The decision not to bench JaMarcus Russell for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles- proved to be a wise one- as Oakland emerged victorious fromáa memorable brawl at McAfee Coliseum. The difference in JaMarcus Russell's progression through his reads was noticeable. Sure, he continued to lock onto his primary receiver and tip off the defense, but his ability to use his check-down back and sense the pass rush provided remarkably different results. The ...

Praise God! The Oakland Raiders have arrived. Thanks to John Marshall and the entire Oakland Raiders defense for a gutsy performance against the highly acclaimed Philadelphia Eagle offense. Thank you JaMarcus, for making good decisions with the football and using your fullback out of the backfield. The noticeable difference in today's game was the attitude, and effort put forth by the entire football team. The Raider defense played as if they had read ...

Frustration, embarrassment, and rage have overcome the faithful fan base of the Oakland Raiders. I have read and written countless articles about what should happen with regard to ownership, general management and coaching. Perhaps, what is needed is a plea to the 53 men chosen to represent our organization for the 2009 season. What does it mean to be an Oakland Raider? It means you should carry yourself with a swagger ...

With the state of the franchise hanging in the balance, the stage has been set for the triumphant return of Jon Gruden. His rhetoric will be missed on Monday Night Football and his face will be welcomed by millions of Raiders who have missed him since the day he left. It isn't a cry for help, or a move out of desperation. It is a seemingly easy commonsense solutionámove that would ...

Dear Mr. Davis, I am writing you on behalf of the Oakland Raider faithful fan base. I am writing to express our frustration and discontent with what our once proud franchise has evolved into. I would like to tell you that we, as fans, appreciate what you have done for the National Football League and for our beloved Oakland Raiders.

áYears ago, Al Davisádecided that the slogan of the franchise was going to be "Commitment to Excellence." It embodied everything that Davis and the Raiders stood for. As a young boy, I was infatuated with the swagger of the Oakland Raiders and consequently began a love affair with a team that has never failed to break my heart. After over 30 years of making excuses for a team that has consistently ...

Well this much is clear: Jamarcus Russell has yet to prove to anyone that he is a viable NFL quarterback. Because of this the Denver Broncos are going to stack 8 men in the box and force Jamarcus to beat them with his arm. As crazy as it sounds, I believe that is exactly what we need to do. Denver has stormed out of the gates and amassed impressive defensive numbers going ...
