Justin Miller is back

by thepunisher00187 on Oct 1, 2009 12:41 PM PDT

I saw on the Raiders website today that John Bowie has been placed on the injured reserve list.(what a surprise) Guard Brandon Rodd has been signed to the practice squad. And, one of my favorite cornerbacks, Justin Miller, has been re-signed. This guy has what Al Davis and I personally love, incredible speed. He took back two kick off returns for touchdowns last year in just 10 games as an Oakland Raider. He is the perfect dime corner in my opinion and is a threat to take it back to the house every time he touches the ball. I can't see why he was released in the first place because Bowie hasn't proven anything and gets hurt every year. Unfortunately for Bowie I think that this was the last straw for him. He can't stay healthy and got burnt in preseason by #3 and #4 receivers on team's depth charts. Welcome back to Oakland Justin. :)

But we lost Rankin

While I am happy that we got Justin Miller back for special teams duties, Rankin was claimed off of waivers by the Seahawks on Tuesday.

Your team is your child...You love it no matter what.

I forgot to mention

in my post that Johnathan Holland was signed to the active roster as a cornerback and returned kicks against the Broncos. Needless to say he didn’t impress much and should be placed back on the practice squad soon. I’m anxious to see what Nick Miller can bring as a slot receiver or whatever but not as a returner because Justin Miller and JLH have proven they can get touchdowns on returns and should be used to that ability.

Win, Lose, or Tie, Raiders til' I die.

Glad to have him back

I was seriously pissed we let him go I was so sure that KC would pick him up as a return guy and he’d bite us in the ass twice a year

Pity to lose Rankin

He contributed on special teams, and seemed like a good prospect.

Rankin > Fargas

Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up!!
