Roger Goodell Please Do Raider-Nation a Favor: Suspend Tom Cable Now

Posted: 13th October 2009 by Ramone Brown in NFL
Ok, we all know what's going to happen: Everyone in the world knows that Tom Cable is guilty and facing jail time for assault and obstruction of justice for lying to the police. Sure, even Roger Goodell knows this. Hanson and his lawyer have been active lately, publicly speaking and telling everyone what happened.á And all Cable has done is lie and deny everything. You've suspended others with less proof against them.á ...

Oakland Raiders: Did Paul Hackett Even Try With JaMarcus Russell?

Posted: 13th October 2009 by Ramone Brown in NFL
JaMarcus Russell is starting his third year in the NFL and second year as a starter, yet, in his third year he seemed to have regressed to the ability of a sloppy rookie. His footwork his ugly as ever. His accuracy is often off and too manyápasses are too high for receivers. His pocket presence is horrible as he often locks on to receivers andálooks unaware of ...

JaMarcus Russell Is Not The Problem In Oakland

Posted: 8th October 2009 by Ramone Brown in NFL
Lately it's become obvious that the Raiders have big problems. Many people are placing that blame sqaurely on the Raiders' big armed QB JaMarcus Russell, but I gotta disagree. I would put that blame elsewhere, mainly on the coaching staff. I've sat back and watched while other fans claim that we have the best passing oriented coaching staff in all of football in Paul Hacket and Ted Tollner.á Some claimáHacket is some ...

Oakland Raiders: The Houstan Texans May Be Just What The Docter Ordered

Posted: 28th September 2009 by Ramone Brown in NFL
After coming off a disappointing performance and a loss to the Denver Broncos the Raiders are struggling especially on the offensive side of the ball. But what better way for a struggling team to come back from a loss. This week the Raiders are playing a team who appears to be struggling more especially defensively. The Houston Texans are giving up a league worst 436.3 yards per game as well as a ...

The AFC West: How Big of a Mess Is It?

Posted: 28th September 2009 by Ramone Brown in NFL
It has now become very apparent that my Raiders have quite a few problems. But I've decided if I'm going to bash my own team I might as well bash the rest of the division. Here's my best shot at bringing down all the teams in the division with my Raiders. So lets start off with my Raiders of course. Aside from the Monday Night opener, the Raiders look horrible. Not only that, but ...
Last season many Raider fans were calling Michael Huff a bust. And this offseason those same fans were calling for him to be cut from the roster. Now, after coming into week three of the season, Huff has three interceptions, a fumble recovery, and a few tackles. A lot of those fans who were calling him a bust seem to have a short memory as they seem to have fallen in ...

Is Darren Sproles the Next LT?… Not Even Close

Posted: 26th September 2009 by Ramone Brown in NFL
With the uncharacteristic recent performance and injuries from LaDainian Tomlinson, as well as his fall from greatness possibly looming, some of the more optimistic Charger fans have actually suggested that Darren Sproles could be the next great running back, or the next LT. Some have even suggested that Darren Sproles, not LaDainian Tomlinson, is the best running back on the team. That is a bit of a knee slapper there. In reality ...
Yes I said it. This year's 49ers squad looks very reminiscent of the 2000 Super-Bowl Champion Ravens. But let me say this I am not making a prediction here. I am not predicting the 49ers to go 12-4 or win the Super Bowl.áAll I'm doing is comparing two teams who seem to have a lot of parallels. Both teams boast dominate defenses and snore-fest offenses that heavily rely on the running game ...

The Oakland Raiders Need To Unleash Darren McFadden

Posted: 25th September 2009 by Ramone Brown in NFL
There is no question that Darren McFadden is a talented back and home run hitter. Some fans have even claimed he should be on the field every offensive play receiving anáobsceneánumber of touches and be the focal point of the offense. I've actually argued otherwise claiming that Michael Bush is the more complete back. But here I am going to propose something else. Why not play Darren McFadden on special teams. With Justin Fargas ...

Tom Cable: Is He the Reason For Russell’s Struggles?

Posted: 23rd September 2009 by Ramone Brown in NFL
Yes, that is right I am calling out Tom Cable not JaMarcus Russell for the struggles in the Raiders passing game. But before you call me a hater know this. I am not questioning his ability as a head coach. He is a good head coach and a great team motivator. His ability as a team motivator is evident in how he turned the team around last year and got the ...
