That’s cool about Mark Davis at Rickey’s. Not to be mean, but that’s what I like about him as the owner. Al Davis didn’t give a damn about those of us who put money in his pocket and were/are the best fans of any team in any pro sport. The Raiders lost their mystique when Al left for LA. Al lost all my respect for him when he treated Marcus Allen the way he did. That was classy for Marcus to light the torch before the Steelers game. Big men are able to forgive others. Al was not the kind of man I look up to.

The defense is a little better now, and the offense a little worse. We miss Jacoby Ford badly as a return guy. Is Taiwan Jones a bust? I’ve been saying since before we let him go that it was a bad idea to let Michael Bush go. That’s my only complaint with Reggie so far.

Offensive line is the problem, not McFaddy. Palmer was pressured all day against a Carolina D-line that hadn’t done much until the Raider game.

Officials bailed us out, for once – if we don’t get the roughing the passer call on 3rd and ten, or the pass interference call on 4th and ten, we lose.

The O-line was good – better than anyone expected – the last couple of years. Hesitate to chalk it up to coaching, because we lost Satele, and have Mike “where’d he go?” Brisiel at right guard.

McFadden can say he loves the system or whatever he wants, but fact is when he steps on the field you can tell he dont have that same drive and passion he had years past. He was never that bad to be dropping balls and just running nonchalant. Personally i think he dont like the system or dont like one of his coaches he has that “IDGK” about him.

The play boook is so vanilla. Hue had us doing all types of trick plays and reverses and Mcfadden was even throwing the ball. No creativity in this offense. WHY DOESNT KNAPP USE MARCEL REESE. This guy is the X factor on the team.

The problem with McFadden is he goes down from the first hit. He doesn’t break tackles and he doesn’t run hard. He closes his eye and run up the back of his Oline. If there is a hole big enough to drive a truck through he is great. Watch the tapes.

==========================================

You definitely aren’t watching. Mcfadden breaks plenty of tackles and runs people over. He is a monster. New zone blocking scheme doesnt let him do his thing.

I dont see how every doesn’t realize the problem is not mcfadden. The problem is knapp. Look at the offense last season when McFadden was healthy. With Jason Campbell in They were a much better offense than they are now. Cable had to take over the play calling from Knapp the last time he was here. That says all you need to know about who or what the problem is. Hue had us in the right direction. Dennis Allen is just going to be a yes man. Thats what Reggie couldn’t handle from Hue. Reggie knew that Hue was Al’s man and Reggie wanted to change all that. We are still getting penalties and we suck even worse.
