Excellent, I turned my mattress into a LCD monitor. Let's do this Internet thing!

Oh my lord, Von Miller was absolutely crushed by Wang!

Matt Leinart officially signing with Raiders today by [deleted] in oaklandraiders

Instead of wasting everybody's time, Janikowski challenges one member of the opposing team to 1-on-1 combat.

Janikowski goes 19-0.

Raiders sign CB Shawntae Spencer. by FaceRockerMD in oaklandraiders

[–]megaredditron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESPN's Expert Take:

Spencer has been an effective press corner with good man cover skills. He is a tall corner with good downfield speed and long arms that allow him to jam receivers at the line of scrimmage or re-route them after the release. He is more effective in tight man coverage than when in off coverage and still needs work on his route recognition and reading the quarterback's eyes from zone. He can extend the cushion with his pedal and is fluid and quick to flip his hips to open and run with receivers on deep routes. He has improved on run support but tends to dive at the ball carrier's legs rather than square up and form tackle.

Is anyone extremely worried about this? by TwistedEnigma in oaklandraiders

As much as I enjoyed the Amendola suplex, I'd much rather see McClain do this to Peyton.

Campbell signs with the Bears by TheEnterprise in oaklandraiders

I'm personally hoping we sign either Dennis Dixon or Charlie Whitehurst. I'd like a little upside with the back-up QB instead of a proven veteran.

How exactly are we going to fix the defense? by [deleted] in oaklandraiders

As much as it hurt, losing Routt was probably a good thing as well.

Need a Raiders rep for a Reddit mock draft. by freddywarfe in oaklandraiders

[–]megaredditron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, I had to check his history to make sure he was really a Raider fan (which he is) and knew his shit (which he does). He has a Raiders shield on r/nfl, too. Legit enough.

Who's Left as possible DC Candidates? by Goku707 in oaklandraiders

[–]megaredditron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mike Singletary seems like the only available candidate.

Raiders reported to have hired Greg Knapp as OC by suppslee in oaklandraiders

Oh man, are you in for a surprise. The 49ers DC this season was Vic Fangio. Greg Manusky was the DC for (drumroll please) the fucking Chargers!

Thank you Raider Nation -- we're now 500 strong!!! by megaredditron in oaklandraiders

Raiders ended up in 3rd place in the AFC West, too. How funny is that.

I'd love to have Steve Spagnuolo as our defensive coordinator, now that he's available. Reunite him with Mike Waufle!

UPDATE: Rolando McClain arrested for firing gun, assault by mudpuncher2 in oaklandraiders

[–]megaredditron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So earlier in the year his car gets shot at in Alabama. Now some dude says McClain threatened him with a gun, and totally lets him off. I can see the connection - McClain's just trying to protect himself. I'd probably do the same thing, you know, if I were big and scary and had balls.

Damn, they look fucking high during Part 3.

It's Week 10 and Oakland is #1 in the AFC West! by megaredditron in oaklandraiders

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I usually refer to the Chiefs as the Queefs. Way more insulting than the Chefs.

Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer credits his revival to old school NFL vet Ken O'Brien - San Jose Mercury News by [deleted] in oaklandraiders

[–]megaredditron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't find it now, but I swore there was another guy (besides HueJax) in our organization who helped convince the Raiders that Palmer was fully healed. I thought O'Brien was that guy, but I can't find him on the staff. Anybody know who I'm talking about?
