RAIDERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Taiwan Jones: Roster Bubble to Pro Bowl Contender
The rise of Taiwan Jones has been something that I have really been keeping an eye on in 2013. The third-year player has had something of a tumultuous past with the Raiders, but through a lot of hard work and opportunistic play, he has quietly developed into one of the Raiders’ strongest overall players. Many casual fans probably don’t know who he is, and with news coming out...

Andre Holmes-ward bound: trust in the Raiders receiver to contribute down the stretch
It’s time to get to know Andre Holmes because he is opening eyes in Oakland. Holmes, after a nice outing in Week 11, burst onto the football scene last Thanksgiving Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys and I was quite impressed with what I saw from Holmes. He made numerous tough catches jumping over his defender one after another. That’s what it takes sometimes to be a successful...

Raiders CB Taiwan Jones is possibly going back to his original NFL position, for this week at least. Jones was drafted as a RB out of Eastern Washington but made the transition to CB. Jones has been a steady special teams ace for the Raiders.
Steve Corkran of the Bay Area News Group reports that Jones was working at running back for the Raiders...

Will the Raiders even make Darren McFadden an offer when he becomes a free agent?
Steve Corkran of the Contra Costa Times stated that he doesn’t believe Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie will make Darren McFadden an offer when he hits free agency this coming offseason.
Sadly enough, Corkran is right. As good as McFadden is, he’s not worth keeping because of his inability to stay on the field
There’s no doubt...

Darren McFadden now has an ankle injury
It seems like the injuries never go away for Raiders running back Darren McFadden who now has an ankle injury.
Allen said McFadden has a new ankle injury, sustained in Thursday’s game. Hopeful he’s back soon. #Raiders

It’s sad that with all the talent McFadden has, he can never stay on the field...

Recapping Oakland’s Salary Cap
Although dropping another game this season was a disappointing way to effectively end Oakland’s playoff hopes for this season, 2013 isn’t done for Oakland. Like Jorge Conteras said in his article, Oakland should be using December to evaluate talent for the future and figure out what this team has. With four challenging games left on the schedule, including a full tour of the...

Oakland Raiders could start Taiwan Jones at RB this week
Running back Darren McFadden, though, was not on the practice field, fueling speculation that he aggravated his troubled right hamstring. Neither was running back Jeremy Stewart, who suffered knee and ankle injuries on Thanksgiving at the Dallas Cowboys. And while Rashad Jennings was back after suffering a concussion against the Cowboys, converted cornerback/gunner Taiwan Jones […]

Dennis Allen says Raiders won't quit on season: 'these guys have gone out there and given us everything that they’ve had every single week'

The Oakland Raiders Should Smash Geno Smith
On Sunday, the 4-8 Oakland Raiders should be able to go into MetLife Stadium and defeat the 5-7 New York Jets.
Why you may ask? Why, can a team who has not won in the Eastern time zone since 2009, back when Bruce Gradkowski lead the team to that thrilling win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, go into the the frigid New Jersey cold and escape with a win? Why can a team that does their...

WR Andre Holmes building a future with Raiders: 'the ball was coming to me, and I was able to make plays on it'
At 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, WR Andre Holmes is the kind of physical target the Raiders have lacked, and when fellow wideout Denarius Moore returns to the starting lineup, Holmes should still have a prominent role going forward. Holmes has developed a chemistry with rookie QB Matt McGloin and had a seven-catch, 136-yard games last Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys.

Pryor might still have something to show Raiders
What's that old saying? When you have two quarterbacks, you really have none.
The 4-8 Raiders hope they have at least one, and they should focus on determining who that is during these last four games, in addition to the traditional playing for pride that fans have dealt with the past 11 seasons.
Terrelle Pryor started eight games before getting injured and simultaneously losing...

Sorry Terrelle Pryor, you are FIRED; Mr. McGloin you are the starter again
While Oakland Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Monday that Matt McGloin is his quarterback for the moment, he would not commit to the undrafted rookie free agent over previous starter Terrelle Pryor for the season’s final four games. “I think we’re going to continue to play that out,” Allen said in his media conference Friday, following Thursday’s 31-24 loss at the Dallas […]

Oakland Raiders have a gem in Andre Holmes, he crushed his former team today
Andre Holmes. The one-time Cowboys project receiver entered Thursday with five career catches for 76 yards. Holmes put on a first-half clinic against Dallas cornerback Orlando Scandrick, catching four passes for 56 yards after a particularly galling drop. The 6-foot-4 Holmes finished with seven catches for a game-high 136 yards. He seemed to become quarterback Matt McGloin’s […]
