OFFICIAL OAKLAND RAIDERS 2008 SEASON THREAD
- Thread starter Meta4iCAL
- Start date
Our play calling was decent for the most of the game, but down the stretch, going for passes on almost every 3rd and short was stupid. We have Fargas and McFadden for a reason.
Russell had a good game because he's settling down and maturing, not because of Lane being out or Cable being the new HC. He didn't force passes, and was patient. He needs to keep doing that, with short dumps and short routes to get himself comfortable.
Finally Walker does something productive; Good route running and that catch in the end zone was actually a difficult catch, because he bobbled it, I believe.
Also, on his last (I think) catch, a defender slipped, but good job of setting up in an open spot to make that catch.
Our defensive line was supurb for the most part, with lots of pressure on Favre. Our secondary was decent, until that last drive where they let the Jets waltz down the field to tie the game.

Russell = 50% on the year.
But...he was about 70% until late in the game, with 2 passes thrown away, and 2 dropped. He did have a really bad pass late in the game, which flew over the FB's head into the 5th row. LOL
But he's showing MATURITY, which is better right now for him than a strong arm or long bombs.

JRs final completion percentage was 56 at the end of the game.....
the same dude that has made threads and has constantly bashed a qb for a low completion percentage just said JR had "good stats" for the game.....
at this point of his career JRs %52 comp is LESS then VYs %57.......
yeahhhhh that

Mooreblock you have to be the stupidest mf on this board... yesterday Russell was 17/30 with 200 yards, 1TD and no picks. Was it a great game? No, but it was pretty good considering Russell hasn't even started a full 16 games yet... stop with the VY comparisons. Vince is on the bench for a reason and it's not because of his health!
lmao at you getting mad at the comparison.....im ok with VY on the bench untill his knee and hammy is 100 percent.....you on the other hand cant grasp the fact that all the shit talking you were doing has bitt you in the ass because the fact is JRs completion percentage is worst then "the worst starting qb in the leauge".....
lmao pot meet kettle tony......"good stats" huh? after all the shit talking you were doing? REALLY?

Just like I've been saying since the beginning of the season... peep the article:

Raiders notes; Walker lives up to his billing

OAKLAND – Javon Walker has been an easy target of jokes as a Raider.
For the $11 million signing bonus he received when he signed in March, the team's presumed new No. 1 receiver had only five catches in his first four games with the Raiders.
It also didn't help that former head coach Lane Kiffin questioned the mental state, conditioning and effort by Walker, who offered to return the $11 million and retire after struggling in training camp and being robbed and assaulted in Las Vegas in June.
But for one day, Walker looked like what Raiders owner Al Davis hoped he'd be.
Walker finished with five catches for 75 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 16-13 overtime win against the New York Jets at the Coliseum.
"They started calling my number and I started getting passes," Walker said. "They're finally letting me do more."
Walker, who has always said he had good hands, proved it by reaching back to catch an eight-yard pass for a touchdown in the third quarter. He also made a key grab for 16 yards on the first play of Raiders' game-winning drive.
Raiders interim head coach Tom Cable called Walker's play "marvelous."
"I think he just stepped up," Cable said. "I think he played like he's supposed to play and I'm awful proud of him."
The Raiders have searched for a go-to receiver since trading Randy Moss last year. So they'll be expecting more of the same from Walker.
"I know what I (was) brought here for," Walker said. "When you are brought in for a specific reason you don't want to let anybody down. That's my goal."

so you are happy your #1 getting paid more than most other wideouts in the game still didn't eclispe 100 yards?
He's getting paid like a #1 but performing (inclusing yesterdays 75 yards) like a 2 or 3
oi mean he was only 16th on weekly leaders with 2 teams still to go and behind sich great passing teams as 2 kc cheifs, a baltimore player as well as a bear
