it was a flawed way of saying it....good d's that keep the score low and make the pressure a lot lower on young qbs make a difference...
but the good d wont help him fit in that pass in tight coverage or make his long ball more accurate...
Vince has his come from behind victorys like any good qb....3 off the top of my head but im sure theres more

According to CBSSports.com, the Raiders recently sent a "scathing" letter to University of Tennessee president John Petersen regarding the school's hiring of Lane Kiffin.
"It is ... quite possible that during the period of time for which Kiffin is seeking compensation from the Raiders he was also actively supplying information about the team to its opponents," Raiders general counsel Jeff Birren wrote. "It cannot be in the best interests of the University to continue to serve as (Kiffin's) ally in his personal, though misplaced, war to rewrite the past." Due to his grievance over salary owed, Kiffin is scheduled to be deposed by Raiders attorneys next week.

Raiders agreed to terms with T Khalif Barnes on a one-year contract.
As stopgaps go, he's a better solution than Kwame Harris last year. But he's nothing special, and struggles in pass protection. JaMarcus Russell should still be rooting for Oakland to invest a draft pick at left tackle. At least Barnes will be motivated in a contract year.

I'm finna do more stubhub tickets this year......last year I copped 2 tickets in the black hole for $70 all together right before the game.....I didn't have noone to go with, so I just bought them both since the individual ones would've been at least $80 or more and be higher up.....I rolled some shit up but didn't smoke cuz I was running late and wanted to see as much of the game as possible.....turns out all the people around me didn't have lighters but had trees, so I smoked for free......
hit any smoking section at halftime.
i added a ticket to my package because the seat next to the three i have was available and will add another if the lady in the 1st seat doesnt renew hers. unfortunately i'm a blinded faithful at times, but there no place like a raider game come sunday. $827 is due the 27th or a third of my total cost.

Barnes deal shows Cable-Davis on the same page

In contrast to the ugliness of the previous regime between owner and coach, this is how the relationship is supposed to work.
Tom Cable got what he wanted in left tackle Khalif Barnes, according to an ESPN report. Al Davis got what he wanted, waiting until contract terms were favorable on a player who has had some off-the-field issues.
Barnes reportedly signed a one-year contract, meaning if he puts a good season together, he can seek bigger money next year when he will still be only 27 years old. From the sounds of it, Davis did a good job selling Barnes on that notion.
Having Barnes aboard will also keep a fire under Mario Henderson, and also ideally move Cornell Green to the bench, the role he was supposed to have for two seasons.
