Got fed up with him by year 2, and will never forget that stupid-a$$ fumble against the Falcons.

It still amazes me how many people "will never forget that fumble", but also "never remember" that we still would have lost the game if he hadn't made that int in the first place.

trash from a former regime, belongs in the same heap as manny lawson, taylor mays etc etc. Not to mention the countless other players who did nothing once they left us,, rumph, winborn, etc etc

I thought that was Dre Bly?

I think he means the one from the year after.

I have no ill will against Nate. He was good the first few years, and he never was a loudmouth.

My biggest problem was when he tried to jump the route he was either right and made a big INT, or the WR ran for six points.

Bly also had one, I believe a year before Clements' one. Bly showboated after being down by like 30 or 35 points. Clements was a huge Interception or fumble recovery, but didn't go down, instead went for the endzone, didn't secure the ball, and batted away.

That game also saw Taylor Mays with a blocked punt into end zone for a TD, probably his only good moment as a 49er.

His to talented and doesn't have enough Baggage to be a Rajder .

Raiders are in desperate need of corners.

Nate Clements and Shawntae Spencer together again. Raiders could have our two starting CB's from 2010.
