Schweigert: of his release
5/24/2008

As the Oakland Raiders released Stuart Schweigert, he has been talking about it. According to Schweigert, ''It was definitely something I was waiting for, something I've been expecting for two months,'' Schweigert said. ''Everybody knew it was coming, but I still had to go to the mandatory camps. It was terrible, sitting through the meetings and working on the defense they were putting in and all the time knowing I wasn't going to be a part of it. I wasn't into it mentally, emotionally or physically.''

Moreover, Stuart Schweigert was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the third round; 67th overall. During his rookie year, he put up 52 tackles (43 solo, nine assisted) and three pass deflections. The following year, he improved to 87 tackles (70 solo, 17 assisted), seven pass deflections and two interceptions (against the Dolphins and the Chiefs)
Schweigert improved by putting up 107 tackles; 86 solo, 21 assisted and four pass deflections by 2006. By 2007, Schweigert was injured and only recorded 69 tackles (56 solo, 13 assisted), four pass deflections and two interceptions. He has received much criticism from the Raider Nation during the last couple years. Has he deserved much of the blame for some of the Raiders losses? He was compared to Rod Woodson by many when he was drafted. “I would make a bunch of tackles, but the highlight on (ESPN) SportsCenter would be the one that I missed because that was the one that went for a touchdown. The Raiders are the only team in the NFL that uses the cover-0 defense, which puts eight men in the box and man coverage on the receivers. Some teams will use the cover-0 as a gimmick defense on rare occasions, maybe to blitz. But nobody uses it as their standard defense like the Raiders do.''

According to Schweigert, as the runner gets to him, eight guys have already missed him. The highlight, though, would only show him. The disappointing thing is that he was held up to criticism and nobody defended me after everything he’d done for the Oakland Raiders. “I didn't miss any camps.” Is the Raider defensive philosophy the real problem? Stu sure seems to think so. The Raiders rely on the DB's to cover man-to-man more than any other team. This has been the ‘Raider way’ as long as I can remember. Is is an outdated way of thinking like Stu is entailing? It requires great cover DB's. The truth is, Stu has never lived up to the Big Hitting, Intercepting Freak; the Raiders hoped for when he was drafted. Time will tell if the Raiders were wrong in their release of the much criticized player. And now, it is up to Michael Huff to prove his first-round worth. Will he end up being the next Schweigert? His expectations are certainly much higher than Stu's ever were. Let’s find out what will happen next and be updated on the Oakland Raiders.
