Looking for a Place to Hang My Hopes...

...rather than myself.

Jerry's finally back online, and he's got some insight from both Cable and DHB. Cable reads from Al's notes to say this was the guy the Raiders targeted a month ago. He perhaps reaches (for at least the second time today) by suggesting that they feared another team would trade up to beat the Raiders to him.

But...at least Jerry has this to say about Heyward-Bey:

Heyward-Bey, by the way, seems like an earnest, hardworking young man. He sounded nothing like a diva, said he modeled his work ethic after Jerry Rice and is confident his skills will translate into bigger stats at the NFL level.

He said he never worried about his status in college, believing wins far outweighed any numbers he accumulated.

Given his numbers, that's a good thing.
