What's wrong with asking that? Quit being a fucking moron. Anyways, the reason I ask is because Rolando McClain was so highly touted coming out of College and all I hear is him being blasted on 95.7 so I asked that question to you Raider fans who know more about the team and it's players.

and to answer your question McClain is not "straight up garbage". since he has been back these last 2 games we have won. the D has played better with him in there. him numbers are not great but if you watch the D with him in there they play alot better

Has McClain really been that bad? They were going in HARD on him on 95.7 calling him "straight up garbage".

He's been ok to good. Not the impact player we envisioned when we drafted him at 7th overall, but definitely coming along and a quality player.

My biggest knock on him is that he has difficulty shedding blocks.

He's very strong in pass coverage.

the penalties were bullshit....some of them phantom...but its the Raiders, we get some penalties against us just for reputation alone.



Then again there are those viscous unnecessary hits that you still love to see like the mcclain bodyslam.....lol

Just watched the game not too long ago and glad I was workin. This game like for most part of this season would've gave my old fatass a heart attack. These penalties are problematic whether they are bullshit calls or not. Injuries suck bigtime, and watching that knee to the back of the neck was pretty hard to watch. Glad he made it on the plane with the team, hate to see the kid end his season like that. As much as I want mcfadden back I think another week will do him better. We need him healthy for december and possibly post season! Glad seymore sat out too we need him healthy for next Sunday. I don't think bringin in another wr in place of dhb/ford would be beneficial, id say bring in a decent kicker and let jano rest that hammy....

I'm glad Hue Jackson called out the refs. He might get fined for it, bit I love the fact he put em on blast.... Hue is the fuckin man

I know not all the penalties can be blamed on the refs... but their was some bullshit calls

and that's awesome that Cutler is out next week... we've caught some huge breaks in teams that we face in terms of players getting injured

we still gotta worry bout Forte though... that guy is a beast this year

Since when has Mcclain been good in pass coverage. He blew the game winning touchdown agianst buffalo on a blown assignment.

He also missed an assignment today on a vikings touchdown.

As a Raider fan im not impressed with Mcclain as of yet.
