Moses CUT by Mistake?

http://mvn.com/nfl-cardinals/2007/09/02/thanks-oakland-cardinals-jump-on-moses-after-raiders-reporte dly-cut-him-by-mistake/

Say it aint so Joe, say it aint so!?!?!

It is quite possible that two stories that were leaked:

1) Kiffin is pissed about cuts

and

2) Moses released by mistake

Lead to the same conclusion...If Someone f'ed up big time HE WILL BE FIRED!!!

***UPDATE***

"But at the end of looking at all of it, we had other people that could help us more. It shows everything that we're about here, about how competitive this field is, that a player as good as Quentin couldn't make the roster. Also, it shows that we're not worried about where a guy was drafted or how much a guy was paid in free agency. We took the best 53 players for us."

I don't believe this for one minute, unless
Kiffin was just being diplomatic after the fact in his audio.  If that is true HE needs to be fired, he is the head coach, and should be submitting the only list.

I'm Embarrassed
   First of all, he may have played well during the preseason and I'll take Saint's word on that. We don't know about his work habits or his attitude. Nevertheless, a 3rd round pick is not easily given up...unless the conspiracy theory holds true and that it was a mistake. We may never know the answer, let's just hope Gerard Warren and the others on the D-line help us forget about this little incident. Can you just imagine what Warren Sapp is saying about this?

   If this is all true, we deserve to be where we've seen this team for the last couple of years. I'm willing to forgive Kiffin on this one. But this is not the way I expected to start the season given Jamarcus may never even wear the silver and black.

It seems highly unlikely
that this happened. There are hundreds, nay, thousands of Raider haters out there, and KNBR which is now the shill for the 49ers delights in perpetuating false statements which this seems to be.  The simple fact from what I saw is that Moses was a long way from being a player that was going to help the Raiders.  What is so strange about a 3rd  round pick not making the team, happens all the time.  Anyone who watched the exhibition games could see that Richardson was far superior to Moses as a defensive player, and he was a 5th round pick.  Moses constantly over ran his responsibility and teams ran underneath him, Richardson flat out stuffed the run and put great pressure on the QB. Next thing I expect to read is that letting Darius go was a clerical mistake.  What about Boothe, he started 8 games last year and was let go, was that a clerical also?  A lot of talk about nothing.  Moses wasn't going to play anyway, by next year there will be other guys to draft.

Not one Bay Area newspaper is
reporting this.  If there was any semblance of truth, someone would have written a story about it, or even mentioned the rumor.

Hey SAINT, has Ben Patrick been picked
up yet?  I'd love it if the Raiders could stash him on the practice squad. He just needs some seasoning.
