Asomugha not interested in Texans?
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011 at 4:57 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Houston Texans have been my personal favorite in the Nnamdi Asomugha sweepstakes once the NFL gets back to business.
A blog by Houston Chronicle columnist Richard Justice suggests Asomugha doesn’t want any part of Houston.
I figured with Houston’s pass defense (pathetic) an excellent offense and a strong desire to get to the playoffs, owner Bob McNair would open his checkbook to bring in Asomugha.
Can’t say I’ve heard anything definitive about what Asomugha wants. He’s pretty good at playing it close to the vest. It’s simply not his style to denigrate a potential destination. He hasn’t ruled out the Raiders in the few interviews he’s done since the end of the season.
There are true believers who think Asomugha could still wind up re-signing with the Raiders, but virtually every road sign is pointing out of town.
The evidence is simply too strong. Owner Al Davis has already said publicly the money that would have been spent on Asomugha could be used to sign other players _ and then the Raiders brought back Richard Seymour and Stanford Routt for big bucks, not to mention Daniel Loper, Hiram Eugene and Rock Cartwright.
Besides re-upping with Routt, the Raiders drafted cornerbacks DeMarcus Van Dyke and Chimdi Chekwa a year after taking Walter McFadden and Jeremy Ware.
Add to it the fact that Asomugha is so far and away the top free agent on the market, he’s liable to bring home something in the ballpark of what he got the last time he signed _ a $45.3 million, three-year contract (the final year voided) that was the talk of the NFL. It was a contract so big the Raiders were relieved when the last year voided because of failure to meet statistical incentives.
Aside from Houston, expected suitors for Asomugha include NFC East teams Philadelphia, Dallas and Washington.

Good Luck Nnamdi.
May 17th, 2011 at 5:07 pm
It is true Nnamdi can bring in a huge haul but for some reason I keep thinking he’s going to be a Raider for a couple of more years. Nnamdi really rich even before he signed that contract he had a year or two fanchise tags worth $11 ea. That’s QB money to be sure.
He’s got maybe 2 more contracts in him I’m thinking he’ll stay for some reason
May 17th, 2011 at 5:09 pm
I’m not at all saying we won’t be good in the secondary because I think we will without him. I just think he wants to taste winning here first.
May 17th, 2011 at 5:13 pm
It doesn’t make sense to spurn any team publicly when you are looking for a contract every team is leverage. Even if you have no intentions on ever going there.
May 17th, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Nnamdi was as good as gone the second Davis asked him whether ‘he wanted to be here’ following the Revis/Jets talk last year…
May 17th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
I think aso will take revis money to stay here which is around 12 million,and for that I think al will pay him.
May 17th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
Well we’ll see there’s no way to really know until Nnamdi talks.
May 17th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
Chuck I do to Big Al doesn’t lose players he really wants to keep. So we’ll see what happens.
May 17th, 2011 at 5:55 pm
The NBA draft lottery is a flat out joke. The NBA is dictating where teams pick picks 10-14 are selecting exactly where they finished now what is the likelyhood of that? they’re matching it up so the team that need the most help get it. I was hoping the Warriors would come in somewhere in the top 8 They made sure Cleveland got two picks in the top 3 which is a load of crap.
They’re making up for the LBJ decision to get those fans back into that biulding. David Stern is not stupid he knows how to keep this league healthy.
May 17th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
I can’t remeber the last time a team finishing out of the top ten got into the top 3 it never happens anymore since the Warriors were the worst team and ended up picking 7th to get Chris Mullen and the Knicks got Ewing.
May 17th, 2011 at 6:01 pm
al was not going to pay him 16 mil. With rod woodson here and us getting better I think he will stay.
May 17th, 2011 at 7:01 pm
Its going to come down to whether Philly or Dallas gives him the bank…which is possible given their defenses.
Hard to not see Davis not match an offer in the $12million range. Davis strong beliefs in the secondary and bump-n-run coverage and the fact he developed this kid just defies belief given all the investment in cornerbacks and safeties.
If Nnamdi does go, LET’S NOT PUT ALL THE PRESSURE ON THE KIDS REPLACING HIM. Those kids will have to learn as they go, just like Nnamdi did, and at times it won’t be pretty. Gotta grin and bear it and stick with them…..
This defense will come down to whether the front 7 can stop the run and get at the passer…..
May 17th, 2011 at 7:41 pm
I’d advise any team (including the Raids) contemplating signing Nnamdi to consider how he became a free agent.
May 17th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
Man I would love nothing more than Nnamdi coming back and spend the rest of his career in Silver and Black, but I think he will leave becasue he wants a championship…But if he stays and our team keeps improving like the last two years we have a chance of winning one with him before he retires. I think Rod Woodson will do a great job with our young guys regardless.
May 17th, 2011 at 7:52 pm
Raiderman99,
So how does Nnamdi exactly get the opposing QB to throw the ball to his guy that is blanketed?
It defies logic that a team is better off with somone who gets burned a few times, gives up receptions…just because he grabs a few INTs? Ridiculous.
I’ll take the CB that shuts his guy down to 1 or 2 catches…gives up no TDs…but gets no INTs…over a deAngelo Hall gambler that may get you a few picks but is also busy getting scorched for TDs, long 3rd down completions etc……
May 17th, 2011 at 7:53 pm
Y’all remember deAngelo….sure was a playmaker…LOL
May 17th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
With all that said…the Raiders are smart not to overpay for a Cornerback….Secondary is exactly that…secondary!- but a bad CB can kill you…see Walter McFadden in the Dolphins game or deAngelo Hall in his 8 games here.
Its all about the Front 7 and the D-Line…and finally Al Davis has come around to this by basically keeping Seymour over Asomugha.
May 17th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
chances are good that Nnamdi stays in Oakland…Why?
Because where else can you get QB money to do nothing in the pass game and not have to help out as an extra man against the run game.
He goes anywhere else and he will be exposed…Oakland is the perfect fit for him.

Hate to say it, but I agree. I’m not convinced he’s the shutdown guy everyone says he is. Dwayne Bowe has kicked his ass a couple of times. And we all saw what Miles Austin did to him on Thanksgiving a couple of years ago. I’d be interested to see him really get tested somewhere else.
May 17th, 2011 at 8:15 pm
Why couldn’t they expose him here they tried like hell, but they couldn’t do it. If you heard the QB’s and rec’s discussing why they should or shouldn’t throw at him, they would be the ones getting exposed.
What uniform he wears doesn’t make him worse or better. He’d get a lot more opportunities to get picks somewhere else.
May 17th, 2011 at 8:17 pm
What’s going to be different? please do tell??
May 17th, 2011 at 8:17 pm
let’s not forget he gets injured and misses a game or two every year after what?…..25 tackles?

