Lamarr Houston: Mel Kiper Eats Dogshit For Breakfast
Raidergirls Fearless Rookie of the Year Predicition For 2010…
Lamarr Houston, Defensive End Oakland Raiders
Intensity from whistle-to-whistle, scrappy (led the OTA’s in camp fights), and a ”gargle my nutsack” worthy shout out to Mel Kiper, who insisted the Raiders must take pet project Jimmy “what teammates?” Clausen… Kiper has tucked tail recently and waffled with this paragraphed port of safety after ripping the Raiders 2010 draft…
The “new and improved” Kiper on Lamarr Houston: “Lamarr Houston: I’m honestly starting to think I really underrated this guy. I look at the measurables and in terms of combine tests, he’s better almost across the board than Gerald McCoy. But that’s just the athleticism. In terms of tackles for loss he also topped McCoy, playing a similar schedule in the Big 12. He has plenty of size at 6-3, 305 pounds to be a solid part of the Oakland 4-3. If this guy becomes a big impact player early in his career I’ll no longer be surprised. As I look back at what he did, it’s another reason to think I may have undersold what Oakland did in the draft. Houston could be a steal.”
What could be better for Raiders fans than this possible holy trifecta… 1) a godsend defensive end with intensity 2) proving Kipers hair knows more about talent than the douchebag sporting it 3) watching Al Davis smile each time Houston slugs the ambivalence out of Langston Walkers massive gut.
Guys like “little Saban” Rolando McClain are special because they have the ability to make those around them better. Should Lamarr Houston do what Richard Seymour could not in 2009, namely restoring a Howie Long type intensity to a once ferocious Raiders front four… the 2010 NFL Draft will be remembered as the day Kiper feasted on corn flakes of crap. Pass the coffee and doughnuts Raiders fans.

Lamarr Houston is rapidly becoming my sleeper defensive rookie of the year pick as well.
The measurables are amazing, but the intensity and drive of this former choir boy and 260 pound High School running Back (what was the name on that truck?)is the real deal. I’m not a Texass football fan per se, too many first round duds, but if this guy Houston brings it on Sundays come September, I’ll personally make it a point to learn “hook ‘em horns.”
I googled “Kyper eats dogshit for breakfast” and your site came up, how is that possible? Shooter Mcgavin has some words for you Raidergirls, whomever you are.

That is the funniest blog post title i have ever read!
Houston has slowed a touch, but his motor and effort are carrying him through. He got robbed of a touchdown last week on a great hustle play.
He’s definitely tougher than Lamarr of Revenge of the Nerds fame, and probably chucks the javelin a mile too.

I googled “Lamarr Houston Raiders” and found this hilarious tribute to Mel Kiper and his ripping of the Raiders 2010 draft class, including the Texas monster DE.
His measurables were better than Mccoys, and he made more BIG plays at texas than Mccoy did, all the while very capably playing both DE & DT.
That Houston has led the Raiders in fights is not surprising at all, a gentle person off the field, Lamarr is plain ol’ nasty between the hashes. Houston challenges offensive lineman as if they stole his lunch pail while kicking his momma.
The Oakland Raiders did indeed steal Lamarr Houston in the 2010 draft, by simply watching tape of the young man hustling and making plays all over Texas Memorial Stadium. Great job Raiders scouting department!!!Thank you for not overanalyzing a great prospect. A guy who makes plays like Lamarr Houston did in college, and has his work ethic, was sure to succeed with Mike Waufle as a coach.
There is a little “Justin Tuck” in Houston, while being even bigger & stronger, and I like that fellow Raiders fans!
Love the way the Raiders front four gets after it, and Lamarr Houston is a non stop train wreaking QB havoc. Under Richard Semour’s leadership and tutleage, Houston has a shot to be the most improved Raider in 2010.
That’s after a stellar rookie campaign with flashes of dominance, where Lamarr Houston played the run with passion and pop, and also got in his share of hurries and chases. Improved technique and a sixteen game NFL regular season behind him, Lamarr Houston is a beast!
