He was thinking the same thing I was thinking and have been thinking the past two weeks. Stop hand-cuffing the best arm in the league!! The guy can heave for 60yds. off his back foot!!!! At least try to air it out. And the waning seconds of the first half of the game against the Chargers was the perfect opportunity to do so. Instead we kicked a 75 yard field goal???? WTF? Let Russell do what he came here to do. If you are one of those Faux fans and you say we don’t have the recievers, look at Favre he threw six TD’s last week. And he did it with WORSE recivers than what we have with the exception of Cotchery. Favre just makes nobodies into viable threats. It can be done!! And from what I have seen Russell has the arm to do it. Kiffin, though I liked him, was too conservative for me. Throw the damn ball. See what the kid can do. And for God’s sake get McFadden more involved. He can do a lot of things. I surely hope we didn’t draft him to run between the tackles. We have backs for that. McFadden can offer another recieving threat if utilized correctly. Kiffin failed to do that. Hopefully Cable will realize that we CAN win right now!!! But McFadden’s role will have to change slightly to do it. Somehow I don’t think he would have a problem with that. You would think Kiffin(being an OC at USC) could have used McFadden similar to the way he used Reggie Bush in the Trojan offense but no. These are the things that can get us over the hump. I can’t be the only one who sees it… You know I was an Al Davis basher too, until I heard what he had to say. He was thinking the same thing I was thinking and have been thinking the past two weeks.

Raiderkoolaid Says: October 1st, 2008 at 12:48 pm Davis is not dumb. He has been in a lot of law suits and lost very few of them. His lawyers knew everything he was going to say before his press conference and you can bet he didn’t say anything he was vulnerable on. Kiffin will not get a dime. I feel bad for him for that, but all he had to do was shut up and coach the team and then at the end of the year the team would not of picked up his option and he would have been free to look for a new job, without the stigma of being someone who undermines their boss in public. So if these high priced lawyers read everything in the letter, why were there so many spelling errors? Just asking? Hobs Gnarly Says:

It makes sense about Holmgen. He doesn't want to coach anymore, and he wants to be closer to his family in the bay area. This would definelty give us stability in our management. I would pretty much assume he would want a new coach unless tom is as good with people as everyone seems to be saying.Head coaches don't normally call plays like kiffen did.We just need a coach to hold the guys accountable and push them to be the best they can be.We need to get someone who al respects and who he will let make decisions help get some quality linemen and receivers in here and we would be back to the old days, kickin ass!!!!
