I mean you're just wrong about this. 2024 stats (both played 16 games, although Karlaftis played 96 more snaps): Sacks - Karlaftis 8.0 / Rousseau 8.0 Pressures - Karlaftis 37 / Rousseau 35 TFLs - Karlaftis 9 / Rousseau 16 I know stats don't always tell a black and white story but how can you look at that comparison and tell me Karlaftis is a "game breaking talent" while Rousseau is a JAG? There's a tendency on this board to act like everything KC touches turns to gold. But I think their roster has been a bit overrated. Where they really separate themselves from the rest of the league is their coaching. Compared to our roster on the whole I don't think they had some massive advantage last year... And don't get me wrong, I wish we had at least one legit game changer other than Allen, and I haven't been a big fan of how Beane has prioritized certain positions over others. But he has built a roster that has a very high floor if not a high ceiling. It's a roster that has beaten KC in the regular season where it is more about matchups, but has lost in the playoffs where it is more about coaching. If you're giving Karlaftis that much of an edge over Rousseau, and the same for the rest of the respective rosters, you're giving McDermott a built in excuse that he doesn't really deserve.

Elam looked to me like a replacement level CB2. Not a massive liability but still someone you're always looking to upgrade. Kind of like Damar Hamlin for us. Unfortunately the worst game of his career came in the AFCCG so I don't blame us for moving on from him. I don't think our coaches did a good job preparing him for that game or calling plays that matched his skillset. I'm not afraid that we traded a secret superstar but he is a better player than that godawful performance.

Interested to see what kind of role Jaire Alexander has. He hasn't been able to practice with them all offseason as far as I know.

What has George Karlaftis done to be included in this group? You might as well add Greg Rousseau.

You're from Baltimore, right? Have you ever been to Room 40?

Raiders are going to have to play Navy football for that offense to function. They only have 4 WRs on the roster, and Jakobi Meyers is the only one worth a damn.

Seems like Benford is good to go. Coleman limited is not ideal but media reports from the start of practice said he looked fine so not too worried. Bass looks to be trending towards not playing.
