Oher-Giacomini would be a decent pairing imho, especially from a run blocking perspective..Quote:

a) Giacomini sucks, especially when it comes to run blocking
b) Giacomini is signed elsewhere, and we already picked up a good right tackle in Austin Howard
c) they will either go for Oher, draft Matthews, or stick with last season's 2nd round pick Menelik Watson, who was injured all season
wow didn't know the jets signed him..
hopefully the raiders draft manziel. cause they have no offensive line whatsoever, he is gonna get raped.

I don't understand why Oakland is going after UFAs (not released players). They had two players signed away on big deals. They essentially traded two fourths (and probably at least two sevenths) just to bring in some washed up vets.

he sucked :lol
yeah i just saw this too. not bad.
3 year deal
apparently Boothe had a rough year, but he's been a plus run blocker for most of his career. he should slide in at RG
Charles Woodson is also being resigned
Good. After botching the Veldheer situation and the retarded Saffold thing a least we have a starting caliber left tackle. Just one less need to draft
While I certainly would have liked to lock up Veldheer (he is younger, and better in pass protection), Penn is a capable starter, and a better run blocker. Along with the signings of Austin Howard and Kevin Boothe (two other plus run blockers), the raiders are showing they are going to be a power running team this season.
Justin Tuck, Lamarr Woodley, Antonio Smith, James Jones, and Tarell Brown are also FA signings that will all be starters. didn't really make any splash moves, but anytime you can sign 8 starters in free agency means you probably did something right.
Penn bailed the Raiders out much like RayRay bailed Wade out in 6 :downspin:
ur deflecting shit all the way to another forum, i see :lol
