good riddens and good luck to Fabian. He sucked big time though. Glad he's gone.

Why do players alway trash teams when they leave?

Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut.

This is the most interesting part...

Quote:
Meanwhile, Washington revealed why he was demoted last season in favor of Stanford Routt.

"They said it was my tackling," Washington said. "That Denver Broncos game, I stunk it up big-time in tackles. If that was their reason for benching me, then so be it.

"I also know that I definitely wasn't playing my best ball at the time. I was worried about different stuff other than football. Now, I'm so focused on football that I have something to prove."
1. Ok, so you decided to slacken off last season, focusing on things outside football, and you complain about being benched and traded for a 4th?

2. Ok, so now you're gonna decide to play football for the Ravens? Didn't have anything to prove before at the Raiders being a 1st round pick?

3. So given all that, it's kinda like the JFK quote....what did you do for your team instead of asking for your team to do for you?

Out of the black hole
It always interesting to hear what former Raiders have to say about the way the team is run.

Dominic Rhodes sounded as if he longed for the stability of the Indianapolis Colts, even it meant being a backup, after a year with the Raiders.

Now it’s Fabian Washington’s turn. You can read the full article here.

Here’s what stuck out to me from the story pertaining to the Raiders:

Washington emphasized that the Ravens’ practices are more intense than the Raiders and have a more organized program compared to the chaos that tends to reign under owner Al Davis’ direction.

This wasn’t a direct quote from Washington. But if Washington can attend minicamp and already decide the Ravens have a better practice regimen, it makes you wonder just how bad practices were before for the Raiders.

The consensus seemed to be in 2007 that Raider practices were much more intense than in previous years.

Then again, after being benched, Washington could be speaking from a place of being so happy to be out Oakland, minicamp practice might seem like the best thing ever.

There’s a chance he could start in Baltimore whereas he might have been the fourth corner on the Raiders.

But after getting to know Washington a bit, he’s not the kind of person to take shots at a team in which he has several friends out of spite.

So just how disorganized are things in Raider land? Maybe Tyler Brayton will provide some insight.

Tired of hearing excuses. Sounds like he has a domestic violence problem too...doesn't typically go away, so I am glad they get to deal with the rest of the baggage he will create.

P burnt 2. Bleh!

His tackling did become a problem instead of steadily improving.

I still remember he went 1 on 1 with Tony Gonzalez and he made a great tackle. Dunno if it was during his rookie season, but i thought he'd step up... i was certainly wrong!

Stay outta trouble in Baltimore!

He must be related to P-Burnt. I hoped he would step up but after reading how he said he wasn't into football 100% last year I am glad he is gone. Don't these punks like Washington and P-Burnt get so old. They think they are the greatest and talk about how great they are to the media all day yet they truly are not very good and don't even give it everything.
