To settle all these arguments, Scott is still listed as a DE on teh Raiders official site. And as the preseason went on, he saw more and more action at DE. Scott is gonna move between DE and WLB, depending on the situation. My guess is, in a 4-3 allignment, in a run situation Houston will play LDE with Scott playing WLB. In a pass situation, Scott will shift to LDE as a rusher with Howard or Goethel moving to WLB. Scott will be standing and have his hand on the dirt depending on the situation.
they didnt bench howard for scott scott played sam and we never had a sam lb howard was hurt in week nine and back by week 11 he was benched for two games for some other reason butt not for scott, scott is a sam lb guys and howard is the will and please believe that the raiders will play some 34 this year guys
@RaiderRaph Guy I am 100% certain that Trevor Scott is the starting WLB. No doubt in my mind. Cable has said this, go to espn.com and search Thomas Howard in the AFC West blog. It says that he is benched in favor of Trevor Scott. Cable has confirmed this. Kamerion Wimbley is starting at SLB. You can also go to rotoworld and search Trevor Scott it also says he is starting at weak side LB. Howard was benched last season for Scott, go look it up. Go to mahalo.com/trevor-scott.
@RaiderRaph And if Trevor Scott is playing SAM what was Kamerion Wimbley brought in for? Did we trade a third round pick for him to sit the bench? Cable has said in interviews that are on the Raiders official website that says Scott is the Will, Wimbley is the SAM, and Howard is second string. Howard will still see a lot of playing time, but Cable said that Scott and Wimbley will be playing OLB because the team has to get better at defending the run. Howard is terrible against the run.
i went to high school with Lamarr my freshman year. no clue why he stayed in colorado springs for football, but look, the pastors son made it.(his father or mother works for the church been too long to remember). thats some hard work. this fool was TRUCKIN people at playin fullback in high school. Playing against him was a fucking joke... keep an eye on him the next couple seasons.
Lamarr, congratulations on being selected by the Oakland Raiders in the 2010 NFL Draft. I know that you are excited and looking forward to entering the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. Best of luck.
Texas defense players struggle and under achieve in the NFL. Derrick Johsnon, Michael Huff. I hope Lamarr Houston makes an immediate impact as a rookie. Playing next to Richard Seymour and Tommy Kelly should help him out.
@raider123456789123 I'm just not sure why so many of these writters are stressing Richard Seymore and his contract. The man is going to get paid over 12 million. He's spending time with his family and enjoying his vacation. He'll be in Camp on time. People just chill!
Houston- "I was very alated, I'm happy to be a Raider. So much history in there and their fans; I grew up in California; I was born in San Francisco. My brother-in-law used to make me watch all types of Raiders games when he was dating my sister."
Actually, he is from The Bay and loves Oakland Ca. He lived 20 minutes from Oakland. He is very happy to be a Raider and the Raiders are going to kick a lot of ass this year after recieving an A+, 2010 draft... awarded by NFL network. A lot of teams are done going into 2010 but it's not the Raiders this year... sorry. AFC West just got easier for the Raiders and everyone who is someone knows it.
If he seriously doesn't want to play for Oakland he can always hold out the entire season then re-enter the draft. Although that would probably really hurt him as a prospect, not to mention all the money he would lose. His best bet is to just play out his contract and see who would want him in free agency.
On a side note, if he swung on Cable the entire team would beat him down. lol
I'm glad we got a DT this time instead of a DE for cryin out loud Al please don't draft anymore DEs! CBs is our next 4 biggest needs someone like AOA or that CB from UCLA or USC! maybe a QB like Snead,LeFavour, Brown, or Pike!
@reezy0011 ight tom cable goes off on HOUSTON he gon light his ass up!!! dont mess with HOUSTON trust me hes already mad about playing for raiders n possibly DE
@reezy0011 go to the the video of when he got drafted you can clearly see the expression on his face that hes mad. Hes mad at the fact that that he wil play DE not a DT which is his primary position.But it is wat it is just wish him good luck. If you really look at other teams necessities they needed DT's and Oakland honestly does not need a new "WARREN SAPP" they need a QB. He probably wanted to go to a team who needs him
@LBJJAGUAR05 They got Jason Campbell. Why would the Raiders have drafted another QB when they messed on Russell? Don't try to act like you know everything, cause all the reports from minicamp is Houston is going at it, so obviously he is having a good time and happy to be with the Raiders.
