The Official 2012-13 Oakland Raiders Thread

[Smokin Rider]

I told everybody I won't be excited unless they beat the bucs and get to .500 and sure enough, we play horrible. This franchise needs an overhaul but I just hope we have smart coaches to utilize their potential. Hiring Knapp hasn't gave me hope.

Nation fans have every right to be upset ... 3-5 is not hot in the streets.

but, i dont think you can blame an OC who's getting a career year from a soon to be washed up QB with the WR corp they currently have as well as transitioning to a new blocking scheme

there's an obvious lack of talent on this roster and guess who that is courtesy of? not the current Front Office or Coaching Staff.

with the lack of draft picks and the cap situation reggie inherited, being able to pluck a Miles Burris and getting Tyvon signed to a decent extension is pretty successful imo

I think raiders need to figure out why investing in run defense considerably still hasnt yielded returns. at some point yall might need to try 3-4 or something. start rebuilding that D and then bring the offense along.

what up my dude, hats off to the Giants and the Niners for doing their thing.

The poor run defense stems from Seymour, Kelly and McClain's inconsistent play. It also doesn't help that the Raiders secondary couldn't tackle fish bait. Seymour and Kelly were obviously man crushes of Al's. McClain was an obvious man crush of Hue, but I think he's proven this season that he knows he's going to get jail time for what he did last season. He has all the physical tools but lacks something upstairs.... like common sense lol

McKenzie's got his work cut out for him on defense. Outside of Branch, Burris and maybe Lamar Houston, everybody on that defense should be expendable.

I just still have an uneasiness about DA and Knapp. Palmer is doing and could probably get us to the playoffs if the running game wasn't shyt (which it wasn't a year ago). But I want a replacement soon for Palmer. I like the addition RM and most of the decisions he's done so far but the Defense is absolutely garbage and we do have a lot of bums but our coach was called a "defensive prodigy" or some shyt so he can't give up 250 to a rookie RB.

 

[Supreme]

We need to run more no huddle so Knapp don't have alot of time to fukk shyt up. Will help the run game too cause the D wont be able to make adjustments like that.

mcclain is still promising tho, just terribly inconsistent. one day hell look like willis/bowman out there and then the next week he'll look like garbage

you dont really need speed to be decent as a run-stopping MLB in a 4-3...have to be more quick and agile then fast...imo

He's terrible at getting off blocks and god awful in coverage. I think either way he won't be in a Raider uniform next year.

McClain is going to jail eventually after the legal process runs its course so no need to bother planning for him.

They may go ahead and release him earlier because of this.

Can T-Pryor get some burn. Our playoff hopes are practically dead, might as well start Pryor, Big Al Davis' last draft pick ever.
