Does The Trent Edwards Release Signal An Appeal Of Terrelle Pryor's Suspension?

PrintNow, this is only speculation, but there are a couple of things that point to the potential appeal of Pryor's suspension.
For one, as the roster currently stands, Shane Lechler is the Oakland Raider third string quarterback. Now, I've seen Shane throw the rock in Training Camp and he did look better than Jordan LaSecla, but we can't really believe that carrying an extra running back and wide out are worth going into week one being two plays away from seeing Lechler under Center.
The second piece is the fact that Jim Tressel signed with the Colts and is, I believe, at the moment working with the team. It would be quite an injustice to see Tressel upstairs for the Colts while Pryor is being held off the field for the Raiders.
So, yes, this IS all speculation, but, that's what we do, we specualte and we spectate!
So, who else is out there?
Josh McCown, Rudy Carpenter, Scott Tolzien and Graham Harrell are all intriguing candidates, but, I would rather have Tyrelle Pryor practicing sooner rather than later.
The good news is that the Raiders are NOT the 49ers who have only Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick under contract.
Cheers!

This was actually also my first thought when i heard edwards was out
I would have thought they would have done it by now though and you would have also thought they would have made an effort to get him in against Seattle.

Who is to say we haven't already started appeals
Knowing AD, there is no reason to announce our business to the world, simply file the appeal, if we win, then we announce, otherwise, the league will announce that the had been an appeal that was denied.
I really think this ball is already rolling, appeals have a precidence of being shortened with model behavior, etc, etc, so at least maybe shortened to 3 games perhaps?
NO MERCY!

OK, even if an appeal cannot be filed until Tuesday
all I am saying is that they likely already have the paperwork in-process, just not announcing that to the world, cuz for everyone else, its nonya damn business.

Another disappointing season?????????
Hue’s actions don’t neccessarily back up his words. The first drive in the hawks game, our d was facing a 3rd and 15 and what do they do? An All out blitz leaving open recievers that results in a first down. On fourth and 13 in the fourth, he decides to leave boller (who should have been released instead) in to convert??? Wow. Not to mention, how often have we seen the secondary get exploited in the off season. Time and again, Al davis’s pereonnel management ends up biting him in the butt! This is why i have stopped supporting my team ( nfl ticket, games, etc). This is beyond old.
That was a miscommunication, one blitzer was intended not two. But the state of the LBs and Safeties leave me wondering
if our coaches are getting their messages through

I made a post or two
regarding the same exact points on Oakland newspaper blogs.
WoW!!....Could The NFLPA Be Piming My Boy Too???
I think the NFLPA wants to go to battle over this one and the NFL left that door open for a reason…It’s just politics…Nice gesture for the NCAA so their not running around trying to tie the hands of the NFL in some way as retaliation…
I think the Raider will help push it threw and the NFLPA will give us the support after the way Davis was the only descending vote on that CBA thing…
For me this could be huge and if this be the case than my boy Pryor showed them something in practice to wet the appetite for his services…Wish I could see it developing!!!
WHO CARES!!!
He’s not playing the first 5 games anyways. Appealing would be more about the principle than anything else. Sure he needs all the practice he can get but i doubt we’ll see him on the field this season regardless. He’s a Developmental QB let him soak it all in for a year.

He can't practice
for the 5 weeks either, that is why it matters.
53 man roster...
where can I see it? don’t seem to find it anywhere. HELP!!!!
THANK YOU...
just saw it, did not expect Nick Miller to make the team this year, I was a big supporter of his last year but this year did not see much from him, Davis II?? really? head scratcher!!!
GO RAIDERS!!!
INJURIES...
I realize that this roster can change in a minute, but if this roster is to stay put, Hue Jackson should be not on the “hot” seat but “in” it, I know a lot of you guys out there don’t like this type of statement, but anything less than 10 wins for this season is completly unacceptable and all of you out there should feel the same way,
GO RAIDERS!!! NO DOUBT!!!!
9-7....
9-7, yeah I call that progress but 10 wins in my opinion assures any team a playoffs spot at least 95% of the time, in my opinion, that’s all. I’m hungry for playoffs tickets and tired of looking in, the time is now, NO EXCUSES!!!!! GO RAIDERS!!!!
I want the playoffs too
Just don’t know if we can sweep the div 2 years in a row that’s unprecedented; although I would welcome it!
Tougher schedule to boot anything less than 9 is a disaster!
Disaster...
That is correct, what this team needed in my opinion was a “let’s go get them” type of coach and I just don’t see that from Hue, not yet anyway too calm for my taste that’s all. GO RAIDERS!!!
Funny....Hue Is anything But Calm...But My Take Was We Should Have Been 10-n-6 Last Season...
For certain 9-n-7 w “V” against “AZ”…“FG”…
“KC” was gifted in their game against Buffalo by taking a “FG” off the scoreboard and than giving the “Aquaws” an extra opportunity to make theirs…They should have only been 9-n-7 at best…
That 3 way tie at 9-7 would have put us in the "PO"s…
This season my projection has been 11-n-5…10-n-6 may be acceptable but below the standards that I expect…
Simply put:
We are greatly improved at passing and Pass Blocking so our “O” should be allot better thus putting up even more points…We put up good points last season….
Our “D” should be just as good if not better with the maturing of “DeathRo” and the replacement of “MarshMellow” that I was calling to happen well before the end of the season…We have lost a very valuable player at “CB” so that’s our only potential drop…Than we added a few bodies and have some healthy too…

You beat me to the punch
just read it on NFL.com myself.
Mr. Pryor will appeal, at the very least Mr. Goodell will either have to reduce it to two games or suspend Tressel as a consultant.
Remember tue 2004 Chargers???
I think either of the two outcomes will occur. First, the Raiders will surprise many and finish 12 and 4 in the season, just like how many people thought the chargers would be lucky to ink out a single victory in 2004 and finished 12-4. I guess its just a matter of seeing if this teak is ready for the next level, or if they exhausted their best efforts last yeat…not to mention the coaching staff.
The other outcome will be that the Raiders will again finish in a disappointing fashion, Al Davis will realize his mortality is getting the best of him and sell a part of his ownership and start a new path in Industry. Irregardless, lets hurry up and turn this corner!!!