————————————————
easily done Priest…throw to your #1 receiver being covered by the #2 DB on the other side of the field, no worries about Nnamdi sacking you while you ignore him.
May 17th, 2011 at 8:21 pm
I think we are nipiking just a bit aren’t we? What’s he supposed to be a robot?
May 17th, 2011 at 8:22 pm
What??? WHAT??? What does that mean??
May 17th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
if a DL or LB is dominant, what do you do? You run right at him so he can’t roam and help the other ones and freelance.
Nnamdi is riding the coat-tails of not being tested, not from shutting #1’s down consistently. He may be able to, but rarely has to.
May 17th, 2011 at 8:25 pm
I think I heard this same stuff when Charles Woodson was a FA. He’s overrated, he’s hurt too much. He’ll get killed somewhere else……on and on and on…….what has he done elsewhere? League D MVP!!
May 17th, 2011 at 8:27 pm
just like he did in college…did Nnamdi ever do it? anywhere but in Oakland where he gets one side of the field…regardless of what side the #1 receiver goes to?
May 17th, 2011 at 8:27 pm
Oh I forgot and a SB ring……
May 17th, 2011 at 8:31 pm
He played safety in college and tell me exactly what does that have to do with the price eggs? Lester Hayes was a LB in college one of the best corner to ever play.
You guys forget Mike Haynes went long stretches without a pick for the very same reason, man 2 man. He’s in the HOF where Nnamdi almost for certain will be as will Charles Woodson who when he was here didn’t get many int’s, man 2 man.
May 17th, 2011 at 8:32 pm
We love you Nnamdi!!!
May 17th, 2011 at 8:32 pm
IF YOU WANNA SEE NNAMDI RAISE A LOMBARDI TROPHY FOR ANOTHER TEAM LET HIM WALK OUT THE DOOR. THERE WAS A DAY WHEN THE RAIDERS WOULD NEVER ALLOW ONE OF THEIR “GREAT” PLAYERS GET OUT OF THE BUILDING (LET ALONE FOR NOTHING IN RETURN).
THIS WILL BE CHARLES WOODSON ALL OVER AGAIN! AND I HOPE THAT WAS AS PAINFUL FOR YOU AS IT WAS FOR ME.
AND FYI….STANFORD ROUTT SUCKS IN RUN SUPPORT. MAKE ALL THE COVERAGE COMPARISONS YOU WANT TO REVIS BUT NNAMDI IS IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN PRESSING AGAINST SWEEPS. TELL ME THE LAST TIME YOU SAW HIM MISS A TACKLE?
PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS!
MR DAVIS, WE NEED NNAMDI IN 2011

It’s silly this article. Tell who takes on the Draft when you know the result! Ridiculous!
May 17th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
Deangelo hall is a damn good corner but he is no where near the man on man perfectionist that Aso is… Hall could not play in our scheme it takes a very consistent corner to play for us…. Woodoson was inconsistent and got burned alot, just like Hall but as soon as they went to 3-4 defenses who disguise their coverages in their zone schemes it allowed room for error and they flourished…. With us it’s all about lining up in front of ur man an thuggng it out mano y mano…. Routt is developing into the type of corner that we can rely on…. We may have never in our franchises history developed a qb but as far as corners go we are the breeding grounds for man on man bump and run studs…. Aso will stay as long as Al pays him top dollar….it just bothers me a bit to know he didn’t get a pick or eclipse the 50 tackle mark or get a sack… How can we pay big bread with no production ? And that’s where Al is at a crossroad with Aso….
May 17th, 2011 at 8:41 pm
The guy who wrote that article sounds like he’s upset Nnamdi gave the Texans the finger!!
May 17th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
14 games…17 tackles…0 forced fumbles…0 INT’s…6 passes defensed…not often against the #1 WR.
Not worth 16 million dollars to me.
Get an 8 million dollar CB and 8 million more for a NT and LB…or OL.
May 17th, 2011 at 8:46 pm
oh yeah…and 0 sacks.

May 17th, 2011 at 8:52 pm
Guys can we pleaase get a clue when you play amn defense it precludes from being as active in the overall defense. The theory for man defense is to use as few players as possible in coverage and allow the front7 to do the tackling and playmaking. What you wnat to do is take their primary playmaker out of the offense and use the rest of the defense to stop the run and sack the QB. how can you blitz when you’re covering Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss, Terrel Owens and etc;.
It’s very simply defense where offenses have a hard time creating gimmicks.
May 17th, 2011 at 8:56 pm
loved Nnamdi but we can’t afford him after the stupid Stanford Routt money. Gonna be sick when I see Nnamdi follow the other team’s number 1 and excel in other places like CWood. SMH.
May 17th, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Nnamdi plays a side of the field…not a designated receiver.
How much field or play-awareness does it take to realize it’s a running play and get in there and help?
If they ignore you…CHEAT! That’s what guys like Polamalu, Reed and other PLAY-makers do.
May 17th, 2011 at 8:58 pm
The Raiders are a 1 Bil franchise or close to it. Anytime you pay someone $15 mil and the other team promises not to throw to one side of the field is more than worth it and cheap in the grand scheme of things. We just didnt have another good corner to match up with Nnamdi nor enough talents on both sides of the ball to help us win. How many probowlers did we have on offense and D the last 7 years?
May 17th, 2011 at 9:01 pm
if Nnamdi makes better numbers on another team, will have mocked us.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:03 pm
My only knock on Nnamdi is he doesn’t take enough chances now if you knock him for that I have to agree. But to go to stats alone I’m sorry He’s doing exactly what the coaches are asking him to do. There is no way you can knock a player for that.
Nnamdi’s money has nothing to do with Routt Big Al has already stated he aint paying $16 Mill regardless of circumstances so even if Routt didn’t get it someone else would. He’s not going to pay one player that kind of money unless it’s a franchise QB………….period
May 17th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
If Nnamdi would take $11.5 he’ll be a Raider simple as that…
May 17th, 2011 at 9:07 pm
sorry but would your rather have Nnamdi vs Routt/Hirem? Routt and Hirem money this year could easily pay for Nnamdi. I’d take Nnamdi in a heart beat. A healthy Routt got smoked over and over again against Miami. Nnamdi was hurt in that game but Routt got smoked by those crossing routes time and again. Routt is a one trick pony. Put him on the outside and ask him to defend against the bomb. That’s about the only thing he is good for.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:18 pm
I’m not sure I agree with that assessment of Routt I’ve seen him shut down Bowe and saw him cover Mlacolm Floyd pretty good. Routt is underrated in here but the coaches I think know the difference. Listen They watch more film than we do and they mad ethe decision for a reason whether we agree or hate it. Routt is a very solid cover corner I’m watching the kid cover Floyd as we speak.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:19 pm
Man I love Mike Mitchell he’s a bit highstrung but he plays with a ton of energy.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:21 pm
Who was usually covering Floyd in the game where he got I think 200+ yards? Was it Nnamdi while he was injured?
May 17th, 2011 at 9:23 pm
Nvm, Nnamdi was injured a couple weeks later
May 17th, 2011 at 9:29 pm
I’m not sure it may have been CJ and Routt but Floyd was just awesome in this game they went at Routt several times and he played him a lot better.
Malcolm Floyd is 6′5″ 230 and fast as hell if you get beat there is no shame in it.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:30 pm
I dont ever remember Routt shutting down Bowe. Bowe burnt Routt badly on that last play in Oakland. It was Bowe who dropped a perfect pass that allowed for us to get the ball back or else KC keeps the ball for a first down…game over. I’m sure Routt got the credit for that pass defended but it was Bowe who gifted him that play.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:31 pm
I wish we had Chaz giving them the same thing, but he was coming off an injury. But that is the kind of player he can become.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
Well you didn’t see the last game of the year then when he was man up on him all day.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
It will be judgement time for Routt this year. He will have to be the man and let’s see. Al Davis is the only guy in this league that thinks highly of Routt. I doubt the opposing team will avoid his side of the ball the way they did Nnamdi.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
Dude if you play corner in this league you are going to get beat that is a promise……..no shame in it.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
Bowe got 5 receptions for 68 yards with an avg of 13.6 and long of 19 yds. I wouldnt call that a shut down day by Routt. It was an avg performance by Bowe but our front 7 had a lot to do with killing their QB that day.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:36 pm
Who said Routt was Nnamdi? did anyone say that? I haven’t heard that did you?
May 17th, 2011 at 9:36 pm
Remember, “guru” Bauce Rules Says:
May 17th, 2011 at 6:48 am: Qb isnt subpar nor is the LB unit or DBs….Huff sux and Nnamdi is overrated.

