I just want to see him get some damn targets! Yes we get it, he is a big tough kid with solid speed. I would like to see him running routes and getting space to work
Week 1 he was used sparingly because he was hurt. When he came back, he got 5 targets for 2 straight games, but only 1 last week. Hoping it's closer to the 5 than the 1, regularily.

Due to 3 of my main WR on bye this week, I am playing Bryan Edwards, and he is the only Raider I have. Hope he gets a good amount of looks.

That 3rd down an long, 1 handed grab definitely gained him some trust from Carr. It was a crucial moment in the game, and had it not been completed, the Broncos, who were gaining some momentum, would have been really energized. It was the play that broke their backs. Such a tight window throw, to make that throw, you have to have a certain amount of trust in a guy, and for him to pull it down the way he did, that trust has to be raised a large degree. Here it is, for those who are wondering what I am talking about.

4th and goal from the 1 TD. That was a total Crabtree play, the play design. Another sign of growing trust for Bryan.

In what regards? That's the common occurrence here. Why would they disclose it?

The entire WFT investigation is what's fishy to me. Nothing else was disclosed or released. They had knowledge of the E-mails in June, and the Raiders, nor anyone else didn't find out until it was leaked, right as they were going to vote on Demaurice Smith's tenure as head of the NFLPA, who got the minimum amount of votes required. The E mails were also leaked 10 years to the day, of Al Davis's death, for an interesting note.
