Raiders Select Rolando McClain With the 8th Pick in the 2010 NFL Draft
Apr 23rd 2010
Posted by admin

The Raiders went with a defensive player in this year’s draft, selecting Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain at number 8 overall.

McClain is 6′3″ and weighs 254 pounds.  Below is NFL.com’s pick analysis.

Pick Analysis: The selection of Rolando McClain came as a surprise to some, but it’s a sensible pick based on the Raiders’ struggles against the run. McClain is a stout “Mike” linebacker with exceptional instincts. He gives Oakland a more physical presence inside. With the Raiders not satisfied with Kirk Morrison’s play, the decision to add McClain was a reflection of a desire to improve the middle of the defense.

Jan 26th 2010
Posted by admin

The Raiders hired former Ravens assistant Hue Jackson on Tuesday, hoping that he can help develop JaMarcus Russell the way that he did Joe Flacco.

Jackson also has history with Tom Cable, the two worked together at Cal-State Fullerton and Cal Berkeley.

Cable did not have an offensive coordinator in his first full season of coaching, so Jackson is expected to take over play-calling duties.

Raiders Lose Home Opener 24-20
Sep 15th 2009
Posted by admin

In what was expected to be a blowout, the Raiders showed that they are a much improved football team in a close loss to the Chargers at home.  The Raiders were essentially robbed of a touchdown when a 19-yard  pass to Louis Murphy was overturned because the ball supposedly came loose and hit the ground of the endzone.

The defense looked solid, and Richard Seymour added much needed help recording 2 sacks.  Michael Huff had an interception and LaDainian Tomlinson was held to only 55 yards rushing.

The Raiders are now 0-1 and play at Kansas City next Sunday.
