Brandon Meyers seems like a solid starter, Palmer has never been a TE passer …. Although Ausberry will be in the roll-out game in the new offense scheme I’m sure. Gordon is a great blocker, to me looks like the kid could play D-line if you ask me.

Dudes I just pulled off a Moonwalk right into the splits without ruffling my pubes!
Our choreography instructor told everyone how amazing this combo is, and we decided to smoke a phat joint in celebration.
Then a few members of 2K4S just kinda wandered off
No worries though, gave me a few seconds to bust more lyrics, this one is for a jam I’m calling “Love is for Winners”, check it

I thought Barksdale was really good last year. Curious to see how well these guys fit in with the ZBS and who doesn’t. Sounds like it’ll be a pure ZBS system like we were running Cable’s first couple of years. Would seem to fit the skills of Wiz, Brisiel and Carlisle.

Randy Raider Redneck Alligator Says:
“It’s not coincidence that the brothers blow their money. You don’t see white athletes going broke because they aren’t bling whores.”
Randy, I am not sure if the above comment is yours, or from KK. However, there are many white athletes who go broke too. Statistics have it that 80% of all professional athletes (of any color) are insolvent or file for bankruptcy within 4 yrs after retiring.
A prime example of a white athlete completely blowing it is Lenny Dykstra.
The problem is that someone who has no experience managing millions of dollars will probably lose it. Statistics also demonstration that 90% of all multimillion dollar lotto winners are insolvent or bankrupt once the payments cease.
Of course black athletes come cuturally unprepared to manage tens of millions of dollars; less prepared than that of white athletes considering: lack of education; lack of language ability, lowered reading and writing skills.
Such factors make black athletes sitting ducks for predators.

Tulsa’s serial murders: A hate-crime spree?
Two white men are charged in the shooting deaths of three black people in Oklahoma — and hours before the crimes, one suspect posted racial epithets on Facebook
Early Sunday morning, police and FBI agents arrested two white men in connection with an early Friday shooting rampage that left three black people dead and two others wounded in a series of four attacks in Tulsa, Okla. Law enforcement officials accuse Jake England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32, of carrying out the shooting spree in Tulsa’s predominantly black north side, and on Monday, the pair were formally charged, with bond set at more than $9 million each. England’s Facebook account offers a possible motive for the murders: Revenge for the shooting death of his father, Carl England, two years ago, allegedly by a black man. “It is way too early to call this a hate crime,” FBI agent James Finch cautioned on Sunday, though some local officials are less hesitant. What happened in Tulsa, and what are the chances that race was the motive? Here’s what you should know:
What exactly happened?
Around 1 a.m. on Friday, a gunman shot Dannaer Fields, 49, who later died in the hospital; three minutes later, two more black people were shot and wounded. Over the next two hours, Bobby Clark, 54, and William Allen, 31, were gunned down. All the victims were walking through the neighborhood, and some witnesses say men matching England and Watts’ description stopped to ask directions, then shot the respondents in the back as they walked away.
SEE MORE: The ’stunning’ LulzSec hacker bust: A concise guide
How did police catch England and Watts?
On Saturday, the Tulsa Police Department, Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office, FBI, and U.S. Marshals Service formed a task force called Operation Random Shooter, then pleaded for clues from the community. One of the surviving victims said a white gunman was driving a white truck, and tipsters fingered England, saying he was trying to burn the truck. Police found a burned-out white pickup registered to England on Saturday night, obtained warrants, and arrested England and Watts around 2 a.m. Sunday in a trailer four miles from the house they shared, apparently as roommates. Police also found a gun they believe was used in the shooting, but didn’t say which of the men is suspected of pulling the trigger.

Tommy Kelly had a career-high 7.5 sacks last season.
He’s also turning 32 this season.
Keep him at an exorbant salary for two more seasons?
Or trade him while he has some value?
I’m thinking Reggie drafts a DT with the hopes of replacing/trading/cutting Kelly asap, perhaps next off-season.
Kelly and Seymour will both be gone soon.

Seymour did play pretty good till he hurt that knee ..
April 9th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
The same reseaons you all point out to trade Kelly are the same reasons it won’t work and why nobody would trade for him.
You retain Kelly/Seymour for this year until the Bryant/Houston/Toffelson rotation in the new sheme suggests otherwise. Right now, no reason to trade Kelly, himself and Seymour will be used in a better shceme. The LB play should be elevated in the run game and pass rush and that will help the interior out.

April 9th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Alex,
TK isn’t a defensive end. 7.5 sacks was probably tops or close to it among DTs in the NFL last year. Plus his salary is actually reasonable at this point. Think he’s due about 6 mil. Really not a bad contract. If it were early in free agency, before teams spend their cap space, and TK was a free agent I bet he’d get a deal averaging about $8 mil per. And a ton of teams would be lined up for his services.
April 9th, 2012 at 5:30 pm
Raiders paradise,
TK leads the NFL in sacks by a DT over the last two seasons. You really think no one would be interested in a guy like that in today’s NFL?
April 9th, 2012 at 5:35 pm
Kelly has a half sack more than Suh since 2010. Most by a DT in the NFL over that span.
April 9th, 2012 at 5:37 pm
I say trade Kelly while he still has some value
April 9th, 2012 at 5:38 pm
RaiderinParadise,
You’re right about McClain. Sadly, I’d be surprised if he’s salvageable. Saw the same things on tape from him in college. Guy does a lot of jogging and has since his days at Bama. No hustle in his game.

McClain critics and this jogging around business is ridiculous propoganda.
The guy is not fast, and is a pretty big guy. Was one of the first things said about him when he was drafted.

April 9th, 2012 at 6:07 pm
The LB “unit” has been bad.
When Groves and Mitchell are your options for a 3rd LB, the stats for that “unit” aren’t going to look too good.
And we’ve been told time and time again that the Al Davis thought process was to have his DTs penetrate gaps. OGs and Cs really only had to block 1 LB, and there were natural lanes more than there should have been.
We also know that secondary (the last line of defense – Coach Allen) gave little to no support in the run game which turned 10 yd runs into 40+ yd runs.
Defense is in good hands folks.

How many big runs were to the edge?
How many big runs were against our Big Nickel defense?
CMon, Duck!

