I love the Oakland Raiders that will never ever change. There has been good times and bad times but, what matters is that I never left my team and I never will. I am going to UC Merced and majoring in Human Biology. Though my chances seem dim I would love to have the honor to wear the silver and black on the field and be a part of the greatest organization this world has ever seen.

Silver And Black Pride 3 headed QB Attack ???



What yeah it's just an Idea and it is a crazy one. If we can use Grad in the 1st and 2nd Q then Frye in the 3rd Q and then Jamarcus if we needed a quick score in like 1:30 secs then put him in. It would make it extremely difficult for the opposing defenses to prepare for 3 QB's let alone one. So let me hear what you dudes think.

Silver And Black Pride Richard Seymour

NOTES-   Defensive lineman Richard Seymour would not commit to coming back next season. 

“Obviously I’m on a one-year contract,” Seymour said. “That’s just the situation at this point. I’d love to be here if the situation is likewise. But obviously that’s the business side of the game. As we all know, I thought I was going to be in New England last year and six days before the season I’m here in Oakland. You never know what happens so I’ll just let those chips fall where they may.”

Silver And Black Pride Charlie Frye for President

 

Ok I was watching our first Preseason game vs the Cowboys one of the few games we have won and I saw Jamarcus Russell he was Blah... Ok then Grad came in he was better than JR then Mr.President Charlie Frye came it and tore it up. His passes were average, His decisions were Ok but His Pocket Awareness was freaking Out- standing which is What JR sucks at and a few more things but, I don't understand why he can't get that taught to him by Charlie is it cause he thinks he is too good or something. I saw some good things from him if we could some how mix JR's arm strength, Grad's accuracy, and Frye's pocket awareness we would have a dam good QB. If you guys could go back and see what I'm talkin about in the 1st game it would be great cuz I can't find it all in You Tube.

Silver And Black Pride Review and Preview




 Well as all of you have seen the first Raider Game has happened after about 8 months of waiting and training. I for one was pleased with our performance not so much with the first team but, the back-ups played greatly. It is not everyday that we score 31 points in a game last time that happened was when we played the Broncos in Denver. This post will include my opinion on the coaches, players, fans, and a Preview for next weeks game vs the San Francisco 49er's.

Silver And Black Pride Huge Tryout for the Oakland Raiders

 It was reported some time long ago I think that a challenger drove to Oakland California and tried out for the Oakland Raiders I will not tell You who it is but, you will have to see the link. He challenged people such as Sea bas, Jerry Rice, and Lincoln Kennedy he showed some style wearing the number 5 jersey. I think it would be a huge shock if he really made the team we would have no problem in getting the fans in Oakland Coliseum not like we have one now.

Here it is

Silver And Black Pride Tom Cable Salute

Once the offensive line coach for the Atlanta Falcons now the leader of our Oakland Raiders. Someone who was a simple coach who no one really knew now has the undisputed and immeasurable love and respect from our players which has been missing from the organization since the super bowl season back in 2002. In my opinion this is what Tom Cable has given us since his Interim Tag.

 1)Raiders vs Saints week 6- 34 to 3 OAK loss- Not the best game from this season but, was his first start as interim head coach.

 2)Jets vs Raiders week 7- 13 to 16 OAK Win- Wonderful when we had the reputation that we couldn't play 4 quarters well, to those past doubters we played 5 quarters Tom Cable was quick to recover from near game losing mentality we he called timeout when Feely missed it Tom Cable got his guys together and sparked a fire which burned though the game and overtime.

 3)Raiders vs Baltimore week 8- 10 to 26 OAK Loss- Things really didn't go good with the Ravens but, the biggest loss from that game was Justin Griffith.

 4)Falcons vs Raiders week 9- 24 to OAK Loss- Shit worst game in 40 years we did not deserve the beating that was received. Matt Ryan did win Rookie of the year so it is a little OK.

 5)Panthers vs Raiders week 10- 17 to 6 OAK Loss- Bad news is Raiders lose and Jamarcus Russell did not play, Good News Nnamdi got his first pick of the year against Steve Smith and Deangelo Hall was not in a Raider uniform thank God.

 6)Raiders vs Dolphins week 11- 15 to 17 OAK Loss- A better game in recent weeks we saw the amazing JLH Take it back 80 yards but, I recall the last drive we had everyone was walking to the line no rush at all not how to lead or set an example Russell.

