FantasyDream Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 The 1st overall pick in 2007 JaMarcus Russell seems to seem like just another bust in oakland but will thing change this year? The final games of last years regular season 2td each game and only had 8 interceptions on the year. With the addition of Bay and supposedly the sleeper of the year Walker at reciever could this be a break out seaon for the lovable Raider qb? Did i mention the Mcfadden is on his wheels agian,without injury couldnt he help this club win some games? With so many questions to ask about the Raiders organization what will become of the 2009 season court adjourned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasyDream Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I have serious concerns about that OL. Everybody compared Mcfadden to AP just bigger and faster,i have mjd,gore,mcfadden on my team so deff would be a plus for me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Yeah, but they signed Will Franklin. That ought to be worth 1800 yds and 20 TDs passing right there alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 So far reports out about Heyward-Bey are that he's dropping everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 So far reports out about Heyward-Bey are that he's dropping everything. I'm no DHB fan, and do think that drops will be a part of his problems in the bigs, but word out yesterday was that he was doing a very good job of securing passes - something like 16 catches on 20 targets.

FantasyDream Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 That's what I'm saying! That franklin dude is 6-1 240 pounds,had an leg injury last year,it is me or does it seem that the more you look at the raiders the better their team lookS?

Bronco Billy Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) BTW - I agree with the O-line comment. They're loaded with track stars at WR, but in order to utilize their strength you've got to allow them to get off the line and downfield. OAK's O-line hasn't upgraded from last year in any meaningful way, meaning they ought to be running a controlled timing game utilizing short crossing routes - but that goes directly to Russell's weakness. Plus he's got Garcia chomping at the bit to displace him. I think Russell is a bottom 5/6 FF QB when comparing starters in the NFL, meaning he's almost undraftable except in very large or start 2 QB leagues.

peepinmofo Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I think Oakland being a fantasy relevant team is a FantasyDream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily agreeable,What about Mcfadden tho,i have a feeling that he will be doing alot of work this year at rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Can Bey actually catch the ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpholmes Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Can Bey actually catch the ball? No. Which was one of his biggest knocks coming out of college. He'll fit in great though, all the Raider WRs had dropsies last season as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
