Jackson in no-lose situation
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, January 28th, 2010 at 11:26 am in Oakland Raiders.
We have no idea if Hue Jackson is capable of reversing the fortunes of the Raiders offense and making an NFL quarterback out of JaMarcus Russell.
Yet there’s a perception out there that Jackson is crazy for leaving Baltimore for Oakland and should have waited for a better opportunity to open up as a coordinator elsewhere. He was a finalist and a favorite last year when Mike Singletary surprisingly hired Jimmy Raye. The Bears had scheduled an interview before Jackson decided to come to Oakland.
As much as the Raiders are derided nationally, and justifiably so considering their seven-year free fall, the organization doesn’t kill coaches as much as it makes them.
Jackson can’t lose. If the offense struggles and Jackson is out after a year or three, he’s still a 40-something head coach, one that had the misfortune of being saddled with Russell and working for an owner and organization seen as bizarre and dysfunctional.
Let’s say the opposite occurs. The Raiders offense suddenly begins to put touchdowns on the board. They run better, they pass better. Whether Russell is at the helm or not, if the Raiders get to .500 and beyond, Jackson becomes a hot commodity. If he actually turns Russell around, he’s a miracle worker.
Jackson would be a young, minority candidate to be included on the short list of every NFL team making a head coaching change. That’s getting a foot into a lot of doors.
In that scenario, Al Davis would be helpless to prevent Jackson from accepting a promotion elsewhere, and you know what comes next. Davis’ stated preference is to have a head coach to call the plays, and assuming Cable lasts through the year, a winning season with a strong offense would likely result in Jackson getting elevated so he doesn’t go somewhere else.
Based on how things have gone in Oakland since 1995 other than the three year oasis from 2000 through 2002, it sounds like pure fantasy, which it very well may be.
So in the event of the continued downward spiral, assuming Jackson has committed career suicide by coming to Oakland would be a mistake.
Mike White joined Dick Vermeil in St. Louis and got a Super Bowl ring as an assistant head coach.
Joe Bugel resumed his career as one of the most successful offensive line coaches in the game with San Diego and Washington.
Jon Gruden got a huge raise and won a Super Bowl after being dealt to Tampa Bay.
Bill Callahan landed one of the plum jobs in college football at Nebraska, and is the right-hand man for Rex Ryan with the New York Jets, one of the most respected assistant coaches in football.
Norv Turner, AFC West doormat in Oakland, dominates it as the Chargers head coach after spending a year in San Francisco as offensive coordinator.
Lane Kiffin went 5-15, was all but hanged in public square and got the Tennessee and USC jobs in consecutive seasons.
The only coach whose career suffered was Shell, who had been out of the game more than a decade.
Jackson isn’t the Raiders head coach, but he’s the most splashy hire of an assistant in recent memory and his career arc won’t be affected no matter how the Raiders fare. If he wins, he wins big. If he loses, he still wins.

Everybody says it is a big difference for having to be under center now, instead of the shotgun, for Tim Tebow.
———————————–
Seems Alex Smith played his college days in the shotgun as well, and playing under center is still less effective than when Singletary started putting him back in the shotgun.
Big learning curve going from one to the other, and that “curve” usually results in loses/turnovers.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:29 am
Wow like every off season. It sounds so hopeful, and we end up losing big time.
I’m skeptical this off season.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:31 am
You forgot to mention John Fox , who went on to have success in Carolina.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:31 am
Rico
You are correct in your assumption about Alex Smith and the like. Another problem is, not only are they used to working out of the shotgun, most of these qb’s played in a Spread Offense which made reading defenses much easier. Then they come to the NFL and can’t read defenses for squat.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:32 am
Even a broken clock is right twice a day so, there is hope.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:35 am
isn’t Russell a spread QB ? He does put butter on everything he eats doesn’t he?

Hue has put himself into the perfect position. Assuming he WANTS to be a HC someday. Maybe he likes the duties of OC and likes having his old friend Cable out there doing all the politics, etc that the HC needs to do that the OC doesn’t need to do.
JR needs to get hisself in gear this offseason. He needs to work his feet to the point that he can’t help but lose weight. Skipping rope, running tire and string drills as well as the timing/NFL QB stuff that he has so many issues with.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:39 am
Yeah, Dogg, you’re right..and the difference is huge.
Niners made the mistake of inserting Smith half way through his rookie year, behind one of the worst olines in the league, to replace Rattay, and the defenses had a field day with him.
Seems only this year did he start looking comfortable.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:40 am
trade J. Russell for a broken clock

January 28th, 2010 at 11:29 am
The two most glaring needs on this team are:
OT (Green is a backup and may retire given his age)
DT (Warren is a special teams player making $5 mill year)
Carlisle will be 33 and struggles with large Dlineman.
The next need is guard. Hopefully Gallery is OK otherwise Guard becomes a necessity in round three.
**********************************
C’Mon Charlie, we need a QB!!! That is the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd most important position on the field.
LMAO, a guard more important than a QB. Teams win Super Bowls with guards that are undrafted. Colts start a RG, Kyle Devan, who was undrafted and cut by Washington last year. He replaced a guy from last year, and probably will be replaced in a year or two.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:50 am
RE: Jerry’s take=
Going down the line, it appears that almost ALL OF THE PREVIOUS HEAD COACHES FOR THE RAIDERS, who obviously were fired by Al, went elsewhere and proved that they weren’t just capable, but very very capable.
So…what can we deduce from Jerry’s take above?
Rather somber reality, isn’t it?
January 28th, 2010 at 11:50 am
Yeah but wack-o-chet was also saying how no quality coach would come here. Wrong as usual.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:51 am
Its a good blog byy Jerry…
I think that the only way Rusell is sucessful is:
1. Change his attitude, become more of a leader.
2. Loose weight, become more agile.
3. Get some pocket awareness!!
4. Learn accuracy.
What would help all ALSO is to have a dominant running game like Bill Calahan installed with the jets…
Hopefully Jackson makes this team into a dominant running team like Ravens… WAIT!
RAVENS HAVE RAY RICE!!!!
WE HAVE MCFALLDOWN LOL!!!!
January 28th, 2010 at 11:54 am
if we could get back in the 1st round, trade DMAC and a 3rd and get a 1st round pick, then I would take McClain AND Mike IUPATI, I like these Samoans and I like his long arms..
January 28th, 2010 at 12:00 pm
Iupati is a slam dunk good player. Even though he’s a guard projected by most to be picked between 15-25, I wouldn’t mind grabbing him at No. 8.
And the more I look at Sean Weatherspoon, the LB from Missouri, the more I like him. Raiders were reported to be interested in him at the Senior Bowl. However, I think 8 is probably too high and he probably won’t last that far into Round 2 either.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Iupati could probably play tackle in the NFL. He is that talented.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
I agree Seymour. Which is why I think he’s even more worthy of the No. 8 pick. I prefer him to many of the top-rated OTs. I do also like the OT from USC who’s projected to go in Round 2. He was voted o-lineman of the year in the Pac-10 in an award voted on by the league’s d-lineman. Saw some footage on him and was nothing but impressed. Wouldn’t mind that 1-2 combo in the first two rounds one bit.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
gerard warren is not a special teams player. however he is at his best when he drops back in coverage

=======================================
Russell certainly needs to take his $30mm job more seriously. That would be a good start to resurrecting his career. As for his agility, pocket awareness and accuracy, he had those when he came here. You can see his bad habits like holding the ball too low, and he certainly needs to play MUCH FASTER. Correcting just those two things would make him much better.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
Repost:
My mock:
1. Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho*
2. Charles Brown, OT, USC
3. Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford
3. Javier Arenas, CB, Alabama*
3. Cam Thomas, DT, North Carolina
4. Micah Johnson, MLB, Kentucky
5. Mike Neal, DT, Purdue
5. Trindon Holliday, KR/RB/WR, LSU
7. John Estes, C, Hawaii
* Trade down to mid/late 1st round and pick up a 3rd/4th in the swap.
Some other guys I like:
QB Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan 3rd round
WR Riley Cooper, Florida, 3rd round
WR Seyi Ajirotutu, Fresno State, 5th round
MLB Phillip Dillard, Nebraska, 7th round
DE James Ruffin, Northern Iowa, 7th round
On second thought, if we did get Arenas, who can return kicks, I’d opt for Ajirotutu in Round 5 over Holliday. I was impressed by that kid in the few games I saw Fresno play this year and Marty Schottenheimer singled him out as one of or the most impressive players at the East-West Shrine game (which Schottenheimer coached in). The projected availability is all based on player rankings on CBSSports’ NFL Draft page, which is pretty thorough if you’re looking for lists/info.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
Chris my feeling is if we could get an awesome LT, like Okung you could move Henderson to RT and RIGHT THERE, with one pick, you have solidified TWO POSITIONS ON THE OLINE! Gallery is fine, Satele played better later in the season, altho the jury is still out on him. But right there you might be able to improve your oline very quickly. Maybe the guy from SC could do that as well!

