Ben's Buzz (West Teams) 3
Thank you readers for reading me and my brother's blog the last month or so, this should really help get more people reading. At #6 in our countdown on west teams I have the Oakland Raiders. Our whole entire family hates the Oakland Raiders because our grandparents loved the 49ers when they had Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Jerry Rice. Now back to the subject, the Oakland Raiders did exceptionally toward the end of last season. Everybody says the Oakland Raiders draft was horrible because they could've gotten Jeremy Maclin, or Michael Crabtree, but instead they got Darrius Heyward-Bay. This guy is not a bad player, there is some inconsistcey with him in is catching game, but he will definitley help in the return game. With Darren McFadden and Johnnie Lee Higgens with him in the return game the opponents won't be able to focus on one return man. It'll be like Earth, Wind, and Fire did last year by changing up the running game, only in this situation they use the return game. A stupid thing the Raiders did this offseason was get Jeff Garcia. The guy is probably going to retire next year so he won't do you any good. He still has some years in him, but he doesn't want to play back-up to an overated QB who's name is Jamarcus Russell. They could've started Jeff Garcia this one year over Jamarcus Russell, so Jamarcus could learn from a veteran leader, but they didn't do that. Instead now you're going to make a guy that can't win you many games and will continue to have losing seasons the next three years. The blocking game for the Raiders with Lorenzo Neal should be improved, but I'm giving them a 6-10 season. Lets hope all these Raider draft picks don't go to that crazy team's heads.