================================================
I’m not saying Nnamdi isn’t an excellent corner.
I’m saying a team needs to consider why he became a free agent.
The fact of the matter is that Nnamdi had ridiculously easy numbers to meet and his contract wouldn’t have voided.
Interceptions were not the only performance gauges in the clause.
Certainly one can understand not meeting the interception criteria if the opportunities aren’t there and no one throws in his direction.
But what about tackles, fumble recoveries, sacks ?
Again, Nnamdi is one of the best cover men. I’d rank only Revis ahead of him in pure cover ability but Nnamdi has better size and length than Revis.
But when considering breaking the bank to sign a player any team would be foolish not to consider his overall impact, and whether that money could be spent more wisely.
One other thing I’d like to mention.
Nnamdi has been treated very very well by Al Davis. It wasn’t too long ago that the entire league was grumbling about Davis overpaying Nnamdi and raising the bar for what corners should be paid.
I realize that the NFL is a business, and Nnamdi isn’t only a player but also a businessman that obviously wants to make as much money as he can.
But I’m also old school and place some value on LOYALTY.
If Mr. Davis wants to retain Nnamdi and offers him a contract that’s competitive with others he receives, than Asomugha owes it to the Raids and their fans to return and be a part of the Raider revitalization.
I’ve yet to hear Nnamdi say that all things being equal he’d like to stay in Oaktown.
That doesn’t sit well with me.
May 17th, 2011 at 9:50 pm
AIG that’s why we have a front7 to terrorize the QB as long as the corners do their jobs it makes it easier on both of them. It’s called team defense.
May 17th, 2011 at 10:02 pm
Don’t recall Routt having a bad game vs Mia. I do recall Henne absolutely abusing W. McFadden that day though.
Routt has all the tools to be a premier corner. Great size and speed.
One thing he’s lacked thus far is ball awareness. Doesn’t seem to react quickly or get an accurate read on where the ball is going.
Appeared really lost to me against the Colts and was always a step behind his man. Manning seemed to be audibling and picking on Routt all day.
Not sure Routt is up to the task mentally and is always fully aware of what his responsibilities are or what an opposing team is likely to run.
But the physical tools are there and I’d consider him an above average corner already, that could really blossom.
May 17th, 2011 at 10:09 pm
He played brilliant in Week 9 against the Chiefs to take the division lead while holding Dwayne Bowe to 3 catches for 24 yards and also did the same in Week 17 while also adding a INT for TD en route to capping off an 8-8 season, the best since 2002. He and Nnamdi Asomugha teamed together to form the #1 CB tandem in the NFL surrendering a stingy 38% completion rating and only 4 TD’s given up rivaling the Jets tandem of Revis and Cromartie at 43% and 10 TD’s. Routt himself would finish with 10 lowest Opp QB rating (69%) and the 2nd lowest comp % in the NFL among all corners behind Revis.
May 17th, 2011 at 10:09 pm
The reason nnamdi isnt filing up the stat line is the same reason woodson didn’t fill his up until he reached GB…our ancient D philosophy limits db’s ability to surprise qbs and make plays.

Priesttj tellin the truth about the secondary and defense.
Raiderman, if your issue is Nnamdi’s salary..then I agree with you.
Finally, its the Raiders lack of imagination on defense that results in Nnamdi’s low numbers. Why doesn’t Nnamdi shadow the other teams number 1? Not his choice.
Also, as Priest says, the key point in man 2 man is to use as few players as possible in coverage and let the rest of the team get after it. Having Nnamdi blitz? C’mon!!!! He still has to cover his guy…can’t leave him wide open…also, the Raiders are not much of a blitz team with the LBs…let alone safeties and cornerbacks.
You guys sit here and pretend the other teams, GMs etc are stupid. Nnamdi is the #1 rated free agent and he will be offered a substantial contract. There is a very clear reason for this.

May 17th, 2011 at 10:21 pm
I am all for spending money wisely and I also support Al Davis’ shifting money from the secondary to the front 7……dumping Huff and Aso and re-investing in Wimbley, Seymour, Kelly McClain etc…..and putting average guys in the secondary. As long as the Front 7 put pressure on the QB then the QB won’t have time to pass.
The CB better be competent though…and that’s why I said to layoff the kid(s) that take their place. They will struggle and sometimes mightily…..but if the front 7 forces turnovers…it should make things easier.
Also, the Front 7 is responsible for stopping the run…not the secondary!
May 17th, 2011 at 10:35 pm
Did Aso play the final week in KC ?
I realize it was the last week of the season and KC had no real reason to play, and the Raids were loose and playing for .500 – but that was the best defensive game I’ve seen the Raids play in a long time.
They were pressuring the hell out of Cassell, did a really good job of stopping KC’s vaunted run game, and covered well.
Seemed like the Raids were coming from every direction, were always where they were supposed to be, and just flying to the ball.
Don’t want to get sucked into reading too much into one game, especially the finale, but that game gave a glimpse of how good these guys can be and has me believing this defense is alot closer to being dominant than one would think – despite the much talked about low ranking vs. the run.
May 17th, 2011 at 10:43 pm
Raiderman99,
You know better than anyone, with your withering criticism of JC, that one game doesn’t mean much. Full season starters are going to get the in-depth film review to ID and exploit weaknesses.
As for Nnamdi, I am all for him leaving if the price is too high.
I am just not going to be blind to the fact that MOST LIKELY his replacement is going to struggle…especially if its someone with limited starting experience.
Some moves are necessary…but don’t ignore the fact that there most likely will be downside.
May 17th, 2011 at 10:52 pm
Raiderman99 Nnamdi didn’t play and neither did Seymour yet we dominated KC in their house. Des bryant took over for King Richard and went crazy. Jarvis Moss was unblockable. And Lamaar Houston was dominant. Those youngsters went crazy. However Henderson did play very well as did TK. Shonasty was killing them until he got hurt. All the LB’s were everywhere but that secondary led by Routt covered their rec’s like snow.
May 17th, 2011 at 10:54 pm
they wanted to embarrass the raiders and played a bunch of their guys when they didn’t need to and got killed. We shut down the run and blitzed the hell out of Cassell’s made of sand.