LMAO..You DUMBASS, OAKGLENN.
Where are you going to learn?
Every single time I slap you down, you actually think posting something stupid helps you?
Are you honestly this slow?
Sure..I’ll slap you down again.
NO QUALITY HEAD COACH WILL EVER COME TO OAKLAND.
Now, YOU, in your cranium challenged capacity, wants to say ‘oh…but…ISN’T AN ASSISTANT OR PREVIOUS FAILED HEAD COACH COUNT?????”
NO, DUMBASS..IT DOESN’T.
Now..because you’re small, slow, and a cross posting tool, you get all butt hurt when I torch you..I understand that.
You also understand acting stupid doesn’t fool anyone..yet you still do it.
Right now? NOT ONE QUALITY HEAD COACH WILL BOTHER COMING TO THE RAIDERS.
oakglenn: I’m confused. So what you mean is a BAD OR UNPROVEN COACH will come to Oakland, and very well will succeed elsewhere, AFTER BEING FIRED, but that if he’s already A GOOD HEAD COACH, he won’t stoop to working for Al???
Richochet: Good boy, Oakglenn. You aren’t as stupid as you look…contrary to popular belief.
OakGlenn: “But I am stupid, Ricky..stupid beyond belief. You know I get confused easily. When I do, will you please paste this exact same message. Sometimes even I like to laugh at myself, especially when I play the idiot part.”
Richochet: Sure, Oakglenn..be happy to.
so..question..how far up your ass do you think your head was inserted with your GUARANTEES THAT CRABTREE WOULD NEVER, AS IN EVER, SIGN WITH THE NINERS? And that he would be a TOTAL BUST??
I say at least 3/4.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
we’re not going to trade down and we’re certainly not going to draft a guard 8th overall.
OT & DT in Rounds 1 & 2 (don’t care which order) if we want to have a solid draft
MLB in Round 3
January 28th, 2010 at 12:19 pm
If Tim Tebow had been aborted, It would have made no difference in my life whatsoever. None. Period. Keep abortion legal.

wow MR. you are one classless scumbag
you & Ricky are 2 peas in a pod
January 28th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Calling people classless scumbags just for disagreeing with you is pretty childish, RaiderRockStar. Grow up.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
Arenas is a gamer. I think he’s gone early second round.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
We need lineman. Badly.
WE need a right tackle and we need a DT who primarily stops the run.
I say get a guard in rounds three and four. I still think with Sam Williams and Trevor Scott we should run a 3-4 but Big Al is hard headed with Rush 4/ Man-to-Man/ Cover 1 defense.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:25 pm
Sam Williams???????
January 28th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Nnamdi & CJ are starters at CB
Huff is our nickel corner
Big mistake to waste a high 2nd rounder on another DB …
January 28th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Special teamer and that’s about it.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
CJ got beat, time after time. Plus age might be becoming a factor.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
So who’s the free safety? Eugene?
January 28th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
We need linemen, and a disciplined, focused environment, too. I’d say having a real offensive line might get us to that 9 win area. Maybe. But the lack of cohesiveness and focus kills us, too. Sadly, Al Davis actually believes in having a chaotic environment. With a general manager like that, you really don’t have a prayer. But since we’re stuck with him, we’d might as well fix the line. Could at least put us into wild card contention. I just don’t think Al Davis really cares about the offensive line. Drafted Gallery first round a few years back, and that was it. Gallery picked thanks to Turner’s lobbying? Who knows? Whatever the case, Al Davis has shown since then that he’s as serious about building an offensive line as he is paying his head coach. Quarterbacks are on an island here. It’s why Gradkowski and Frye went down so fast. And if you have someone who needs work, like Russell, starting, it’s really going to be a disaster.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
our weakness in the 4-3 defense is DT & MLB.
in the 3-4 we’d have 1 major weakness at NT and 2 other weaknesses at ILB …
January 28th, 2010 at 12:31 pm
comment 38 is also my case as to why we will never again break the 5 win mark with Al Davis in charge.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
LOL. Sam Williams. We have some delusional Fresno homers here today…
January 28th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
These guys are gushing over Arenas on NFLN.
5 sacks and 5 int’s this year, 7 career punt returns for TD’s.
Dude is a player.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
Bo, my point about Tebow is that his existence has no affect on my life whatsoever. I really don’t see what he’s done for society as a whole, either, other than run with a football. I don’t see where his existence is evidence that abortion is wrong.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
In the hallowed halls of Oakland Raiders headquarters, the venerable hall of fame “Manager of the General Partner” Mr. Allen W. Davis, once again proves the prognosticators in the pro football media as foolish vermin, by once again proving his uncahllenged genius with the hiring of Hue Jackson as offensive coordinator of the “Team of the Decades” the storied Oakland Raiders.
Utilizing his keen intellect and superior football knowledge, Mr. Davis proves once again that age is merely a number. Genius intact, intellect superior to all others, he masterfully maneouvers a deal which shocked not only NFL personnel and fans, but dare I say THE WORLD with what can be called no less than the “Hiring of the Decade” in bringing in Hue Jackson. Mr. Jackson was undoubtedly impressed with the “master” Mr. Davis in conversations with the legend. It can be assumed that Mr. Davis’s trademark charm and inexplicable ability to influence others were keys in netting what some are calling the hottest coaching prospect in professional sports. Fitting that the “hottest prospect’ would beg to come to Oakland and work closely with the most influential and important figure in professional sports for over 50 yrs.; Allan Davis.
Ah yes. Just when the naysayers dare to question “the Master” and his crafty, yet sound insight, he proves them all wrong once again.
Feeble are the attempts to discredit Mr. Davis, and vain are the attempts and minmizing his superior intellect and unrivaled competence.
Somewhere the gods are smiling. They smile a smile of smileness to the one who supercedes all others in excellence; Mr. Allen Davis.
Long live “the Master”.

Great college players but not pro players!
January 28th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
Iupati could probably play tackle in the NFL. He is that talented.
I had the good fortune of watching Iupati this season. He was a man amongst boys in the middle of the line. The Vandals ran up almost 500yards (494) and score 45 points on the road! Lots of that was due to his protections and run blocking. (Of course, their defense gave up 662 yards and 70 points to the Nevada Wolf Pack!)
Keep in mind that Iupati went to Cable-man’s alma mater, so Cable is aware of his accomplishments.
Remember, the main point in the Tebow message is the fact that his mom had a CHOICE. Nothing was mandated either way. That’s how I see it.
As far as Tebow’s career, he won’t make the NFL. I will not watch his preach-a-thons nor will I vote for him….

Anybody with half a brain knows that Hue has talked extensively with Russell and has laid a plan with him to get to where he wants him and where Russell wants to be or else there is no way he takes this job.
Get a clue!! Jackson knows that’s why he’s here and so does anyone else that’s close to this situation. Cable’s job is also tied to wether Jackson can get this done. I can gaurantee that Cable wanted Jackson to come in and help him get Russell right. As much as most people think that is going to be a miracle I don’t think Cable or jackson see it as nearly as daunting a task as the media makes it out to be. That kid is extremely talented and has all the tools to be great. It’s just getting his confidence up. And helping him develope at a steady pace.

Priest: why would his confidence be down?

I don’t think confidence is the issue here!

Arenas won’t fall to the third, he is an early second, what I like any him is that he is sure tackler he will need time to learn man to man but meantime he can play the nickle special teams n help u against the run. My mock draft would be this
1. Campbell OL fast n athletic muscle on top of muscle
2. Either Cody if he drops n rumors that he might be or Arenas
3. D’Anthony Smith fastest DT if we didn’t get Cody if we did LB Washington
3. Micah Johnson MLB
4. Jay Ross NT research abt this guy he could be better than MT Cody huge body I hope other teams don’t snatch him but I m high on this guy.
5. OG Mitch from Arkansas he is very phyiscal good run blocker helped Dmac n F Jones in their college years
hopefully other names start shining

Any draft with Arenas in the second round for us I like.
Whether it is an OT or McClain in round 1, Arenas round 2, and some more line and D help in the 3rd and that should be a good draft.
I want Arenas returning our kicks next year. Instant impact and huge upgrade. If not Arenas, we have to get some young guy to be our KR, both punts and kicks. I don’t know how ready I am for more Nick Miller.

Yeah but wack-o-chet was also saying how no quality coach would come here. Wrong as usual.
==============
NO QUALITY HEAD COACH WILL EVER COME TO OAKLAND.
Now, YOU, in your cranium challenged capacity, wants to say ‘oh…but…ISN’T AN ASSISTANT OR PREVIOUS FAILED HEAD COACH COUNT?????”
================================================
hahahaha. Once again wack-o has come to embarrass himself. If you remember correctly, which is highly doubtful, the point is, when did a major high quality coach go ANYWHERE? What the SUCCESSFUL trend has been is for assitants to come forward and lead their team to success. THAT, is the point. Not that Bill Cowher is not coming to Oakland. Last time I looked, Bill Cowher hasn’t gone anywhere. Neither has Jimmy Johnson, Jon Gruden or Brian Billick. But once again, you would have to be a plain old moron to not get it.
===================
RICHOCHET: First off, DON’T CUT AND PASTE..Lucy gets all frazzled and out of sorts..
And you should know better than to try and backtrack, you idiot.
The point was NOT when did a high quality coach go anywhere (I’ll slap that down in a second, fool) the point WHICH I MADE, AND YOU STUPIDLY CHALLENGED, was ‘NO QUALITY HEAD COACH WILL EVER MAKE THE DECISION TO GO AND BE HEAD COACH IN OAKLAND”..
Same sentiments EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS…now, to refute your sorry diversion attempt, hoping to save face, which failed, is LOTS of quality head coaches go to other teams, you jackass.
Parcells?
Gibbs?
Shanahan?
Those are top tier..and LOTS of quality coaches lose their jobs, for whatever reason, who laugh at the prospect of even interviewing with the Raiders..and the ones that do, many bow out before an offer is even made.
Now..what you MEANT TO SAY WAS THE RAIDERS HAVE HIRED ASSTS AND FORMER SUSPECT HEAD COACHES, then fired them, obviously STUPIDLY, only to see them go elsewhere and succeed.
There..now you try it.
In other words, BECAUSE OF AL DAVIS, COACHES ARE HELD BACK, STUNTED, AND REGRESS..only to shine once they get away from OakSlum.
wow..sounds familiar…isn’t that what PLAYERS SAY ABOUT PLAYING IN OAKLAND? Careers go to die, or stagnate, until they leave?
You clear now, Oakglenny?

