Hall breaks through
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 at 6:50 pm in Oakland Raiders.
At 5:32 p.m. Wednesday, cornerback DeAngelo Hall stepped in front of a JaMarcus Russell pass intended for Johnnie Lee Higgins and ran the other way with an interception.
Not earthshaking news, but a rarity in that it was the first time I’d seen a defender step make a play on the ball and make a clean interception without help from a deflection off the hands of an intended receiver during all the allotted media availability time through rookie minicamp, two organized team activities and three practices at the mandatory minicamp.
Thirteen minutes later, it happened again. This time it was Andrew Walter throwing into double coverage, withThomas Howard stealing the pass. He considered a lateral to Michael Huff, thought better of it, and kept the ball.
More quick hits from the evening session:
– Al Davis made his first appearance on the field at the minicamp.
– Visitors included former Raiders defensive tackle Chester McGlockton, who had a very brief exchange with Davis. McGlockton is working as an assistant coach with Hayward’s Chabot College and was accompanied by a few other members of the Chabot staff.
– JaMarcus Russell made jaw-dropping throw on a broken play, rolling to his right and flicking a pass that traveled 60 yards in the air to Drew Carter, who got behind Michael Huff for a big gain.
– Neither Fred Wakefield (knee) nor Javon Walker participated in the second practice. Neither did fullback Oren O’Neal, who sustained a knee injury in the morning session. That meant a busy practice for the only other fullback on the roster, veteran Justin Griffith.
Arman Shields (hamstring) missed his third straight practice, watching Todd Watkins and Chaz Schilens get plenty of work and have some positive moments.
– Practice ended with coach Lane Kiffin calling for a two-minute drill, putting 2:28 on the clock, giving the offense two timeouts and the ball at the 31-yard line.
The first team defense responded with Gerard Warren dropping Russell for a 10-yard “sack” on first down. On second down, Russell found Johnnie Lee Higgins for 9 yards to the 30.
Blitz fans will be pleased to note cornerback Stanford Routt got to Russell for a five-yard loss on third down, with Zach Miller failing to hold a short pass far short of the first down marker on fourth-and-long, with Russell under pressure by Kalimba Edwards.
The second team offense fared somewhat better against the second team defense. Andrew Walter hit Griffith against a blitz for a 12-yard gain on first down, with Will Buchanon dropping a Walter pass on second down.
That prompted a rebuke from offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, who barked, “That’s three drops today! Let’s go!”
The offense moved past midfield on another pass from Walter to Griffith. Walter had an an opportunity for a deep strike to Drisam James for a score, but Hiram Eugene made up enough ground to deflect a slightly underthrown pass.
An offsides penalty by Jay Richardson and a completion from Walter to Schilens got Sebastian Janikowski in range for a 46-yard field goal attempt. Janikowski missed slightly to the left, then converted when he got another chance, ending practice.
– Defensive tackle Terdell Sands, who has been playing both at the nose and three-technique and been working behind Josh Shaw, drew the eye of at least one sideline observer for playing with fire and emotion.
– Darren McFadden was one of several players working at fielding balls from a JUGS machine to simulate kickoffs.
– Wide receiver James Lofton throws his own passes during drills and was instructing his charges to “see the ball, feel the sidelines,” and was making one perfect pass after another on out patterns.
– The Raiders complete the minicamp with one practice today starting at 12:30 p.m.

GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 4th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
I love this kind of detail. This is what blogs were made for, baby — stuff for the diehards.
June 4th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Sebastian Janokowski is the most accurate kicker in the league, he can hit that upright anytime he wants to.
June 4th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Like what im hearing, but hope we dont see this type of 2 min offense when the season starts
June 4th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
go raiders
June 4th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
i would pay to watch
June 4th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Thanka for the write up Jerry. hope russell can’t start to get in beat in the next sesions over the coming months leading to pre season.. getting more and more excited. can’t wait til august 8.
by the way, who was the person that Sands drew the attention of?
June 4th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
The entry that got my attention was the broken-play big-gainer. We’re going to have a ton of broken plays, and JaMarcus’s ability to improvise will be a key to his success. I like thinking his natural instincts will kick-in when he’s under pressure — today that’s what apparently happened. JaMarcus can be great!
June 4th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Lane Kiffin is trying to wring all the gunslinger out of him.
June 4th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
I’m need some advice…I’m going from san diego to universal studios on Saturday to get autographs from morisson, howard, and wilson. I’m bringing a kirk jersey to get it signed, any advice of what else to bring?
GO RAIDERS!!
F*ck phillip cry me a rivers and the rest of the san diego homos
June 4th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
hello true raider fans!I read this blog all the time read everyones comments this is my 1st time chimeing in.I love the vigor you true Raider fans have.I live in Denver grew up a Raider fan it’s been rough on us the last few years but our time is here!We have all the pieces in place to take the next step from the head coach down to the waterboy!
June 4th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
great update, love it!
RAIDER FAQHIN NATION BABY!
June 4th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Wow, Brian Baldinger blew up McFadden on the NFL network.
June 4th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Jerry you still suck!!!
Hall will get his ints as well as people scoring TDs on him becuz Nmandi is gonna scare hte hell out of them. I look for 5 ints minimum from him. Come on Terdell we need you this year baby!!!
June 4th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Terdell Sands “playing with fire and emotion”…??? Okay, *now* I’m excited!
If he can carry that fire and emotion into his game through 16 games, this defense may not miss Warren Sapp.

