i swear to god if they make it to the playoffs i'm gonna be sick

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

So two ex-Skins and two ex-Terps. Nice.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

Guys, believe when I say that he's not going to be the reason IF they go to the playoffs. Great guy, love him to death, but we're not going to be worse because we let him go.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

i bet this has something to do with hue jackson being the oc. oakland needs some professionals in the locker room and now they've got two.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

Good for rock. Always liked the guy. I remember the game we lost to dallas in part to a rock fumbe at the goalline. Rock apologized to the locker room after the game. Just very endearing.

Seems rock and JC are good friends, I remember seeing the csn video of rock and JC watching the shannahan press conf at JCs house.

I still dont know who is going to replace rock on special teams. He made alot of nice tackles last year. We lost khary campbell 2 years ago who i considered a special teams ace as well. I know we arent going to see portis, johnson or parker cover kicks and punts and carrying a 4th rb might not be an option.

Good luck rock, thanks for bleeding the b n g!

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

Always liked Rock. But it feels good to finally be moving forward with big changes on the field and not just in the FO. Looks like MS is wasting no time in making this his football team.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

Good luck to the Raiderskins!

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

I wish both of those guys nothing but success in Oakland.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

Oakland got two quality guys I hope they have a good ride there. I really liked Rock esp since he was a K-State guy.GO CATS!!

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

Anybody know how many rb's Oak. has now? I wonder what Rock's chances are of making the team? His spec. team work is his meal ticket, he never was much of a rb & now he's 30.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

I think Oakland should win atleast 7 games this yr. JC should have a decent year (17 TD'S) or so, and their D is very solid. No WR'S though and D-MAC is a D-BUST

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

What the hell? Do they want Heyer? How about for a seventh rounder in 2021.

well it won't be because of Rock at least lol

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

Al Davis is a special teams player bloodhound, even though Rock isn't that great of an athelete and too much of a character guy.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

[quote=12thMan;695237]So two ex-Skins and two ex-Terps. Nice.[/quote]I'm actually rooting for the Raiders to succeed with Jason. A big part of that will be Heyward-Bey's development. With their excellent draft and the addition of Campbell for a pittance, the Raiders could be a .500 team next season.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

Man i've got a bad feeling that we could miss the playoffs at 8 and 8, but that the raiders will go in....I hope thats not the case.

Is Al Davis dead? The raiders are suddenly becoming too competent....

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

The Raiders aren't getting into the playoffs. The AFC is just too loaded. The AFC East alone could produce 3 playoff teams. Besides, adding JC and Rock suddenly has people worried about the Raiders making the playoffs? C'mon.

I could see them being 2nd behind San Diego. I don't expect that Denver or KC will challenge much this year, and, excluding our game, Cable seems to have Oakland buying in. I doubt they will win a playoff game, but with the AFC East battling to the bone, an easier division schedule could give Oakland a backdoor shot at a 9-7 wildcard.

My crazy scenario which would be awesome (but unlikely) to see: Oakland v Redskins in a rematch of SB XVIII with the Redskins winning in the new playoff format when McNabb completes a 4th and 31, then throws a TD to Kelly after Oakland settled for a 35 yd field goal on their first OT possession. Final score Oakland 24, Skins 27, in Dallas' new stadium where cowboys fans held a mass Jim, err Jerry, Jones ritual right before the game.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

I actually like KC's chances more than Oakland's. I don't think either will make the playoffs, but KC could rise up to 7-8 wins.

The raiders looked decent last year w/Gradkowski in. The skins game was an example of that. We blew them out when russell came in.

I don't know that everyone is saying that JC & Rock are going to boost the raiders chances, I think their draft is generating some buzz here simply because they got two OTs who we'd talked about for months. As a result, the raiders might be on their way to being one of those sleeper teams people pick during training camp.

Bruce Campbell made a name for himself in the combine & I too wanted us to take him in the 4th, but he's still a workout warrior until he proves otherwise. The Mcclain pick was surprising but still good. The raiders I think are a .500 team at best.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

I'm confused, do they think picking up Cartwright is going to help JC? They do realize he's a crappy RB? They would have been better off with Betts.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders

3 Terps. Jon Condo too.

They probably got him more for his kick returns than RB. Plus he's a solid locker room guy, Oakland needs that.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

[quote=Buster;695457]3 Terps. Jon Condo too.[/quote]

3 Skins too. Shaun Bodiford was here for a minute

He could just be JC's personal bodyguard against the Raider fans.

They're set at RB with McFadden and Bush, although losing Fargas if he signs somewhere else will hurt.

Who? :oink:

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

[quote=Buster;695485]Who? :oink:[/quote]

He was a young WR we had in 2007. He didnt make the final team. He had blazing fast speed, faster than Moss, and was a beast on KR. But with the team already having 6 WR's, something had to give....

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

both were true pro's while in D.C good luck to Cartwright and Campbell

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

Seemed to me like Rock did a lot of complaining his last couple of years here. Wish him well in Oakland though

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

[quote=dmek25;695540]both were true pro's while in D.C good luck to Cartwright and Campbell[/quote]

Yep i agree. I didn't like Campbell's play, and maybe it wasnt all his fault. But he was nothing but a good guy, and a true professional. Good luck to both guys...

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

This sucks because I kind of like hating the Raiders. But with Campbell and Rock who both gave the Redskins so much it might be hard to do this year. I wish both of them the best. They were class acts while they where here.

Re: Rock Cartwright to join Raiders
 

I aways wanted to see what Rock could do if given the chance to start a few games.
