When the dice are hot, run the table, fast and furious!

lame article, Revis is not being traded and no one would want ricky brown. That is so idiotic. You should be a lions fan.

We’ve been making some great moves for our team lately, but they’re only counteracting 7 years of Crypt Keepers horrendous business moves.

All the recent moves we’ve been making are laying a foundation that we haven’t had since the Snowjob Game. This isn’t the time to go making outrageous trades and chemistry altering moves because if the last 7 years are any indication, THOSE KINDS OF MOVES NEVER WORK, and they only exacerbate our lack of productivity and success on the field.

 We’re finally getting 7 years of sucking surgically removed from our squad in installments, why obstruct that progress by cancelling all the sessions and placing a few Band-Aids over the gashes? Why don’t we continue this gradual treatment of our 7 years of being critically wounded and leave the Band-Aids for when all the operations have been successful (a foundation for a solid team has been set and has produced on the field), and we only need the bandages to supplement the healing.

I hope you understand the metaphor ‘cause the moves you’re currently proposing are the kinds of moves that got us in that 7 year hole in the first place…..imo.

for the bulk of your argument i can agree with. the only negative is getting rid of richard seymour. dick seymour is a quality guy that i am not willing to let go.

as far as the jets’ revis is concerned, where did u hear that he was unhappy in new york? cause i aint never heard anything to the effect.

as for chris johnson and the titans, i wud love to see in silver n black gear. 1 can only hope if al is spending his nights trying to figure a way to get him in alameda. and if so the 1st person i wud send i darren mcfumble. because he has yet to repeat what he did in kansas city, as soon as he is he he is on the ground or fumbling the damn ball. so yeah get rid of that clown. PLEASE!!!

its been a long time coming!

but i will say that the signs r pointing to where its ‘fashionable’ to be in oakland again — my only response is — lets hope so.

Too many fantasy football type post on this site during the LONG off season.

i want to hear your formula for getting Haynesworth AND Revis!

I would love Haynesworth and and Revis’s talents on the Raiders however your Philosophy on acquiring talent is even less realistic than Mr Davis gettin Walkers and DeCantcoveraslantwithouthalp Hall.

I’m your biggest supporter Sons but you just love the post ratings sometimes hahaaha

You’re commitment to stirring conversation is un-paralled and much appreciated

CJ is committed to to the Titans and a winning team…….Seymour is old and McFadden well let’s just face it…..He’s no CJ…….Good luck, can’t wait to see our first win of the season on September 12th!!!!!

No way it happens..Revis isway too important to New York. Hell, he’s practically the entire reason the Jets are who they are.

Not necessarily for Revis, or getting rid of Seymour, Richardson, and Darren McFadden, (wtf?) But to keep making good choices as they arise.

But : This is the Jets franchise stud. They would never trade him. Go for Haynesworth.Go for T.O. (we don’t have a receiver that will challenge Revis and I’ve seen T.O. punk him) If we had a stud receiver it would open up the run (we should also pass ,pass ,run for a while we have been a run ,run ,pass offense forever and everyone knows what we are going to do) , and sign a couple of DT’s . Huff will be fine . We need to stop the run and score some touchdowns first.

Give our young, very fast, athletic WR’s a chance to grow with each other. The only thing that would make this off season better IMO is maybe another DT, C, and a body for LT competition. It’s too early for me to declare CB a glaring weakness this year if the rookies keep improving, and our pass rush will be more aggressive as claimed this year.

First time here since forever just to say……

Don’t type in all bold. It makes you look like a spammer. It’s basically the same as typing in all caps. I don’t know if I’m the only one seeing just bold but since just this post is all bold I’m thinking this was done by him.

I would be happy with a decent L.T.

I say go for it!!!

I had to choose the minority latter decision on this post, and once again, I think we must ask ourselves if changing what we have right now is actually the right decision, and make no mistake, these moves would significantly do that.

I believe a more likely Hayes/Haynes combo would be Asomugha/Bailey, and more similar in dynamic with Lester paired up with Haynes coming from rival New England, approaching the eve of his career. Jets don’t have any desperate needs, and if they don’t want to pay Revis contract, are they gonna pay big Dick $12.4?

Tennessee will pay CJ, just having a hard time doing so. McFadden could have the kind of year CJ had if everything fell into place, we got the tackle we need, and he’s used effectively for a change.

Too much change at this juncture would disrupt the un Al Davis like moves we’ve made of late. No big money FAs, no more obvious egos, a clear push for character guys and leadership.

That, to me, is what will always make Nnamdi light years better than Revis. Revis will never be a shadow of the leader Nnamdi is and has been for the Raiders and the Nation. It’s why I’m appalled when journalists call his contract ridiculous. It was, yet again, indirectly brilliant on Al’s part. It messed things up for every other team in the league, especially those with studs at corners at contract negotiation time.

