Fitzgerald a Raider? Dream on
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010 at 12:01 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Once up on a time, Larry Fitzgerald pondered the possibility of playing for the Raiders.
The Raiders had the No. 2 overall selection behind the San Diego Chargers. Fitzgerald, a consensus top five pick out of Pittsburgh was flown to Alameda for a pre-draft visit along. Also at the facility was the man the Raiders would eventually select with the pick.
“Me and Robert (Gallery) were out there together,” Fitzgerald told Bay Area reporters by conference call Wednesday. “I remember it vividly. I was out there with Mr. (Mike) Lombardi and got to meet Mr. Davis and the whole staff, organization.”
Fitzgerald said it really didn’t matter to him one way or the other which team selected him.
“You know what, at that time I was just elated to have the opportunity to play in the NFL, I could have cared less where I would be playing football, I just knew that I was about to embark on my lifelong drive and that was to play professionally, so I really didn’t have any preference as to where I was going to play,” Fitzgerald said.
The Raiders can hardly be faulted for taking Gallery, considered at the time one of the safest picks in the draft as a franchise left tackle. To be fair, many other teams would have made the same call. There was no way of knowing Gallery would eventually become a guard and be beset by injuries.
At the time, the Raiders felt pretty good about their receiving corps of Jerry Porter, Ronald Curry and Doug Gabriel. The following year, they would bring in Randy Moss.
Since that 2005 season, Fitzgerald has more receptions than any receivcer in the NFL (475) for 6,413 yards and 52 touchdowns. The Raiders recieving leaders during that span _ Jerry Porter, Ronald Curry (in 2006 and 2007), Johnnie Lee Higgins and Louis Murphy, combined for 249 receptions, 3,273 yards and 18 touchdowns.
But while Fitzgerald was available and brought in for a visit, it was purely for show. They never considered drafting him because he didn’t have a fast enough time in the 40-yard dash. Davis’ favorite receiver, I’ve been told by was Roy Williams out of Texas.
More to come later . . .

I hope the young guys start/continue to flourish and the Chazzinator can come back and contribute.

Kinda funny Oakdork having long exchanges with TJ, using two/three different handles at the same time, while TJ thought he was in a virtual lovefest of adoring admirers, who patted him on his head, agreeing with every word, too damn slow to realize all three are the same guy…

Oh, I know he was involved, big time.
Was referring to the JFK comment…guess you’re right though..that Bay of Pigs thang did tent to piss off Fidel.
Not sure how wise that was, though, of Fidel. I mean, considering you’re dead on about Cuba being the east coast Vegas, which it was becoming, Cuba would be rolling in bucks had they just slapped on a suitable “tax” or whatever..not to mention all the money the high rollers spread around their economy.

September 23rd, 2010 at 12:20 pm
JUST LOSE will show up when JLH,Big John and DMAC all have bad games
You should have seen how mad he was when JLH caught that TD pass vs Seattle in last preseason game
I bet he was pissed when Big John was stuffing the run this past week
Obviously DMAC looks better so the guy may be bout to kick the chair like the old man from Shawshank Redemption
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Fitz? Who cares? He’d have suffered with crap numbers just like Moss did.
Everyone bishes on Moss “quitting” on us but man, 72 sacks that year and how many hurries?
Moss had a record sertting career year RIGHT after we dumped him for a 4th.
Fitz would’ve done little to nothing to help unless he could play O line.

Was this before she was knocked up by Swiss or after? So let me guess hmmmmmm after. So she is standing in your kitchen 8 months pregnant by Swiss, gut hanging down, butt @$$ necked cooking you grits and what happens next?

Jmack is Back….And Here is my 2cents….
1. Watched the game again..(Daniel Loper) is a pretty good player..Played ok..
2. Starting to think that Seymour is not our best DT, and we may have a few better on the roster..But i still think hes great for our team and in Pass Rush Situations..We stoped the run pretty damn well with what we played with sunday.
3.GaterRaider..lol..
4. If Bush is back, and DMAC plays the way he has..We will run the ball all over this small defense, and Bruce is goign to have all day with play action.
5. Also, i was thinking about Campbell…I think later down the road it will pay off sitting him early..Maybe comes back later in the season playing with some fire..CABLE said it very well that its a nice situation, we have 2 quarterbacks that can play well.. Thats what we all asked for wasn’t it, a QB who wasn’t drinking syrup..lol..
6. AND LASTLY…when we win this sunday..who is your game MVP…

