Well atleast his name is not Greg. Today, it was reported that the Oakland Raiders would hire Bill Musgrave as their offensive coordinator. Some fans were underwhelmed by the hire considering they wanted Marc Trestman as the play caller. Trestman would have been a great candidate due to his work with quarterbacks like Rich Gannon,… Continue reading Bill Musgrave as Offensive Coordinator can’t be worse than previous OCs
Raiders got it right with Del Rio
Call it uninventive, or predicted but the Raiders got it right hiring Jack Del Rio. The former Jaguars Head Coach wasn’t much of a candidate for any other coaching jobs but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t the perfect fit for the Raiders. Granted, Interim Head Coach Tony Sparano earned the support of veteran players like… Continue reading Raiders got it right with Del Rio
My First Raider Game
My pilgrimage to the Mecca for Raider Nation was everything I had ever imaged. A place where I can be loud and drunk in favor of my R-A-I-D-E-R-S what else could I ask for? To make things even better, the Raiders got the W over the Buffalo Bills. Here are somethings I noticed on my… Continue reading My First Raider Game
Sparano deserves another shot
Don’t get me wrong, the man is still 2-8 as the Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders but another team should consider adding him. Playing the toughest schedule in the NFL combined with a rookie quarterback and roster filled with post prime veterans, Sparano wasn’t put into a position to succeed. The fact that Sparano… Continue reading Sparano deserves another shot
If you want to win bring Harbaugh in
Bringing Jim Harbaugh in as coach for the Raiders is one of those things that just makes almost too much sense for it to actually happen. Many of us fans have heard the anecdote about Al Davis telling Harbaugh he would one day be a Raider despite the owner not signing him as a player.… Continue reading If you want to win bring Harbaugh in

Cowboys Raiders practice gets chippy
Fortunately I attended today’s practice and got the live effect of Raidernation. Our fans were probably the most spectacular position group on display. Besides regular chants of Raiders, fans cheered for every big play and hit. From my vantage point, defense was my main focus point. The defensive line impressed me with a variety of… Continue reading Cowboys Raiders practice gets chippy
Old Faces New Places
Before the second week of Preseason Football begins, I want to take one last look at some of last years contributors who are no longer on the team. As these guys make roles for themselves, I think it is important to have one last memory of them as Oakland Raiders. I know I tend to… Continue reading Old Faces New Places
Depth Chart Battle Continues
The Raiders unofficial depth chart revealed Matt Schaub having new targets on offense, as well as veterans continuing their hold on the starting line up. Andre Holmes surprised a lot of people in camp by establishing himself as a starting wide receiver. I hope he can continue the progress throughout the preseason, as he will… Continue reading Depth Chart Battle Continues
Defensive Backs creating a Culture
Dennis Allen is most notably connected to the New Orleans Saints Championship Team. What did he coach? Defensive Backs, and it seems like he is finally transferring that knowledge to the silver and black. That Saints team was noted for takeovers in the secondary, but the only thing the Raiders secondary has been noted for… Continue reading Defensive Backs creating a Culture