How about at the end of 2008 when we knocked TB out of the playoffs? You know, the game where JR retired Jeff Garcia? Nnamdi didn’t play in that game either and we were just fine.
May 17th, 2011 at 11:06 pm
Nnamdi wwsn’t him self for the better part of the second half of the season and there were games when we didn’t need him. That’s why I said earlier if he left we could play well IMO but I don’t agree when people say he’s overrated, the QB’s and WR’s in this league don’t agree either.
But I’ll tell you what DVD makes the prospect of losing Nnamdi less painful. That kids upside in man coverage is bright he could turn out to be very good. He just needs to get stronger and bigger kind of like Routt did.
May 18th, 2011 at 12:26 am
How about at the end of 2008 when we knocked TB out of the playoffs? You know, the game where JR retired Jeff Garcia? Nnamdi didn’t play in that game either and we were just fine.
==================================================
That was a good win, but JaMoron wasn’t responsible.
That game was won by great straight ahead blocking and Bush just steamrolling the Bucs. He was phenomenal in the 4th qtr.
JaMoron is noted for his ‘chill, we got this’ quote that game.
But what I remember most about JaMoron that game was an atrocious interception he threw about 30 yards up the right sideline in the 4th qtr to put the dampers on the Raider comeback that seemed to be coming. The pick was into double coverage and off target.
That was a harbinger of things to come with JaMoron. Honestly, at that point in his career one of the things he had done pretty well was avoid throwing interceptions. He was pretty good at trying to buy time behind a porous line and throwing the ball away if nothing was there.
That pick convinced me JaMoron was never going to be a winner in the NFL. Even though the Raids ultimately won that game, I wasn’t too happy because that interception convinced me JaMoron was going to be a bust.
May 18th, 2011 at 1:02 am
Yeah Bush ran them over for like 200+yds but the Bucs remember had collapsed on D. They phoned that game in after a certain Kiffin pilfered his Pa-pa from Tampa Bay.
May 18th, 2011 at 1:23 am
78. Heres the deal. Russell had talent. He really could’ve been one of the greats and could play game at that level without even trying really.
What a massive waste of talent. With his potential, this guy really could’ve been great.
May 18th, 2011 at 5:15 am
Dont look now but the A’s are in first place!!
May 18th, 2011 at 5:35 am
A lot of love for Nnamdi last night. But if he is going to try and get top dollar, go for the $16 million payday, then it’s time to say goodbye. When we look back on the Nnamdi era, it will not be remembered for any great Raider teams, only the mediocre to bad teams. And it’s not his fault, but was he ever the difference maker? When something ain’t broke you don’t fix it, right. But we are coming up on a decade of futility. The blueprint of this team needs updating.
We have been able to get turn our weakness, the D-Line into one of our strengths. We have an unsettled O-line, and we need the money we are paying Nnamdi for one of the better free agent O-Linemen.
I’ve said this 2 years ago, and I’ll say it again.
Repair the lines…Fix the lines!
We control LOS on both sides of the ball, and we have 75% of the battle won. If Al Davis decided to invest in anything with big money, it should continue to be both sides of the line.
Nnamdi at $12M I’m down with. But at $16M, he’s a luxury.
May 18th, 2011 at 5:52 am
go read ravens boards….they dont like dude and he is tragically slow now
***
BAUCE,
T.J. Housh only started 2 games last year and was active for all 16
only finished with 30 catches for 398 yards & 3 TD’s
He turns 34 years old in September. I’ll still take him as our possession WR over Chaz Schilens. We need a 3rd down chain mover. A big body that isn’t afraid o cross the middle and isn’t made of glass
Houshmandzadeh would be cheap and fits the mold. Plus he’s a West Coast guy (born in Victorville , CA. Played for Barstow HS, Oregon State and the Seahawks in 2009)
I don’t care how slow the Baltimore fans claim that he is. Everybody knows that the Raiders have enough speedy WR’s! 1 or 2 guys who can actually catch the football couldn’t hurt
May 18th, 2011 at 5:57 am
Good Morning Nation!
I think Housh would have been a better option the year that he went to the Seahawks…but, I hink he still got something to offer…like catch the ball!
May 18th, 2011 at 5:57 am
I’ve said this 2 years ago, and I’ll say it again.

you mean the Defensive line?
the O-Line has 4 new starters and Veldheer didn’t take over the starting LT job until Week 7 @ Denver last year
Out of ShoNasty-Kelly-Seymour-Houston, who would you bench?
Seems like a solid unit to me as long as they have some depth behind them. Henderson & Bryant can get it done when RS & TK need a breather imo
Scott & Moss are just situational pass rushers. If ShoNasty or Houston get hurt, that elevates Des Bryant to a starting base end in my eyes
May 18th, 2011 at 5:58 am