i just found out that i have an official nfl football that is addressed to me and signed by DMac waiting for me when i go visit my brother in dallas. hes got a buddy that works for donruss, the card company, and he went to l.a. to take pics of the rookie for upcoming cards of him. my bro told him how huge of a raider fan i was and he came back down with that for me, what a guy. i’ll post a pic as soon as i get it, but im hoping my bro can take a pic of it with his phone so i can post it.
June 4th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
James Lofton was a great hire. All this speculation about Lofton being hired to replace Kiffin and hardly anyone borught up the possibility that Lofton is actually a good WR coach.
June 4th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
gforce what was said
June 4th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
whats up KoolKell I dont think Kiffs trying to take the gunslinger out of JRuss rite now its all about the little things he knows he has a great arm this is him geting JRuss looking and reconizing the differnt defences and playing within the offence trust me he will turn him loose on Sept 8th as we start the great wining tradition were known for 10-6 at the worst!
June 4th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
im really faqhin excited now………. i feel happy in pants,lol
June 4th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
jt money glad to have you as a participater rather then an onlooker. i grew up in pueblo but my parents got it right raising me a raider. anytime u feel it get in there and mix it up dont feel intimadated just stick to your guns and dont waffle and you will be alright
June 4th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Forget Baldweiner we all know Dmc is the truth Kiff alresdy brags on how smart he is and how there giving him more and more plays cuz he’s so smart Baldweiner will eat those words in a few months.Raiders all day!
June 4th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Thanks Seatown I will take that to heart im here to stay!
June 4th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
The BOSS man shows up and what do you know? So does the prized Defense.
I’m not sure if I should be concerned about this offensive line or not. By Jerry’s write-ups our tackles seem to be having a good bit of trouble out there. But at the same time its nothing but a write-up that functions as a highlight reel. It could be that for the most part the tackles were holding up just fine. We won’t know till Pre gets here; then we still won’t “really” know.
JLH …good to hear he is looking good out there even if its on again/off again …WRs take time. He may still turn out to be a damn good WR. Javon? …Com’on Javon…(patience is req’d here)
Russell’s gonna have plenty trouble when Nnamdi gets in practice (thats for sure). And what’s the deal with Nnamdi? Is he in shape? Is he practicing hard on his own? Damn I hope so. If not, he could fall victim to trying to catch up too late and stymie this whole project. <–That I worry about! But hey, some players need practice and some don’t. Everyone is different.
June 4th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
terrapin dont worry about Nnamdi he will be fine even if he is outta shape and i say even if he will be just fine cause you dont have a milk carton playin on the side we are going to be fine dont worry. and i like the point u bring up about J-Rock throwin against the best tandem in the league in practice thats going to make him only better IMHO. If the o-line just gives a little time most of the time we are going to be hard to handle thats for sure. and if the d-line can stuff the run 10-6 is totally attainable easy with the schedule we have
June 4th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
It sounds like Burgess is playing for a new contract and thats good news. So is Sands playing with a fire in his belly. Sounds like the defense is ahead of the offense but , its early .
June 4th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Sabers you are hilarious……..misss sapp when has he ever played in oakland…….that guy sucked here plain and simple
June 4th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
burgess is playing because he read my posts on different sites about how much he aint worth a damn unless he learns to stop the run
June 4th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
kwame harris sucks……..we are in trouble atthe tackle spots……we are gonna sign shane olivea….jerry why not talk about that? oh yeah cuz you suck!!!
June 4th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
JLH has been dogged by ignorant raider fans last season after only getting 6 catchs but he caught everything thrown his way………kiffin admitted they didnt put him in a position to succeed
June 4th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Evidently it’s a eyeopener when Turdell Sands plays with fire & emotion.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Im pretty pleased aout both sides of the ball(a bit of concern where the LT is concerned, but we sorta have to trust Cable after last year.) Anyway, this is sorta messing with my head, when I read that Richardson blows in for a sack I don’t know weather to be mad at Harris, or happy for Jay Rich. When Hall picks off J-Rock, should I be pleased with Hall or mad at Russell? Do you see my dilema? Help me out here nation. =)
June 4th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
jerry – dude… you gotta hire someone to proof read these pieces… they’re fantastic, but right out of the gates they’re a mess. i’m up to the task if you’re looking.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
IS THE OAKLAND BACKFIELD RUSSELL/MC FADDEN / BUSH THE BEST IN FOOTBALL IN 2 YEARS ?
June 4th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
who wants some?
June 4th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Do any of you know if Fred Wakefield is a TE like he is listed at the offical site or if he is DE like I had read in an artical.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
c4- be mad richardson is a run stopping DE he aint a pass rusher…….Harris sucks………wish henderson would develop at LT because shane olivea is more than likely coming to oakland
June 4th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
They are giving Wakefield a try at DE because of his size. Versatility baby!
June 4th, 2008 at 8:28 pm

