i question your ability to analyze football, and i definitely know you didnt watch more raider game tape than i did.

“more importantly, i saw him take a crappy Raider O line and turn it into a really good one.”
********************************************************
The O-line was the weakest part of the team, marc.

All Raider fans know that, probably because we actually watch them play.

tombradyfumbled- why dont you give credit where it is due. “an okay line coach” i dont like the guy but he can sure coach an O line. although i find it humorous to say the least that you directly link good offensive lines with wining seasons. sometimes yes, sometimes no. more importantly, i saw him take a crappy Raider O line and turn it into a really good one.

as far as your man crush on Wisniewski, really? we all know the man was a great player in the league but playing and coaching are 2 different animals. he surely could be a great line coach but quit with the absolutes. there are no absolutes in the NFL, period. you and i have no idea if he can get those guys you named to become better players than before. you dont so why act like you do? because you are being a homer.

you forget that the loine already exceeded expectations. they are still not an elite group and we certainly do not know if they are better off without their zone blocking scheme. any betting man would say its a big gamble to abandon something that worked so well for the team, lets not forget where the strength of the team was last year.

plenty of great players have failed as coaches. plenty. some have succeeded, most dont make much of an impact. to say that a new line coach is already better than a seasoned vet line coach is an optimistic opinion at best at this point.

seriously, it sounds like Al Davis has brainwashed many of the raider faithful. like every move the man makes is praised even with bad results…we will see next year.

But he is not a good one. Al looked it up himself just recently. Cable has had 3 winnings seasons in 20 years as a coach. You don’t have a record like that if you have a good offensive line. I’ll take Wisniewski over Cable any day of the week. I already know what I’m getting with Wisniewski. He was in the probowl 8 years for a reason…. He could block. Can he teach our lineman to block? Absolutely. Can he teach Bruce Campbell how to become a probowl guard in the NFL? Absolutely. Can he teach 6 foot 6 inch 315 pound Bruce Campbell how to pull and lead block for Mcfadden? Scary! Throw in his nephew with a very high GPA at Penn State who would become the starting center. Veldherr LT, Gallery LG, Wisniewski C, Campbell RG, Walker or Henderson or Barnes RT… I say we get another RT in round 3. Then Al gets his fast guy in round 4. After that I say we draft LBs and CBs for depth. Nnamdi, Robert, Michael, Michael, and Richard stay.. The ones I failed to mention stay. Steve Wisnieswski is a great hire Mr. Davis. Why not bring in a former Raider great and pay him to coach instead of someone you think you might be able to trust that turns out to be a man that beats women.

name you a good coach who wasnt a player? how about most of them. most of the coaches werent NFL players and most of the best coaches in history were not. i hope you are joking. in fact, more times than not former player fail as coaches.

you cant name the great line coaches in history, or in today’s game? then maybe you shouldnt speak about a subject you know nothing about. thats what fools do.

nice last comment, like you actually made a point. this isnt a question on Cables head coaching ability, but rather his line coaching ability. he is great at it and im willing to bet you or any other raider fan than McFadden doesnt have a better year next year and the line overall is weaker.

raider17 you crack me up…….do me a favor and name me a good coach who wasn’t a player.

As far as cable being a premier line coach….really now….name all the other’s please…go back a hundred years if you have to…..exactly does anybody really know any premier o-line coaches

All i got to say about cable is 17-27. (it ends right there)

I know he was a strength and conditioning coach at Standford, but I wish I knew what else he’s been doing. Remember Art Shell, Jackie Slater, and Irv Pankey? We were a mess. Cable is a premiere line coach. He’s gonna be hard to replace.

Just Win Baby!
