Welcome into tailgate Austin Gill here with Mike renter and sunny Cincinnati rated rip it up before Christmas day today on the show going to recap the Saturday games the terrible Saturday games also going to look at the 32 first rounders in 2021 and give a confidence level rating.

One being Isaiah Wilson 10 being Justin Jefferson on how good they are how worried we are. And then at the back end of the show, I got an interview with Demarb and Leo Texas AMD fence of tackle and Trevor penning from Northern Iowa should be an absolute treat. Let's get it.

I'm never betting the Raiders again. I'm never betting the Raiders again. They were favored by three against a COVID written Cleveland Browns team onto their third string quarterback with Kevin Stofanski out as well.

All favored by three and they only win by two Derek Carr stinks. This team stinks. I am upset man. They still won though. I know they still kept themselves. Why didn't they blow them out playoff contention. But man 16 points. Like you said, now the defense. It wasn't as COVID riddled as the offense for the Browns. But they are offense has been straight up shit since

100 rugs got arrested. This is that rugs got off steam like they're they just do not have the explosiveness that they had around season and obviously offensive lines and shambles. But yeah, the Raiders back to the drawing board for them this off season. They're kind of we're going to use the bears later, but them in the bears are in tough situations right now. Yeah, seemingly with like that that middle ground and other bears maybe a little less than the middle ground in terms of where they're going.

And up draft wise, but that kind of middle ground where you have average talent on your roster. You don't have a Lee players. You don't have great draft positioning and there's no real quick fix for where they're at.

I mean, I want to spend a little time on that because I had a tweet prepped if they lost it wouldn't have hit since they won. But I sarcastically wrote. I still feel that the Raiders are in a really good position to win with Derek Carr.

If they replace the right side of their offensive line, make upgrades at three receiving points, add eight upgrades on starters and get a new coach and get a new front office.

That's the issue with the Raiders. The Raiders is as Derek Carr is good, but the winning cast has been bad for 20 years. They're entering year 20, 21 of a rebuild.

They've had one flash in the pan with Derek Carr. When all everything hit with Michael Crabtree, Mark Cooper, a top three offensive line and a defense that wasn't complete garbage.

And then he breaks his leg and they haven't been able to claw back into that because they've made bad decisions on the sideline with coaches, bad decisions with GMs and have failed when they traded away, Clill Mac, trade away, Mark Cooper to actually rebuild this team move on from Derek Carr, not because he's shit, not even because he's average.

Move on from Derek Carr because he's one of your best players, but your roster is literally incapable of competing with them because you're like, they were legitimately like 16 starters away from being a legitimate team.

The sad thing is here and now they are seven seven, but they do have like a minus 80 point differential against like they've kind of snuck by to get seven seven.

Sad thing is they should be entering a situation where the back end of Derek Carr's contract was favorable. Yeah, 22 million dollar cap it this year, 19.8 million dollar cap hit next year.

He like that for a starter in today's NFL is about 12 to, you know, a top 12 to 10 quarterback is a good $10 million less.

Then every other guy in that range is getting if not more than that less.

So it should be entering a window where they can make some plays and all of a sudden they're entering a window where it's like, what do we rebuild again?

Because shit, some of your best players Max Crosby is going to be coming up for deal here soon.

I mean, Casey Hayward's one of your best defenders. He's only on a one year deal.

Obviously you need a new receiving core. It's just not the cupboard is empty.

You got some like ramen noodles left. That's what my take there, though, is right.

Do we enter a rebuild again? Is you have to you have to get a new coach.
