Raiders probably carry four Te’s this year. Gruden plays a lot of two Te formations. Occasionally playing three at one time. All the Raider Te’s can block , and catch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 He looked done last year, shocked he is coming back and moving to a new team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Waller - just scratching the surface of his ability, and Last year rookie Te Foster Moreau ( idolized J Witten growing up) can learn so much from experienced Te like Witten. Derek carrier - is more H -back type with Wr speed. Witten is the mentor, and red zone target. gruden likes having old veterans as mentors to the young guys. Why I expect V Burfict to be back with the Raiders at Lb. ( despite a hit away from lifetime suspension- Knows the defense inside out, and probably lines up at the Sam position.(where they only play about 30% of the time) .

Sounds like they could've hired Witten as the TE coach and saved 4 million, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders have a very good Te coach Frank Smith. Did excellent job developing there young Te’s last year. Gruden believes Witten can still play, and why he will be on the 53 man roster.

Jetster Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Did anyone watch Witten last year? The guy is done! Cooked, fini, you don't play as long as that guy did in the trenches & over the middle and last. He ran like he had leg braces on last year.

Not bad for a fourth string Te. Some teams starting Te’s didn’t catch that many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirorob Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I don't think it's a bad signing. He's still a good blocker, can still work a seam and get open and fall forward for 8 yards. It's not huge money, 1 year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Best thing about him he’s still young , but still couldn’t cover my grandma/ or Jason Witten . You don’t get everything in Fa, and the Raiders almost have to draft the best cb at 19 now. ( wanted two wr’s with 12 and 19- that’s if they were able to address cb in Fa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