Housh wont even be on our radar. He turned us down last year.
May 18th, 2011 at 6:54 am
Housh had his best days in Cincy. We are still to verticle for Housh. He has good hands thoguh, I could see him on New Englands sideline coming in for situational plays schemed for him.
May 18th, 2011 at 6:54 am
I think Al Davis needs to reconsider re-sigining Nnamdi, Bresnahan is back and he knows how to get the best out of a top talent such as Nnamdi.
There was a time when Charles Woodson was under-utilized too, until Breshanahn arrived.
“Charles Woodson might as well get used to it, because this is the way it’s going to be this year.
If the Raiders want him to get more involved in the action on defense — and they do — their opponents, apparently, are only too eager to oblige.
On the first play last night, the Detroit Lions sent wideout Germane Crowell, who last season caught 81 passes for 1,338 yards, deep against Woodson, who ran with him step for step. The pass fell incomplete.
Later, Woodson was used twice as a blitzer, although he was a shade late to the quarterback both times. And, a short time after that, he was very quick coming up to help against the run, twice stopping sweeps by James Stewart with crisp tackles, one of which briefly knocked Stewart out of the game.
Usually, Woodson lined up at his normal left cornerback spot. But he also moved inside three times to cover a receiver in the slot or blitz from there. He won’t necessarily be all over the field, but he’ll cover most of it, and the Raiders want their opponents to have to think about where he will be.
Chuck Bresnahan, the new defensive coordinator, already has unveiled some of those possibilities. Woodson, the left cornerback, rarely lined up against a slot receiver last year and moved to the right side only when he was involved in man-to- man coverage. Now, Bresnahan is liable to line up Woodson anywhere.
“We’re trying to keep a good mix going,” Bresnahan said. “We’re going to continue to challenge him to do some things, hopefully to stimulate him as well as cause some problems for our opponents.”
- Come on Al, bring Nnamdi back, when was the last time we had a 4 time All-Pro in his prime around?.
Who are we saving the money for anyways?.
May 18th, 2011 at 7:02 am
I’m gonna have to agree with you there, Bob!
May 18th, 2011 at 7:13 am
****The whole let Nanamdi go thing is just stupid!!!! Are you all on Crack????*****
I still don’t get why you over pay for garbage and then you have a talneted player like Nnamdi who masters his craft and you don’t want to pay him the big money?
Al, has overpaid free agents no longer with us, Rookie QB like Russell, DHB. Routt for sure. I just don’t see why you overpay a guy like Routt who is decent but not elite or Huff (misses tackles on occasion, 1st decent year). Heck, I would take Nnamdi and rebuild around him.
What other elite teams in this league gives up there best players for nothing?
The deal done last year was just stupid and made no sense what so ever! We did the same thing with the Woodson deal. Even though Woodson was kind of asking for it with off the field BS and getting hurt all the time in his last couple of years.
What is even more crazy is you bring in Nnamdi’s mentor in Rod Woodson who could actually take Nam and the rookie DBs to a new level of intensity and you let him go?
Lastly, because I know some bright guy will say we can use the money and get other free agents. True, but who? What free agent makes our team better then Nnamdi? OK what three? Name them? That is the only argument I have to this point. To think two DBs out of college in the second round are going to come in on day one in a man to man defense Hall could not master and replace Nnamdi is crazy. Heck, we don’t even know what McFadden or Ware can do. They were OK but no where near great.
This blog cracks me up sometime. LMAO!!!!!!! Two times! You all should be going crazy to get Nnamdi back. He is the best and consistant player at his position on the team. Hands down!
Like Richard Seymour or not as the #1 we are still 29th in stopping the rush. Nnamdi has been the consistant bright spot on this $uck @$$ team for the last 5 years easy!!!
I AM FREAKIN FIRED UP!!!!!!!!!
May 18th, 2011 at 7:19 am
D@mn Bob we are on the same page this morning Bro. Nice read!!! You got technical, I got pi$$ed! : )
It is so obvious we need this guy back and I am tripping reading all of these posts of people trying to find reason to justify letting him go.
The way Al throws around money to average talent, I can’t understand why you would not want to pay this guy?
Al, “we can have three players for what we are playing Nnamdi.” True, What three get you the return on your inevestment? And lets be honest when it comes to picking free agents before the Seymour deal we usually pick game changing talent, wrong!!!!!!
May 18th, 2011 at 7:21 am
Heck, lets get rid of DMAC because if he ever makes the probowl and has a 1500 yard rushing, 1000 yard receiving year during a contract year we will have to trade him as well.
God forbid we ever get a QB that performs at the probowl level, I guess he will get a one year deal until his arm goes. LMAO!!!!
May 18th, 2011 at 7:26 am
Bob,
Excellent post. Once again you bring your A-game. The interesting thing to me in that article, is how it describes the creativity of defensive Coordinator Chuck Bresnehan.
When he was finally announced as DC, the mood in here was pretty much doom and gloom. Great. Another AD puppet. A retread. Blah.
Everybody was enamored with the hot commodities off World Champion Green Bay staff. To be honest, I was too. Thought maybe we’d see some creativity from former Raider Winston Moss. Mix in some 3-4 fronts. Maybe a little zone blitz. I was disapointed.
But, then I thought about it and realized Chuck B might not be such a bad consolation prize.
Gruden’s offense gets most of the credit for the success from 2000-03. And rightfully so. But Chuck B. fielded a SB calibre defense also. The last time they were stout vs the run..top 5, he was DC. They pitched a postseason shutout of the Dolphins. Only time that’s ever happened to Miami I believe.
And he was the man who called the blitz that sent C-Wood crashing in on Brady. As that article you quoted points out..figured out creative ways to utilize Charles.
They retained their D-line coach, who’s one of the best in the biz. I think adding his former players Biek and Rod Woodson as assistant coaches should pay dividends as well. Especially Woodson. I’ve seen some footage of him in action coaching and players hang on his every word. He has ultimate credibility and respect amongst players.
They have have some nice puzzle pieces to work with..some exciting young talent. This defense could be pretty damned good.
May 18th, 2011 at 7:28 am
Hopefully,
All our Raiders consitantly play average so Al does not have to pay them big money.
I mean we can’t expect Al to use his big money on Raiders who actually do show consistant talent.
I mean heck we ahve to save the big dollars to over pay in free agency.
Does this way of doing business sound stupid to anyone else but me?
I mean d@mn look at the money Al handed out to Tommy Kelly another average player who just had a decent season.
May 18th, 2011 at 7:32 am
I’ll be sad to see Nnamdi go. Always nice to be able to take pride in a Raider being the best in the game at his position.
That said, I think letting him go is the right decision. I’m sure the negative nancies will bring up Charles Woodson (and maybe even Fabian Washington) and bring this up as the latest example of Al’s inability to keep talent in Oakland or whatever.
But if you talk about the corners who are here and the corners who have left, one thing jumps out: Al knows how to draft a CB. This isn’t ancient history, we’re talking current NFL, great corners drafted and developed by Al Davis: not even the hatiest hater can deny it.
With Routt still on board, a stable of talented youngsters, and Rod Woodson guiding the unit, the secondary will be fine.
May 18th, 2011 at 7:32 am
Buckeyeraider do you live in the Columbus area?
May 18th, 2011 at 7:34 am
CJ…I was also pi**ed when Al said that he can get 3 guys in return for Nnamdi… come on man, zero TD’s his way, and you pay Routt who has never became what he was supposed to be. Well, yeah, he had a better year last year and that incentive deal for #21…kinda hard to get fumbles and int’s when nothing is thrown his way (except for Rivers, mainly) and he is not utilized right! If he walks, I pray that Rod Woodson can bring up the young, fast boys…
May 18th, 2011 at 7:34 am
Yes bring Nnamdi back. Of course it can’t be at $15-16 million, but if he is willing to see this thing through now that we have a little momentum thanks to Jackson’s offense and McFadden, and have dropped the albatross known as the wife beating buffoon, then maybe he can be had for a reasonable number?
No CB is worth that much in a vacuum, but in our situation spending big money on Nnamdi (say a 4 year deal for $50 million) makes sense. He is the prototype player Al is always looking for, so why let him walk in his prime and watch him turn into a HOF player ala Charles Woodson in a system that best utilizes his talents.
Al, you have already spent 4 picks in the last two drafts on CBs….what are you going to do when Routt comes back to earth next year? We’ll see a few more first round picks wasted on you trying to find a replacement for a guy we already had?
No thanks. I’d rather see the money go to Nnamdi and then have those draft pick assets to address other holes in our team.
May 18th, 2011 at 7:35 am
Davy Jones do you really think Routt is a lock down corner?
I don’t argue we can groom a corner we can but it takes time in our defense. You ahve veterans who can’t paly in our scheme.
Woodson was a talented #1 coner and football player, he had it no doubt! It stood out his whole career. He was a can’t miss.
We are close to making the playoffs and you want to gamble our #1 player and DB?

I live in Dublin right outside Columbus. I am thinking about driving to Buffalo NY to see the Raiders play it is about a 5 1/2 hour ride. To bad they don’t play in Cincy this year or Clevland before winter.
May 18th, 2011 at 7:43 am
I watched Checkwa play for OSU most of his career and he was a pretty good corner. He is not a big dude but he played aggressive and had no problem coming up and poping the ball carrier. He put his pads in there.
OSU coaches DBs pretty well. I was real happy with the pick! Oakland did not get enough credit for that pick. The guy is not just another speedster. I had know idea he was even that fast.
May 18th, 2011 at 7:44 am
My bad “Chekwa”
May 18th, 2011 at 7:44 am
you mean the Defensive line?
************
No, as a matter of fact, the DL looks good. Really when was the last time we could say that during an offseason?
The O-line is going through some transistion, both with schemes and experience. Even if they get a good FA OL or two, they will need time to get some cohesion.
And Nnamdi is a great CB, no doubt. But if the team is going to get to the next level, and be a playoff contender, they need to bring along the development of the O-line. This is a particular concern now that Cable is gone, and O-Line was supposedly his baliwick, and even then he failed at it. Nnamdi’s salary demands are an albatross that keep the Raiders from investing in OL like they should. They have been paying OL on the cheap, and it shows.