All the recent moves we’ve been making are laying a foundation that we haven’t had since the Snowjob Game. This isn’t the time to go making outrageous trades and chemistry altering moves because if the last 7 years are any indication, THOSE KINDS OF MOVES NEVER WORK, and they only exacerbate our lack of productivity and success on the field.

How is it that mere mention of that fucking snow game pisses me off to no end?

Al Davis just reach really really deep into his pockets and sign everybody in the leaguge to a bigger contract and make them play for the raiders. we would win the super bowl every year by forfit because there would be no one to play against yeah that will work.

Are we saying that CJ is the 3rd best corner in the league? DHALL sucked at man but that dosen’t mean all corners suck at man besides Aso and Revis. Personally i think Revis is overrated. Their pass rush is so good that QBs throws aren’t as accurate. Theres gotta be other Corners who are an upgrade from CJ who we can get cheaper.

There’s a reason why Revis and Johnson our not happy with their currant situation, they both want huge contracts. Revis wants 50 more cents than Nnamdi’s contract, no telling what Johnson is shooting for? I wasn’t aware the Raiders were loaded with money to bring on such players? Davis had to sell part of the team last time he brought in high dollars players. The Raiders simply don’t draw the fans to pay for these 2 players, there for this is nothing but a pipe dream.

with the dice, and the 21 is my best ### ever, so i know when i am saying this: “Uncle AL, have that hott assed blonde blow on your fingers and roll it while Lady Luck is in love with us…”

that is an interesting notion… CJ for three guys and a draft pick? Revis for 4 and a pick?

No brainer… seriously. Two great players and we are stacked… MCFUMBLES for CJ? doth mine ears deceiveth me? is that even fair? ofcourse not, but we dont play fair in football.

WE PLAY TO WIN BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sons, If New York came to us offering two back-up CB’s, a WR you’ve never heard of and their 2nd for Nnamdi, what would you say?

maybe at the positions…

but a cancer is a cancer….

some teams actually realize locker room cohesiveness and do what they gotta do….

First, for some perspective:
All of you must go out and buy the Football Outsider’s Almanac. This is the best annual collection of statistical analysis for every single team. Read up the Jets section, and you will see that what Revis did last year for a CB would be comparable, oh, lets say for a WR, to have 200 receptions and 2500 yards. The Jets defense was predicated on Revis taking away a side of the field. He is arguably not only better than Aso, but the best PLAYER in the entire league.

 Any deal for Revis would require at least a 1st or two. They would let Revis sit out an entire year before they let him go for the deal suggested in this post. As for something more around the lines of plausible, I offer:

Jets: Darrell Revis, 2012 2nd round pick

Raiders: Richard Seymour, Chris Johnson, Tyvon Branch, 2011 2nd round pick, 2012 1st round pick

Why do I extend this deal? Because the Jets have a few needs: Defensive line and Safety. If they were to trade Revis, they would obviously want a CB. So, we give up a perfect 3-4 DE in Seymour, surrender our best safety (because they would not give us Revis for chicken scraps, ladies and gentlemen), and CJ. Obviously, I surrender several picks to aid in the Jets’ compensation.

So, Raider Nation, Deal or No Deal?

We really don’t need to change our RB’s, what we could use is a WR, I am still for signing TO, if the price is right of course, he does bring a game with him, and it would keep C-Shill open, he would be a great addition…I hate to say it but our star cornerback is over paid on the 29 ranked defense, meaning I can’t see paying Revis, we need to find a pass rush and LB play to help our D backfield…I appreciate the questions posed, however, the financial commitments to these players would break the Raiders…Now Sons of Blanda you and I are Old School Raiders fans and I respect your football and Raider knowledge, I think we need to field the team we have, add TO at WR, maybe Flozell if the price is right, I don’t think he signed yet, and lets build some chemistry with J-Campbell at the helm… If we block, we run, no doubts, especially with No injuries, and with TO we have a proven WR that D’s have to respect, which opens up things for the rest of our receivers… This may sound crazy, but the Raiders can Win the West, SD has lost key players and are having all kinds of contract disputes over there, KC, is not ready and neither is Denver…If we can play as a team and make plays the AFC can be the Raiders to lose…..

that i spent reading this article.

however imo none of them have a snowballs chance of coming to fruition.

I know you chalk this up to Davis’s madness, but in truth, he’s a committee pick, and will prove he was the right one.

This team is a refreshing change from previous years and the me first attitudes. I love how whenever these sports bloggers are fishing for crap to spew they have to use the word former Raider Jadumptruck, Javon Walker or Deangelo. Other than Tommy Kelly the rest of these guys are the most team-oriented Raiders organization I’ve seen in quite a while. Also on the RB subject, if Dmac makes an effort to get better like adding 10-15 LBs of muscle to his lower body he can be a solid player on this team along with Bush being the primary workhorse.

Dude, seriously, you have no clue. The Jets aren’t trading Revis and the Titans aren’t trading Brown. Ever. For anyone. Live in the real world. Don’t waste our time.
