There, I said it _ signing T.O. a good idea
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, March 11th, 2010 at 7:11 pm in Oakland Raiders.
T.O. a Raider?
Assuming he came at a reasonable price, there’s only one pertinent question: How fast can he get here?
Even with the admittedly loose standards of Internet journalism, the Terrell Owens-could-be-a-Raider story is a flimsy one.
But Al Davis just loves picking up Hall of Famers en route to retirement. He also doesn’t believe in chemistry, and even invoked Owens’ initials once when making his point.
Davis said he’d seen his share of difficult players, citing the fiercely independent Art Powell and calling him “The T.O. of his time.”
Here’s why bringing in Owens, even at an advanced age (36) and with diminishing skills is a good idea:
– The Raiders need a veteran receiver to mix in with the kiddie corps of Chaz Schilens, Louis Murphy and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Unlike Javon Walker, whose conditioning was in question the moment he arrived, Owens will arrive in shape. It would do Schilens, Murphy and Heyward-Bey good to see Owens in the locker room with his shirt off, up close and personal. They wouldn’t think of taking a play off or cutting a weight room session short.
– It makes no sense to draft another wide receiver with a high draft pick, and Owens is the best receiver left in free agency. Derrick Mason (Ravens), Kevin Curtis (Texans) and Chris Chambers (Chiefs) all stayed where they were. Antonio Bryant would cost way too much money and he went to the Bengals. That leaves Laveranues Coles.
Owens caught 55 passes for 829 yards and five touchdowns last season. Those numbers, with a passing game in Buffalo that was almost as bad as the one in Oakland, would have led the Raiders in every category. Raiders wideouts caught 99 passes for 1,360 yards and seven touchdowns last season combined. Owens has had better years by himself.
– Owens made it through a difficult season in Buffalo without an eruption. The Raiders got great results at the tail end of Jerry Rice’s career, and it’s worth noting that the prickly Rice was actually pleasant and easy to deal in Oakland.
I remember how it was when Owens was with the 49ers, walking through the locker room a man apart from the team, without a friend in sight. Gradually, year-by-year, Owens has picked up some supporters in the locker room who said nice things about him after he left.
– If Owens signed with the Raiders and decided he didn’t like what he saw in terms of commitment from JaMarcus Russell and decided to pop off about it, that would be a good thing, not a bad thing. There were too many diplomats on the Raiders last year, speaking in code and talking up Bruce Gradkowski as a way of emphasizing what was wrong with Russell.
– Assuming the money is right, and it doesn’t look like a lot of teams are interested in Owens at this point, you can always cut him and move on if his skills are too far gone. Just like Donovin Darius and Lorenzo Neal. The Raiders dropped at least $14 million in two years on Walker. No way Owens could approach that as a bad investment.

The Raiders confirmed the release of defensive tackle Gerard Warren by posting it as a transaction on their Web site.

As I was saying,…for some reason, (I guess we all know why dont we),…old kell about every week or so, feels he needs to remind us what kind of car he drives,..that he once drove a vip around in a parade…that hes traveled the world,…that hes a real estate tycoon,…I guess a shrink would say someones extremely insecure and does this about every week to convince himself hes a success,…I personally think old kell drinks alot on this blog and thats when it comes out. Hey now.

Why? is that supposed to mean something? It doesn’t.
Big deal..I went to Europe..whoopee…who cares?
It’s not a big deal..many people have..and to them it’s not a big deal.
Why is it to you? Why do you feel so special that you wife was able to afford to BRING YOU somewhere?
You’re still a loser..and your comments wondering where I’ve been, proves it.

Hey, Kelli, it’s you I’m worried about.
Do you work? NO.
Ok..let’s make it simple, Kelli..
THE OTHER AGENTS HAVE LISTED ‘properties I’ve sold’..some listing quite a few sold recently.
You? You’ve sold nothing.
You? You have NO LISTINGS.
You? You are here EVERY SINGLE DAY.
How can you state you’re not a loser?
What? Going to avoid the question?
No problem..I’ll keep inquiring…how can anyone who’s here EVERY SINGLE DAY, THROUGH OUT THE DAY, say you’re a successful realtor?
You’re not.
Your wife works.
YOU DON’T.

That’s an excellent post by Jerry. Last year when Jone’s cut him, and the natural assumption on ESPN was that TO was going to Oakland, I was like Hell No! But now, really what could it hurt. I see almost no down side to it. I thought he gave a good accounting of himself last year in Buffalo, even when the media were trying to goad him into saying negative things, criticizing his QB, he wouldn’t bite. Like Jerry pointed out, he actually put up decent numbers. He’d be a big physical target to go over the middle. I say why not? Besides didn’t it always seem inevitable that TO was going to be a Raider?

