SDR: Kicking you when you are down? Have you looked at the Raiders recently? 77 yards of TOTAL OFFENSE last week. Oy vey. I’m about ready to become a 49ers fan at this rate. At least Singletary is bringing some fire to that team – and discipline.
BTW, Rumor Central has it that Al Davis is courting Jim Harbaugh from Stanford as possible next HC of the Raiders. Harbaugh is a big Bay Area name (Jim went to Palo Alto HS and his dad coached at Stanford also) and he loves Al Davis. Should be interesting.
On the Chargers front: Firing Ted Cottrell was the right move and long overdue, but the problems are deeper than that. Losing Merriman was huge; that defense is a shade of what it once was and where the hell did your pass rush go? Linebacker play is pretty bad, too. LT is not nearly the threat he was and the decision to lose Lorenzo Neal is looking increasingly bad. You also know that Ron Rivera, your new D Coordinator, is the same guy that gagged against the Colts during the Bears – Colts Super Bowl, right?
That last one was kicking you when you were down, sorry.
