ESPN: Becht to pay a visit
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, March 8th, 2010 at 7:55 am in Oakland Raiders.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting free agent tight end Anthony Becht is visiting the Raiders today.
It’s the first reported visit since free agency began Friday.
Profootballtalk.com is reporting the visit will take place “this week.”
Tight end is one of the positions where the Raiders could stand pat. Starter Zach Miller has 166 receptions in three seasons, backup Tony Stewart is a core special teams player Brandon Myers, a sixth-round draft pick, showed promise.
Becht, 32, is 6-foot-6, 270 pounds and had 10 starts for the Arizona Cardinals last season. He has 185 receptions for 1,511 yards and 21 touchdowns in a career which began in 2000 with the Jets. He also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2005 through 2007 and the St. Louis Rams in 2008. He is a former first-round draft pick, No. 27 overall and regarded as a good blocker.
Were Becht to sign, his likely competition would be Stewart, given Miller’s status as the starter and Myers’ promise as a rookie.
According to BuffaloBills.com, free agent offensive tackle Cornell Green is visiting the Bills today.

Whos he?
March 8th, 2010 at 7:57 am
A friggin tight end?…wtf?
March 8th, 2010 at 7:58 am
Ok, poppin one, lets see what time it kicks in, alwats my favorite part of the day…here we go…my beautiful cell phone tells me its 7:58
March 8th, 2010 at 8:02 am
Why?
Why didn’t we here about Pashos or a guard or something?
Tight End? Is a spot we’re OK at, unless we’re looking to replace Stewart (unlikely).
Sigh.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:02 am
becht is a blocking TE, not much of a pass catcher. I’d say if he was signed, that would leave stewart without a spot
March 8th, 2010 at 8:02 am
Probably just a camp body, but at least invite guys to camp that play positions of need.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:03 am
I believe Pashos just signed, not sure where though, maybe washington?
March 8th, 2010 at 8:04 am
“It’s the first reported visit since free agency began Friday.”
What about Antonio Bryant, Jerry?
March 8th, 2010 at 8:04 am
Correction, he signed in CLE.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:05 am
RRS ….
Been doing a bit of digging on Barnes. He gave up 7.5 sacks his last year in Jacsonville. I think I recall at least 4 of those going to Mario Williams and Freeney.

Robbins going to STL, thought we may have had an “in” with him given we brought in Wauffle.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:07 am
Mawae and Williams,..then its the afc west title…word.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:09 am
You think Cable rolls with Barnes, Gallery, Satelle, Walker/Morris/?, and newbie?
Cornell Green is on the market, correct?
Wouldn’t be surprised if our first two signings were for Barnes and Green.
Patchwork line remains generally the same, Al drafts Campbell, Best, McKnight, Jacoby and a couple pass rushers?
Or is this The Year? Where Cable gets some input, we draft 3 O Linemen, a DT, a MLB, FB, PR/KR and a SSLB?
March 8th, 2010 at 8:10 am
Fargas is gone? What will we do without his 1.7 TDs/year?
March 8th, 2010 at 8:11 am
C. Green visiting the Bills.
Talk about addition by subtraction!
March 8th, 2010 at 8:11 am
Fargas is gone? What will we do without his 1.7 TDs/year?
Still hard to believe.
If Marcus Allen was on this team (in his prime) Al would still start Fargas over him.
Maybe this is The Year….

Sure alot of “people” baggin on Fargas,..the man was by far the hardest working dude, the dude that gave a damn the most,…was only player I can think of that wasnt there just for the paycheck,…and he gets shipped out along with a phony didnt pass a physical line,…(my sources tell me there wasnt even a physical)…you “people” better hope the old goat overpays to get LT here, because listen to me, and my pill hasnt kicked in yet,…heres the real truth,..both Bush, and DMAC, both suck…ok?…they both suck. Word.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:19 am
I’m looking at who Barnes went up against his last year in Jacksonville and he blanked Freeny and Williams in their first 2 outings, and only gave up 1 sack to Harrison.
He’s already beat out Green based on that. I know Mario better bring the lunch pail next season. Especially if Okung or Davis fall to us too.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:20 am
Sign a TE?
Maybe we should bring in another long-snapper, kicker and punter too?
Really Al?
March 8th, 2010 at 8:21 am
Hilarious:
“WIVB.com is also reporting that the Bills will meet with veteran Raiders tackle Cornell Green on Monday. Green, who will turn 34 this August, has spent much of the last three seasons as Oakland’s starting right tackle, logging 38 starts. The 6′6″, 315-pound Green is experienced, and would give the Bills a starting option on the right side, alleviating one of their biggest needs.”

That is what 49er fans thought of us signing K. Harris; hilarious.

8. Oakland Raiders
Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Raiders owner Al Davis loves big linemen and has a special place for East Coast guys. Anthony Davis impressed at the combine and needs a push to reach his full potential. Tom Cable is an offensive line coach by trade and can get the most out of this guy.
Kirwin thinks Davis falls to us … What are we going to do with Marion Henderson with Barnes and a rookie starting at OT?
March 8th, 2010 at 8:26 am
Reporter: Al, what type of players do you look for on day five of free agency?
Al: Camp fodder.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:27 am
I wonder if Rosenhaus is talking his client right out of Oakland?
March 8th, 2010 at 8:29 am
Fargas didn’t pass his physical? Was he seen by the same team docs that gave the green light to sign Ben Troupe, Javon Walker and to make Tommy Kelly the highest paid DT in the NFL on a knee that wasn’t 100%?
LMOA…did Fargas lose a leg or something?
March 8th, 2010 at 8:31 am
Once Fargas starts telling it like it is about the Raiders, I wonder what all the Al nut suckers will say? Most of the Al nut suckers were also Fargas butt lickers….should be interesting.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:33 am
LOL Dakota!
I can’t see that happening. Justin Fargas is in line to be the next Willie Brown once he retires. He’ll be coaching the RBs for the next 25 years.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:33 am
Dakota…camp fodder?,..thats what most other nfl teams would say about our entire roster. Hey now.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:35 am
I think we only need one new guy. And if Dez Bryant were to put on 10 lbs, I’d say we might actually be set already.

Jhill: seriously?

March 8th, 2010 at 8:35 am
The Awards Dinner with Fargus should be interesting.

