jordan is gone.
that was a nice read. mc fadden, fargas and bush is a stable of solid backs. bush is unproven but for them to let rhodes go they must see what most experts seen before he broke his leg. we should damn near lead the league in rushing this year and thats gonna give russell the safety valve he needs to develop. PLUS THOSE 2 BIG ROOKIE RECIEVERS! its gonna be an interesting season.

gregg knapp isnt calling plays.
hes coaching the line. kiffin call the plays and im sure knew he needed to bring in some big down field targets for russels cannon. hopefully these rookies play like jacksonvilles big recievers. knapp does his job well though. hes listed as o coordinator but thats not his actual duty.

Roster numbers
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, May 1st, 2008 at 12:05 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The roster on Raiders.com has assigned the following numbers to new draft picks:
No. 20–Darren McFadden
No. 33–Tyvon Branch
No. 82–Chaz Schilens
No. 84–Arman Shields
No. 91–Trevor Scott
The Raiders have made any official announcements regarding the signing of undrafted free agents, and typically don’t confirm such signings until they attend the rookie minicamp.
The Raiders rookie minicamp begins May 9.
Multiple outlets have reported the Raiders have signed 12 free undrafted free agents, all of which have been posted on this blog. It’s unlikely that more than one will actually make the 53-man roster; most are hoping for a shot at the practice squad or an invitation to another camp.
The signees:
TE Chris Wagner, South Dakota State; LB Shane Simmons, Western Washington; LB Malik Jackson, Louisville; C Adam Spieker, Missouri; S Darrick Brown, McNeese State; QB Brian White, Portland State; TE Darrell Strong, Pittsburgh; OL Brandon Rodd, Arizona State; FB Matt Hahn, Penn State; DE Greyson Gunheim, Washington’ DE Derrick Gray, Texas Southern.
Darrick Brown is the prototypical Raiders free agent signing. He and his brother Marcus, who signed as an undrafted free agent with the Arizona Cardinals, are also track and field athletes. They rank 1-2 in the long jump in the Southland Conference, with Darrick’s best at 25-0 3/4 and Marcus at 24-5.
Darrick, 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, was the Southland Conference triple jump champion in 2006.
