Mack should have most of the rust off for Chicago’s week 2 opponent.

Exactly. I could have told you he would traded to someone we play.

Reminds me of last year when I absoulutely knew that Zeke’s suspension would end against us.

Is there a monster pass rusher we don’t see this year? Lol.

Michael Bennett.

Technically,

We will see Bennett in the NFCCG

Where he'll line up offsides and jump early just about every 3rd down. Meanwhile, we'll hold him every down and it'll never get called. Maker my words! :mrgreen:

Craziness! Kidding....good for the Bears.

And, if this is what Gruden wants (as it seems) well, then Raiders live or die by him. Let’s see. We won’t know the ramifications of this for a couple years yet.

McVay keeps being called a boy Gruden.

They sure do seem to have completely different coaching styles.

Well I officially feel like we got Aaron Donald for a bargain. IMO he's significantly better than Mack.

Donald might be the best player in the league.

Bargain? No way in a hell a d-lineman should make over 20 mil a year, ever. :roll:

We’ve seen Aaron Donald single-handedly collapse and destroy entire game plans against Seattle. He’s done it consistently in the face of double and triple team blocking. I don’t like it, but that’s where we are.

He is absolutely worth what the Rams are paying him.

Khalil Mack, while not being quite on Donald’s level, has almost the same ability and consistency. We just don’t have to sit through it twice a year. He is worth the money the Bears are now paying him, because that includes the premium you pay when sliding a star player out from under the nose of their former employer. The Raiders have made a mistake because they don’t place enough value in his ability to affect a game. The Rams played it smarter, talking with the agent, rather than scoffing and walking away.

Gruden will probably wake up on Tuesday morning, after Donald has chewed up and spat his team out, and think “Gee, I wish we had a player like that...” The man is an idiot.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Your opinion. Unreal player, not worth over 20 mil a year.

Yeah, but since Cable was the O-line coach we've never seen him do it against an actual NFL-level O-line (for us). And, what game plan? You are forgetting about the other half of cabevel there.

 

[uncle fester]

The easy answer is he can only beat what’s in front of him

Therein lies the rub though, right? The Rams say the price is worth it. What price is a total game changer on the D Line? (I don’t know) Raiders said less, and now they don’t have one.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

All a matter of opinion that's all. Outstanding players, but will ultimately ruin their cap. Unless they go the full Eddie Debartalo (or however you spell that) and just cheat their way to keeping a roster of stars.

He's been very good against pretty much anyone put in front of him.

AD would've wrecked us and will continue to do so no matter what. Unless your interior is Zack Martin, Rodney Hudson, and Andrew Norwell, he's going to put pressure on the QB consistently. Cable didn't help, but he couldn't make Jr Sweezy, Glowinski, Joekel, Pocic, Ifedi, or whoever played guard for us good enough to block Donald.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

checkmate Bears.

 

[adeltaY]

It's funny how the media keeps saying the Packers have no one who can block Mack, except they they do. Bulaga did it when they played the Raiders in 2015 and Bakhtiari is arguably the best pass blocker in the league.

Not to diminish Aaron Donald, but let's be real; we've seen this from other defenders as well. Our stupidly simple offensive formations that always telegraphed what we were doing made it much easier for opposing defenses to get away with that kind of crap.
