Raiders Charger first matchup post game thread

I guess someone has to start it.

Poor 2025 drafting. Should have taken Membou in the 1st. Rattledge or Savaneia in the second and Skattebo in the third. Skattebo behind that line would outperform Jeanty behind this line. The chargers did it right with their high picks. Slater then Alt. Theyre set for the next 10 years in the most important position to fill. Only then do they get Hampton. We get 2 non factors in Jeanty and Bech. BPA does not account for position value.

Really good breakdown of what went wrong in this game

What I’ve gathered from this: put JPJ back at center. That will solve 50% of our oline issues. Meredith and parham were pushed into Genos lap all night.

Our Guards are so bad and Meredith can’t snap the f[raiders_icon]cking ball.

Parham should be cut.

Why do peeps make a 30 effing minute video when it could have been done in 10? Attention whore, he's on the screen more than the game. 5 minutes in he's at the first drive of the second half, coulda wrapped it up in another 5.

I guess the conservation of words is sacrificed by getting the video up as quickly as possible while the topic is hot.

Epic failure by the administration not to fix our OL. Our 2 biggest weakness were OL and LB (considering the depth we lost). The FO gets accolades for their work with our LB'ers (best corps we have had in an eternity). They did not have to do anything drastic to get this done. Why couldn't they do this to the OL? Parham should have been cut last season. How the f[raiders_icon]ck does he not only make the team, but starts again. I am really thinking the rabbit ears on Papa Pete's black and white Zenith were not working. Here is hoping this OL does not ruin Jeanty.

It really is inexcusable. I keep going back to the Bech pick in the 2nd round. Man i liked the pick at first but I'll now admit that it looks to have been the wrong choice. That pick absolutely needed to be used on a guard.

I've been saying for years, since we decided to experiment with Andre James at center...taking a guy who has never snapped the ball and having him learn that skill at the pro level is a recipe for disaster. I don't care how good Jordan Meredith might be at making line calls, the primary job of the center is to SNAP THE BALL. You want a guy who's developed that skill for many many years, to the point that it's second nature. It's no different than WRs who can't catch at the next level. They will never magically just figure it out against the best competition on Earth.

From what I remember we had the worst run blocking in the league last year, no? Not saying this year’s version is anything to write home about.

It’s practically the same personnel so I can only assume the new regime hoped they could coach them up better than last season. So far the answer is no as the personnel simply isn’t good enough.

Our personnel isn't the best in the league, that's for sure. But what a good coaching staff does is get average players to play to their full potential. Most players are called average because that's what they are. If our present coaching staff can't get more out of them than the clowns we had last year, then it'll be another year of looking forward to the 7 month stretch in which no games are being played.

The players full potential might be average play to begin with

Sometimes coaches have to put their egos aside. I'm sure all coaches think they can turn a player around. That being said, it is shortsighted (and actually dumb) to think a coach can turn a player like Parham from shit to ice cream.

Miller, Meredith, JPJ, Glaze, ?



If whomever our Swing Tackle isn’t good enough to start at RT, then sign someone like Wilits or someone else. I’d rather have a subpar RT than an IOL thats so weak you can’t get a 4 yard run without breaking multiple tackles. It’s not like Glaze is elite on the outside anyways.

Maybe it's time to see how Caleb Rogers would hold up.
