Warren Sapp Thinks Al Davis is Old
Warren Sapp was a guest on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL” and he had some interesting things to say about the Oakland Raiders and their owner Al Davis.
“Al Davis knows football — it’s just ’60s and ’70s football. That’s what it is. He’s thinking that Cliff Branch is outside and [Jim] Plunkett is dropping back and you can throw it 80 yards down the field — deep ball, deep ball, deep ball,” Sapp said.
“Al Davis is the total bottom line, buck stops right there,” Sapp continued to say. “I remember one time we had a defensive game plan because we were struggling against the run. We were going to get our safeties and put them up in the box and almost have a nine-man front. We practiced this thing 80 percent of the time on Wednesday and Thursday. We showed up that Friday morning, [defensive coordinator] Rob Ryan came in and he looked like someone had just shot his dog. He said he [Davis] pulled it on us … He snatched the teeth out of our defense.”
As for Lane Kiffin, Sapp doesn’t think he ever got a fair shot.
“He came in there with a change of mentality. The whole system,” Sapp told “Inside the NFL”. “He changed how the locker room looked because it was going to take that kind of overhaul for Oakland to become the proud franchise we all knew it was.”
Sapp pretty much confirmed everything we already knew about Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders. They will continue to suck until Al Davis is 6-feet under.
