That McMahon press conference was fascinating. I've never seen a coordinator answer press conference questions like that, he wasnt just spouting a quick answer, but actually explaining things like a coach. I wish more coaches did that publicly. It also seemed like Graham was a lot more enthusiastic than previously.
Maybe I'm biased cause I was Army and went to about 6 Air Force games, but I like Trey Taylor more and more the more I know about him. Some say practice squad, but I think if you do then someone will sign him. Tough decisions, lots of depth. Wish we could keep 60!
I hope that Hondo is right about Parham. I thought that he was weak at run blocking and got pushed around too much last season. Seemed like he got in the way of DTs but did not move them
I listened to Maxx Crosby’s podcast with Aiden and could not shake the feeling that he reminds me of Tom Brady. I’ve kind of always felt that way, he just has a presence where he’s dialed in and unbothered by the pressure of the moment.
I always thought it was weird Josh mcdaniels staff moved dylan parham over the left side in the first place. Dude played on the right side his whole college and nfl career up to that point when we brought in alex bars. I think it goes to show how much better this staff is already since they're putting him where hes more comfortable.
It’s cause morons like McDaniels are so arrogant, they think they’ll make something work because they think they can shove squares into circles. Especially with OL and defensive players. Just look at the defense last year. Night and day after AP and Graham coached players to their strengths, changing up schemes, etc, to get the most out of their players talent, instead of their mandate from McDaniels, to shove squares into circles. It’s like the GMs/coaches who keep drafting man corners, thinking they’ll make them zone corners. Rarely works but they keep trying it. It’s the craziest malfunction with coaches at the NFL level. We don’t see it in college very often at all. For example, Ohio State recruits certain types of WRs and LBs to play their schemes. Year after year after year, and it works. In the NFL, many coaches and GMs are so arrogant, they’ll take over a very physical, power running, play action offense, NOT change any of the personnel, other than a couple skill position players, and try running a spread offense. Now while I’m exaggerating a little, 90% of the time, that’s why coaches fail. They rarely are gonna be able to flip their entire team personnel wise, but flip their entire scheme. When what they should do is have a goal to reach their scheme completely, but until they have the players to play that scheme completely, they need to adjust their schemes. Unfortunately they refuse to do it, and it’s OL and defensive players who suffer the most because of it. They’re expected to be able to play all these different schemes, way more than skill players are. It’s why McDaniels will never be a great head coach. Well that and he’s just not a very likable person. They have all these complex schemes in their heads, but fail to realize basics still work. It’s why guys like Harbaugh usually always win too. They come in and get back to basics. It’s why teams like the Ravens and Steelers win year after year after year. Whether they have great QBs or not many times. They draft players who fit their schemes to a tee, rather than drafting a great player, but only getting 80% of the player, because they play him in a scheme or position, he doesn’t excel in as much. Then if they do draft a player who has other skills, on top of what they need, they’ll add things to their defense or offense, that allows that player to contribute even more. That’s why we should be so excited about where this team is heading. Very few teams seem to copy that Baltimore/Pittsburgh way, but we’re seeing it now in Detroit, and so far with the Raiders. We know it’s gonna continue too, because AP is from that Marvin Lewis tree. Marvin’s addition to this staff cannot be talked about enough. It’s that Baltimore philosophy and we should all be ecstatic, because if they stick to it, in 10 years the Raiders will be viewed the same way. As a franchise who’s in the playoffs more than not, and always has their eyes on the prize. So hopefully, and it looks that way from what Hondo is saying, they’re going to put Parham back in the position he excels at the most, rather than continuing McDaniel’s mistake. I’ll wager he won’t be the last player from that regime, we’ll see excel even more under this coaching staff.
Lmao i had my eyes on another screen listing to Uncle Hondo do "Chucky" and it was actually very good, Great job as always thank you for the Honest reporting of our Raiders GO RAIDERS!
I should’ve turned josh mcdaniels pressers into a drinking game every time he said umm you know was a shot would’ve been drunk in the first five minutes
Most fans rank, rate, judge, or whatever you wanna call it, how a team is built, and it’s expectations, with high draft choices, high end signings, etc, etc. Whether it’s stuffing circles into squares or not. It’s the biggest mistake fans, media, and even owners, GMs and coaches make. Every once in awhile, we have teams like the Patriots, but more so the Ravens, Steelers, and now a team like the Lions, who are really good because they acquire players who “fit” what they want and do. Not so much system players, but guys who’s skillsets fit with what those teams do. For example, how many times have we seen free agent signings from the Ravens and Steelers not work out with their new teams? Patriots too. Tons of them. Even further, those teams don’t seem too upset when they lose players because they don’t wanna pay them what they’ll get in free agency. Baltimore does it yearly. Just drafts players who fits what they need physically and style wise, and then it’s “next man up” at every position. That’s what we’re finally seeing with the Raiders. That’s how they just drafted for the first time in decades. Just look how certain players improved overnight with AP instead of McDaniels. Look how Jack came in and dominated almost. He was cut by NE ffs. They’re putting players in positions to succeed. Not forcing circles into squares. So while fans are screaming to draft a certain big name player in round 3, the Raiders may have had zero interest in that kid in round 7, because he wouldn’t fit what they do. Where a kid like Glaze might fit what they want perfectly. It’s why you never see Pittsburgh or Baltimore fans complain much about their picks anymore. They just trust their team, knowing they’ll likely fit perfectly. Telesco seems to recognize this. So it was smart for him to be all-in with drafting players who fit “OUR” system. Players who may not play well in LA or KC but will be very productive football players under AP and Graham. So right now, we really do need to trust what these guys (running this team) are doing. For example, everyone’s been screaming to sign a starting corner. They don’t seem too nervous about it. Do they just know Bennett is gonna have a break-out season? Maybe so. The Ravens and Steelers have been consistent playoff teams, with or without a franchise QB for 25 years now. Because this is what they do. Starts at the top though. Mark has to keep this regime together. Don’t panic with a bad season here or there. If players are performing for a certain coach, you keep the coach.
If everyone's healthy, then identifying the starting O-line is going to be a very difficult decision with a lot of sleepless nights. I'm glad I don't have to make that decision.
@@chrisfrancis6101 I'm sorry, but Fran Tarkenton did it. Roger Staubach did it. Terry Bradshaw did it. Randall ran the ball as a runner more, but scrambling to throw on the run was definitely done before Cunningham.
We're learning that Justin Fields may be a difficult player to train. Arrogant. Doesn't respond well to coaching. Getsy - to his credit - got incremental improvements out that offence year on year - they never went backwards. As you've said - Looking at Green Bay is much more useful.
Sounds like hondo annoitting Telesco as the next Al Davis . Let's keep in mind 10 years with chargers. He couldn't win enough there to get them 10 fans