Lil Jacob called, he was obviously smoking a blunt. I have a hard time understanding that Jamaican bumbaclot! He needs some help with a job down in Broker…

Kool Kell, post #4:
Good observation…you’re absolutely right. In fact, he’s so good at it, he always makes sure it’s the outside portion of the upright, this way it bounces away for “zero-points.” After all, Seabass wouldn’t want it bouncing inward…that would be (3) points. A no-no.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Davis nodded his approval.
“We’re doing all right,” Davis said. “We’re throwing the ball all right.”
thats all I need to hear.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Employee #8 Thanks for the info I read that he has had time at DE. Hope he can work out he do’s have the size 6′7″ 295Lb.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Backup middle linebacker Ed Hartwell came up for two “stops” in a three-play sequence during the first of two team drills.
Kiffin didn’t sound so impressed.
“We signed Ed to a minimum contract to give him a chance,” Kiffin said when asked about his physical presence. “We haven’t set expectations, we’re giving him a chance to make the team. He hasn’t played in awhile so we’ll let him take it as far as he can take it.”
Once a young star with the Ravens, Hartwell was out of the league last year after trying to return from multiple injuries.
for people who wanna know about Hartwell.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Steve Smith is relieved that the Falcons no longer have D Hall. D Hall is a serious shutdown corner…

“Employee #8 Thanks for the info I read that he has had time at DE. Hope he can work out he do’s have the size 6′7″ 295Lb.”
Kind of makes me worry about the DE’s that they already have.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
i need the rest of the rookie class to make a distinct move from the rest of the field………i have high hopes for the rooks cuz some ofthe vets need to be shipped out
June 4th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Employee #8 Good point but could push them to do better. We have to get the one that is opposite Burgess. Even if take a TE turned DE.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Jay, Burgess, Edwards, Scott. we dont need anyone else!!! Warren is playing great, sands and Shaw are playing good, and Tk is getting stronger. Out front 4 will take care of business.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
I AM WITH YOU BRIEN,YOUNG LEGGS-NEW ATTITUDE. HOPE JLH AND OTHER’S CAN HELP WITH THIS.

