Aaron Curry using stem cell therapy to help knees

Raiders linebacker Aaron Curry isn’t sure when he’ll be able to get back on the field, but he’s pretty sure that stem cell therapy will be the thing that winds up getting him back there.

Paul Gutierrez of CSNBayArea.com reports that Curry has received the therapy on both of his knees. Bone marrow from his hips was used in the treatment and Curry told Gutierrez that it is the only thing he’s tried that has helped him feel better. Curry is still working out on the side during Raiders practices and said he’ll only return to practice when he’s fully able to help the Raiders.

“My goal is to get healthy and just go out there and be violent, be fast, be a pain in the offense’s butt and whatever I have to do on the defense, do it,” Curry said. “And do it full speed. I can’t do that until my body says it’s ready.”

The treatment has been popular with Oakland athletes. Linebacker Rolando McClain said that the treatment helped his legs feel better earlier this offseason and A’s pitcher Bartolo Colon has credited stem cell treatment on his shoulder with saving his baseball career.

With McClain facing a possible suspension under the Personal Conduct Policy and Oakland short on linebacking depth, the Raiders need Curry to be healthy for the start of the season.

the thing is is that people are gonna have to cut their tailgating shorter cause its gonna take fuckin 20 minutes to get into the damn stadium waiting in line for people to get patted down, checked, and then emptying there pockets and taking off their belts so they can go through a god damn metal detector.

Hopefully they get smart and just use metal wand thingys

^ how do you figure? this division is up for grabs, and now with mathews being out 6 weeks for the dolts, makes it even a tighter race. i dont think the broncos will run away with it like everyone thinks in the media, but i could be wrong. but IMO we have the players to make the playoffs, its just weather they learn the new systems fast enough to successfully win enough ball games.

Like I said last season, 2 years top and Raiders will be in the playoffs under GM McKenzie and Coach Allen ...

Once they hit a full draft and patch those holes, the Raiders will be the team to beat in their division..

Raiders new SLB Philip Wheeler is a different player than nickel-rusher Kamerion Wimbley _ but much more versatile. Makes plays every day

we have playmakers. shaughnessy will help. and a revamped scheme will do wonders. remember we had chuck fuckin bresnehan as the DC last year
new scheme new players.... defenses dont come togethor overnight, or over a matter of a few months in this case...

only time will tell though, I want to believe we'll have a good defense, but with what weve got, im gonna have to believe it when I see it. Hopefully ill see some of it on monday.
