Reggie is building a team of hungry guys, This team is going to come out and shock the world..
If you remember nobody knew the players of the 2002 pats were.. All those guys were no names until they won the superbowl..
I can feel it… This is going to be the year!
The NFL will do everything they can to stop it, they are already throwing a monkey wrench into the Raiders schedule to give Raider opponents a advantage by making the Raiders have short weeks and flying across the country then playing at 10am Raider time, you know the flags will be out every time a Raider player movies his fingers…
This will not stop the Raiders, not with Dennis Allen at the helm.. This is a guy who made Tim Tebow look good. This is a man who made that Denver D look good at times… This is the man that will be holding the Lomardi Trophy Feb 3 2013..

Giants fan here, I actually liked Duke Calhoun. He was a solid special teams player and when he had to play a few games he caught some balls and did a nice job.

We just had depth at the position with devin Thomas Cruz nicks Hixon Manningham and Jernigan. I believe he actually almost made the team over Cruz, thank god he didn’t, but I digress. Nice addition for specials and can step up as a wr in a pinch.

This guy seems to be a practice standout, just cant translate it to the game field. Reggie just getting some bodies in.

He’ll compete with Eddie McGee for the 5th WR spot and special teams .. chances are he wont make the team, but he is good competition at the position. Look for the Raiders to add another WR after the draft.

—————————–

Not uncommon to carry 6 WRs. I believe for much of last year we may have even had 7 WRs on roster.

I expect both guys to make it unless they draft a kid or make another signing that beats one of them out.

Carson has been raving about McGee since he got here. Very rare for a practice squad guy to get that kind of attention from a start QB. Needless to say, McGee must be making a big impression and seems very likely to stick on the active roster this year.

Pardon me but I was unaware that the Raiders “have good depth at the position with Darrius Heyward-Bey, Jacoby Ford, Denarius Moore and Louis Murphy.” Tons of potential but “depth” really?

Help me out NYG fans, but wasn’t this guy pretty good at everything except catching the ball? I thought thats what the knock on him was. Either way, he’s got good size and from what I saw of him on the field, good speed, could be the new Housh for Carson if he can develop.

Saw a lot of this kid in last year’s preseason – and he did play well. RM is doing what he’s gotta do.

Duke Calhoun on the money shot!

Hands down one of the coolest names I’ve ever heard.

Sounds like a good signing. Raiders don’t need a veteran castoff to take snaps from the young, up and coming guys. Calhoun sounds like a guy with upside who can make a contribution on special teams. Exactly what the Raiders could use to round out the position.