BOB!
I’ve snorted two Norco and half a perc 30 in the last hour… and I’m tweakin out like mad… but in a good way. My gorgeous (yet MARRIED) Raider fan friend is asleep in the next room, worn out from the long trip from North Carolina and being up all night waiting for me to get there in the first place. I’m now getting high and logged in here in an attempt to keep myself occupied. Her husband is going to be out of the country for 5 more months… and she’s the one who asked me to come get her for a visit… so I’m very conflicted here. I’m reasonably sure that her statements that she can’t do any “fooling around” are just to cover her bases, but I don’t want to pursue to overtly, just in case. I’ll let her catch the night’s sleep (it’s 10:30pm here on the east coast) and then we’ll see where we stand tomorrow. I’ll just address it openly bluntly and take it from there. I mean, hell… she told me two weeks ago that she regretted that she and I didn’t hook up when I was still in Pacifica (before she got married), so that has to carry at least some weight. *sigh* I hate having a conscience and being respectful… because she’s probably wondering why I haven’t gone on in there already. Even if that’s a good idea, now I’m so high that I can’t know if it actually is or not, so I’m trying to err on the side of caution.
FYI: She was wearing a Raiders hoodie that had been converted to “low cut” when I got to her place to pick her up. I’ve already cussed her out for getting married before I could take her for myself… damn it.
March 11th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
My boys. We need help in every way possible. Bring T.O. and bring L.T. bring all if it can help us win.
March 11th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
I’ve lived in Japan for 5 years.
March 11th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
In her defense, though… I moved away from Pacifica back to here to be with my ex… and she met someone and I had already left the picture, so I can’t REALLY hold it against her. I just wish that I’d done so many things differently where it concerns her… and it’s just too crazy that 7 months after I left Cali for Va, she’s ALSO on the east coast… in the next state down, no less. I have a feeling that that means SOMETHING… and something good, at that. Sorry if I’m rambling… I’m just gettin really tweaked out at the moment and have a few billion thoughts going on. So, Gerard Warren is gone, eh?
March 11th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Kell,
I think that is exactly what Hue Jackson is going to do.Just what he did in Baltimore, Power running, and a lot of play action. He worked with a young Joe Flacco at QB. He was also widely credited in Cincinnati with developing young WR’s TJ and Chad Johnson. He was very popular here. Had a reputation as being tough, and very demanding, but still popular with the young players.
March 11th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
Buckeye
I think he could do it, if allowed.
March 11th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
And that’s a Big IF
March 11th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
cant believe I agree, but Jerry, anything to keep DHB off the field, and get him to be better in year 3, so, why the he11 not, lets give TO a try…
while we add it, what about the whiner LT?? he is not great, but he can score, we cant, so lets try him…
even Larry johnson would be a good idea, im just fed up with this team’s losing ways so, im up for anything…
heck we should have gotten shanahan back and make a do-over… LOL… well maybe not =)
March 11th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Somebody has to donate a pair of hands to DHB. Who’s up for it?
March 11th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
la melissa you are giving up on dhb too early.
March 11th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Right on Jerry,
I agree with everything you said. There’s no reason not to bring T.O. in at a reasonable price.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Gosh we need linemen like Somalis needs food.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Kell,
I’m sure Al can be a pain in the azz to work for. From what I’ve read he’s probably very demanding, and an overbearing, and intimidating presence to deal with. I’m sure not everyone has the intestinal fortitude to work for the man.
But, I’m not sure he’s as meddling in schemes and gameplanning as many on here are led to believe.
I mean hell, he hired Jon Gruden and Lane Kiffin, and let them bring their versions of the West Coast Offense to Oakland. And that is an offensive system, the man despises. Al favors the old Don Coryell/Syd Gillman offense and the deep passing game.
If you watch the official highlight film of SB XVIII, and Cliff Branch scores a TD. The Voice of God, John Facenda says: “The Raiders scored playing pressure football, not percentage football”,make no mistake, that is a direct shot across the bow of Bill Walsh and the WCO.
Yet he let Gruden bring it to Oakland.
He brought Hue Jackson in to coach, and I believe he’ll let him do it.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
2 things.
If there ever was a year to trade back, this would be it. We need lots of help and I don’t think any of the players that will be there at 8 will make that big of a difference. For example, you take Bulaga, Davis, Williams and depending on the draft board have each of them going top 6/7 to mid/late 20’s.
Other thing, I think that the Raiders will be extremely active following the draft. This is one of the deepest drafts in awhile and I think there will be plenty of good players left out of the mix. Talk about it!!
March 11th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
I wonder if Al is trying to get more picks by trading someone? Maybe McFumbles or Bush?
March 11th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
This T.O. thing even gives me some hope for JaMarcus. One thing that’s always been said about T.O. is he plays hard and practices hard and he’s obviously not shy about calling his QBs out. Could be just the guy to light a fire under #2.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Resurrection,
I hope they’re not getting ready to trade DMac or Bush. They just waived Fargas, somebody has to tote the rock. Unless they’re planning on drafting a running back early. Jeezus, I hope not. Like most everybody else on here, I’m hoping this draft is heavy on strengthening the trenches.

So, you think Pierce is done, and not worth taking a look at? You would probably know more than I. Were you the guy that was at the debacle in the Meadowlands last year, and had to see that carnage first hand?
I always kinda liked Pierce. Is it just his neck injury, or do you think he’s just lost a step?
March 11th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
It’s almost midnight here Nation. Goodnight.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:37 pm
personally I would completely support Owens coming to Oakland. dude would light a fire under alot of players simply by how well he keeps himself conditioned. our young receivers could learn a hell of alot from him.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
I’d be okay with bringing TO on board for a year.
He seems to be able to hold his tongue for one year at a time. Anything more and he turns into a nutbar.
Getting in the face of JaMarcus can’t be a bad thing either. Cable can’t seem to light a fire under him. Perhaps feeding JaMarcus daytime Nyquil would also help.
PS Sweep The Leg, congrats on being first. Live the dream man, live the dream…
March 11th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
We already had T.O. We just called him Jerry Porter. Remember him? That was the guy all you kool aid drinkers were criticizing Gruden for not playing, and then when you found out why Gruden wasn’t playing him, because his attitude is intolerable, you pretended you hated Porter all along. Remember that? I do. Anyhow, unless T.O. can either play offensive line or fight off run blocks, we can’t use him. It wouldn’t hurt if T.O. can coach, either, or perhaps even own a team. Because we need all of those things before someone like T.O. can help us.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Oh, the “we need another black guy to get into our black quarterback’s face” fetish. Because a)we have no black players now who can yell at Russell, and b) T.O. getting in McNabb’s face worked wonders, and McNabb has a reputation of being a serious quarterback and a hard worker. Raider fans are perpetually high on some drug that combines the effects of crank and mushrooms.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
TO does drop a lot of passes though. I hope he doesn’t teach that skill to DHB. (Because he’s pretty good at it already.)
March 11th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
You know who would be a good black guy to bring in and yell at Russell? Carl Weathers. There is no tomorrow!!! THERE IS NO TOMORROW!!!
March 11th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
I still want to see this team build the lines, get a good ILB and kick returner. and then get another lineman before getting happy w/ skill positions.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
Of course I’d like Carl to yell at Al Davis, too. And punch him several times.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
And yes, I know Carl played for the Raiders. Fug off!
March 11th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
I can see T.O. having incentive to succeed where Randy Moss failed, just to one up Moss.
T.O. “Ain’t nothing fishy about 10 td’s in Oaktown Randy!”
March 11th, 2010 at 8:49 pm
Didn’t Al Davis play the role of Rocky’s trainer in Rocky I ? i swear that was him.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
T.O. was a serious consideration the moment he was not going back to Buffalo. Next up, getting T.O. was the first thing to come to mind when Cinci went with Bryant.
The guy always comes to play. And he is fearless going for the ball.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
No, Northern D. But Al did play Yoda in Star Wars.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Apparently TO is also good at lighting fires. Perhaps it’s a good thing that he left Buffalo. They’ve had enough of that over the years.