 7)Raiders vs Broncos week 12- 31 to 10 OAK Win- WOW a Oakland explosion electric Darren Mcfadden had 2 TD's Jamarcus was 10\11 for 152 yards Thomas Howard picked off our friend Jay Cutler whom I was glad that he was given a last escort out of the division by the Raiders. Note- No offensive TD for the Raiders in 15 Quarters but, gave 3 TD's in 18 plays also in breaking news Tom Cable highest vertical jump by coach in 2008.

 8)Chiefs vs Raiders week 13- 20 to 13 OAK Loss- Not very good timing mine and Rayder K's first Raider game ended up as a loss to a rival but, we expeienced a interception by Chris and a TD by Justin Fargas.

 9)Raiders vs Chargers week 14- 7- 34 OAK Loss- TD returned kick off by Justin Miller that is about it. I promise it will be much much different next time cuz it's in the Black Hole.

10)Patriots vs Raiders week 15- 49 to 26 OAK Loss- First game I missed all season but, Darren Mcfadden and JLH both had TD's.

 11)Texans vs Raiders week 16- 16 to 27 OAK Win- First TD on first drive by the Raiders all year long and a nice overall win by the Raiders over a hot team.

12)Raiders vs Tampa Bay week 17- 31 to 24 Oak Win- What a great way to end the season take away Gruden's job and put Garcia in Silver& Black, Bushes explosion and first comeback win.

 Overall- In my own thoughts Tom Cable did a nice job won some amazing game but, loss some we should have won. Got the respect that the players gave him which is huge.

 After That- Named Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders and just doing great in off-season by adding people like Free Agent, Trade, and Undrafted Free Agent acquirement's.

Silver And Black Pride The Future of the Oakland Raiders rests on Jamarcus Russell's Shoulders

Well, Our organization started to rebuild itself are a league worst 2-14 season by Drafting QB from LSU Jamarcus Russell with the first Overall pick in the 2007 Draft. He was projected to be the "Savior" of this Franchise but, A long signing hold out cost him to miss all of Training camp. First game played was at home in Oakland, California inside of Mcafee Coliseum where he completed his first professional pass to WR Jerry Porter on a play action play. First professional pass as a starter was week 17 against the Chargers and he was picked off by an offensive linemen while he tried to do a screen pass. Throughout that time he has shown signs of improvement this year ending the season on a two game winning streak and one of the top rated QB in that time. He ended the 2008 season with 13 Touchdown, 8 Interceptions, 2,423 Yards through the air, and a 77.1 Rating.

 

 

 

PRO: Talented QB who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft by Raiders…2007: Saw action in four games in December…Inactive from 9/9-11/25.

PERSONAL: Attended Lillie B. Williamson High in hometown of Mobile, Ala....One of the nation’s top-rated quarterbacks...Consensus top-five national pro-style quarterback by every major recruiting publication...Named to the prestigious Parade All-America Team…Named Alabama’s Mr. Football and SuperPrep Dixie Offensive Player of the Year...All-time leading passer in Alabama history, throwing for 10,744 yards, eclipsing the mark set by former Alabama and current Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Brodie Croyle...Two-time 5A all-state selection who rewrote the record books with 84 touchdown passes...Connected on 219 of 372 passes for 3,332 yards and 22 TDs as a senior...On the ground, added 400 yards and five TDs in 2002...Passed for 1,850 yards and 17 touchdowns as a junior...Also standout basketball player…Made national news in the fall of 2005 after sharing his apartment with legendary musician Fats Domino in the days following Hurricane Katrina... Actually housed more than a dozen family and friends for a week following the storm.

Here are some people who will be helping Jamarcus Russell on his way to Success.

 1) Darren McFadden-  Selected 4th overall by the Oakland Raiders in the 2008 Draft. Al Davis type pick also with him being one of the fastest players available in the Draft.

 

Oakland Raiders selected Arkansas RB Darren McFadden with the #4 overall selection in the 2008 NFL Draft. McFadden rushed for 4,590 yards on 785 attempts, averaging 5.8 yards, and scored 44 touchdowns during his career at Arkansas.

During his career at Arkansas, McFadden caught 46 passes for 365 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw seven touchdown passes and returned a kickoff for a score.

In 2007, he rushed for 1,830 yards on 325 attempts, averaging 5.6 yards, and scored 17 touchdowns.

McFadden, a two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up, is regarded as one of the finest players in college football in recent years and one of the best to come out of the University of Arkansas. The two-time Doak Walker Award winner shattered numerous school and Southeastern Conference records during his three seasons at Arkansas, establishing himself as one of the league's elite all-time backs -- Herschel Walker of Georgia, Bo Jackson of Auburn and Emmitt Smith of Florida.

