The anticipation was mounting. The Raiders fans have read about all this improvement of the offense. We've heard about Darrius Heyward-Bey. Al Davis told us Jason Campbell was the next Jim Plunkett. The concern about the Raiders was the offensive line. Apparently it was apposite day, because nothing was what we expected. DHB got only ...Published on: 10th August, 2010
I've read around three or four articles in the past few weeks telling us Raider fans that we shouldn't get our hopes up. The problem is that those articles don't provide a lot of factual information on why the team will finish poorly this season. They aren't fans of the team, ...Published on: 7th August, 2010
When Al Davis makes a draft pick, he usually looks at this one quality: potential. Al Davis' problems have stemmed from not finding a consistent quarterback, making horrible free agent signings, and changing coaches with too much frequency. Davis is often insulted for his "poor drafting." I don't get it. With exception to 2007's ...Published on: 5th August, 2010
This is a somewhat brief article. I find it very interesting that ESPN sent Mortensen do go to Raiders camp. The thing I'm most looking forward to tomorrow is if Al Davis actually acknowledges (if Davis shows) Mortensen. The Raiders and ESPN have had a long history of not getting along. ...Published on: 1st August, 2010
I want to begin by giving a thank you to Kirk Morrison. He let it all hang out there week after week, and I think Raider Nation appreciated that. However, Morrison was the single biggest problem that plagued the Oakland Raiders run defense. I can assure you that it wasn't Tommy Kelly's problem, ...Published on: 31st July, 2010
The biggest addition by subtraction was the release of JaMarcus Russell. Russell was a cancer to this team. Looking back to the Jets game, it was one of the worst performances by a quarterback I've ever had the misfortune to watch. But enough about Russell. Scouting Report This is Jason Campbell's ...Published on: 28th July, 2010
Hey Raider Nation, if you didn't get to see Tom Cable's press conference, these are the highlights: -Jason Campbell is officially the starter. Bruce Gradkowski is not ready yet. -John Henderson is not a starter...yet. -Cable would like to be the one to slap Henderson pre-game, but not the one to be slapped. -There ...Published on: 22nd July, 2010
This year, there is a newfound optimism in Oakland. This is an effect of the JaMarcus Russell release, and Jason Campbell's arrival. With every team, there are questions. Last year, the big question was about JaMarcus Russell, and whether he was ready to lead the team to the playoffs. Well, we ...Published on: 4th July, 2010
Today, the subject is the Detroit Lions. To everybody who has been following this series, I will be out this next week on vacation. I will resume with the Green Bay Packers next Monday! Biggest Strength: Tight End Since this is the position where the Lions have the most talent (other than ...Published on: 3rd July, 2010
Today, the subject is the Denver Broncos. Biggest Strength: Ryan Clady, left tackle Ryan Clady may just be the best left tackle in the league. Clady is, without a doubt, the Broncos' best player now that Brandon Marshall is gone. Although, one could try to make a case for Elvis Dumervil. For ...
