I agree that they are more likely to trade the 17th than the late first rounder, unless there is a player too good to pass up. Considering that the 33rd pick is the FIRST pick of Day 2 of the draft, I expect that there will be high demand for the pick and that they may trade it if they get a good to great offer. Just my

This is what I'm trying to tell people. 2-8 is more telling than 6-0. I still think he should be given one more year, but it wasn't possible since the option was for 2. I think if his option years were to start NEXT year, he'd be here for the 2011 season.

I'm not pissed until we find out who the next "guy" is. Cable was a likable guy truth is he is an Offensive line coach who even this year had some really questionable moves/calls regarding his expertise in that area. Although 8-8 is a big step Cable seemed awfully content with that - when truth is we left at least 3 games this year that we honestly should've won.


I'd like some continuity with Hue staying on board but if its a new complete regime.....i'll be a little pissed

I don't see Cable on any other sideline, he was just perfect for the Raider image. Big brute looking guy who breaks jaws when pissed.

did you not see him as the Falcons O-line coach too

I'll admit I do like the Cable guy i'd much rather he stayed as the o-line coach but that was never a possibility once promoted years back. When he was handling the play calling he was terrible, but then he was given Jabustus to work with too.

I like the guy, I think he got a raw deal but I also don't think he is a great HC.

He's no signal caller. That's a craft that only a few excel at, others are good to decent. But Cable can get an o-line to get their shit together. I warmed up to him late but still had reservations as the season's mistakes took shape. Not completely his fault though.

no doubt. I agree it was the right move for Davis to take away the play calling and give it to Hue, but he did an admirable job with what he was handed in the position he was in.

Theres just better options at HC than Cable, but Al's never been one to think much of the HC importance. He likes to have his puppets...
