Hue Jackson's Tribute to Al Davis
The Raiders’ emotions overflowed after they beat the Texans on the day after Al Davis’s death.Tim Kawakami, The Mercury News:HOUSTON — They were ecstatic, they were sad, they were yelling, they were regularly close to tears. The Raiders were all <a href="http://www.ghdhairstraighteners-australia.com/new-ghd-wave-limited-edition-flat-iron-p-7.html"><strong>New GHD Wave Limited Edition Flat Iron</strong></a> of those things Sunday, and still it wasn’t quite enough to express what this franchise and those players went through this weekend.Jackson, too, was hit by the fervor of the final moments, and he sunk to his knees with moisture in his eyes.Raiders Coach Hue Jackson said it was as if Davis had a hand in the game-clinching interception. Kawakami said Davis’s guiding hand could be seen in other ways.It was fitting that Janikowski was such a dominant force in this game. Fitting that another Davis favorite, Darrius Heyward-Bey, caught a touchdown and had a career day. And fitting that Huff — yet another Davis guy — <a href="http://www.ghdhairstraighteners-australia.com/new-ghd-iv-purple-hair-straightener-p-19.html"><strong>New GHD IV Purple Hair Straightener</strong></a> made the game saving play. “He loved his players — that’s one thing for sure,” defensive end Richard Seymour said. “That came through.”The teary locker-room speech byÂ* Jackson can be seen here. In his news conference, Jackson’s respect and love for Davis, to use Seymour’s words, came through."Trust me when I tell you, this is Coach Davis' football team and I'm <a href="http://www.ghdhairstraighteners-australia.com/ghd-deluxe-midnight-collection-flat-iron-p-11.html"><strong>GHD Deluxe Midnight Collection Flat Iron</strong></a> just getting the opportunity to run it and to lead it."I have listened to him on so many different occasions about our players need to do and what they can and what they can't do. This is going to be my guiding light as I continue to go through this season.”Extra point: After the tributes to Davis in the last 48 hours, have you changed your opinion of him?
