    Rolondo McClain cut by OAK

    According to PFT, Rolondo McClain has been cut.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

            No doubt his career has been a disappointment relative to his draft position and contract.

            However, that is now irrelevant to us.

            A one year cheap contract would upgrade our LB group.

              You put in a call to Nick Saban and say, "Nick, we'd like to give the guy a shot at redemption. A) Will we be able to get through to him and B) If so, how do we get through to him?"

              If he says, "you can't" move on.

                The kid is 23. He has to be worth a roster spot.

                  Seems simple enough.

                  Who has to do the actual telephone dialing for Buddy?

                    Wasn't he being hailed as a safe pick by "draft experts" too?

                      I remember, after the pick, Tom Jackson saying, "Three years ago the Raiders drafted a QB, they still need a QB. Two years ago the Raiders drafted a RB, they still need a RB. Last year they drafted a WR, they still need a WR. I guarantee three years from now they won't need an MLB." Think again, TJ.

                        I don't know, he might take the roster spot of Chris White or Kelvin Sheppard. Then we'd be in trouble.
                        Remember Kevin Everett in your thoughts.

                            unfortunately, he will probably stay in the AFC West...

                              Slow, takes terrible angles, doesn't shed blocks at all, only motivated when he feels like it, and a terrible person.

                              What about that says "bring him in"? We had enough slow linebackers last year, just because he's younger and was drafted higher doesn't make him better.
