Raiders Release Depth Chart

 Oakland Raiders
On Tuesday, the Raiders released their unofficial depth chart and there are no real surprises except maybe the order on running backs. Justin Fargas will be the starting back, with McFadden being #2 and Bush at #3. Though Fargas has been the only 1000 yard rusher for the Raiders, he has never found the endzone easily - scoring only one rushing...
What's the buzz about?

Anyway, disagree that there were no surprises. Terdell Sands was left off it it completely. Jerry Mac commented on this today and wasn't sure if it's intentional or not. Also, seeing as DHB was hurt during all the OTA's and dropped most passes thrown to him in Training Camp (save for the last couple of days/ and now he's hurt and being held out again), to me it's a surprise he's listed above Johnnie Lee Higgins. The biggest one would be Fargas over McFadden and Bush.

I'm not sure if the powers that be at RF365 read these posts, but if you do: WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR ONCE GREAT SITE???

While I often didn't agree with OS Davis and AC, at least the guys were great writers and knew how to present a cohesive thought and get the debate going. The articles that have been in the Raider section the last few weeks have been atrocious and saying they are amateurish would be too much of a compliment. So is RF365 a free for all now and any Joe Blow can write an article? Are Os and AC no longer going to be writing for RF365? I've personally avoided sites like the bleacher report, because it was painful to read the articles that were written at a 3rd or 4th grade level.

I used to really enjoy coming here, but now I'm not so sure. I'll wait until the season starts and hope it gets better, and some of the old writers come back, if not, it was good while it lasted.
