On The Rise: Derrick Gibson
June 23, 2003
By Daniel Zamora

When the Oakland Raiders drafted SS Derrick Gibson in the first round of the 2001 draft they knew they were getting a tall, physical, young safety that for years had been creating headaches for offensive coordinators while at Florida State University. Gibson, who is 6'2" - 215 pounds, delivers punishing tackles while at the same time being very reserved off the field. He doesn't like talking trash. Derrick Gibson shuts his mouth and lets his aggressive play do the talking for him. "I wouldn't call myself shy," he said. "I'm just a quiet guy."

I hear you. But I haven't written off Gibson. Still haven't seen any of his "terrifying" hits, but hey, he's a third year and has huge HUGE upside. So he may be the weak link, but who isn't playing with the woodsons and Buch?

I very BIG one at that, and at a key position. Why do the Raiders have sooo many problems with DB's? I'm using the term DB's as a general term.

This is the make or break year for Gibson. I'd like the Raiders to pick up Dorsett, as a backup, especially the way he was playing at the end of the season last year.

Bzdup - glad to see ya back on the site!