McFadden was often utilized as the quarterback in the "Wildcat" formation, dominating defenses with his running and passing. He shared the backfield with another 1,000-yard rusher and first-team All-American kick returner Felix Jones, as the duo formed the most potent running back tandem in the nation, helping the Razorbacks average 286.5 yards per game on the ground in 2007.

In 38 games as a Razorback, McFadden rushed for over 100 yards 22 times. By winning the Doak Walker Award in both 2006 and '07, he became just the third Arkansas player to ever garner national award recognition in the 112 years of the program, joining Bud Brooks (1954 Outland Trophy) and Loyd Phillips (1966 Outland Trophy).

By gaining 1,113 yards rushing in 2005, 1,647 in '06 and a school-record 1,830 yards in '07, McFadden joined Georgia's Herschel Walker (1980-82) as the only players in Southeastern Conference history to rush for over 1,000 yards as a freshman, sophomore and junior. He is also the second UA player to rush for 1,000 yards three times, joining Ben Cowins (1976-78). McFadden is the first to do it in his first three seasons.

HIGH SCHOOL: He was the only player from the state of Arkansas to be named to the Parade All-America team in 2004. He was also selected to the second team All-South squad by Countdown to Signing Day. He racked up 4,871 yards rushing on 497 attempts in his prep career and averaged 9.8 yards per carry for Coach John Mayes. He was named the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s Offensive Player of the Year in 2004. He was also selected to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s All-Arkansas squad. He was also tabbed as the 4A-Southeast Conference’s Outstanding Back. He earned all-state and all-area honors as both a junior and a senior. He rushed for 1,965 yards and 27 touchdowns on 184 carries as a senior. He averaged 10.7 yards per carry and scored three or more rushing touchdowns in six games during his senior season. He made three receptions for 67 yards and one score. He completed six-of-15 passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns as a quarterback. He also returned nine punts for 370 yards and three touchdowns. As a junior, he rushed for a school-record 2,027 yards and 19 touchdowns on 204 carries. He averaged 9.9 yards per tote as a junior leading his squad to an 8-4 record and second-place finish in the 5-AAA Conference. He hauled in nine passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns as a junior. He also earned 103 yards on 12 punt returns. In his sophomore campaign, he rushed for 859 yards and 13 touchdowns on 109 carries. He hauled in 12 receptions for 333 yards and five scores. He also returned 10 punts for 82 yards and 14 kickoffs for 372 yards. In the summer of 2004, he was named as the most valuable player of the Houston Nutt Football Camp. In addition to football, he was a standout in baseball and track and field in high school. He owned a vertical jump of 32 inches in high school. He was ranked as the No. 23 prospect in the nation and the No. 1 prospect in Arkansas by Rivals.com. The organization also rated him as a five-star prospect and the No. 3 athlete in the country. Tom Lemming’s Prep Football Report rated him as the No. 8 running back in the nation. He was No. 21 on the Mobile Register’s Super Southeast 120 listing. He was also listed as No. 21 in The Dallas Morning News Top 100. He was also among the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Super Southern 100. He participated in the 2005 Arkansas High School All-Star Game at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. He was also recruited by a host of other schools including Tennessee, Alabama, Nebraska, Auburn and Iowa.

PERSONAL: Born August 27, 1987, he is the son of Graylon McFadden and Mini Muhammad. He is enrolled in the College of Education and Health Professions and is majoring in kinesiology with an emphasis on teaching. He was named to the Lon Farrell Academic Honor Roll for Fall 2006. He was also named a Hard Working Hog for the 2005-06 academic year.

2) Zach Miller- One of the Top Rated TE in the game today. With Tony Gonzalez leaving the Chiefs thing will open up for Miller as a pro bowl type of player. He has sure hands and Jamarcus Russell's favorite go to guy right now.

PRO: Major contributor to Oakland in first NFL season. Had 44 receptions for 444 yards and three touchdowns to lead all NFL rookie tight ends…Set a Raiders rookie tight end record with 44 receptions…Caught a season-high eight passes for 84 yards in the final game of the season, which was QB JaMarcus Russell’s first career start…Started all 16 games as a rookie.

