That guy had a ridiculous unnecessary roughness penalty in Sunday's game. Insert joke about fitting in with the Raiders here.
That would be horrible for Raider, Bronco, Chief and Charger fans. The Raiders biggest rivalry in the division changes every few years time but, even with this long period of being pathetic, every other team in the division counts the Raiders as their biggest rival.
decent article, but a lot of guessing by the writer. has Hansen shown he has a good inside beat on this stuff? it's clear he would prefer they stop running Mcfadden and give the ball to one of the other backs, but then later suggests getting Mcfadden space to run should be a priority. I guess he meant getting any back space is a priority. totally agree with him on Reece utilization on the run game and since Sparano is expected to focus on the run game this will probably be the case. i doubt they win this weekend, but let's see if they can look less incompetent than they have so far in the season.
This Raider fan wishes I could agree with you a little. The Raiders are in shambles. Very little talent on both sides of the ball and a new HC. SD wins by 14.
I can't find any tweets about RBs at practice today.
I was flabbergasted they didn't cut him after that. Says a lot about the tolerance there.
The Patriots needed LB help and they had to cut someone to make room. Patriots really wanted Thompkins to make it back to their practice squad. They didn't want to lose him.
I don't buy it. If they really liked him, they would have found a way to keep him. Its just a testament to how much talent is lacking on the Raiders roster.
It's rarely that cut and dried. They like them all, that's why they haven't cut them prior. The decision is frequently about who they think they have the highest likelihood to get through and/or the alternatives if they do lose him. They had another guy in Tyms that they were high on too, so their backout plan could easily have been to try to sneak Thompkins though and if it didn't work, they have a fallback.
Who says that it is a given? It seems like Davis just said he would be open to it?
Not sure how the Patriots would ever hope to keep him on a practice squad. Seems the cut-and-dried situation is that instead of taking a lower pay and suiting up every day except Sundays for the Patriots, Thompkins took a higher paycheck as an active player with a good chance of seeing meaningful play on a squad looking to redefine themselves.
and that he won't make any more money....or that he couldn't voluntarily take less money from the pats to stay right?
CARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