==============================================
BTW, you draft a LT that high, he is expected to begin play right away. Jake Long did. But then again, you probably know more about football than Bill Parcells. At least in your own warped mind. hahahaha
January 28th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
RRS, you guy’s blow everything out of proportion. That’s a young kid who’s said on many occasions that he thinks he’s about 60% where he needs to be and I agree with him. He’s never said he doesn’t need to get better because he knows he does. That’s the difference between a guy who wants it and one who doesn’t.
And Jackson knows this or he wouldn’t be here…………period
January 28th, 2010 at 1:18 pm
If Bruce is on the roster, he will be playing by midseason.
Jamarcus is destined to fail. He knows it, the fans know it, his teammates are starting to know it, and Al just won’t fold his hand. He may get bailed out on the river but I don’t see it.
January 28th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
Seymour we had a chance at 4 very good LT draft prospects last year and Al Davis chose DHB
I like everyone’s enthusiasm about eh draft however:
This is how we should draft:
1 OL or DL
2 MLB
3 FB
4 C OL
This how our fearless leader Al Davis will draft:
1. fastest 40 time
2. CB
3. WR
4. Safety
Its another 5-11 season again!

Troy Smith is a free agent & worked under new OC Jackson in BAL.

Quality #2 QB ready for an opportunity to start and win…in OAK!

Expect him to run the power run, deep passing game. Baltimore did a good job with that with McGehee, Rice, Flacco and Todd Heap. All he needs is a couple of Pro Bowl book end OT’s.

Not sure he will run a power run offense with ZBS linemen. ZBS has been a curse. Cable says we dont draft OL because most of them are not fast enough to run ZBS, but we have all of these BS linemen that keep getting their as handed to them. Hopefully Cable will focus on suring up the OL. They are a joke.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) Coach Josh McDaniels has promoted linebackers coach Don Martindale to defensive coordinator, replacing Mike Nolan, who left for a similar job with the Miami Dolphins.
Martindale joined McDaniels’ staff last season after spending five years in that same role with the Oakland Raiders.
Martindale, 46, who is known as “Wink,” hasn’t served as a defensive coordinator since 2003 when he was at Western Kentucky University.
Martindale is the Broncos’ fifth defensive coordinator in five seasons.

So is Sapp. They’re going to be who they are, too. Why are these guys always presented with the choice of being loyal or quiet, yet Al Davis is never presented with the choice of being a better owner? Tim Brown’s a kissass.

The new OC won’t have Russell, or Grads, or whoever throwing the ball more than we run it. I see us going back to more of a power team and play action off that. We will not be in the shotgun or going 3WRs on 1st down. 2 TEs, and jumbo packages.

January 28th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
2010 NFL Free Agent Offensive Linemen
By: Roshan Bhagat
Age as of 9/1/10. “(UFA-CBA)” represents a player that will become an unrestricted free agent if a new Collective Bargaining Agreement is put into place. Otherwise, free agents will be considered with a more realistic outlook of a 2010 season without a CBA in place.
Bobbie Williams, Cincinnati Bengals (33)
Bobbie Williams has been one of the league’s most underrated guards, especially as a run blocker. Even at 33, he was good enough to garner a 2nd team All-Pro bid from me. Williams is one of few elite players who will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. It would be surprising to see the Bengals let him get to that point without offering him a lucrative extension to stay in Cincinnati for next season.
Kevin Mawae, Tennessee Titans (39)
Mawae has started all sixteen games for the Titans this year, but with his contract expiring, the line may turn to Leroy Harris who will have been groomed for 3 years, sparingly seeing the field. If Mawae is up for another season, he could land on a number of teams, or just re-sign in Tennessee. He still has a little gas left in the tank and it the Titans pass on him, several teams will be lining up for him and accept the leadership and high football IQ he would bring to the team.
Chad Clifton, Green Bay Packers (34)
Clifton has suffered an ankle injury earlier this season forcing the Packers to retreat to other options at left tackle. After returning healthy to his position, Clifton and the entire offensive line picked up their play and protected Rodgers at a more respectable level over the 2nd half of the season. Still, Clifton has lost a step and is now more susceptible to speed players and double moves, but is still an average pass protector. If Clifton isn’t offered another contract in Green Bay, where he’s played his entire career, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the franchise’s great blind side protector call it quits. As long as he can continue to play at this level, he’ll still be the best option the Packers have.
Jahri Evans, New Orleans Saints (27) – Restricted FA (UFA-CBA)
Jahri Evans continues to grade out as the team’s best run-blocking linemen week after week, but this year made great strides in pass-protection. The Saints have done a nice job of efficiently running the ball through the middle and on the right side of the line. His continual high level of play and positive, team-first attitude should translate to a high-end offensive guard contract at year’s end. He earned a nod as a 1st team All-Pro, which should add a couple million to his contract. Expect the Saints, who have nothing but positive things to say towards Evans, to richly reward him for his hard work and production, even though they may have more flexibility with Evans potentially becoming a restricted free agent.
Logan Mankins, New England Patriots (28) – Restricted FA (UFA-CBA)
Logan Mankins has been a very consistent player for the Patriots since he was drafted, starting all 80 games in his 5-year career. That type of consistency is difficult to match, but free agency should seriously inflate his value if he becomes unrestricted. The Patriots will most likely lock him up through his early 30’s, solidifying the left side for years to come. Mankins has All-Pro type potential and many feel he had that type of season this year. From what Mankins has said, he wants to stay on this winning franchise, even though he could be one of the top players available next offseason.
Marcus McNeill, San Diego Chargers (26) – Restricted FA (UFA-CBA)
McNeill didn’t play at an elite level this year, but was among the second tier of left tackles that are still quite above average. He’s became one of the “bigger” names at the left tackle position since his spectacular and rookie season, and hasn’t lost too much of his hype. McNeill has also been undercompensated the last few years playing on his rookie contract as a 2nd round pick, which may incline him to ask for more money than he “deserves.” McNeil will be one of many Chargers to become restricted free agents without a CBA, or unrestricted if a new deal is agreed upon. If the latter scenario holds, San Diego will need to prioritize their free agents to try and retain as many as possible, while maintain financial stability in the future. McNeill also has a history of neck and back problems that could weigh into his future.
Jared Gaither, Baltimore Ravens (24) – Restricted FA
After being taken off the field on a stretcher in New England earlier this season, Gaither luckily suffered no season or career threatening injury. His return to the field has boosted the Ravens’ pass protection where he was among the league’s best this year in those regards. He allowed only a handful of sacks this year, but also only a few overall pressures. If the Ravens’ offensive line is playing at a high level, so will the Ravens’ offense. With him and Michael Oher on each side, the Ravens should have a pair of tackles for the next decade, something very few teams can claim. The Ravens will have the ability to place a restricted tender on Gaither for at least one more year, which will give them ample opportunity to work out a long-term extension. Gaither has the length and athleticism that are ideal of a left tackle, but also the potential to still continue to climb.
Willie Colon, Pittsburgh Steelers (27) – Restricted FA (UFA-CBA)
After catching a lot of heat after last season’s wildly inconsistent performance, Willie Colon has made an improvement at right tackle for the Steelers. He’s done an okay job keeping Roethlisberger clean and turning in a season that may not beg for an upgrade this seasoned in one of the better seasons for a right tackle in pass protection this year. Though Colon hasn’t been able to blow people off the snap in run-blocking, he’s done an average job for a line that has done a nice job allowing Mendenhall to become a good, young runner.
Donald Penn, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (27) – Restricted FA (UFA-CBA)
Penn is one of the more underrated left tackles in football today and will be one of many talented offensive linemen set to become unrestricted free agents this year. While Penn didn’t have his best season this year, he has proven in the pass to be one of truly balanced left tackles. Penn does a nice job of keeping the blind side clean of pressure and the Buccaneers have done a nice job this year running over left tackle. The Buccaneers should try to re-sign him quickly because a young left tackle on the market may see some high-end coin.
Jammal Brown, New Orleans Saints (29) – Restricted FA (UFA-CBA)
The Saints place Brown on the injured reserve early in the season after undergoing consecutive surgeries, first for a sports hernia then later for his hip. Jermon Bushrod has done a commendable job filling in for him on the left side, but Brown has the Pro Bowl experience and potential. The Saints could possibly look to trade the one they feel would net the most value this offseason, while keeping the other at left tackle. They could probably also retain both at a relatively cheap price, giving them flexibility to make a move later down the line.
Jermon Bushrod, New Orleans Saints (26) – Restricted FA
The Saints called upon Jermon Bushrod to play left tackle the entire year after placing Jammal Brown to the IR due to a hip injury and a sports hernia. Bushrod has done an admirable job replacing the All-Pro Brown, who will also become a free agent at the end of the year. The Saints will have a pair of interesting choices to make with their two left tackles. Brown will be coming off an injury, but has played at a Pro Bowl level whereas Bushrod is probably the younger, cheaper option with upside. Both of these players are talented and have been productive enough to play left tackle on many teams.
Daryn Colledge, Green Bay Packers (28) – Restricted FA (UFA-CBA)
Colledge is no longer viewed as the solution at left tackle in Green Bay, with rumors that he may even be let go by the team this offseason. Mid-round TJ Lang has taken over the back-up position at left tackle and could also be the future starter at Colledge’s current left guard position if the Packers decide to part ways. He undoubtedly lost some money this season, but his new price could be right for Green Bay to re-sign him. Colledge and the entire offensive line played much better over the second half of the season where veterans Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher settled into their spots at tackle and Scott Wells at center, bringing stability to the entire line. Colledge’s value outside of Green Bay may not be as high as it is within the organization because other teams will be more likely to remember this year’s overall poor performance.

