Not too mad.. lol I saw this over my buddies today elevated and just laughed.
The thing is I think if we were to be drafted in the actual draft he would be taken somewhere in the 4th 5th or 6th... and for Al that isn't too far off.
Not saying we couldn't have gotten somebody better but its whatever we will see how it works.
I have the feeling this will work out for us in the end. Pryor being tutored by Hue for a year and having a strong running game behind him will hive him the chance to succeed
Looks like Bruce Campbell is getting close to becoming a starter at RG. He looked good vs the 49ers and hopefully would be a upgrade over Carlisle.
Also it looks like either Kirk Morrison or Lofa Tatupu will become a Raider soon. It's unclear if it is to be a back up ILB (meaning Goethel moves to WLB), or they will compete with Groves at WLB.
Still no Pryor signing which is disappointing. Hopefully he can be signed sometime this week and be able to play in our last pre season game.
Looks like we signed vet CB Lito Sheppard. His 40 time must have impressed Al enough. Not sure if he has anything left on the field
Also Terrelle Pryor will be wearing #6, despite #2 being open. Seems like he is just copying LeBron wearing 6 but hey if he plays anything like LeBron out on the field I will be very happy
Taiwan Jones for you guys in crazy impressive, his open field speed is really something and he is not afraid to get hit and break some tackles, that appears to be a great draft pick and should have a good year. Impressive player!
And Derek Hagan is a man among boys in that game, big physical guy, shows that breaking tackles and being physical can be even more important that just straight up speed.
Tyvon Branch is crazy impressive as well, very good looking safety that is tough!
Hopefully once teams have to cut down to 53 players that a few CB's will be on the market. It would be great to get a guy who has some expirience. There is no way the coaching staff is comfortable with DVD starting
Here is a good video of what Taiwan Jones did against the Saints. The guy has so much speed, we might have the best talent 1 through 3 at RB in the NFL.
Also looking a forward, if Jones really shows us he is talented enough to be a #1 or 2 guy we could try and trade Michael Bush. I hope there is a way to keep all of them but with all the other needs we have we could end up getting a high pick or starting caliber player for him
Good news from camp, CB Chris Johnson is back practicing and should play inthe opener. Also John Henderson is on the field as well so hopefully we can help our run defense when he is ready.
First cuts were today, no big surprises yet. Once we go from 80 to 53, I expect us to cut Mike Mitchell or put him on IR possibly. Rumors are his injury could be serious and we like Boyd enough to cut him. We will see though
