Raider Fans Take on Middleton

[WitheringPlant]

, actually are some pretty cool fans, believe it or not

Just don't give away your address or phone number.
While you are at it, don't tell them your hemisphere either.

 

[SABA-TOOTH]

again added depth...

it means someone is a question mark and we needed him

 

[FinsAreLife]

Ummmm....why would their be Raiders fans on a Finheaven web site? :confused:

he went to the raiders site to ask the questions

It looks like Middleton is a clutch player, definatley something we need, I hate losing to the Pats at the end of the year, because I live in Patsy land and have to hear to all of their "Choke" BS. Not that we dont have clutch players, but it is good to get one where it is crucial to be clutch, the O-Line.

The thing for me is that we have a guy who can play. If he ends up playing 7 games or something, that is seven games more that we have time to 1) find other guys 2) keep and get Seth mckinney off our roster. Playa's want to play in South Florida! YES!!!!

Heres a quote from Ben Maller after the OAK-TB Superbowl, where Middleton and Warren Sapp went head to head (remember, this was the prime of Warren Sapp's career).

Quote:
Warren Sapp's play during last week's Super Bowl was inconsequential as it related to the Bucs' win. He was not double-teamed - repeat: not double-teamed. Rather, he was dominated, head-to-head, by Raiders' OL Frank Middleton. Play after play Middleton had Sapp on his heels. But style-fueled notions rule the media and the day. Sapp, both on and off the field, has shown a career-long penchant for both coveting and generating attention. And starting with ABC, last Sunday, the media played it his way.

Warren Sapp will get $63,000 as his winner's share from the Super Bowl -- plus another $250,000 for appearing on The Jimmy Kimmel Show. That's just wrong.

Wasn't this right before Sapp was traded to Oakland and did a disappearing act?

That was 1999 when we played Oakland on Halloween. Guess you had a birthday that year too. :)

Went to a raider message board and posted these questions up, figured I should ask some people who have actually seen him play, here are the answers they gave me, I think you will like them.......

Question:
1) How good was he when he was with you?
2) Do you think he still has something left in him, or nothing left?
3) Why was he released?


Thanks any answers are greatly appreciated.



Answer1:

1.he was ok but injuries got to him and he did lose his starting job to Robert Gallery I think.
2.He does if he can stay healthy,hes a above average Lineman,he just has to stay healthy.
3.Dunno...

Answer2:

1. He was a solid lineman but no pro bowler. Injury prone.
2. Yes
3. Injury prone and we had a younger group of players.

Answer3:

He was a big part of one of the best lines in the league in 2002. But he has had problems with injuries and weight since then. If he can keep his weight down and stay on the field then he will be a very good run blocker for you.

Man does this get me pumped up, I cant wait for this season, heck I CANNOT wait for this monday night game, just to see them, GO PHINS:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

THANK YOU FOR THE POSITIVE FEELINGS!!!!!!!!

Sapp played one more season in Tampa Bay after their SB win before going to Oakland last year as a free agent.

 

[Mike13]

That sounds good.

 

[phinphan11]

Sapp played one more season in Tampa Bay after their SB win before going to Oakland last year as a free agent.

And then did a disappearing act.... My point was that the poster said, "remember, this was the prime of Warren Sapp's career",.... It obviously was not.

 

[paskerbrandon]

Heres some more junk they had to say.....

- thought he was a solid player when he was healthy. He was cut because he became too expensive in Al's mind. I don't think he was happy on the team either.

- He definitely won't hurt your team. I thought he was very solid.

- when he is on the field, he is mean and nasty...he likes to late hit, i always liked him

- Middleton is a solid guard. He's a tough and dirty. i remember watching the bucs game from last year, simeon rice was complaining to the referees about middleton

- I really liked him, but unfortunatlly, he was a cap casualty.

- i liked the guy. i just wish he could have kept the weight down and stayed healthy.
he was one of my favorites the last few years.

- he was a real caveman. i like the helloutta him.

Heres the link, http://mb26.scout.com/fraidersfansfrm4.showMessage?topicID=3892.topic

Seems like they really like him, injuries and weight are concerns, but as they said he was solid.

Mark Dixon used to dominate Sapp during his prime. I'd even heard him say he respected the hell outta Mark Dixon.
