Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

The 10 Yard Scramble, Raider Ramblings:

This is a new addition to the site and I hope to be able to do this daily.

- How is it that Sapp isn't even an alternate? Do the opposing players and coaches hate him that much?

Sapp has 38 tackles and 8 sacks. The only person who should even be mentioned along with him is Jamal Williams who has run up his tackle total to 58, yet only has three sacks.

Seymour and Hampton have got to be jokes!!!

Sapp has out tackled each of them and has had twice as many sacks as both of them...COMBINED!!!

I guess that Seymore and Hampton probably help up QB's and appologize IF ever they beat an O-Lineman and that helped them get the votes!!!

That is a JOKE!!!

- Shane Lechler is the best punter, EVER, and he is not included as a Pro Bowler either.

That is just a shame as well. I recall when Reggie Roby and, who was that kicker from the Colts (Oh Yeah, Rohn Stark), were pencilled in every year because they were the best, whether they led the League in Yards or not.

Well, Shane does lead the League in Yards, AND he is the best EVER!!!

Shame on you NFL. I understand that this is just you guys kicking Al when he is down. But, you are also waking a sleeping Lion. From every account yesterday Art was Ticked OFF and this will make our rise to the top only sweeter.

- This week is Chiefs week and this week has me pumped up. I don't care if we go 3-13 as long as we beat the Squaws and ruin thier playoff chances.

As many of you know, I disdain the Chiefs more than any team in the NFL.

It all goes back to the turf days when Marty "$&&&" Enheimer ran the team.

Marty has not been in San Diego long enough for me to really hate them as much, but, if he stays another couple of years I am sure that my disdain for them will grow larger than my hate for the Squaws.

- Brooks got his shot to beat the Squaws a couple of weeks ago and was reared ineffective by the 4th quarter.

The pick he threw on that last possesion still burns me!!!

I wish we would go with Walter.

This move shows me that the team really wants to win this one, so they are going with thier best shot.

- This Saturday Night's game should be a good glimpse into the future of the left side of our line.

Finally, it is looking like Gallery and McQuistan will be lined up together, and you had better believe that I will be watching them very closely.

- You know, I need to get a good photo of "Run Run" to put up on this site.

I want it to be a photo that is on the home page as long as this site exists.

If any of you have a good one, can you post it?

And speaking of "Mr. Jones", the Raiders will be honoring him at 2PM at the Airport Hilton on Friday.

That is all that I have for now, but I will udate this article as the day goes on if I feel like rambling some more!!!

When a team goes 2-12
you are NOT going to get any respect, the answer to that is to win a few more games.  An argument can be made that the defense of the Raiders has been on the field so much that their stats, or chances for stats are greater than a team which has an offense that holds onto the ball a lot more.  
I am not taking anything away from the defense which is the best the Raiders have had in several years.  The key players should all be back next year, and with a good outside backer might be better.  I am not sold on Fabian Washington just yet, nor Sweigart for that matter, but the nucleus is there.
Now if we can totally revamp the offense.........I don't know that I have ever seen such a poor offense. I am all for blowing it up and starting all over again.

You make many great points, my friend:
The thing that I wish to point out is that some teams get more INT's because they have a ball hogging O or high scoring O that makes the other team throw more.

I am not sold on Fabulous as a top tier, top 5 in tbe league CB, either. He may become a top 5 DB though. This is only his second year!!! What bookends they will make when Van McElroy..I mean Darnell Bing comes into the league next year!!!

Pride And Poise!!!

That certainly is true
I really wasn't talking about Nami who has been sensational no matter how you measure, the fact that our defense was so poor against the run caused other teams not to pass as much, but Nami was great.

Our D Needs a Few Tweaks
I love our defense but it still has plenty of room for improvement.  2 areas for improvement are our run defense and pass rush.  We also could use a run stuffing, lane clogging DT and a playmaking SLB plus a DE who can get between 6-8 sacks per season.  Brayton & Sam Williams should be replaced with Huntley and a FA or draftee.  I also think it would be nice to have Huff at FS and Bing at SS.  I do believe that Kevin Huntley has the potential to be a much bigger contributor than Brayton at DE.

I agree about Brayton
I have seen almost every game and I don't recall him making any plays at all, maybe a few down field tackles, but he is an invisible man.