Broncos hosted Hadnot over weekend — 2:08 p.m.
The Denver Broncos had free-agent G Rex Hadnot (Cleveland Browns) in for a visit over the weekend, Scout.com has confirmed through a league source.
Denver has very little depth at either guard position, so their interest in Hadnot shouldn’t be surprising.
The veteran interior offensive lineman started 21 games for the Browns over the past two seasons.
Hadnot was originally selected in the sixth round of the 2004 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins.
– Adam Caplan
Al, this is a guy we need! Sign Rex!!!!!
March 8th, 2010 at 8:39 am
Rex Hadnot
76 career starts 9.5 sacks allowed
Cooper Carlisle, in only three years in Oakland:
47 starts, 10.5 sacks allowed
March 8th, 2010 at 8:44 am
LOL RRS …
Seriously though, Bryant is 6′5 295 and looked pretty damn good. Another 10 lbs, and how is he not at least Lamar Houston?
March 8th, 2010 at 8:44 am
Been doing a bit of digging on Barnes. He gave up 7.5 sacks his last year in Jacsonville.
***
you left out his 5 holding calls and 3 false starts, but I don’t care about his years in Jax anyways.
Here’s what I do know. He didn’t beat out Henderson or Green last year. They even tried him at guard and he flopped there too. Thats when Langston Walker got his chance to play guard. After Morris, Pears & Barnes choked…
I’m not a Barnes fan. Just like I’m not a Satele fan or Russell fan. These guys won’t have my vote until they produce on the football field wearing silver & black. PERIOD
what the Raiders should & will do often times never lines up.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:45 am
The negotiations between the Broncos and free agent G/C Rex Hadnot have reached an impasse, according to the Denver Post.
Hadnot visited Denver on Friday and it looked like he’d be a nice fit for the Broncos’ new power scheme. Hadnot likely wants to see if he can garner more interest/guaranteed money elsewhere. Mar. 8 – 8:59 am et

Al, get back at the Broncos and sign Hadnot!
March 8th, 2010 at 8:47 am

March 8th, 2010 at 8:47 am
TE?! Really?!
Fire the Fat Monkey!!
March 8th, 2010 at 8:50 am
Jhill: I’ll give you this …
Desmond Bryant looked as good against the run as Gerard Warren and he’s 35 lbs lighter. Bryant (like Kelly, Warren, Seymour on occasion) is a UT.
I wish you would quit trying to make players into something that they are not. Barnes has never played RT well. Played LT average at best. Walker never played RG in his life and is a free agent. Bryant was an undrafted rookie that showed a little promise in a few games and now he’s gonna add weight and become our NT of the future? please man. PLEASE. you’re killin’ me with this stuff
March 8th, 2010 at 8:51 am
We tender Eugene, Routt, Morris, Brown, Then we bring a FA TE for a visit!!!!!?????
Great Start!!
March 8th, 2010 at 8:52 am
regarding Jerry Mac’s article:
Becht? i’ll pass
maybe if we hadn’t drafted Brandon Myers last year.
“Cornell Green is visiting the Bills today.”
best news i’ve read all day !!!
March 8th, 2010 at 8:52 am
I like Dez Bryant as a backup pass rusher, and I also think he can play Base End. Not an asset against the run.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:53 am
Troy Smith pining away to be a Brown,..sheesh…some here are saddened about that I reckon,..not me.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:53 am
I’ll take the average LT play of Barnes at LT over what we’ve been getting all day long.
Walker never played LG either, but looked pretty good doing it last year.
Scott never played DE or LB before, and so on.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:54 am
Raider O: you forgot Lawton & Barnes …
I’m glad Frye is back, but paying him over a million?
yikes!
March 8th, 2010 at 8:55 am
Barnes is a failed LT. At LT he gives up sacks at a Kwame Harris pace. If he can play RT against the lesser pass rushers, then fine, go for it…but we better not count on that happening.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:55 am
I believe Big Ben is a serial rapist. Hey now. Not kidding by the way. Ted Bundy was also a supposed upstanding member of society too. Word.

maybe Becht can add 10 lbs and play RT, right Jhill ???
March 8th, 2010 at 8:58 am
Thx RR!
Sign Frantz Joseph!
March 8th, 2010 at 8:58 am
Jhill has a point.
Al loves tinkering with positions.
I’m of the mind we need a true NT, plays 50-66% of the snaps, eats up double teams and allows a true MLB to clean up.
But Al could certainly tell Bryant to put on 15 lbs. and come back and play out of position.
Al has made more outrageous changes.
Shoot, Trevor scott is a former TE.
WRs playing TE. DTs playing DE and vice versa. FSs playing CB. OT playing QB (JaMarcus).
March 8th, 2010 at 9:00 am
Crash Test Dummies playing RB…
March 8th, 2010 at 9:00 am
That qb in SF, Hill, about to be cut…any of you “people” want him?…I dont. Hey now.

me neither. I’d take him over Russell, but he’s about even with Bruce & Charlie in my book.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:01 am
Last I heard Desmond Bryant was about 290 lbs…he’ll need to add 30-50 lbs to be a good NT…not 10-15.

it’s that kind of thinking that helped us get to where we are today. how many consecutive 11+ loss seasons?

March 8th, 2010 at 9:04 am
how does gaining 15 lbs make a decent UT = a solid NT?
I don’t get it.
fatter = better?
re-sign Sands!
LOL
March 8th, 2010 at 9:05 am
Jamarcus Russell is probably closer to NT weight than Desmond Bryant is….

Absolutely. I don’t agree with it. I say NT and MLB are our two biggest priorties ahead of, well every offensive line position except maybe LG.

Occasionally Al makes it work though.

Wrong. Did we play a 3-4 when 350 lb Sam Adams was our NT? Did we play a 3-4 when 375 lb Ted Washington was our NT? Did we play a 3-4 when 345 lb Grady Jackson was our NT.
Playing Warren and Kelly, two UT at DT is one of the main reasons we can’t stop the run…and throwing a 305 lb Bryant in at NT won’t do schyt.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:11 am
Just sign Jamal Williams, and find another MLB and the run D will be much improved.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:14 am
Throwing pass rushing DTs in at NT is like an NBA team trying to play PFs at the C position…usually doesn’t work.

