Oakland Raiders' Chimdi Chekwa Amazes by Playing Decent Game

U GOT THAT RIGHT

Aren’t they gonna review this? That’s a bullshit rule I hate it

WE DONT NEED ANYMORE CBs ONCE CHIMDI & DVD MOLD WELL INTO THEIR POSITION IF NOT THIS YEAR THEY SURE R TO BREAK OUT NEXT I CAN ALREADY C AT LEAST CHEKWA THIS YEAR

With that being said lb is currently our #1 need

or Safety or CB, which I think are our primary needs.

at the CB position, and a 1st round prospect would be a good investment.

I’d like to keep Chimdi in the Safety rotation.

In case you missed it Nam got abused by Victor Cruz Sunday…. Who? exactly!

CC looked better than anytime in the pre looked like a different player altogether. Time for Smores to get in here now!

I don’t think he was 100% game one and it’s been downhill. The wet barnyard week one did some hammy and groin damage.

especially with a groin injury. You guys act like CJ is a bum or something, he can play, however, with the lack of depth he went out hurt anyway with a groin injury. Certain injuries are not going to hurt CB play too much, however, a groin injury is murder. First you have to go opposite the way you’re facing, then you have to turn and burst, and you are always breaking wide and that kills the groin, its ugly. And on top of that you are going full speed most of the time. Look Chek played well, but start? Yes, only if CJ is hurt, he needs to really heal that groin before he returns. And unless Chek really shows it, CJ starts when he is ready to go. And Chek hasn’t come close to that yet…Go Raiders!!!

Say what you want about his play but not his heart! Dude is a warrior!

I am not sold on either Chekwa or DVD as long-term solutions. What I see on the various mock draft sites is a lot of “Raiders will take Cornerback X here because they lost Nnamdi Asomugha and will need to replace him.”

We did replace Nnamdi, with Stanford Routt, who is playing like a Pro Bowler. Our problem has been replacing Stanford Routt himself as our CB2.

The thing about the OLB position is that there are two of them in our 4-3 defense, and even if we get a healthy Goethel back next year we are still starting Groves and Jarvis Moss at those positions. A blue-chip OLB prospect would seriously upgrade our front seven and make up for any deficiencies Rolando McClain may continue to have.

There are four CBs in particular that I think the Raiders may target. I haven’t looked so much at the OLBs but that shouldn’t be too hard.

Curry will now hit unrestricted free agency after the 2012 season, and the regime that did not draft him gets out (mostly) of a contract they didn’t negotiate. Moreover, Curry becomes easier to trade.

Following Aaron Curry’s demotion from the Seattle Seahawks’ starting lineup, there were musings upon his future with the organization, as it appears that he may be the next player turned over by the Pete Carroll regime.

Curry had a captivating series of exchanges on Twitter following his first game as a reserve — as chronicled by Danny O’Neil of the Seattle Times — and in particular, he seems generally open to getting a fresh start elsewhere. In particular, he noted that he’d be ecstatic to play for the Carolina Panthers (a team that could use a linebacker, given the season-ending injuries to Thomas Davis and Jon Beason).

It remains to be seen whether the Seahawks will make a move this season with Curry, after restructuring his deal and canceling the final two seasons. As for the expected compensation in return for the LB, Dave “Softy” Mahler of 950 KJR has word from an NFL source that a seventh-round pick is the best the Seahawks could get. There have been no reports of teams calling to check on Curry’s availability, though that could change prior to the Oct. 19 deadline.

Hell must really be freezing over with what’s going on in the NFL this year.

They would have had to stop the clock then put time back on or at least let them have the attempt.
