kpholmes Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 As reported by Adam Scheftner Good choice. He has easily become one of the most dominate cover corners in the AFC in Rob Ryan's system. Hopefully this doesn't turn out like Woodson... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaiderSteve Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Amazing... does Kiffen know about this? Reports out of Oakland claim Mr. T of A-Team fame has been hired as our offensive line coach. Apparently Kiffen was not told of this move and sources close to the situation claim Kiffen doesn't even know how to coach. Al Davis when asked about the current coaching mood stuck close to the A-Team theme and said "I love it when a plan comes together!" Ok. I had way too much time on my hands this morning but wasn't it crazy how many bullets were shot in that show and not 1 person ever got hit! Good move on the Raiders part with Asomugha!

Return Of S&B Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hopefully they draft one of the two top DTs in this draft (Sedrick Ellis or Glenn Dorsey) to shore up that Defensive Line. Or maybe Howie Long's son (Chris Long) I say screw the offense this year, this year they should focus on improving the Defense in the draft...they are still a couple players away from being a consistently good defense.

I agree DT is definitely a position of concern. Tommy Kelly is decent, but they split him out at DE opposite of Burgess too often for him to become dominant at DT. That being said however, there aren't many other positions on D that have blatant holes. 3/4 DBs are set, as well as 2/3 LBs. I'd like to see a WR in the second round, (maybe Desean Jackson will fall... ) And I wouldn't mind McFadden in the first... give the Raiders a chance to get rid of all that dead weight at the RB position.

Return Of S&B Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Big Play Wideout is definitely a need as well. They should probably draft one as well as try to get one through Free Agency. Bernard Berrian, Andre Davis or maybe Devery Henderson. They need somebody to go long...because Porter and Curry are more the possession type receivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my They just drafted the dude from Louisville last year, Michael Bush. You dont think they should at least give him a chance to show what he can do while shoring up the DL?

You dont think they should at least give him a chance to show what he can do while shoring up the DL? I kind of agree with you peep...Fargas showed that almost anyone can run behind the zone-blocking scheme that was brought in....although the Offensive Line wasnt all-madden, it did improve substantially from the year before. I think a Bush / Fargas (if they can resign him) combo would be a pretty decent tandem. Their most pressing need on the offensive side of the ball is Wideouts. Last year they focused on QB, TE, RB and DE in the draft This year they should focus on DT, WR, Strong side LB, and Strong Safety (Huff should move to Free Safety).
