One can get seperation in a whole myriad of ways.

If a WR can do that, you wont have the luxury of playing man free coverages using your safeties man under and causing presnap confusion.

This is ultra basic stuff man and its not my "opinion"

The past few years have seen the Raiders with slow WRs that allowed the bolts to play a ton of cover one and man free coverages. That is due to the lack of speed at WR.
The fact is that we have WRs that are faster than last years were.

If you think that Ted Cottrell wont notice and respect that, you are not capable of taking off your Raider hater glasses.

He will.

Trust me....he will.

If he doesnt, then he leaves his defense vulnerable in a big way.

You guys played a lot of man free on BOTH our WRs last year. Just forcing one safety to play a deep zone leaves one less back seven defender in the box.

I hop to God that TC thinks he can still go man free with both CBs.
Please Ted Please.....