September 23rd, 2010 at 12:40 pm
I think Bush runs for a 150 yards. DMAC will get several yards rushing and receiving. The Raiders will dominate and all Bruce will have to do is hand the ball off to win. AZ will get a late TD in garbage time.
MVP Bush

We might need him next week facing DeMeco Ryans, Mario Williams & Amobi Okoye!
McProBowl is doing just fine … give him another 30 carries
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:44 pm

Once upon a time in America!
=================
Great movie. Looooong movie, but shows how much the Jewish mobsters were involved.
Meyer Lansky was one of the more powerful mobsters, and never spent a day in jail.
******************************
Meyer was the real BAUCE!. Ask Al Davis lol about Super Bowl II and being punked by him……but JFK screwed over Meyer…..Cuba was suppose to be what Las Vegas is but on an island
=======================
Yeah, Meyer was one smart mother. The Italians knew to keep him in their corner, and they made lots of moolah..
JFK? Thought it was Castro that took over all of the casino’s and clubs that the mafia owned, in Cuba?
Recall seeing on A&E how Luciano had to pay Castro 5 mil to let out one of the top mob guys, out of Cuba, who was running things for the mob
*************************************
You are correct on your info PEDO but Meyer was totally involved down there…….this is common knowledge. dude was a BAUCE and Al Davis knew to adhere to some shhhht as well
====================================
Oh, I know he was involved, big time.
Was referring to the JFK comment…guess you’re right though..that Bay of Pigs thang did tent to piss off Fidel.
Not sure how wise that was, though, of Fidel. I mean, considering you’re dead on about Cuba being the east coast Vegas, which it was becoming, Cuba would be rolling in bucks had they just slapped on a suitable “tax” or whatever..not to mention all the money the high rollers spread around their economy.
***********************************
One of the reasons JFK got offed……homeboy had his change of heart too late lol…..cant switch sides playa lol
=======================
Yep.
I mean, Daddy’s connections swayed the union vote towards his son…well, not “sway” more like union expected “favors” down the line…instead JFK and his brother go after the teamsters, and the mafia, full force??
I wonder if “Daddy” told his son how, exactly, he got all those union votes?
Something tells me he didn’t…

MVP this week will be Jano. Despite the qb change we still have to rely on our kicker. He hits 5 fgs in the desert including one from downtown Phoenix for a new nfl record.
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:48 pm
Yea Bush mite wanna sit out…I know his thumb isnt healed by now and why have him pull a Schilens and play with a injury and get hurt even more
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:48 pm
Jano = garbage
The end
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:49 pm
Bruce will be the MVP
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:52 pm
RR,
Which is more ridiculous from tj:
A) Saying all Russell needs is a wife & kid to get his career on track.
B) Calling Nick Miller a DB killer.
C) Syaing anybody should resist arrest if they dont know why they are being arrested
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:53 pm
This years draft seems like there will be lots of good QB’s
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:54 pm
lol, that guy cracks me up, tj
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:54 pm
win = cable as mvp
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:56 pm
I’d still rather have Roy Williams that Gallery.
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:56 pm
tj is not just a barrell of monkeys he is also the barrell and the little hat with a propeller on top.
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Plunk – check out QB Katz from Ore St. going up against Boise State. The guy is for real.
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:57 pm
i’d rather have hank williams than gallery
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:57 pm

dakota Id rather have Roy Rogers than Gallery right now and his stuffed horse too. Gallery is an injury prone slug.
September 23rd, 2010 at 12:58 pm
Yes, this way you can still criticize AL for not addressing the O-line.

Oh wait..

September 23rd, 2010 at 1:01 pm
you ever wonder is ADavis watches cops to look for new receivers? Those guys have to be running sub 4.3
cocaine’s a hell of a drug
September 23rd, 2010 at 1:03 pm
Bboy you should have stopped with the H Williams blast that was good!
This…
“you ever wonder is ADavis watches cops to look for new receivers? Those guys have to be running sub 4.3″
Not so much.
September 23rd, 2010 at 1:07 pm
Gallery soft as medicated cotton
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I could not help but think about LT while watching
Barry Simms cave in the defense from the LT position on S.F’s go ahead touchdown against the Saints this week.
Gallery ended up at RT because he coud not beat out Simms.

MVP this week will be Fargas.
For not making the roster this year so we could score some rushing TDs
September 23rd, 2010 at 1:13 pm
DHB vs Fitz is going to be a nice comparison this Sunday.
September 23rd, 2010 at 1:13 pm
My bad MistaBr0wn…i’m fatigued..i’ll sit the next few plays out.

Should Cable get a win this weekend he is on track to be the best coach since Gruden (I know it’s a short list).