From Dan Landers:
Dear Confused on the coast (SteveAlford21),
it seems as though you have a bit of a dilemma. Should you lay some pipe on your ex-flame, or take the high road, and just tuck her in, and not slip it in?
Tough decision.
Since her husband won’t be back for 5+ months, I guess he’s on a tour. If that’s the case, he might just wig out and come looking for you if he finds out when overseas.
As for your lightly covered female friend, if you want her to stay around for more than a cup of coffee and a few awkward quips in the morning, then refrain.
If you don’t care if she stays or not, then be all means, add some little blue pills to your dinner and let it fly.
Don’t forget to wear that helmet. Safety first…
March 11th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Where’s the GS fans tonight?
March 11th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
lol NorthernD…
I’m only 29, so I don’t need any blue pills yet. As a former deployed soldier myself, I have no sympathy for or fear of her husband… it’s more the context of whether I should pursue or just let her come to me on her terms. There will be no awkward quips, just sarcastic and goofy quips… as we always do anyway. She’s the kind of cool that you think is impossible in a woman until you actually see it. The problem is that I’m being far too considerate of any possibility of perceived impropriety. Tomorrow, I’ll just address it and put all the cards on the table. I’m certain that it will end well. For now, though, I’ll let her sleep. It was an extremely long and tiring day for both of us… and when I told her goodnight, I resisted every urge in my body to go forward… but she was texting her husband goodnight as she gave me the bedroom eyes. Maybe I’m being a p-u-s-s-y… but I figure it’s better to err on the side of caution. Then again… faint heart never won fair lady…

March 11th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
I disagree with the T.O., Randy Moss, Jerry Porter comparrisons that many are making. Yes, they’re all high maintenance head cases for the most part. But they bring different baggage. First of all, Porter was never in the same league as the other two talent wise. Other than that:
T.O. – Maximum effort guy who hogs the spotlight and basically always melts down and tears into his QB after a couple of seasons.
Randy Moss – Probably the most talented of the 3. Pure frontrunner. When things get a little tough he quits. Half-azzes routes and generally pouts his way through the game/season if things aren’t exactly as he’d like.
Jerry Porter – Raw physical abilities but comes off as lazy and thinks he’s better than he is. Never came close to living up to his potential and was pretty much a slacker just in it for the money.
March 11th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
Chris in NY,
So in other words, sign him up?
March 11th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
T.O to the Raiders? What makes anyone think Al Davis will do ANYTHING to make the team better?
Raiders have done NOTHING to get any good free agents (not even any bad ones)this year. Al Davis thinks the ‘09-’10 team just won the Super Bowl, that’s why he’s scrambling to sign (and over pay) for the guys that gave us 5-11 last year.
Why change anything? We’re fine, right?
T.O. is NOT coming here. Don’t get your hopes up. Al has given up.

———————
I tend to think Pierce is done. I liked him as a player for a long time and he was a big part of that Giants championship run. He was a leader on that team. But this past season it seemed like his skills (particularly in coverage) were declining and he was one of many factors in the Giants D being monumentally disappointing. Add the neck injury on top of that — which from everything I heard is quite serious — and it’s hard to see him being a difference-maker. I wouldn’t mind signing him to one of those Donovan Darius/Lorenzo Neal type deals and give him a shot to see if he can bounce back, but I would be pretty surprised if he’d give our D a major boost at this point.

An extremely astute and accurate assessment. I’m all for putting a torch under JaBustus’s ass to see which way he will go. He’s very young & immature and it’s about time someone quits coddling him and calls him out in public. As I see it that’s about all that will get his attention. Then we’ll be able to find out if he’s NFL caliber or NOT.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Bring in WR T.O, C Mawae, RG Lilja and SS Roy Williams to play him SLB, he would be good against the run and can blitz in third down situations. If we get these four players, along with the rookies we draft, we good to go.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Keep TO away from this team IMO. TO is racing with Randy Moss for stats these kids need someone who’s here to help them develope. Name one player TO assisted in his development? He’s a selfish egotistical maniac. “I love me some ME” ignorant ass outta here.
I would much prefer a Torry Holt who’ll come here and teach. Or just leave the kids too themselves, they’ll get there.
Dez Bryant obviously has gotten the coaches eye. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start at the 3tech. I see us drafting a DE maybe Griffin from USC. I’m almost sure we’re in the market for a HB. Those two Dlineman from last year Matt S and Dez Bryant were steals.
As for OT I’m settling on T Williams. Looks to be a stud.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Why is LT still rumored to have interest from OAK?
March 11th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
All Raider great teams had dominant O-lines particularily at the center position. That position is ultra important. We haven’t had a decent center since Barrett Robbins and it shows. In addition to a new OT & OG we definitely need a quality center – either drafted or from FA.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
What’s going on Priest
March 11th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
Still say williams @ 8 & Ducasse/Pouncey in the 2nd barring a trade back scenario. Sign Mawae! Rest of the draft = DL inc a MLB. Would be fine with Thurmond in a later round.
Build from that following the draft by bringing in countless UFA’s.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
I say bring Warren back at a lesser price. He has been productive at times and probably won’t see much interest on the market, although he can definitely help out as part of a rotation.
Was glad to see my boy “The Natural” light it up for all to see on TNT tonight. Finally, the Blazers get a win in the Oracle. Coincidentally, I was at the last game they won there in Nov. 2004.
Oh yeah, big NO to T.O. Schilens & Murphy are poised to break out in 2010, and if Higgins, DHB or another young WR can step it up I think we will surprise a lot of people.
Of course, that also depends on our QB play, but I think Gradkowski will be solid and keep the team together. I’m not expecting much from Russell, but if he does indeed win the starting job, this time it will be because he earned it and the rest of the team will appreciate that.
I hope.

I think Warren is just a body at this point. So I’d like to see them go with a younger DT and let him get some playing time, instead of trying to more mileage off of Warren.
I can’t see Al signing TO and letting him get playing time ahead of his pet project DHB.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
Doing alright. Wondering about the direction of the team. Also a topic not talked about is the UFA’s following the draft.
With all our holes I think the Raiders have to be productive following the draft not just during it!

March 11th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
Well I just wait and watch, this offseason has been quite different than I would’ve expected. But as I see it unfold it’s starting to make some sense. But we’ll see what happens.

No to T.O. UNLESS week 2 comes around and Chaz Schilens is injured and out.

