Remember, Uncle Steve was initially drafted by the Cowboys, and then traded to THE RAIDERS. Maybe Jerra can swing another deal for young Wiz and send him our way.

@ JFB:
Nnamdi is a crucial player for the Raiders, and quite frankly, with his loss the overall production of the secondary would suffer. The advantage of playing aside Nnamdi is knowing the balls coming to you quite often…But I still dont see Al letting Nnamdi go, thats his probowl draft pick

MHuff commented via twitter that he didn’t expect the Raiders to use the franchise tag (and they would not have if not for some stupid rule, and lawyers not knowing that rule when drafting the initial contract for Wimbley) and he expects Miller & Bush to be back because they would be RFAs. He thinks they are going to let him and Gallery test the open mkt with talks open to coming back to Oakland.

Where are you guys getting this touchdown given up stat on Routt? 29 sounds a bit far fetched, happy countin’ don’t you think?

=====================================================
Not Routt. The entire defense gave up 29 pass TDs.

With Nnamdi giving up zero

Just want to know how the defense gets better losing all pro players and not adding anyone and also possibly losing a FS that finally started playing ball.

Our defense allowed a 53% completion rate last season, 2nd best in the league.

Too many big plays that need to be tightened up, and our SS coverage was abysmal.

That’s the main issue.

Don’t even think of putting MM34 at FS. That guy is born SS. If anyone it should be Branch or Brown. Not MM34

I think potentially losing Huff is much more problematic to our secondary than Nnamdi.

We have guys on our roster who have started and experienced success (CJ37) ready to take over.

Who on our roster is going to replace Huff? MM34 and Stevie Brown have never started at FS, and the only other guy to have started (Hiram Eugene) I am not excited to see him in there.

———————–

Draft Robert Sands…@ FS I’m sure he’ll do better than MM34 or Brown!

Skip to the 57sec. mark!
