Oakland Raiders: The State of the Team, Part One (Offense)
Posted: 15th February 2010 by Josh Broudy in NFL
Day-by-day, I will review every facet of the Raiders franchise and grade them with A, B, C, etc.á

Overall Offense
Grade: C-
JaMarcus Russell had, frankly, a wasted season.
It is so frustrating, since he has the necessary tools to be a great quarterback.
What he lacks the most are pocket awareness and mechanics. A right DE literally could be within six inches of him, and he wouldn't notice until he's getting hit. His mechanics ...
So, NBA All-Star Weekend is arguably the most entertaining night of any sport's all-star weekend. Especially Saturday night. I will present the official preview of Saturday night.
Skills Competition
Participants: Brandon Jennings, Steve Nash, Derrick Rose, and Deron Williams
Derrick Rose: He is an excellent passer, dribbler, and takes long strides. The only way he loses is if he has a serious hiccup.
Steve Nash: He has experience in the competition. He competes every ...
Derek Fisher is no longer a weapon for the Lakers. He is more of a nuisance, actually. That's really hard to write down about Derek.
He's a great guy. He is the head of the Players Association. But the fact of the matter is that he doesn't cut it anymore.
He can't shoot consistently at a high percentage. And that is his bread and butter. His shot comes up short time ...
Should Tom Cable be retained? Well, the experts say no, but the final decision will be made by Al William Davis (just kidding on the middle name). Al Davis has a history of firing coaches after a year. Shocking, isn't it?
Well, here are the Pros and Cons for keeping Tom Cable:
Pros
1) He is generally a low profile coach, not counting other incidents that will be addressed shortly.
2) He's not afraid ...
So you bought it. You thought the title was ridiculous just like me. And it was. But can he be in the future? No. You gotta stop falling for it.
Anyway let me get to the point. JaMarcus Russell looked good out there. He was playing well. Until he threw an interception, and lost a fumble. This was the conversation Cable and Russell had when he got back into the huddle.
Tom ...
This article may be a bit insensitive, but so is being forced to look at Al Davis' picture on E-Harmony. Ooooohhhh. Yeah! I said it.
So I've been thinking when Al Davis gives up the team (a.k.a dies), who will be the next owner of the Oakland Raiders? So I've comprised a list of the top candidates:
1) Mark Davis . He's the son of Al Davis. Now I know what you ...
10 Questions for Baltimore Ravens vs. Oakland Raiders Game
Posted: 30th December 2009 by Josh Broudy in NFL
The Ravens-Raiders match up is a big one--for the Ravens. If the Ravens lose, they are likely out of the playoffs. The Raiders faced a similar situation last season, when they eliminated Tampa Bay from playoff contention. 4 of the Raiders 5 wins have come against +.500 teams. Will the Raiders pull of the upset? Well, here are the top 10 things to look for...Begin Slideshow
Tom Cable Vs Randy Hanson
This made headlines throughout the NFL. Apparently Tom Cable got a little frustrated with Hanson at a coaches meeting. Tom Cable then broke Hanson's jaw. I'm not saying whose fault it is. I don't know the facts. However, I just don't think it's fair when a 300+ pound man attacks a guy who's barely 160. It's like when a linebacker picks a fight with a kicker.á

Make no mistake about it: Jay Cutler has top-five QB potential in this league.á
He has a strong arm, and can move around in the pocket.á
But what's one thing that's been holding him back since he arrived in the league with the most overrated QB draft class ever? Hisáhigh level ofáarrogance. He thinks he can make all the the throws. He thinks he is better than he is. Well, he's not. ...
The Raiders have won this award for 7 seasons in a row. Will another team take their throne? All teams have had fight through major adversity this season. Even the best. Look at Brett Favre in Minnesota. Look Bill Bellicheck in New England. How about Peyton Manning and the Colts. Okay, I was just joking about the last one. But only one can be named Team Dysfunction.
