We can run anything we want on offense We can have M

Was this the first sign of Schumi making his moveImmediately after, the new born Mercedes GP master Norbert Haug publicly claimed that there would be a surprise in their line up for 2010 and that they are looking for strong German drivers. Is this a big clue tooGoing back in history again, it is well known in the motorsport circles that Michael Schumacher was a Mercedes driver before his F1 days and that Mercedes even paid for his debut drive with Jordan in 1991. So will Michael Schumacher really moveScribes have reported that Schumi met with Ross and the Chairman of Diamler Chysler post the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and they were chalking out a one year return for Schumi post-which he would hand over the mantle to yet another German prodigy, Sebastian Vettel. 2010 has only gotten more interesting and Merc GP has already become the team to beat. . Spain have returned to the top of the FIFA World Rankings, as published yesterday, replacing Brazil, who had held the No. 1 position for the previous four months.The Confederations Cup champions now occupy second place after friendly wins over England and Oman last week. Spain beat Argentina 2-1 in Madrid before crushing Austria 5-1 in Vienna on Wednesday night.Portugal are the big movers in the top 10, rising five places to fifth position after safely securing their passage to South Africa via a playoff with Bosnia Herzegovina.France also climbed a couple of places on the back of their controversial playoff victory over the Republic of Ireland.The two countries feel the benefit this month of having played competitive World Cup Qualifying matches, which are extremely valuable in terms of ranking points.It is for this reason that FIFA have announced that the October rankings will be used to determine the seedings for the World Cup draw on Dec. 4 due to the November rankings giving an unfair advantage to the European nations who played competitive games while every team who had already qualified played friendlies.Also feeling the benefit from winning play-off matches were Greece and Uruguay, who rose four and six places respectively.Cameroon and Cote dIvoire also made good progress, climbing three places each, after successfully rounding off their World Cup Qualifying campaigns.Outside of the top 20, Nigeria have moved up 10 places to 22ndafter booking their place in South Africa next summer against all odds.Slovenia were rewarded for their surprise playoff win over Russia on away-goals with a rise of 16 places to 33rdposition, their highest ranking since January 2004.

First and foremost thanks for the reads and your comments. I'm coming to you now with a question. We've all been hearing about this whole "wild-kat" offense the M.D.'s are running; We've all seen other teams looking to add it into their repertoire so why not the RaidersI've been thinking about the quarterback situation (as you all know) and of course the name Mike Vick comes to mind but, I never really wanted to think about dealing with the whole dog and pony show (pardon the pun) that would have come along with having him added to the roster. However, I haven't heard anything (worth writing) about Mike Vick being a problem (with PETA) and I know he'd love to get on the field and some burn.Let's keep it simple, for the most part this is all a variation of the college option and to run this thing you need a versatile backfield; You need a QB who's a danger to run it or throw it, and you need a couple of backs, at least one of whom can throw a decent pass and the both need to be able to catch along with having the ability get to the edge quick.I know there may be some questions regarding the hands of McFadden but I'm not all that worried about him having too many problems catching that pitch from Mike and flying down that side line (can you see it - in your Raider eye) and, I'm surprised to be typing this but Justin "baby huggy bear" Fargas I just love the heart this kid runs with! Furthermore, I would have to say that I trust him to run it, I trust him to catch it, and I trust him to throw it. Now all we'd need to add to the mix is the dual threat quarterback so, enter Mike Vick.Look, I'm not here trying to make a case for the Raiders bringing Mike to the team; I'm just wondering what are your thoughts on adding something potential dangerous (to a defense) to our offensive package. Keep this in mind brother and sisters Al wants to get back to glory before he no longer graces us with his physical presence. Therefore, I'm thinking that he's thinking the team really need to just win NOW baby I love the idea of drafting a great QB prospect.

However, I would also have to say that l would not mind having a proven vet, a guy who has already led his team to a WINNING season, a guy who has already won a playoff game (on the road).We can run anything we want on offense We can have M.V under center and let M.B soften up the defense We can have M.V. under center or in the gun and do what ever we want even if we have Justin and McFad in the back. We can have Mike motion out in the flat and direct snap it to McFad and let him run it or we could snap it to Huggie Jr and let him toss it to Mike and let Vick be Vick. These are just random plays that come to mind as I'm typing to you imagine what the staff could come up with I don't need to go in into the stats we know the story As I said... (or should that be wrote) I'm thinking about what would make this squad dangerous; What might worry me if I were playing defenseTo quote one of my favorite actors "You've gotta ask your self a question" Do you wanna be that guy defending the edge (alone) going up against Mike Vick and McFadd. Not only is it going to be running on Sports Center it's going to be running in their own film room!So RAIDER NATION holla at me and let me know what you're thinking; One way or another this situation at QB has to be resolved, and really it needs to be resolved quickly.

this might be just the war paint that the team needs to put fear in the heart of the opposing defense. Furthermore, Al has never been one to be shy so the name Mike Vick won't scare him (especially since Mike will have already "done his time" in the league, and with the "wild-kat" on the loose should the Raiders look to tame it Terrell WhiteRaider from birth.. Two games in a row, the Colorado Avalanche came flying out of the gate to wallop their opponent.Two games in a row, the Colorado Avalanche went home with zero points.Hockey is a 60-minute game. Right now, the Avalanche are playing a 40-minute game.Up 4-3 at the end of the second period against the lowly Oilers, Colorado decided to stop trying and lost 6-4.Last night, they gave an encore, blowing a 2-1 third period lead en route to anembarrassing 5-2 loss to Vancouver. I thought this was supposed to be a young, hard-working, enthusiastic team.Last year if they blew a lead, who cares It was a geezer team with a boatload of players going through the motions to get a check in the mail.That's not the case anymore. This year, the roster is almost exclusively filled with players who are looking, or at least should be looking, to establish themselves as NHL players.For the most part, they've shown promise. A 13-7-3 record is a tremendous accomplishment for a team many fans called a "lock" for projected 2010 first overall draft choice Taylor Hall.What's troubling isn't the 10 losses, it's how many of them came inwinnable games.The Avalanche are 1-4-1 in their last six games, and they can attribute that record to their play in the third period: out shot 49-36 and outscored 14-3 in the five losses.Two-period hockey doesn't win games, and that's what Colorado is playing right now. They could be 16-5-2 right now if they wouldn't have blown three third-period leads (against Chicago, Edmonton, and Vancouver) in the last five games.At this stage in the season, one has only two choices.They can be satisfied with the knowledge that Craig Anderson has established himself as a No.
