Al always respected the opinions of the players, if Sapp went to Jerry Jones to change the D-line like that i doubt it would've lead to the same outcome.
Al was basically a D coordinator throughout his ownership of the Raiders. The Raiders always ran a 4-3 with man coverage. I can remember when they changed, my first thought was Al must really trust this coach. When they changed back my next thought was Al must have seen he got a 4-3 personal and decided he wanted his defense back
As a Raiders fan from the 80s. This is disappointing to hear, this is why our coaching staff was Bottom of the barrel and someone like Sean Payton wouldn’t join the silver n black
Well you know if al Davis maybe would've stayed with the times of offense and defense changing schemes maybe it wouldn't be so much of a deal. Jerry says money fixes problems, all the money he spends makes up with talent
I recall Sapp complaining about Rob Ryans 3-4 while he was a player. I also know players used to go to Al all the time to voice their concerns & he would listen so I'm believing this.
What a savage moment for Sapp!! He's also the one who called The Rock a bum lol. Sapp wore Farve like a cheap suit. One the best DL of all time. Him and Reggie White are my two favorite of all time.
Al never played football. He was a basketball player, but only coached football. Lots of great sports coaches never play their sport (Scotty Bowman, Bill Belicheck, Jeff Van Gundy, etc)
I was and am a 49ers fan. Remember very clearly Sapp (and Moss) going to the Raiders and they screwed that up so quickly it was laughable. Got to see them both play a couple times and they were good in Oakland but Al was in charge then before he passed.
I’m a pretty mediocre sports fan I’m not super hardcore into all the players and talkshows. I knew who Warren Sapp was but damn I did not know he is that entertaining!
Any person that work from someone would love to be able to step in the office or a spot where you and the owner can speak 🗣. And because they see the potential in you they list to you and think 🤔 about what your speaking from the heart ❤️ and try it out is wonderful. I love that the Big AD wooow 👏🏾👏🏾
He’s mixing up 3 completely different years. Chris Clemons wasn’t a Raider until 2007 and only for that year. The 2 win season was 2006 and his 3 sack game against Tennessee was 2005.
I remember being a young kid 12-13 yrs old and me an my pops front row black hole during warm ups at a pre season game i was wearin my sapp jersey that i still got to this day an im yellin at em with my pops . "Tear em up sapp tear em up Lets get it" an he looks over at us an says "woo baby dont get me fired up now dont get me fired up now its just pre season baby" lol i loved that guy
I completely forgot how good the Raider d line actually was. If only we had a QB in those days. We would have been good. Anytime we had a below average to average QB (Jeff Garcia, Jason Campbell) we were competitive. Imagine having an actual QB.
Al was the MAN.!!! Because of Al I love the Raiders for 50 Years we went to games in Denver. Miami. K.C. LA.Rams, San Diego Chargers And. Battel of the Bay Raiders & 49 ers But Mark mess it up for me by letting McDaniels Tank games. Where's Committed to Excellence?
Al was an intimidating guy. Once encountered him. Was just him and me in this private gym at Marina City Club. He said "get away kid, u bother me" a la W.C Fields.
They hadn’t played Denver yet the year that they played Tennessee and he had three sacks…. They played Buffalo…. Makes ya wonder how true the story is when he can’t even remember what team they were playing…
You gotta be Warren Sapp or an equivalent to pull the owner card. HOF players can go to the owner, but average every day players better know their role.
Jerry Jones is no Al Davis. Al knew football, matter of fact Jerry is a wannabe of Al Davis.
Facts just win baby
Al always respected the opinions of the players, if Sapp went to Jerry Jones to change the D-line like that i doubt it would've lead to the same outcome.
@@MrZomBie775 exactly!
I hate to say it but Jerry was pretty good when he played if I'm not mistaken
@@MrZomBie775 tell that to Marcus Allen.
“That’s all Monte kiffin was doing all these years”
Never understood Robs 3-4 when he had the 4-3 monster front with Burgess Sapp and Kelly
Al was basically a D coordinator throughout his ownership of the Raiders. The Raiders always ran a 4-3 with man coverage. I can remember when they changed, my first thought was Al must really trust this coach. When they changed back my next thought was Al must have seen he got a 4-3 personal and decided he wanted his defense back
“What did you bring me here to do??” ULTIMATE THUG MODE, SAPP 😭🤣
“Is that you big homie?” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Owners don’t want waste money. Or shouldn’t. And should listen to HGIH FOOTBALL IQ made men. Be they QB or DT.
@@newagain9964 and he did. Old man definitely appreciated the straight forward approach
Warren was a pass rushing monster in his day. Love listening to him.
Definitely a top 10 DL all time.