But if you talk about the corners who are here and the corners who have left, one thing jumps out: Al knows how to draft a CB.
++++++++
Really? Over the past 20 years or so (not including this year’s picks) Al has drafted to following CBs:
W.McFadden
J. Ware
J. Bowie
S. Routt
F. Washington
Nnamdi
P. Buchanon
Keyon Nash
Clifton Black
Woodson
D. Johnson
Torin Dorn
Garry Lewis
Thirteen picks with two guys that are exceptional….both of whom were first rounders (Woodson and Nnamdi). Al doesn’t get credit for the Woodson pick, that was a no-brainer. Al gets high marks for the Nnamdi pick.
The rest of them? Nothing special. Routt has had one decent year in the NFL. Buchanon and Washington are serviceable at best.
Throw in his draft record with safeties and you have to go back to what, Vann McElroy back in 1982 for Al to have hit on a safety?
Makes me really question his ability to draft DBs.

“I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them if that’s what you’re asking. Our so called stealing of this country was just a question of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves…. Look, I’m sure there have been inequalities. If those inequalities are presently affecting any of the Indians now alive, they have a right to a court hearing. But what happened 100 years ago in our country can’t be blamed on us today. I’m quite sure that the concept of a Government-run reservation… seems to be what the socialists are working for now — to have everyone cared for from cradle to grave…. What happened between their forefathers and our forefathers is so far back — right, wrong or indifferent — that I don’t see why we owe them anything.

Really? Over the past 20 years or so (not including this year’s picks) Al has drafted to following CBs:
W.McFadden
J. Ware
J. Bowie
S. Routt
F. Washington
Nnamdi
P. Buchanon
Keyon Nash
Clifton Black
Woodson
D. Johnson
Torin Dorn
Garry Lewis
Thirteen picks with two guys that are exceptional….both of whom were first rounders (Woodson and Nnamdi). Al doesn’t get credit for the Woodson pick, that was a no-brainer. Al gets high marks for the Nnamdi pick.
The rest of them? Nothing special. Routt has had one decent year in the NFL. Buchanon and Washington are serviceable at best.
Throw in his draft record with safeties and you have to go back to what, Vann McElroy back in 1982 for Al to have hit on a safety?
Makes me really question his ability to draft DBs.
==========================================================
I said CB, not safety. On that list, the high picks have hit, as you concede. Routt will have more decent seasons. Phillip Buchanon, while not an A+ pick, has made some big plays in the NFL. Washington is playing well in Baltimore.
And if you want to throw saftey into the equations, what about Tyvon Branch with a late round pick?
I don’t know, I think all of this means that Al should get the benefit of the doubt when drafting corners. One thing you can’t say is that he’s missed badly on one.

Top 10 NFL Helmets. Raiders are #3 behind Steelers and Colts. I think the one thing we all agree upon that is great about being a Raider fan is that our colors and uniforms don’t suck. All these expansion teams got shades of purple and blue and other fairy looking styles.
We continue with our one-eyed patch pirate in kick-azz Silver and Black. There ain’t no room for pantywaste color schemes here. These men mean to hurt and cripple you. These are the Silver and Black.

I would love to see him make the move to free saftey to be freed up and use his brain. Who knows, this could all be part of the plan bringing in Rod Woodson. I also think Huff would make one hell of a third corner.

I was pretty surprised, They were only $129 +$30 service charge on each ticket. Also $15 to ship 4 of them. I never sat in the front row. Last time I went to Buffalo I had good seats, Just not this good. All I need now is for the Raiders to win. Last time I went we were leading in the 4th quarter when good ole Rob Ryan decided to go into prevent mode. Also known as prevent you from winning.

thats because despite going 8-0 in the AFC West last year, we lost games to the Titans, Cards, 49ers, Texans, Dolphins & Jags last year (none of those teams finished the season with a winning record)
In other words, the Raiders lose games that they “SHOULD” win. Usually by shooting ourselves in the foot (ie turnovers, penalites & the occassional big play)

Asomugha is going to land in Washington.
He’ll play opposite DeAngelo (again) and they’ll promptly dispose of McNabb & Haynesworth to make room!
Huff is going to land in Houston.
They’re losing Karl Paymah & Bernard Pollard in the secondary (FA’s) and 6 or 8 other players on that roster under contract should get the knife based upon last season’s performance
Neither of those teams will make the playoffs, but both players will be paid extremely well – Print That!

It could go either way. Some DE/OLB tweeners excel when moved up or down. Wimbley & Dumervil in the AFC West are studs at OLB
Groves is better at WLB than he would be at DE imo. Burgess on the other hand was much better at DE in Oakland than OLB in New England
I’m not ready to declare Mario Williams a bust, especially since he’s a 26-year old 3x Pro Bowler

Oh Wade Phillips is there now isn’t he? Moving Williams to a 3-4 OLB in the 3-4? Man I don’t know about that. It would be the only spot for him. It would be a waste of a great pass rushing talent to move him to the five tech. It worked for Demarcus Ware in Dallas, but he is 2 inches shorter and 30 lbs lighter than Mario Williams.

I think if you google any teams blog that play us this year, they will have the Raiders penciled in with a “W”!
May 18th, 2011 at 10:28 am
Bills fans could’ve said that a few years ago and it would’ve been fairly certain. This is the first year in 8 that we have the same QB and the same OC who’s now the HC. That kind of continuity changes things drastically. We’ve been starting over at that for 7 years or more. I think the defense is better than most think it is. The only thing that worries me is the Oline how soon they can gain some semblance of cohesion. That IMO is the most important factor for an Oline. If they can get that fairly early on they can have a fast start. Both Denver and Buffalo’s defensive lines are Horrible if we can control the game and run we’ll win both games handily.
May 18th, 2011 at 10:29 am
Wade Phillips is an excellent Coordinator, but a terrible Head Coach.
Much like Norv Turner, Weis, Crennel, McDaniels, etc
Even guys like Dom Capers & Dick LeBeau fit into this category!
Hard to imagine Houston’s defense getting WORSE because of him …

I will miss Aso and Huffy if they go, but honestly it’s all about offense in this league. that’s not to say you don’t need a good defense but i would rather be 15th vs run and 15th vs pass than be 1st vs pass and 31st vs run. their contracts ending will give us the money to help the offense and run defense imo.

It’s time for our offense to come out of the shell it’s been in since 2006. Saw signs of it coming around last year, but quite frankly we need our WRs to get in the game!
May 18th, 2011 at 11:28 am
When Miami beat Boston, that was the 500 pound gorilla on their back. Now, the rest is pretty easy. I don’t watch much hoops, but what I have seen lately is that there are no worthy teams left to beat. LA-BOS were the only real tests. They are gone.
May 18th, 2011 at 11:29 am

As much as I respect Nnamdi, AD is right. Unless we can get a home town discount, let him max out elsewhere. He will want $51. mil over 3 yrs and the bidding might go north.