Nevermind that McClain had 10 tackles and 3 passes defended in the Buffalo game, the McClain critics want to talk about him not catching a Pro Bowl bound back from behind 30 yds down the field. No, he didn’t miss the tackle that led to him getting a 30 yd run, the issue was him not running a guy down from behind. SMH!
April 9th, 2012 at 6:20 pm
99,
We agree on the Staffor whiff.
But you do realize he had 9 tackles and a sack in that game?
Dude CLEARLY showed up the last 3 games of the season when the season was on the line. 10, 8, and 9 tackles respectively.
McClain wasn’t the one getting toasted by Floyd that last game of the season.
April 9th, 2012 at 6:24 pm
McClain will be good. He was the youngest player on the D last year(22) His off the field issues are the only concern I have, but I think Tarver & Co. can set em straight.
I hear talk about Kelly…how long will he be a Raider? To me..his contract is still outta wack
April 9th, 2012 at 6:25 pm
McClain also blew the coverage that gave Buffalo the game-winning TD on 4th down. MLB can’t make mistakes like that. MLB is supposed to be the mental and emotional leader of your defense.
April 9th, 2012 at 6:26 pm
Seymour, 2 years isn’t “soon” for you?
I agree that’s all we have left in Kelly, two years tops.
So just agreeing that it’s at least TEMPTING to trade him at his peak value before he hits his career downslide.
Also, don’t compare Kelly to a FAT run-clogging DT. Of course those guys can play into their mid 30s. They just need to eat up blocks.
April 9th, 2012 at 6:28 pm
Due to all our 3-technique DTs, one of them should be traded.
Swap in Houston for Kelly and you won’t notice a difference this season…other than about $5.5 million and 8 years of age-difference.
April 9th, 2012 at 6:29 pm

No he didn’t.
CJ37 did. He peeled off his man and covered the RB swinging out of the backfield. It was so unexplainable when you watched it unfold. McClain and CJ37 both end up on the RB and a WR is left uncovered. Since when do our corners drop coverage on a WR to cover a RB out of the backfield?

I said “at least 2-3 years” with Kelly and Seymour. Meaning they could both be here 3-5 years easily. Seymour is a few years older than Kelly. Both of them are extremely productive, and seemingly will be for the next 2-3 years at least, barring injury.
April 9th, 2012 at 6:33 pm
One of the things none of you talk about is how bad the run defense is by the corners. Nnamdi was actually a good run defender here. Routt and Johnson weren’t.

Why not use what we have but ask them to do something more than just penetrate gaps?
We can see from Allen’s history that he is going to have the LBs in position to make impact plays. So that is going to have to mean a different role for the Dline, wouldn’t you say?
April 9th, 2012 at 6:41 pm

Hue and the Raiders never said whose fault on that play, but I believe it was RoMac and Cork said that was absolutely the case.

April 9th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Chris,
Well if you watch the play 10 times like I did on the DVR rewind, you will see the WR come in motion with CJ37 going with him. They are in man to man coverage. At the snap of the ball, the RB is swinging out of the backfield to the side where the WR is motioning from. Clearly the play is set up to get McClain chasing the RB. McClain is making a B line to the sidelines trying to get over there to cover the RB.
The WR caught the TD. AL Davis was still alive. Are you suggesting McClain blew some type of zone coverage instead of Al’s man to man?

===========================================
It’s what he played in college. Al and Marshall decided to put him at DE.
April 9th, 2012 at 6:57 pm
Houston played DT at Texas beginning his junior year. He rotated in at DT in Oakland on some passing downs. Motor, strength, explosiveness. 23 years old.
April 9th, 2012 at 6:57 pm
Maybe this will help you guys: out of the top 20 tacklers in the NFL 18 of the 20, 90%, are LB’s. Antoine Bethea the starting FS from the Colts is one of the non linebackers. Tyvon Branch is the other. McClain is down the list, and more importantly, Wimbley isn’t even on the charts.
April 9th, 2012 at 6:59 pm
if we were a legit title contender, then yes, keep Seymour, Kelly, Houston, and D. Bryant.
But we’re not, so get some value for your older veterans while you can, ESPECIALLY when there’s a log-jam at their position.
It’s what the scout’s talking about in that interview. Setting up for long-term success at a position.

No surprise about Wimbley. He laid an egg this last season and I expect him to lay another one in Nashville this year. Dude got paid, and that’s all he cares about.
As for Bethea, that’s not really a good thing when your FS leads his team in tackles. It means everyone’s getting downfield.

EVERYONE who played for Chuck B’s defense gets a pass in most of our books.
It was hideous preparation, hideous teaching, hideous play-calling.

Houston rotated in at DT in some situations when Seymour was injured. High motor, great gap discipline. He should be seeing more time at DT, with a guy who is a more natural edge rusher at LDE in 4-3 looks.
Houston would also be a beast at 3-4 DE.
Such an underrated player. Probably the most talented lineman on the team.
April 9th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
SB,
McClain missed a game, played the Houston game hurt, and had zero tackles on opening night.
And still finished only 10 tackles off your list.
Again, don’t you think McClain will be better with Curry and Wheeler flanking him this year? Curry with a full offseason with us? Wheeler over Groves? A DC that has a plan to put them in positions to make impact plays?

===========================================
Not quite the same thing. Gallery was drafted to be a franchise LT. Starting a young LT prospect at another position (in this case, RT) his first season is a long-accepted practice for preparing a player for the hardest position on the offensive line. For instance, Jonathan Ogden spent his first year or two at LG.
Then when Gallery was moved to LT, he completely failed and was being compared to Tony Mandarich. Moving him to LG was a last-ditch attempt to salvage SOMETHING out of such a high pick.

True, but Gallery started as the LT, was then moved to RT before his rookie season ended, then moved back to LT, and finally moved to LG. Probably should have just put him at LT and let him grow into the position. Plus he had Jackie Slater and Irv Eatman as his position coaches. The only time those two were position coaches ever.
April 9th, 2012 at 7:14 pm
If Dennis Allen can make guys like Joe Mays and Wesley Woodyard look like a legitimate NFL linebackers, I’m sure he can turn McClain into a serviceable player. He might never live up to his draft status (although I won’t write him off entirely) but I’m more than willing to give him a season or two to show what he can do in a real defensive scheme.
April 9th, 2012 at 7:17 pm
The only players in the front seven I really worry about are Curry and Kelly.
If Curry is going to be a WLB, his coverage skills NEED to improve.
If Kelly is going to be the 4-3 1-tech, he needs to be more consistent. Loses 1-on-1 battles and leaves his gap far too often. Makes me nervous. The fact that the Raiders have been eyeing NTs seems to indicate they feel the same way.

Gallery was a horrible LT. The lasting image I’ll have of his tenure there was when Shawne Merriman, albeit a roided up Merriman, basically bull-rushed him and pushed him in the air off his feet for about 7 yards into the QB.

The difference is though that DHB always hustles and plays with heart and by all accounts has worked his tail off since Day 1 to get better.
The biggest knock on McClain is that he often doesn’t go full speed and doesn’t play with much heart. And I saw many signs of that when he was in college as well. Unless he has a major attitude adjustment and suddenly becomes one of the hardest working guys on the team, how is he going to improve?

Would have to look back on the play but I think it was either a zone or a situation where they were to trade off. Don’t see how McClain ever could have made it out fast enough to pick up the back in that spot anyway.
Regardless, this isn’t about a specific play here or there. It’s about an overall tendency to half-azz it. If I go back and watch any game from this season right now I guarantee there are at least a dozen plays where I can find McClain dogging it.

TK is worth at least a 2nd. He is a beast in the middle. lets see what happens with a real D cord. I also give a pass to McClain because of his age and also lack of nfl caliber coaching. I also think the way he runs and his body type make him seem likes he’s “gliding” or moving slowly. But I dont think he is moving slowly I think he is moving fast. He needs to be playing in a 3-4 also. Cant wait to see what T. Branch is going to do this year. I predict HUGE year out of him. The whole D is going to be a surprise to the nfl. just my two cents.

You never know. If McK is as good of a talent evaluator as he is said to be, he can find a true NT type in a deep DLine draft I think.

