What happened?

Additionally, while he isn't Willis in coverage, he is better than Belcher IMO.

He was himself and everyone piled on...

It's not hard to imagine what happened
Posted via Mobile Device

Wait, people are now coming around to the notion that Belcher is mediocre at best and needs to be upgraded? Who could have known this?

LOL

I mean, was he banned?

I find it hard to believe that the ****stick would just leave.

The guy was a total student of the game, too, while at Alabama. They couldn't get him out of the filmroom. He was also the unquestioned leader of a defense that had loads and loads of talent.

Damn, I hope we claim the guy.

Well, he got banned from DraftPLanet and was bitching about it. Additionally, everyone called him out for lying about his "sources" and their credibility.

I like to think I played a little part by linking him to an article by Bucky Brooks, the scout BlackBob proclaimed was the only one he'd listen to and the scout he said trashed Geno.

I mean, I don't see how you could not pick him up.

He does have Crohns disease, though. Hasn't ever kept him off the field though.

He is a hell of a hitter as seen by this play.

I hope he would be able to stay on the field though and not get in trouble off the field. Maybe DJ, Berry and Flowers could help. They are good influences.

not banned as far as I know.

pest somewhat banned him from draft planet.

He cried like a bitch when sorterclowned him on Bucky Brooks.

He thought Corey chavous was a scout and he wasn't.

Those are the only two he's invested in lol.

He said he was going to take a couple days off, maybe he offed himself...

No offense, but those kind of hits drive me crazy. On the first two, he didn't wrap up at all. He just put a shoulder into a guy instead of tackling him. Guys don't always go down on those hits. And on the third, he finally wrapped up but seemed proud to get a personal foul in the process.

Whoa....I did what?

I can't ban anyone. LMAO

I believe it was ChiefsCountry or OTWP.

Yeah but maybe, just maybe not being on a team entirely populated by criminals will help him learn to harness it in a good way :)

I'm sorry dude, it was chiefs country.

Please, take him. There's more sloppy seconds where that came from.

See: Stanford Routt

How the hell do you guys figure this out?

Sometimes life is about doing whats right.

Don't be sorry. I wish I could have banned that reerun.

I'm pretty sure he said so in the Geno thread.

I'm not a big fan of the guy, but I don't see how we could pass him up considering what we have.

It would help if we had a true vet leader to help him get with the program, but if he comes in and keeps acting like a Raider, dump his ass. Its not like we spent a high draft pick on him and need to invest much in him.

Horse's mouth.

And you never found out who got you huh?

That sucks
Posted via Mobile Device

I'm almost tempted to tell you guys to be careful what you wish for...

ALMOST.

Do you think he would make our team worse? If so, I'm going to need a diagram of exactly how that would happen.

What are the odds he offs Pioli during negotiations?

what the chiefs should have done is take vontaze burfict in rd 7. he has been killing it in cincinati. i wanted them to take that kid so bad. what did we get in the 7th?
hemingway = cut
vontaze burfict = day one starter.

Another Scotty Failure!

Good point. He will help ensure you get that first overall draft pick next year.

Agreed

ROFL if you think Rolando McClain would have any significant impact on this team losing games. That's like accusing Belcher of being the catalyst for this abortion of a season.

The Chiefs will never claim him. I think the Chiefs boycott defensive players that actually play with intensity and anger. I'd love to have a hard hitting asshole in the middle of our defense, even if he gets the occasional penalty for some hits.

Yup...I was rooting for Vontaze and also wanted to take a chance on Bryce Brown. We need a GM with balls

I wonder how much Belcher will get in free agency.

He's actually on the practice squad.

Not sure how we could have the top spot on the waiver wire if we just claimed someone?????

The charges against him were dropped. Which makes me think that part of the reason he's being sent walking his attitude. The new management is not going to let the inmates run the asylum like the old guy did.

A two down 3-4 ILB? Not much.

I think Belcher blows, which I've said it since 2010.

sign him up; offer an incentive laden contract with bonuses for 'good behavior' or sorts etc.

this ****ing team needs any talent it can get, at any position. They'd be fools to not even try. I'm not saying he 's Hugh Douglas or anything, but he wouldn't hurt the defense in any way.
...but then again.....it's the Chiefs. Perpetual Pussies.

I don't think you understand how it works...

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora

Rolando McClain and Raiders Coach Dennis Allen had a heated exchange early in practice I'm told. Ended with McClain booted from field...



Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora

which explains his Tweets and the fallout. Allen has said he is not sure if McClain will be allowed to practice Thurs. no further comment

You mean Belcher isn't a good player?

so the Chiefs were going to take Rolando McClain in 2010

but in the same draft

passed on

Navarro Bowman
Daryl Washington
Sean Lee
Donald Butler
Brandon Spikes
Pat Angerer

FOR ****ING JAVIER ARENAS AND DEXTER MCCLUSTER

and the first four I named are 10x better than Rolando McClain and its not even close

I hope we pick him up, he was one of my top picks at the time. Raiders are just horrible

que?

whatch'ya mean?