“Employee #8 Good point but could push them to do better. We have to get the one that is opposite Burgess. Even if take a TE turned DE.”
That DE the Raiders drafted from Buffalo was a TE for his 1st 2 years in college then he converted to DE the last 2 years of college. The Raiders love their “projects”
June 4th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Barring an injury to Jason Rishardson, I doubt Wakefield will be around much longer.
We’re not going carry more than four DEs on the 53 man roster and Burgess, RIchardson, Edwards, and Spires seem to be better bets to make the cut. I think Trevor Scott’s best hope is making it on the practice squad.
It’s still early, though.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
C4, post 33:
We all feel you pain and joy at the same time. It’s the nature of the beast. But, until they have the pads on and they’re going full steam, it means nothing. Harris missing a block may only be the result of Cable telling him to lighten up on any contact…they don’t need injuries while playing in shorts and sweaters. Maybe when they have the pads on, Harris will “knock-his-dick-string-off.” GO RAIDERS.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Employee #8 Great I love to see the versatility of are players.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
kevn We had four TE last year a 6′7″ TE would be good but if they moved him to DE you may be right and he will not be around much longer.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
The Raiders should dump Janikowski now,…hes a total bust,…if he was a 5th round pick he would have been cut years ago….they cant admit hes a bust….even though its obvious….he sucks…get rid of him asap.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
AD was there and gave his approval. he liked the passing game, and the man knows a lot about passing.
I love it.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
In AD I trust.
June 4th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
get rid of seabass and pick up who?
June 4th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
great post.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
LONG LIVE AL!
June 4th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
AD knows more about football than any other person. AD has done it again, this team will take us to the promise land again AKA SB. this year 8-8 or 9-7 next year playoffs and after that SB.
JUST WIN BABY.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
80 years old and he is still going to the team’s minicamp. The man loves his Raiders, he loves the game of football. The man is great.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Anyone,..Janikowski sucks,…he will cost us games this year,..as usual….get Vanerjact.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Homeless Bill, post #59:
You might get some feedback from someone on that statement. It’s happened to me before. Someone will throw some stats, that he’s one of the top 5 or 6 kickers. Maybe so…stats wise, but when it comes to a pressure situation, a game winning situation, you can bet your ass that he’ll miss.
Raider fans who have been around since he was drafted number one (1), all knew that he was going to miss that second kick against the donkeys last year, and that Shanarat was going to walk away from that game a happy camper.
However, although we knew he would miss, and although he pissed us all off…it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. If he makes that second kick, we end up 5-11 and the cooks end up with Darren MaFadden. So, that’s the only kick I’ll forgive him for. But, YES, HE SUCKS UNDER PRESSURE.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Ya …. lets get the DRUNK kicker, so we lose one DRUNK for another DRUNK.
I LOVE IT.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
sounds like camp went pretty good, i agree that seabass needs to go, i also think, hey i wll be right back i need to go take a huge crap. be right back.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
you know homeless there is a reason why he is not playing in the NFL, think about it.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Riverside, I am at every game,…when he lines up for a 30 yarder we all assume he will miss.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
South Texas Raider, post 62:
Thanks for being a Raider fan from south Texas, that’s great and I’m sure you could turn us on to the best “tex-mex” music and the best “tex-mex” food and some beautiful southern Texas women.
Question: Get who? Any kicker who can make a kick inside the 40 yard line. We don’t need a kicker who has “potential” to set the NFL distance record. Seabass will “shank it left” or “shank it right” and miss when the game is on the line. He has lost at least ten games for us, probably more over the years, and he was a #1 pick.
Seabass and Jake grove both need to go among others.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Ok,..fine,..then not him,…but I still think hes better then Janikowski.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Well Janikowski certainly needs to get cut,.but he certainly wont be,…hes another Davis guy,…Kiffin likely doesnt like the guy but is stuck with him. I promise you he will cost the Raiders 2 games this year…minimum.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