We need to add a RDE who can get after the QB to plug in behind ShoNasty, and get snaps as a nickel DE. That’s the one hole on the DLine right now, and it’s a big one
^^^^^^^^
McK should resign Moss on a bargain deal to play that role.
April 9th, 2012 at 8:51 pm
J Hill your totally right.
April 9th, 2012 at 8:51 pm
Moss is not the answer.

You just watched the Houston game, right?
Did it seem to you like McClain was half azzing it?

—————————————-
Totally agree.
A speed edge rusher is the biggest hole on this team right now, IMO.
May have to bring back Moss and give him a tightly defined, specific, narrow role.
Not many free agents or rookies in the back half of the draft who you can bank on for that role or who have the kind of upside Moss still has.
I say, sign Moss to a 1-2 year deal. Tell him to go get the QB when he’s in there and not worry about anything else.

Would have to look back on the play but I think it was either a zone or a situation where they were to trade off. Don’t see how McClain ever could have made it out fast enough to pick up the back in that spot anyway.
Regardless, this isn’t about a specific play here or there. It’s about an overall tendency to half-azz it. If I go back and watch any game from this season right now I guarantee there are at least a dozen plays where I can find McClain dogging it.
*************************
I commented more than a number of times while at the games that Romac seemed out of gas or was just plain not giving the play 110% until the whistle blew. As soon as a play gets by him he does not pursue well at all – many times not at all. He really needs to keep playing on ALL plays until the whistle blows.

Seymour, 2 years isn’t “soon” for you?
I agree that’s all we have left in Kelly, two years tops.
====================================
I said “at least 2-3 years” with Kelly and Seymour. Meaning they could both be here 3-5 years easily. Seymour is a few years older than Kelly. Both of them are extremely productive, and seemingly will be for the next 2-3 years at least, barring injury.
>>>
I think they just want two years out of both.
Parella was 33 during our last SB year.
Not many d-linemen last past 34…
Reggie White might be the exception. Bruce Smith? I can’t name too many others…
April 9th, 2012 at 10:48 pm
You’ll never get a Dlineman as good as TK in the 4th…
>>>
Maybe if you drafted 10 of them.
Thats a crazy statement. No way McK is trading Kelly for anything but a late 2nd or above.
Which is why he will remain a Raider.
April 9th, 2012 at 10:59 pm
I’ve been asking all the McClain critics for examples of him dogging it since the season ended and we have all of TWO examples.
>>>>
His problem has been exactly the opposite. He is trying to do TOO much. He can NEVER stay on assignment is what needs to be changed. He either guesses (moronically at times) the wrong gap to shoot, or tries to help out the DT in front of him for some gawdforsaken reason.
If McClain had been dogging, we would have won a few more games, IMO. If he stood there like a statue, the RB would have ran right into him on many of the 40+ yard runs he gave up doing other moronic crap.

You are joking about McClain, right?
“His [McClain] problem has been exactly the opposite. He is trying to do TOO much. He can NEVER stay on assignment is what needs to be changed. He either guesses (moronically at times) the wrong gap to shoot, or tries to help out the DT in front of him for some gawdforsaken reason.”
And furthermore, your comment:
“I’ve been asking all the McClain critics for examples of him dogging it since the season ended and we have all of TWO examples.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Please copy and past the link posted below. There are several dozen examples of McClain’s missed tackles, blown coverage, stiff arm shutdowns, etc. And that is just Part 1. Go on an view Part 2. All occurs last season.
Also, after reviewing the footage myself I can easily see one of McClain’s chief problems: he has a fat and flabby ass, and upper thighs. When he cartwheels through the air as an opponent RB blows by him, then hits the dirt, his ass and upper thighs shake like jelly. That’s pure fat. He should lose about 15 lbs then transform his flabby lower body to pure muscle. Maybe he would have more success, but I doubt it.
One must have drive and intelligence, and he seems to have neither.

Wimbley was twice the player as Romac last year. Missing tackle without the engagement of coming off blocks was his speciality. Never seen him, to this day in the pro level come off a block and make a tackle!! SHOW THE CLIP. I, have seen Wimbley do what I expect Romac to do. Last year Romac had his chances to shine but he was trumped by Phillip Rivers calling him out on the the most meaningful day of his career. He was a total letdown.I JUST DONT THINK ROMAC HAS THAT CAPABIILITY TO DO IT. Yes!!! The it factor. That is the difference between Romac and wimbley in my scouting report. Please report differently if you find it some where noted. I want to be wrong but on this one but I cannot support it any other way for now.

The Raider culture is being changed without changing the Image. Now we have a Image change without the Raider culture. Lets reclaim both. Start with, Let the NFL fan really live through a true live game experience. yes, a fan living through The Black Hole experiences. Every time I come to Oakland I see generous Raider fans treating fans from NFL teams with great respect. Hey, they may give other fans a hard time because their not Raider fans, but that is it. Raider fans need to get credit for that. My Raiders organization is the greatest of all times as far as I am concerned. I give the Raiders my full support. Allow the Raiders to profit from anyone that wants to go to the Raiders stadium to enjoy a game.
April 10th, 2012 at 2:30 am
For those that couldn’t detect or found it convenient not to notice Nnamdi was a top flight run defender.
Early on that was his saving grace; whenever the opposition tried an outside run Nnamdi was there to rebuke their efforts with authority. I remember his second year @ KC he practically dismembered the WR & sent the RB tumbling like he was the second coming of Jack Tatum.
I remember in 2009 many times he was trailing the WR (usually the #1 option) & still made the play with authority.
Nnamdi was hesitant to make the transition from college safety to pro CB. It took three years for the effects to take place. I remember early on he was so frustrated he pined to be moved back to safety. But eventually he saw what Al had seen when Nnamdi was @ Cal Berkeley. . .
I have to think many anti Al types are just so subjective they don’t see the player for what he is worth. They just want to chastise all Al’s late decisions as the rants of an old man grasping for straws.
And this just in; I still maintain if Al had opted for Nnamdi over Rout none of this jibber jabber would be taking place.
Not that I didn’t detect Al making bad decisions or acting like Mr. Wilson (or John McCain) shooing the neighbor kids off his front lawn. The effects of dementia & pain surely took their toll on his day to day decision making. He did resemble Howard Hughes @ the end, up @ all hours, sleeping in the daylight when the rest of the league was conducting business. . .
One of the reasons I became a Raider fan all those years ago was the Raider persona, led by their maverick owner. His rebellious Frank Sinatra style (he did it his way), rebuking the system, taking on (talented) renegades or players others had deemed past their prime, plus the hard hitting throw the bomb approach set the Raiders apart from other teams.
And then there was Al’s penchant for being color blind, setting trends, breaking color/race/creed/sex barriers, looking into the soul of a player instead of going the traditional cookie cutter approach (antidisestablishmentarianism all the way), judging everyone as a human being & eliminating the prejudice that many utilize in their judgmental way. . .
This was the foundation I adopted to formulate my philosophy growing up (with a healthy dose of karma, the Golden rule & self actualization). . .so for those who prefer to just beat Al up over the Marcus Allen scenario (reprehensible to me, to be sure), the projector incident while firing Lane Kiffin (for cause, but I was embrassed for the man), not trying harder to embrace Jon Gruden (he shoulda seen Jon & his minions were taking care of business when Al was ensconsed in court doing his angry man thing & discarded his don’t pay the coach thing, but wresting power from Al wasn’t gonna happen). . .et al. . .
I used to be proud that Al was @ one time undefeated against the NFL in a court of law. But Al was always one of those “I’d rather be right than just” kinda people. One had to realize that. Al was unbending. Perhaps he was a bit too principaled. He had a zest for competition & once he succeeded in a court of law that was just one more arena in which to compete.