March 8th, 2010 at 9:19 am

oh wait, we still have Cable as HC and Russell/Garbage at QB.
Never mind.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:27 am

Troy Smith wants to be a Brown
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 8, 2010 10:50 AM ET
The Cleveland Browns are considering a number of options at quarterback this off-season. Troy Smith hopes one of those options is him.
Smith, a restricted free agent who was tendered at the original round level by the Ravens, would love it if the Browns would sign him to an offer sheet or work out a trade with the Ravens that would put him in Cleveland.
“He would crawl from Baltimore right now to be able to play in Cleveland,” Smith’s agent Ralph Cindrich told the Canton Repository. “That’s clearly where his heart is.”
Smith was born in Cleveland and won the Heisman Trophy at Ohio State. Cindrich says Smith wants to go home, and that he thinks the Ravens and Browns might be discussing a deal.
“Cleveland has been on the up and up on this thing,” Cindrich said. “I did hear from a source there may have been discussions between the Ravens and Browns. . . . It would be the ideal situation to see if a trade could be worked out.”
March 8th, 2010 at 9:36 am
Anthony Becht?????? can anyone figure that one out?
March 8th, 2010 at 9:37 am
Becht in. Stewart out. Possibly.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:38 am
“Wrong. Did we play a 3-4 when 350 lb Sam Adams was our NT? Did we play a 3-4 when 375 lb Ted Washington was our NT? Did we play a 3-4 when 345 lb Grady Jackson was our NT.”
And what has the philosophy been since?
Grady was a minute ago, Dakota. The M.O. lately has been pass-rushing DTs and what Jhill mentioned would make sense given that line of thinking.
Unless Al is ready to dump that philosophy, there’s going to be an undersized, more athletic guy at that spot.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:38 am
Tony Stewart must have an upcoming bonus. Word.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:41 am
What do think about Tank Johnson?
***
Domata Peko is the Bengals NT. Tank Johnson is more of a UT. the Cowboys found that out too. Jay Ratliff is their NT.
the Bungles are trying hard to re-sign Tank anyways. I’ll pass unless Tommy Kelly & Gerard Warren both get axed
March 8th, 2010 at 9:43 am
MAYBE MILLER’S CONCUSSIONS WERE WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT
March 8th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Well LA to the bay, if that is true then we all might as well go home because we are wasting our time hoping for Al to do the right thing.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Derek Anderson is the kind of strong armed QB Al Davis loves.
If the Browns trade for Troy Smith and DA is released, things might get interesting …
March 8th, 2010 at 9:46 am
I sure hope not RaiderMario. Man, talk about one of the few bright spots on this team.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:46 am
“Signing Jamal Williams, Joey Porter, Rex Hadnot, and any blocking FB with a pulse could turn this team into a respectable 9-7….
oh wait, we still have Cable as HC and Russell/Garbage at QB.
Never mind.”
You don’t think they could have been respectable with Garcia or Garbage starting from day 1?
5-11 could have easily been…
6-10 if Russell didn’t come in for Frye in the 2nd half v. Baltimore.
7-9 if the offense put some points on the board in Cleveland.
8-8 if Garbage (AKA Gangstakowski)doesn’t go down in the Redskins game and the whole team quit on Russell (again)
9-7 if DHB didn’t have hands of stone in the KC game.
Obviously, not all of that is on Russell, but I feel this would have been a much different season had he not started.
I’ll give him the 1st KC game and the 2nd Denver game, cuz he did come through there, but think of all the garbage plays he made.
Bruce, behind the same (at times worse) O Line was able to do a whole lot more than Russell.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:48 am
LA to TheBay: look out buddy
as soon as Jhill reads those comments re: Russell you’re dead to him
March 8th, 2010 at 9:48 am
“Well LA to the bay, if that is true then we all might as well go home because we are wasting our time hoping for Al to do the right thing.”
Lol, what do we do in here every day?
You’re the most cynical of the cynics so I’m surprised you didn’t pack it in long ago.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:49 am
Is it too much to ask for:
A. a head coach that has a clue,
B. a run-blocking FB,
C. a true NT,
D. a RT that can pass block,
E. a RG that can run block,
F. a C that wouldn’t lose an arm wrestling match with Paris Hilton?
March 8th, 2010 at 9:51 am
“LA to TheBay: look out buddy
as soon as Jhill reads those comments re: Russell you’re dead to him”
I’ll give him a tale from the dark side and we’ll be cool again.
His argument is that compared to Russell, Grad looks good, but compared to the rest of the league (or much of it), QB in general looks bad here.
And he’s right.
But I still think Gradkowski was gutsy and I’m willing to give him a season.
We gave Russell two and look what happened.
If it has to be a comparison between the two, so be it. Any other QB on the roster has to be compared to the “Franchise QB” we aready have. And frankly, there is no comparison.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:52 am
LA to TheBay: if Al Davis wants to start 2 UT’s next to eachother on the DL we might as well keep “Money” Warren. He’s relatively cheap this year after cashing in last year.
I was hoping you guys wanted to become more of a physical (not finesse) football team.
Isn’t that why many of you are lobbying for upgrades at FB & MLB?
Either you’ve given up hope or you think a rookie MLB can be dominant behind lackluster UT’s. so which is it?
March 8th, 2010 at 9:52 am
Dakota.
You may get 4/6 of those.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:55 am
Just for the record:
All you morons that continually bagged on Justin Fargas and continually failed to see the value he brought to this team finally got what you wanted, ey?
But you’re just that – Morons.
I’m a Raider fan and I’ll root my ass off for D-Mac and Bush.
But let it be known the Raiders just lost one of their only players that I would legitimately call “Tough”.
And I could strongly argue that they lost their best running back.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:56 am
if you guys aren’t hoping for upgrades in the trenches then you’ve basically conceded that Al Davis will draft Mays, Haden or Campbell at #8 and we’re going 5-11 again next year

+++++++++
I’ll be the judge of that…a 305 lb Bryant doesn’t equal “C”, Barnes does not equal “D”, Bush in the backfield with McFadden does not equal “B” and Paris Hilton owns Samson (yeah right) Satele.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:56 am
“Either you’ve given up hope or you think a rookie MLB can be dominant behind lackluster UT’s. so which is it?”
Neither. I think that people get carried away with mock drafts and what the team needs.
I’m on record for a NT/MLB as priority 1, O Line priority 2.
A lot to ask for a rook to play MLB.
I want to be more tough.
Of course, you have to look at who runs the team. Al has been trending toward pass-rushing DTs for years. Al has not invested in a solid MLB.
If Al decides to wake up, he will agree with me and many others in that those two spots need to be addressed.
If he doesn’t, look for Bruce Campbell and Joe McKnight with more of the same at LB/DT. Probably Ricky Brown and a rookie SSLB.

All you morons that continually bagged on Justin Fargas and continually failed to see the value he brought to this team finally got what you wanted, ey?
But you’re just that – Morons.
I’m a Raider fan and I’ll root my ass off for D-Mac and Bush.
But let it be known the Raiders just lost one of their only players that I would legitimately call “Tough”.
And I could strongly argue that they lost their best running back.

