^Wimbley got tagged last year so we gotta hopefully re-sign him for a decent price.
I have a feeling Bush gets tagged just because we have no idea how many games we'll get from McFadden next year. Hopefully Taiwan is ready by the time we lose Bush.
Denarius is going to be filthy next season and I expect Darrius to keep progressing, it'd be nice to have a vet WR to lead the young guys (not Housh) but I think DHB+DMo with Jacoby in the slot can be a real problem with a full training camp with Carson.
And unless we get another solid LB I'm not trying to see us run a 3-4 with Curry, Rolando, Wimbley and Groves. I'd rather see Shaugnessy, Kelly, Seymour and Houston on the line.

Wimbley signed a 5yr/48mil deal.
I don't think we will go with the 3/4 def, but we need depth and speed at LB

How disappointing. What a terrible way to end an up and down season.
Once i saw Jason go down I had a bad feeling about the rest of the season.
Chuck has got to go.
Love the young skill players on this team.
Was very happy with the way Aaron Curry played most of the season. The other LBs not so much. Wimbley had his moments.
Could have used a healthy Shaughnessy all year. played in only the first 3 games.
Too many injuries in the already terrible secondary. Besides Routt, Branch, and maybe Huff, the rest are awful.
McFadden is it too hard to ask for one full healthy season? Hard to see this team improving without him healthy.
Palmer is not the difference maker people thought he would be. J.Campbell is my guy and is the one that pulled us out of the Jamarcus Russell era. I just like him better as my teams quarterback. He seems to have great chemistry with the rest of his teammates because they know what he is capable of and respect him. Would really like to see Jason get a second chance and compete with Carson, but with so much invested in Palmer i don't see it happening.

Just read from Steve Corkran of Oakland Tribune that he has 'rock-solid' sources about Huff converting to cornerback. How do you guys feel about that?

^Converting Huff to CB is pointless if we don't retain Branch. And it's not like Huff is an amazing play at CB anyways....he struggled mightily there.
All I want is Del Rio, Spags, Nolan, etc...anybody at Defensive Coordinator would be a great look. I think we have the talent to AT LEAST be a middle of the pack defense.
We just need the right schemes and discipline applied to that side of the ball.
Also, just read on Nfl.com that DeCosta would consider leaving Baltimore. Do it Mark!

Wauffle is the only coach that stayed on staff. That mean we will be playing a 4/3 D.

We will sell out all 8 games. Half will be official sell out and other half the team will buy back the tickets. That is why we sold out all 8 games this year.

I want Rod to stay as well. I would rather have Wauffle stay to if we're going to stay in a 4-3. If not, bring in Mike Nolan and change it up.

Imagine the Raiders' season if Al Davis had lived
By. Vittorio Tafur

Hue Jackson says late owner Al Davis "will always be with him," and the Raiders coach said he reminded players throughout the season that Davis believed in them.
After the win over the Chiefs two weeks ago, he told reporters that Davis had told him in his final days, "Hue, we'll win it in the end."
That end, obviously, was not this season as Oakland lost at home to San Diego on Sunday and sits all square at 8-8 for the second straight year.
A couple days before Davis died on Oct. 8, Jackson said the owner told him he was doing a good job. But what would Davis think of what transpired after that 2-2 start?
Better yet, what would have happened to the Raiders this season if Davis had not died?
The biggest difference is there would have been no Carson Palmer trade. People around the league who knew Davis well agree that there is no way he would have given up a first-round pick in 2012 and a second-round pick in 2013 for a 31-year-old semi-retired quarterback.
Davis valued high draft picks too much. (Never mind that the second-rounder in 2013 becomes a first-rounder if Oakland makes the AFC Championship Game next season.)
So who would have played quarterback after Jason Campbell got hurt in Week 6? The Raiders probably would have brought back Trent Edwards as a backup to Kyle Boller, and Davis would have asked Jackson the question that has been in the back of the minds of some players and fans all season ...
Why did you go with Boller as your backup quarterback out of training camp when it is obvious you had no faith in him? For all the talk of "next man up," Jackson was practically saying "anybody but him" when Campbell got hurt.
And we're not saying it was a bad trade. Palmer showed his arm is just fine and Jackson said correctly Monday that the Raiders would not have been playing for the playoffs Sunday if not for the trade. Palmer was 4-5 as a starter, and I think it's safe to say that goes down to 2-7 with Boller or Edwards.
So, that's two more losses this season if Davis is still around, but we're not done yet.
Defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan started using a lot more blitzes and zone coverages after Davis, a strict man-to-man guy, died. The blitzes worked well early in wins over Houston and Cleveland, but the zone coverages fell apart late in the season.
The image of 255-pound middle linebacker Rolando McClain covering Lions All-Pro receiver Calvin Johnson 40 yards downfield late in the fourth quarter might be on the cover of the Raiders 2012 yearbook.
Bresnahan is going to get fired, as all defensive coordinators do after a team gives up 433 points, and he would have already gotten fired if Davis were still alive. But ... with Davis' 2 a.m. phone calls reminding Bresnahan to stick with man-to-man (and Davis signing more cornerbacks and not letting Jackson go with four tight ends on the active roster), I have the Raiders beating the Lions in Week 15.
So that's a record of 7-9 instead of 8-8, no Carson Palmer but two more draft picks and no post-game ripping of the players after Sunday's loss. That was a big no-no with Davis.
What does it all mean? Well, Jackson won't be fired after his 8-8 season as Tom Cable was last season. And while Jackson will still quote Davis and think of his boss every day, his fate and future employment with the Raiders beyond next season is now tied to another man. One Carson Palmer.
The now 32-year-old Palmer showed flashes but also finished with more interceptions (16) than touchdowns (13). He needs offseason work to develop timing and chemistry with his receivers - especially Jacoby Ford, who seemed to stop short on a route that resulted in an interception and a glare Sunday - and come back better next season.
"I think that Carson needs a strong offseason, with his teammates, with the players, training camp," Jackson said. "And then let's see what he can be then. Am I tied to him? Well, I made the decision, so I guess I am."
