Dennis AllenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I've had some good players that have played inside for us.
Dennis AllenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
David Onyemata comes to mind, but uh i don't know that i've had anybody this this disruptive
speaker_14UNKNOWN
ryan said that the building was on fire is this deal came to fruition with jeffrey what was it like from your perspective when you first learned that this is possible and what was your level of excitement there
Dennis AllenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
um yeah i think anytime you get an opportunity to add a player of this significance um you know everybody gets excited um You know, I mean, it's like waking up on Christmas morning and you go out and you see all the presents under the tree, you know, and so then your mind starts to go to, my mind starts to go to, okay, how can we utilize this guy? You know, what are the things that we can do to, you know, really utilize his strengths? And so, and like I said, that'll continue to be a work in progress as we move forward.

Brian CostelloHOST
It's not pretty.
Frankie VittoriniHOST
Onyemata retired, Ryan.
Frankie VittoriniHOST
Did you hear? He's retiring.
Frankie VittoriniHOST
No, I'm kidding.
Frankie VittoriniHOST
That's
Ryan SampsonHOST
a terrible joke.
Frankie VittoriniHOST
Well, where is Onyemata? We always say he's out, but nobody has any update on why he's out.
Frankie VittoriniHOST
Nobody knows where he is.
Nick FariaGUEST
Obviously, David Bailey's been a much better run defender than many people expected when he was drafted.
Nick FariaGUEST
But as the injuries have been compounded, Devondre Sweat, David Onyemata, we've seen this group really take a step back.
Nick FariaGUEST
Harrison Phillips has had a very bad year.
Nick FariaGUEST
Jawan Briggs has had an alarmingly bad year.
Nick FariaGUEST
It's as barren as it's been in many years.
Nick FariaGUEST
And again, part of it is because of injuries.
Nick FariaGUEST
They don't have David Onyemata.
Nick FariaGUEST
He was brought in specifically to stop the run.
Will ParkinsonGUEST
And that's been probably the most disappointing unit on this roster through seven weeks has been a lot of investment.
Will ParkinsonGUEST
Unfortunately, David Onyemata is on IR.
Will ParkinsonGUEST
They signed him in the offseason.
Will ParkinsonGUEST
They invest the number two pick in Bailey.
StefanAUDIENCE
They're not getting any stops or, you know, holding the line in the run game either.
StefanAUDIENCE
You'd think after, you know, trading for Devandre Sweat, signing David Onyemata, then just drafting Darrell Jackson, that situation would be better.
StefanAUDIENCE
But it somehow feels worse than last year.
Jake AsmanHOST
It's not great.
Omari BrownGUEST
You know, the Cleveland game worked because their interior was dominating.
Omari BrownGUEST
Without Sweat, without David Onyemata, they just can't do it, man.
Omari BrownGUEST
I'm not going to keep picking on Harrison Phillips, but he's falling off a cliff, Jake.
Omari BrownGUEST
He's cooked.
StuckeyHOST
So now you finally have...
StuckeyHOST
this full arsenal on offense Gino lots of short stuff in this offense like 55 percent of his passes are in the short range Raiders are the worst defense in the league against short passes the Jets run defense is very very problematic and now it looks like Sweat's gonna miss Osai's out Onyemata they have a ton of injuries in the D-line they can't stop the run Raiders D is terrible.
StuckeyHOST
But the Raiders can't run it.
StuckeyHOST
And yeah, their D is terrible.
Mike LucianoHOST
Basically the entire projected starting five, except for Harrison Phillips, possibly out because Joseph Asai is out.
Mike LucianoHOST
David Onyemata is out.
Mike LucianoHOST
Devondre Sweat doesn't seem like it's going to be a real long-term thing.
Mike LucianoHOST
I know he's had injuries before, and they take a little while to get back, so you're worried about that, but it doesn't sound like it's going to be too strenuous.