Man you are right…how are we ever going to replace Fargas’ 10 touchdowns over the next 7 seasons? What other NFL RB will be able to score one TD every 82.7 carries?
That Fargas guy is irreplaceable!
March 8th, 2010 at 10:01 am
SNS: the owner & coaching staff wanted Fargas out too. not just a handful of fans
how many of us “morons” think Adimchinobe Echemandu or Louis Rankin could have amassed more than 10 rushing TD’s in 7 NFL seasons? Amos Zereoue, Troy Hambrick, JR Redmond… any of them!
the dude had a great attitude, work ethic & fearless mentality but he was allergic to the endzone and we drafted replacements that need playing time to get fully developed. how many other 30 year old injury prone RB’s are on the market? plenty
I won’t miss him. In fact, I hope he does sign with KC. We’d be screwed if they signed Thomas Jones instead!
March 8th, 2010 at 10:02 am
I caution you to get too carried away. I get excited every offseason but I know I’m 99% sure to be disappointed.
I’d love a trade up for Suh, or maybe McCoy, Cody in the 2nd, Okung, Spikes, and guys who were solid on film and immediate contibutors on O Line.
What I expect?
1. Bruce Campbell
2. Best/McKnight
3. Jacoby Ford
3a. G?
4. Pass rusher (maybe a converted WR, lol)
5. QB with biggest arm (Pike?)
5a. RT?
6. fastest player available (CB?)
6. fastest FB available

The dude is a mauler at TE and I hope the Raiders get him in Camp. Just the kind of guy you want if you want to start to hit some people in the mouth.
March 8th, 2010 at 10:10 am
LA to TheBay: keeping guys like Kelly, Warren, Bryant & Seymour without adding a real NT is putting your back 7 in a position to fail. Why do we see so many RB’s with FB’s in front of them go untouched through the D-Line? sometimes even a center or pulling guard!
Kirk Morrison isn’t superman and no rookie will even come close to his production.
a bunch of UT’s and no NT’s on the roster just screams “i’m trying to pressure the QB, but can’t stop the run to save my life”. Teams take notice of that man. Why drop back to pass if you don’t have to? Just pound the center of Oakland’s DL until it breaks. It doesn’t take long.

March 8th, 2010 at 10:20 am
Regarding Fargas:
Spare me the 10 touchdowns crap.
Are any of you aware that in the time that Ricky Dudley was playing for us that the only TE in the entire league that scored more touchdowns than Dudley was Shannon Sharpe?
So, are you now gonna tell me Ricky Dudley was a great tight end?
Make love to your stats all you want.
Dakota: What I’m NOT gonna miss is seeing D-Mac get tackled by a defensive back’s pinkie finger. That boy better be doing squats all off-season and finally be the player he’s supposed to be.
And I’m not gonna miss watching Bush roll-off a 60 yard run and then ask to come out of the game.
For the millionth time: both those kids have more talent than Fargas, but, neither of them has played like it thusfar.
And as for Fargas’ lack of touchdowns, go back and watch every game he played in and see how many actual scoring opportunities he had. You may be surprised that it’s not that many. I can remember countless times when he would do the grunt work to get us inside the 5 yard line, only to get pulled out for another back. And more often than not, that other back would end up not scoring either.
Are you telling me that if Justin Fargas was running behind Barrett Robins & Lincoln Kennedy, that he wouldn’t have a crap load more touchdowns???
Spare me.
March 8th, 2010 at 10:22 am

I agree completely.
I hope Al wakes up.
For some silly reason, I believe the change begun last year and will continue this offseason.
Al got his hard hitting safety and his Speedy, stretch the field WR. He already got his QB and RB “of the future.”
He knows the run D is awful. He traded for Seymour at the last second because he knew we were in trouble.
This year, he’ll want whoever we line under center to be protected and will hopefully fill the gaping hole in the middle of our D.
We already know Cable doesn’t want Morrison at MLB and we know Al isn’t afraid of losing Morrison (thus, the 3rd round tender).
ILB and NT will be a priority, IMO, and has been for years. So will O Line. Cable needs to redeem himself.
Better late than never.

I agree. Usually it’s a bonehead move because of speed. Al wants to convert Trevor Scott to a pass rusher cause of speed. Al plays Kelly at DT because of his pass-rushing. Al converts WRs to TEs because of speed.
He got lucky with Aso, cuz Aso happens to be a real sharp guy and hard worker.
I’m not trying to talk up Al, just giving perspective.

Now?
None of them would start on ANY NFL TEAM.
Not a single one.
March 8th, 2010 at 10:33 am
Silver-n-Smac,
Fargas has been a nothing long before we ever drafted McFadden or Bush.
The fact of the matter is that Fargas got the vast majority of goal line attempts this past season…he didn’t produce. He has had 827 career attempts and hasn’t produced.
Behind the same line in half that many attempts over the past two seasons Michael Bush and McFadden have scored 11 TDs.
Fargas would have been a nice backup RB…Cable couldn’t accept that so now Fargas is gone. personally I didn’t want Fargas off the team, I wanted Cable gone and Fargas backing up Bush and McFadden. Al took the cheap way out and kept Cable on for another year because of the lockout, and so Fargas had to go…I am not happy about Fargas leaving, but it certainly will not hurt us.
March 8th, 2010 at 10:36 am
Seymour didn’t make us better vs. the run …
he’s a base end and i’m glad he’s starting there instead of Trevor Scott or Jay Richardson though.
Scott was getting mauled when teams ran to his side during preseason. it was ugly.
Seymour/Ellis/Shaughnessy/Richardson or Gunheim
we’re good at DE imo.
Scott has been moved to WLB and Howard to SLB. Morrison still at MLB (until further notice). Ricky Brown re-signed to compete with all 3 imo.
Kelly decent. Warren decent. Bryant shows potential. Joseph awful. Warren rumored to be cut. Joseph allowed to walk in free agency. so what now? sign a real NT!
I hope somebody in the scouting dept puts together a blooper reel for Al Davis to watch of the atrocious DT play. the song in the background could be “Let’s Get Physical” by Olivia Newton John!

