Hester has to be the smallest fullback in the NFL.

Russell looks like he's never played the game before!

Do you actually watch football? He has nowhere to go with the ball. They are running two routes per passing play again one of the best pair of starting CBs in the league.

Oh yeah Eddie fricking Curry is his #1 WR.

Yet he blew up his guy clearing the way for LT's first TD....

Pretty sure tonight's his first start at FB - and he's on kickoff and punt coverage. So he's getting pretty good playing time...

You can tell Hester hasn't played FB in a long while. They drafted him to be a RB, not a FB...just pulling emergency duty. But whatever gets him playing time.

Don't even get me started on Russell. I fricking hate the organization that is the Raiders. Die Al Davis.

Poor Craig Davis. Looks like he'll end up being a mega-bust.

Yeah I think Craig got injured again and is out the rest of the season. Chargers seem to think he
gets injured too much.

Russell is injured again as well.
The Raider team is mostly a conglomeration of misfits. They can't block, can't tackle, and can't cover. I can't imagine, based on talent evaluation and the money they have spent, in the last couple of years, that Russell will ever reach his potential. If he doesn't get frustrated and give up maybe his contract will expire and he can get a shot with a real football team.

Hester has looked pretty good at full back but he's looking starting to see what it's like at the RB position in mop up duty.

Hester did the fourth and One again for 5 yds. He is getting it done. Thanks to his help I got an LT td for my fantasy team.

I watched the first quarter of that game and if I was grading film on his performance he would have graded out at least 95%. He truly whiffed on ONE block that I saw and his man had already taken himself out of the play. That is a wash in my book. He had SEVERAL good blocks AND even drove a few LB's out of the gap a few times. Then he makes a diving tackle on special teams. This guy along with Dorsey was the heart and soul of our team last year.

Buster Davis was put on IR a week or two ago. He was a bust this season anyways because of a lingering groin injury.

I thought Hester did a good job tonight blocking. He stuck with his blocks and followed through. I don't think LT trusts him yet and that was one of the problems. I saw him catch a nice screen pass and get a few yards. I think Hester will be like the fullback from the Giants who is small but does a lot. They really like him in San Diego.

it's kind of funny you ask him if he actually watches football.
Zach Miller the tight end is his #1 target, has the most receptions on the team.
