Given the fire and passion former Oakland Raiders great Phil Villapiano still has for this team, head coach Jon Gruden might want to consider giving the 69-year-old some pads, a helmet, and get him into a game at some point in the very near future.
After all, given a recent interview with a Las Vegas radio station, it certainly seems like Villapiano can still lay a mean hit – and let’s face it the Raiders can use some serious help with their linebackers group.
The target of Villapiano’s bone rattling hit this time, wasn’t a back coming out of the backfield, or a receiver coming across the middle.