Fargas lines up visits
Well, so much for that “Justin Fargas’s discount return” theory of mine. What was I thinking?
In a phone interview Sunday afternoon, Fargas went out of his way to speak well of the team he spent the past seven seasons with, but it was made clear to Fargas his release Saturday was the end of his road in Oakland.
“I don’t see that happening, no,” said Fargas, who was released Saturday for failing a physical — only Fargas says he’s just fine, which meshes with Adam Schefter’s report today on ESPN.com disputing the Raiders’ stated reason for cutting Fargas before he could cash in on a $1.7 million bonus this week.
“I was told by the coach that they were moving in a different direction,” Fargas said. “They said it was strictly about money. … I know some things were put out there, I guess they said I didn’t pass a physical. I’m a little disappointed by the way it happened but I understand it’s a business.
“I definitely appreciate being able to spend seven years as a Raider. I’ve always loved the Raiders. I just want to do everything I can to help another team win a championship. I still have a lot of football in me. I’m fine (health-wise).”
So where will the rest of that football be played?
Fargas has no intentions of retiring at age 30. Several teams have already contacted him and he has a visit scheduled Tuesday with the Chiefs — which would give him a chance to remind Raiders fans twice a year how he was able to lead their team in rushing three straight years.
Another team his agent has been in contact with is … the 49ers across the bay, where his ex-runnings back coach Tom Rathman is an assistant in need of a back to complement Frank Gore.
“That could be something,” Fargas said. “We’ll see. Obviously there’s going to be a time of transition for me. I just appreciate the city of Oakland and the fans for making this a home for me and their support.”
If 49ers coach Mike Singletary indeed wants a tough guy to share the load with Gore, and doesn’t want to wait for a draft pick to develop, Fargas certainly fits that bill. Stay tuned.

Sorry DMAC, Fargas isn’t coming back.

DMAC-this is true, But I don’t think Jones ia actually going to KC, he is just raising his market value.
March 8th, 2010 at 10:44 am
It’s a great day to be a Raiders fan! Isn’t it?
RRS — The Raiders being a worse team than the Jets does not make us a “finesse” team. Finesse had nothing to do with it. Can’t figure out the point you were trying to make.
Yes, the Jets were a more physical team across the board…but a lot of that has to do with their talent, and the way those particular players play the game. Fargas was no less vioent a RB as Thomas Jones, but TJ must be considered the better back — not juyst last year, but for their careers.
If only the Raiders had enough talent to be considered a “finesse” team!
LATTB — Antonio Bryant visiting? That was a rumor thrown onto the board by someone, without citing a source, trying to shake the grapevine. Would Antonio Bryant’s talents be a great addition? No doubt…but only if he really has cleared his closet of skeletons. He’s one “reformed” trouble-maker I think who might be worth taking a long look at.
And RickyLake, throwing out bad numbers to make himself look all important…he’s so clumsy in his hatred, he can’t even make a decent argument to state his case (whatever case that might be…since his hatred of anybody else’s point-of-view is the only thing that really matters to him). He keeps chasing that smelly tail, though, like a good little whelp.
Great Raiders teammate Fargas gone? LaGarrette Blount anyone?
March 8th, 2010 at 10:44 am
Ugh…maybe the old man thinks that JaVomitron only throws well Zach Miller, so he should just load up the roster with Tight Ends. Which means, the experiment continues.
March 8th, 2010 at 10:45 am
Dakota, give me a break man – our entire offensive team sucked.
Our offensive line sucked. We barely even HAD any goal-line opportunities. And most of Bush’s & D-Mac’s touchdowns have NOT come in the form of goal-line TD’s.
And if you’re gonna tell me that a little pitch-out to D-Mac at the goal line is gonna be our “bread & butter” play when we need to score down there on a consistent basis, that’s crap.
If you tell me Bush if more equipped to score down there, I’ll give you that. If you’re telling me it’s D-Mac, I say to you again – spare me.
Fargas was a perfect back to have at the goal line. He attacked the line of scrimmage hard and fast. And he could dive when necessary. Unfortunately for him, his entire career was spent running behind a horrible offensive line.
The man ran for over a thousand yards in barely over a half-season of playing time just a few years ago. And even that was behind a crappy O-Line.
March 8th, 2010 at 10:46 am

The 10 td whine about Fargas IS pretty damn weak.
Point was made, which is true, that for some “odd” reason, Fargas is pulled inside the red zone, especially inside the 10.
is it because they’re hoping to prop up other players? Hoping to get recent picks “stats”? hard to imagine it’s no confidence in Fargas.
Sure wasn’t because McF or Bush was doing anything.
March 8th, 2010 at 10:49 am

March 8th, 2010 at 10:51 am
The whine about Fargas being pulled when in the Red Zone, for his lack of TD’s is B.S.
He get’s more chances than anybody. Runs up the Center’s ass and flops there.
March 8th, 2010 at 10:51 am
Silvernsmac,
Lol, I agree that our o-line is horrible, so is our HC, so is our QB…but under those same circumstances the past two seasons Bush and McFadden have surpassed Fargas’ seven year career TD mark in only half the carries.
I am not saying Fargas was the main problem, and if you put him on the 1993 Dallas Cowboys I am sure he would have a great season…..but so would McFadden and Bush…they would have a way better season than Fargas because they are more talented.
Time will tell.
March 8th, 2010 at 10:53 am
HD37: physical football teams focus on the lines first. they run the ball & stop the run
they blitz and attack all game long. force turnovers
they build from the inside out
does that sound like the Raiders to you?
if you don’t think the Jets were a more physical team than the Raiders last year I don’t know what to say. I’m shocked. compare the lines of both teams and get back to me. didn’t get my point? try reading what I’ve been posting all morning instead of just the 1 post. then it’ll make more sense to you

We should have traded Fargas after his 1000 yard season since Al Davis already had McFadden in his sights.
then maybe McBush would be developed by now!
Darren would be like Darnell Jefferson in ‘The Program’ and we’d make him carry the football everywhere he goes with other players on the team trying to strip it from him.
Mike Bush would be on Weight Watchers commercials with Marino, Taylor and Golic. “Now that I’ve started eating fruits & vegetables instead of burgers & pizza I can breathe better! and the running on the treadmill makes me look a lot less like LenDale White!”

You need to follow the game a little more, dumbass, instead of trying to figure out if that garbage you buy is costume jewelry or not.
McFalldown goes down without being touched..when he is touched, he gets injured. He has the smallest legs of any RB IN THE LEAGUE. He couldn’t break a tackle in college..led all RB’s in college in fumbles, and his woes continue in the NFL.

