Slade Norris, where have you gone?

2013 looks to be rough.

2014 is the true test.

Damn.

Like all the other O line members last year, he vanished under Knapp. Those 3rd and 9′s don’t help your pass blocking stats. (thanks Knapp)
Glad to get back to what they do well.

They are still getting killed by bad contracts. Maybe next year they can actually field an NFL team.. Can’t wait hope it happens soon because i’m tired of the current state of the team.

Watching this offseason unfold for the Raiders really shows just how much of a mess this team was.

I do enjoy feeling like every move made now has a purpose and the confidence that it is going to bring positive results with it.

A run at Winston or Vollemer would have been nice, but by re-signing Barnes it probably means that Reggie is looking for an OT prospect later in the draft to at least push Barnes in 2013 and hopefully replace him in 2014.

He’s a solid fill in guy at right tackle/ Guard. Hopefully we get a couple of Lineman in the draft.