=========================
We’ll see if Desmond Bryant put on any weight over the break.
The Harvard grad was posted at 6-5, 290 last year and showed some flashes in limited action
Heres a nice scout rep on him.
Overview
Bryant appeared to be on the threshold of a breakout season in 2007 after a fantastic spring, but he took a leave of absence from the school and missed the entire 2007 season. His absence has been clouded in mystery and I haven’t gotten anyone close to the situation to spill any beans. Let’s hope it wasn’t anything serious and that he’s back to wreak havoc on the Ivy QBs in 2008.
Desmond also performed well at the Harvard Pro Day flashing 11.5″ hands and 35.5″ arms. He also posted 4.92 and 4.93 heats in the 40-yard dash with a 31″ vertical, a 9’10″ broad jump, a 4.45 short shuttle, and 7.44 three-cone drill. He repped 225 pounds 35 times on the bench.
Strengths
Physical freak, especially for the Ivy League. Massive, and can be looked at as a coveted 3-4 DE. Very long arms with good ups. Wreaks havoc by batting the ball down at the line of scrimmage. Very strong, and can really bull rush anybody at this level. Also has some moves. Obviously very intelligent. May not need football.
Weaknesses
Has never been tested against elite competition despite the undeniable physical gifts. Should have had better production that he did against such a low level of competition. Does he have motivational issues?
Plays on the other side of the ball.
Wouldn’t it be something if Oakland went all crazy and drafted for a 3-4 D?
March 12th, 2010 at 12:42 am
Watch Warren go to SD.
March 12th, 2010 at 12:51 am
Nnamdi21,
You found an ivy league scouting report. Impressive.
I found a different one.
Bryant is a solid, all around student who excels in the maths and sciences. He is quick to solve an algebraic conundrum but falls off slightly when dealing with quantum mechanics.
Has had trouble with the languages in the past, especially 3rd diclension Latin, but has worked to improve.
He also plays football.

Dear Steve Alford
You’re selling your soul for poon tang. Her husband is gone, she probably has issues with him and she’s abusing your friendship to boost her self esteem by tempting you and trying to use you as a pawn because there is something missing in her life with her husband.
It’s not a great achievement or life changing experience to hit her up. Look at what you’re risking, most of all selling out your principles in a game that SHE’s running and you’re falling for.
Wouldn’t it be much more satisfying to say no and make her doubt her worth instead of her using you to boost herself?
Women do this all the time. They dish up something to feel better about themselves and men think they’re getting a great deal because they hook up.
You can always score….not a big victory, it’s a common commodity. Don’t pay the price for something that has no real value.
That’s a Javon Walker deal you’re considering.

Priest same thing happened last off-season until Al got draft fever
March 12th, 2010 at 2:24 am
Back on topic.
T.O. has been a cancer everywhere he’s been, but the guy is in shape and works hard, and plays hurt.
He demands that his teammates perform. This could be just what JaThargic needs….or it could send him spiraling into the abyss.
Either way JaThargic will need to shape up or get out and T.O. may be the answer.
Regardless, T.O. is a better player than ALL our WR’s.
March 12th, 2010 at 2:26 am
Yeah Moose…Al has the same M.O. as last year. No free agents, trying to retain the players that are here (for better or worse) although he seems to be cutting more this year.
Good strategy if we can draft well. Otherwise look forward to 4-5 wins again this year.

I believe TO has behaved fairly well in buffalo.. their 09 season sucked, and you didnt hear a peak from TO about it…
maybe he has matured in an age of 36!?
March 12th, 2010 at 2:30 am
The more I think about it, this team has way too many holes to fill in just one off-season.
Every time we try to move forward, more holes are created.
We need at least 3-4 impact players on OL and DL, plus a couple of good LB’s to move up and we have no QB.
Every year I hope that a number of guys step up and develop in order to fill holes, but NONE of our guys develop, with the exception of Branch, Zach Miller, Huff, and perhaps Mario Henderson (who regressed as the season went on) and minor improvements by T. Scott and Shaunessy, nobody is moving forward and making strides to improve.

It could backfire also, but T.O. would be our best WR in any case. Then DHB could be a good “decoy” because we actually have ONE guy who can actually get open and catch the friggin’ ball ha ha

Just have to comment the GRUDEN battle going on.
Jon Gruden was not a no-name at all! I knew he was a hot young offensive mind at the time of the hire by Al. Gruden was acclaimed by TV announcers all the time. Much in the same way that Jason Garrett has been talked about the last 3 years.
Al gave him a big chance, but he was not a no-name. The truth is that it was kind of a bold move by Al, but Gruden was well regarded as an offensive mind.

March 12th, 2010 at 6:19 am
The Raiders had the worst run defense in the NFL during Warren’s tenure, allowing 153.7 yards rushing per game and a league-worst 71 touchdowns on the ground. Warren had 77 solo tackles and 10 sacks in 44 games with Oakland.
The Raiders won just 14 games the past three years, extending their NFL-worst run of seven straight seasons with at least 11 losses.
Warren has never lived up to his draft billing after being selected third overall by the Cleveland Browns in 2001. He spent four disappointing years with the Browns before being dealt to Denver in 2005. He spent two years with the Broncos before they unloaded him to Oakland.
Warren has 229 solo tackles, 32 sacks, seven forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in his career. He has been to the playoffs just once in his nine seasons.

March 12th, 2010 at 6:27 am
I’ve made my peace with Kirk Morrison leaving since he’s getting attention now on the open market.
not because I think he’s a bad player, but because it’s very likely a team looking for a starter at MLB would take a chance on Capt Kirk for a 3rd rounder. A team like the NY Giants perhaps?
so here’s my proposal. If Morrison does strike a deal elsewhere and Al Davis allows him to walk in exchange for a 3rd rounder, we should grab BOTH Andra Davis & Antonio Pierce in free agency. let them compete for the starting job with Ricky Brown.
use that extra 3rd rounder on a CB/KR.
1 – NT
2 – OT
3 – C
3 – OG
3 – CB/KR
presto!