JaMarcus Russell was born to Bobby Lloyd and Zina L. Russell-Anderson, a law firm secretary and a machine operator in a furniture factory.
Russell is a cousin of Robert Jordan, formerly of the California Golden Bears and San Francisco 49ers, and Marshawn Lynch of the Buffalo Bills.
His uncle Ray Ray Russell was a long-time DJ and radio host for the Mobile, Alabama-based station WBLX before his passing in 2009. [17]
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Russell housed around a dozen evacuees who had fled the flooding in New Orleans, including New Orleans singer Fats Domino, in his off-campus apartment.[18]

Hey Reeksofshyt,
What’s your business, besides minding my business?
==================================
I run a business.
that’s why I don’t get to sit here….alllllll dayyyyy loooong…like you.
You?
You’re a realtor. Entry level realty. After 25 years you’re STILL at entry level position. Because you have no ambition. Because you sit on your ass…alllll…daaayyy loooong… posting on different blogs..while the wife works.
You’re a kept man, and it just doesn’t get any sadder than that.
No realtor EVER finds business sitting home…ever.
Yet, there you sit, doing laundry..polishing the table..planning the menu to make sure your wife doesn’t kick you out for being useless.
Hey..I know…why don’t you show us the top of another red car, and tell us how it’s your new Corvette?
Yeah..lol…that’s works.

Kell, I see your point here.
First let me say Brett Favre and JR are two different people, really from two different generations. The loss of a loved one, especially one very close to you – who you go to for advise or a shoulder to cry on, whatever – is obviously going to effect you.
But you mean to tell me Russell sucked cause his uncle died? Even take away the play on the field. The QVC showcase he held at PHX/GS games? The pressers? The post game interviews? How visibly out of shape he is? The frohawk????
Brett Favre lost his dad and came out less than a week later and smoked us in our own barn.
Smoked us like a holiday ham. Smoked us like a J at Norco’s tailgate.
He played his heart out despite, perhaps because, of what happened.
I really wish I could see Russell doing this but I can’t.
For now…. he sucks. I don’t care who is in his ear, his enterouge (sp i know), or on his phone, whatever.
JR has run out of excuses.
March 8th, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Becht sucks and so does so called writer GARY PETERSON.
He firthers the lethargy rumor mongering with no evidence, fails to understand why Davis would’ve over ridden Norv Turners ridiculous decision to play Tui over Collins, adds nothing of relevance, doesn’t mention about $31 million reasons why Russell gets another shot and seems to suggest the Raiders may actually use the 8th overall to pick ANOTHER quarterback in the upcoming draft.
RIIIIGHT…
Lets write off Russell’s $31 MILLION and then sign another Qb and guarantee that guy ANOTHER $25 million +.
What a joke of an article. They shouldn’t let peoples wanna be kids write for their paper.

Russell not only lost Uncle Ray, who was living with him by the way, but another close Uncle as well. The tattoos on his hands that Vegas talked about were RIP tributes to those two.
If you lived with your Dad, so to speak, after you just won the lottery and he suddenly passed away, it’s safe to say that their would be a vaccum. Queue the hangers on’rs, and possee to be’rs.
I understand his “falling off” mentally, if you will, but hey, dis iz a bitniss!!!!
We can’t sit here and wait for him to shake himself. If he’s ready to go, cool, let’s roll. But if he wants to continue to wash away his sorrows with the bottle, then we’ve got to move on. Even his momma said he’s drinking too much.
DAMN!

the reason JR isn’t progressing is because he’s not putting the work in. nobody has said anything about how the loss of a family member has affected his play. not even Russell himself. This is nothing more than a made up excuse to give the kid another crack at the starting job. I’m fine with that, but he’ll have to earn it.

Oakland finally managed to purge attitudes like this guy and Maddenites like yourself think this would be a good idea.
Of course their will likely be clauses anywhere Marshall lands protecting who ever signs him, but still…
Sign frikkin T.O. if you’re going that route…
March 8th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
let’s put money & draft status to the side…
if William Joseph lost a family member or two last year, how many of you would be willing to say his performance slipped for that reason alone and would re-sign him?
nobody. Remember Sands lost somebody too. Now he’s outta the league. Is it because he never recovered from that? People always brag about JR’s mental toughness and whatever. If he is that mentally strong then you can throw out the theory that he’s still being affected by the loss of a few uncles.
you’d think that would motivate him to work harder and make them proud, no? I lost my mom last year and I don’t wallow around in self-pity. You learn to deal with it and move on. It’s a part of life. When you go to work you leave your personal baggage at the door.

Re: Raiders
Hey Mr. Davis, first, I just want to again apologize for my poor performance in SB XXXVII. I know you will never forgive me, nor will you ever share in the blame for not allowing us to change our sets and audibles in the week prior to the game, and for trading the best head coach in the modern history of the Oakland Raiders, but I can accept that.
My main concern is the current state of the Oakland Raiders. I have prepared for you a “To Do List” for the offseason. Do with it what you may, just thought I would try and help…here you go:
1. Hire a real NFL coach
2. Draft an offensive tackle, NT and LBers in the draft
3. Sign a good blocking FB or draft one
4. Replace your current RG and C
5. Beg, borrow or steal a starting QB
6. Fire Herrera
Good luck Mr. Davis!

what is Cable’s excuse?
Did his wife beat herself before he got home?
March 8th, 2010 at 2:05 pm
How far have we fallen? Many of us now find it acceptable to say things like this:
“Maybe he can’t coach, but at least Cable can get along with Al Davis!”
“Fargas can’t score and has never lead a team to a victory, but at least he is tough!”
“Gradkowski is a career loser, but at least he isn’t Russell!”
Are we really so bad off that we can accept guys like Cable, Fargas and Garbagekowski?
March 8th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
Seymour franchised.
Green unsigned as of yet.
Routt tendered at the highest level.
Morrison tendered at the third round level.
Frye and Gradkowski tendered, expected to be back.
Warren and Fargas rumored to be cut. One down, one to go.
Is it possible this is because:
The Raiders don’t want Green back
They aren’t trading Nnamdi and think Johnson sucked
They want a new MLB
They want a QB competition (or just anyone but JR)
They want their young RBs to show promise and
They know Warren is overpaid and needs to be upgraded?
Maybe this is The Year? Is March 8th too early to be drinking the Kool Aid?
New MLB
New NT
New RT
No Fargas
No Russell
No Warren?
More Bush
More DMC
More Zach
I can think of worse offseasons just in the last few years.

Hey dudes, I need to ask you all a favor -
My new little poodle, rico-pet, had a very difficult weekend of getting toasted, roasted and completely humiliated on the blog.
He was schooled & lectured diligently in all manners of football, life and family which sent the poor pup spiriling into a pretty embarrassing display of backtracking, shame and fear.
I know you all look forward to mauling the poor, frightened little guy at the start of the week, but consider going easy on him – for the time being, only – based on his VERY FRAGILE state of mind.
Honestly, my poor little poodle is now a broken, defeated puppy. Awwwwww.
And in even sweeter news, I partied like a maniac lat night at a few Oscar parties and even got my mack on with a few A list ladies who’s must remain nameless due to signed confidentiality agreements.
All I can tell you is their last names begin with Aniston and Berry.
Almost as sweet as a matinee with the old lady, huh Krappy?

