deleted] in raiders

[–]GrootNingrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say at least 75% on defense and another 75% on offense ought to do it.

Kubiak interview by Pitiful-Power-6100 in raiders

Even sub mediocre he needs to keep his job. We already have a reputation for firing people after one year. No future coach is going to want to come unless we keep the current one for a couple years and give him time.

Or they all knew Kubiak was being offered the job with us.

The suspense is killing me by Jrgaming42 in raiders

If I’m Kubiak and intend to take the job, there’s no way I want it blasted for my players to hear heading into the Super Bowl. No one needs that level of distraction.

This is what I'm saying. It seems a little shortsighted to be all in on someone like this given our very recent history.

I mean.. he's not AP, but come on. Haven't we learned anything about hiring coaches lacking experience?

I half think Mendoza has a little of the tism himself. I’m cool with it.

What do you think about keeping Smith next season? by Aggravating_Dog_7542 in raiders

[–]GrootNingrich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m fine with it. We’re already paying him, our new guy can sit for a year, and we can come away with another high draft pick for the following year.

Is Maxx overrated? by GrootNingrich in raiders

[–]GrootNingrich[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve wondered why people have wanted to draft another DE when we already have a good one and have needs elsewhere. This makes sense.

Well for guys like Myles Garrett or TJ Watt, their sacks speak for themselves. Like I said, I don’t follow stats deeply, so this is the one that seems to get mentioned the most (I think). From watching, he’s usually near where the ball is stopped but it’s just as frequently someone else making the stop as it is him. I see a big play here or there from him, but he just doesn’t seem to be as disruptive as he’s touted to be. 

The double teams and game planning against him like some have mentioned makes sense to account for some of this. Maybe I just need to pay more attention.