Terrell Owens was a headcase in SF & Philly, but he really cleaned up his act in Dallas & Buffalo imo.
sign him. 1 year, $5 million
DeAngelo Hall & Javon Walker kept their mouths shut in Oakland. So did Warren Sapp. they just acted like fools both before & after their stints here. I think T.O. would be a great addition to this team, especially if Cable thinks we’re a playoff contender (try not to laugh guys). Owens produces on the football field year in & year out and I think thats what matters most to Al Davis …
I can picture Owens kissing Al Davis’ rings and singing his praises to the media. Even giving props to Russell & Hue Jackson. But when the season is starting up and Russell starts throwing him passes? look out!
March 12th, 2010 at 6:41 am
maybe Terrell Owens can take Chaz Schilens & Nick Miller to his hyperbaric chamber?
March 12th, 2010 at 6:42 am
WHAT THE HELL,MAYBE OWENS CAN PLAY QB
March 12th, 2010 at 6:45 am
Living in the Buffalo area I can tell you, TO isnt worth signing. He will do nothing to improve this team.
March 12th, 2010 at 6:47 am
Yeah what ever! TO is better then everyplayer we have on offense except Schilens and maybe Miller in another year or two.
We are at the bottom the toilet, all you get to work with at the bottom of the toilet are terds!
March 12th, 2010 at 6:50 am
That is true…I have said a couple of years ago when T.O. was a FA again…it is inevitable that T.O. becomes a Raider…if only for a year, but still a Raider!
March 12th, 2010 at 6:50 am
TO already passed Brown for yardage, and his is only 88 receptions away from passing him there, which he should do in 2 yrs tops, or 1 good year. Sucks, but it was inevitable.
March 12th, 2010 at 6:53 am
TO in Oakland… think Randy Moss, but worse. Im telling you, I have the unfortunate displeasure of watching every Bills game because they are always televised here. He shortarmed so many possible catches, and takes 50% of the plays off. He doesnt have the elusivness to beat the young CBs anymore, or the speed to get the YAC that really made him the receiver he was.
March 12th, 2010 at 6:58 am

** Raiders scout Will Thomas was confirmed as an attendee of the Boston College Pro Day at Harvard, where the Raiders discovered undrafted defensive tackle Desmond Bryant.
The Raiders are said to be looking at offensive linemen and a linebacker who can step in and play immediately.
** Defensive line coach Dwaine Board has quietly been disappeared, so to speak, from the raiders.com coaches page.
His title was changed to “assistant coach” when they hired Mike Waufle to do his former job. Sources told me Board was then told to go to the NFL Combine and get a job after one season in Oakland.
Tough ending for someone credited over-the-top for getting Richard Seymour up to speed for the season opener, and someone who helped develop the young defensive linemen.
** The Raiders have had talks with veteran outside linebacker Sam Williams, but no deal has been reached with the former third-round draft pick who is now an unrestricted free agent.

March 12th, 2010 at 8:53 am
Fargas didn’t suck until he got in the redzone. he was allergic to it. maybe he just didn’t like the number 6?
he’d be a fine 3rd down/change of pace back, but not an every down starter. and when you’ve got big hopes for a 2-back system of McBush already in place, somebody like Justin Fargas is the odd man out …
say what you will about fumbles or conditioning, but McBush is certainly what grandpa al wants to see shine this season under Hue Jackson
March 12th, 2010 at 8:54 am
The world cup is in africa?…they got soccer fields there?…will there be like wilderbeasts on the field? Hey now….if so, that would be cool, would actually make the event worth watching,..if its on tv.

Right… Al is downsizing in anticipation of a 2011 lockout right?
Lol, Al would never overspend on players would he?
Russell, DHB, and McFadden account for about half of that figure.
Toss in Seymour, the STU, Routt and Nnamdi and that statement is downright ridiculous.
Al will try to improve this team the only way he knows how: by throwing lots of money at athletes.
Al just hasn’t made a big FA splash. His draft will raise eyebrows (rounds 1 &2), hopefully in a good way (rounds 3-7).
March 12th, 2010 at 9:10 am
Don’t get why teams pursue the beat-up LJs, LTs and Westbrooks as FAs. Unless they want them for the stewpot at a big hoedown, they have definitely been tenderized with all the pounding absorbed.
On another hand (Dakota’s same hand?), if I was JaMarginal, every time I found McF in the huddle I would audible to a hand-off no matter what play was called. Hand the ball to DMc and watch the tripping and crashing and fumbling mania ensue, followed by tremendous catcalls and hoots of derision. Get all the boos focused on a different culprit.

Although South Africans reserve the right to use said necklaces in lieu of medals if the successful teams at the World Cup are not their liking.
March 12th, 2010 at 9:16 am
Fargas has the weirdest trend of jumping to catch the ball, even if it is heading straight for his midsection.
Never understood this. Every time he caught the ball, he was at almost a standstill and had to get going again.
He did make a nice catch on that 4th down play early in the Pitt game. Just another walk on water moment for Bruce.

