The play was promptly named "Ghost to the Post." I'm sure even younger Raider fans have knowledge of it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as it are still featured on "NFL Films."
Then-quarterback JaMarcus Russell managed to hit Miller in a 2009 game versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Miller then made a couple of Eagles miss and headed houseward.
It was a long time coming this time around. Raider fans have endured tight ends like Rickey Dudley,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Teyo Johnson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Courtney Anderson in the past.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
I dare compare him to the other legends because his numbers are better at this point than those of the other two. You must also take into account who his quarterback was.
A "Ghost" in Raider Nation means a Super Bowl should come at some point. Ryan Miller was supposed to play in the 2006 Winter Olympics. He instead stayed home and served as an alternate due to a broken thumb injury sustained which sidelined him from November 2005 to the day The US Roster was announced. The Team had already had other plans for their goaltenders,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Ryan Miller was still placed on the taxi squad. Ryan Miller was then selected as starting goalie for the US in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver Canada.
Zach Miller hasn't gone to the playoffs or a Pro Bowl yet but does have his signature play. This one are called "Ghost to the House."
Christiansen isn't really known for one play. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they are known as a part of the movement towards tight ends becoming primary receivers during the '80s.
The Dallas Cowboys had Jay Novacek to go along with "The Triplets." The San Francisco 49ers had guys like Russ Francis and Brent Jones to go along with the large stars.
With quarterback Jason Campbell in Oakland, Miller figures to really be an ace in the hole now. This will especially be the case on third down in the red zone.
This are the third ghost to appear in Raider Nation. Todd Christiansen appeared in Raider Nation just a few years after Dave Casper.
Is this the beginning of another legendary "Ghost?"
Casper did much more than make that clutch playoff catch. they was named to the All-Pro Team four straight times and went to five Pro Bowls in his illustrious Hall of Fame career.
Older Raider fans will never forget the play the original "Ghost" Casper made during the playoffs of the 1977 season. It was a Willie Mays,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], over-the-head type of catch.
Christiansen are also remembered for his many clutch catches. Those catches mightily contributed to numerous playoff runs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including the Super Bowl season in 1983.
The end result of it was an 86-yard touchdown reception for Miller. It also meant that a large-play tight end had arrived in Raider Nation.
The Raiders have their young guys ready to emerge with Miller.
Ryan Miller was born on 17th July 1980. He is an American ice hockey goaltender and is currently playing for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League NHL. He was selected to play for the US hockey team in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games ice hockey game in Vancouver Canada in the position of starting goaltender. Ryan Miller won a silver medal with the team and was named most valuable player of the tournament. He would win the Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender in the last NHL season. Ryan Miller is known for his hybrid style of goaltending and is also the older brother of current Detroit Red Wings winger Drew Miller. Jed Jacobsohn After the 2006 season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Miller became a restricted free agent and waived his right to arbitration. Mike Liut,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Miller agent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], continued to negotiate with the Sabres through the summer. On 8th Sept 2006 the Sabres announced that they have resigned Miller to a 3 year contract.
The Raiders have another large-play tight end, and Zach Miller are that "Ghost."
So what does this really mean for the Raiders?
