Si todo sale acorde al plan, los Oakland Raiders tendrĂĄn una lĂnea sin igual para presionar al mariscal contrario durante el 2018.
Asumiendo que Khalil Mack eventualmente estarĂĄ de regreso con el equipo uniendo esfuerzos con Bruce Irvin y Arden Key para fortalecer la presiĂłn desde el extremo de la lĂnea, se puede esperar que el equipo logre superar las 31 capturas registradas en el 2017.
A pesar de el alboroto que han generado Irvin y Key durante los primeros dĂas del campamento, si lo Raiders en realidad quieren ser efectivos presionando al mariscal, tambiĂ©n van a necesitar sumar una buena presiĂłn interna.
Por alguna razĂłn en los Ășltimos años, los Raiders no han encontrado el mismo Ă©xito en la presiĂłn interna en relaciĂłn con la ejercida desde el extremo de la lĂnea. Pero considerando los jugadores que han sido adquiridos en los Ășltimos meses, se espera remediar esa situaciĂłn esta temporada.
"Cuando tienes una lĂnea de tres hombres se necesita un buen tacle central," explicĂł Gruden recientemente. "Necesitas un jugador grande e imponente y creo que Justin Ellis podrĂa ser ese tipo de jugador. En una formaciĂłn 4-3 nos gustarĂa tener alguien que pueda penetrar y presionar mĂĄs al mariscal y creo que Ă©l puede hacerlo. Lo hizo en la universidad y lo esta haciendo hoy en dĂa. Ahtyba Rubin tambiĂ©n es imponente. Tambien temenos dos refuerzos los cuales estoy ansioso por ver, P.J. Hall y Eddie Vanderdoes."
Uno de esos jugadores regreso a las practicas el miércoles ya que el novato P.J. Hall participó por primera ocasión en el campamento 2018.
"Obviamente estuvo un poco limitado," dijo Gruden despuĂ©s de la prĂĄctica del miĂ©rcoles. "Lo queremos llevar con calma. ParticipĂł en muchos de los ejercicios individuales. Mañana trataremos de ponerlo en situaciĂłn de uno contra uno y de ahĂ encaminarlo a los ejercicios de 9 contra 7. Hay que recordar que no participĂł cuatro dĂas de inducciĂłn para novatos. Estamos contentos de que este de regreso y creo que nos ayudara en la parte interna de la lĂnea, es difĂcil de bloquear y espero que siga progresando."
Con Hall de vuelta en conjunto con Mario Edwards, Justin Ellis y el tambiĂ©n novato, Maurice Hurst, el 2018 podrĂa ser un buen año para la lĂnea defensiva por ello fue que los Raiders invirtieron dos selecciones del Draft en linieros defensivos.
Una vez que inicie la pretemporada habrĂa que estar muy atentos al par de novatos. Ambos tienen potencial y es posible que tengan mucha participaciĂłn al iniciar la pretemporada.
Reporte de Lesionados:
El tackle Donald Penn y el tacle defensivo Eddie Vanderdoes son los Ășnicos en la lista de lesionados.
Parece que Vanderdoes podrĂa regresar mas temprano que tarde, pero por ahora sigue en recuperaciĂłn. El miĂ©rcoles continuĂł trabajando aparte junto con Penn al igual que el corredor Jalen Richard quien se recupera de una lesiĂłn den la pantorrilla.
Otros jugadores que no practicaron el miercoles fueron el ala cerrada, el Derek Carrier, el tacle Brandon Parker, el esquinero Gareon Conley y el receptor Martavis Bryant.
TambiĂ©n el novato Chris Warren III regreso a practicar despuĂ©s de estar fuera unos dĂas.
Notable:
-El analista de la NFL Network Mike Mayock estuvo presente en la prĂĄctica. Considerado uno de lo mejores reclutadores, fue interesante ver a Mayock y Gruden platicar antes de la practica; serĂa bueno saber de que platicaron durante 15 minutos.
-La practica del miĂ©rcoles fue con utilerĂa complete, pero faltando 40 minutos en la sesiĂłn de tres horas, Gruden les indicĂł a los jugadores que se quitaran las hombreras. El equipo realizĂł los Ășltimos periodos de la sesiĂłn sin ellas.
-DespuĂ©s de un intenso inicio a su primer campamento con el Plata y Negro, el receptor Jordy Nelson fue tema de conversaciĂłn el miĂ©rcoles al demostrar su velocidad y habilidad para separarse de la cobertura. Iniciando su 11va temporada, se especulaba que el ex Packer habrĂa perdido velocidad, pero ha demostrado todo lo contrario.
-Derek Carr tiene uno de los brazos mas Fuertes en la NFL y el miĂ©rcoles lo demostrĂł en un pase al corredor Keon Hatcher quien corrĂa por la banda. La fuerza de su brazo nunca ha sido problema para el #4. Esperemos puede hacer mucho uso del mismo durante el 2018.
-El corredor James Butler participó en su segunda practica como integrante de los Raiders y el novato tuvo un par de buenas jugadas el miércoles. Tener buenos refuerzos es primordial en la NFL y mås en los corredores. Esperemos mantenga esa buena racha en las siguientes semanas.
- Tevin Mitchel, #37 tuvo una de las mejores jugadas al desviar un pase de manera acrobĂĄtica.
¿Qué Dijo?:
"Ha tenido un excelente receso de temporada. Es decir, ha realizado muchas jugadas cerca de la lĂnea, en lo profundo, en cobertura y equipos especiales. En este momento tiene la oportunidad de ser titular de los Oakland Raiders. Eso es lo que pienso de Ă©l," dijo el Entrenador en Jefe Jon Gruden con respecto a lo que ha visto del profundo Erik Harris hasta ahora.
ÂżQue Sigue?:
El Plata y Negro regresarĂĄn al campo de practicas el jueves por la mañana al igual que viernes y sĂĄbado antes de su dĂa de descanso obligatorio, el domingo.
