Like I said, have to preface with how gr8 RNS is so others know who the real RWX is.

Ford is under rated. Moore should only get better with a camp under him. Schilens needs another shot. Without a camp and with 2 yrs off his cardio must not ahve been great but hes cheap and provides depth and when healthy can make plays and get open in the red zone.

Worth the risk

Chaz healthy? When?

If talking about a players’ ethnicity or race is taboo, then we should use the same standard for all players. ESPN love their Tebow.

LOL!

O, even if Tebow was a black dude with gold teeth & a lisp, I’d still be impressed with him

Re Lamarr Houston, from ProFootball Focus:
“Houston finished the season as our fifth-highest-graded run defender among 4-3 defensive ends while still grading positively as a pass rusher after picking up 27 pressures, putting him in the Top 25 in the league.”

—————

Houston is a key cog in the Raider defense going forward, for sure.

First of all, he’s a 3-tech DT playing LDE. His game is using his leverage to penetrate gaps. He’s not an edge rusher. Linemen with longer arms can run him out of the play. If he’s going to play DE, it needs to be in the 3-4. Or he needs to be a 4-3 DT.

Secondly, Houston is the most fundamentally sound Raider defensive lineman. He’s the most consistent player they have in terms of simply carrying out his assignment and not trying to do too much. If more Raider linemen did that, the run defense wouldn’t be so atrocious.