Boston was never the test physically, just mentally. The Celtics are old and beat up. The Bulls are young and not afraid of the Heat. Bulls in 6. Of course I had my Laker’s in 6. lol
May 18th, 2011 at 11:32 am
Sweet Dude! I can’t wait, I hope there is no lockout.

The Great Quake as many are referring to it, is the Earthquake that will strike the earth on May 21 2011 at 6 PM. While the earth will shake and devastation will follow just as with other Earthquakes, this one will not be caused by tectonic plates shifting. The Second Coming of Jesus will literally cause an Earthquake so massive that the destruction will be beyond our wildest nightmares. The Global Earthquake will cause a massive tsunami that will destroy most coastlines worldwide, and throw those not saved by Jesus in the Rapture into anarchy. With the lack of stable government, and a quality of life that humans have become accustomed to, humanity will quickly revert back to instinctual behavior for survival purposes. Looting, rioting, and violence will just be the beginning of the End of Days.

Really? Over the past 20 years or so (not including this year’s picks) Al has drafted to following CBs:
W.McFadden
J. Ware
J. Bowie
S. Routt
F. Washington
Nnamdi
P. Buchanon
Keyon Nash
Clifton Black
Woodson
D. Johnson
Torin Dorn
Garry Lewis
Thirteen picks with two guys that are exceptional….both of whom were first rounders (Woodson and Nnamdi). Al doesn’t get credit for the Woodson pick, that was a no-brainer. Al gets high marks for the Nnamdi pick.
The rest of them? Nothing special. Routt has had one decent year in the NFL. Buchanon and Washington are serviceable at best.
Throw in his draft record with safeties and you have to go back to what, Vann McElroy back in 1982 for Al to have hit on a safety?
Makes me really question his ability to draft DBs.
==========================================================
I said CB, not safety. On that list, the high picks have hit, as you concede. Routt will have more decent seasons. Phillip Buchanon, while not an A+ pick, has made some big plays in the NFL. Washington is playing well in Baltimore.
And if you want to throw saftey into the equations, what about Tyvon Branch with a late round pick?
I don’t know, I think all of this means that Al should get the benefit of the doubt when drafting corners. One thing you can’t say is that he’s missed badly on one.

Anytime you can get a starter with a sixth or seventh round pick, it’s a good pick. And he made some big plays in the Raiders win at San Diego. But Al has whiffed on some safety picks, though the most recent ones- Huff and Mitchell- still have a chance to pan out.

Don’t sleep on Buffalo … they have enough firepower to give our defense fits if we’re not careful

—”SI’s Tony Pauline passes along feeling amongst NFL teams that the Raiders reached for C/G Stefen Wisniewski at the No. 48 overall pick. Writes Pauline, “the Penn State senior would have slid into the fourth frame” had the Raiders not taken him. “The belief amongst most is nepotism was at play.” Wisniewski’s uncle, Steve, is the Raiders’ assistant offensive line coach. Pauline’s belief echoes that of PFW draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki, who insists Wisniewski had an undrafted grade from some teams”—
As I said after the draft… worst draft in many years… reach after reach, after reach…

Just thought it was funny how they blasted the Texans for the proposed defensive adjustments, Raider/Aso history of the failed 3-4 under Ryan and then reports of Aso not wanting to play for Texans. Seemed like they fit together and more than likely Phillips will turn it around.

I doubt they’ll have him in coverage that often unless he’s covering Myers or Barnes in a 2TE set
the Texans will have other LB’s and/or safeties cover the RB or TE imo
Phillips doesn’t run an Al Davis defense that allows an offense to easily move peices around to create mismatches

Whatever source you’re alluding to is spewing propaganda and you’re wasting your time reading it
May 18th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
Wade Phillips is trying to take a 4-3 with a weakness at LB and make it a 3-4.
We tried that and had playes like Brayton and Irons trying to play OLB.
If you don’t think that OCs will find a way to get him matched up in pass coverage then you’re not giving these professional guys enough credit.
Are you suggesting that Williams will only rush the passer? Don’t you think that will limit what the defense can do?

He was a very early 4th round pick….and just because you are starting doesn’t mean the pick was good. See DHB, T. Scott, J. Russell, Stu, etc etc etc.
May 18th, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Well IMO anyone who says Wiz had an undraftable grade must work for the IRS instead of the NFL cause that is the dumbest thing I’ve heard to date.
All you have to do is read 4-5 scouting reports on every player there may be a 1 rnd reach here or there. But undraftable for WIZ????
LMN where do you get this stuff Marvel Magazines??
Taiwan Jones a reach?
How can anyone call DMoore a reach in the 5th unless you’re flat out stupid. I guess we reached for Ausberry as well???? LOL

They laughed when drafted Nnamdi they laughed when we drafted ledter Hayes and Cliff Branch. They also laughed when we drafted Jford said he was a one trick pony the great Mike mayock he may be our brightest young WR. You have to know YOUR team and who fits YOUR team Critics don’t have won and loss records. If they did they’d all be fired by now.

TJ,
I agree. That’s just your typical, garden variety Raider bashing in that SI article. It’s also complete nonsense.
To be honest, I wasn’t even crazy about the Wiz 2.0 pick at the time. I thought there was gonna be enough turnover on the o-line without creating more unnescesarily.
I know I’m in the minority, but I thought Satele had C held down pretty well. I was looking for some road graders to plug in next to him at G.
But to suggest the pick was due to nepotism and a major reach is BS. Undrafed FA. Ridiculous. I don’t think he makes ot to the 4th either. Week class at C.
Wiz was a solid mid 2 early 3rd. Chekwa and Taiwan Jones were actually very good value picks, IMO. Not reaches.
It’s just become very fashionable to bash Raider drafts lately. Critics slam this class as speed and more speed. Typical AD draft. CB’s and WR’s.
Facts be damned. IN FACT, two of the 1st 3 picks were o-lineman. Throw in Big Sey for the 1st rd pick and 3 of the 1st 4 picks were along the LOS.
But people see what they want to see and believe what they want….and to them it’s all about CB’s and WR’s. Speed, speed, speed. It’s almost comical.
May 18th, 2011 at 1:06 pm

Disagree totally. LBJ and Wade played very bad the other night. Watch in a few hours when they step it up
Dirk had an out of this world game and wont come close again to doing it in this series as with the bench players. Westbrook was awful and they couldnt really pull away from them. 112 points! Its only gonna get worse when they go 3 hours north for games 3 and 4

Bulls will win in either 4 or 5.
If Lebron and Bosh had the heart of Dwayne Wade, the Heat would probably go 75-7 during the year and breeze through the playoffs. But they don’t, so they won’t.
LBJ will continue to get pushed around by Deng, and the Heat don’t have the 1’s and 5’s to play with the Bulls.

