Raiders NewsRaiders OC Greg Olson says there is ‘no doubt’ TE Darren Waller can fill Jared Cook’s shoesNew,75commentsPDTJared Cook was a huge part of the Raider offense last year. With basically zero help in the way of wide receivers, Derek Carr looked to Cook to carry the passing game. Cook did so well, he was signed away by the New Orleans Saints in the offseason. The Raiders signed Luke Willson and drafted Foster Moreau, but neither one are proven pass-catching tight ends.All this means Darren Waller will get a tremendous chance to become the Raiders’ top tight end target, and offensive coordinator Greg Olson likes his chances at success. He was asked at OTAs on Tuesday if he felt Waller could step up and fill the spot vacated by Cook.“Oh yeah, there’s no doubt. I think really as good a player as Jared Cook is and was for us, I just think this will really allow him… Would it stunt his growth if Jared was here? Possibly. So now that he has that position, it’s your position, you are the ‘Y’ in certain personnel groupings. We’re going to put you out there on the field and you’re going to play. You’re going to get better from playing. You’re not going to wait and sit behind Jared Cook and have to wait your turn Womens Bo Jackson Jersey , you have to go now. We’re really pushing him to the limit right now,” said Olson.This bit of word salad notwithstanding, Jon Gruden had similar things to say about Waller last week, calling him the ‘best kept secret’ in the league.It’s easy to see why people are getting excited about Waller’s potential. Here are a few Tweets from this morning about Waller’s performance in practice working with Derek Carr.If we unpack all this and look at the timestamps, we’ll find that all three Tweets were talking about the same play- one apparently so spectacular that three separate well-known writers had to share their perspective on it. What do these Tweets tell us about Waller?Firstly, rookie corner Isaiah Johnson runs a 4.4 and Waller toasted him. Secondly, Derek Carr was able to “identify a favorable matchup” involving Waller. Now, with Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams and Hunter Renfrow and God knows who else on the field, how often do you imagine Darren Waller is going to have a favorable matchup? My most conservative guess would be 100% of the time. Thirdly, Waller ran a very good wheel route, which is a great sign because it is my second-favorite play (behind only the naked bootleg Bo Jackson Jersey , preferably coming as a total surprise when runat the goal line by a stone-footed quarterback) and it almost always works. The wheel route is usually not covered by a corner as talented or as fast as Johnson, rather it ends up with a tight end or a running back running past an outside linebacker in coverage who suddenly looks like he’s running in a pool of cold nacho cheese from 7-11.Finally, the route went ‘deep’. While Carr doesn’t throw deep as often as he should, when he does so he is extremely accurate. His current crop of receivers are incredibly skilled at catching the deep ball, and if Waller proves able to handle that as well, it could make the Raider offense even more indefensible than it already is.If you’re looking for a potential breakout player and fantasy sleeper, look no further than Darren Waller. This week the Raiders are on the road. They have to travel all the way across the bay to Santa Clara to face the 49ers in what figures to be the final Battle of the Bay ever.This time the meeting has a new name: The Bosa Bowl. There isn’t much for either of these two teams to look forward to except getting a high draft pick and a shot of pass rusher Nick Bosa. The Raiders especially need it considering they have far and away the worst pass rush in the NFL. Their 20 QB hits is dead last, with 24 teams with at least twice as many. The 49ers have 44.Whether you are watching this game to see the Raiders win or lose, have a morbid curiosity to watch two 1-win teams beat up on one another or just because you have nothing better to do on a Thursday night than watch whichever teams are playing, here is the info you need to catch it.Raiders depth chartInjury reportGame DetailsLocation: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara CAGame time: Thusday https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , November 1, 5:20 pm Pacific (8:20 pm ET)TV channel: NFL NetworkOnline streaming: Amazon Prime, fuboTVReplay: NFL Game Pass (Live audio, replay after it's over)Radio: Bay Area KCBS-740 AM, select games on 95.7 Las Vegas 102.7 The Coyote, 720 AM (Bret Musburger, Lincoln Kennedy) | Full listingsOdds: 49ers are 3-point favoritesMatch-up history: Raiders lead series 7-6Announcers: Joe Buck, Troy AikmanEnemy blog: Niners NationTwitter: @SilverBlakPrideFacebook: Please like us! |