McFumble LED ALL COLLEGE RB’S WITH THE MOST FUMBLES. The fact he still fumbled had nothing to do with the Oline, dumbass.
McFalldown’s knock that he NEVER broke tackles IN COLLEGE..that once he was touched, HE WENT DOWN. He continued that with the Raiders, dumbass.
Running that idiot whine about how it’s NOT THE RB’S FAULT, THAT IT’S THE OLINE’S FAULT THAT McBust failed makes you an even bigger idiot than I thought.
BTW..”throwing a little tantrum” boy..Behind the same o line as McFalldown, Bush averaged 4.8 yds per carry…even Fargas avg 3.8..down at 185th IN THE LEAGUE?
Sorryass McFumble..but of course, according to you, it’s the Oline’s fault..not his.
Oh..and dumbass? McFumble? 1 td…4 FUMBLES for the year. You can reverse those numbers to get an idea how the other RB’s on the team did.
Bad numbers..but no way as bad as sorryass McBust.
Now get to hiding..like you’ve perfected so well.

The 10 td whine about Fargas IS pretty damn weak.
Point was made, which is true, that for some “odd” reason, Fargas is pulled inside the red zone, especially inside the 10.
is it because they’re hoping to prop up other players? Hoping to get recent picks “stats”? hard to imagine it’s no confidence in Fargas.
Sure wasn’t because McF or Bush was doing anything.
************************************
First off, we’re agreeing on something? Let me perform CPR on myself, as I just about choked on my dried banana chips.
But might as well run with it! LOL
My point is that NONE of our backs have been able to consistently pound the ball into the end zone from inside the 5 yard line since 2002 (a.k.a. Wheatley & the boys).
Koolkell:
Yeah, did you ever stop and consider why Fargas would run into the center’s ass and “flop”?
Maybe it’s because the center and the rest of the boys to his left & right seldom provide any kind of push up the middle, or to the ends.
Dakota:
Of course D-Mac & Bush are more talented. I’ve never denied that.
But from what the 3 have shown me thus far in their careers, if I’m starting a team today, I still take Fargas.
But I already know I’m losing this battle around here.

Only coincidence is you and JR both suck at your job.
***
LOL!
and ouch!
the reason JR isn’t progressing is because he’s not putting the work in. nobody has said anything about how the loss of a family member has affected his play. not even Russell himself. This is nothing more than a made up excuse to give the kid another crack at the starting job. I’m fine with that, but he’ll have to earn it.
======================================
Lot’s of players lose loved ones.
Everyone loses loved ones, at some point or another.
Some players/whoever can show up at work and block it out, and perform…others need more time..whether it’s a couple of days, or a couple of weeks.
BUT NO ONE NEEDS MONTHS, much less a whole year.
As you said…it’s just excuses.
Not JR’s fault he’s fat..it’s the 1200 calories in each of those Double Whoppers he ate.
Not his fault the WR’s didn’t get to the ball…they should have known where he was throwing it, and gone to that exact spot.
Not his fault he’s late, all the traffic lights should have changed green, just for him.
Not his fault he can’t grasp the playbook, it’s the coaches fault for making the plays so confusing.
the same sorry fools that make excuses for JR will also make excuses on how it was the teams fault JR got released, not JR’s..that he ‘wasn’t handled properly”..
Excuses=Loser

Thats my point old dude, you were there when they won the division every year, great,..we won the division 3 years in a row just 7 years ago,…we are goin through tough times,..we will win again, but for a fan to dwell on losing, its pointless, no team can win every year,…I agree these last 7 years have been rough, but Iv been to every game, we have lost most of them, but some nice wins mixed in…I think its weak of a fan to only talk about the losing,..you are not only a jealous old man, but you are a weak fan.

A pal of mine is still a ticked off season ticket holder and they sent him his bill recently and he is even more pissed! He has been screaming for the signing and drafting of D-Line, O-Line and LB’s for the last 5 years and I told him you better start to vent your frustrations at those tool season ticket reps.
Ask them when REAL change is gonna happen and when REAL GM and a REAL head coach and a REAL QB are going to be brought onboard?
Ask them what the hell is old man Al’s stinking problem and what is his major malfunction?

5 out of 6 buddies that are/were Raider season ticket holders have dumped their tickets…two of them after Al chased off Chucky…two others after the 270million spending spree that got nothing..5th one refusing to sign back up this year.

Oh geez. You see what I mean, dudes?
Man, this is really embarrassing!
The poor little poodle, my rico-pet, just melted down again in terrific fashion for everyone to see.
I TOTALLY apologize. Trust me, I was VERY clear with the little fella about what I demand out of his behavior. And he knew he had no excuse but to do what he was told and he knew to follow my every instruction.
Then, he is always to lick my boot and thank me with gentle tail waving!
But you know how beaten up puppies sometimes get – they revert to begging and pleading.
Again, so sorry for my dog’s terrible behavior!
Oh and I almost forgot – I even tried to help the poor canine with his family troubles. See, his children (puppies) need guidance from a true Alpha Dog, which my poodle obviously can’t even dream of providing.
So I offered to step in and give them the instruction and discipline they’re dying for, in order to some day serve me as well.
Of course, my scared little poodle is STILL far too frightened to respond to my generosity!
So go easy on the poor, distressed little guy, my fellow blog brohams?

“Heck, you could argue that Shell is a better HC than Cable but for his bed and breakfast companion…Art’s coaching resume sure is better than Cable’s. And Lamont Jordan’s numbers put Fargas to shame…in thirty-five games Jordan ran for 2008 yards and 14 TDs…it took Fargas 92 games and 827 carries to score 10 Tds and get 3700 yards”
Shell WAS a better coach.
Fargas was better for us. As a full time starter, he got 1000 yards in half the game it took LaMont.
How bout Ws there Dakota? Shell part 2: 2.
Cable has been awful given who his starting QB is, but he at least won two in a row last year.
These are very small victories that amount to nothing, other than maybe progress.
Russell (and ultimately Davis) destroyed any chance of progress from 08 to 09.
I will latch on to any kind of progress.
Like I said, the rim is better than the bowl.