PERSONAL: At Desert Vista High School in Phoenix, was unanimous selection as the No. 1 tight end prospect in the nation…USA Today first team All-American tight end and played in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl High School All-Star Game…Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year in 2003…Named the Phoenix Metro Magazine Player of the Year…Had 47 catches for 790 yards and six touchdowns as a senior…Also added 134 tackles on defense, 11 sacks and one interception as a linebacker…Won the Larry Gordon Award, presented annually to the state’s best linebacker and the Henry Stanton Award as the state’s top receiver…Amassed 27 receptions for 520 yards and six touchdowns as a junior…On defense, accumulated 102 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and 11 sacks…As a sophomore, made Student Sports Magazine Sophomore All-America tight end…Was third team all-state by the Arizona Republic…Made All-Central Region second team at tight end as a freshman…Earned four letters in football and three in track and field…Set the school discus record and was the shot put regional champion in 2004…Also earned all-city honors in discus in 2004…Finished third in the state in discus in 2003…Brother, Brent, also played for Arizona State and shared tight end duties with Zach in 2006

3)Darrius Heyward Bey- Selected by the Oakland Raiders 7th overall in the 2009 NFL draft. Fastest WR in the draft and is a good target for Jamarcus to throw to. Also he is able to free up people like JLH and Darren Mcfadden with his type of threat.

 

4) Johnnie Lee Higgins-  Very versatile type of football player had a combined 7 total TD's last year 4 from SP and 3 receiving TD's. One of the quickest people I have ever seen and good hands to catch the ball.

PRO: Versatile wide out who also saw duty as the team’s punt returner…Played in 16 games with two starts in his rookie year…Caught six passes for 47 yards.

Since 2006 we have gotten player to produce with Jamarcus Russell he has many targets now and with our reliable running game we should have a very strong offensive attack. Ghosts from 2002?

Silver And Black Pride Who will have a Better NFL Legacy DHB or Crabtree

Now, many many NFL, ESPN, and other football analysts have said this is the same stupid Al Davis run team But, like the sophisticated Raider fans we have here know that if is this was an Al Davis team he would never let Cable pick his own crew of assistants to restore greatness to the Raider name. They are giving us grades no higher that a D+ but, like I stated we are more sophisticated than them by a long shot. For them to think about the Raiders they must be straight up stupid and look like this.

Now I know that was a little off topic but, I had to get it off my chest.

So, with the seventh Overall pick the Oakland Raiders Choose Darrius Heyward-Bey. Aww man this is bullshit was my first reaction and then after crying for 15 minutes I started to think he was a better pick than Crabtree he has that Diva Attitude which I think he should try to perfect because football isn't for him. DHB has me really excited with his blazing speed and Consistent hands yes, consistent hands will be a big play maker not to mention he will give other talented receiver on our team such as Miller, JLH, Chadz, and healthy Walker. He was the right decision for this franchise in my opinion.

Now that leaves us with Crabtree now a San Francisco 49er first thing I though was what a waste. I will guarantee that he will not even have over 10 TD's this season even I could have made about Twenty TD with the offense he played in Texas Tech. DHB had much more complicated routes to run and was the only play maker in Maryland and a bad QB. At least we know Jamarcus is accurate just might overthrow a little but, that's where his speed kicks in to burn everyone. Who is the 49er's QB I don't know do they have but I know that they are not better than Jamarcus and the same goes for their offensive line it might be good but, nowhere better than ours. Crabtree the same expression you had at the draft will be the same throughout your carrerr.crabtreeinmyhead.jpg image by EditorGuanteve

Silver And Black Pride Sebastian Janikowski

Most people say that kickers are the least athletic and physically fit but,  Sebastian for the Raiders  is the all time leading scorer. The Raiders had 263 points last season with 87 of those coming from Sebastian which is 33% that may not seem a lot but remember it is all from one person. Sebastian has always come through when we needed him to, like the Raiders vs the Jets when he made his record setting kick that gave Cable his first win in Oakland and gave us hope for the rest of the season. Not to mention that it is very nice to have a guy who can make your drive worth 3 points every time.Sebastian is the type of player that we really need, never had any disciplinary problems, and most importantly he is very Selfless, he is able to share the spotlight with Shane who is the best Punter,Selflessness is what we are desperate for here. He is a perfect example for the rest of the Raiders to follow.

Silver And Black Pride What is Up With Al Davis?

Don't you guys remember in the middle of this season we all couldn't wait for him to die. Now he is letting Cable pick the coaches , learning from Free Agent mistakes, Signing players who have to earn their money unlike D-Hall and Tommie Kelly, Taking less control of the team and putting it into the 21st century. OR by the middle

of the season will Al turn again personaly i think he is doing a great job right now.

Silver And Black Pride Best game this year

I know that this year had it's ups and downs but i would like to talk about what the best game this year was. There was alot of unexpected players who really amazed us. This year has been a big improvement from the seasons after our super bowl apperence. This was the year that we all thought the young players were going to shine they did but they started when it didn't matter at that time very unfortunate .
