You can see it in his play, his hearts not in football anymore. He wants to be in Hollywood. Maybe we could work a trade with Oakland for a couple of draft picks....LOL.

This is purely hypothetical, but I would trade Taylor man up for Robert Gallery in a heartbeat. Gallery may be a bust to date, but at least he's younger and a big body that would give our fast fading O-line more depth.

Problem is though that the Raiders, like us, need more players like Gallery and less players like Jason Taylor. They do the whole undersized defensive lineman thing better than the rest of the NFL.

When you take an offensive lineman at No. 2 overall, you expect him to be a tackle. But Gallery was a guard in the making, and Davis meddled in Turner's affairs, forcing Gallery to play tackle where he was totally overmatched.

As a Guard though, he's a potential Kendall replacement, should we want to go that route. He's almost exactly like Kendall, but far, far younger.

I dont think the raiders do anything better then any team. Oakland is where players go to die.

They defend the pass better than we do, and they have the best special teams units in the league. Those are two of our biggest weaknesses.

If you combined the best of the Redskins and Raiders...you'd still be a right tackle and a wide receiver short of a super bowl contender.
