Cartwright, It is time to award the prizes for the Raiders 2010 season. Like their prices hands NFL, players on this team Raiders have done enough to win some recognition and award.

In previous seasons, award prizes may seem trivial. After all, when you cannot go beyond the five-win plateau, there is little reason to price or celebration. It sounded more like a “lesser evil” situation. But with the Raiders compete for the first time in eight years; there are many thieves who deserve recognition for their efforts and contribution.

This was probably the most difficult decision among these prices. When Jacoby Ford has three return touchdowns and Sebastian Janikowski sets single-season scoring record, it can be a difficult choice. But how can we ignore the contributions”Cartwright on special teams? He plays in coverage and blocks on returns. Ford ran through some big blocks Paydirt par”’Cartwright and the Raiders did not give up any shot hit back thanks largely to the coverage deals with”’Cartwright. He blocked a punt in week five win over the Chargers that were recovered for a touchdown Raider. Heck, Rock even returned kicks. It was everywhere! He was the Raiders’ all-purpose special teams guru. And he played all the duties he had with the accuracy and enthusiasm. This cannot be underestimated and every coach in this league you would probably say they would like to have five guys like him in their team.

Nnamdi Asomugha is the type of player who is irreplaceable. This was proven when he was in a game and played limited minutes in the next because of injury. These two games were both losses eruption in Pittsburgh and Miami. The Raiders gave a combined 68 points in two games. Most passing yards and touchdowns have been waived through a mosaic of corners trying to take over the absence of Nnamdi / injury. I said then that the value of Asomugha to this team is often not fully realized until there is not. The Raiders will be hoping they can re-sign him so they will not learn this lesson the hard way.

I was half tempted not the name of the MVP team at all because the success of the season was so much a team effort. I went back and forth and even considered a couple of guys who have not been mentioned here. Cases can be made for the value of several players Raider. But that just goes to show you how the Raiders have played in various fields of the season. The beautiful game spread around the hero comes out of nowhere. Remember the slogan of this year was Raider? “The superior man.” They certainly live up to that motto.

The Clash, The Clash is an English punk rock band that formed in 1976 as part of the initial wave of British punk. With punk, their music incorporates elements of reggae, ska, dub, funk, rap, dance and rockabilly. For most of their recording career, The Clash consisted of Joe Strummer (vocals, rhythm guitar), Mick Jones (guitar, vocals), Paul Simonon (bass, vocals, occasional vocals) and Nicky “Topper” Headon (drums, percussion). Headon left the band in 1982, and internal friction led to the departure of Jones the following year. The group continued with new members, but finally disbanded in early 1986.

The Clash commercial success in the United Kingdom with the release of their debut album, The Clash, in 1977. Their third album, London Calling, released in the United Kingdom in December 1979, brought them popularity in the United States when he left there the following month. Critically acclaimed, it was declared the best album of the 1980s a decade later rolling Stone magazine.

Politicized lyrics of The Clash, musical experimentation, and rebellious attitude had a profound influence on rock, alternative rock in particular.
They became widely known as “The only group that counts,” originally a promotional slogan developed by the group’s label, CBS. In January 2003, the soundtrack, including drummer Terry Chimes-were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked The Clash number 30 on their list of 100 greatest artists of all time.
Prior to founding The Clash, future members of the group have been active in different parts of the music scene in London. John Graham Mellor sang and played rhythm guitar in the pub rock 101’ers act, which was formed in 1974. When The Clash came together two years later, he had abandoned his original stage name, “Woody” Mellor, in favor of “Joe Strummer”, a reference to his rudimentary strumming skills on the ukulele as an artist street in the London Underground. Mick Jones played guitar in the proto-group London SS, which repeated for much of 1975 without ever playing a live show and recording a demo single. London SS was managed by Bernard Rhodes, a partner sometimes impresario Malcolm McLaren and a friend of the band McLaren managed the Sex Pistols. Jones and his associates became friends with Glen Matlock Sex Pistols, Steve Jones, who could help them as they tried to potential new members.
The Clash has also inspired many musicians who were only loosely associated, if necessary, with the punk. The band embrace of ska, reggae and Jamaican subculture in England has given the impetus for the 2 Tone movements that emerged amid fallout from the explosion of punk. [via wikipedia]