Dying a slow death in that 3-4 😂😂 pretty much most DL will say that unless you’re JJ Watt and can line up anywhere you want lol.
As a Raiders fan from the 80s. This is disappointing to hear, this is why our coaching staff was Bottom of the barrel and someone like Sean Payton wouldn’t join the silver n black
No dought ownership should allow coach to have control over the schemes and game plans. But did Al make the right call here?
That’s why art shell had a 2nd run as coach. It was more of a favor because we couldn’t fill the position.
Well you know if al Davis maybe would've stayed with the times of offense and defense changing schemes maybe it wouldn't be so much of a deal. Jerry says money fixes problems, all the money he spends makes up with talent
@lrcraider You still sad about Sean Payton not joining the Raiders? 😂
"we had the number 3 defense and 2 wins"
Andrew Walter at QB!
I wished we had a #3 defense today, imagine if we had the offense that we had in 2016 and a #3 defense? Christ all mighty 🤦
@@AdamWest1290 don’t even have to go back that far, 2020 was a great offense too
I could listen to Warren Sapp tell stories all day long!
I recall Sapp complaining about Rob Ryans 3-4 while he was a player. I also know players used to go to Al all the time to voice their concerns & he would listen so I'm believing this.
Sapp is a verbal gem ..love that guy ..great player ..and individual ..
The full interview was posted (40-odd minutes) yesterday - definitely worth a listen.
"I'll fix it" Al was the Godfather forreal
He's not lying, in 2006 the texans had -5 passing yards against oakland and won by two scores
I like listening to Sapp talk football.
What a savage moment for Sapp!! He's also the one who called The Rock a bum lol. Sapp wore Farve like a cheap suit. One the best DL of all time. Him and Reggie White are my two favorite of all time.
Yes. Agreed. Along with Bob Lilly, Jethro Pugh and Allan Page.
Dude you forgot Taylor
@@MidwestRaiderTho I don't include coke heads and convicted felons / child molesters in that group. Maybe you do, I don't.
I can't get enough of listening to Warren Sapp talk.
Imagine if Sapp didn't have a owner calling plays at 80 years old for him we could have won a couple superbowls with a talent like that.
Our offense was downright pathetic unfortunately though. Lmao Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter🤣😂🤣😂😬
You really have a bad memory
We hasn't close at all
We were garbage those post sb years.
Talented defense crappy offense bad coaching and managing by the senile al
Sapp have the best reactions during interviews. He's just as intense as his playing days during interviews.
AL played, coached, and owned. He knew football.
Al never played football. He was a basketball player, but only coached football. Lots of great sports coaches never play their sport (Scotty Bowman, Bill Belicheck, Jeff Van Gundy, etc)
@@cesarcanete3402 I forgot it was basketball 🏀 I knew he played something. Appreciate the education for real.
Belichik played college football @@cesarcanete3402
Sapp was the best 3 technique the Raiders have had in 30 years. Seymour as well.
I was and am a 49ers fan. Remember very clearly Sapp (and Moss) going to the Raiders and they screwed that up so quickly it was laughable. Got to see them both play a couple times and they were good in Oakland but Al was in charge then before he passed.
Derrick Burgess was a beast coming off the edge
Agreed
Thanks for watching all the way to the end? Are you kidding? I could watch this all day long. More Warren Sapp, please.
I’m a pretty mediocre sports fan I’m not super hardcore into all the players and talkshows. I knew who Warren Sapp was but damn I did not know he is that entertaining!
Wait did he say the Raiders had the number 3 defense and two wins. As a lifelong reader fan that is the most raider thing I've ever heard 😂
Yeah, their defense was playing lights out but the offense sucked bad. They went 2-14 that season . 2006.
Worst record in franchise history. Still beat the Steelers that year though lol
@@plotskosisii312 had 2 pick 6's against Big Ben in the Coliseum. The defense was unstoppable that day.
Andrew Walter was one of the worst QBs I’ve seen, even worse than Jamarcus lol
Dude it was so hard to watch as a hardcore fan to see such a good D be wasted by the bed and breakfast offense
Lmmfao 🤣😂😅 Warren Sapp hold my beer I'll be back I'm going to fix this 🤣😂👍🏾
Warren kills an interview!
At some point the Bucs have to start looking for a starting QB, Brady has to be definitive. Who knows how this will play out.
That’s a great story

Always loved Sapp. I love his stories & how he tells them 💯💪🏾
I saw Larry Allen from Dallas put him in another zip code all game long. Larry owned him
Larry put everybody in another zip code ..his warm up bench press was 500lbs then he started to get serious
@@michaelrobertson1332 not Reggie but to be truthful he was a rookie at the time
Thank you for all the memories Warren - a fellow kid from the dirt.
