An offense that scored 25 points per game in the 2nd half with a backup QB that is well below average is nothing to sneeze at.

This.

Again, I am going to go back to Kyle Orton. With Orton throwing the ball for nearly 300 yards a game in his 3 starts and only taking 1 sack... McCluster and TJ were able to resemble real NFL RB's at times. Defense could rest. Defense kicked ass.

Charles and Hillis are real NFL RB's. Anything close to what Orton brought to the table from Cassel, and this defense could be top 5 with the additions of Poe and Berry to the mix.

This offense should be able to move the ball and score on these below average AFC West defenses. If they get shutdown by these slapdicks again this year it'll be a massive fail. Getting held down by Oakland and Denver at home was ****ing embarrasing.

You can keep spouting bullshit all you want, but it doesn't change the truth. If you possess the technical faculties to play guard and are then converted to center, you already possess 90% of the technique of playing center. What's missing? Knowledge, timing, and slight adjustments and footwork out of the snap, all of which are accumulated and learned through....

EXPERIENCE

Again, your arguments all dictate that Hudson will be inexperienced in handling the center position game 1. He's not going to be raw, though.

Jesus ****, after your senile owner drafted nothing but raw players for 10 years you'd think a Raider fan would be able to tell the ****ing difference between the two concepts.

I eagerly await your next idiotic strawman response.

Expecting cassel to make plays so the d can rest on a consistant basis is a joke. This club will ne top ten running, bottom half passing, and middle of the road on d. Same old,same old.

I guess that's about my take as well. So how's the farming business treating you Mo?

We've saved enough money to be able to splurge in free agency in 2021...

It's friggin dry. Got enough hay in to feed the herd for two years. We move forward every month. Water bill is killing us though.

Do you know how stupid you look?

Let me explain... lets break down your drivel of a post again

You say Hudson's not raw going from guard to the center position, a position he's never played before in college to calling the last 10 years of Raiders draft raw when every player they drafted in those ten years played the exact position they played in college

Do you now know just how dumb you can be?

Seriously dude-

After further evaluation, it has come to my conclusion that you have calcium deposits forming in your medulla oblongata

I'm not the moron who doesn't know the difference between "raw" and "inexperienced"

Do you care to reveal to me these insurmountable blocking technique differences between center and guard? Or maybe you'd like to continue eating diarrhea. I don't care one way or the other.

Chimpionship getting owned. He'll go into hiding soon enough again.

There are two main differences between Center and left guard.

Snapping the ball and line calls.

Last year, reports were showing that Hudson was having no problems with snapping and he is a very very smart kid.

After sitting behind one of the smartest and toughest centers in the league for a year will surely help his learning curve in making the correct line calls.

As SNR says, he is inexperienced but not raw.

I'm a big fan of Weigmann and what he did at his size in the NFL for so long and I would bet money that Hudson is a big upgrade.
