The Raiders are in need of a body at WR.

They loved him as the preseason progressed. As long as Pryor continues to show progress, they will keep him.

I’m super excited for Pryor potentially starting next year or the year after.

Those were “Big Reg” mistakes, not Al Davis mistakes.

Barksdale looked good at first, but either his heart wasn’t in it this year, he’s a bad fit for the ZBS, or probably both.

And Taiwan Jones is being ridiculously underutilized. Guy could be one of the most explosive players in the game, but he’s riding the pine because he bobbled two balls, which he recovered, in the opener.

It was not the most stacked roster in the NFL from the beginning. Also, the 2012 NFL draft class does not have anyone starting so do not blame that on Al Davis.

LB Miles Burris is starting. and looks very good and like he has a great deal of untapped potential.

btw, JB didn’t fit into last years PBS scheme either

Collectively that position is like “Toast II, the reincarnation of Elvis Patterson”. If the DL isn’t in Mannings jock from the start he will exploit that glaring weakness all day.

I can’t imagine he’ll be on the market for long.

Other 2011 draft class players: Chekwa on the practice squad, Wisnewski and Denarious Moore are starters, and Gordon, Ausberry and Jones all play regularly either on the offense or special teams. So Al Davis doesn’t get credit for drafting Moore and Wisnewski?

Surprised Chekwa wasn’t given another look given the fact that the RAIDERS are sans starting CBs.

Carry on Reggie.

Within two years 98% of the roster will be HIS players. Go Raiders! Just win, baby!

As for Barksdale: He was a symptom of Al’s later years. Al saw an athletic 325-lb SEC starter, and didn’t care that Barks had feet of concrete and couldn’t handle an outside speed-rush to save his life.

And so Reggie continues to get rid of the scholarship dead weight.
