No defense for Raiders in Dallas

All year long the Oakland Raiders have played bend but don’t break defense. On Thanksgiving Day they broke leading the way as the Silver and Black went down 24-7 to the Cowboys. The offense did little to help the cause. Tom Cable’s play calling didn’t even take his team across midfield in the first half.
But this [...]

Raiders have the blueprint to beat Cowboys

The Oakland Raiders have already proven they can beat the Dallas Cowboys in 2009. Back in August, these two teams tangled in a preseason tussle with the Silver and Black dancing off to the beat of a 31-10 victory.
The Big Gradkowski was kind enough to share his thoughts with JBB on that victory.

Mike Mitchell: “LeBron can maybe be on the practice squad”

If LeBron James fancies himself an NFL receiver, then consider Mike Mitchell among the unimpressed.
Paul Gutierrez of the Sacramento Bee caught up with Mitchell, who incidentally is getting some reps in at cornerback instead of safety (Mitchell that is, not Gutierrez. I highly doubt Paul G is suited for bump and run coverage). The former [...]

Nnamdi Asomugha named to “Dream Team for Public Service”

Nnamdi Asomugha is keeping some rare company these days. He’s already known as the best shutdown corner in the NFL. A defensive force so dominant that he did the impossible and kept Chad Ochocinco’s mouth shut for an entire Sunday afternoon.
After receiving a mega contact this offseason, Nnamdi also joined the upper 5% of the [...]

They knew the Eagles were caught with a John Marshall sucker punch back in October.
They knew Bruce Gradkwoski had a previous history of hunting big cats in the wild.
What they didn’t know was that sitting in the sparse crowd at the Coliseum on Sunday were the two most inspirational members of [...]

Bruce Gradkowski: The Bengal Killer

He’s done it before and he’s poised to do it again.
Back in 2006, rookie QB Bruce Gradkowski led the 0-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers downfield on a game winning drive to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals.
Now that the Big Gradkowski has taken the reigns from JaMarcus Russell, the 4th year vet is looking to notch another “W” [...]

The Miseducation of JaMarcus Russell

So, this is what it’s come down to. The number one overall selection in the 2007 NFL draft has been benched in favor of 194th overall selection in the 2006 draft.
How Bruce Gradkowski’s career QB rating of 58.6 has become favored over JaMarcus Russell’s 65.5 is a quandary that now reflects the sad state of [...]
