How did he perform in NY?

I watched him a lot at MSU and I thought he'd make more of an impact that he has, it seems.

He started a couple of games for us in the middle when we still had a void there. He was a liability in coverage but played the run well. The coverage issues are par course for a young linebacker though and he was thrown into the starting lineup abruptly and wasn't calling plays because he was still learning the defense. He was developing though and played well on special teams.

Herzlich surpassed him on the depth chart in camp. He was better in coverage, faster etc. Jones was moved to the outside but the addition of Keith Rivers (who had an excellent preseason) all but guaranteed we were either going to cut him or Paysinger. Paysinger is our best ST player so he wasn't going anywhere.

I think he definitely has the talent to stick with another team.

So... what do you guys think the Raiders record will be? 16-0? 15-1?

Really though, based on how they played in the pre-season if McFadden ever gets injured it doesn't seem like they have any chance at all to win the game. Maybe that's just because Moore was injured, but it seems to me like they're definitely going to have a worse season this year than they did last year.

I think Oakland can possibly be a 9-7 in that division.

Raiders will have a better record than the Chargers this year.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Would mean McCoy being traded I would think.

5 bucks and a solid piece of advice for McCoy?

 

[Wes]

Not shocked by Seneca and glad he's gone but Evan Moore? Probably has more to do with his injury than his skillset. But then again they seem to have put all their eggs in a basket for Jordan Cameron.

Well the depth is probably Watson, Cameron, Smith anyway. Moore was a glorified WR but without any glory.

I'm pissed David Sims got cut though.

 

[BakedPigeon]

throw in a little ceasars hot n ready and you have yourself a deal.

 

[Sokantish]

Maybe I'm just too use to having the Raiders let me down, seeing them with a winning record again seems like a fantasy. I do like these replacement refs though, since they don't have a bias against the Raiders they've been getting a lot less penalties! I'm positive it's that and not the refs being bad at their jobs.

 

[MechDX]

.

Somehow, sometime Colt will wind up with Kubiak in Houston. I have no evidence of this but he just seems like Kubiak/Smith/McNairs type of guy. They have kept Beck but if Colt could be had on the cheap I believe the Texans would be players and cut Beck.

 

[yankeehater]

The Browns should give Colt another shot. He looked really good in the preseason game against the Eagles.

 

[eznark]

Thank goodness Seneca has gone. He was awful for the locker room. Wouldn't help McCoy at all last year and Shurmur likes Lewis.

What would Seneca Wallace possibly be able to help anyone with??

 

[cajunator]

Honestly this wouldnt be a surprise. I think the Chargers missed their window. Giving away 3 great RB's certainly didn't help.

 

[Sanjuro]

Yeah, I was going to post this as well.

 

[MechDX]

Dat Wildcat! But him the same backfield as Tebow and blow the minds of DC's in the AFCE.

 

[Wes]

By not being a hinderance you are being a help. He was being a hinderance.

 

[BakedPigeon]

So with the report that talks are going to start up again on Friday between the NFL and the refs, is there any chance they could have a deal done before Sunday or is this week a lock for the replacements?

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Sean Spence has multiple torn ligaments in his kee, out for the season.

 

[msdstc]

Ughh I don't understand this decision by the pats. What does this benefit? He was nothing in terms of salary, and who does it save a spot for? Bolden? I don't like this at all. Hopefully there is some truth to them bringing Gaffney back. Either way it's funny to see both of our outside recievers last year weren't even good enough to make the team this year. That being said they only brought in 1 who stuck, should've brought 2.

I think a deal will be done.

Then we can go back to complaining about the regular ref ineptitude.

They cut Sims?

They are thinking "fuck, why do we even need WR's when we got TE's". They will probably just put a warm body in the WR position to be legal.

 

[TheLegendary]

Packers release Muir too? What the? Even if Raji's not seriously injured...why?

 

[eznark]

Keeping Merling instead?

 

[LJ11]

Dwan Edwards cut, I think he can play, just didn't fit and made too much.

 

[Buckethead]

Raji's just fat, not injured.

Thought Muir was worth keeping. Boo.

 

[Futurevoid]

Ready KAFKA!?

@Jeff_McLane: Trent Edwards has gotten the nod over Mike Kafka for 3d QB spot, I'm told. #Eagles try to trade Kafka.

 

[TheLegendary]

Keeping Merling instead?

Who?

 

[Bowser]

Ready KAFKA!?

I hear the Cards are in the market for a QB!

 

[eznark]

Who?

The Dolphin that we signed this Summer. Phillip Merling. I thought those two were basically competing for the last DL spot.

 

[yankeehater]

Ready KAFKA!?

Eagles are making good moves today. I was glad to see Hanson gone and Edwards definitely should have gotten the 3rd QB spot.

 

[Bowser]

Aaron Wilson ‏@RavensInsider
49ers trade safety/special teams ace Colin Jones to the Carolina Panthers, according to a league source.

FMT who the fuck is this guy?

 

[TheLegendary]

The Dolphin that we signed this Summer. Phillip Merling. I thought those two were basically competing for the last DL spot.

Yeah. I recall the name (not going to pretend I keep that much track of the depth chart that far down though) but I hadn't heard anything positive about him. Muir had a little buzz at least even if he wasn't the best fit in our D. And he looked good yesterday

 

[Futurevoid]

1st rounder and Adrian Wilson. Get'er done!

Edwards is warmed over shit. Not that Kafka is really any better to be frank but if you're down to your 3rd QB, you're fucked anyway.

I like Hanson. I have for awhile, now. I know you drafted his replacement but I'm honestly hoping the Giants give him a look for some CB depth behind Hosely in the slot.

 

[MechDX]

Jonathan Grimes cut by Texans. Kid can run the ball very well and plays with good intensity. Would be asset to a team needing a solid RB.

 

[eznark]

Yeah, I'm surprised as well if that's how it goes. I honestly thought Merling was cut last week!

Panthers beat writers are saying that we may be interested in Hanson (were looking into trading for him before last season).

 

[Nori Chan]

Raiders will have a better record than the Chargers this year.

And the Jets are going to lead the league in passing TDs.


oh wait i thought we were naming stuff that was never going to happen

 

[ATF487]

Not sure if I like Branch being cut, he seemed to be less and less of a factor but he was always a great route runner and knew the offense well.

 

[squicken]

Eagles cut list is out:

S Oshiomogho Atogwe

Mikell in, Atogwe out. Neither very good

 

[DiZ_O]

Nothing like coming home to news of Seneca and the Browns parting ways. Thanks goodness. Also, since these are the Cleveland Browns, this will probably be the only good news all season long.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Ravens cut Bruce Figgins.

No idea who he is, but solid name.

Just like his dad. Talks a damn good game but can NEVER follow through.

Just like his dad. Talks a damn good game but can NEVER follow through.

Buddy only ever talked about building great D's and he definitely backed that up. He just had the bad luck of being stuck with Randall at QB.

 

[Kave_Man]

James Dockery cut as well from browns.

 

[squicken]

He has Tebow now. How could it not be his best team?

 

[eznark]

Just like his dad. Talks a damn good game but can NEVER follow through.

Except that time he won a Super Bowl.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Is Ocho still out there?
