Raiders LB Raekwon McMillan could start, 'ready to compete' vs Dolphins team that traded him

[Dolph N.Fan]

The primary goal for McMillan is to prove he is more than just a run-stopping linebacker. In his first two years, he’s become known for being limited to stopping the run while being a liability in coverage. The Raiders may have no choice but to give him the chance to outplay his reputation. Whether he can do it or not could be the difference in whether they can hold the line against a tough Dolphins team.

Just prior to the start of the season, the Raiders sent a fourth-round pick to Miami. Well, they sent a fourth-round pick *back* to Miami because they had just acquired that pick in a trade that se…

Sounds like good news for Bowden Jr!

Send Gesicki right at/over him

I always liked McMillan. Watched the Chargers Raiders game last week and he was almost the hero of the game. Goal line run Tackle in overtime to prevent a TD, next play he forced a fumble on a Herbert scramble that ended up being recovered by chargers, next try Herbert got it in. But it was a strong sequence by the former Dolphin, he’s a limited player but he’s a super talented run defender

Have Gesiki run ten yards route all night long. Love it.

The McMillan Bowden Jr. Bowl!

McMillian is first class individual.

I wish he was better in coverage, and therefore still here.

 

[OmegaPhinsFan]

Who?

 

[hoops]

I don’t see where elandon roberts is any better in coverage or plays with more range

 

[Danny]

He's not with us anymore so who cares? I'm focus on our team/players. Good luck to him when he's not playing against us but that's it.

If we found a very solid #2/3 receiver going forward because of that trade, I'll take it...its starting to look like we won that one...I'd personally rather have Bowden Jr. Best of luck to McMillan (except against us).

 

[DuderinoN703]

Meh. No one cares.

 

[MARINO1384]

Always liked him, it’s a shame we didn’t keep him for 1st down but I could see why he was sent off. Flores likes versatile playmakers and van ginkel has probably gotten and made the most of those extra reps he got when McMillan was traded