Go Rebels!!! What do you know about that?
March 12th, 2010 at 9:28 am
I think T.O. is a serious schmuck.
Not a bad guy, but, a true schmuck.
And with that being said, I think he’d actually fit in on this team pretty well.
Despite his age, he’d still be the featured receiver and that means more catches and open field for our best receiver. . . . .Chaz Schilens.
There’s no reason why Owens can’t put up another 2-3 good years. He’s every bit as good an athlete as Rice was and Rice was good until about 38 years old if I recall correctly.
March 12th, 2010 at 9:31 am
hopefully “the new and improved JaMarginal”
-can grasp Hue Jackson’s playbook
-listens to Cable, Hackett & Tollner
-develops a chemistry with his young wides
-can survey the entire field
-can get rid of the ball quicker
-has at least adequate footwork & pocket awareness
-can hit somebody in the hands or chest besides Miller or Schilens
March 12th, 2010 at 9:32 am
as for T I-me-me-mine O, his complaints that he would have Rice-like numbers with better QBs…ahem, T I-me-me-mine O has led the NFL in dropped passes since he came into the league. Multiply drops by 14 years, add to total catches and yards…
March 12th, 2010 at 9:33 am
Didn’t know you worked on the joint, lol! Well if you guys weren’t drinking on the job….just messing.
The Rebels finally beat Utah, and they should be in the tourney now. Would be nice to beat BYU again.
Looking forward to this UNM-SDSU game. My wife is a Lobo alum, so we pull for them, and SDSU needs a win to boost their tourney chances. It will be a damn good game, IMO!!
March 12th, 2010 at 9:36 am
Lonetree:
Would you not take accept those dropped passes in a heartbeat? For every drop the dude has had in his career, he’s made a crap load more great plays than 80% of other receivers in the same time span.
Hell, we’re so starved for plays at that position that I’m willing to accept some drops here and there.
As long as he doesn’t blow up again, he’d be a good fit.
And frankly, I think he’s at an age where he’s started to “get it”, that all the “blow-ups” haven’t won him many friends throughout the years.
Sign the man to an incentive-filled contract and cut him whenever you want to.
March 12th, 2010 at 9:37 am
Meant to say “would you not accept those dropped passes. . . .”
March 12th, 2010 at 9:37 am
RR,
King James & the Cavs will destroy the Fakers this year!
Damn you Fakers!
March 12th, 2010 at 9:38 am
I agree with Silver-n-Smac.
Owens on the field means less attention towards Schilens, Miller, Murphy, Higgins & McFadden (out of the backfield)
March 12th, 2010 at 9:38 am
There is nothing here for TO to screw-up. As long as Al doesn’t overpay him, I see very little harm in bringing him in.
He is a grade A douchebag, but so are plenty of guys in the league. He is a hard-worker and would be a nice red-zone threat for the great Grads to utilize.
March 12th, 2010 at 9:40 am
where is Dakota with his “T.O. list” ???
I think it may need to be updated …
March 12th, 2010 at 9:42 am
RR,
The Middle East will Rise Again! No more Black Gold for You!
Print That! Hey Now!
March 12th, 2010 at 9:43 am
Hell No on TO!!
March 12th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Yup. I agree Vegas.
Like you said, “Grade A Douchebag” he is for sure.
The bottom line is: would we rather have an ass like Moss who basically quits on the field?
Would we rather have a dude who is constantly involved with off-field incidents?
T.O. comes with some baggage but as long as you make a decent effort to keep him involved in the game plan, I think he’ll be alright.
And I’m not suggesting kissing his ass by feeding by force-feeding him the ball.
I’m simply saying if he proves to still have the skills, then by all means, make an effort early in games to get him “into” the game.
He always performs at a high level when he believes the team wants him to make plays.
March 12th, 2010 at 9:45 am
2 or 3 years ago, I would never be saying what I’m saying about T.O.
You couldn’t pay me to have him on my team.
But I think he’s actually been maturing, bit by bit.
March 12th, 2010 at 9:46 am
We have plenty of young WRs who drop the ball, so why add a vet too?
March 12th, 2010 at 9:47 am
how much do players like Ben Watson, Scott Fujita and Tony Pashos improve the Browns?
then they cut Derek Anderson & trade for Seneca Wallace.
then they put Brady Quinn on the trade block and bring Jake Delhomme in for a visit.
then they cut Jamal Lewis and bring Justin Fargas in for a visit.
none of these moves make them a better football team!
they are still 5-11 quality in my book.
I’m glad Al Davis isn’t just making moves for the sake of making them. and he’s actually cutting some of the dead weight. I like it!
March 12th, 2010 at 9:51 am
Do any of those young WR’s put any kind of fear into a defense at this point?
I love our young wide outs and frankly, I’d be cool with Schilens, Murphy, DHB & Higgens.
But I think we’d be better with a guy like Owens in the mix.
Damn, come on now after 7 years of hell, what could we possibly have to lose with this signing?
You really think a 36 year old T.O. is gonna come in here and destroy all team chemistry?
I think those years are a bit behind him. He’s frankly not that relevant any more.
March 12th, 2010 at 9:51 am
TO may have matured a tad, but that is strictly because he is not good enough to get away with the BS he got away with 5-6 years ago.
I’m the same way, I would have never thought I would want TO on my team. But really, what harm could it do?
March 12th, 2010 at 9:51 am
RR,
Other than Peppers, Kampman, and Dansby, this is not a great year for signing FAs.
I really wanted one of those three.

Umm. That’s the whole point — to light a fire under JaMarcus. I don’t care if they’re BFFs.
March 12th, 2010 at 9:54 am
Owens had 10 drops last year.
targeted 109 times and had 55 catches.
In comparison …
DHB had 6 drops
targeted 40 times and had 9 catches.
Murphy had 9 drops
targeted 96 times and had 34 catches.
***
combine the rookie WR’s numbers
would you rather have 55 catches & 10 drops or 43 catches & 15 drops ???
March 12th, 2010 at 9:54 am
Yeah, the FA list is pretty weak this year, as expected.
It appears Big Al is gonna hit the draft hard this year and if so, I think that’s the right move.
I think every single pick, with the exception of perhaps one mid-round QB, should be an offensive and defensive lineman.
Improve this team in the trenches and we will be a lot closer to the playoffs.
Playoffs?!!!
Yeah, playoffs.
March 12th, 2010 at 9:58 am
What Al will probably do:
1-Campbell OT
2- Best RB
3- Tebow QB
3b- FAst DB from nowhere’s ville

we still need a FB unless Oren O’Neal can stay healthy or we can sign Brad Hoover in free agency.
and we have no depth at corner beyond Asomugha, Johnson & Routt.
also need a return specialist.
March 12th, 2010 at 10:01 am
I would draft Tebow in the 3rd, but no way he lasts till the the 3rd! The Jags may draft him in the 1st, and they will draft him in the 2nd.
March 12th, 2010 at 10:03 am
Vegas –
I’d be VERY surprised if Al Davis went after Tim Tebow, even in the 3rd round …
he’ll get a taller kid with a bigger arm.
think Russell & Walter here.
6′6″ with a rocket arm and questionable (everything else)
March 12th, 2010 at 10:06 am
If Al takes a QB, that Ryan Periloux kid who got kicked out of everywhere would be a typical Al 5th round pick.
Don’t lose sight that Cable is a big-time bible-thumper. Tebow and Cable can discuss Isiah and the prophets in between film studies.
March 12th, 2010 at 10:08 am
O Mock Draft 9.0:
1- Trade up for Suh (trade our 1st, 3rd, and 4th)

Can ANYONE ever state that some A hole on the team affected how the whole team did? How much effort you put into your game? Whether or not you still practiced as hard?
And these are grown ass men..professionals..with families, etc. Everyone in the NFL has an ego to some point, or you’re not in the league.
Guys workout, shower, and get the hell out of there.
What happens between two players in the locker room means squat to everyone else.
Facts are that TO has made the teams he’s played on a better team.
Raiders sign him, and immediately he’s the best WR on the roster, and immediately the passing game has improved….
As long as JR isn’t in there.