Cable will be the rah rah guy. he’ll talk to the media as Head Coach and give guys group speeches during camp & OTA’s. give his input. make suggestions for FA’s and draft picks. make suggestions for changes on the depth chart. work with Jimmy M to improve the o-line performance. pass out game balls.
he’ll have no REAL play calling or personnel authority though IMO – which may be a good thing!
January 28th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Cable is a decoy, like Heyward-Bey was last year …
January 28th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
I agree Jhill. Cable is now a glorified O-line coach. Al has hand-picked folks to run the O and D. He’ll truly be a lame duck head coach this year if he stays. The face of the team and that’s about it.
Cable – Hey, Hue. Let’s light up the scoreboard this week with the pass!
Jackson – Don’t bother me, Tommy.

RICHOCHET: lmao..YOU IDIOT. Henderson was a sack giving up machine..so you think switching him to the right side, while putting a ROOKIE AT THE ALL IMPORTANT BLIND SIDE TACKLE now SOLIDIFIES TWO POSITIONS ON THE OLINE??
Again..are you a freaking moron?
RICHOCHET: And maybe pigs will fly. Satale sucked, and was pushed around all year. That’s why he was let go..size and lack of strength.
===============================================
hahahaha. Henderson was not a sack surrendering machine, as you claim. But you never get anything right. Satele improved as the season went on. And here let me quote Harvey Fialkov a writer who covers the Miami Dolphins on the 6′2″ 300 lb Satele at the beginning of the season: Intelligence and strength, expected to start at center for the next decade. Wrong as usual. Check mate as usual. Thanks for Calling me oakglen, I can see why you are terrorized by him. He owned you just like I now do.
—————————-
Everyone knows you’re the pantie wearing slapped on board motley fool, OakGlenn..everyone.
You stupidly state ‘Oh, I’ve just been here two weeks” and STUPIDLY COME ON and make the exact same comments to Brown, to me, to MR, to others, lol..you freaking retard.
and now? After you state you don’t know anything prior to you posting here? You state ‘Oakglenn owned you’??
thought you weren’t around? lol…DUMBASS.
All you owned was a pretty little pink dress, and a white flag that you waved..AND THEN RETREATED, WITH TAIL BETWEEN LEGS.
yeah, coward..you got slapped so bad as Oakglenn, YOU HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE..lol..you were the board pinata..”whack, whack whack whack”..you couldn’t duck fast enough.
Only one who’s an easy a target, who’s also completely void of spine and huevos, is priest..the matching worm.
Now..onto schooling you, yet again. HENDERSON, in the middle of November, was second in the league in sacks allowed, and in December LED THE LEAGUE..
Here, dumbass, from rotoworld:
Chiefs LT Branden Albert’s nine sacks allowed are second most in the NFL, behind only Raiders LT Mario Henderson’s 9 1/2.”
Still laughing at you with your “now we fix TWO PROBLEMS”
and Satele was LET GO BECAUSE HE WAS TOO SMALL, AND TOO WEAK. His ONLY asset was his quickness..but kept getting shoved back on his ass, and manhandled.
Cross posting? For cowards, and slapped down tools…good job, OakGlenn..on being both.

I disagree. Cable will work closely with Hue to augment the playbook, and develop gameplans for upcoming opponents. Yes he will focus on Oline, and Hue will focus on the walrus.
As with all HCs, playcalls will go through Cable’s headset and he will doubtless have influence there during games.
The real challenge for both coaches is to have a plan to salvage the season when (I wish it were IF) Russell underperforms. We cannot dumb down the playcalling again.
Oh, and trade DMAC.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Jackson’s second order of business, (after trying to fix King Ex-Lax) is to scrap the two runs up the middle, followed by an incomplete pass, resulting in another punt, gameplan that the fat man liked to use…..

Amazing. A KrappyKell sighting.
Krappy, I’m still speechless that you’d drag yourself back onto the blog after the most humiliating day every seen in BLOG HISTORY.
Because not only were you ridiculed, mocked, teased and tortured for your incessant over posting of the most commonly known Raider stat possible, but then you end up copy and pasting a lame article and claiming it was your own.
Krappy, never in my long history of reprimanding you have I seen such a sorry, pathetic display. Like anyone with half a brain (and trust me, there are more of those posting than I care to mention) couldn’t tell immediately that you were completely incapable of posting something so legible.
Up until that day, Krappy, you were simply the blog doormat, a fun loving buffoon here entirely for our amusement and mockery.
But now that you’ve stepped into the role of RETARDED PLAGIARIST, yo’ve left me no choice but to alert the blog authorities and have you dealt with properly.

We have a bet.
One C note says otherwise.
My prediction…JaBlubberButt comes into first mini-camp waddling like a beached whale…waves off the notion he won’t show up shortly in top notch shape.
OTA’s show JaMongoBuns again waddling in..with assurances that his 24 Hr Fitness membership badge is “in the mail”.
JR crams last week before training camp, and is down to 283..which, to him, is svelte and sleek. JR shows up with more new bling, a new fox coat this time, while stopping at the gate to purchase a dozen new beanies from a vendor to wear on the sidelines, just in case.
The rest is history
January 28th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Cable waited until Week 11 when we were 2-7 to bench JaMarcus …
How long will Jackson wait (assuming he flops again)?
A. Week 1
B. Mid-Season
C. JR is 16 game starter
January 28th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Has Cable actually hired even ONE of the assts?
I think not.
Last year most assts were hired while Cable was away.

Vince Wilfork? that’d be nice.
but Gerard Warren is still under contract and he’s one of Al & Tom’s favorites. making starter money, but Al won’t drop him because he doesn’t want to prove the donks right for dumping him in exchange for a 5th round draft pick …

I would tell you what Jackson may be able to do that no other can.
However it involves talk of young, immature men and we all know how jacked up you get over the subject.
Take some well intended advice.
Just stick to hating on Al and the raiders, its what you bring to the table and its all you do.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Plunkethead, the reason why you can’t explain just how Jackson will motivate Russell is because you really have no clue as to how. You’re just hoping he can because he’s black, which is retarded. The Raiders already have black coaches on their staff. Black people don’t speak some coded language to motivate each other. That’s just not how it works, despite what Rush Limbaugh has told you.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
Russell will be our starter next year. But a black OC motivating him? Ha!

January 28th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
Plunkethead, go to any sports bar, or any place where there’s sports fans in general, not necessarily Raider fans, and tell them your theory about how Russell is going to be better now because he has a black offensive coordinator who’s going to put a “foot up his ass”. Watch their reaction. You’ll probably be asked to leave and be permanently 86′d from the joint, especially if you’re white; as well you should be. Because you’d have to be racist and insane to believe such a thing.

last year? There’s Cable, NOT SIGNED as HC, yet sent out to do Al’s bidding, while Al signs the assts.
Cable meekly just doing what’s told, basically for free, not on any payroll.
Now? He’s got reporters coming up telling HIM WHO WAS JUST HIRED for his staff?
Honestly..can you just imagine ANYONE WHO’S QUALITY wanting to come and be treated like that?
Amazing..just freaking amazing.
From overruling Turner’s decisions, to blaming things on Shell, to airing all dirty laundry regarding Kiffin, to demeaning Gruden’s efforts while he was with team, to treating Cable like he’s a flunky, while blatantly announcing the guys not even invited to sit in for interviews?
Why even offer that info? Why have it posted ‘Raiders stated Cable was not present for the interviews”?

He’s a noted woman beater.

Also, I disagree with Poole on the race part. If it just took a black man to motivate Russell, why couldn’t so many black people who work with him motivate him already. Is Jackson blacker than our black players? than our other black coaches?

