Raiders-Dolphins post game thread

[Oaktownonly]

Offense looked good. Defense could use some work. Always good to get a win. Thoughts?

Been reading about this in a few places. God bless. We may finally climb out of this deep dark hole in the earth that the Browns invited us into.

....the 'little things'......like day and night from whatever that thing we had last year was...

I am over the top happy at how well Glaze did this week. Im not anointing him anything yet, but I do think Dennison coaching him this year over what we had last year gives me hope where I had none before. Having at least a functional RT is so important. I am extremely happy to be wrong about his potential. If I am/was wrong, and I think I was, even though its still just one week and he still has his limitations.

Last year, the year before, and basically every year reaching back through time until we arrive at Gannon. We’ve had guys who put in the effort, but lacked the talent, and even worse, guys who had the talent, but gave shit useless effort.

Worth the listen... includes some info about TB and KC relationship... feedback from conversation with coaches... good stuff and reasonable length of 11:30 mins

Tyler Linderbaum, C, Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders signed Linderbaum to a giant contract averaging $27 million in annual value this offseason. He was excellent in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins, as new coach Klint Kubiak got his tenure started with a win. Linderbaum did not allow a pressure. He was a complete difference-maker in the run and pass games. The Raiders had a positive EPA per designed rush, according to TruMedia. They did not have such a game in 2025.

The Raiders allowed a pressure rate of 22.6 percent on quarterback Kirk Cousins. That was better than all but one game in 2025. Linderbaum looks like he will be a force multiplier for the Raiders’ offensive line. We will see how the Raiders perform against more talented fronts, starting in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers.


Kwity Paye, edge, Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders gave Paye $16 million per year in free agency. He had eight pressures in the Raiders’ Week 1 win over the Dolphins. Interestingly, the Raiders and defensive coordinator Rob Leonard rushed Paye from the interior in Sunday’s game when they got to three-edge-rusher packages. Maxx Crosby and Malcolm Koonce were on the edges on those looks. Paye’s pocket-pushing and motor really played up in these situations. A notable wrinkle that could elevate Paye’s production. It was not something he did often in Indianapolis.

A way on the side note.....

Dylan Parham, G, New York Jets

The Jets won their opener over the Tennessee Titans, and new offensive coordinator Frank Reich was clearly determined to establish the rushing attack in his first game calling plays. The Jets called designed runs on 65.6 percent of their early downs in the first 28 minutes of Sunday’s game, according to TruMedia. Jets backs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen combined for 142 rushing yards on 32 carries. Parham, who signed a two-year, $16 million deal with the Jets this offseason, played a big part in that performance as the starting left guard.

Reich was taking advantage of Parham’s athleticism by using him as a puller. Parham was very good as a run blocker. He also held his own in pass protection against Jeffery Simmons, one of the best interior rushers in football. The Jets have a solid group up front on offense, and they seem determined to lean on that strength in the running game.

So much evidence that Brennan Carroll was the worst offensive line coach in the history of the NFL

[mranquales]

Parham wasn't a bad guard, he's just not big so he gets bullied. He's a technically sound blocker but doesn't have the power to put him in the elite tier. The Jets using him as a puller is smart.

I watched the game, he was also used as a standard blocker and in passing downs. He was fine

Have not looked but other than being Pete's Son, what credentials did he have for getting the OL Coach gig?

He stayed at a Holiday Inn.

I can’t imagine he ever gets another football-related job for the rest of his life above High School. Man is bad bad bad at football.

I was looking at our line and then looked up their sizes on the official depth chart…we have a big line..love it

I know times have changed,but with this scheme they used to be smaller and more mobile…times have changed. We have monsters running this now