Jerry, what the hell are you drinking?! Olde English 800?!
We need to bring in TO? Sure, like we need BO.
One of the biggest problems with the Raiders in the last few years-and there are many to pick from-has been a selfish attitude in the locker room.
If Cable has done ONE thing, it’s that he has worked to change that by bringing in players to improve on that me-first attitude-and you want to bring in TO?!
I can recommend a fine ten-year Scotch if you like Jerry because what you’re drinking is clogging up the thinking process.

Well, he does seem to thump a few things.
Maybe he does want Tebow.

Butterbean does fit the profile of a bible thumper. Stupid, incapable of critical thought, follows the lead of people, or owners, who don’t know what THEY’RE doing, sees himself as a hero for beating up someone half his size.

Richochet, I’ve heard Howie Long talk about the importance of teammates getting along with each other. He said that he and Marcus Allen got in a fight but they quickly became friends afterward. Last I checked, Howie Long has played sports.

Oh boy…here we go with this TO signing with Oakland stuff.
At this point….it doesn’t really matter if he comes here or not.
Once the losing 4 in a row starts….then he will effectively shut it down and not play hard every play anyway.
Adding him or not adding will NOT get this dis organization or team where it needs to go anyway.

========================
Bull…show me where Long stated how important it was for team chemistry?
Long played on teams where LOTS of the players butted heads..just like it happens now on many if not most teams.
Offense lined up against defense usually has altercations, that yeah, guys get over.
THAT’S THE POINT..Hell, Romo punched a fellow player out, ending his career…
well??? WHAT WAS THE MAJOR FALL OUT OF THAT?
Nothing…zero.
yeah after year Romo and LOTS of players get in fist fights..what’s the fall out? NOTHING.
A TO btching and moaning in the locker room? About not getting enough balls? you really think other players give a rats ass?
They could care less.

Raider O Says:
March 12th, 2010 at 10:54 am
RR,
Houston is a beast too, but I would trade up for Suh, draft Spikes in the 2nd, and that will improve our run defense for the next decade.
Mario gets another chance, and we can draft a RT in later RDs like Sam Young, Ciron Black, etc…
^^^^^^^
That would not be bad either.
Trade the #8 pick and one of the 3rds and one of the 5ths and to the Rams or Lions to get Suh. Draft Spikes in Round 2 if he is there. Then go with an OT like Black in Round 3 and maybe Center or KR/slot WR in Round 4.
March 12th, 2010 at 11:44 am
According to Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post, a union between free agent Terrell Owens and the Raiders “won’t happen.”
The match is ideal on paper, but Lombardi is worth trusting as a former Raiders personnel man. He notes that Al Davis doesn’t like competition, and T.O. plays the same position as 2009 first-round pick Darrius Heyward-Bey. With five months left before Week 1, we can safely say the Raiders’ QBs are doomed.
March 12th, 2010 at 11:47 am
LB Andra Davis has been released.
Could be a nice addition.

Restricted free agent MLB Kirk Morrison says he’s drawing interest from a “few” teams so far.
http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2010/03/oakland_raiders_linebacker_kir.html
March 12th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
I wouldn’t be surprised if some team gives up a 3rd-round pick and signs Kirk as an RFA. If he stays I’d prefer to see him at OLB. In some ways he truly is a good player, but he gets out of position far too often and gets lost while sneaking up into the trenches while RBs break runs off tackle for big gains. If he had better instincts and stayed more disciplined I think Kirk would be a very good player.
March 12th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
I was at the Warrior game last night and was talking the fellas sitting next to me and buddy about how horrible and stupid Al Davis is now.
He was talking about he has skybox season tickets for 5 years and that last year was the final straw until Al Davis dies and when they clean house in the front office. He says the season ticket reps tried to give him the bullcrap guilt trip “your just a bandwagon Raider fan” and he was livid after that, then he told his rep, “yeah I’m a bandwagoner who was spending 15-20K a year for Al Davis and what did I get in return?”
His ticket rep shut his mouth after that and the guy continued to rip the ticket rep, saying that he hasn’t given up on the Raiders….but he has given up on Al Davis and cronie enablers like Trask, Herrera, and Taylor who will do anything to keep their jobs as long as they can.
March 12th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
A 3rd rounder for Kirk wouldn’t be a bad swap, but who are we going to get to play MLB? Ricky Brown? I’m not at all high on the top MLBs coming out this year (McClain, Spikes, etc.). Are there any stop-gap guys out there in FA?
If some team does give up a 3rd for Kirk, we’d have 3 3rd-round picks. In that scenario I wouldn’t at all mind a swap of our 1st and two of our 3rds to move up and take Suh.
March 12th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
Lol knight,..the rep should have told him, ‘dont let the door hit ya in the aasss on the way out…’…word.

No business. No future. No prospects. No canvassing.

As a community service, I think I’m going to lobby to get him some realtor training.
When you’ve been in the industry for over a quarter of a century, and you STILL haven’t gotten past entry level in your trade?
Something is wrong.

Any better than Kirk? I see that D’Qwell Jackson (Browns) and Akin Ayodele (Dolphins) are the two highest rated UFA MLBs. Haven’t really watched either enough to have an opinion but it doesn’t seem like a great year for MLBs in either FA or the draft.

Debatable… Kirk really isn’t that great, though he has led the team in tackles the past three years isn’t saying much. Our run defensive is indicative of his lack of ability to stop the run, setup the defense, and his overall ability as the defensive field general.

repost –
The Raiders had the worst run defense in the NFL during Warren’s tenure, allowing 153.7 yards rushing per game and a league-worst 71 touchdowns on the ground. Warren had 77 solo tackles and 10 sacks in 44 games with Oakland.
The Raiders won just 14 games the past three years, extending their NFL-worst run of seven straight seasons with at least 11 losses.
Warren has never lived up to his draft billing after being selected third overall by the Cleveland Browns in 2001. He spent four disappointing years with the Browns before being dealt to Denver in 2005. He spent two years with the Broncos before they unloaded him to Oakland.
Warren has 229 solo tackles, 32 sacks, seven forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in his career. He has been to the playoffs just once in his nine seasons.

