Also, Las Vegas made sure to reach out to center Andre James to Brian Winters Jersey make sure he knew that was indeed the plan, which was a great gesture by the team.Shortly after being drafted Rondale Moore Jersey , Powers-Johnson put out a video thanking Raider nation, and in it he cited a line from the poem "The Autumn Wind", written by late NFL Films President and co-founder Steve Sabol about the 1974 Oakland Raiders.' ' . Las Vegas Raiders (@Raiders) The full poem is as follows, *"The Autumn Wind is a pirate.Blustering in from sea,With a rollicking song, he Josh Jones Jersey sweeps along,Swaggering boisterously.His face is weather beaten.He wears a hooded sash,With a silver hat about his head,And a bristling black mustache.*He growls as he storms the country,A villain Patrick Peterson Jersey big and bold.And the trees all shake and quiver and quake,As he robs them of their gold.The Autumn Wind is a Raider,Pillaging just for fun.He'll knock you 'round and upside down,And laugh when he's conquered and won."
