I’m officially awarding the off-season C’mon Man award to Dungver’s D.J. Williams. Not only did his urine come back as non-human(aka synthetic piss) once, but it came back the same the 2nd time around. Oh yeah, and on the 3rd attempt, a worker noticed a container fall from his waist-band. Ey D.J., C’mon Man!!lol

And btw, such an “O” line will be amenable to any back the Raiders may acquire. DMAC worshippers take notice: DMAC is going down on or before game 8 for the season and will never wear a Raider’s uniform again.

DMAC is too injury prone and fragile for Reggie. More importantly the “worshippers” miss the fact DMAC has averaged only 40 yds rushing against first tier, playoff bound teams. Just because he runs right over the lowest of the low, means little in the long run. DMAC has never had a superlative game against a #1 team.

A great player has to be a play maker against the best teams, not only the worst. Plus Mcfadden can’t catch well.

Compare DMAC to Adrian Peterson or or Arian Foster. They are in a much higher category than DMAC because they have run right over the best defenses of the best teams in football.

Sorry, to throw cold water on ya, worshippers, but those are the facts. Anyway, you guys remind of JC worshippers who claim JC was the re-incarnation of Jim Plunkett.

Fiddlesticks !!!

The thing is,,that the Raiders had a good o-line last year, probably better this year.

IMO, no contest. The 2012 O-line will be much stronger. Getting rid of the weak middle, Satele & Carlisle, and replacing them with Wiz 2.0 & Brisel can be nothing but an upgrade. I don’t believe Carlisle will end up starting at OLG. Either Bergstrom, Barksdale, Wang, Hurd or some other newbie will be taking that spot solidifying that O-line as one of the biggest, strongest & most efficient lines in the NFL. They will serve DMac & CP well. Top 5 offense this year.

I agree with you JB. It seems that Reggie has done as much as he possibly can to make the “O” superlative next season. I was surprised he took such action to place the biggest and best youngsters there. He has demonstrated that he wants to cement that line for years to come.

The line may just make the top 5.

Warrior youngsters look good.

Definitely a playoff team.

Could you clarify “attack the backfield”?