Some good reading on last night’s shift. I especially liked the post at 2:30 AM PST. #179 is a nice post describing part of the the Al Davis era was and where it was leading to.
I also think Al Davis’s physical condition had an effect on his running of the team and its business dealings. As his life wound down with all the physical illnesses and I’m sure mental anguish of seeing his glory days behind him, I think it led him to some bitter, regrettable decisions.
I’m glad those days are behind us now, but I appreciate what Al Davis was and the courage he had to do the things lesser men dared to try to do.
RIP Al
April 10th, 2012 at 5:53 am
Those cutups of McClain were very well done.
Although some of the “missed” tackles, still ended up being successful defensive plays. You would like your MLB to make the play himself no doubt, but if he can make the RB move his feet around in the backfield, you will take it.
McClain is going to be awesome this year.
April 10th, 2012 at 5:54 am
Raider fans should be able to relate to Ozzie Guillen. Many of us loved Al Davis for years. He was basically the sports world’s version of Fidel Castro.

RoMac is slow with pads on. I heard he had 4.6 speed, but he seems quite a bit slower with pads. As others have noticed, he seems to ditch his responsibilities too quick and guesses where to be instead of maintaining his focus and waiting for the play to come to him.
Having watched Jackie Chan’s, “Karate Kid” over the weekend, I think about Chuck B and RoMac.
“No bad student, only bad teacher.”
Well said, Jackie!
April 10th, 2012 at 6:15 am
I’m glad we have Palmer. But let me tell you, I was watching every bit of tape I could find on Melvin Ingram the other night and holy crap, this kid is going to be good.
You know who he reminds me a bit of? Lawrence Taylor. Let me make it 100% clear that I’m NOT saying he’ll be LT–there is only one–but just that he has that skillset to roam around everywhere and create havoc. Everyone’s projecting him as a 3-4 OLB, but if I were a GM of a team that ran a 4-3, I’d draft him without hesitation and line him up at weakside linebacker.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel’s Bob McGinn agrees with speculation that Arizona State ILB Vontaze Burfict could go undrafted.
McGinn is one of the league’s most respected and well-connected beat writers, so it’s unlikely he’s simply giving his opinion. Burfict’s offseason has been one prolonged free-fall, and at this point he’ll be lucky to be a seventh-round pick. Name recognition alone may be all that prevents him from going undrafted.
Interesting…was he hat bad?
April 10th, 2012 at 6:38 am
Hwnrdr,
His Combine numbers were worse than some defensive linemen who outweigh him by 50 pounds. And there’s a lot of reports that he completely tanked the interviews, refusing to take any responsibility for his struggles this season.
Before the 6th round, I wouldn’t touch this guy with a 10 foot pole.
April 10th, 2012 at 6:41 am
Not even in the NFL and already not taking blame for his own struggles? Nice…maybe 7th!
April 10th, 2012 at 6:41 am
Vontaze Burfict should be the last pick in the draft
“Mr. Irrelevant”
how cool would that be ?
April 10th, 2012 at 6:45 am
Even before we drafted RoMac and everyone was high on him, posting his youtube reel etc…The thing that really stuck out to me was that 97% of those tackles he made on the reel weren’t true “Solo” tackles, almost every time the ball carrier had someone else draped on him and RoMac finished him off, or the ball carrier had juuuust broken a tackle, was slowed and off balance, and RoMac finished him off. I was never impressed, but thought everyone else knew something that I didn’t. I just assumed that he was going to be a smart player that would always be in the right position to make the play. Man was I wrong..
That whiff on Stafford was absolutely sickening, and an absolute Microcosm of RoMac’s play..90% of the linbackers in the NFL would have knocked the living sh!t out of Bradford on that play, or at LEAST made the game saving, playoff sending tackle…
Disgusting.
April 10th, 2012 at 6:46 am
HL,
Thanks for the video on McClain.
2 seperate issues here.
1) lack of hustle/half azzing it
2) missed tackles
I think your video clearly puts the lack of hustle issue to rest. He was all over the place in you video. Most of the plays were in the passing game and he had his arsse downfield where he was supposed to be.
No question he has room to improve tackling. He makes half those tackles he missed and he’s leading the league in tackles.
The guy is in the correct position in all of your shots. I think the new coaches will take him to the next level.
April 10th, 2012 at 6:46 am

McClain played on a bad wheel most of the year. Dinged it and then dinged it again early on played thru.
Remember? He showed up at camp leaner and “faster”. I have ALWAYS been skeptical when a player shows up to camp “leaner” or many pounds lighter.
Sapp, Sands, McClain…
McClain may or may not be a force this year. I’m sure sitting hbis azz on the sidelines during what wever suspension comes will cool his jets just in time for Daryl Blackstock to lose us the game and as it turns out, a shot at the play offs…

G Amini Silatolu, Mid Western State.

Kinda think Reggie will make a pick before 95.
Somethin tells me we may see some wheeling and dealing b4 and during the draft…
April 10th, 2012 at 7:15 am
Jhill has seen the light !?!?!
————————————————————
We are still FAR from on the same page on 55.
Again, most of those plays on that video were in PASS COVERAGE. I don’t think the new DC and HC are going to ask our LBs to do half the things in pass coverage that they were asked to do last year.
April 10th, 2012 at 7:18 am
Only way Reggie’s wheeling and dealing is if Tommy Kelly or DMC is in play. I don’t see it personally.

wouldn’t surprise me a bit
still don’t think we’re trading away future picks
we’ll trade the 5th and/or 6th and maybe a few players off the roster. perhaps a combination of both
April 10th, 2012 at 7:24 am
GOOD MORNING NATION !!!!
April 10th, 2012 at 7:25 am
Realistically, since the first pick Reggie can trade is in the 5th round, what players are left that are worth stockpiling picks for in the later rounds?
There are rare exceptions, but that 3rd comp pick should be an immediate starter somewhere, the 4th comp pick has a chance to be quality depth with a chance for the future. 5th rounders on up to 7th are crap-shoots that contribute to special teams and reserve roles. The picks are already thin as it is. I hope that Reggie doesn’t thin it out even more.
April 10th, 2012 at 7:31 am
@G123
Every year there are players off NFL rosters that were either starters or key contributors traded from their team to a new team for only a late round pick. It makes you say “WHAT??? why didn’t we give up a pick for that guy?”
no reason to think this year will be any different, other than the fact we’re strapped for cash
However, that could be fixed by restructuring a few contracts: Heyward-Bey, Kelly, Janikowski & Lechler.
then sign Branch long term

I think both are Raiders this season. Kelly could be traded, but I don’t see that he’d bring much more than a 5th. For that, might as well keep him.
I think Reggie would deal DMac if he were blown away by an offer, but other than that, it makes more sense to keep him too. He’s a special talent, even if you only get 12 games a season. He can change those games on 1 play.

