Hey it's that guy...
I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP
I'm also a Raider Fan dammit!!! RAIDER NATION!!!!
Hurrah, let's fix our line composed of second raters by signing a third rater!
My fear right now is that Gallery’s injury is serious and Pears will be taking Loper’s place on the depth chart since he’ll have to start.
Kamerion Wimbley is the truth
llllllllolloooloooolllooloooooooooooollllllllllloool =[

Hoooray! They got an OT! They're fixing the line!!!!!!!
….wait….Pears?….PEARS!?!…..sigh
Cable Bumaye! Raiders Bumaye!
This
has got to be a joke. This cannot be serious. I am seriously thinking we are in the twilight zone here. Ground Hog day anyone? We have to be the most masochistic team in the NFL. Talk about self abuse. Shaking my head so much I may need a chiro adjustment.

This reminds of the new years night I spent in a flea bag hindu hotel in Medford Oregon when turned away from the Siskou pass
I’d received a bill from my attorney that morning for $13,600 – spent to wrest my mother from her conservator and then had a fight with that same mother who I’d saved. Things got so bad, Spirals and I started laughing and had a great day coming back. That night we went to Trader Vics and in came Al Davis.

Jerry McDonald tweeted some things.
First, about Pears, it was Yamon Figurs who was let go in place of him. Other things he noted include Gallery’s injury and that it might be serious enough for him to miss Sunday’s game and also that Bush will probably return this week.

Nothing has been announced, but why not Jacoby Ford?
In my opinion, Ford wasn’t the smart pick if he isn’t returning at least one of between punts or kicks. That was a significant part of his value.

from jerry's twitter
Kick returners will be JLH and Jacoby Ford. Cable not sure which one will return kickoffs, which one will return punts.

Good news. Johnnie Lee should return punts as Jacoby returns kicks.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
Given those options, I agree. But would like to see Miller return both to see what he does

Oh Gallery is injured?
Knock me over with a feather. Deja vu all over again, twilight zone here we come. That guy has yet to really make me think he is a proper everyday offensive lineman. Always injured every year.

Gallery has chronic back issues.
I think when you have back problems it takes a toll physically on anybody, let alone a professional lineman. I think his career is done, not for being injury-prone but for his own well-being he should call it now. Maybe Veldheer and Campbell were looked at his successors instead of the answer at LT. If they really believed we needed one they would have gotten one earlier in the draft or in free agency.

Doubt our Line-coaches/HC have that much foresight. But, Soup and Veld could step in at G easier than T or C.
Veld, I’m starting to believe, can play anywhere on the line. Soup is a natural Guard and, if he understands Cable’s complex quasi-ZBS nightmare on the left side (don’t think LG & RG are completely interchangeable in this system) then he should do it. But maybe he should stay at RG and have Carlisle or Walker go to LG.

Al could send Mario and some of the other to prison during the offseason to harden them.
