I wish ...Hi anonymous,<BR/><BR/>You are right on all points. I wish they wouldn't draft a running back, but it is my gut feeling. I watched Micheal Bush in college quite a bit and really wanted him to come out early before he broke his leg. Needless to say I think he will be a very good back for a few years. We certainly have bigger needs.<BR/><BR/>Left tackle is a glaring need, and I would hate to rely soley on Kwame Harris at this crucial position. The market here is very thin. Drafted left tackles are hit and miss. Long looks much like a stud, but so did Gallery. I worry about steroid testing bringing some of these guys back to earth when they hit the NFL. "Disclaimer" I am in no way saying that Gallery or Long are in any way connected with steroids. "End disclaimer"<BR/><BR/>Your right, you have to give Al credit for trying. Even the harshest of critics have to give him that.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting!<BR/><BR/>Later,<BR/><BR/>MoRick Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078876429488666444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372985526223296873.post-63910139605106926892008-03-17T10:55:00.000-07:002008-03-17T10:55:00.000-07:00They're having a great offseason so far, but I don...They're having a great offseason so far, but I don't know why the Raiders would draft a running back after just re - signing Rhodes and Fargas, with Bush healthy as well.<BR/><BR/>They still need a left tackle, I was hoping for Flozell Adams, but now hope they draft one. Bill Parcells said last year that 1st round running backs fail as much or more than any other position.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, the main thing is Al is showing why we're loyal; because, whether successful or not, he is always trying to make a great team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