Actually, we never won 2 in a row last year (it was the year before).
The fact we’re even talking about 2 wins in a row is an indictment of where our team is at the moment.
March 8th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
I thought Ellis provided a lot of leadership, force on the point, and 7 sacks last year. A lot more value than Routt, Imo.

“You guys keep pining for Fargas and pumping up losers like Cable and Garbagekowski, while those of us with a brain will sit back and ask for real improvement.”
Fargas is a tough guy and a leader.
I would rather have Chris Johnson.
Cable appears to have the locker room on his side.
I would rather have Jon Gruden.
Gradkowski really showed up that POS Russell LAST year.
Gradkowski is a pretty young for a Journeyman and I’d rather have Peyton Manning.
I think the above is better than
Shell part 2
Aaron Brooks
LaMont Jordan

March 8th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
Silver-n-Smac,
Please post one comment where I have said McFadden has been stellar. None of our RBs have been stellar for many reasons.
None of our RBs can be stellar without a decent o-line, HC and QB. When we drafted McFadden we had a good o-line, then Tom Cable got involved and Kwame Harrised us…we had a decent HC that was at least keeping us in games, then Kiffin and Al blew it apart and now we have a HC that would not have been allowed to coach lowere level college two years ago. Russell was supposed to be a decent QB, instead he turned out to be a joke and our RBs have to face unreal odds every game.
Fargas had a decent stretch back in 07 before Al drug us further into the abyss, but we know waht he gives us…three and outs and no TDs. McFadden and Bush at least give us a chance to score…Fargas would have been a great RB to keep as a backup and it was a mistake to keep Cable and let Fargas go…but Al knew Cable would keep shooting himself in the foot with Fargas, so now we lose Fargas.
It just isn’t that big of a loss.
Sorry to break the news. If McFadden has another bad year, then I will gladly give him the Fargas treatment too…but you can’t give up on that young of a player…on the other hand, a seven year vet that has produced next to nothing….yeah, time to move on.

Why sign a bunch of free agents when you think a new salary cap structure will be likely in 2012?

Been doing a bit of digging on Barnes. He gave up 7.5 sacks his last year in Jacsonville.
***
you left out his 5 holding calls and 3 false starts, but I don’t care about his years in Jax anyways.
Here’s what I do know. He didn’t beat out Henderson or Green last year. They even tried him at guard and he flopped there too. Thats when Langston Walker got his chance to play guard. After Morris, Pears & Barnes choked…
I’m not a Barnes fan. Just like I’m not a Satele fan or Russell fan. These guys won’t have my vote until they produce on the football field wearing silver & black. PERIOD
what the Raiders should & will do often times never lines up.
===========================
What you didn’t mention RR is that was the year Jacksonville lost THREE starting linemen by opening day.
Their season was f’ed by the end of the first game.
March 8th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
Yeah, those things sometimes happen Vegas, but I guess if you want to cross your fingers and hope this undrafted C will turn into the next Jeff Saturday or that undrafted DT will turn into John Randle, or that undrafted DB will be the next Willie Brown, or that undrafted TE is the next Gates then you will not be emplyed as an NFL GM for very long….unless you own the team and you are so stubborn that you are willing to drag the team down with you to hell…right Al Davis?

So the NFL can put players into their testing program for any off the court transgression that fits the profile.
So is that why this is being called a “lethargy addiction” than what it more than likely really is? So he can avoid being put into the more frequent testing program?
Otherwise, how can one have an addiction to “lethargy”? Does he have a thyroid issue? Did 2009 put him in a state of depression?

I would agree. A stalemate occured and Al had to clear some space.
On a positive note, Ellis was breaking down and wouldn’t produce much and Walker, well that’s finally over and done with.
We really should have played him but Al wanted the rooks to get work under their belt.
And give Javon the Marcus Allen treatment for real.

Bottom line:
On the offensive side of the ball, I’m really hoping that we do nothing but add/subtract to and from our o-line.
I don’t believe we need a single skill position player anywhere on the offense (unless we’re talking new QB).
I want nothing but linemen, lineman, linemen.
Then I’ll really believe we’re ready to compete again.

——————————————————yes and his mane is AL DAVIS
========================
Morrison has been the MLB on some of the most consistently awful run defense for like 6 yrs running (pun intended)
He sucks.
No need to go into his tackling on an island, bad audibles, over running plays ect ect ect ect ect ect.
Routt, as much as I dislike his play or lack there of is a big, fast DB in a Leauge that saw 12 teams throw for 4,000 yds + last year and this years draft for CBs looks like ****.
Joe Hayden, everyones top CB pick B4 the combine looked shockingly bad.
His tape shows he’s really good, but man, how can you show up to the combine that unprepped?!
Red flag!

Is this Al’s new idea for what a fullback should look like? Yes, it could work. TE’s know how to block & catch. They are supposed to know how to run a little better than an O-lineman so this could work.

—————
It’s not a question of which guy is the more valuable player. It’s a question of: which player fits which team’s needs…balanced against the going-rate $$ for each of those positions.
Yes, Stanford Routt is definitely worth a #3, and probably more like a #2…he could start on half the teams in the NFL this year. His impact in his first year on a new team would be more than ALMOST anything a rookie DB could provide. Routt’s peak may still be around the corner.
Yes, Morrison makes a lot of tackles, and he’s a great teammate. But, just like Fargas, he doesn’t get the job done AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Morrison is valuable…to the Raiders, or to potential teams…but, this Raiders team needs THE MAN in the middle. Kirk is not THE MAN (although I think he’s at least worth his tender).
Their value$ only matter to the teams that want to pay them — see what happened to Cornell Green, and then try and make sense of who deserves how much. If Green’s worth $3 Mill per, how much are either Morrison or Routt worth on the market? A lot more than that, for sure.

I have much respect for Al, but, I guess I’m just not seeing the value in Routt.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe he’s just not fit to play the man-to-man style we play.
I will say this: The best game I ever remember Routt having was this past season against the Eagles.
Not coincidentally, we played almost exclusively zone defense in that game.
Maybe it’s not him – maybe it’s the scheme.

Other than Kiffen’s FA fiasco, we seem to be building thru the draft.

Silver-n-Smac,
Sorry for the delay, I had to entertain a customer. Anyway, I don’t see a problem with Becht’s size at RG as long as he can execute and block someone reasonably often and have less than three False Starts per game. Fulfilling those obligations alone would be a vast improvement over Cornell Yellow (the amount of flags thrown his way has shifted his last name over a few notches on the color spectrum).
If nothing else, he could be used as the anti-Gary Russell (OVERsized Fullback).