No way we get a 1st or a 2nd for him!
Maybe a low 3rd round…?
April 10th, 2012 at 7:41 am
Here’s a list of everyone known to have had a pre-draft visit with the Raiders:
East Carolina offensive tackle Steven Baker
Iowa safety Jordan Bernstine
Houston linebacker Sammy Brown
Beloit receiver Derek Carrier
Alabama defensive tackle Josh Chapman
UCLA running back Derrick Coleman
South Florida defensive end Claude Davis
Slippery Rock receiver Devin Goda
Cal State Fullerton tight end Andre Hardy
Washington State linebacker Alex Hoffman-Ellis
Except for Chapman, all those guys project as 6th round-UDFAs. Guessing Reggie already has a good idea who he wants to draft in the 3rd-5th rounds and is trying to find a few very late round/UDFA gems. Or maybe if someone really impresses him to snap him up with a pick before he gets a chance to sign with another team.
What do y’all think is the liklihood of Reggie trading up to the late 2nd/early 3rd for Chapman?

@ ray
same thing happened with NT Torrell Troup
I wanted us to get that guy in RD6 or later
didn’t the Bills take him in Round 2 or 3 ???
April 10th, 2012 at 7:45 am
I wouldn’t take anything less than a 2nd rounder, maybe a 3rd depending on who’s on the board for TK.
TK had 7.5 sacks, almost double N. Suh. Still effective and his salary is in range of where he should be paid. Not an “outta wack” contract at all. His trade value is higher than some bloggers here think.
I tell you, I think we may need to do this deal to get Chapman. I don’t see him lasting till #95. That’s really why I didn’t vote for Chapman. I wanted to be realistic. He’s gonna be gone early to mid third round.
April 10th, 2012 at 7:48 am

I disagree. Not that I don’t think he’s valuable, I just think he’s more valuable to the Raiders than most other teams, if that makes sense.
Some team with a weak defensive interior like the Panthers might pay a 3rd for him, I will say.
I think TK takes a lot of unfair heat. I hope he’s kept unless someone offers like a 2nd rounder.

SNBPA,
I don’t see where we disagree. To get someone like Chapman who fills an immediate need, we may have to overpay. I love me some TK, but we are pretty deep at the 3-tech already. We may need to bite the bullet and sacrifice TK.
April 10th, 2012 at 7:54 am
Can’t trade from #95, but you can trade a player. That’s Reggie’s only realisitic ammo. I don’t see him trading future draft picks. Hopefully that era is over.
April 10th, 2012 at 7:56 am
Our best rookie last yr was d Moore or wizII? I like Moore especially the fact he was a 5th rndr. And that’s cause that was a hue pick, I really think AD let hue help him in last yrs draft. But you can bet tj and Pryor was all AD.

Guys, I’ve been doing some research into this Sammy Brown cat and I’m liking what I’m reading.
He led all of college footbal in tackles for a loss with 28 and was in the top 5 with 12.5 sacks. He played the last 2 games of the season on a bum ankle and in one of those recorded 3 sacks.
I would not be surprised to see this guy become a Raider…he seems to be the kind of guy Reggie is talking about: a playmaking football player.
April 10th, 2012 at 7:58 am
Chapman would be great, but if we can’t land him @ 95, we should look at Fangupo in the 4th-5th or Nicolas Jean-Baptiste in the 6th-7th!

I like Sammy Brown a lot too. Would be very high on my list @95 if we don’t get Chapman. I have Demario Davis of Ark St a little higher at SLB. Ran a 4.5ish/40 and had a terrific Senior Bowl game. Dude looks like a playmaker who gets pressure on the QB.

If we can’t get Chapman or Ta’amu, then Fangupo would be OK in the 4th, and GREAT in the 5th. He’s kind of the anti-DVD: When he transferred from USC to BYU with one year of eligibility remaining, the coaching staff told him he’d be second or third-string, but his hard work and ability forced the coaches to start him instead.

I would love to get in on the Raiders 95th pick but I don’t do college football much at all. I have to depend on the good judgement of the Raider fans on this one. What I do want to see is a Raider offensive and a Raider defensive lineman make a Probowl. That will show that Raider are making progress in the trenches were it has been lacking for some time now.
April 10th, 2012 at 8:17 am
Would like Chapman at 95 but think he will be gone. Think Brewster will be there and would be a solid pick. I know deafness must be fixed but his allows Lili Wiz to sty a left guard and gives us a quality backup in Cooper. Dude is very good in pass pro. Some analysts have him as one of the top interior line men period.

April 10th, 2012 at 8:22 am
Here’s a guy who would be a steal at # 95.
Frank Alexander out of Oklahoma.
DE 6′4 270.
I saw him play last nite on a replay of OK vs. Baylor and he DOMINATED. He was in RGIII’s face constantly and bringing him down as well. Made tackles behind the line of scrimmage on rb’s too.
He was misdiagnosed with a heart condition at the combine but doctors then cleared him.
This has dropped his stock to being 3rd day pick, but mark my words this guy will be a player.

Walter football is a sham.
They rank the Raiders at # 27 in their “power rankings”..which is fine. Whatever. But…they do it for the wrong reasons.
They say it’s because Raiders made so many changes on defense, bringing in new scheme etc. and…because we have a huge question mark in Carson Palmer. They also cite new coaching staff as a reason we will suck.
Yeah, it’s really gonna hurt when you make changes to the worst defense since the ‘52 Texans. What on earth will we do without the same defense that let teams go on 98 yd. drives for td’s at will?
April 10th, 2012 at 8:32 am

I think the league, also, has just exponentially, just exploded over the last few years. And it’s great already, but it’s always even greater when the Raiders are part of the competition. … They’ve always had such great players. I just think they need some consistency. They need some discipline and consistency. Changing coaches every other year is not a good thing. They need stability. They need to be stable and consistent at the head coach position and quarterback and they need discipline, and I think they’ll be fine.
Doug Williams: Did you play with McKenzie?
Marcus Allen: Yes, I did. No, I didn’t see the general manager in him. (Laughs.) When he was done playing, obviously he had an idea of what he wanted to do. I always was impressed by that guy. I thought he was a student of the game. It wasn’t just X’s and O’s for him. It was much more than that.

Lamount Bryant TE
Invited to the Battle of Florida All-Star game, Morgan State tight end Lamont Bryant has three up coming visits with the Seattle Seahawks, Oakland Raiders and Baltimore Ravens, according to sources. First team All-MEAC, received invite to showcase talents in the ‘Battle of Florida’ all-star game. Bryant led the Bears in yards-per-catch 17.1, total yards receiving 371 and finishing second in receptions with 21 and touchdowns with two. Played quarterback in high school. Morgan excels at getting deep and has the size and speed ratio to be factor in the passing game.