Norco, no way your mountain party babes can even compare to the sweet tanned tail we’ll be bagging down Mexicali way.
Me and my party crew have pretty much nailed anything that can crawl or swim from Acapulco to Alaska and there’s no denying the ladies of Nor Cal are pretty low down on the hot ho food chain.
But there’s no denying most go pretty good with a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and an oil change.
Hey Krappy, I’m in talks with Jerry right now to limit your blog privileges to Mon – Tues from 3:40 – 4:15 am.
More to come ….
January 28th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
Sure, Norco, every woman who gets hit deserves it, until it happens to your mother or sister.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
What other black coaches?…were any involved with the qb position?…nope, just a couple old white dudes.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:37 pm

Ask the fat man, if he still thinks he’ll be getting a pay check from A.D Football Inc., next October?…or..
If he thinks it’s possible that, JaKingex-lax be the next celeb spokesman for Jenny Craig?

January 28th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
That pig of an ex of his, gets on espn for money,..to drum up 25 year old slap in the face, and was asked to and paid for by Hansons lawyer,..I think she deserved it,…so did Hanson.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
IF Al Davis even remotely believed that a black quarterback coach would be need to motivate his black quarterback, why wouldn’t he hire a black quarterback coach in the first place?
January 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
When did Cable beat a woman?
I thought one looney broad accused him of slapping her 20 years ago.
That hardly makes one a woman beater.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
I dont really like Cable, but has nothing to do with his ex or Hanson.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
Sure, Norco, the woman deserves it, unless it’s your mother, sister, etc.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
He hired one now because of that MR,..he saw Russell didnt listen to those two old honkeys,..Hue is Russells last chance, and I bet hes been told that, by Hue.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Slapping women in ok, plunkethead?
January 28th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
MR,..I dont care what Cable did 25 years ago, he didnt kill the biitch, slapped her,..if he did it in the last 10 years or so maybe,..good Lord man, was a long time ago.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
You keep bringing up my mother and sister,..to save you the trouble bro, I currently have neither of those.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
I bought some hash at a medical pot shop today in Antelope,..its pretty dang good.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Norco, if Al Davis was crazy enough to believe that he needed a black offensive coordinator to work with Russell, he would have hired one right away. That is a nutty, racist as hell point of view. And anyone who walks around with such points of view usually acts on them constantly. If Al Davis really thought Russell needed a black coach, one would have been brought on from the jump. Maybe that explains Culpepper. This doesn’t surprise. Davis is a racist. Uses blacks as pawns. I already knew that. I’m not saying he wouldn’t do it. I’m arguing against the idea that it would work.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
“likely won’t hurt his chances to bond with Russell”
***********************************
How could you disagree with that? It’s not like he said it definatelly will help, just that he likely won’t hurt.
I agree with that 100%

Special to ESPN.com
Business as usual for wacky Raiders
Al Davis hired a coach with little input from Tom Cable this week. So what else is new?
No need to feel pity or outrage for Tom Cable despite the terminally weird image of the Oakland Raiders head coach walking around the Senior Bowl this week with no portfolio, not so much as a you-da-man for next season from the Raiders’ front office. After all, as of this writing, Cable is still getting paid by Al Davis despite:
(a) Allegedly popping an assistant coach during a preseason exchange.
(b) Going 5-11 with a Raiders team that produced 17 offensive touchdowns in 16 games.
(c) Having his ugly past domestic issues splayed about the local tabloids and on ESPN for grins and giggles. And, far most egregiously…
(d) Saying JaMarcus Russell stinks.
Well, Cable didn’t say that. He mostly only thought it last season, as Russell danced along to a 50.0 quarterback rating and 11 interceptions against three touchdown passes. But it was still widely seen as a firing offense in the Wonderful World of Al when Cable, in a rash burst of honesty, replied to a question by saying “you know that we would have” made the playoffs with even an average performance at the quarterback position.
That’s a direct shot at Russell, to whom Davis guaranteed a franchise-crippling amount of money as a No. 1 draft bust and, however incomprehensibly, remains committed despite what everybody saw out there in 2009.
Yet several weeks beyond Cable’s verbal hara-kiri, nothin’. Cable isn’t technically the head coach for next year yet, but he hasn’t been fired, either. Davis has added assistants — Mike Waufle on the defensive line, Hue Jackson to coordinate the offense — without much in the way of Cable-grams. (As Jackson noted this week, he spoke almost exclusively with Davis, not Cable, during the interview process.) Yet there is Cable, in Mobile, for some reason or other. And the thinking now is that Davis may well retain the man as long as Cable isn’t, you know … calling any plays or getting in the way of anything important.
Maybe Davis is happy with the job Cable did under the circumstances. Maybe Al, always a players-first owner, took note of the support Cable enjoys within the locker room. Perhaps the old man doesn’t want to pay Cable money for nothing, and can’t figure out how to enforce the “for cause” part of a firing procedure. Maybe Davis is simply playing the role of the contrarian, which rumor has it he invented back in the day.
This just in: It won’t get better. Not for the Raiders. Not for Cable. And certainly not for the dwindling Oakland fan base, which is bestowing new meaning upon the sporting term “hard-core.”
If you’re waiting for Al Davis to change his way of doing business at the age of 79, here’s hoping you packed a lunch. While Davis in his dotage has struck some observers as enigmatic, the larger truth is that he’s a fairly linear football guy. No matter the realities of the era that surrounds him, Al likes certain things now to almost the precise extent he always did.
Davis favors, for example, the downfield pass and the quarterback who can throw it, which explains why a guy like Russell could parlay a nice Sugar Bowl performance and some really cool pre-draft tosses from his knees into a $61 million payday ($32 million guaranteed, for those crying at home). Davis favors the “athletic” receiver as opposed to the truly professional one, which explains Darius Heyward-Bay, another draft-day Titanic.
And, very notably, Davis favors the order of command. That’s the one with Al up top and everybody — and I do mean everybody — well below the observation deck.
A friend recently committed unintentional humor when he asked if there were a way for the Raiders to “humanely” move Davis out of his role as the club’s top executive, as if Al were a stray pet in need of a new start. In a word: nope. There is no informed reading of the situation that would lead anyone to conclude Davis is prepared to surrender control of his franchise. If seven straight seasons with 11 or more defeats hasn’t done it, nothing will.
All of which brings us back to Cable, the man who might have thought he turned a corner with Davis during the Sahara march of 2009 when he finally persuaded the owner to allow him to bench Russell. The move was nearly outright applauded in the Raiders’ locker room, where teammates had long since concluded Russell wasn’t ever going to be the guy. Russell’s replacement, Bruce Gradkowski, was hailed as a conquering hero for coming to work prepared. It was a giddy minute or two.
Comes now the winter, and Davis’ primary move has been to hire a man, Hue Jackson, who — after his many conversations with Davis — speaks enthusiastically of getting Russell “playing the way we all wish that he can perform.” In other words, it’s back to square one, with JaMarcus at the helm — just as Al Davis would have it, which is the same thing as saying it will be done.
Memo to Cable, for 2010 and beyond: When you cash the checks, it means you forfeit the right to act surprised.

Vince Wilfork? that’d be nice.
but Gerard Warren is still under contract and he’s one of Al & Tom’s favorites. making starter money, but Al won’t drop him because he doesn’t want to prove the donks right for dumping him in exchange for a 5th round draft pick …
*****************
Why is everybody so worried about what money AD is paying these athletes. Personally, I could really give a crap. It’s not my money so all I care about is that the athlete in question gives his all and is part of the solution and not part of the problem. Balancing the books is AD’s worry not ours.
As far as Gerrard warren goes, I don’t care what AD is paying him. I’ve seen him make some good pays and bad ones too. He, at a minimum, would be a good back-up at the DT position. Generally speaking, our backup quality of linemen is not all that good particularly on the offensive side. Some seem to be concerned that he’s getting starters pay. I say to those people don’t be concerned, IT’S NOT YOUR MONEY! Be more concerned about getting quality players on the roster, BOTH at the starter level and at the backup level. If AD wants to pay these guys more than the market price, let him. There’s no skin off your butt if he dose so get over it. The real travesty to be uptight about is the player who gets an outrageous salary and doesn’t put in the effort necessary for the task at hand – just thunk JaBustus. Now there is someone to get pissed off at. We need to get rid of any player that fits that mold. They are just LOSERS and we don’t need them around.

Hey Albert, you sassy little English tot!
How the heck have you been? I hope you’ve finished classes for the day, because if you’re just goofing off I’ll have no choice but to contact the head of your boarding school and have your bum bum paddled in the Quad.
I’m sure you’ve heard all the news about the 2010 Baja Broham Surf & Squirt Adventure, but don’t get your hopes up for an invitation. Kids as pale as yourself are usually not allowed in Papas & Beer and I’m sure you’d be sick for a week after eating just one of Dakota’s signature Gordito creations.
But don’t lose all hope! If you manage good grades and convince your parents to let you summer in Pacific Beach, I may decide to let you tag along.

January 28th, 2010 at 4:03 pm
I think Beecham’s trying to be like Norco, too, always talking about partying and everything. You guys realize that Norco Bob is likely some highly educated, former frat boy who works for IBA and knows how to get our attention. He probably has a nice wife and family. Be yourselves. It’s sad enough to try to be like someone in real life, but to imitate a cyber personality? Yikes!

