Other team's cuts

Hargrove is actually like Brayton, pretty ironic that you bring him up. He's playing the 3-tech for the 1st time in his career after being a DE(vice versa to Brayton) and Williams thinks he be a LaRoi Glover clone.

This guy Sands is simply a DT who can't even make it on to Oakland's roster, which is beyond sad considering the Raiders may have the worst d-line in the league.

one could very easily make the valid argument that they don't know what they're doing in oakland

Which also could be an argument to why he has not succeded. Maybe a new home can make him better and also play on much better line.

My point was you can´t rate a player by the team he played for. Jason David came from the SB champs... How did that work out?

The Raiders let them both walk... = Same role. Sure Sands was cutted and Brayton was just not resigned but Raiders must have looked at them both and thought they could do without them.

BUT

Again that was not the point of my post.

Change of scenery can do a lot. If you suck on team A you dont have to suck on team B and the other way around.

I hate to have to agree with the resident Saints fan but Sands is complete garbage. The guy is not a "big run stuffer" he's FAT and gets shoved on his ass every play.

It's a completely different situation from Brayton who got moved around constantly, even to the point where they played him at LBer.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