@Raiderman1988 Langston Walker and Rock Cartwright are gettin pissed at Houston cuz hes goin too hard. Walker threw him down and a scuffle broke out. I think thats the best thing to happen to the Raiders.... A player (rookie at that) that actually gives a fuck. GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!
@LeezNuhtz this is the same as my lineup too but. Howard will not be replace.
Its going to be a fight for the starting job with Wimbley and Scott(dont get me wrong scott is a savage as well wimbley) but Thomas Howard will be starting.
@drunkhmong yeah well he'll definitely be used on passing downs with morrison out of the picture. the only reason i dont see him starting is cuz they went with scott over him last season. we'll see though.. i liked howard and morrison but we were gettin ran through easier than drunk girls on prom night. as far as D i hope they could get huff playin cb branch at free safety and mike mitchell at strong.
@drunkhmong nah now that i think about it... wimbley wasnt brought in to fight for anything. he got his spot. and howard lost his spot to scott last year and i dont see why its gonna be any different this year..... UNLESS somebody doesnt step up in the passing game.
Scott is playing WLB, Wimbley is playing SLB, and both are running with the first team offense in training camp. Howard was benched in favor of Scott last season as well. Howard has already been replaced. The majority of his work will come in nickle formations, and obvious passing downs.
@LivingLegendWFC no way howard is still a starter as of today and last year when scott steped in he played de or sam lb scott is to slow to play will scott well be seeing snaps at sam and de so he will see the feiled alot , remember the raiders are one of the few teams who still play majority man defense , so we cant sit our best coverage lb for a de
@reezy0011 never really did i was scared of the guy when i met him. And by the way for u and JohnTheHater i do know most of the texas football team. Y? Texas has D.J. Grant on their rosters. He was a WR converted to tight end that went to my high school (LBJ High School,Austin Texas) He Brought up Texas players to our school and explained to us the college life. Players including James Kirkendroll WR,Britt Mitchell OL,Jared Norton MLB. Thats why i have close connection to texas.
@reezy0011 i know DJ Grant's little brother also to the same school i go to Brandon Grant fine athlete good Varsity Quality kid only an upcoming Sophomore play Wideout with him
@LBJJAGUAR05 check google most nfl players come from dillard some school in cali and pompano beach ely but the funny thing is dillard is our rival we call it the soul bow when we battle .
Wow, this guy draws the double team almost every play, and when he doesn't he beats the guard trying to block him. Impressive. Hope he can do this at the pro level for the Raiders!
So, my Raider fan buddy asked me about him. In my opinion, he has never really stood out or dominated enough for me to feel he was worth a 2nd round pick in this draft. He's a steady player, but he's not really quick enough for the 3 technique nor is he big enough to be a 1-technique in a 4 man front. Rumors are that you guys are going to a 3-4 based on the current picks. If that's the case, him as a 5 would be OK, but still, I would like to see more quickness.
@boilerbuzz already said by cable. the raiders are going to be a base 4-3 team with some "wrinkles" those wrinkles being that there going to be play lots of 3-4. its the only thing that makes sense for the picks and people on the roster now.
@SeanDa2nd Kirk Morrison can't hold the middle. Simple as that. Draft McClain to anchor that front 7 and put a good young DT in front of him (Lamarr Houston). Its an automatic upgrade from out porous run defense from the previous years.
Ok we needed to replace the RDT.....should be a good fit with tommy kelly......As a raider fan, our defense better be ready for the challenge to hold teams to 14pts......raiders defense is looking solid
Love this kid. Glad Oakland is drafting the way they need to. Tommy Kelly best look out for his job or step up his play. Fighter at DT and now a leader in Rolando McClain. Great job to Tom Cable and Al Davis so far.....hopefully they keep this up.
he came in to my work today lol he was so big
