Ray Ratto makes the case for the Lorenzo Neal signing:
Here's hoping.Neal's is the type of signing the Raiders are often accused of making too seldom - that of the guy who spreads belief on the ground and in the room. His M.O. has been as the man who takes the "dys" out of "dysfunction," because he has done it with bad, mediocre and good teams in his career. He also knows that he can't be taken seriously if he can't lead with his play, and if he couldn't play, Al Davis would have tried to find someone else who does what he does.
Only there isn't anyone like Neal even at this stage of his career. Training with Liddell alone doesn't make that happen. Though this minicamp is showing off the Raiders' much-discussed draft class, Lorenzo Neal's arrival might be the more important development. If he can do what he has done in his other stops, he will be worth his weight in Darrius Heyward-Bey's money.

I was about to blog on this article myself. I'm very happy about this signing. Great presence in the locker room, huddle, and in the hole while McFadden turns on the jets.
Just look at the way Garcia and Neal are talking. The Raiders are hoping this year's "dis" is discipline. That will make a huge difference.