According to the Board of Governors, the Federal Reserve is independent within government in that “its decisions do not have to be ratified by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branch of government.” However, its authority is derived from the U.S. Congress and is subject to congressional oversight. Additionally, the members of the Board of Governors, including its chairman and vice-chairman, are chosen by the President and confirmed by Congress. The government also exercises some control over the Federal Reserve by appointing and setting the salaries of the system’s highest-level employees. Thus the Federal Reserve has both private and public aspects.[12][13][14][15] The U.S. Government receives all of the system’s annual profits, after a statutory dividend of 6% on member banks’ capital investment is paid, and an account surplus is maintained. In 2010, the Federal Reserve made a profit of $82 billion and transferred $79 billion to the U.S. Treasury.[16]

—”SI’s Tony Pauline passes along feeling amongst NFL teams that the Raiders reached for C/G Stefen Wisniewski at the No. 48 overall pick. Writes Pauline, “the Penn State senior would have slid into the fourth frame” had the Raiders not taken him. “The belief amongst most is nepotism was at play.” Wisniewski’s uncle, Steve, is the Raiders’ assistant offensive line coach. Pauline’s belief echoes that of PFW draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki, who insists Wisniewski had an undrafted grade from some teams”—
As I said after the draft… worst draft in many years… reach after reach, after reach…
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I’ll be very annoyed if this guy sucks. The pick has “legacy” written all over it. When I read that a player is “smart” with a “great motor”, I get very worried. Hope he proves me wrong.

******************************
That is a flat out blatant lie….EO 11110 was for the US to have own ability to make its own currency
Why would JFK get rid of silver certificates when its backed by silver? FED Reserve notes are backed by nada
May 18th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
“To conserve the Treasury’s silver needs, the Silver Purchase Act and related measures were repealed by Congress in 1963 with Public Law 88-36. Following the repeal, only the President could authorize new silver certificate issues, and no longer the Treasury Secretary. The law, signed by Kennedy himself, also permits the Federal Reserve to issue small denomination bills to replace the outgoing silver certificates (prior to the act, the Fed could only issue Federal Reserve Notes in larger denominations). The Treasury’s shrinking silver stock could then be used to mint coins only and not have to back currency. The repeal left only the President with the authority to issue silver certificates, however it did permit him to delegate this authority. E.O. 11,110 does this by transferring the authority from the President to the Treasury
Secretary.2
E.O. 11,110 did not create authority to issue new silver certificates, it only affected who could give the order. The purpose of the order was to facilitate the reduction of certificates in circulation, not to increase them. In October 1964 the Treasury ceased issuing them entirely. The Coinage Act of 1965 (PL 89-81) ended the practice of using silver in most U.S. coins, and in 1968 Congress ended the redeemability of silver certificates (PL 90-29). E.O. 11,110 was never reversed by President Johnson and remained on the books until 1987 when there was a general cleaning-up of executive orders (E.O. 12,608, 9/9/87). However, by this time the remaining legislative authority behind E.O. 11,110 had been repealed by Congress with PL 97-258 in 1982.2
In summary, E.O. 11,110 did not create new authority to issue additional silver certificates. In fact, its intention was to ease the process for their removal so that small denomination Federal Reserve Notes could replace them in accordance with a law Kennedy himself signed. If Kennedy had really sought to reduce Federal Reserve power, then why did he sign a bill that gave the Fed still more power?”

Lefty12 we all bashed that pick when it happened, I wanted Sedrick Ellis many wanted BJ Raji and some wanted Eugene Monroe. I don’t think anyone wanted DHB, however after I saw the film I could see where they were going and that hasn’t changed.
If this kid puts it together and the chance of him doing so is very high he is going to be a beast. Now I know thousands upon thousands disagree I didn’t say it for you to agree. It’s my opinion!!!
Hard work with the kind of talent this kid has rarely fails….he may not gigure it out for another 2 years but when he does he’s going to be hard to deal with.

“I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.”- John Wayne
“I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them if that’s what you’re asking. Our so called stealing of this country was just a question of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves…. Look, I’m sure there have been inequalities. If those inequalities are presently affecting any of the Indians now alive, they have a right to a court hearing. But what happened 100 years ago in our country can’t be blamed on us today. I’m quite sure that the concept of a Government-run reservation… seems to be what the socialists are working for now — to have everyone cared for from cradle to grave…. What happened between their forefathers and our forefathers is so far back — right, wrong or indifferent — that I don’t see why we owe them anything. I don’t know why the government should give them something that it wouldn’t give me.”

Dakota We’ve gone over this many times, Roddy White didn’t take off immediately Dwiane Bowe The big kid in Dallas. The names are endless where they start to deliver in their 3rd and 4th seasons. Even if they play reasonably well in their rookie and sophomore seasons they seem to breakout in their 4th season. It’s because learning the routes and defenses and blitz adjustments take a long time some get some parts early while others will do other parts early but they seem to put it together in their n3rd and 4th seasons. It’s just always been that way with a few exceptions.
Randy Moss is the first WR I’ve ever seen that came in and just ripped the NFL to shreds his rookie year. Other than him I can’t think of another guy even Rice didn’t really take off until his 3rd year. His second year was very good but his 3rd was damn near unbelieveable. I remember telling him that I thought he would be a HOF’r in his 4th season.

Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana’s girlfriend was Judith Exner who was screwing JFK. Jack Ruby AKA Jack Rubenstein worked for him in Chicago and had to leave for Dallas after doing a hit for Giancana.

KK,
You do realize that Bauce just punked you? He got those quotes from John Waynes’ Wikepedia page. Thought you were the King of Wikepedia?
******************************
With relative ease….because all he wants is stuff that is linked. He cant find it the qoutes are true? Too easy to set this guy up. The best one was when he said the NAACP was started by black people……lol that is 2008 classics of KoolKell for ya

Bauce I’m not saying they did I’m just giving examples of players who didn’t develope until their 3rd or 4th year. I think what happens is fans get caught up in stats soo often until they think they is the entire story.
No one wanted DHB but we have him, I’m just saying what he’s going through isn’t some mystery it’s common place. Forget the stats I’m talking about the game itself. They have to digest the game make adjustments and then you see production.
It’s not his fault he got drafted #7 overall it’s his fault if he doesn’t do everything he can to get better. So far I like what I see as far as his committment to the game. His development IMO is amatter of time. I’m not saying you should agree I see what I see you see what you see………………period

One of the many who got that guy off the surface.
Funny thing is history has JFK painted as such a great guy as they do the entire Kennedy clan. All you gotta do is look at Papa Joe and it explains it all. You think Malcolm was lying when he said “chickens coming home to roost”?

Bauce that is true with just about every President this country had ever had. Yeah Joe Kennedy was heavily involved in the mob. Bush senior was involved with attemtted mass murder with the CIA allegedly. You don’t get that kind of experience in bed without sleeping with some hoes.

There are documents that LBJ and Billie Sol Estes (who took the fall for LBJ in a securities scam) were involved in Kennedy’s murder.

How is the Bush family now to be talked about Kell? Are they scum like the K clan? Sure….big whoop. That was never the issue with you and I….stay on topic my old pal.

Mr. Estes, states that Mac Wallace, whom he describes as a “stone killer” with a communist background, recruited Jack Ruby, who in turn recruited Lee Harvey Oswald. Mr. Estes says that Cliff Carter told him that Mac Wallace fired a shot from the grassy knoll in Dallas, which hit JFK from the front during the assassination.
Mr. Estes declares that Cliff Carter told him the day Kennedy was killed, Fidel Castro also was supposed to be assassinated and that Robert Kennedy, awaiting word of Castro’s death, instead received news of his brother’s killing.

George Bush Sr. helped the CIA in the Bay of Pigs fiasco. The lead ship was the Barbara.