Plunkethead, Norco actually invited me to drink with him at a bar I know of in Sacramento. I thought about meeting him there till I realized he probably doesn’t even exist. I don’t pop pills. A little vicodin when I have serious dental work done, that’s it.

and Satele was LET GO BECAUSE HE WAS TOO SMALL, AND TOO WEAK. His ONLY asset was his quickness..but kept getting shoved back on his ass, and manhandled.
====================================================
Now the facts. Let’s read the scouting report from Lindy’s Scouting Guide:
Samson Satele, G/C, Hawaii
One of the strongest Centers in the draft. Very aggressive, explodes off the line like a shark after prey. Very experienced in pass protection: Hawaii rarely ran the ball.
Once again, when wack-o is confronted with actual FACTS everything he says devolves into garbage or lies. But again, a good comeback would be to just start calling me “oakglen.” That refutes undeniable fact. Suuuuuurrrre.

I believe you draft for the future, but sign veterans for the present. In two months, AL could go after top free agents available, maybe Vince Wilkfork or Casey Hampton might be available along with Mcneil and other OL, should we build our team by drafting rookies or should AL prepare his check book ?

I mean, what a simplistic point it is to begin with. Any Raider fan under the age of 6 knows Al’s been doing a horrible job as the GM.
How is it possible an aged old fossil like yourself believes hammering that same, rudimentary point home day in and day out will do any good?
You’re just like the mental patient in the straight jacket banging his head against the wall until his brains start leaking out of his ears. The only difference is that guy has far less man chili in his diapers than you.

No. Mays’ stock is falling faster than what little remained of richochet’s credibility. Mays had problems in pass coverage that was exposed this last season. No reason to have a safety that can’t cover college guys. Pros would eat him alive. That makes him a tweener. Not a good thing.

But after posting here for a few weeks I have found pissing all over you is not that big a deal. You can’t defend yourself. In fact you rather like being pissed all over, don’t you wack-o?
=======================
You are Captain Black. Slapped your sorryass down as CappyFool, and you then signed in as SeyMoron.
Yeah, you and AIG are both silly little tools who do exactly what you did above..you POST COMMENT AFTER COMMENT directed to me..over and over and over, lol..and then, like AIG, you wonder where I am.
Yeah..you’re both idiots..both easy..both follow me..both ask about me.
But..Brown is right..as was others who called you out as being so freaking obvious, lol.
Cross posters are cowards.
You were one before you changed your name..now? Geez…hard to say..how does spineless coward fit?
Again..if I got slapped down like you did? I would whimper off as well.

Of course, we can’t plug all our holes with rookies, but rounds 1-3 are pretty important for us this year.

Guys, can we talk about Raider football?
I am just wondering how many of you really believe that solving the defensive or offensive problems with drafting rookie players will lead us to a winning record?
I believe you draft for the future, but sign veterans for the present. In two months, AL could go after top free agents available, maybe Vince Wilkfork or Casey Hampton might be available along with Mcneil and other OL, should we build our team by drafting rookies or should AL prepare his check book ?
==================================================
Good questions. Let’s see if we can give you decent answers. Almost everyone on the AFC Championship Indy Colt team was drafted by them. Same with last years Pittsburgh team. The Saints really are a mish mash of players they drafted and players they signed through free agency. Arizona on the other hand was predominantly drafted players except on their Oline. It seems that winning teams have predominantly drafted well, and then filled a couple of major spots with good free agent pick ups. That seems to be the plan for success. Time to prepare for the draft.
January 28th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
We have 10 games against the NFC West and AFC West next year. We should do no worse than 8-2 against those teams!

What Is A Troll?
The term derives from “trolling”, a style of fishing which involves trailing bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The troll posts a message, often in response to an honest question, that is intended to upset, disrupt or simply insult the group.
Usually, it will fail, as the troll rarely bothers to match the tone or style of the group, and usually its ignorance shows.
Why do trolls do it?
I believe that most trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful.
Disrupting a stable newsgroup gives the illusion of power, just as for a few, stalking a strong person allows them to think they are strong, too.
For trolls, any response is ‘recognition’; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response.
Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it’s a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny?
Remember that trolls are cowards; they’ll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that’s what they do!).

Draft: Swap 1st round positions with NE for the rights to sign Vince Wilfork (Points equals the value of low 1st pick, high 2nd round pick)and then sign the best OT at 22.
January 28th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
I think its clear to see what is bothering old Kell,…you MR seem to need me to explain things alot, likely so you can pick them apart to fit your theories, so I will let old Kells ongoing themes speak for themselves.
January 28th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
I don’t think they would swap us spots. But, I like the idea of swapping for Wilfork. And he seems ready to leave.
January 28th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Oh old Kell,…why not just tell YOUR thoughts on what a troll is?…was someone elses article better then your idea?…did you even have one?…gooling “troll” and pasting an article,..pretty weak bud.
January 28th, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Bob, I need you to explain things a lot because a lot of things you say make absolutely no sense, like the insinuation that Kell is jealous of anyone employed with the Raiders or anyone who comments here. I don’t see it.

============================================
If we are going to try to run the ball and have a deep passing offense we ABSOLUTELY have to have a stellar offensive line. If Russell Okung is on the board, we HAVE to take him. Installing him at LT and moving Henderson to RT might solve a lot of problems. If he isn’t and McClain is there, you HAVE to take him. If neither are available, either one of the other OT’s or a trade down might not be a bad option, with an eye on fixing some Oline positions in the 2nd round.

Social Interaction of a Troll.
Social Interaction
Trolls don’t have friends. On the internet, because they interact with human beings, they can convince themselves that they are important, the centre of the universe – that, to them, is better than any friendship. Don’t forget, the troll thinks he is always right, and therefore better than other folk. In real life, exactly the opposite applies. the troll has no friends and virtually no interaction with other people.
If he’s a teen (many are), then he lives in his bedroom, trolling, playing computer games with ‘friends’ (who he doesn’t know at all), and joining roleplay sites, where – of course – he is a hero, or a powerful villain, who is respected in an inverse ratio to the respect he feels for himself.
If he’s an adult, then he has serious social issues. He may work, where people think he’s a weirdo, and avoid him, he may sponge off his parents or be ‘looking for work’, which means he blames everyone for his problems. Except himself.
Most people who are out of work are nothing like the stereotype; most want to work, and gain their self respect through work and being part of the world; but the troll IS the stereotype whining scrounger, to whom the world owes a living.

January 28th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
If Al Davis signs Wilfork, he’s redeemed in my eyes. You read it. Wilfork and Seymour? Arguably two run stoppers as good as any in the league on OUR defensive line? Two run stoppers on the Oakland Raiders defensive line? The last time we were even close was with D. Russell, Glover, Grady, etc.

——————————–
Sex Life
Almost every troll is male; I don’t know why this is.
The troll has few social skills, and most have never had a girlfriend, many never will.
There’s a clear pattern among trolls; they are much more likely to ignore posts known to be from women. And when they do respond to women, they are much more likely to be brief, abusive, condescending and patronising.
This is almost certainly more due to fear than misogyny – they just don’t know any women. Except Mom. But their attitude rather reduces their chances of reproducing, which is probably a good thing.

Not a big fan of Henderson at RT. Think we need more of a road grader there. Henderson took a big step back this year, and he was mediocre to begin with.

We can’t stop teams from scoring? No, it’s neither of those. What is our problem on defense? And the coaching staff has remarked on this at least 6 times last year. I am asking.

Mental Health of Trolls.
This is really pathetic.
It would be easy to dismiss trolls as mentally ill. Easy and wrong. Most would not score significantly on mental illness assessments. But most are simply immature. Fair enough in a teenager, and they have a chance of growing out of it (though the longer they leave it, the harder they may find it to break the habit). But in adults, it’s simply sad.
Once upon a time, they would have been called ‘inadequate psychopaths’; attention seeking loners, forever feeling sorry for themselves, but too bone idle to lift themselves out of their self-selected mire. Some live in a fantasy world, and find it hard to concentrate on real life; they can’t make eye contact, and will say just about anything, frequently contradicting a previous statement.

January 28th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
Costs money to stop the run. We need a couple more run stoppers, but Al Davis will never build a flat out run stopping defense. You have to prioritize most of your money on defense now days to do that. Plus, I don’t think Al can scout the talent, anyway. We’d need a GM to do that, too. And a defensive coach who knows how to get guys into position. But a couple more run stoppers would help us. We had a decent run defense when Gruden first got here. And we didn’t spend that much money on it. Just a bunch of good football players down in the trenches.

Now you are contradicting yourself again saying I am not aig, but I am Captain Black, and then 20 minutes later I am someone else. I have been here for three weeks and have never seen Captain Black. I think you have SO CONFUSED YOURSELF, you don’t even know what you are talking about anymore. And all of this because the statements you made were proven to be out an out lies. Go tell lies somewhere else troll. No one has time for you here.

