Kwame Harris is a classic Al Davis former first rounder pickup. He’s gonna pick up Alex Smith pretty darn soon too.

Al Davis proclaimed Henderson was going to be great during the Kitten presser.

But why worry about the facts right?

It’s never good to air dirty laundry from the family out in the public. All Al did was embarrass himself today. I shake my head in embarrassment for the Raider Nation. Tell me if there is one organization in the world that do stupid and classless things like this?

If Al hated Cable’s flaws so much, why didnt he fire him last year? Why didnt Al fire Kiffin in the offseason? He waited for personal vendettas at the expense of the team and fans. He could careless about winning. He only takes credit for last year’s draft but how about the previous 6 years? You’re just another sheep. I was once a sheep but no more!

However, in the end he wasn’t an “Al Davis Guy” and wasn’t able to win with what is arguable a very talented roster now (especially after the 2010 draft).

Once again he is very similar to Joe Bugel (Great OL Coach, but marginal HC).

Now it is time to see what Hue Jackson can do.

BTW:

@richm2256…Thanks for proving to Raider Nation that you truly don’t know what you are talking about.

Al answered the question that were ask. He did set out to blast Cable.

1-did AL break Hansson jaw that caused hours and hours of leagal fees?
2-Did Al assault a women like Cable?
3-Did Al bring his girlfriend on away games like Cable did?
not only that but Cable had the 6th highest scoring offense in the legue and could figure out to beat teams with losing records. Cable was hugging Jacksonville players after they just eliminated us from the playoffs. Cable is nothing more than a Wife beater, he brought nothing to the team. He couldnt even handle the offensive line this year. Jackson brought in his own blocking scheme and got away from Tom Cables bull crap zone blocking…….bye Cable dont let the door hit you in your big arse…..

AL did nothing wrong today…he just answered question that were ask by the press…it’s not his fault some cant handle the truth.

If your team is running a zone scheme then he is an above average coach but if your team is a power blocking unit then he’s dreadful and cannot coach up anybody. Basically, since he’s going to Seattle, he should be able to do some good things with Okung since he’s more finesse and a fit for zone blocking compared to brute strength and mauling.

Tom Cable inherited a lousy mess in Al v. Kitten. He inherited what will prob be the worst draft pick ever in JaWalrus Russell. He made them compete in Dec every year and stopped the label of “laughingstock” of the NFL. How many probowlers have Al drafted in the past 7 years?

I wish TC all the best. Seattle is lucky to have him.

I don’t know if Cable is an exceptional line coach of not, but he doesn’t have any trouble getting work as a line coach, so he’s either good at it, or he just calls somebody and says, “Hire me or get used to eating through a straw.” Davis is the guy that retained Cable after the jaw-breaker-wife-beater stories came out, and only fired him because he didn’t beat Jacksonville and Miami and San Francisco. And maybe Arizona. He didn’t get fired this year because he couldn’t control his temper last year. Al is just being a douche.

Seems like all our coaches are leaving except the one who needs to go the MOST…..Gus Bradley!

Or at least adopt a whole new defensive approach.

How about we hire a DC who actually isn’t shy about MAKING our CBs PRESS COVER receivers, instead of always playing 7-10 yds off!

You could see how our receivers were stifled getting off the line in the Bears game when they pressed us…hmmm, probably bc we’re not used to fighting off the press at practice.

If Bradley is a proponent of the “Tampa 2″ defense then how about ACTUALLY scheming up to the aggressive philosophy of the Tampa 2 that Tampa Bay ACTUALLY utilized during their SB run with Gruden!

I just don’t get it!

“What Tom [Cable] is, he’s an exceptional line coach,” Jackson said.
—————————————————————-

I don’t know this guy and I already don’t like him.

Why would ANY new HC feel the need to disparage the man who’s job he just took, his old boss, at that?

Tacky, tacky, tacky…….

Sorry Raider fans, but I hope this team goes 1-15 next year and comes in SECOND in the draft. And this is from a Pat’s fan who’s team is GETTING that pick!

*******************************************************

Actually Pats “fan”, you guys get the 17th pick of this years draft from us (not the top 5 pick you fools thought you’d get). Thanks for Seymour by the way…totally worth the 17th pick.

Funny thing is that our line sucked when Cable coached the Oline. Then he took over the offensive play calling last year and our Offense was 31st in scoring….Guess what happens when you hire a good coach? Your Offense goes from 31st in scoring to 6th.

Guess what Hue Jackson did this year? He uninstalled Cables Zone Blocking and brought the Blocking Schem from the Ravens to the Raiders….
So good luck with Cable, he is not even a good OLINE Coach.

Cable’s a good guy…but did it have to be someone from Raider nation!

But I admit, our O-line is already better with this hire and he’ll definitely put fire in their asses.

Now our O-line will actually give a damn if Matt gets sacked (Spencer and Locklear)!

But Lock will be long gone by then anyway….

This is an EXCELLENT move for Seattle.

The next non-surprise should could when the next CBA takes effect. If Robert Gallery is allowed to become a free agent under the new CBA rules, then it’s a pretty safe bet that he becomes the ‘Hawks future LG. When Unger returns next season, this line will have at least three solid pieces here. A healthy Okung, Unger and Gallery isn’t a bad start at all. If Pete wants to keep Locklear, then I’m sure they can swing that deal. The big zero is center. Spencer gets blown into the backfield like he’s been hit by a Yugo or something. Cable does know his O-line and will maximize whatever Seattle gives him. Once you’ve proven that you can work your magic in Oakland, your kung fu is good anywhere else in the league.

As a Raiders fan, I begrudgingly admit this was a great move for Pete Carroll and Co. If Gallery ends up in Seattle, Raiderkarma strikes yet again.
