Because he is pouting, not because he is happy. If he just caame out and said "look, I'm not happy because they traded Pennington and I don't want to talk about it" I would be fine with him.
Kiffin has already lost faith in his team and went on public record with it. Some injuries already happened. They signed a #1 receiver (for absurd money) who unfortunatley is no longer what he was, signed Gebril wilson (for absurd money), and an unhappy Deangelo Hall. Pass blocking is horrible, and no one knows about Russell yet. They drafted a position they do not need, and let their defincies set themselves in a little deeper, and now they are forced to use a running back converted into a fullback. And the whole time old Al is up there thinking about making his horse GM, keeping his urine in jars, and obsessivley writing commitment to excellence and just win baby on the walls.
Your talking out of your arse. You obviously don't know what your talking about. Raiders have their starting FB- Probably the best all round FB Justin Griffith(ever hear of him) Griffith more positional blocker than the devasting lead blocker Oren oneal was. Gibril wilson brings Raiders secondary to that next level. Will prove to be a great signing. Raiders offense will rely on its runn ing game- Raiders haven't even been cut blocking(a big thing in there blocking scheme) yet in the preeseason. Raiders pounding on a defense all day with their running game going to do wonders for their tackles in pass protection. The J Z connection going to be a lethal combination. Thats Jamarcus russell to Zach miller
All that and more is why they only have 2 offensive TDs and 4 FGs in three games. Riddle me this jeaux, If the raiders have that few scores, then one of two things. a)they get to the red zone but don't score. b)they don't even get to the red zone which is a pathetic offense. Neither of these will win you games. Which is it?
The Raiders beat writers are already calling the season a wash due to the head coach having no faith in his team. If my coach had no faith in me, I'm not playing for him either.
does dude really own namaths sb jersey.off the subject i know but was the most interesting thing i saw in the thread.
I pose a simple question for Jeaux. If the Raiders have a team full of superstars year after year, why do they continue to suck so hard?
More fair and balanced Raider coverage from the guy with the Raider picture in his avatar and Raider quotes in his sig. You're like Kathy Bates commenting on James Caan in Misery.
I assume you consider yourself a pretty knowledgeable football fan, right? Are you really comparing trying a 245 running back at fullback to playing Coles at TE? The original poster's point was (roll eyes) "here's yet another unhappy Raider." Seems fair to point out that Coles is unhappy. And he's far from the only unhappy Jet in the recent past. Who are you guys kidding?
I really don't have anything against the raiders, Jeaux brings it out. I just like that picture of Chrebet a lot, the whole little guy standing up to the big guy thing. My best friend is a bigtime raiders fan. I just take issue with morons ridiculing the jets unfairly and declaring every raider scrub a future HOFer. Also he makes ridiculous comments and reversals on everything. I'll give credit where credit is due, and currently the raiders deserve no credit except for their secondary. If it was ChargerJeaux, I'd do the same thing, except the chargers are currently good, so I'd be less voiciferous about it:up:
You can see how I'd get that impression, can't you? the avatar, the sig, and the way you come running like Usain Bolt every time Joe or one of your moderators starts a thread about the Silver and Black!
devastating?...fuck, your reality must be seriously warped....plus, you couldn't spell your way out of a 4th grade spelling bee, Jeaux.
who gives a shit what Kiffin says...he's on borrowed time..and he knows it. week 4 + Kiffin = unemployment line.
So the Jets are going to lose to James Lofton and his Oakland Raiders? And by the way, Joe is right about O'Neal. He drew a lot of comparisons to Lorenzo Neal as a blocker last year, and not just from "Raider people" either...
First of all...that statement right there just threw whatever credability you had right out the window....nicely done Secondly, it doesn't matter who's coaching the Raiders...hell, the old man can come down wearing his diaper, complete with whistle is his mouth..and coach the Raiders....they're still gonna lose badly...not only to the Jets...but to 95% of the teams on their schedule. The Raiders are a trainwreck...and have been for the last 5 years....i've seen nothing of significance done to help the Raiders in the offseason that would have us think otherwise for this season either. Wow...so they added McFadden...another HB.....clearly not a "need"...but Al did it anyways....brilliant. Plus the Javon Walker saga is hilarious...we don't really need to go there. Then there's DeAngelo Hall....who has ligament damage in his hand...which should hinder his INT statistics in a negative way, since he has to wear a cast for most of the season...once again, Al...money well spent....oh, and don't forget what a "locker room darling" Hall is too...good luck with that too. I could go on....but really...there's no reason to...i think you got my point.
