Now let's pray Oakland doesn't waste their money on Jason Taylor. Jason will be 34 the start of the season and we need to look at younger defensive lineman. It would be a crime if Al Davis selected 4th overall for Jake Long instead of a defensive line stud. Once again it's almost certain Oakland won't make it deep into the playoffs in 2008, so best they get an excellent pass rusher now... maybe a playmaker that can sell some tickets and some merchandise. Other than a JaMarcus jersey... I'm having a hard time finding Raiders fans wearing a Fabian Washington, Michael Huff, Robert Gallery or even an Asomugha jersey. Most of the jerseys are of Stabler, Long or Tim Brown----if it wasn't for the 70's & 80's...Raiders merchandise sales would be like the Cardinals or Lions right now. Also, i'm hoping Fargas doesn't fall out of favor like LaMont Jordan has. We've all rallied around Justin and his 1,009 yard season last year, but just two years ago and his first in Oakland... LaMont rushed for 1,025 yards and it's almost as if he's a cancer in the fans eyes anymore. I know LaMont has said some things, but man when you average 12 losses a year and the franchise pulls the crap it does...it has to be tough to sit there and not say anything. Hopefully, we'll draft defensive line in April.--- Raidehz

I agree with Raidehz. Lamont Jordan does deserve to stay but he doesnt run straight into the line, Fargas hits the hole hard and fast. Crockett was a great DB for Jordan. I think Griffith will really help Fargas gain some great yards year.
As for wearing jerseys I agree. I have my Tatum. I still wish we could have kept Porter. He is gonna blow up next year.
And why do we get players after the have won a Superbowl? You know, after winning the "game", I think they may lose the desire to win, the the fire within, instead of a paycheck. Because in all honestly, Desmond Howard sucked.
I still say Donovan Darius or something like that. A hitter. make em pay when or if they catch the ball. I wanna see the new immaculate reception.
Anyway, Wilson is a Raider so welcome to the Raidernation. I still would like to say that Tommy Kelly is not worth 50 mil. But he is contracted now so he better show it this year. I wanna sacks, stops, basically some results. Prove Sapp true !

Philly,totally agree. Stu will be gone,or atleast benched. Simms, Brayton, and now hopefully Stu are gone. I am upset about Clemons, but Richardson played well at the end of the year, and with burgess and kelley, we should have a good pash rush. i just hope we still draft Dorsey or Ellis with the #4 pick.
