Steve Hutchinson is convinced a lockout is coming
Posted by Mike Florio on August 6, 2010 5:50 PM ET
For months, NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith has pegged the likelihood of a lockout at 14 on a scale of one to 10.

Vikings All-Pro guard Steve Hutchinson apparently agrees.

“The owners fully intend to lock us out,” Hutchinson said Friday after the team’s practice, according to Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. “That’s why they negotiated a TV contract that would pay them with the lockout happening [in 2011]. They fully wanted this to happen because they made sure they were going to be compensated if in fact there was no season played.”

We still think there’s a chance — a good chance — that the owners are bluffing, and that they want the players to think that a lockout is coming, so that the players will be forced to take the last pre-lockout offer. But we feel less strongly about that than we used to.

But Hutchinson didn’t mention one key reality of the television contracts. If the union prevails in its attempt to block the league from pocketing the TV money in a lockout, the owners won’t be compensated if there’s no season played. And perhaps the leverage will swing to the union.

Either way, the NFL season unofficially officially begins on Sunday night with the Hall of Fame game, and it could be the last unofficial official beginning to an NFL season for a while.

In most alignments, it will be Seymour as the three technique and Kelly over the nose, but Cable said the Raiders will be able to slide their line to create mismatches.

Henderson is the biggest player of the four, and in a best-case scenario could push Kelly to either better production or more snaps on the bench.

Semms like Miller and Campbell have clicked pretty well which means that Miller is going to get alot of attention this season. So what happens if Miller gets nicked and has to miss some time? Who is backing him up? Meyer’s? Really? He showed some promise, but he’s still raw.
We need to pay special attention to the tight end spot. campbell likes a solid tight end.
So what has Tony Stewart done to warrant a roster spot besides making an occasional catch, some adequate blocking and ok special teams work? I think we need an upgrade there. Are ther any other tight ends on the roster?

If Condo was suddenly cut, that dude would have so many teams after him it would be ridiculous.

Oakland Raiders Should Sign Plaxico Burress
By William Boor (Correspondent) on August 5, 2010
Al Bello/Getty Images Should the Raiders take a chance on Burress?
Yes
No
Former New York Giant receiver Plaxico Burress has applied for a work release from prison. If granted a release, it is expected that his suspension would be lifted and the 33-year-old receiver would be eligible to return to the National Football League.

Work release rules state that an inmate can work Monday through Friday and return to prison on the weekends. The inmate is also not allowed to travel outside the state. Burress would need to get a waiver to be able to play in the NFL and although waivers are rare, they are not impossible.

Burress is a 6’5″ receiver who has the experience—and the play making ability—the Raiders need. Burress caught 12 touchdown passes in 2008, including the Super Bowl winning touchdown, and has averaged six touchdowns a year throughout his nine-year career.

The Raiders offense has struggled the past few years, partly because of JaMarcus Russell, but also because there is a lack of experience and big-play ability within the receiving corps. Experience and big-play ability are both things Burress would offer the Raiders.

Louis Murphy led the Raiders’ receivers with 34 receptions last year. Plaxico Burress has had 35 receptions or more every year of his career except for his rookie year.

The Raiders top four receivers, Louis Murphy, Chaz Schilens, Johnnie Lee Higgins, and Darrius Heyward-Bey, combined for seven touchdown receptions last year. Burress has had seven or more touchdowns in three of his past four seasons, with the exception being the 2008 season which was shortened by injuries.

When people think of Plaxico Burress, they think he would bring baggage because of his time in jail, but the shooting was one isolated incident, and was more of an example of Burress being stupid than him having a bad image.

The Raiders needs to take a chance on Burress and a veteran to the group of young receivers
