And so it starts. Underclassmen have until January 15th to declare their eligibility for the 2011 draft, and it’s already starting. University of Maryland wide receiver Torrey Smith has announced on his Twitter page that he’s done with the NCAA and is going to head to the NFL. “I’m forgoing my last year of eligibility [...]
We’ve been saying for a while now that Oakland Raiders WR Louis Murphy is the Raider receiver to won in fantasy football. Everything we’ve seen and heard points to that, and Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune supported that in a live chat on the paper’s website today. According to McDonald, Murphy will most likely [...]
According to beat writer Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune, the Oakland Raiders first-round pick from a year ago is starting to get it. He says that Darrius Heyward-Bey is looking a lot better than he did last year. “Can’t roll my eyes anymore when Tom Cable tells how much Darrius Heyward-Bey has improved,” McDonald [...]
We came across several items for the Oakland Raiders recently and since not all of them are worthy of their own post, we thought we’d put some bullet points together. Of course you saw that they acquired Kamerion Wimbley from the Browns yesterday, but here are some others:
Oakland Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey took a less-is-more attitude towards the New York Giants this week. He’s pretty much taken that approach to every game he’s played this year. The #7-overall pick once again caught zero passes in an NFL football game. To date, he has caught two passes for 36 yards, showing the world [...]
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. [...]
Look at us posting something positive on the Raiders. To all the Raiders fans out there that constantly flood our inbox with emails calling us Raider haters, well here is our chance to show you we aren’t. For some reason unbeknownst to us, we like to rail on Darrius Heyward-Bey. It’s probably because he was [...]
Alvin Keels, the agent for #6-overall pick Andre Smith, will meet with Cincinnati Bengals team officials on Sunday to see if they can get any closer to a resolution that would get Smith signed and into camp. We have a feeling it won’t matter. We all know how stupid Michael Crabtree is being in San [...]
This isn’t good. Oakland Raiders WR Chaz Schilens was having a nice camp and was the team’s #1 wide receiver at this point. Now, it seems that he has broken the fifth metatarsal in his foot and the Raiders don’t know when he’ll be back. Jerry McDonald announced this on Twitter: “Repeat . . . [...]
Actually, we should say Darrius Heyward-Bey is just not catching much of anything. In his attempt to wow the coaches at training camp, he might be pressing a little bit which is leading to a lot of footballs hitting the carpet. But, despite the hamstring injuries and dropped passes, Raiders head coach Tom Cable doesn’t [...]
Ah, the good ol’ Oakland Raiders. Beat writer Jerry McDonald says that right now Johnny Lee Higgins and Chaz Schilens are slated to be the starting wide receivers for the Raiders. That means that they have a #7-overall pick (Darrius Heyward-Bey) and a big money guy (they gave Javon Walker $16 million guaranteed last year, [...]
