The first game I played. We played against the Dallas Texans.

I think the tougher the challenge the better.

If the entire team can feel the same way about these things, you can consistently remain a winner.

I think Ray Guy and John Madden for sure should be in the Hall of Fame and Cliff Branch should be as well.

There is hard hitting, but the hitting is not nearly as hard as it used to be.

Everyone wants to beat us. So you can never take a single game lightly.

I think the officials and NFL owners are playing to the type of game that people want to see.

You have to stay one level above everyone else.

I also played in the 1967 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.

When I hear anything derogatory towards the Raiders, I am definitely hurt.

But now there are more concussions due to not being used to the hard hitting.

I have been a part of this development, so I am very proud of it.

It’s not that difficult to win. It’s more difficult to win consistently and stay on top.

It was a very exciting time for me to play professional football, finally.

I’ve been a Raider all my life.

I work here at the Raiders. My position is basically what I make it.

I was told in high school that the last game during your senior year stays with you forever, which is true.

We have three tremendous tight ends in Christianson, Casper, and Chester.

The first game I played. We played against the Dallas Texans.

And as a true athlete, mistakes haunt you forever.

The plays I remember are the plays I made a mistake.

The NFL offensive blocking is played differently; they use their hands instead of their head and shoulders.

You must also give mental and physical fitness priority.

If something is said about the Raiders, I’m ready to go to war.

Everyday I walked on to the field I was the best center.

We have always had great and loyal fans in Oakland.

I have seen the Raiders develop into what they are today.