I know i’m liking Alexander out of OK becuz of basically seeing a few highlights, reading up on him, and watching him play one game, but I doubt that anybody here watched every game and every play of the player(s) they hope the Raiders draft.
The way Alexander handled RGiii and dominated Baylor showed me something.
We base our draft opinions on the info we have available and what we’ve actually seen. Other opinions from draft “analysts’ can play into it as well no doubt.
I will say basing our draft opinions on what the “experts” say can be going down the wrong road.

April 10th, 2012 at 9:13 am
Oakland Raiders’ former running back, Napoleon Kaufman, one of the best players in the history of the NFL, likes to visit the team’s Alameda facility and O.co Coliseum as often as he can. On Monday, April 9, he paid a visit and spoke with Jeanette Thompson.
Every time I hear the Kaufman talk about his time with the team and how he still feels about the Silver and Black today, I’m reminded why my favorite number has been 26 for nearly 17 years. Of course, that’s the jersey Kaufman wore during his six seasons in the NFL, never playing for another franchise in his career.
The 38-year-old told Thompson he’s been a Raider fan ever since he was “a little kid” and dreamed of playing for the legendary team. He went on to achieve great success with the Washington Huskies, becoming the team’s all-time rusher leader and finished his four-year college career with 4,401 yards as well as setting numerous records along the way.
I was privileged to have been at one of Kaufman’s stand-out games in Seattle when the Huskies and San Jose State Spartans battled it out on the field back on October 9, 1994. He ran down the field to score a 91-yard touchdown to help take his team to a 34-20 victory. It’s a moment that’s etched in my mind forever and I became an instant fan that day.
Kaufman told Thompson on Monday that he saw Al Davis on the field when he was at the Combine and when he got the call to become a Raider it was “a dream come true.”
I think the Raider Nation was privileged to have such an exceptional man and player on the field, and as fans, we only wish he had stuck around a little longer. He accomplished great things in his short six season career, with one of the highlights being his record setting performance against the Denver Broncos on October 19, 1997. He rushed for 227 yards, carried the ball 28 times and scored a touchdown, in the Raiders’ 28-25 victory over Denver.
Kaufman, always well-spoken and gracious, remarked that he was “surprised that it’s still a record considering all the great running backs that have come through.”
Holding the number one rushing record for a single-game for nearly 15 years now, it doesn’t look like it’ll be broken any time soon, although Raider fans have to hope that our current star running back, Darren McFadden, will come close or surpass that in 2012.
No matter what happens, Kaufman will not be forgotten, and I think that many of us appreciate that he’s stayed in touch with the team and the fans. He joined Twitter in February and has been very active on the site. He told Thompson that it’s been “fun” to connect with Raider fans and that he’s “grateful he only played for one team.”
Kaufman, who is now Pastor Napoleon Kaufman to his Dublin, California congregation, remarked, “Everyone that knows me knows I love my team. I’m a Raider for life.”
I think I can speak for most fans when I say, we’re very proud to have this great former player, who exemplifies the passion of the Raider Nation, on our side.

Honestly, after the first 3 rounds, it becomes difficult to truly separate players and it really comes to down to who does a particular team “like” the best. One team’s 4th rounder is another team’s UDFA.

LBs: Curry and Wheeler have 1 yr contracts, and depth is an issue. We also need a few tweeners to run 3-4.

Duck,
We can still sign rookies after the draft. Notice I used the word add and not draft.
April 10th, 2012 at 9:33 am
I think the Raiders should go 1 defensive tackle, 1 defensive end, 1 C/G type, 1 defensive back, 1 linebacker.
That said, Reggie has declared he’s going BPA regardless of position. So it’s hard to predict just what he’ll do.

Mostly I agree. NT is priority. If by some chance Chapman is there @95, (which I doubt), you pick him and don’t look back. But if/when that plan falls thru, go after the best SLB on the board. I still think we should look to draft another combo guard/C as we have no depth for WizII.

Raiders WLB Aaron Curry’s new contract actually tacked four years onto his old rookie deal, keeping Curry under Oakland’s control through 2016.
The final three seasons are voidable, however, and none of Curry’s $3.5 million due in 2013 is guaranteed. It’s believed the deal will void after two seasons, assuming Curry is still a Raider then. He received a $1.885 million signing bonus and a 2012 base salary of $615,000. Curry should return as a starter in 2012, and he will be back in 2013 if he plays well on the weak side.

Alexander will probably be around later in the draft than #95. But he’d be a good pick in the late 4th or 5th round. Could fill in at LDE, RDE, or OLB.
April 10th, 2012 at 9:44 am
Maybe it’s pessimistic, but the guys that got one-year deals are nothing but stopgaps until Reggie gets “his guys”. They will good necessary additions, but not long term plan types.
April 10th, 2012 at 9:47 am
DE/ OLB Jonathan Massaquoi is another good option at 95, if he is available.

Moss isn’t in the plans. He’s proven he’s a stopgap at best.
You have to pick someone in the 4th or 5th round. Might as well be a versatile player who can fill in at DE and OLB, depending on the situation.
April 10th, 2012 at 9:56 am

April 10th, 2012 at 9:56 am
Massaquoi would have more value as the 4th round compensatory pick. He’s definitely a project guy. Would only be a part-time player in 2012.
April 10th, 2012 at 9:59 am
The only free agent signing that isn’t a stopgap is Bresiel. The rest are wandering into Raider Nation for a short stay, until Reggie get’s his guys. Maybe Moss isn’t one of his guys, but he’s better than a lot of unproven college kids. 2012 is not the year that the roster is solidified.
But 2013 will be interesting. This plan is a 2 yr plan, with emphasis on disposability. Don’t get too attached to the 2012 Raiders.

If the college kids are unproven, how does that make sense? Especially when Moss is proven to be a mediocre player at best – and he’s not even consistently mediocre.
Moss won’t find a team until after the draft because most teams believe it’s better to bring in college kids with potential, whose skills fit what they want to do, than stick with more expensive veterans who haven’t done much, if anything, in their careers.

@G123
if Tyvon Branch doesn’t sign a reasonable contract, he could be on the list of guys playing for somebody else next season. If he plays all season on the tag and plays like I think he will, we wont miss him. Average at best.
I’m sure his agent is asking for Eric Weddle money after we tagged him and tripled his value. We gave him all the leverage. I’m not surprised a long term deal hasn’t been inked, especially if his agent has presented a list to him of what other previously tagged safeties have been signed for. He probably feels like Reggie lowballed him, maybe a bit insulted.

How expensive is Moss anyway? I didn’t see money as an issue since he’s been on the street till now.
Anyway, I hear what you are saying about kids with potential. We need to build up more Reggie “home-grown” talent. I’d rather that be a project than a tweener stopgap with limited ability. As long as Reggie’s down with it, I am too.

Really want TB to sign a deal long term, and all the reports out of his camp seem to be positive. I don’t know about him being insulted. He knows the rules. He’s getting a nice chunk of change no matter what. Reggie will low ball him or let him walk after the year is up. Either way it’s for the best to get back to having a handle on the cap and eliminating the “ghosts” off the roster.

Vet minimum, which is still more than a late-round pick.
Reggie will see if he can find a player he likes in the draft first, and then worry about backup DE/OLB. Even if he can’t find a guy who fits that mold in the draft, I doubt Jarvis Moss would be the first veteran he goes to. Seems like McKenzie isn’t very concerned with retaining role players from the old regime.

