Darrius Heyward-Bey thinks he had “solid” game Monday night

Oh here we go again. Looks like we are ragging on DHB again. Again, we have nothing against this kid, we just think #7-overall was way too high for him to be drafted. On Monday night against the Chargers, Oakland Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey was thrown the ball twice and he dropped it both times. Seriously. But what does he think about his performance?

“Did some good things, did some bad things,” Heyward-Bey said. “Pretty good grade but could be better. For the first game, it was solid.”

He says it’s because his just being out there changes things for his offense. His speed makes the safety account for him and that helps everyone.

“I’m just sitting back doing my job,” Heyward-Bey said. “That’s my job in this offense. That’s what I do.”

Your job as the #7-overall pick is to be a decoy and not catch the ball and make plays? Has someone told Al Davis this already or does he already know it? Just curious.

“When we watch film, that’s what I’m doing, my job,” Heyward-Bey said. “I don’t really care what anybody else thinks. As long as coaches see I’m doing the job they want me to do – they’re the ones paying me.”

What friggin’ film are you watching?!

“I’m not even thinking about the first catch,” Heyward-Bey said as he continued to sound more and more like he doesn’t understand the role of a high-end receiver. “People want to see the stats. Everyone wants to see the big numbers. But reality is, if you come in, put in the work and help the team win …

“If you look at it that way, it’s great. If you look at it the other way, you’re like ‘When is it going to happen?’ ”

Right, help the team win, Darrius. You didn’t win! You lost Monday night! You might want to save the “I did my job to help the team win” crap until after you actually win a game. It sounds better then. Sheesh.