HE IS UNEMPLOYED, if he is better than anyone else he would have a JOB in the Nfl.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Jano, is….., all he has to do is kick, he has the leg, but he can only kick from one side of the field.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
He is better then alot,..but hes a jerk,..thats why hes unemployed,…hes way better then Janikowski,…not even close.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
GROSS. why share??
June 4th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Janikowski will make a 55 yarder when it doesnt mean much,…he will miss a 35 yard game winner. No doubt about that.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Jerks have JOBS in the NFL, look at T.O and others, and drunk kickers with 80% comp are UNEMPLOYED.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Homeless Bill, post 75:
Last year I would have felt the same, and the year before and the year before that. However, I really feel that with our running game, and the power of Bush in the “red-Zone” and Zack and MaFadden and JR and just our new offense, that Kiffen will know better and we’ll be scoring a lot more. We’ll be resorting to field goals, less and less. Maybe we’ll get lucky and use Seabass just for extra-points after our many many TD’s.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
I’m not sayig he is a great kicker, but he is better than DRUNKENjac.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
sure can riverside raider and anytime yall are ready.
just let me say this…..
why are we worried about a kicker when we have this new highbrid offense coming into play. the only thing we need to worry about is seabass making extra points. as long as he can do that im fine with him.
i hope he has the least fg attempts this year due to the offense scoring the points.
seabass wont be a factor gameday when you here
TOUUUUUUUUCHDOWWWWWNNN RRRRRRRRRRRRAIDERRRRRRRRSSS!
can i get an amen brothers
June 4th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
AMEN.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
u typed it before i did riverside, good thinking there brother
June 4th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
In 03 and 04 Jano had over 88% comp. the last 2 years not so good under 80%.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Homeless Bill:
A few months ago I was ragging on Seabass. I was joking about: “That we needed someone at the end of each endzone waving a Volka Bottle everytime Seabass lined up for a field goal.” I actually got a comment back that Seabass was a good “tackler,” besides being a good kicker. I hope the poster was just joking back to me and not serious?
My response was maybe we could put Seabass at MLB.
On the serious side, in all fairness, he’s probably a decent kicker. Fair overall. However, under pressure and when the game is on the line, he really “freaking” SUCKS.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
For the record,..back in 2000, I got the # 11 jersey,…really wanted him to be great,..but Iv have had it with him,…get rid of him,…hes a bust as a 4th rounder,..but as a 1st rounder?…maybe one of the worst 1st round picks in history….and if you dont think we will need him to make a pressure kick to win a couple games this year youre wrong,..he will miss them for sure.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Jano has 107 TB thats why he is still with the raiders, and he is not that bad, well ya he is but we can do worse like DRUNKENJAC.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
We found a kicker,..for cheap bucks,..Nedney,…what did he do?…he kicked the Chiefs OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS!!!…at Arrowhead!!!!…how did we reward him?,..we got rid of him and drafted Seabass!!!….holy cow that is insane!!!!….Nedney would have been just fine, even still to this day,..cheaper!!!!….oh by the way, 2 picks after Seabass in 2000 was Shaun Alexander,…great scouting in Oakland huh?
June 4th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Drunkenjac has been to multiple pro bowls,…seabass will never sniff one.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
why think about the past……….
the raider nation future is so bright, we gotta wear shades.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Homeless, you remember the Seatle game when the kick came like a yard short at the end of the game and we lost. Next year we drafted Jano the guy with the strong leg.
Drunkenjac cant kick under pressure thats why the colts cut him, and the fact that he i a DRUNK.
and he cant kick over 40 yards.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
again, I dont like Jano, but we can do a lot worse, like DRUNKENJAC.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
You seem obsessed about a drunk,..I promise you seabass can drink vanderjact under the table…how many times has vanderjact got busted for being drunk in public?…never,…seabass is way more of a drunk,..get your facts strait you moron Raider O.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Deangelo Hall is the best. period. He and Nnamdi has the N.F.L. SCARED to death!! The RAIDERS will win the super bowl!! They have to many weapons.
June 4th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
a kicker who went to the pro bowl, who cares he is a kicker on a good team that has a lot of people watching, dont mean a damn thing. pro bowl kicker HA.