In my opinion it is. Not for 3-4 LBs, but it’s for 4-3 OLBs/ WLBs. When you know undersized LBs will get drafted in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, then I think it’s a weak class. Btw, Charlie (ex GM) said the same thing.

Strongly disagree with Casserly on that one. If anything the 3-4 rush LB class is pretty weak because few guys have the look of players who can immediately make the conversion from DE to OLB.
Plenty of ILBs and OLBs in this draft class. The Raiders will definitely have some options if they intend to address that position.
I just don’t think Kendricks will be one of those options. But that has less to do with the strength of the class and more to do with the fact that Kendricks is a really, really good player.

Sure. I wouldn’t mind Jeff Allen at #95 if some of the defensive options are gone. Better than reaching for a defensive player only because he plays defense, when he wouldn’t be ready to contribute right away.
Or, for that matter, if a guy like Lamar Miller falls to #95. Would be a great value pick. But truthfully, with the RB position I don’t see a lot of separation between the 2nd tier guys and the lower tier guys. Richardson, Martin, and Miller are the only RBs I’d go out of my way to draft.
QB is the same in 2012 – not a whole lot of separation between guys like Cousins and guys like Lindley or Foles. Wouldn’t be a great value pick at #95 even if a guy like Weeden was available.

Branch is good versus the run, but our run defense sucks. he’s good versus the pass, but our pass defense sucks.
Given the same opportunity, I think Mike Mitchell could produce the same stats!

So the whole fumblerooskie thing was Huff, ShoNasty then Branch! But on that run back…Branch is friggen fast! Darren Sproles is fast and he ran away from him!!!
April 10th, 2012 at 10:59 am
Mitchell is not long for a Raider uniform. He will make the team this year for depth, but wont see the field much. He is terrible.

At #95, the Raiders just need to go with the best player on the board. Can’t afford to do anything else. They need a guy who can make an impact early.

April 10th, 2012 at 11:03 am
Gdog, 174
You are joking about McClain, right?
“His [McClain] problem has been exactly the opposite. He is trying to do TOO much. He can NEVER stay on assignment is what needs to be changed. He either guesses (moronically at times) the wrong gap to shoot, or tries to help out the DT in front of him for some gawdforsaken reason.”
And furthermore, your comment:
“I’ve been asking all the McClain critics for examples of him dogging it since the season ended and we have all of TWO examples.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Please copy and past the link posted below. There are several dozen examples of McClain’s missed tackles, blown coverage, stiff arm shutdowns, etc. And that is just Part 1. All the McClain’s busted plays occurred last season.
Also, after reviewing the footage myself I can easily see one of McClain’s chief problems, the reason he is slow and for the most part, out of position: he has a fat and flabby ass, and upper thighs. When he cartwheels through the air as an opponent RB blows by him, then hits the dirt, his ass and upper thighs shake like jelly. That’s pure fat. He should lose about 15 lbs then transform his flabby lower body to pure muscle. Maybe he would have more success, but I doubt it.
One must have drive and intelligence, and he seems to have neither.

Strongly disagree with Casserly on that one. If anything the 3-4 rush LB class is pretty weak because few guys have the look of players who can immediately make the conversion from DE to OLB.
Plenty of ILBs and OLBs in this draft class. The Raiders will definitely have some options if they intend to address that position.
I just don’t think Kendricks will be one of those options. But that has less to do with the strength of the class and more to do with the fact that Kendricks is a really, really good player.
^^^^^^^^
IMO, I kind of think there are hidden gems at the conversion areas of the 3-4 hybrid OLB/DE positions.
I think Jonathan Mossaquio is one of those sleepers at the stand up 3-4 OLB spot who can probably also play some SAM OLB in 4-3 looks.

————————————————–
I’ve been saying this for the past 1.5 years. And it’s even worse when you see him in person. The guy is soft. He does not look like a NFL linebacker at all. I would watch him during pregame warmups down on the forts row and SeaBass has more muscle definition than Slowlando.
He needs to desperately hire a trainer this off season because he is jelly. He needs to cut weight. He reminds me of another player but I refuse to speak his name.

Actually that isn’t completely correct. Trainers are the only ones allowed on the field with the players until 4/17, but the coaches were allowed to have meetings and ‘classroom’ time with the team.

RoMac is a better middle or gap blitzer than freakin g trying to cover Megatron downfield in a critical situation.

RaiderRockstar,
I don’t hate ROMAC. It’s just that he was sooooo over-hyped by the organization and Hue (elite performer, future HOF’er, etc.) that it is a bitter pill to swallow he is not even mediocre. If McClain does have talent he was enabled NOT to develop it by the Raiders and Hue.
Notwithstanding that, McClain has a horrible attitude toward the fans, whom he utilized, btw, to gain a huge money contract. Then came the “incident.”
The Raiders are better than McClain. Calling him a “Captain” of the D is ridiculous.
Finally by studying in detail McClain’s “Missed Tackle” video his basic problem is fascinating. He’s fat.
One sees that type of weight on LB’s all the time, buttocks and upper thighs, but it is pure muscle. One thing I noticed is that many opponents duck then pivot out of McClain’s grasp since he has a propensity to attempt to tackle high. Pursuit by other Raiders occurs while McClain trails behind seemingly winded. If and when the opponent is finally tackled, McClain finally shows up on scene, and snaps his head to the right as if saying, “dang, I missed another one.”

April 10th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
Per Tafur:
Raiders scout Jon Kingdon was on Sirius XM NFL Radio last weekend and he credited former Oakland safety and current scout Calvin Branch with uncovering fifth-round steal Denarius Moore. Branch discovered the receivers at the Texas vs. Nation college all-stars game, but apparently couldn’t convince the Raiders to take Moore in the third or fourth round.
Kingdon thought Moore would picked in the third round, but the Raiders were dead set on not drafting a receiver that early. So, they took cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke and tackle Joseph Barksdale in the third round, and two more players (cornerback Chimdi Chekwa and running back Taiwan Jones) in the fourth round before realizing that Moore was still on the draft board.
Kingdon said the Raiders jumped on Moore at that point and that coach Hue Jackson received three or four calls from other head coaches saying that the Raiders had just gotten their guy.
Sounds to me like the Raiders got a little lucky. And that maybe Branch should have more clout from here on out — Oakland should just go ahead and take his guy in the fourth round next time.
Also in the interview, Kingdon said the Raiders are looking for “athletic linemen” for their new zone-blocking scheme and that he thinks Bruce Campbell shouldn’t have been moved from tackle to guard. He thinks the Campbell trade to Carolina is good for both teams, and that the Raiders “really liked” former Panthers running back Mike Goodson a lot coming out of college.

April 10th, 2012 at 12:06 pm
I agree with Kingdon that Calvin Branch deserves some extra clout for “finding” D. Moore. Looking back on the trade to get Barskdale and Taiwan for the #48 pick this year, I think we made a mistake with that trade. It’s too early to tell, but Moore was a homerun by himself that makes up for the mistakes of last year’s draft.

If you were GM of the Oakland Raiders, who would you draft @ #95? Pick a name and do not reply with a position!

