Nice write up.I hope Kelley stays heathy and is a solid lineman.He has shown flashes buthas been inconsistant in his career.I think people are expecting him to be a pro bowler just because he got huge $$,he will never live up to that.I hope he can be a god lineman who continues to improve.I hope they keep him at DT and dont move him around al the time,let him work on 1 thing and get better.JMHO

Yup I agree...he really needs to step it up for us and the MOST important thing is to stay healthy.

I think Kelly has it in him to be a pro bowl player. With Sapp out of the way he can play the middle where he belongs. Lets hope he brings it and gets this defense to the next level. It is paramount that himself and Mr. Sands step up and put pressure on the interior by pushing the pocket and stopping the run. This will allow our LB's and secondary to flourish and make this defense one of the most feared in the NFL. It sounds simple but it has yet to materialize and we have lots of $$ invested in those two guys in the middle. Lets hope the investment pays off.. GO RAIDERS!!!

He has a great vertical leap (see last years cleveland games field goal block ) even if opposing defenses double team him he can still deflect passes over the middle. if his knee is better, he does have decent speed for his size to get through the line.

I remember him chasing down a wide receiver last year. I don't remember which game it was, but it was him. He is fast for a lineman.