How can you not love Mr Al Davis. Greatest owner and Raider ever , ever
Shows how smart people like Al Davis get ahead, you should almost always LISTEN to people who know what they are talking about.
AL is a legend
Great story teller!
HAHA that was a Gem to hear OG go straight to Mr. Davis and instant changes occurred. Go RAIDERS 🏴☠️
Sapp pass rushing 👑 🔥
Dope shirt 👚 too bro !
ReelHead! Just ordered one !!
Number three defense and two WINS.......geesh
He’s mixing up 3 completely different years. Chris Clemons wasn’t a Raider until 2007 and only for that year. The 2 win season was 2006 and his 3 sack game against Tennessee was 2005.
What year did they have the number 3 defense and what year did he go to Al? If those are not the same year then I say story is a lie lol
@@YoogiNation 06 they had the #3 defense shockingly lol 07 sounds like what he was describing as the year he went to Al
3-4 defense does suck! It's complicated to make it effectively.
Love Sapp and his hoodie from reelhead
I remember being a young kid 12-13 yrs old and me an my pops front row black hole during warm ups at a pre season game i was wearin my sapp jersey that i still got to this day an im yellin at em with my pops .

His al Davis impression is so good 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
THE TOWN!! He’s not from their but that’s where he played, and I appreciate what he said about the big AD. The real AD Just Win Baby!!!!!
We know Sapp didn't have lot's of good times with our beloved Raiders but we know he had a good time.
These are the kinda players need to draft and or sign in free agency..Dogs who the love the game and care about the team
i like Sapp's shirt
Al was the MAN.!!!
Because of Al I love the Raiders for 50 Years we went to games in Denver. Miami. K.C. LA.Rams, San Diego Chargers
And. Battel of the Bay Raiders & 49 ers
But Mark mess it up
for me by letting McDaniels
Tank games. Where's
Committed to Excellence?
Love Warren. Give us more Rich
The best player in the NFL….
According to himself! The most self congratulatory man in NFL history its true he will tell you himself.
Al was an intimidating guy. Once encountered him. Was just him and me in this private gym at Marina City Club. He said "get away kid, u bother me" a la W.C Fields.
Sapp had a bunch of coaches who weren’t diverse or inclusive. No one listens to players
Pride and ego
#3 Defense and 2 wins is fuqn INSAAANNEEE. Dark ages as a raider fan lmaaoo
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 legendary
Great story.
Aaron Donald is SO great… That Warren Sapp is the SECOND greatest Pass Rushing DT ever.
What’s with the thumbnail smh rip Al Davis
One of top 10 maybe lest but a dam beast
That 06 Raiders Defense was the best I've seen too bad they had the worst offensive line and QB and a disgruntled Randy Moss that same year
Derrick burgess was a beast
They hadn’t played Denver yet the year that they played Tennessee and he had three sacks…. They played Buffalo…. Makes ya wonder how true the story is when he can’t even remember what team they were playing…
Number 3 defense? I must have missed that year
Rest well Mr. DAVIS
RAIDER NATION 4 LIFE
Sapp was a beast..
Warren needs to be a coach
How bad was the raiders offense to have 3rd def in league but only win two games
Sapp didn't have hair back then lol and rip al Davis
What a fucking legend lol
Wow #3 defensive with only 2 wins, I remember that ! Damn shame
You gotta be Warren Sapp or an equivalent to pull the owner card. HOF players can go to the owner, but average every day players better know their role.
WATTS LOVE Mr sapp Nickerson Gardens
Sapp was a monster
A pound of doodoo underneath his nose 😂😂😂😂
I love Big SAPP the love train
Packers shoulda chop blocked this PoS into retirement after the Clifton cheap shot.
Those were some great teams. (insert eye roll). Worst Raiders era.
😃😃😃😃👍🏽
99 Problems!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅🏈👍🏽
I guess offense wings championships lol
🤣🤣🤣
Explains why the Raiders also went 2-14 😂 maybe warren could have changed the offense too
I don’t believe a thing that comes out of his mouth. He was a Raider hater after he left. FTP
Hush
Slappa
Can’t take a grown men in pink seriously!
Lol
Hahahahahahaha 🤣
Al Davis 3 The new regime zero
Warren fooling himself. All preferred 4-3 and that's why he changed it
Were you there? Let s see. A HOF player or some loser in the comments..I wonder who's right about this
What a mistake he was coming to the Raiders he was lazy by then Waste of money
Sap is so unlikeable
One of the worse signings, thanks Al
That’s why y’all didn’t win in Oakland….. too much ego
Yeah tell the story after hes passed Never was a fan of sap
