J Caro asked in SportsFootball (American) · 1 decade ago

Are Raiders heading in the right direction?

They won two in the row and knocked the Bucs out. They had several 4th Quarter melt downs this season yes, but they have gutted some games out. Russel has shown some growth and may lead this team. Get him a receiver to match his arm strength and something can really flourish So Raider fans what do you think?

haters need not apply cause your ignorant anyways

    Their O-line has improved the last two games since they took out Kwame Harris and put in Super Mario Henderson. JaMarcus Russell had enough time to set his feet and look at all his receivers. They will be a lot more explosive when they give McFadden more touches.

    the raiders are not headed in the right direction.

    They'll waste money for players who aren't worth it in the off season.(see D. Hall- T. Kelly- J. Walker)

    Although they have a core of young players with upside, Al Davis wants to win now and will overpay players that will cripple his franchise.

    As much as i love the black and silver, they are doomed until Al stops making the calls

    Well at least you're not Detriot. The Raiders are seriously shy of several players to bring them back to the greatness they once held years ago. I would like to see them back! I remember teams were scare of them! They were tough and played HARD!

    I find it hard to say that anything the raiders have done under al davis is in the right direction.

    it can only get better. I have the Raiders drafting 14th overall.

    14th pick Oakland Raiders: James Laurinitis LB Ohio State

    yea, your thinking in the right direction.The Raiders will most likely pick up Michael Crabtree, and Russell, most likely will throw the ball his way more than Zach Miller.And if we use McFadden and Bush more, we will be a pretty dominant team.

    Lets just see how they treat the draft and the offseason. Making trades and drafting some good guys wouldnt hurt.

    maybe al davis needs to miss more games...

    yeah they are improving i think. that was a good win today. if their division is just as weak next year, who knows, they could win their division.....i do like their new coach so far
