Coop has a nagging injury every game of every year, and he isn't a deep threat. Throw in a little "I'm not happy with my QB"

I'm starting to think we should take his salary and find a better option that can run a deep route, isnt hurt by the 2nd preseason game, and just complains less

that on the OC and Line right its what i said if dak cant wait on slow developing routes called BTW by wonderboy moore, well that's the issue, NOT DAK. better run game and OL play fixes this, that 2 deep man with heavy run pressure will loosen us. With a RUN GAME the defense knows what's coming because they are dictating it.
Problem is that they won’t run. You gotta get in the groove. Run up the gut for 1 or 2 yards or maybe a loss. Run one off tackle for few yards. Run here and there even if it’s a predictable run. Run a quick run, nothing that they have to wait on the holes to open. Run a pitch or toss on Tyrons side. Stretch the defenses run defense. Not just up the gut. After 10 or 12 runs this O-Line will begin to get in a rhythm and will begin to open holes and get 5 and 7 yard bursts. Moore won’t stick with it long enough. AND PLEASE QUIT RUNNING PREDICTABLE WR SCREENS.. It gonna get jumped in the playoffs. I remember in the playoffs in 2016 (I think) Dak threw one of his only picks on a WR screen. Was on a scoring drive and changed the game.

This O-Line coach is doing nothing to help. They are playing undisciplined and some of it is because are pass protection 60 times a game. Our O-Line used to love to power run block.. I miss Tooney. Should have kept him as a quality rotational guy.. Bring Colombo back to get these guys aggressive..

Schultz would depend on the cost. he is not a great blocker, but good recieving TE. if we paid jarwin 7-8M/year, then I would get rid of Jarwin and keep schultz at aroudn 10-11M/year which is an average salary for TEs and that would put him at about 10th among TEs which would be about right....and to your point, I would still draft a TE. I think based on need next year, Saftey, LB, Guard/Center, LT, TE, WR in this order probably
Yep and throw in a RB. Pollard is up after next year and we may let Elliot go after next year also. Next year Elliot and D-Law is to much to dump them..

Cooper has problems....

Why did the Raiders get rid of Cooper?

He talked about his disconnect from the offense. “I felt like there are things that I wanted to do out there on the field during the games, certain plays that I wanted to be called and certain routes that I wanted to run that just weren't a part of the game plan,” he said.Jul 2, 2019

The guy has problems and would no matter where he played. He needs to shut up and just play ball. Ever notice he never smiles, always has a gloomy look on his face.

By this logic, they got rid of former DPOY Khalil Mack because he sucked. They actually got rid of Coopet because they were in full rebuild mode with Gruden, trying to get draft picks, particular first rounders. That’s why they got a first for Cooper from Dallas.

So what is this all about?



"Definitely, I don't think it was a good fit for me," Cooper said. "I don't think I was really able to showcase my skills there for whatever reason -- extenuating circumstances, I'll call it. But for whatever reason, I wasn't able to reach my heights and I kind of knew that I needed to be gone in order to do some of the things that I really wanted to do as an NFL player. ... I felt like there are things that I wanted to do out there on the field during the games, certain plays that I wanted to be called, certain routes that I wanted to run that just weren't a part of the game plan."

Sounds like he wanted out of there to me.

Certain plays he wanted to be called......hahahaha!!!!! Dude thinks he's a coach, ha!!!!!

Because we offered them a first round pick and they thought they could do better...they were wrong.

Think about that, who lets a valuable member of your team leave, come on guy.

Amari and his agent knew what they were getting when they signed here.

He should go look at some of his stat lines where he completely disappears and is a non factor. But WRs always think they are above criticism and it's always everyone else as.

Yah, the problem is he is starting to whine the same way here about the same things. Maybe if he wasn’t hurt all the time with hamstrings and foot injuries and all the other soft tissue things they would be able to use him more. Then there are his decisions that resulted in his missing the games this year. Plus, he brings no energy or leadership. And now he whines too, publicly. For 21 million a year ? We can do better. And should.

The ONLY Dallas receiver that I've seen this year that doesn't have flaws....for what is asked of him....is Malik Turner.

Can’t build stats when your QB lacks the ability to throw to you

So why didn't Dez blow up with the Saints or Ravens?

Amari and his agent knew what they were getting when they signed here.

Amari essentially reinvigorated his career here and turned it into a massive contract. I don't see where Dak is 'ruining' Amari's career. Amari was looked at as overrated on the Raiders, hence why they bothered trading him to us.
