There Is No Way That The Oakland Raiders Are Done With the 53 Man Roster

they have a plan for this team and we being mere mortals cannot see it. I will repeat my mantra from last year…wait till game 5 before passing judgement on this team. Remember we only get to see what Al wants us to see till the games count.

Also, some Raiders from last year being released Ricky Brown (Patriots) JLH (Eagles).

Raiders release QB Edwards and LB Sam Williams

But we don’t need lance briggs…I know it seems crazy but we can disguise our weakness at wlb and adress our other cb position and oline issues…regardless if carlisle looks good a game or two he needs to be a backup…imagine us signing lofa of the streets and bringing in stincomb and leornard davis to play on our right side.sign abibi or diles and see what cb we can make a play on…because our secondary will look like 2009 b4 routt emerge w/o asomugha….quick thought imagine we would have never lost woodson or nnamdi…dreams over lol

cost Mr. Loper his fate.

last week against New Orleans, he gave no effort on that screen pass play, costing the Raiders a big gain.

Last night against Seattle, he missed his pass blocking assignment close to our end zone forcing Mr. Heyer to try to block to pass rushers. Stephon produced kept Mr. Boller from being sacked and prevented a sure safety.

we will need to score early to make our poor LB depth irrelevant;

remember, Wimbley’s strength is getting to the qb.

There will be more changes in the next week, every team is going through the same thing. I forget the teams but there were two trades for draft picks today, I expect many more in the next week, the Raiders have many expendable players on this roster, and am sure they are trying to work out deals right now. I am also sure they are looking at waiver wires to see if there are some players they coveted that have been cut.
I agree with everyone on this site that Groves is not the answer at LB.

Thomas howard…he’s atleast decent at pass coverage

Loper was a salary casualty but he can still be replaced with a tackle. Campbell and Barnes are both capable Guards. Heyer and Barksdale could play guard if neccessary as well. I expect Wand to get cut and we sign someone better than Wand but cheaper than Loper. Could be a tackle, guard, or G/T.

7 WRs, 4 genuine RBs, 4 TEs, only 2 QBs, 1 MLB, and 1 FS. Sure this will change but not all of it immediately. Murphy, Schilens, and Boss are dinged up. We can go with only 2 QBs for 5 weeks. Cartwright and Reece arent true RBs so I didnt count them. Chekwa is learning FS and Branch can play that position to a degree. Boyd can be let go when Mitchell is healthy and then bring in another LB or DB. We do need a MLB but we can squeeze by with either 5 total LBs or 1 FS until its time to let Boyd go. The other DB or LB can be added anytime when we dump a WR , TE, or RB. Finally when Pryor gets here, we dump another WR, TE, or RB. Case solved.
