I’ve seen the same thing. He looks like he could be an all world OLB, but he doesn’t seem to tackle well especially when the play is coming right at him. His ability in pursuit and in pass coverage jumps out at you but if he plays MLB he’s still gonna have to show he can be stout when the play is up the middle right at him.

I'd love to have Mack, but I wouldn't trade our 1st rounder. Even with Mack, it's most likely a top 5 pick. That's too much for a non-QB you'll also have to pay $20m per year. I'd give them our 2nd rounder in 2019 and a 1st in 2020.

Good for him. Dude seems like a diva but can’t deny he’s the most electrifying player in the league. He’s probably already earned that money from the jerseys he’s sold and eyeballs he’s drawn to the TV.

McCarron has a 2 years and 6m left on his contract with basically no remaining guaranteed money. Very trade-able contract.

Wood retiring and Icognito going crazy was out if their control, but you get what you pay for. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/positional/offensive-line/

I’d like to thank the Bengals for that butt-whooping. Exposed a lot of this team’s problems. Probably hard to tell how bad the pass rush is vs that horrible O-Line in practice and vice versa.

Did we get a hand much less a hit on a Cincy QB the entire game? It’s not just Lawson. Our DT’s get zero penetration. Not hyperbole to say we have worst pass rush and worst O-Line in NFL.

The Offensive Line is an embarrassment. How does this OL coach still have a job?

Kind of bizarre that Jets interest in Mack trade is so public. Maybe they are leaking to drive up the cost for a team in their own division. Higher demand means higher price. That said, I can’t see Raiders trading Mack to an AFC team unless no NFC team is making a compelling offer.

Because Raiders can use the franchise tag next year if they dig in their heals.

He actually could have a huge say because no team is trading away a 1st rounder for somebody they can’t sign long term. That said, I’d think he’d be alright signing with any team willing to give him a huge contract.

Appreciate what Tyrod did for us, but dear god that 2 minute drill brought up terrible memories. He just doesn’t seem capable of getting up to the line quickly and making passes down the field.

3rd and 21...Tyrod doesn’t even look downfield. Immediately dumps it off for 5 yard gain. Winning!

Jackson can’t throw from the pocket. Looked good on TD when they rolled him out. Almost feel like Baltimore drafted him to light a fire under Flacco’s butt than anything else.

Hard to think of an MLB past or present built like him. Edmunds built more like a giant safety than a traditional MLB. NFL is a passing league but teams are gonna run up the middle until Edmunds proves he can hold up.

Jackson gonna get killed in NFL running around like that.

Luck never had a big arm, but now he looks like he can’t throw the ball through a paper bag.

I think some people underestimate what an elite pass rusher can do for your team. Hughes is a decent pass rusher but he isn’t disrupting offenses on a consistent basis. If Raiders deal Mack, I really hope Bills at least make an attractive offer.

Darnold a poor man’s Andrew Luck?

That Fede guy was one of the few D-Lineman getting up the field last night. Not sure what the numbers are gonna be on the DL, but out of the non-lock guys up front, he was the most noticeable. We need Murphy healthy ASAP and/or get Mack here somehow. Run defense seemed to be everyone’s main worry from last night but we will get torched by good QB’s if we give them 4 or 5 seconds to throw on majority of drop backs.

Yes, Allen is a little raw, but the best QB’s in NFL make you cover the whole field. Allen can make every throw. Darnold seems like a guy that can’t beat you outside the numbers.

I kind of like that some of these DB’s are going after Allen before he even plays a game. Tells me they’re already worried about him and what he could become. You don’t talk trash against a guy you think is gonna be irrelevant. And it gives Allen some extra motivation.

I’d almost be surprised if Mack isn’t traded. Not saying it will necessarily be to the Bills but Gruden’s giant ego combined with Oakland’s cash problems give Mack all the leverage. Gruden thinks he doesn’t need him and Davis can’t pay him. Can’t see them passing up an attractive offer.

I think Hughes and Bills 2019 1st rounder trumps any of those Green Bay offers. This is where everybody predicting Bills as a 4 or 5 win team actually helps us. And Hughes has 2 years and $13m left on his deal. His sack numbers are down but that’s a team friendly deal for a guy who pressures the QB.

Seems to be a lot of delusional reporters as well then.
