When football fans think of the of the number 81, Terrell Owens and Randy Moss come to mind. They are both big, fast, playmaking receivers. I believe there is a new one coming into the picture in 2010. Oakland Raider Chaz Scillens is that guy. Schillens is seventh round steal that has the same attributes ...Published on: 12th July, 2010
Roger Goodell is now negotiating the collective bargaining agreement for 2011 and on. I have an idea for Goodell: It is definitely time to do something about the NFL players' salaries. Jamarcus Russell has clearly shown the NFL that owners shouldn't put that kind of money in a kid's hand right away. Players should put in ...Published on: 12th July, 2010
The Oakland Raiders are known for their reclamation projects. Any time the Raiders are doing well, there are one or more reclamation projects making big contributions. Former first round outside linebacker Kamerion Wimbley is a Raider reclamation project I am very excited about. Wimbley had 11 sacks in his rookie season. From there, his numbers fell to nine sacks in ...Published on: 8th July, 2010

I have heard rumblings to the contrary, but the Raiders are right where they should be with Jason Campbell. Many have said, "Jason Campbell isn't a great quarterback." Last year, Campbell threw for 3,618 yards with 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He completed 64.5 percent of his passes and posted a quarterback rating of 86.4. That doesn't put him in ...Published on: 30th June, 2010
Raider Nation appears to be sleeping on Louis Murphy so far. Most of the talk has been about this offseason and for good reason. "Big" John Henderson, Rolando McClain, and Lamarr Houston are now in Oakland to stop the run. The Raiders now have a legitimate quarterback in Jason Campbell. The offensive line was addressed this offseason. Darren McFadden and ...Published on: 29th June, 2010
The Raiders have another big-play tight end, and Zach Miller is that "Ghost." This is the third ghost to appear in Raider Nation. Todd Christiansen appeared in Raider Nation just a few years after Dave Casper. It was a long time coming this time around. Raider fans have endured tight ends like Rickey Dudley, Teyo Johnson, ...Published on: 28th June, 2010
Has Tyvon Branch become a premier strong safety? A case can be made that Branch has definentely joined the elites. He seems to be all over the field just like Troy Palamalu and Bob Sanders. I know it's hard to believe the Raiders have such a player because of their record, but it's true. Palamalu ...
