Jim Otto Quotations

He took 'characters' and handled them and made players out of them. He was on top of the offense and the defense. He could talk to the defensive coach while setting up the offense during a game. He was always involved in every aspect, including special teams. I've not seen intensity like it was when he was there since in the organization.

Everyone wants to beat us. So you can never take a single game lightly.

I've been a Raider all my life.

I think Ray Guy and John Madden for sure should be in the Hall of Fame and Cliff Branch should be as well.

I work here at the Raiders. My position is basically what I make it.

I think the tougher the challenge the better.

I liked to play against all the teams in the National Football League or the American Football League, because they were always a challenge.

I have seen the Raiders develop into what they are today.

I also played in the 1967 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.

Everyday I walked on to the field I was the best center.
