The Official 2011 Oakland Raiders offseason thread
- Thread starter Defy
- Start date
We got reece mode as our FB. He's more than capable even though Reece ain't ur traditional FB, but he did great for us last year. Maybe pick up a big ass blocking FB to switch it up but having McFadden/bush back there WIT Reece used as the potential lead blocker, decoy, or screen pass is gonna be very hard for a defense to figure out cuz any one of them have the big play potential, and they are all fast. McFadden/bush(or another RB if bush leaves) wit reece, u won't ever know who's gonna get the ball, opposing defensive players are gonna have stick to their gap and stay in position because our offense can give it to any one of them.
Reece ran a 4.4 in the 40 yd during the combine. He's more of a "H" back I guess. Played WR in college and throughout his career growing up but he's too big to play WR, and too small to play TE in the NFL so he got switched to FB. A 6'3 FB LOL for some reason I find that funny cuz FB usually are very thick n strong but rarely are they over 6' lol.

the schedule actually looks pretty easy if you ask me
I went through it real quick... and I think I only counted 8 games against teams with winning records... 4 of those games being against SD and KC, and we proved we could handle them last year
although the NFL changes so much every year... it's really hard to determine how tough it is
and I fuckin sweat the Texans might as well be considered a rival now... we fucking play them every single year

the schedule makers don't actually choose who we play... it's just the way it works out
we play the AFC South once every 3 years... the other 2 years we play them because we play the team from that division which seeded the same as us
last year we played the entire AFC South.... this year we don't, but the Texans were the 3 seed in their division like the Raiders were
we play every NFC team once every 4 years.... no matter what

Zach Miller switches agents
Raiders Pro Bowl tight end Zach Miller becomes a free agent whenever the lockout ends. And when that happens, he’ll have new representation.
Liz Mullen of SportsBusiness Journal reports, and we have confirmed, that Miller has switched from Athletes First to CAA.
The move gives CAA three high-profile Raiders free agents: Miller, cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, and safety Michael Huff.
It remains to be seen whether the Raiders make a serious run at signing any of them. It’s widely believed that the Raiders, who opted to void the final year of Asomugha’s contract, will offer a financial package comparable to what Asomugha is expected to draw on the open market.
Then again, the longer the lockout lasts, the less valuable Asomugha could be in 2011 to a new team. Which possibly would reduce what a new team would pay. Which possibly would give the Raiders an opening to keep him.
The same is true for most of the other free agents. The longer this mess goes, the lower the high end of the market will go.
So far, none of the free agents have been complaining about this, even though their shot at significant pay days has been delayed by seven weeks and one day, and counting.
