No arguing that Raiders have a new and improved Grove - Inside Bay Area

One less position on the line to worry about if he can hold it down.

I'm pulling for him I hope he can come in as the starter against the Donks and have a good game, mistake free.

[Pride41]

We will know how good he is when he can block the bull rush. When it counts on third and short he gets man handled

[Raider Ran]

Lets hope it works out. This is not the position with the biggest question marks. RT, LT are huge ?????.

Brad Roll was a blessing

Good read! I think Grove will do a solid job barring injury this season. Now if we can work on the tackle positions.......

I was actually impressed by Grove's play last year, particularly against Denver. So I kind of expected him to move to the forefront this season.

On a side note, have you ever heard players bash a coaching staff the way they base Shell's??? First it was Walter completely tearing them apart, then Grove says this...

``Looking back on it, that's the worst thing that could have happened,'' Grove said. ``I was the only guy that year (on the line) that started every game. Every week, it was a constant beat-down, with no support from the coaching staff.

That's some pretty heavy handed stuff.

``But for guys, you're not a parent, you're not a parent, and then . . . boom . . . you're a parent. First, it's just me. Then all of a sudden you're responsible for something.'

loved that part

I'll Believe It When I See It On The Field. Hope It's True And He Works Out Tho

[OTF]

Hope he becomes what we expected when he was drafted!

i like that quote" last year was a hangover year and no amount of alkaseltzer was going to cure it"........been there. lol

if he can stay healthy and hold down the position, it'd be great for us