@bcz
the Pats could have easily spent that million elsewhere. They obviously think he has something left. whether he’s seen as a cheap starter or an expensive depth player makes no difference imo. They thought enough of him to sign him. If they wanted a bench warmer, they could have just drafted a guy in Round 4 or 5 for half the price, right?

Tea and Crumpets, anyone?
April 10th, 2012 at 12:46 pm
Reason gas prices are high is simple. GREED by the oil companies. They’re charging it because they know so many stupid people in this country will fill up their tanks anyway, because they’re “American, man, and nobody’s gonna tell them they can’t”. It’s a cash grab by the oil companies. Smart Americans are either buying gas efficient vehicles, vehicles not powered by gas, or not driving as much. The idiots? well…
April 10th, 2012 at 12:46 pm
The Bucs were so bad last year at the end of the year that it is hard to pinpoint any failings of one person. When you AVERAGE 31 points allowed over the course of a season (494 points allowed, 45 points more than the second worst team) and you get blown out 10 games in a row to end you have to look at the coaching. Raheem let that team get away from him and they packed in around week 7. A change of scenery could be good for any of those guys. I wouldn’t mind signing Jackson
April 10th, 2012 at 12:46 pm

expensive depth? He got paid $30k more than vet minimum. There are some injury concerns to their interior oline, I am sure they brought gallery in because of his experience.
They brought in Fat Albert and OchoCinco last year… howd that work out? Just cus the pats signed him doesnt make the guy an all star.

April 10th, 2012 at 12:54 pm

*****************
I did, and he would have be WAY more productive here too, ESPECIALLY with Palmer. The fact of Ocho’s season was that by the time he got command of NE’s very complicated offense, there were 5 other guys on the roster that Brady had worked with for years and was comfortable with. I wouldn’t be surprised if 85 is nominated for comeback player of the year up there this year.
I am not mocking the Gallery signing by NE. It was a cheap depth move, its smart ball, and the reason why a bad season in Boston is 11 wins. I am just saying that just because he was signed for vet minimum hardly means that the bust label should be removed from Gallery. He was drafter #2 overall as a franchise left tackle, and he just got signed with his 3rd team in 3 years at guard.
April 10th, 2012 at 12:55 pm
I don’t want to take the bus. Too awkward. Something I’m not used to. Why cant I as an American make the choice to not use my vehicle as much, and save money that way?

If you were GM of the Oakland Raiders, who would you draft @ #95? Pick a name and do not reply with a position!
His response:
That’s a tough one. Personally, I’d probably take Cliff Harris from Oregon, but not sure that’s the smartest pick for McKenzie to make with his first ever choice! Heck, he may actually last until the 5th or 6th round. But I think they’re going to need a playmaker at corner and I don’t think that’s what they have in Bartell & Spencer. How about DeQuan Menzie of Alabama, if he falls?
April 10th, 2012 at 1:08 pm
They do the same crap evey year. Jack the gas prices up then drop it a little higher than it was before. People think oh gas is low again . No. They just pulled a sneaky little price raise.
April 10th, 2012 at 1:08 pm
You’re shadow boxing, O. I’m not some liberal that’s totally against cars. You’re picking a fight that’s not there. I don’t have as much of a problem with gas engines as I do with idiots who overdo it with giant gas guzzlers, then complain when greedy oil companies gouge them. They’re no explanation for that kind of stupidity.
April 10th, 2012 at 1:09 pm

Hybrids are a big scam. Sure, they save you money at the pump (but they cost a lot more than comparable sized vehicles), but no one thinks of the amount of diesel fuel used in the machinery they are using to mine all the metals to create those batterys, or the environmental damage caused by the strip mining for those metals. That is my automobile rant for the day.
April 10th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
Kell, that was a pretty good documentary. I didn’t like the way they kept implying that Hook just keeps making “poor choices”, per se. He’s clearly a drug addict. Until he gets treatment, he’s going to continue to relapse, and commit crimes to get high. They were a little sloppy documenting his story but the part about Powe was excellent. Powe’s is a life story everyone should be inspired by. He really came from nothing.

Not interested. He came off a year long suspension in midseason and had a couple of good games, was by default their starting free safety. But as the team tanked his attitude went to pot. They even extended his deal midseason and paid him some extra money up front only to cut him in the offseason.
Tanard Jackson sucks, is a bad apple/character that Tampa is getting rid of these days.

It’s true that there’s environmental issues with any technology, but the environmental footprint of drilling, processing, delivering fossil fuels and it’s related combustion which directly affects the air, water, and ecological balance is by far a much greater danger than any implications to strip mining for rare earths in China.

Yup. Our 2009 Honda Fit gets 25-26 MPG in the summer and 30 in the winter (with mostly city driving). Therefore, each raise in gas prices affects us a lot less than people who drive big SUVs that get…whatever it is they get.

I’d much rather have Palmer right now. Manning’s too risky medically, and too demanding of the kind of offense he wants.

Interesting take. Do you apply the same logic to all the “irresponsible tools” who took out loans they couldn’t afford in order to buy houses and toys they couldn’t afford?
==========================================
I remember reading in an online forum a few months a post by someone who approves federally-subsidized home loans.
He stated he had just turned down a loan for a single mother GROSSING $2K/month with two kids and a hefty car payment. He was getting all kinds of flack from other people accusing him of “crushing her dreams,” but he believed there was no way on Earth she’d be able to afford a $1K/month house payment, and they’d probably foreclose in 3 or 4 months. What would be the point?

Zimmerman tried to contact the special prosecutor’s office personally. That’s regarded as a no-no. Prosecutors’ take offense to it, they see it as an attempt by a suspect to usurp their authority. Didn’t help his cause. Wonder if he felt he could do it after the sense of entitlement all of his enablers at FoxNews gave him?

Ah, I see, Rockstar, government should only provide assistance in instances YOU deem necessary. That’s how a free Republic works. The government provides for basic needs only. Who defines basic needs? Why, none other than YOU! You just send a list of “basic needs” to Washington periodically, and they hammer out their budget based on YOUR recommendations! Exactly what America’s founding fathers envisioned. Just so you know, there’s a lot of wealthy people out there who think that you should provide for your own parents and grandparents, as they do. So, while you’d view government assistance to the elderly as a basic need, many wealthy people would view you as just another bum sucking off of the system. You know, these wealthy people your politics vehemently defend.

We’d have faced the same economic conditions when Bush was president if he’d regulated the banks as he was supposed to. He allowed the banks to dole out money to people they knew couldn’t pay it back. Sure, that will keep the economy afloat. And since it all ended up being government subsidized, it was SOCIALISM, nonetheless! Bush was not only a failed war time president, he was also a socialist. The End.

G.W. Bush instituted TARP which loaned U.S. and European banks, and private industry nearly a trillion dollars.
G.W. Bush, using duplicity, and following neo-con philosophy, entered us into 2 wars: Iraq, which boosted the power and influence of Iran throughout the region; Afghanistan, which is a pit where we throw our money and reputation.

So much can happen before #95, I don’t think it’s possible to choose just one player who you think will/should be the pick.

Call the Zoo keeper. Monkeys are taking over the blog.