Oh well, lets see what tomorrow brings on our one and only workout before the break and then training camp.

#45 Raider O-
Regarding Al Davis nodding his approval and saying “we are doing all right” while viewing practice….Did he scowl and say “we really suck” at practices the past five years? If not, I wouldn’t put too much stock in his opinions.
June 4th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
FINE! Jerry nice update. I’m worried about our line. I’m also worried about our WR and QB chemistry you would think the touch and awareness would be more developed I would really like to read your insight on the progression that u see on all levels of the field. I hope the team is improving and overall they look like a better product not just look like it on paper.
June 4th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Al has opinions negative and positive

did you get my post about Irons?
June 5th, 2008 at 12:56 am
Came on the site to see any late postings, before calling it a nite. Nothing in the last hour, so everyone has basically called it a nite.
For those of you coming on later in the am….good morning to you. Have a good day and I hope our last mini-day-workout is productive and without injury.
It looks good, as if things are falling into place. Nothing will be for sure until pre-season where we’ll get an idea of where we’re headed. We have all suffered these last five years, so there is just no more wait in us. It has to be this year. I believe we have an excellent coack in Kiffen, that he’s years ahead and it’s probably because his father teached him so much. Monte Kiffen has done an excellent job, so the background is there.
Our offense is filled with potential and JR has been surrounded with some offensive talent. We can’t argue against Al Davis’s lack of spending, as he has mortgaged the farm in free agency signing, in addition to paying some returning players.
Most of us are excited and we can’t wait until 9/8/08 when we wip the much hated donkeys and the Shanarat.
Good nite….Go Raiders.
June 5th, 2008 at 12:57 am
I’m interested to see how the receiving corps shakes out behind Carter, Curry and Walker. For what it’s worth, probably not much, Schilens looked incredible on his Youtube highlight reel. Sounds like he’s holding his own in practice.
Hopefully the o-line gets its act together before the season. I’m surprised we haven’t done more to bolster that unit in the off-season. You can’t have teams teeing off on your franchise QB all day long.
I read the other day that Shane Olivea has agreed to terms with a team, but the deal won’t be official until that unnamed team clears some cap space. Could it be the Raiders? Possibly.
June 5th, 2008 at 2:12 am
First… Topanga Canyon burned down? man what a bummer, well I don’t know how it looked there before, I only knew the place from a song, by john Phillips
Secondly… BHP, yeah I agree with your last post regarding Beach Boys, its real californian music, so was John Phillips… its not like its the only thing I hear, but when I’m in retro-mode, its pretty nice, it makes me happy, let me say it like this, when i hear Rammstein or Pantera i’m in another mood =)
Third… FIRE JANIKOWSKI, i’m sure he’ll cost us pretty important wins, or at least hire Morten Andersen or some vet that never miss the kicks inside 40…
Fourth… regarding the location of the raiders, I hope they’ll stay in Oaktown, because when I someday will go to a game I would like it to be near some place with other tourist attractions, like the entire bay area, I have a friend in wine-country, so I hope they will stay in the bay-area…
Fifth… Fire janikowski, I loved Lechler, but hat Seabass…
June 5th, 2008 at 2:48 am
Fifth…. once again for prince knud… Fire Janikowski, I love Lechler, I but hate Seabass….
thats more like it =)
June 5th, 2008 at 6:38 am
Man what a beautiful post Jerry! I think im gonna cry from the thought of raider nation returning to glory! Great to hear D. Hall shuttin it down out there and jrock throwing 60 yd bombs we finally got news on edwards but wut about william joseph? Keep it going guys!!!!!!!
June 5th, 2008 at 6:49 am
LMN, I’m sure you knew Charles Manson pursued a music career hangin’ out with (stalking)the Beach Boys. When that music came out when I was a kid I liked the Ventures & Jan & Dean, now I’m mostly into Pink Floyd on a constant basis. As for Jano, I lobbied for Jason Elam because I saw him so much here in Denver. He was very accurate but couldn’t knock it in the endzone for s#!t. The altitude & thin air was responsible for a lot of his long kicks but he could out kick Seabass 3 to 1 any day. Some on this blog defended Seabass but for the same money we could have had him.
June 5th, 2008 at 6:54 am
Jerry,
Russell’s throws blah blah blah defense tough blah blah… the real issue is whether kiff was wearing Raider socks!
Is Kiffin’s apparel only news when he DOESN’T wear Raider gear?
June 5th, 2008 at 7:22 am
And a flag pin, Bo, & yeah, what about his preacher? He wear black with his silver?
June 5th, 2008 at 7:29 am

June 5th, 2008 at 7:30 am
Manson who was living in Topanga Canyon was friends of Neil Young and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. Members of Manson’s “family” began their campaign of murder on July 31, 1969 with the murder of Topanga resident Gary Hinman, a music teacher who had opened his home to anyone needing shelter.

June 5th, 2008 at 8:12 am
You guys crack me up.
Warren is playing great! Really? He has had 1 ONE UNO play of note in three practices with no pads. All of the times Jerry wrote about Bush or Fargas going through holes in the middle just who do you think the absentee DT was? Warren is good for 1-2 plays every 2-3 games. Always has been. I wouldn’t buy his pro bowl jersey just yet.
Walter beating the blitz in the 2 minute drill doesn’t make him BETTER than JR but it shows what JR has to learn. As a rookie QB he can expect to be blitzed often. He’ll have to learn his reads and get comfortable.
I hope Ryan has the K-balls to blitz in regular season games in the 2 minute drill. Could just see Kiffin saying to Ryan, “I know YOU’D never blitz but I want my offense to get a taste of what real NFL defenses do so can you throw some in?”
Not too concerned with the O-line. There is minimal contact allowed so when you watch pass rushers in practice they always look like they’re flying in. Once the o-line can start hitting and cut blocking we’ll see. Remember last year about this time Jerry was writing the same thing and they looked fine in game action.
Great write-up Jerry. Thanks.

