Read a few of the Raiders fan boards....The consensus is that Sands doesn't work hard, lazy and soft at the point of attack. However he did punch their punter, Shane Lechler in the face on flight home from Denver last November...Says he hated Lane Kiffin. Claims that he wants to be good but the organization is "a bad, bad place to be"...
Here is a quote from their "Mike Reiss" in the Contra Costa Times from the fall of 2008..
"– The resurrection of Terdell Sands to be the kind of inside force he was as a part-time player in 2006 is still far from complete. Sands conceded he went into an understandable funk last year after the death of his mother and let his weight get out of control.
He is lighter this year _ how much, no one will say _ but he has already had a knee drained and is missing practices. It’s tough to get into shape that way. Sands will probably continue to back up Gerard Warren, who through most of his career has been either impressive or invisible _ sometimes from one week to the next."
