Bottom Line

The fight between Sio Moore and Miles Burris was stopped early so that one it didn’t make from the previous article. And it’s not worth talking about the corners because while Chimdi Checkwa and D.J. Hayden can’t answer the bell, the ones that did aren’t fighting very well. So we will wait until either Checkwa and-or Hayden comes back or until someone from the current group starts ballin.’

But there are some good fights going at the receiver positions that will likely come down to Round 4. I’m really looking forward to McFadden vs Jones-Drew and Barnes vs Jackson as they are all good players. We’ll see who’ll even available to play corner for the Raiders as whoever is out there is bailing opposing quarterbacks out by giving up short, quick completions before the pass rush can get there.

The coaching staff has them playing way off and could help by calling for some bump-and-run but that’s another article.

Just win baby.
