@TampaBayTre We're talking about #80, right?

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@RyanPaganetti @tejfbanalytics And I would add; Since 2024 they've net added a lot of talent. Yes, Andre James and Parham have left, but they've added Linderbaum and 3 3rd round picks, as well as some experience for Glaze, JPJ, and Meredith.

@RyanPaganetti @tejfbanalytics I'm biased (raiders fan) but I'm with Tej here. Ryan, you're right that the OL was awful last year, but the same guys (plus added players) played well in late 2024 with better coaching... so I'd ask you - What does analytics say about the influence of coaching on OL vs Talent?

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@TampaBayTre @BenjaminSolak Or the Bucs should trade for AD?

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@SamMonsonNFL That's why you're allowed to drink while you play.

@kirkmorrison Progressively more distant hail Marie's

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@SamMonsonNFL Why do they allow ties in hockey or soccer when you can have a shootout? It makes no sense.

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@Ihartitz @MBFantasyLife I heard they're probably going to have a pretty good defense so they won't have to score much on offense.

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@Timo_NFL If it manifests because you forfeit every game, that would be bad. If it manifests through (allowed) science and training, that would be good.

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@KuhnTristen Assuming Mayer and Bowers (and the OL/run) can be effective in 12 personnel, I'm curious who the WRs will be. Definitely speed potential with Tucker/Benson/etc but also a some great run blocking potential with Bech (and others). Probably depends on opponents, but a lot of combos.

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@PaulHGutierrez Gotta say... Bo Jacksons injury might beat Tuck Rule.

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@FB_FilmAnalysis He did an interview for The Daily last weekend and talked about it. You should give it a listen.

If you want a thicker crust, use this. No overnight waiting - You use a food processor for gluten development.

@samwarren83 Nice write-up Sam. A point of feedback... It'd be good to note at the end of these the details for upcoming practices/etc. including media availability. Something like... The raiders resume OTAs on 5/26 with media present on 5/27.

@NFL @kirkmorrison @fernandomendoza @Raiders @NFLPA @IndianaFootball I'm excited about Mendoza, but these look like high school graduation photos

@tejfbanalytics Once you're old enough, it'll feel sore beforehand for no obvious reason.

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@tejfbanalytics I would also throw in that another solution for tanking could be that your draft slot is determined by your record the week you were eliminated from playoff contention. That way, if you're 3-11 & get eliminated, you can try your best for the remaining weeks withoutconsequences.

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@tejfbanalytics Tej... I don't want a lottery, I think it's a bad idea. I understand tanking is bad too, but a top 5/10 lottery isn't the solution. HOWEVER... Why not just have a lottery for teams with equal records/playoff slot losses. Then it's fairly fair...and would have massive ratings.

[Parker @CynicalPeej]

@JohnOwning Eh, I am not sure about that one specifically, but I do think some things could be done. For example, you could make it so the wins/losses in the final week of the season could give schedule preference on the next season and put rules around benching/IRing healthy veterans.

@StevePalazzolo_ Mendoza for several...
