RIP Dr. Death. The most underrated of our great defensive backfield, the Soul Patrol.

Not everyone.Some want to see our young group of players get the playing time and take over this team.Not everyone wants to fill the team with other teams cast-offs.
—————
That’s really not what I said above, though, is it?
One veteran along the offensive line, and adding a FS to a group of safeties who aren’t ideal fits for being “center field” type players. Other than that? Miller, Satele, and either Henderson or Barnes.
Right now there are barely enough offensive linemen on the roster to field a team. Three of them would be starting for the first time in their careers. One of them is 34 and likely a cap casualty.
July 25th, 2011 at 4:16 pm
And calling free agents like Dahl, Clabo, Yanda or Blalock “cast-offs” is laughable.

Nnamdi has said that Al believed in his abilities more than anybody else and credits Al with helping him become who he is today. I think Nnamdi stays and so does Huff. Zach is a great player and i hope we keep him but I dont think we will be hurting without him as much as everybody thinks.
July 25th, 2011 at 4:23 pm
Steve is going to be busier that a one legged man in an azz kickin contest…
Can’t wait to see what AD does this week, you just never know.
Happier than heck that football is back.
Good luck this year NATION.

Looks like Jerry quit at the right time cuz news is flying like a Canadian Goose.
July 25th, 2011 at 4:53 pm
Schefter just said he thinks we may take a flyer on McNabb… could Soup lose his job to Donovan twice in as many years?
July 25th, 2011 at 4:54 pm
Agreed Nnamdi and Huff are more important than Miller. His play dropped off last year. Not talking about running but drops. Maybe Christmas in July and they all stay.
July 25th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Wanted mcnabb last year and think he and Hue would be a good fit. Passion for the game. Don’t think Donovan is playing for the cash at this point. What a slap to shanna-rat that would be.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
Team guys always beat money guys. Taiwan Jones highlights are given me a chubby. Taiwan and Daddy Mac on the field at the same time, shift 5wide spread. Look for the lb’s.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:10 pm
JERRY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
July 25th, 2011 at 5:10 pm
Donovan is to old and mature to put up with shanna-rats BS your gonna be my player I own you shizt. When all you have to do is respect the guy and ask. He’d probably run over Ray Lewis for you.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
After the schit donovan went through last year he is determined to play football at a high level again. I would be happy about this.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:17 pm
Cut Tommie Kelly and pick up Kelly Gregg!!!! Grab Heap if we lose Miller too
July 25th, 2011 at 5:17 pm
Whutch choo talkin bout foooo
I say if Al Davis cant put a winning team on the field this year, then he can sniff my rosy smellin rump, he can suck my wood. I just plain sick and tired of losin, fooo.
He wont see anothah red cent from my pocket, got that fooo
Now come over here and sit on yo mamas’ wooden leg bizz
July 25th, 2011 at 5:20 pm
Orton is on top of my wish list, but Donovan is easily my #2. Besides when Donovan gets hurt and he will. Jason plays great off the bench.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:22 pm
So Raiders might start reporting as early as tomorrow? Im considering going down to HQ and shaking hands as they enter.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:23 pm
Anybady hot on McNabb has to ask themselves one simple question: Is the man mobile enough to scramble when he has to (and that will be a lot) and get of sacks reach and still get the ball down field? Hmmmm?
Now maybe he can manage a good run game, but so can Campbell. JC is our best bet as a quarterback who has to be mobile, and he will have to be mobile, and he can get the ball downfield.
Now if you want McNabb as a #2, OK by me.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Interesting …what is Kelly’s contract. Could he be the cap loss. If Henderson can play enough snaps that fills Gregg’s role. And much cheaper.

You’re crazy. Zach is way more valuable than Huff. Just ask yourself this: is Huff a potential pro-bowler? Cuz Zach basically is a pro-bowler for years to come.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
McNabb has much better deep ball and I’m not so sure Al wasn’t interested last season.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:29 pm
No one said Huff is better than Miller, just that Huff leaves a bigger whole.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:32 pm

##############################################
Al’s done it before……Evans, Brooks, Culpepper.
Older vet’s that never really panned out. But….McNabb is better than the Raiders #2 and 3.
I’ve been hoping for Orton if he takes a back seat to Soup.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:33 pm
Huff, Nnamdi, Miller, bush. You can keep only three. I gotta let Bush go. Better for team IMO. Yes I know Bush is restricted. Just saying.

Is there anybody who wouldn’t like to see Lamar get a few carries this year. Big angry man coming through.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
Why would you want Orton behind JC. Just delaying the inevitable.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:42 pm
I agree that Huff leaves a bigger hole, but the backups behind Huff are more ready to step into the role than the people behind Miller.

No, you don’t let Bush go. Nnamdi and Huff are as good as gone. Bush is a bruiser.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:46 pm
Meyer’s looks pretty good to me.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
Reece and rookie also options.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:48 pm
Really wish Bush would be willing to line up as FB. Team players.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
If Reece can’t block as TE then why is he playing FB.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
Kirk,
At this point I would be happy with any QB at #2 besides Boller. McNabb would be fine with me. I’m sure AL will pick up someone from the bunch.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
Taiwan looks like the real deal, gotta get him on the field. Make you look stupid, runs behind pads and awesome balance.
July 25th, 2011 at 5:55 pm
Reminds me of Chris Johnson.
July 25th, 2011 at 9:12 pm
11. Miller struggled alot in blocking last year but was dinged up with a painful foot tear.
Hard to make him the highest paid TE in the game after a down year but that won’t stop Al if he wants him.
July 25th, 2011 at 11:46 pm
Ahhh football… Thanks Jerry. Keep up the good work, Steve.
When is the supplemental draft?
July 26th, 2011 at 11:58 am
Play Ball Baby!
