Had high hopes for Tyree Wilson, adding him to a lineup with Crosby and Jones was looking like a nice edge rush.
With Jones gone we have still not asked for much out of Wilson, and he still seems to be behind the 8ball. Has improved getting off the line but his football IQ just does not seem to be there.
By this point I would expect to see raw talent with lack of feel for the pro game. But neither has presented him self. Recently read his scouting report out of college and it was fairly accurate, slow off the ball, disappears at times…
Not much has been mentioned of him in pressers, or any mention of him working hard by coaches or Crosby when they have been asked. All in all disappointed to see his transition in the pros so far.
Hope the guy is just acclimating to his injury but seems like he’s lacking work ethic.
You’re madly out of touch with reality. Ik you just want to defend this team, but plenty of “bad” people are in this sport. Carter was street racing. Something that’s all over the place. If you think Carter is an outlier, you don’t have a clue. It wasn’t drugs. It wasn’t gang related (Arnette). Parsons did way worse shit and look at that? He’s phenomenal. Remember Kareem Hunt? I forgot Cleveland was a poster child for a good culture. The fact is that the only possible way we end up in a situation to draft a player of his caliber in that draft is if he had baggage.
I think it is you who needs to get in touch with reality. Because you are here acting like we were the ONLY team in the NFL to pass on Carter due to his off the field issues. The man went 9th overall, and was lucky his slide stopped there. That means 8 other teams passed on him, what do YOU know about a team and culture that those other 8 teams don’t? Why are YOU not a NFL GM?
Oh, he was simply street racing, so that’s ok, huh? Ruggs was simply speeding, which is also all over the place, so I guess that’s ok too huh? The FACT that TWO people died because he was street racing doesn’t mean anything, the FACT that a woman and her dog DIED because Ruggs was speeding, doesn’t mean anything either right? Drinking and driving is all over the place too, every day, all over the world, people are drinking and driving, and the majority of those people end up just fine, they don’t kill people, so that makes it ok correct?
I NEVER, EVER said that Carter was a “outliner” in anyway shape or form. But the FACT that he was street racing and probably drunk, and then, and THEN shows up to his combine, his job interview where MILLIONS of dollars are at stake, out of shape, showed he didn’t make good judgements. Do YOU show up to job interviews unprepared, looking like a mess? I doubt it.
Micah is accused of doing some hazing, and stealing clothes, that is NOT way worse. Hill fell to the 5th round because of the shit he did. Yeah, Hunt did some bad things too, and his career hasn’t been the same since, he got suspended and then was released because of what he did. But I’m sure you’re ok with what Watson did too huh? Yeah, sure, every NFL team has players who fuck up, and sometimes those players redeem themselves and continue to be good players. But usually those players that continue to play well, do so because they end up going to the right environment. The Raiders are NOT a team with the right environment for players with trouble, and after what happened with Ruggs it was ABSOLUTELY the right call to pass on Carter, it was wayyyy too early to take a RISK on somebody who was already a high risk.
