Typical Raiders News.

Thanks for bringing back the 40 times, Jeaux. When you posted 40 times, it was much easier to pretend you were just a cartoon character and it was easier to laugh at. The less 40 times you posted, the more the laughs were replaced with kind of a sad pity and reluctant knowledge that there's actually a human being behind those posts whose delusional world of Raiders dominance revolves around this:

4-12
5-11
4-12
2-14
4-12
5-11

 

Complimenting me is not going to change my position.
When Raiders beat the Giants at the meadowlands. Please have a little more class and not use stuff like the Giants were looking past Raiders.


BTW How Kevin Boothe doing???? when raiders switch schemes in was a very poor fit?

 

Well if you want the 29th ranked pass defense you play him. Lowery was so bad they had to bring IN TY Law to try and save the Jets season. ITs kind of funny that jet fans think Lowery proved them right. Were you watching the games.

Please Jets I hope Lowery still a key component of Jets secondary. He made Javon Walker, look like the old Javon Walker.

 

Well as least Syracuse University producing people with fine grammar, because they sure haven't produced NFl players recently. Listen how much you want to clean up my posts, with proper grammar. Im just the football authority. Ill make a deal. You clean up my post with proper grammar, and I will mentor you. Teach you everything I know about the game of football.

 

The Raiders will be lucky to win 5 games this yr and those won't be against either the jets or giants

 

The Giants won't look past the Raiders. They will be physically unable to with JaMarcus Russell on the field limiting their vision with his sizable girth.

Boothe is a backup RT & Guard. At guard he has been serviceable, but his RT skillset doesn't let him do much more than run block well. He only played RT because Guy Whimper (who can play both tackle positions) went down for the year. Now the Giants have Whimper back and drafted Beatty, so it is going to be tough for Boothe to make the team unless he really steps up his play as a guard.

 

:rofl::rofl::rofl:


That will take what... about thirty seconds?

 

I don't see how that's relevant. The fact remains that it was yet another wrong prediction by you. You said he wouldn't see the field - ever - and he ended up starting. That makes your prediction wrong wrong wrong.

 

Why must we all feed this troubled child?

 

It's the offseason, and it is entertaining.

 

The Giants have possibly the best front seven in the league on D. You still predict a win?

 

Why do you continually take shots at a former 4th round pick/ back-up defensive back? Surely w/ the collapse the jets had late last season you could have better insults than this?

 

Its relevant because no team D Lowery should be starting for in the league at CB. (especially doesn't play a zone defense) The Jets were so bad in the secondary that they had to resort to playing him in the secondary. Thus Jets had the 29th ranked pass defense. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken Shi%. Jets ever get a top 15 passing defense, D Lowery won't be playing Cb.

 

I don't remember you saying that it was predicated on the ranking of the Jets secondary.

 

YEs the Titans in early 2000 maybe little earlier . Had one of the best Dline . There secondary was poor(banged up) . Even great pass rushers need a couple seconds. You shorting the Qbs drops(three steps and ball out) Even the Giants Dline can't get there. Raiders have alot of Speed, WR and RB with serious size. You spread that Giant defense way out. Chaz schilens 6'4 225 4.38 , and DHB 6'2 210 sub 4.3 really wide Louis Murphy 6'3 200 4.38 in the slot TE Zach Miller 6'5 255 and Darren Mcfadden 6'2 210 4.33as the single back. With Russell the best arm in football. Quick slants BY Wrs. D Mcfadden and Zach Miller Giants Lbs aren't covering.
By spreading them out, their zone defense is really stretch. alot of soft spots to exploit. With Russell fastball basically a pitch and catch. Wind or no wind at Meadowlands.

 

All Im going to say Dwight lowery is starting at CB in your secondary, your in serious trouble. I believe that was one of many such statements I made on subject. Again jets finishing with the 29 ranked pass defense and them having to go out and Get TY Law to try and save their season(replace lowery who weveryone was abusing) Pretty much validates what I was preaching on this board. Again I been wrong on alot of things . harp on one of those but prettymuch nailed with my opinion of Dwight Lowery.


BTW Giant fan Nice article and thumbs up to Giant Wrs . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FORT LAUDERDALE — Louis Murphy has come a long way in four years at the University of Florida.

He began his career as a highly recruited bench-warmer, barely playing as a freshman and earning a spot in Urban Meyer's doghouse for disciplinary reasons.

Four years later, Murphy is a senior captain, the Gators' leading receiver with 611 yards and playing for his second national championship when Florida faces Oklahoma this week at Dolphin Stadium.

"How far as he come? About as far as any guy I've ever coached," Urban Meyer said last week. "He's a graduate, he's a champion and he's going to go play in the NFL. I'm very proud of him."

Meyer is even more proud of the way Murphy has handled himself since Valentine's Day of 2008.

It hasn't been easy.

Murphy's world came crashing down that day when his mother, Filomena, died of breast cancer at 47.

"That's mommy's boy," said his older sister, Chiriga Murphy. "They were very close. He's the only one that could get mom to say 'yes' when it was 'no.' "

On the outside, Murphy tried to keep it together. He went to class and lifted weights with his teammates, keeping his pain to himself.

But during the Gators' spring practice in April, he was clearly affected by his loss.

"He couldn't catch a ball. He wasn't running the routes right. He wasn't doing anything right," said Chiriga, 24. "And that was the breaking point for him."

Just as thoughts of quitting the team crossed his mind, Murphy got a call from Giants receiver Plaxico Burress, who is friends with several Gators through a hometown connection with Percy Harvin.

Burress called Murphy just to check in, but ended up being a shoulder for Murphy to cry on.

Burress was suspended by the Giants and has legal problems relating to an unlicensed gun, but the Murphys are forever grateful for the way Burress helped the Gators receiver.

"We got to know the real Plaxico," said Louis Murphy Sr., a pastor at Mount Zion Progressive Missionary Baptist Church in St. Petersburg. "All I know is the Plaxico that reached out to my son and tried to encourage him when he was going through a rough time."

After that phone call in April, Burress put Murphy in touch with Super Bowl hero David Tyree, whose mother died at the end of 2007, less than two months before Tyree's championship-defining catch.

Tyree offered more encouragement, telling Murphy to keep his faith in God and use football as an outlet for his frustrations.

"They helped me out. I love them, man," Murphy said. "David Tyree, he's like a brother to me."

Over Christmas break, the Murphys threw a graduation party for Louis at his father's church. Murphy wasn't expecting any surprises, but Tyree attended as a special guest speaker. He spoke about how proud he was of Murphy for persevering, and to watch out for the pitfalls that come with NFL celebrity.

"It brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart," Murphy said. "For David Tyree, out of everybody, to come to my graduation, it meant the whole world."

Murphy finished the regular season with 36 catches for 611 yards, and pointed to the sky in honor of his mother for each of his six touchdown catches.

Now he gets another crack at a national championship, and in three months should be a mid-round pick in the NFL Draft.

His mother's death has helped put everything in perspective.

"You know how young guys are, boastful, talking trash," Chiriga Murphy said. "But when my mother passed you could see his maturity level, he calmed down a lot. He really just took care of business and got focused. I think now he appreciates his opportunity more than ever."