Kirk Morrison says he’s heard from teams
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 11, 2010 6:40 PM ET
It seemed like it was only a matter of time before teams started sniffing around Raiders linebacker Kirk Morrison, who will only cost a third-round pick and an offer sheet to acquire.
“There are some teams we’re looking at and we’ve talked to,” Morrison said on Sirius NFL Radio Thursday. “Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks we can get something done . . . either with the Raiders or with other teams.”
There is speculation in New York the Giants could make a play for Morrison, but nothing has been confirmed. We do know that the Cardinals don’t look interested.
The Raiders would seemingly be thrilled if Morrison signs an offer sheet elsewhere.
He’s not quite persona non grata like Randy Hanson — Morrison can get his own sandwiches — but the Raiders sent a clear message that’s he’s available with their low tender.
March 12th, 2010 at 1:17 pm

Looking like Big Dan might be coming on board, eh?
Or do you think Bryant put on that 15 lbs I was talking about?
March 12th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
By the way old man, the little Polock would be tossin TO the ball,..not Russell. Keepin it real.
March 12th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
Dakota
Put me on the yes to TO list. I don’t think we really need him for his receiver skills but rather to have someone that will call out players in public for not giving a 110% effort – especially JaBustus. That might be just what it takes to turn his lazy ass around.
March 12th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
One thing’s for sure. It’d be entertaining to watch T.O. and Russell throw each other under the bus.

Told you, Mikey, I’m on it.
After 25 plus years, all you’ve managed is the basics required to be a real estate agent..member of Calif, national, alameda assoc of realtors.
That’s basic bonehead entry level requirements.
Why accept being at the bottom of the barrel? Look at how many new realtors at Kane that already are past you?
Question is, Mikey, are you willing to get off your rather bulbous ass, and apply yourself? I’m a busy guy, and don’t have time for slackers.
#########################################
I’m worried about Kelli.
No business. No future. No prospects. No canvassing.
I mean, how many times can he stop by the barber shop, and discuss days of old with all the other geezers?
As a community service, I think I’m going to lobby to get him some realtor training.
When you’ve been in the industry for over a quarter of a century, and you STILL haven’t gotten past entry level in your trade?
Something is wrong.
Consider me your advocate, Mikey.
We’ll get you out of the gutter..with a lot of hard work, dedication, and desire.
You can thank me later, Kelli.

March 12th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Dakota – I’d take him. Seems to have settled down last year and just went about his business. He’d probably come relatively cheap too.
March 12th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
With only 2 DTs on the roster, we certainly will add another. And with Gerrard Warren being the best available DT on the market, I’m hoping for Dan Williams at 8.
March 12th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
And if he does decide pop off about Russell….GOOD!!!

I did want TO,..but now that old man kell is saying its a good idea, I nowe have to rethink it,..old man kell is an old frustrated jealous man,…I dont want TO if he does,..so I am now officially off the TO bandwagon…print that kids.
March 12th, 2010 at 1:51 pm
In the case of T.O., it is not an A+B=C equation. It is simpler than that.
#2 throws to #1WR = more 3 pt. tries for SeaBass
BECAUSE THE O-LINE NEEDS FIXED FIRST AND FOREMOST!!!!!
sign all the WRs you want and nothing will change. nothing. why waste the money and effort to sign another one when no one can adequately block?
March 12th, 2010 at 1:51 pm
DE’s James Hall & Leonard Little to visit the Saints
GM Mickey Loomis says they are in the market for a DE
I wonder if they’ll eventually look at Greg Ellis?
or if Dick Seymour hits a snag in negotiations with Al we could trade him there
March 12th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
Dang…just called Kelli’s real estate office that he works for.
They haven’t seen him in a while..keep transferring me to his message center, but in spite of my desires to help Kelli out of his funk, he’s no where to be found.
Anyone know the number to his favorite barber shop hangout?
Can’t you just see Kelli, ala Eddie Murphy’s group in “Coming to America” hanging out at the barber shop dive, swapping ’stories’? lol
March 12th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
To be honest my main concern over signing TO last March was what he might do to our young QB…well, a year latter and that young QB fuked himself by being a lazy ass POS, so I am not dead set against TO anymore.
Heck, he might at least make another bad year at least entertaining to watch.
Since Al already fuked the season by keeping Cable and Russell, why not?
March 12th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
T.O. could make it an entertaining 5-11, at least.

This draft is deep at the DT and DE positions….so with that said an OT will most likely be taken or a RDE pass rusher with that #8 unless there is a TRADE DOWN, which never happens cause the old man is stubborn.
The 2nd round pick should be on a DT like Houston, Price, Cody or Adkins.

I would think that with Barnes and Pears on the roster, along with Henderson, Cable has the type of guys he likes to play his system.
I really seems like Dline is going to be the pick, Either Seymour is moving inside and we go DE, or DT is the pick.
I think Vegas’ angle of Oline in rd 3 is going to be about right.

Fans need a reason to believe. Getting rid of starters from a bad team, and not replacing them isn’t the exact way to instill confidence.
Looking at the schedule, Colts, Houston, Rams, Miami, plus division, there isn’t any games that are going to warrant fan turnout…
Better hope for a Monday night game, where the station snatches up tickets, like last year, or it will be 15 straight blackouts.
Nice legacy you’re leaving Al.

FU LJ!
So much for L.J.
Former Chiefs running back Larry Johnson signed with the Redskins, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, which means he won’t be visiting the Raiders on Sunday as reported by profootballtalk.com.
That’s fine just the same. If the Raiders really needed a veteran running back, they could have just kept Justin Fargas instead of cutting him last week. He’s still available, by the way, after visits this week with the Chiefs, Browns and Eagles.
What Oakland needs to do is just hand the running chores over to Darren McFadden and Michael Bush and see what happens. Bringing in a veteran player with issues isn’t the best way to move this offense and locker room forward.
If Redskins coach Mike Shanahan can squeeze production out of L.J.’s legs, more power to him in the NFC East.

the answer is no. Kirk Morrison is better than any rookie we could get in round 3 or any of the scrubs left in free agency. However, if the Raiders have decided it’s time to move on then maybe we can turn to Andra Davis or Antonio Pierce in free agency?
one of these guys can compete with Ricky Brown and possibly a rookie for the starting MLB job …

That’s why he should just draft Spoon at #8 and then go with OT or DT in Round 2!

interesting.
Spoon at 8, Houston or Cody in Round 2.
patch up the O-Line in Round 3 (we’ll have three 3rd rounders if we manage to get one for Kirk.) that means C, RG & RT
^^^^^^^^^
Yep!
Nothing wrong with potentially loading up on O-Line in the 3rd Round if necessary.
Get the beast all three down LB who can play ALL LB spots at #8 and then draft the best DT in Round 2 between Lamarr Houston, Terrance Cody or Cam Thomas. One of the three if not two of the three will be there in Round 2.
Then go O-Line on 3rd Round.
