Had high hopes for Tyree Wilson, adding him to a lineup with Crosby and Jones was looking like a nice edge rush.
With Jones gone we have still not asked for much out of Wilson, and he still seems to be behind the 8ball. Has improved getting off the line but his football IQ just does not seem to be there.
By this point I would expect to see raw talent with lack of feel for the pro game. But neither has presented him self. Recently read his scouting report out of college and it was fairly accurate, slow off the ball, disappears at times…
Not much has been mentioned of him in pressers, or any mention of him working hard by coaches or Crosby when they have been asked. All in all disappointed to see his transition in the pros so far.
Hope the guy is just acclimating to his injury but seems like he’s lacking work ethic.
Carter would’ve been a great pic, he would’ve filled our biggest need, and I did want him. But after what happened with Ruggs, and all the off field issues, it was best to pass on him. Very easily could’ve got into trouble in Vegas. He NEEDED to go to a place like Philly, where there isn’t the same amount of temptation and where he could be around former teammate who would keep him out of trouble
No he didn’t. This reply is to everyone, but I just chose you. There are numerous cases like this of players being troublemakers before the draft and overanalyzing their character is pointless. Parsons is a beast. Hill is a beast. Philly has all kinds of temptations. I’m so sick of hearing about being with teammates. He was with teammates when he was doing stupid shit! Him and the Ruggs situation are completely different. The reality is that the only way Carter falls to us is because of this situation and we didn’t take advantage of it. We missed on taking a great player just like half a dozen teams whiffed on taking Parsons.
Yes, Philly has all sorts of temptations too, he could easily get in has much trouble in Philly has he could in Vegas. But going to the Eagles is and was the absolute best situation for him. His teammates who are on the Eagles are older, have been in the league longer and better understand how different things are in the pros vs college and what needs to be done to be successful. Overall he simply has a much better support network in Philly vs had he went anywhere else. Had he went to the Dolphins for example, there would’ve been a better chance that he gets in trouble down in South Beach because he wouldn’t have that support network.
My man is arguing that other teams should have more talent than the raiders because of it being the “best situation” for him lmfao. I don’t give a damn about a “best situation” for a 22 year old millionaire, I just want the Raiders to be good.
I want the Raiders to be good too, but how would the Raiders be good if they had ANOTHER first round pick get in off the field trouble that costs them their careers? Ruggs had just KILLED a woman last year, Arnette was threatening to KILL people on social media, flashing guns and stuff, Jacob has been arrested for a DUI. Does that SOUND like an ideal culture to bring a guy in who was out drinking and driving, racing on the highway, and got a couple of people killed????? I get it, all you care about is the on the field production, we could have a team of rapists, racists, women beaters, child abusers, and murders, and that’s ok, so long has the Raiders win. You’re not the only fan who has that kind of mentality, many others do too. But how is any of that going to help if the players are in prison? How does Ruggs make us a Super Bowl, or even a playoff contender when he’s in prison?