You have to build at the trenches first. Trenches and QB, two top, simultaneous priorities, IMO. Everything else comes after those two things.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
The #8 pick better be on OT, MLB, or RDE since the DT’s Suh and McCoy will not be there.
Anyone see how fat and out of shape Cody looks??
His body puts Andre Smiths to shame!
Cody came in to Senior Bowl at 6′4, 370….according to Mayock.
I will say this again….an overweight, out of shape two down player like Cody sure as heck is not worth the #8 overall pick or #8 pick money.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
The only thing the Raiders need to do this year is
A) Draft reasonably smart, fill needs.
B) Let the best man win the Quarterback job.
And I will remain a happy fan.
I know, I know, I have high expectations.
But seriously, just let the best man in camp do the job, and if that’s JR, I’d be incredibly happy with that, because that will mean he put some work in.
But all any fan can ask is that their team fields the best team possible to win.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Nice heads up on Cable. Come on Al. Shock the nation and trade that first pick to New England for Wilfork.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Why isn’t anyone suggesting that we should draft a QB, or try to trade for a franchise QB? A lot of the people who want Russell gone seem to be wishing for Al to play whoever wins the roster spot, etc. We obviously don’t have a franchise QB. So why isn’t that on the wish list for any of you? I think we need a QB and an offensive and defensive line. I really think we’re starting from scratch. Sad, I know. 7 years. But it’s true. The sooner we face it, the better.

I just do not understand Davis’s Defensive theory? If you have the best corners and safties (in theory), then why would you not blitz your backers? Davis only likes to bring pressure with the front four?
January 28th, 2010 at 5:25 pm
A lot of you who want a GM had better understand what a GM would do as soon as he or she stepped foot here. They would take a pipe bomb to the place. Even Lechler and Nnamdi wouldn’t be safe. Their salaries could be used elsewhere, particularly on the lines. Most GMs would rather have good lines and a decent punter than hideous lines, as we have now, and the best punter in the game.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:25 pm
You all ready for this?
January 28th, 2010 at 5:25 pm
It’s not that we can’t stop the run. There are a lot of times we play run defense exceptionally well, against good running teams. The issue with the Oakland Raider defense is and the coaches have said this many times, we give up TOO MANY big plays. You guys like stats right? Number one in number of FORTY PLUS YARD RUNS? Oakland. Followed by St. Louis, and Detriot. Not good company. You know how many Indy gave up? none. Number of 20+ yard runs: Tampa Bay, followed quickly by us.
Number of big plays in the passing game? We fall to number three!
Last time I looked, 700 lbs of defensive tackles were not getting knocked 40 yards down the field. But then maybe I watch the game differently than you guys.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
I met some really cool chicks the other night at one of my shows. After a while, I realize one of them is Alyssa Mylano. Can you believe it! Alyssa was at my show!!! That is almost better than the Chargers winning the Super Bowl.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
What cracked me up is when Davis was asked about our blitzing after a particular game, don’t remember if it was this year or last year, and he said, “we didn’t blitz, we attacked”. LOL. What? I think it’s just about pride. Somebody who he butted heads with at some point somewhere, likely SD, Syracuse, who knows? But anyway, somebody invented or at least coined the phrase “blitz” and Al just doesn’t want to give him any credit. I think that’s the case. Look up the term blitz, who coined it first, or even the philosophy, and see if there’s any association between him and Al. Why else would Al be so ashamed of just admitting that his defense used the blitz, per se, to win a game?
January 28th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
we stop the run a lot. we stopped LT in both san diego games.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Al just has too much pride. He’s a proud man. Unfortunately, he’s also a loser. He’s at a crossroads and he’s going to have to decide which is more important.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
SatanFears and Oakglenn,
I mean stop the run consistently, not just one game here and there.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Vince Wilfork said that he wants to get paid top money, NE are known as a cheap organization, my conclusion in this, NE would trade Wilkfork for 1st round pick and Wilfork will love playing with Seymour and getting paid top money he deserves. Question is, how will AL be able to afford paying Asmough, Wilfork and Seymour over 10 mill a year each while others like Jabust, DHB and DMAC are also being payed top money. Its impossible to pay close to close to 80 mill between these players Seymour, Wilfork, Asmough, DHB, JR, DMAC, Huff, Gallery, Lechler, Jano, Kelly and CJ. 12 players commanding over 80 mill is crazy how would you fill the remaining 41 players? Our team salary will skyrocket to over 150 mill does AL have that kind of money?
January 28th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
If we stopped the run “a lot” we’d be a playoff team, Satanfears. You think we’re stupid.

January 28th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
Like I said, Raiders4eve, if I’m a GM coming into Oakland, Lechler and Seabass are gone. QB and trenches are top priority, punter and FG kicker are practically at the bottom of the list. The fact that we’re as bad as we are and have two high paid kickers is part of our problem. Lechler would probably get on elsewhere. Seabass would probably be out of the league. An Al scholarship if there ever was one.

The kickers are the few holdovers from the Gruden regime. It’s not a priority, in fact our special teams are for the most part pretty weak. But notice that other than Lechler and Jano, we have no 8,9,10 year vets that we drafted during that time. Neither will Tampa Bay in 6-8 years.

It’s not a priority, Seymour? Tell me again what Jano and Lechler’s salaries are. That’s cap space that can be much better applied in higher priority areas, like the trenches, for starters. What we’re spending on special teams considering how bad we’ve been is just f’n ponderous. Only the Raiders. Only Al Davis. And it’s insane. It doesn’t win games, …Seymour.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Midwest Fan: no. The reason is Ellis and Seymour have some life left in them, and Shaughnessy, Scott, and Jay Richardson still have some promise. DE at this point, is not a priority.

That is clearly an Alyssa Milano autograph signing of some sort. She’s holding a pen and you can see part of her name on the sign in the background.

January 28th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
MR
Jano and Lechler will get paid well if they leave the Raiders, as you saw in the playoffs its hard to find good kickers, Jerry Jones would jump up on having both of them play for his team.
As far as priority goes, I agree for this team we dont need to kicker getting payed 4 mill each, I would rather draft a 6th rounder and undrafted free agent to kick and punt for this team. Pay that 8 mill to someone like Hampton or Wilfork if we trade for him.
Bottom line, the reason we are not a playoff team is really clear to anyone who understands football. Its the QB position, this league is becoming a pass friendly game. Wrs are protected from CBs. A little hold and its pass int penalty. Thats how teams are winning, not running the ball but passing the ball and playing defense. Our defense would be hella good if we had an offense that gave them time to breath. Stopping the run while well rested is easier than stopping the run when you forced in the field every other second. Our offense needs to control the time of the clock. It all begins in finding a good QB. Therefore, I think the only way we would be good is if we get a new Gannon who could revive his career been a Raider, who is that, Mcnabb. Mcnabb is a pro bowler a good QB that struggles occasionally in philly, he is not appreciated by the philly fans. If he comes here, he could start playing and being himself, our media would love him. We need a QB more then OL, DL or anything.
January 28th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
Our run defense is living in abject poverty!
Stopping the run starts up front. This BIZARRE strategy Oakland employs to have backup caliber DTs and rely on the strong safety to stop the run is WHY this team is absolute garbage right now.
You want to stop the doggone run? Get a big boss NT that commands double teams and clogs the running lanes.
Al DAvis has to get out of his mind the idea that all 11 players should be either pass coverage or pass rushers.
The Raider defense is the weakest in the league. A bunch of speedy players that get blown off the line of scrimmage snap after snap after snap
January 28th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
Krappy, how long can you avoid the topic of why you blatantly plagiarized that article from the Bleacher Report (a lame one, at that) and pretended you wrote it?
Really, Krappy, in a lame blog career filled with one low light after another, this was as low as even you could possibly sink.
Come clean, Krappy. It’s the only way!
January 28th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Build the lines. That’s all. Build the lines. The keys to the Ravens and Jets have to do with O-Lines that allow for a strong running game and give the QB time.
Our soft to the touch o-line is the worst in the nfl.
Why? Because Davis is out of his mind. He keeps drafting receivers and cornerbacks.
This team has no toughness…

Raiders4eve, what I meant was that since we’re not winning, there’s no reason to have high paid kickers. If you already have a team, that’s a different story. Hence, prioritizing. You build the offense and defense first, then special teams. We have no offense or defense, and we’re paying our punter and kicker like kings?

“I love great weather,” Wilfork said. “I love football. It doesn’t matter where I play. I just want to have security for my family. I would love to stay in New England if I had the chance. I love New England because of my teammates, my family. My son, the friends and connections we’ve made up there, it’s some great people up there. But if it doesn’t work out I’ll weigh my options I tell you that.”
Wilfork has said that he doesn’t want the Patriots to use the franchise tag to retain his rights. But it’s not really Wilfork’s choice. Under the labor deal, the teams have the right to apply the franchise tag to one unrestricted free agent per year. And no amount of pissing or moaning by the player can change that.

madden talking about how he kicked out the exterminators from the visitor’s locker room in oakland and let the rats live for another day as the chiefs were coming in for a game. classic.
January 28th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
no angst just passing time
January 28th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Wilford “loves great weather” but would love to stay in New England?
Wow..does it get much nastier than New England?
If he’s cool with that, he’s going to LOVE California.
Florida? Winter is nice, but summer’s it’s total misery, IMO.
California?
No better weather in the country.
January 28th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Actually..should narrow that down to the Bay Area as having no better weather in the country.
never too hot..never too cold…rarely hits 100…rarely hits 32 degrees.
T shirts in the winter for many days…sometimes a wind breaker in the summer, especially in SF.
Yep..love the place

Mike Mayock has Suh listed as his SECOND DT off the board…
January 28th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
The football media is doing a downright shoddy job of covering Prince Tebow’s practices at the Senior Bowl. I mean, at this rate, I can’t even keep an accurate chart of the kid’s bowel movements. WTF?
In terms of ad nauseum media coverage:
Tebow = Favre 2.0

Arenas won’t fall to the third, he is an early second, what I like any him is that he is sure tackler he will need time to learn man to man but meantime he can play the nickle special teams n help u against the run. My mock draft would be this
1. Campbell OL fast n athletic muscle on top of muscle
2. Either Cody if he drops n rumors that he might be or Arenas
3. D’Anthony Smith fastest DT if we didn’t get Cody if we did LB Washington
3. Micah Johnson MLB
4. Jay Ross NT research abt this guy he could be better than MT Cody huge body I hope other teams don’t snatch him but I m high on this guy.
5. OG Mitch from Arkansas he is very phyiscal good run blocker helped Dmac n F Jones in their college years
hopefully other names start shining
^^^^^^^^^
Not a bad mock and if Cody remains out of shape by the combine…his stock may very well fall into the 2nd round.
Micah Johnson would be a great pick with one of those two 3rd round picks.

