Published on: 7th September, 2009
Time for another fun debate. I first read about this on twitter. It appears the Raiders have hit a gold nugget, but gave up a first round pick in 2011 for him. Richard Seymour, who has a tremendous upside, will be 30 this year. A draft pick in 2011 will be a ...Tom Cable and JaMarcus Russell: Both in The Same Boat

As much as the Raiders would like for JaMarcus Russell to come forward and have a great season, there is one man who wants him to win more than anyone else. For Tom Cable, it's job security. Tom, who now has his head buried in books and scanning films to figure out which ...Oakland Raiders and The Quest For 53: Tight Ends

Sometimes teams design the offense to run exclusively around these players or a coach might try a more balances ...Oakland Gets a Wakeup Call…Is It Going To Be Enough?
Published on: 30th August, 2009
From the words around the internet right now you'd think the Raiders just went 0-16. Folks, calm down....it was one game. For that matter, it was a preseason game, which ranks it somewhere with obscure memories of pro-bowls and that American Bowl played in Berlin. This was a game that was set up ...Oakland Raiders and The Quest For 53: The Running Backs

Published on: 25th August, 2009
Sometimes, repeated nature can be good for learning. Oakland, who has been slowly building back after the 2006 crash has been assembling pieces for a team. A draft pick here, a free agent there, sometimes a step back when things don't work right...it's all supposed to lead to progress. For Oakland, it ...The Oakland Raiders, Winning and Losing Is a Catch Away
Published on: 23rd August, 2009
Last night's game could be summed up by saying that winning and losing is decided by inches. For the Raiders, I hope that they remember how close that is. After the Raiders had gained a 14-3 lead, they suddenly came apart, letting the 49ers go ahead 21-14. Charlie Frye, who earlier had ...Oakland and The Test: Preseason Game Against The 49ers
