I don't see where you guys think he can't play or that he's over the hill. The last couple of years you think he didn't have great seasons just because he didn't have a lot of sacks. Well the Tampa defense didn't have a ton of sacks, they were a speed defense that worked on schemes and he was a huge part of it. He plugged up the middle and forced the passer into rushing his decisions so that those linebackers and secondary could make the big plays. He's important in that way with or without the big numbers.
But then again the Raiders seem to be a place where guys go and get revitalized and pull a couple big years out of their ass that no one had left in them. Virtually every player that goes to the Raiders is surprised by the intensity of the fans and the mystique of the Silver and Black. I bet he gets in a little better shape and gets a little extra mean for this year and then we'll see what happens.