Walker making a strong first impression
NEW RAIDERS RECEIVER AN EARLY HIT IN MINI-CAMP
By Steve Corkran
Bay Area News Group
Article Launched: 06/05/2008 01:37:42 AM PDT
The early reviews are glowing for Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker only a few months after the Denver Broncos released him.
“Javon is so explosive,” Raiders Coach Lane Kiffin said Wednesday, the second day of mini-camp. “We think that he’s going to be the best he’s been in years, as far as health-wise. I know he’s excited about this upcoming season and (the opportunity) to prove a lot of people wrong.”
Walker is working with Raiders starters opposite Drew Carter. A little more than three months ago, he was unemployed and saddled with the label as an injury-prone player past his prime.
It didn’t help matters that Broncos Coach Mike Shanahan said that Walker’s right knee probably would require microfracture surgery within the next two to four years.
The Raiders threw caution to the wind and a boatload of money to Walker. He signed a six-year contract that guarantees him $12 million this season and $16 million overall.
The Raiders hope Walker can regain the form that led to his catching 89 passes for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Green Bay Packers in 2004. Last season, his second with Denver, he had only 26 receptions for 287 yards and no touchdowns.
Walker, 29, has had three operations on his right knee. The last of those was performed early last season to repair an injury he sustained during an exhibition.
Before the surgery, Walker was one of the league’s most productive receivers. He posted back-to-back 100-yard receiving games and had 17 receptions in Denver’s first two games.
Walker said his injury had nothing to do with his startling drop in production.
“I just wasn’t used the way that I thought I was supposed to be used,” he said. “My ability is still the same.”
Cornerback Stanford Routt is seeing the same Walker who once made life difficult on Raiders defensive backs.
“He looks fine to me,” Routt said. “He still has that good foot quickness. He’s real fast off the line of scrimmage from what I’ve seen so far. Who knows? Maybe his knee isn’t 100 percent. Who really cares? The only thing that matters is when September comes. From the looks of things, he’s going to be fine.”
Kiffin said Walker’s weight is a bit high, but he doesn’t see that as unusual in the off-season.
“We think he’s in a good place right now,” Kiffin said. “He’s going to continue to get faster as his weight goes down.”
When that happens, Walker said, look out.
“It’s going to be a deadly combination between all of us as wideouts when we get on the same page,” Walker said
June 5th, 2008 at 8:20 am
“Fire Janokowski and bring in a vet who never misses inside the 40.”
Incredible logic considering his kicks were from 46 yards. FORTY-SIX in MORE than 40. That means the little crocodile eats the “46″ and not the “40″. Yes, Morten Andersen from 46 yards out on grass is really automatic.
Where’s the genius who thinks Walter should start over Russell because of one practice 2 minute drill? No? Why not? Same thing. One practice does not a season make.
June 5th, 2008 at 8:32 am
I agree Kevn. Lofton was a great hire and he will do wonders for JLH. McFadden returning kicks? Thats really exciting.
June 5th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Seabass is inconsistant to say the least, but who is out there we can bring in to compete? Vanderdrunk? Might be more accurate, but a complete jackass and doesn’t kickoff well. Love everything I’ve heard out of mini camp except for the fact that Asomugha is still missing. When are they gonna officially dump Jordan? Nobody is gonna trade for LaFat. Any word on how many tackles Lil Stui has missed at Foreskins camp? Can’t wait to see DMac and Michael Bush.
June 5th, 2008 at 8:58 am
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAKERS!
June 5th, 2008 at 9:01 am

KG will victimize Pau Gasol and make him look oafish and slow. Kobe will meltdown after his back relegates him to a very non-mvp type of player.
Go Green
June 5th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Kobe will be the only one to be league MVP, playoffs MVP, championship winner and gold medal winner all in the same year.

If you can’t stand the heat get the eff out of the kitchen son. Go cry to your mommy, she should be home by now. She left here about 15 minutes ago. She is walking kind of funny.
Now go slang some oranges on the freeway. It’s your family business, you should be proud.
June 5th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Hey Killa–I am not even a Laker or Kobe fan. I am just a fan of dead presidents. Lakers over Beantown is easy money. Anyone know if DMac still has the red CrownVic with the 22’s? No way he’s bring that thing around here.

