Serious question.

If his name was Stefan Walton, instead of Stefan Wisniewski, would we be as patient and as fond with him?

He lead the O-line in penalties last year, is doing so this year as well, and doesn’t seem that great in the run-blocking area.

Good not great, IMO.

I thought Wiz was a beast last year at Guard. Played well at Center also. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, since he missed a schit load of reps.
+ it takes a while for the zone blocking to get going

^^^^^^^^^
Another screw up by McK. Should have kept Satele on the cheap and kept Wiz at LG and Wiz can also fill in as the backup to Satele at Center.

Brisiel was a way overpaid pickup, when Satele could have been kept at a bargain.

476,

Thanks Blackside. There is debate, as u know, on whether our offense was really that good in the first place last yr.

I have maintained doing as well as we did last yr. on offense (w/o McFadden) and with a QB that was still getting his bearings and only utilizing half the playbook, that we were pretty good on that side and just needed a bit of “tweaking”.

Some feel that our offense needed much more fixing.

DJ,

I think the Raiders’ offense, even without DMAC was fairly solid last year, especially since Bush ran well after DMAC went down.

Also, Hue knew how to use Reece and others in unique ways while Knapp is clueless in that regard.

With tweaking we could have had a dynamic offense, especially since CP has gotten over the throwing of bone headed INT’s.

We could have introduced the ZBS slowly, as another scheme complimentary to power blocking and we would have been set on that side of the ball.

Reggie, DA, etc. would have had to worry about the defense only (for the most part) thus saving us seasons and seasons worth of grief.

^^^^^^^^
Yep. McK and DA screwed up! That is rather obvious now.

Our offense needed an identity from last year.

One week we rush for 170 yards, the next week 50.

One week we score 34 points, the next week 13.

Not saying we gained an identity so far, at least not a good one lol, but you couldn’t count on anything offensively last year.

That happened after we lost DMAC. He was 1st in yards and YPC before he was injured. You can’t say we didn’t have an identity when we were top 5 in rushing yards.

^^^^^^^^^
Exactly!

The team is dead last in the NFL with 60.8 rushing yards per game….

^^^^^^^^
That’s what happens when they change something that wasn’t broken. The offense wasn’t broken last year, they just had major injuries to their starting QB and star RB.