Dude was fired up about the rule change, u love to see it
Yeah my man PG was smiling and laughing the whole way through
Great Interview with Amy Trask!
I heard that AP said that AOC remade his body. He is a very hard worker and smart. Gonna surprise a lot of critics this year
This team is being soooo underrated.. I CAN'T WAIT for us to start smashing faces!!!!
RN4L 💀
Great John Gruden impression! I love how you share your insiders information with us, honest and accurate
In depth and thoughtful analysis once again from our "Main Man". Thank you for the unbiased and well-considered information Hondo!
Thanks Hondo, this is a great sign. Sold Out. We gonna win some games we’re not supposed to. Starting wit the Ravens. Yea I called it. Go Raiderzzzzzz
Maybe I'm biased cause I was Army and went to about 6 Air Force games, but I like Trey Taylor more and more the more I know about him. Some say practice squad, but I think if you do then someone will sign him. Tough decisions, lots of depth. Wish we could keep 60!
I am sooooo ready for Raiders Football 🏈… I need Raiders Football 🏈. Life is better with Raiders Football 🏈.
Glad to hear that Koonce is feeling confident in himself and he his coaching younger players up. He is in a contract year - he is ready to play big
Good to hear guys are enjoying breaking it down for the new guys, that will pay dividends
as always ty for the Raiders content!
Thanks Hondo!!! You rock
Tyree is gonna ball this year. Full year of health and off season will make a big difference in his preparation
I hope that Hondo is right about Parham. I thought that he was weak at run blocking and got pushed around too much last season. Seemed like he got in the way of DTs but did not move them

Mayer and Bowers in 2 TE sets gonna beast out!!!

Loving this Praying Always GO Raiders and Thank you I believe Raiders Raiders Raiders 9/8%11/6 Raiders Raiders Raiders
Appreciate you Hondo
🙏🏼💪🏼
Lmao i had my eyes on another screen listing to Uncle Hondo do "Chucky" and it was actually very good, Great job as always thank you for the Honest reporting of our Raiders GO RAIDERS!
Always appreciate your insights, Hondo 🙏🏼☠️🏴☠️
Hope they sign a FA CB. I am not sold on Bennet and get Stanford Routt Fabian Washington vibes off him. Not a fan after watching him last year
John Elway was the best I seen throwing on the run
In the first 6-7 years of his career he was a one man army Howie used to chase him around the entire game and never seemed to catch him very often.
Thanks for the scoop UNC ⚔️⚔️⚔️
I should’ve turned josh mcdaniels pressers into a drinking game every time he said umm you know was a shot would’ve been drunk in the first five minutes
Hondo vs. Caliendo in a Gruden impersonation contest. PLEASE make this happen!
If Taylor is the business, then that's good news for the Raiders, but bad news for either Pola-Mau or Chris Smith II.

The offensive line needs to be flexible to combat injury impact, I hope JPJ will get snaps at C in the preseason

Look, AP is the BOSS. Telesco is the top talent Scout.

Tom is a young Temple Grandin 💪
Randle Cunningham! Was very good of run and gun!
How many rings?
Randall was a career 56.6% completion percentage and had 207 TDs to 134 INTs - a 1.5 to 1 TD to INT ratio. That's not a sign of great accuracy.
@@andrewwelham8633 but yet one of the first to do it! That was the observation. He had a knack to through on the run.

@andrewwelham8633 dude ... I just said that he did too! So what is your point here! Your trying to make an argument! Grow up

First! :)
Stop explaining the obvious . My god we get it!
I have to put in a word for Aaron Rodgers as best thrower on the run as well.
Elway
Warren Moon
It SEEMED that MCDANIELS came here , to DESTROY the "RAIDERS BRAND !

That's why I never listened to one of mc clowns press conferences
Palpable..

Then skip forward 10 minutes Sparky
