Jamal Adams signs with Raiders

[bileever]

Good chance he doesn't even make the team. He's not the player he once was. He signed for the veteran minimum, so not a huge investment.

Pete thought he was getting the second coming of Kam Chancellor with Adams, but he was off the mark.

On the other hand, he's only 29, and if he is truly healthy, he might find a spot as a dime safety.

He's no longer "The best in the nation!" but I always liked him and wanted him to succeed. I wish him all the best with Pete, except against Seattle.

Preseason or practice?

We all “wanted him to succeed”, certainly left a bad taste for me personally.
I suspect the same for many.

I really liked Adams! When he was on the field he was the most exciting player on defense.

Lighting quick and he was a threat for getting a sack.

I love our defense as a unit, but as an individual, who exactly is a "Must watch player" on every play?

Pete was able to get the most out of him and he thinks he can do it again. It's not a horrible move.

What!? Spoon, Leo, EJ, I mean c’mon we have exciting players at every level on defense sheesh. I heard packernation2025 was looking for buddies to go to training camp with

Oh nevermind it’s rehiremore (can’t take that guy seriously)

Pete will probably pick up Fant

Which was his only skillset. He couldn’t cover. A safety who can’t cover does not excite me. Especially a safety who can’t cover who is oft injured. Especially especially a safety who can’t cover who is oft injured and cost two first round picks (which is what we received for a very durable, a pro bowl starting QB. )

It’s just hard for me to look past that. The Jets used their 2021 first round pick from us to move up and select Alijah Vera-Tucker, a solid starting O-Lineman. They used their 2022 first round pick from us to select Garrett Wilson, the AP NFL Offensive rookie of the year. We got a dude who denigrates the physical appearance of a mans wife who dares to criticism him.

Yikes.

Adams couldn't earn snaps with the titans and lions. What can he contribute to the raiders?

Will the raiders move him to LB? But would y he be seriously undersized?

Pete likes him, nothing wrong with that BUT
I guess it puts to rest now who made the trade

Adams playing LB in training camp.

 

[PateratoWilson]

2 GAMES - THAT IS ALL.

If he gets hot.

He'll last one play at LB, lol. Call an audible and run to the opposite side of the field he's at. Having a "blitz specialist" is kind of dumb, it's too easy to calculate the play. Guess Pete hasn't figured out why every team knew what play was coming before the snap.

Raider nation in for a long, frustrating season.

Yeah, I don't know....Bennett was kindof a blitz machine for the Seahawks. Other than his egregious penalty- creating early jumps, he was pretty successful.

MB was a damned good DE that could play every down if needed.

Adams will be on the field for one reason. I would run the ball right at the guy every time for chunks of yards now that I think about it. He tries to hit stick everything, lol.

He’ll knock himself out by cutting the wrong direction to hard, and smacking his helmet somehow on his knee and that’ll be the season. And that’s just the type of piss poor luck Jamal Glass Adams has.

You’ve seen something similar before? Ha.

 

[Azvacar]

I mean he basically always played on the line, sacing Safety coverage for his blitzing... now they get a small ass ILB that might be in blitz packages... wooopteeeddoooo

Guess what teams check to when they see him in the game at this point of his career rofl
