Rolando McClain to be cut by Raiders - mdrake34 - 11-29-2012 02:01 PM
Obligatory bring him home, TD thread. He's an idiot, but he was a helluva player at Bama.

I always wonder about players like this....is the attitude problem a symptom of losing or feeling as thoguh you are beaten down week in and week out? If he came to a locker room like ours would he turn it around (like the patriots have done with several problem children?) - I would love to bolster our LB corps if he cleared waivers, I just wonder if the fact he took to twitter before anything was official if that would also be seen as a problem....
I don't care for bring him home threads....because a lot of times the juice is not worth the squeeze....however I think Babin (had he cleared waivers), Okoye (who I still would think was an upgrade over Perry and possibly others on our D-line who ride the bench mostly), and McClain (again if he clears waivers - who might be a nice addition for the rotation and would play in Nolan's style) could all be contributors.....with our DBs ailing we need our D-line and LB corps to step up significantly.....I would carry McClain or Okoye over guys like WR Tim Toone (who likely will rarely if ever see the field!)
