We need a spark in the return game. DMC and Ford aren't coming back this year. Them dude cant even run without being sore the next day.
Thats some bullshit for fining boyd for that hit
Raiders safety Tyvon Branch may have put himself in the picture for returning kickoffs as a result of a 70-yard return against the Detroit Lions on Sunday that was called back because of a helmet-to-helmet block by teammate Jerome Boyd.
Unbeknown to coach Hue Jackson, Branch returned six kickoffs for the Raiders as a rookie in 2008 before being lost for the season with a shoulder injury, and had returned kickoffs in college at UConn.
He'd fielded a few kickoffs in practice but was forced into action because of a concussion to return specialist Bryan McCann.
Jackson said one of his players -- he can't recall if it was Shane Lechler or Taiwan Jones -- told him, "Coach, watch this. It might be a touchdown" before Branch fielded the ball.
"He comes running down the sideline, I go, 'You've got to be kidding me.' This guy's electric returning the ball,'' Jackson said.
"It was fun, man, it was crazy, because I was just talking to Lito (Sheppard) about that,'' Branch said. "I miss returning. I actually got one in a game.''
Branch took the ball 5 yards deep in the end zone and made it to the Detroit 35 to start the second half -- which would have been a nice bit of momentum had it not been for Boyd's crushing helmet-to-helmet block.
Jackson said he plans to use Branch again, but he'll probably pick his spots. McCann has received medical clearance to practice, and Branch is already an every-down player on defense (leading the Raiders with 98 tackles) and serves occasionally as the special teams gunner as well.
Judging from Boyd's Twitter account, he got fined $20,000 by the NFL and isn't of the opinion his block was illegal:
"What's the point of even playing football to get fined $20,000 for a legal but hard hit!!!!! Might as well put flags instead of pads on us.''
Running back Darren McFadden and wide receiver Jacoby Ford, who jogged Tuesday, were not present when practice commenced Wednesday.
"I think they are a little sore today,'' Jackson said. "They ran quite a bit yesterday and they were on it pretty good.''

youre really reaching with that one. I was looking at the background of the picture, not at the homosexuals, like you were. I interned at the DA in the elder abuse outreach department in like 2005 so i could get job experience so that i could get a high paying job after that.....something you would know nothing about. Lol @ you for researching me.
And im not a homosexual, i fuck with hot chicks damn near every day.
