- Thread starter Tony
- Start date
im not talkin about sitting out the whole season, im talking about sitting out for negotiations....see the raiders fucked this up for him too. of course he is gonna want to get paid as much as dhb did...its like when youre at work and the lazy ass fool that doesnt do shit is getting paid more than you and you know youre a better fucken worker..same scenario
i agree with you that things always go first circle, but what do you know about the chargers that makes you say the window is closing? or did you just hear that on espn......and please dont use the word emerging and raiders in the same sentence. They havent emerged for shit, at least not yet.....ill give you props if they do this season and ill call it like i see it but not yet

Heyward-Bey's catch excites Cable

(08-26) 21:32 PDT -- Rookie Darrius Heyward-Bey ran right as he reached back to his left, all the while starting to fall down on a pass route over the middle.
This is the exact sort of play that spelled incomplete pass all of training camp, particularly for a wide receiver who struggled enough to make the easy catches, never mind the spectacular.
Not this time. Heyward-Bey came down with a tumbling catch in traffic, much to the delight of his teammates and coaches during practice Wednesday in Napa.
"He had a great day of catching the ball," coach Tom Cable said. "Right after he caught it, I said to him, 'Your mistake is you showed me you can do that and, so now, the expectation goes up. That's who you are. That's what you're capable of.' "
That's why the Raiders drafted him with the No. 7 overall pick of April's draft, when most everyone thought they were nuts. Only now is Heyward-Bey starting to make common and difficult catches alike while limiting his daily drops to one, maybe two a day.
"It's a catch that needed to be made," Heyward-Bey said. "Ran a play, caught it, whatever."
If only it'd been that easy all the time.
For weeks, Heyward-Bey's track speed was hindered because he focused so hard on securing the ball or running the perfect route. He often waited a half-second after the catch before putting his speed to use.
The sooner Heyward-Bey can catch-and-run in one fluid motion, the sooner he can be a legit downfield threat and not a $23 million decoy.
"Catches like that, they build a lot of confidence," Cable said.
Player swaps: The Raiders signed cornerback Mike Hawkins, who is in his third NFL camp this month, and claimed Dolphins defensive tackle Joe Cohen off waivers.
They released cornerback Jason Horton and receiver Samie Parker.
Briefly: Starting free safety Hiram Eugene is out with a pectoral strain. ... Strong safety Tyvon Branch had two interceptions, with one in the end zone. ... Practice went 2 1/2 hours, the longest of training camp. ... The Raiders' 31-day stay at the Napa Valley Marriott ends with a morning practice today.

they fucked this up because they drafted a 2nd/3rd round player and paid him top 5 money. Maybe he wasnt a 2nd rounder to the raiders but every other fucken team in the league had him going that late. Dont you think agents know this? they totally use this to their advantage and hold teams hostage. basically telling the team, "this dude got this much and cant even hold a candle to my client, we need this much" so you get it??? then again who am i kidding, youre a raider fan. FUCKEN IDIOT
