You Want Respect? You Have To Take It!

This is a must win game! No If's, And's or But's about it!
Do you understand that Raider Nation? Hell, do you understand Raider Players and Coaches?

Losing this game would be the worst thing to do at this time. This isn't just for the AFC West standings. This isn't just for records and rankings in the NFL. This is for RESPECT! Something this Raider Organization, nor the Raider Nation have had in 7 years!

Losing this game is not something you want to do. This game is going to be a sell out. Rolando McClain and Tom Cable, you asked for it, the Raider Nation answered. All year we have been waiting for the chance to be hyped up about a winning streak and guess what, we are riding your efforts on a 2 game murderfest that has us hungry for more.

I am absolutely amped up for this game, and it is only Thursday! I am sure, as you read this Nation, you feel the same!

Look, simply put,

IF YOU FAIL US RAIDERS, THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE YOU WILL LOSE A TON OF SUPPORT FOR THE REST OF THIS YEAR! THIS GAME IS THAT PIVOTAL!

There is ABSOLUTELY no way the Chiefs come into our house this year, and pull out a win. I don't give a S*IT how good their damn record is. It means nothing when they come into our house. Its us against the world and this is your time to prove that we are ready to stand united against them all.

Forget the records. Forget the 2 wins against Seattle and Denver. Throw out all of the success and losses. This game right here in week 9 will say it all.

EITHER PUT UP OR SHUT UP!

We are tired of being let down by all the hype and then falling flat on our faces for the last 7 years.

ITS TIME TO WIN NOW!

This is what we are all after......
Our Return To Glory!

Just Win DAMN IT!

I'm looking for feedback from the Raider Nation to be incorporated into this blog. Leave a comment below. They are always welcomed and appreciated.

Gradkowski or Campbell???? The Burning Question!

After hearing Tom Cable in his press conference on Monday so confident that Bruce Gradkowski is our quarterback for the team once he is healthy, I can completely understand his stance.

He made the change when Campbell wasn't playing to the expectations of the team. So I ask myself, as a football junkie and someone who understands the game, why would Cable answer that question with so much confidence for a hurt quarterback, when this team has put up back to back 500 yard games, the most points in team history with 59, and almost blanking the Sea Chickens 33-3 at home.

My simple answer - The Playbook.

Its obvious that Gradkowski has more of the coaches ear because he understands the expectations of  Cable more. He has been in this system for 3 years now, and knows what Cable and Davis expect from the quarterback position. Campbell, doesn't. Its evident in the play calling and execution of the plays and the consistency they play with. Tough thing though is I am not on the field to see what is going on during practice, so we don't see the progressions like Cable and the staff do.

After digging through the teams throwing attempts trying to find the answer I may have found it.

The Vertical Offense.

 Gradkowski has thrown more balls beyond 20 yards versus Campbell, who came from a west coast system of dinking and dunking and has the arm  but not the mindset to get the ball down the field. That is until recently.

Simply put, Campbell doesn't understand the entire concept of stretching the field vertically which will open up more lanes for the running game to smash through to the second level, because opposing teams can not keep 8 in the box.

I know for a fact that this type of West Coast Offense frustrated the hell out of Davis during the Gruden era, because you can tell based on the fact that Gruden was traded to the Bucs for a draft pick, even with his success.

Ahhhh These were the days!

Some input from the Raider Nation:


BSPN-

"Well deserved. 27-47, 514 yards, 4 TD's & 0 INT's last 2 weeks. Lets hope he can continue this great play vs KC."


Inside the Oakland Raiders-

"Bo Schembechler Jackson Says:
I trust Cable/Hue/Hackett to choose the correct starting QB. I also trust Cable to stick to his tagline about Grads so that the topic does not blow up in the media. Smart."

"inonewordraider Says:
Grads didn’t even get snaps in last weeks practice so Campbell should go this week, if he continues to play like the last two games ride him, Grads is the kind of guy that could step in at moments notice and Campbell has the higher ceiling and let’s not stop him from possibly reaching it"

Jason Campbell. He has proven himself after the lull. Bruce is a perfect backup. Bruce is a player J Cam is the QB

Campbell, has more tools. He reads the defense better. Greater accuracy. Better game brain, 5 different offense schemes in 5 yrs.
