" Welcome back Dennis and Callahan you know during -- time we wanna turn our attention of the Oakland Raiders have one source of -- one source only. He is the man that is heard on these airwaves on fox well fox were trading overnight our pal JT the -- joins us also by the way in his twelfth year with the Oakland Raiders broadcast."
" And -- and we've mostly don't know -- does the broadcast with the spiky shoulder pads and and and the helmet on right at morning dictate."
" The only guys that that make you do -- I couldn't be better to -- little bit better for the raider nation of which would they market the war well."
" Obviously that's what we're talking about in your office you're on the ground as they say -- and on the ground out there you were up and Oakland taping the coaches show yesterday. We know nothing at this sent of course Bill Belichick is saying nothing. Bob -- organization is saying nothing what are you hearing with your ear to the ground in Oakland."
" Well the -- is one of bad that's why they made it desperate deal would get up a lot of people I don't know what you've got the -- to have been hit on the fact that the raiders did about the number want to get a -- out. This deal was first explored the raiders were able to get a player like that. To eventually hopefully come the old one now the problem there is everyone's speculating ballot Jack's not talking obviously Tom cable. That'll wanna go near this and police showed up in Alameda. And it's very unfortunate because the raiders put this small guys not -- Next year what 2011. They need -- Monday night. Against the San Diego charger team that is being vocal in the last eleven times and they -- can get to the quarterback and stop the --"
" Yet and that jumps out at me JT is 31 -- Oakland Raiders were 31 out of 32 teams in rushing defense last year that's obviously a need that the raiders organization most of somehow addressed as quickly as possible."
" And they have a draft that well the problem is is that they've busted out in regards suspended money they spent all this morning on. Tommy Kelly they just cut a guy named Terdell Sands it was an absolute bar in the secondary they gave DeAngelo Hall. Eight million -- eight game it's not because they're not trying. To upgrade they thought they had some good guy told collapsed radio or years. When this whole thing went itself. And I think the reason why they're going to have to Seymour is they -- up we'll open commodity not only guy who can make plays on the people to -- what a leader. In the locker room and also that Greg Ellis who came over from Dallas a complete character guy who can get to the quarterback 75 careers that. So they think with ballot and he -- that would be dramatic upgrade."
" JT with all the stuff that's gone on the -- raiders organization -- Boston went on for fourth round pick Derrick Burgess to -- them for a third in the conditional. Is there and all the contracts you talked about Tommy Kelly DeAngelo Hall. Is there any rebellion in raider nation that says. -- Thomas -- organization by and certainly don't provide."
" they're the people to -- the -- the owner Al Davis was completely involved at eighty years old with every decision that's made within the organization and god it's not gonna change Jerry Jones -- younger much younger he's doing the same thing in -- guys so only thirteen. Do it definitely mister Kraft there's been reports that up with stop the only in the past with ballot check this genius to have people. In charge of who also make the decision it's not gonna change without David. Is that a lot of -- hard to live up earlier this decade he'd give a shot to a journeyman named Rich Gannon it became the MVP eleventh there was no global brought in Jerry Rice. Robin rock work then of its all the Hamilton played at a very high level. Probably as the last couple years even guys like Robert Gallery everybody in the NN now -- him at number two in that draft that year. -- that he wasn't ready for the NFL but they've gone -- a bad streak here and that's why they're trying to turn it around so desperately."
" Yeah but even by their standards JT got to admit this is the dumbest move in recent raider history this if you get Richard Seymour. But you get up once season one season. -- which -- not gonna contend for a super boy you're not gonna even make the playoffs. Why you need to rent a veteran for one year give up a first round pick for that guy what good does -- do --"
" Because it would have gotten it -- third round -- will be -- first. For a second and you're right so the raiders miss on a first round pick is that the that the well they may yet. A quality player with reasonable bowling and a legal -- anymore. So well -- so you're right it became the first respected the raiders -- all what the first. But they don't care about 2011. We have all of 2009. An untapped it 2000 again and -- that traffic. It's in doubt that the weapons might not be ready to play 2012. Or thirteen -- with eight years old guys. They've tried. -- yesterday not eat up next here he hears about now which."
" Insane if you're raider fan -- you're selling out next year year after four this year. And you know your team -- good enough to win what what what Seymour gonna do we of the -- the difference between five wins in six or seven wins and eight."
" Well -- it like to say that would be worn a couple of the upgrade that they can win seven all right but I remember I mean. Nor do we go to Boston wait it doesn't want a lot lately take. The patriots Super Bowl this decade the two with Roethlisberger. And the one with Peyton Manning. Group wanted to there's no one else went into the only three teams. 320. Winning championships -- what everybody's supposed to do role. It worked and played for a draft pick in 2011. Some teams wanna. Sellout when they can't sell out they wanna entertain their fans they wanna start when it again a little later played into the championship game. This decade in a football I think there's fourteen -- fifteen teams that haven't done that and you're right it's equate it away don't run your game at times. What they've won a waned and Al Davis is a look at the president -- over to a stranger just once the wind right now."
" It makes sense to me JT only if they were a piece or two away and don't sort of -- barking up zealotry that Jerry was if they were one guy away. -- and the new mortgage this the first round draft choice that's okay they're trying to win now you could add Richard Seymour and how much added that the game total win total is much different than it was last year."