Man i like Mike Mayock mock drafts and evaluation. If I was a GM, I would hire this guy in a heartbeat. He is sick with it when it comes to evaluating talent, remember he was the only one who said Mcfadden has questions in his game, he was also down on Gholston, I followed this guy for a while, he even apologized to the Raiders fans the second day after criticizing MM pick. This guy is talented wished AL would hire him.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Mayock is pretty good. He’s not perfect and he does like to throw around every past projection he got right a little much while never remembering ones he blew, but he knows his stuff and has a passion for the game and for scouting.
I still think McFadden is going to make a name for himself if he ever gets more than 8-10 touches per game.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
mayock did nail the dhb pick dead on.

Ahh! Here we go!

He’s got Gerald McCoy rated #1 amongst DTs…
January 28th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
I was surprised to see Mayock rate McCoy ahead of Suh, but McCoy is also a beast and a lot of people have him rated as the No. 2 overall player at any position behind Suh.
Dan Williams from Tennessee also looks like he could be a beast. Lot of DT talent in this draft. Once again, it’d be a great year to have a pair of late 1st round picks as opposed to a single top-10 pick. I feel like there’s virtually no dropoff in talent with some of the guys projected to be picked later in the opening round, such as Williams, Iupati and others.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
Raiders4eve: No doubt at all. Mayock is the MAN when it comes to the draft. He’s the only one who had Al nailed down on his Bey pick. Knows the ole coot when by now, we really all should too! Still, it was a shock…
Yup, he nailed DMC to a T unfortunately…right about Ghouston’s struggles and that Howie’s kid may have topped out in college.
Knows his shizz for sure…
Heres the deal with DMC. He needs big run lanes to scoot thru and plays out side and in space that allow him to use his best trait SPEED, so GIVE THEM TOO HIM!!!
Fix the O line please…
January 28th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Chris in NY: Agreed. I’d like to see a DT drafted…some beef!
January 28th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Actually I saw Lombardi predict the DHB pick before anyone. Not sure if he had inside info from his old Raiders connections or he just knew more than anyone how crazy in love with the stopwatch the Raiders are.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
I am telling you guys, if AL hires Mayock and tells him he wants fast atheltic players who can play football, Mayock would do much better than what AL would do. Mayock would have drafted Maclin instead of DHB, he would have drafted Jairus Byrd instead of MM, he probably would have got us OL in the remaining draft.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
This is the skill position lineup I like for next year:
QB – Jeff Hostetler
RB1- Kenny King
RB2- Napoleon McCallum
WR1- Mervyn Fernandez
WR2- Alexander Wright
TE- Ethan Horton

I’m not buying the hype on Byrd just yet. Guy got a ton of picks early on but that could’ve easily been a fluke. Still think Mitchell could prove the second-coming of Tatum too.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
By the way,
Never thought all that much of him as a head coach but I absolutely love the job Greg Williams is doing in New Orleans. He’s coordinating the sh!t out of that defense. Love their style.

Brilliant!!
Guy says hes not buying the hype around Jarious Byrd, a guy who was a big time contributer as a rook, but says Mike Mitchell, who rarely played outside of STs, is the next Jack Tatum. Thats just awesome! LOL!!!!
January 28th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
CHOKED UP FOR THE PLAY-OFFS!
January 28th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Only a Raider fan would call Player A) with like 10 piks and who started damn near all year a “fluke” and then call Player B) with zero starts and zero piks the next “Jack Tatum”.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
We have lost in the playoffs. But, it gives us something to look forward to next year. You, on the other hand, have nothing to look forward to but another 11 loss season. Plus, we have hotter women.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Raider fan….
I think Mark Sanchez will end up being a bust but Jamarcus Russell is the next Jon Elway.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:49 pm
Raider fan….
Chris Johnson will prove to be garbage but Darren McFadden is the next Marcus Allen.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Raider fan….
I think Percy Harvin will be out of the league in 2 years but Darius Hayward Bey is the next Jerry Rice.

Evening Nation,
Looks like most of the mock drafts are in agreement, in general.
Wouldn’t it be great if the old Man actually picked some of the players advocated here?
It’s sometimes frustrating as a fan to know that a clear solution is obvious, and to be powerless to correct it.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Dude
Come on man. I am a Raider fan and I point it out that Byrd is better than MM I understand that Chris is over hyped abt MM but not all of us think that. Byrd is a pro bowler n his ten picks is way more then MM will ever get in his career as we know he struggles in coverage

Well…plus..you have that hot embrace of you and Alyssa..oh wait, you’re in SD? with the hot women? But…that pic was taken in Boston?
Actually was taken of you by your buddy..oh wait..that’s not true either..you were never there..your buddy never took that picture.
Well then..you’re just a smorgasbord of tall tales, aren’t you?
Want the bad news? Closest you’ll ever come to a trophy is the slap down the Niners gave the Chargers, way back when.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
4eve,
I know not ALL Raider fans think that way, thats why I said Raider fan not Raider fans. Just seems like there are alot of really moronic Raider fans out there. I.E. Priest or to a lesser extent RaiderO
January 28th, 2010 at 9:16 pm
Tell me about it Dude.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Ricochet thinks he Sherlock Holmes. LOL
January 28th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Dude, with all due respect, why would Raider O and Preist be considered moronic for their opinions.
I thought a “moronic rating” applied to results of standarized test scores in specific apptitudes.
I see it as a matter of perspective.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Good for you Len, good for you. Thanks for sharing.
RaiderO isnt really a moron, just a lil silly. Priest is a moron, an idiot, a buffoon, a joke, a ignoramous……
January 28th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
Shows how slow ya are, “Charged up to wonder yet again what the hell happened”
I mean, how hard is it?
You state your friend took the pic, but then you post the link showing it’s from a city of boston website.
You state you were there, hugging Alyssa..then state you’re in SD.
But hey, don’t let me diffuse you being massively impressed with what you perceive as remarkable deducing ability…I’m all that, and more.
No…really

Again, Thanks for Sharing.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Lenny,
Agree with you on most of the guys on here nut Priest is out of bounds rediculous. Many believe he either A) Works for the Raiders or B) Is a full on drunkard.
My vote….. C) All of the above
January 28th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
If Mike Iupati has the feet to play LT or RT the Raiders should look to pick him at #8.
He would be a shoe in to start at RG from the beginning without a doubt.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
Dude, Priest is way on the fringe of the consensus, no doubt.
That’s OK. Remember though that the perspective of Preist makes/enables you to think.
That in my opinion has value.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
DKnight007…
I think Chris in NY has been advocating Iupati in a trade down.
From what I’ve read, I’d love to see Him in Raider gear.
But not at #8

Vladimir Ducasse is going to be another beat of a OT in the NFL. I would rate him higher than Williams.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:46 am
Our most glaring needs are on the O-line, for sure. We’ve needed another OT since the Gallery experiment went tits-up. I mean, we’ve been starting Cornell freaking Green at RT. It can’t get much worse.
Cooper Carlisle has been disappointing, too. Maybe having a better RT will help him, but I wouldn’t be opposed to the Raiders bring in another interior offensive lineman (either a C or G), but that might be better left for free agency if we go OT in the draft.
Still, as much as we need O-line help, I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing our first round pick be Rolando McClain. Big MLB, and a playmaker. Re-sign Howard, keep Trevor Scott playing SLB, and that should help our run defense.
The draft is also deep at the DT position, but something tells me that Al is happy to franchise Seymour, give Shaughnessy (or Ellis if he’s back) the other DE spot, and let Kelly, Warren, and Dez Bryant (with occasional cameos by Seymour) fight it out on the inside under the new D-line coach.
While I have my doubts that the Raiders can develop a young QB, with a new offensive coordinator and Paul Hackett (presumably) still being the QB coach, Dan LeFevour and Tony Pike could both be intriguing options if they’re still around in the 3rd round or so.
What a lot of people aren’t talking about, however, is the glaring lack of depth at CB. With any luck the whole Stanford Routt debacle has finally come to an end. I’d like to see the Raiders bring in a young corner to play the nickel slot, maybe even spell Chris Johnson on some downs. Lito Sheppard is a free agent and might be a decent pickup, but the knock on him has always been his inconsistent tackling, and who knows if he’s physical enough to play corner in this particular defensive scheme. Still, it seems like anything would be better than Routt and Jonothan Holland being our only backup CBs.

… and by “Dez Bryant” I meant Desmond Bryant.
