Another brilliant idea from the coaching staff involving McClain

[MileHighRaider]

I think this whole thing is being overblown. I doubt he had much time as rb. I'm sure a few plays at most.

+1.

I know they want to stick it to the guy but they have him playing running back on the scout team. Wtf? I mean Jamal Charles was probably already going to stomp us in the ass but why not have a fast back like Jones play rb so the defense can prepare for the speed they are going to see instead of slow ass Rolando?

Overreaction. It would be different if this team doesn't get many looks at Charles, but the fact is he plays in our division. Charles starting getting carries in games midway through 2009. That means this team has seen him 6 times. They know how fast he is. Even the new guys saw him in the first game this year.

To me, this sets a great example for other players that want to give sub par effort in practice. Looks like discipline is returning in Oakland to me.

OP,


They are simply getting there moneys worth out of this kid by any means necessary. I dont have a problem with that. And i dont think anyone else in the raider nation has a problem with that. I just wish we could have done the same to jamarcus.

I just hope these coaches know they could be derailing a hall of fame career

[QUOTE=Jiu Jitsu Jon;3810389]Make him work concessions. He'd probably be slow at handing you a hot dog too.

Good thing it isn't Jamarcus, or you would never get that hot dog...

[milo_s_thomas]

If they were performing organized defensive drills it is common for the backup LB to play running back. During the full team practice it was likely Jones that was playing the scout back. Do not get excited about these stories without the full picture.

Working Class? Have you been to Oakland in the last 20-30 years? McClain is the embodiment of Oakland...

I know what your saying....been about 15 years
but it does still have it's waterfront and docks...and it's history......
I'm quite sure there's plenty of hard working folks there with pride.
I know what your saying though....

McClain must have done a pretty good job.

Best Damn scout running back in the business

I bet Reggie's phone is ringing off the hook with trade offers for Ro right now!

How can it not?

If this lame coaching staff figured this out prior to the Tampa game our season would have gone ten times better

Maybe DA should have pulled his head out of his @$$ and started McClain at HB. You can't spell "Rolondo McClain, Superbowl MVP" without Rolondo McClain.

Don't be surprised if you see a "Ro Knows" Nike commercial tomorrow.

So much for not having this team ready. How many rushing yards did charles have?

Much much less than the number of reasons McClain has to not give a f*ck.