" Oh that's good that's a great point and I agree with yeah I don't think that they do a lot more. With Richard -- other than maybe win another game or two but that's why it locked at the guys one -- not locked up not they also want their best player. For the next group for the president and the funny what it may just. Quit and and let him go and upload all polish they like look all they wanna upgrade it to you right there are hoping. That they could sign seawall along on the problem which I never got the beginning on the steel is that Seymour is never gonna sign a long term big."
" I'm gonna show up. Some tells me he's not interested in spending more than one season there. You know what he's hasn't shown up yet we're gonna try to criticize them. Yeah oh yeah about I'm not a real well what what's the latest you hear is Seymour just sit here in his house. Mulling his options easy seriously considering. -- not season."
" Well it would be I would think in odd because legacies that woods got principle all right guys but I think would be -- less you know what it did don't walk away. From a team that had. A bad couple years I mean if you look at the patriots from 1989. To 1993. When there -- five and 111 -- fifteenth sixteenth and 21 of fourteen and five and eleven this summer was quite good for the patriots that's what time what they say. Well that they grow -- even what are not gonna go there have been -- bad he's got a job to do he's supposed to. Yup hope that any really pointing out that badly. To date is okay maybe the -- got a game on Monday."
" Yeah my guess is -- push comes to shove because he's look at three point seven million dollars down the drain. If he does a report that he will report. What we're hearing conflicting stories -- in Tom cable say. -- doctor Richard -- he wants to come and play for Oakland Rodney Harrison says a -- Richard -- he doesn't wanna go and play for -- yes and and and somebody else it gives an issue with the -- which second understand what that would possibly be my only guess would be he may be having an issue with the Oakland Raiders and wants some sort of guarantee that it becomes their plays hard -- as many gives it possibly can't -- they -- franchise -- possible date to."
" That that is possible but they franchised Magda bass player not -- the -- and then they rewarded with him because he was loyal with the contract extension that makes my highest paid defensive. The back in the history of the week so Al Davis says quote it. That he'll have the money and help pay these guys if he can convincing more mistake but guys like -- get back to this one point again. It comes down to the fact that the -- was really want the -- to try to get a hold of the AFC west again you know -- look at the big picture with Indianapolis the -- But what is it try to win the division again and -- can't go with the team that was third in the eight last year. They won the last four games they really believe that there to a three paces away I know that sounds quaint in Boston this morning but this is political later that they can that they were five is pictures away from a Super Bowl run. They -- some quality players but what I don't -- see more in a sidewalk terminal when. -- I bet you wouldn't like that on my show. Which no one's talking about our nationally is that fact that. How would you look at treated by the patriots after. Up I pulled built in three super ball is -- her about the start sport they did this week. That it ointment training camp and different await the patriots say goodbye to -- patriot Obama back and of this great career."
" Yeah do things here JT I mean you know of that by now though one last question about it Oakland you mentioned. Al Davis is in charge of them involved in every decision which I think explains a lot the question is. Is he lucid is seat is he is he clear thinking at this point."
" Yeah I mean he definitely -- that a lot of guys and I appreciate. You're not taking personal shots that and aiding your roll them up and physically a guy who's breaking down and asked the -- With the stock -- with a walker but he didn't. Still meetings with twelve hours a day he -- would stop the stats for thought more about football than most people of every single war I mean this is -- Franchises. Played enforceable -- five decades. They've won over 400 games they have not seen -- hall of famers and Al davis' adopted not a double. I think the -- track record speaks for itself. He's just don't want rule -- we. No one here support the Health Department the decisions on draft -- the decisions that have been made it's free agency it's Warren. That decision after another but they've never been more passionate about winning and don't you wanna win that's one thing got a proven on the field."
" JT the -- up with so little discussion about the coach and read a priest is an analysis that said cables ideas to finally the last structure and discipline and known. Defensive assignments to -- guys on that side of the ball a wonder if anybody -- which in cables here get the ball to Darren McFadden."
" What is great and that several important because you've got McFadden they get a real appetite ended that -- was excellent and it there was just. You know under the 6065. Plays McFadden. 25 -- I think the raiders would be okay -- a guy who don't have an offensive line. They don't have a deep sensible line that's why they -- have to see more than Greg Ellis and they're just trying to take remember on -- hopeful one pick overall. Injured Marcus Russell who could really. When this franchise where they need to be over the next two with three years' war. It's got the -- he also worked out and he definitely placed the worst of its ability. They'll look and had a big problem want to a little while on the line permanent of this supplements -- in the regulation just hopes. They can be competitive again because when they're competitive. It's too late that the NFL when everyone's butt heads with raider fans all over the place."
" Who they finish ahead of in the division Kansas City Denver or both."
" I think Denver and Kansas City are awful I don't think the right it was a very good. I think they could win it. 67 games maybe eight but I think Kansas city's -- It rebuilding and we know what's up with Josh McDaniels out there in -- there revolting as we know from Jay Cutler to Brandon Marshall and I think Denver's gonna have a really typical double look to undertake expensive city. They make it's Super Bowl preview and Sports Illustrated I was surprised to see that."
" He is JT the -- fox Sports Radio JT always appreciate the information thanks I can time when it. --"
