Knew nothing about the guy. Sounds like a good back up plan if Reece continues to play hardball. We really need to get Reece a new contract, but at the right price. In Reggie we trust.

RAIDER NATION!!!!

I can’t tell if this is a comment or an indictment of the American education system?

Schmitt is a solid fullback, and an old school Raider type player. Should be a win-win, not to sound like Carson Palmer.

I love that you like to hate! It shows how much of a dumbass you are for talking smack. Your team sucks ass. The panthers couldn’t finish when they had the talent. No Lombardi to show off.

Keep hating on the Raiders. Even are horrible seasons are more exciting than your best ones.

Your inane rants are laughable. Whoever slapped you around in life must have been wearing RAIDERS gear. Lol- looking forward to your next post you troll of the highest order.

Hopefully he can contribute, if he makes the team.

Big Reg will make sure to take care of Reece. He is arguably the 2nd or 3rd best offensive option, he needs to be in camp.

He can catch, block, run, and is way faster on the football field than in the Underoo Olympics.

He has ‘tweener size too at 6’3″/265lbs.

And- he’ll play ST like it’s the SB on every play.

He can even LS.

I know the Raiders haven’t done much lately but this is a franchise with three Lombardi trophies, I forget how many trophies do the Panthers have? I don’t know of too many Raider fans that troll the Panther articles, what’s your obsession anyways? Closet fan or what?…

I never understood why more plays weren’t made to get the ball in Reece’s hands last season. He out-runs linebackers and out-muscles d-backs.

Pure attitude and nastiness at its best. At WVU Owen had a bad habit of breaking his metal face mask on the opponents head. I believe he was known as “The Runaway Beer Truck”.

I love this addition to the silver and black, it’s about time……
