07/20/10 - Show #276: Raider Greg's 2010 Crystal Ball
TOPICS:
Segment #1: "Raider Greg's 2010 Crystal Ball"
Raider Greg breaks down the 2010 season game by game, giving you the "experts" opinions on how each game will play out, and then his opinion.
Segment #2: "Richard Seymour - No Long Term Contract This Year"
The Raiders gave up a 1st round pick in 2011 in order to trade for Richard Seymour in September of 2009. There was some criticism of this move at the time, with fans saying that it was risky to give up a 1st round pick to get Seymour for possibly just one year. No long-term contract was signed by the deadline, but the Raiders did make Seymour the Raiders "franchise player" for 2010, which means he will play a 2nd year in Oakland at a minimum. Any long-term deal will have to wait until after this season. Raider Greg gives his thoughts.
Segment #3: "The Raiders NEW Linebacking Corps - Can They Defend The Pass?"
A lot has been said about the acquisition of Rolando McClain, Kamerion Wimbley, and Quentin Groves during the off-season in order to help the Raiders in their run stopping abilities. In the last few years the Raiders lacked in this area, however, players such as Kirk Morrison, Ricky Brown, and Thomas Howard did defend the pass well....and they came up with quite a few interceptions. How will these new linebackers do in pass defense? Raider Greg discusses this topic.
