NFL names Super Bowl 50 Golden Team... 3 Raiders are on it.

No Marcus Allen?

 

Maybe I'm partial. He's my favorite football player ever. But that run is iconic, and his SB performance was just ridiculous.

Opponents had rushed for a total of 1300 yards on the season vs. that Washington defense. Allen simply destroyed them.

 

No Allen. Franco Harris and Emmitt Smith were the backs...

 

I don't think I can support that

 

...I can understand. Allen was a better all around player than either one but unfortunately only appeared in one Super Bowl.

 

Pertinent Raider info:

Spanos announces the Chargers will stay in SD for this season. San Diego is now held ransom.

If SD doesn't pony up everything and give the Chargers what they want, then the Chargers leave for LA.
If the Chargers stay in SD, then the Raiders almost assuredly, gladly, and happily come back to LA.

 

BUT DOMINATED

It's all good.

So Terrell Owens is a HOF Finalist and Cliff Branch isn't?

 

Welcome to The Hall of Fame...Ken "The Snake" Stabler!

 

- Nate Allen cut and brought back for a lesser amount. Good move by McKenzie...
- signed an extension to stay at O.Coliseum for another year. Now about that baseball infield...

 

Woodson joining ESPN as an analyst. Very cool.

What do you think about positional needs?

CB - early, high priority
ILB - high priority
DE - high priority
OT - high priority
S - high priority
DT - moderate priority
RB - moderate priority

 

Reinforcement at S could be addressed via free agency. Draft a top shelf corner and move Carrie at S, leave Amerson on the other side [for now]. With Tuck gone, Smith out for eleven, Edwards a question mark...DE is a priority just as much. Agree with all of your assessments.
