OAKLAND RAIDERS OFFSEASON THREAD
- Thread starter Solitary 1
- Start date
the injuries hurt.
but i doubt we will be that pass heavy come the regular season.if that touchdown to miller gets in then theres not really too much negatives to talk about except the injuries. we already know our defense is tough. offensively even though russell looked average he was comfortable and made his proggressions without panic. im really not worried. we will be solid. w/l in the regular season is the only ones that matter. ill see you guys sept 8.

and the Raiders DO have a playoff shot...
they probably won't go but stranger things have happened
New England, Pittsburg, San Diego are pretty much locked up to win the divisions...
The AFC South is a toss up between Indy and Jacksonville... whichever one doesn't win the division will most likely get the first Wildcard spot
the other spot could go to the Jets, Bills, Titans, and behind them I think could be the Raiders or maybe Browns
Again... I'm not saying it will probably happen... but it isn't crazy... we got a pretty easy schedule this season... if Russell can get it together a little more and play at least decent our run game and defense will take care of the rest

RAIDERS CUT COOPER, SHUFFLE ROSTER
Posted by Tom Mantzouranis on August 26, 2008, 11:46 a.m.
In trimming six players off their roster, the Oakland Raiders have let go a notable name to fans who appreciate the small points of the game.
Special teams gunner Jarrod Cooper was let go on Monday. Cooper never made an impact as part of the 11-man defense but did a good job of altering field position in an important but often thankless role. The emergence of Tyvon Branch, who can play gunner and has the talent to contribute on defense, made Cooper expendable. He’s expected to retire at 30 after seven seasons in the NFL.
The team waived linebacker Grant Irons and defensive end Greg Spires; and have placed Drew Carter, fullback Oren O’Neal, and cornerback John Bowie (who was acquired with Oakland’s compensation for Randy Moss) on the IR.
Fullback Luke Lawton, who was traded from the Colts to the Eagles this offseason and then released, was brought in to replace O’Neal. But with Justin Griffith at fullback and the team experimenting with moving Michael Bush there, this is probably a temporary stay. Also signed were defensive backs Marviel Underwood and Nate Lyles.
