Mean streaks win streaks: Oakland's path back to glory

A dick head is a person who roars after a mean hit! He pushes off you to stand himself up. He makes jugular tackles 100% of the time. He’s always in your face.Constantly barking words of anger and insanity.

Tackles

I love Okung, But it’s highly doubtful he’ll be there at 8. Buluga would be a great pick, but not sure it’d be worth it. Okung would be the only choice at Tackle worth a Top Ten for us, But if a trade for Gaither is possible, then Iupati would be a better choice. Im convinced a nast inside will improve the outside as well.

Guards

Iupati is my choice. He’s a mean son of a bitch who excells in run blocking. Another choice for me would be Brandon Carter. Even if we pick Iupati, Carter would be a nice choice to eventually play RG after we move Iupati to LG.

Centers

I wanna give Satele another year at Center. Give him a better RG(Iupati), and maybe he’ll see more sucess. If not, Draft the Center out of Penn next year.

MLB

I’ve always been a fan of Spikes. His slow 40 time might scare away alot of people, but I think his speed translates alooooot better when he’s in pads and smells the blood. I would love to grab Brandon in the 3rd, He’s be a tackling machine who’d also have quite a bit of tackles behind the line.

FB

I know your a fan of Blount, but switchinh him to FB would be a huge waste of his terrific talent. If we didnt have Bush, I would be all over this guy. Im a Oregon fan as well, and I had the wonderful opportunity to see him play, and he’s a beast! But I want to see him have sucess at where he’s best.

A motley crew indeed: I believe exactly what the team’s been lacking. I hope we land at least a few of these types, if not some of the very guys themselves.

We must also remember: there is a delicate balance to be found with these type of guys and leaders, so they might not get themselves ejected and act a fool, both on and off the field. I’ll take my chances with them considering the lack of cojones we’ve displayed of late, and a few angry, driven men will go far to light a fire under the proverbial ass of the squad, and hopefully infect the coaching staff as well.

classic! relax your glutes, dude!

scoliosis or whatever his back-problem is (LAP should know) makes me wonder how he’ll hold up.

and Eric Olsen @ C those guys are pretty mean.

i totally agree the Raiders I love are the Raiders that will punch you in the mouth and say ‘WE ARE THE MOTHERFUCKEN RAIDERS!’ I think with Mitchell, Tyvonn, Nnamdi and a few others we have some of those guys and definitely need to continue to bring back even more of the Raider attitude.

doesn’t mean anything but clearly he has been reading my posts hahaha

I’ll be surpised if Spikes doesn’t go early second round.

Look at the guy. He was BORN to be a Raider.

Glad to see you put JD Walton in there. Dude is nasty.

Eric Olsen is another guy who kicks ass in the trenches and can play center or guard. Cable likes those kind of guys (eg, Chris Morris)

…even though Carter is generally considered a round 4-6 prospect, it’s worth noting he took on Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy multiple times in his career and never surrendered a sack to either.

I was gonna suggest him, But I couldnt find a mean enough looking pic haha Great Job!

Build up that lost culture of intensity. Guys that love football and love to hit. The team at the start of the decade had this in spades. It was a profesional intensity. Gannon, Brown, Rice, Romanowski. These were guys that busted their ass, played the game the right way and demanded it out of the people around them. Barret Robbins…well maybe not that intense.

This team needs more players that live, eat, breathe and shit football. JaHungry took this advice unfortunately is English understandin aint so good and he is actually eating footballs.

I’d love to have him, but not this year. We have 2 HB’s that can greatly help this team, Blount will just clog things up. Michael Bush has proven that he can be Pro Bowl HB, and Darren McFadden can be a scary alternate to Michael.

I would much rather use that 5th Rd. pick on a FB or a QB. I love Blount and want to see him suceed at HB, not make a akward transition to FB and mis use his talent.

OT – Bryan Bulaga with #8 pick -1st round

G – Mike Iupati #15 pick -(1st round) in an exchange with NYG giving them our #29 pick (2nd round), Kirk Morrison and Cooper Carlisle.

C – J.D. Walton or MLB – Brandon Spikes #69 pick – 3rd round

 DT – Linval Joseph #116 pick – 4th round

RB – LeGarrette Blount #148 pick (7th pick in 5th round … a close shave but possible).

We do not have a 6th round pick.

Finally, If we took LB – Brandon Spikes (instead of Center J.D. Walton) in the 3rd, then we take Center – Jeff Byers with our 225th pick in the 7th round; if we took Center – J.D. Walton in the 3rd then we take LB Mike McLaughlin in the 7th.

even if we do get Iupati. Just in case Gallery’s body can’t take the punishment.

the rest of my mock reads
2nd Angerer
3rd Vlad the Impaler
4th Walter Thurmond III
5th Carter
Don’t know much about the 7th

I’m having a hard time remembering the last time the Raiders drafted a legit mean, nasty asshole. Kenyon Coleman maybe?

Positives: Good frame, shorter stature makes weight a non-issue, shows strong upper body… Has a mean streak, will take on blockers and get through blocks with fierceness… Scrapes well, has decent lateral footwork when moving along the middle of the field… Natural leader, makes sure teammates are in position, defensive captain last two seasons… Has fluid hips and performs well in zone coverage… Likes to hit, gets low and wraps up well… Extremely hard worker with toughness to match.

If we could take the essence of a few players from the past and breed the new Raider generation I would be all for it. Here are a few examples of the players I think SOB would approve and speaks of in his article.
1. Lyle Alzado: Of course I had to include him, he had a mean streak as long as a football field and never gave mercy to any opponents.
2. Lester Hayes: Talented yes, the most talented definitely not….however he put the fear of God into opposing WRs with those blood shot eyes and and foam eminating from his jowls.
3. Jack Tatum: Gotta love those open field hits with the should slam. He reminds me of one of my favorite defensemen in the NHL Scott Stevens.
4.Steve Winiewski: How many Pro Bowls? Quietly put the fear of smash mouth football in oppsoing D linemen and they just never seemed to mess with the guy for the most part.
5. Matt Millen: God bless him and his play on the field it more than makes up for the front office debacle. Once again never afraid to mix it up with any other player on the opposing team.
6. Ted Hendricks: Always aggressive on the tackle and never sorry for any of it. Thats just the way it should be.
I am sure there are more that everyone will contribute but these 6 would be a great start I think.

This started out as a “Tough Guy” post but what has it melted down to…This was all too funny…Luv the pics…

Draft the nastiest bastards we can find regardless of where at.
