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
No Suprise if Raiders select Evans
Many in the media, have predicted a for-gone conclusion that the Raiders will target Khalil Mack or Sammy Watkins with the fifth draft pick. Otherwise, the two may consider some of the elite tackles, but will likely trade down the board.

Bridgewater’s fall signifies value of QB class
Draft Day is finally here! As informed fans we have been hearing the same talk over the past few months. Who’s falling, who’s rising, and who faired well at the Pro-day.

Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie did not waste any time on his Friday, and cleared his to-do list by signing two more veteran defensive linemen and running back. I took some time to address a potential Free Agency signing for the Raiders, with Desean Jackson, but the Raiders already brought someone home to the bay-area.… Continue reading A Raiders Fun Friday
Desean Jackson Finally Free
The Philidelphia Eagles released their prominent reciever Desean Jackson after seven years of elite play, which created a silent auction for the newest and best player on the open market. Coincidently, a report from NJ.com said the player had connections with known gang members from Los Angeles, which may or may not have influenced his… Continue reading Desean Jackson Finally Free
The Matt Schaub Situation
Last week, The Oakland Raiders acquired their starting Quarterback, Matt Schaub, from the Houston Texans for a draft-pick in the sixth round. Matt Schaub was once the promising back-up for the Atlanta Falcons in the glory days of the Mike Vick Era. He was then traded to the Texans some seasons ago to become their starter.… Continue reading The Matt Schaub Situation
Pro-Days not Everything
A lot of hype surrounds NFL pro-days. For good reason too, as NFL teams have scouted the top prospects for months, and look forward to an oppurtunity to see them perform live. For QBs especially, Pro-days are a huge deal because many of the top prospects elect not to throw at the combine. Additionally teams… Continue reading Pro-Days not Everything
