Saw today that Tom is up to his old tricks. He's moving perennial LT pro bowler Donald Penn to RT, with Penn seemingly very uncomfortable with the move. Best move since the 2012 draft was ridding us of Cabevell. Too bad we didn't move them a few years back to see what we could have become.
It's a brilliant strategy by Cable. The line will look like dog crap and he will have the perfect excuse.

--"We're playing young guys."
--"We got guys playing new positions."
--"The O-Line needs time to gel given the new system."
--Make an insane statement {insert any player here} "He can be the best G-T in the NFL" The player proceeds to
underwhelm the entire season.
--Injury Excuse. Tom Cable O-Lines will always be injured. They are playing out of position, diving at people's legs, and are discombobulated of course they are going to get injured. See the George Fant injury last pre-season totally avoidable, unless of course Cable is involved. (Britt whiffed on a cut block, and took out Fant. ON A PASS PLAY! I believe it was a 3 step drop too, and it wasn't a screen. In the pre-season. Insane.)
*EDIT* I found the play. He wasn't cutting, but might as well have been. BAD COACHING.

So the Raiders just gave Cable 2 high draft picks the previous draft to build the line. Cable will demand they bring in more of his guys. That will be castoffs from the Seahawks, and a couple more draft busts that he will handpick. They will be even worse.
--Cable will then say "We are one of the youngest O-Lines in the league, and they will need another season to fully judge what they have."
--Point fingers at other areas of the football team to deflect, especially the QB.
--Simplify and dumb down the scheme even more.

The year 3 strategy for Cable has always been to hang on for dear life. He doesn't last much longer than 2 years anywhere he goes.
I wish he would of gone to Santa Clara instead, then the Hawks could take advantage of his tomfoolery twice a year.