What the **** is detial?

So that's the end of that?

Haley was the one who said he could win 2 games with guys off the street.

After he went into to Soldier Field and won with Tyler Palko at QB and Jackie Battle at RB, I totally believe him.

Stanford Routt part 2.

A big part of it is the faids inability to develop players.

Doesn't look like he's going to be excited to come to KC.

See, there's your confirmation.

That's what I said.

Per ESPN.com he'll be released on Thursday

Were 1-10 I don't want Oakland's scraps but he's worth the rest of the season. Get him for 4 games next to DJ and see. Cut him in offseason or restructure his contract.

Anytime you can upgrade a position of need in FA with a young talented player you do it. Especially since he will not be too expensive.

Well we got #55 available for him.

Houston -McClain - Johnson - Hali

Damn.

You liked him in 2009?

I think the guy plays his role well, but that he is a limited ceiling type guy that needs to do all the little things exceptionally to stick as a long term starter and hasn't really improved over 2010 and in some ways has regressed (like the rest of the team has)



he is an average starter. It's not like he is terrible, he is just limited because of his measurables. It's not like defenses need stars at every position and his is probably the least important of all in this defense.

I think he is a good "banger" but that he has reached his ceiling in that role and that a player like Rolando is a clear upgrade because of his footmall acumen and size upgrade.

oh and KC is much better at developing

players are getting WORSE under Pioli.

If you look at all of Pioli's personnel **** ups, you have to come to the conclusion that he is doing it on purpose. I fully believe that Pioli will pass on McClain. If he is claimed, somebody else will have forced it upon Pioli or it will have been a complete accident.

What

For some reason I read this entire thread while confusing McClain with Aaron Curry. I guess because they were both LBs taken high, both were in Oakland, and Curry just got cut a few days back.

But it was like living in bizarro world for 5 minutes.

Hahah, person shitty enough to get cut by the Raiders... oh, haha you have to sign with another team, that is shittier than the Raiders.
#shittiest. Waivers, bitch!

#FirePioli

Im saying if he does well the rest of the year keep him and possibly restructure his contract. If not cut him **** it we got the cap

sign him

We need another talented player whos likely to shoot up Westport

"Thank God I don't have to watch Rolando McClain anymore! It is an honor and a privilege to play and he was an embarrassment not only To the Raiders and to all the warriors who worked their asses off. Sorry but I am glad not to see him play again...hopefully EVER!"

- Bill Romanowski

He would be on waivers. We could just claim him
Posted via Mobile Device

we had his cousin Leron McClain who was a gigantic turd waste and probably only has bad things to say about the Chiefs why we would want the same exact culture in Rolando

Hayworth Hicks - G - Chiefs
Chiefs claimed OG Hayworth Hicks off waivers from the Jets.
Tampa Bay also put in a claim on Hicks. He spent three weeks on the Jets' active roster after being signed off Indianapolis' practice squad. It's purely a depth move.
Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter

In related Waiver wire news. Are we always number 1 in the waiver order?

That settles it! Put the claim in immediately! Because I would do everything opposite of what this douche nozzle thinks.

Yeah but at least Pioli is on his way out. Chokeland has a much longer history of not developing talent. Most of the faids best players come from someplace else. I guarantee you if McClain went to a team with better coaches he wouldn't have been such a failure.

FYP

Great minds think alike, haha

And now we can't do it with an improved team from the one that won 10 games two years ago and was picked to win the AFC West this year.

Jerry McDonald ‏@Jerrymcd

If Raiders put McClain on waivers, he can be picked up on the cheap but at a huge cost next 3 years. A five-game tryout.

:doh!::doh!:

Rolando's got some fans. Bit of an immaturity problem, but possibly could grow up with a change of scenery. Big, strong, smart, but missing something that makes a complete adult. Hits like a freight train when he feels like it. Gave up on Oaktown which is why his playing time was reduced. Look at him whiff on 3rd &1 (20 second mark): http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-h...als-highlights Doubt that he could make the KC defense any worse.... might actually make it better. Looks like Rihanna might have to get a red jersey.



http://www.raiderfans.net/forum/atta...8729_012_0.jpg

Agree entirely. He isn't going to make this defense worse. Worst case scenario, he provides an upgrade as a 1/2-down run defender who brings some hits/blows up blockers for DJ. He's more athletic, stronger and quicker IMO than becher with better instincts and is better in coverage, specifically in recognition and coming up from hs drops to make plays. Absolutely struggles in man coverage but I don't think e'd be asked to do that here. I'm not advocating we play him like Bowman and have him in on all our passing subs, but he'd definitely be a positive addition in our base front IMO.

He said he was looking forward to playing for an actual "team".

That rules out KC, where "team" is spelled P-I-O-L-I.
