Did anybody notice the halftime show on the Raider broadcast?

All about the greatness of Al Davis. Pathetic

Nobody’s got anything invested in the Raider enterprise but Al Davis.

Not the Coaches or Players. It’s all about HIM, everybody else is just collecting a paycheck. Why shouldn’t they? He calls all the shots, nobody else has any input.

Then he does a halftime show about himself. Fuk all the great players they’ve had.

^^^^^^^Yeah, I can’t stand the amount of a$$ kissing that is done on Al Davis. Instead of talking about legitimate problems with the team and organization. It turns into a suck up fest? Ridiculous….

Our LB’s with the exception of Howard do not stay home in zone and we always get burned. TE’s have usually made us pay dearly in zone D. Alston has no business on the strong side and we need to address the position. This is one facet of the game where I actually don’t mind Kirk , is in zone, he has a good feel for it.

But this is a man coverage team and they really need to get away from so many zone packages. I wish they would use zone schemes to mask blitz and fake blitzes. Philly does this with great success.

You guys are missing the point about the Linebackers.

Ray Lewis threatened to retire if the Ravems did not fix their DT problem and they drafted Ngata in round one.

Morrison is our leading tackler last year and fans still think he is a prime reason our run defense stinks.

Run defense and a pass rush all start with the Dline.
The Giants bring pressure with four. A blitz turns it into a jail break.

If we blitz a guy like Brees he would still be throwing TDs today. The blitz is only a wrinkle. It can not be the only way you can pressure the QB.
Sadly with the Raiders our Dline under performs and is overpaid.

Agree for the most part….

Blockers get out to the second level on this defense a lot… And if a lineman gets his hooks into any LB in the second level it is usually over… I have seen Kirk get manhandled out of many plays.. often.

However, I have also seen Kirk take horrible angles in pursuit. He doesn’t wrap up well and he can’t step up and fill at MLB… I don;t see anything from Kirk that makes me think he would be any better with a stud DT in front of him. He would be serviceable, but nothing spectacular.

Trevor Scott, Jon Alston, Sam Williams, William Jospeh ec fukin cetera are NOT our starters and hell yes they got run the fuk over. I know we’ve sucked azz against the run, I know this.
I also know the vast majority of those long gainers come when some of these scrubs are in , like on SATURDAY and last year, BUT the major problem with this team is the OFFENSE!

CANNOT get its azz into the end zone!!!

That better change this season or our defense will suck again. Know why? ITS BUILT TO STOP THE PASS…

Makes sense if our offense is out scoring the opponent but we have been awful beyond awful on OFFENSE lo’ these lean years me ladies…
