Jamaal is slowly turning into another Greg Hill, fast guy but pretty useless otherwise. He better step up his game.
As far as Pioli goes, I'm not as concerned about the personnel moves as I am his coaching hire. He had a late start to it, settled on Haley, and hired a leftover coaching staff after all the good assistants were gone. Hell, we didn't even get our first choice in terms of the defensive coordinator, and neither guy apparently wanted Gailey all that much but there were no obvious OC's lying out there either that would be able to run what Haley wanted. Right now it's not just lack of talent, it's lack of coaching. I like Haley, but he and his staff really need to step it up.
If Pioli missed on this hire, he'll probably get one more shot at it, but the head coach in essence will define the GM. If the head coach can't get it done, then you're wasting time getting him "his" players.
Right now it's way too early and outside of the Raiders we've played far superior teams, but somebody better start coaching up some players...