KG, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce have combined for 0 trips to the NBA final and 0 championships. Kobe knows how to win and how to make clutch shots. Anyone not puttin their money on Kobe either has too much money or is very confused. Take my advice please. Put everything you got on the Lakers.
June 5th, 2008 at 9:31 am
Hey if lofton throws such great passes maybe he should be the back up QB LMAO! He can still coach THe WR’s and dubel as a vetern QB menotor For J. Russell. Watch ya all think? LOL Yeah true bad idea.
60 yard comletion in the Air? Cool see he can throw the deep ball it just a matter of knowing when to take that deep shot and getting the timing down with the WR.
Sounds like so far he is working best with Carter Might have to move him up to Starter and let Curry and Walker decide which one of them will be number 3 and in the slot.
But time will tell on that. If Carter puts up decent number this year though they need to make it a offseason priorty next year to sign him to a contract extention.
But yes until they proove they can do it when the games count in the standings we cant get to excited or disapointed either way.
June 5th, 2008 at 9:32 am

Kobe dosn’t need Shaq. Jerry Buss knew he was going to break down physically and did not want to give him the long term deal. He didn’t do the things needed like Kareem to prolong his career.

I’m out for now so you Laker babies can start posting again.
Good chatting with you Raider4life. Good luck bro.
Now all you Laker fans can talk mad mess about me now that I will be gone. It’s the LA way.
BTW Kobe’s back is already bothering him. He is receiving treatment as I type this. The bad news is no matter how much massage and physical therapy he gets will not help. An injured back takes time.
It will not only cause the Lakers to lose in the Finals but it will cause him to bow out of the Olympics. People will say he isn’t going to the Olympics because he is a baby and can’t take it that the Lakers lost in the finals.
Either way his back is jacked and it is going to be a problem FOR SURE!

Seabass has definitely not lived up to the hype, but I think that he is a descent kicker. I think we have to cut him some slack considering that he is one of the only kickers kicking all of an dirt infield most games. Look at his games where he is in a dome on turf its like night and day. You would think the McAfee guys could put some frickin grass down. Its just ridiculous. I know Seabass is one player that will not be mad to see the A’s leave.

—”Dolphins VP of football operations Bill Parcells confirmed that Jay Feely will have to compete to start this summer.
Parcells brought in Dave Rayner, who’s never been good, to battle Feely in training camp. Feely was the Dolphins’ best offensive player throughout last season, connecting on 21 of his 23 field goal tries. It’ll be a big upset if Rayner beats him out and could potentially cost the Dolphins a win or two. Jun. 5 – 12:09 p.m. ET”—

I hope this means our Defense is really really good and not that our Offense is really really bad.
June 5th, 2008 at 11:21 am
I hope that every one of the sixteen teams we play underestimate us. I hope that we are underdogs all season because of the past 5 seasons. I hope that we get no respect. I hope that in the beginning of the season that they predict another 4 win season for us. Reason being, because this team is soooo close! Everything is in place! We have the potential to make a dramatic turn around and I think that we will shock the NFL this year and for many more to come. Points will come, yardage will come, yds after the catch will come, 3rd down conversions will come, ints will come, sacks will come, 3 & outs will come, defensive TDs will come, kick and punt return yardage and scores will come, and last minute heroics will come. I think that we are poised to be a remarkably dominate team. THE ONLY OBSTICLE TO OUR DOMINANCE IS THE PLAY OF THE OTs and DTs…4 positions! If we get solid play in these 4 positions, we will be unstopable!

“Barring injury, the Lakers are a lock to win the title, because…”
Love the built in excuse. You Laker fans are weak as hell. Just in case they actually lose you have a nice excuse already on tap. WEAK!
Kobe’s back is balky and he has been receiving treatment twice a day for weeks now. It’s a lot worse than many of you Laker fans realize. It’s all good though cuz you have a nice built in excuse…

June 5th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
DK99, I realize you are on the Keltic bandwagon and you root for any team playing the Lakers, but do you have a favorite NBA team of your own?
Pick one and be a man.
June 5th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
I am a man that is not defined by the basketball team that I like. You may consider that notion and maybe review what it means to be a man.
I hate the Celtics, just not as much as the Lakers. If I had my way the Flint Tropics would be in the NBA and all would be well in the world…
June 5th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Props to Andrews Mom for giving props. No one ever does that anymore. People are too busy patting themselves on the back or tearing others down that don’t agree with them.
June 5th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Flint? Hmmm.
I was not implying that your manhood is defined by the team you like, but manhood is shown when you can both GIVE and TAKE some abuse. Which requires you name a team of your own to defend.
I gather you would rather provoke Lakers fans than be willing to stand up for YOUR team, MR.

June 5th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
MR I am not. If you were ever paying attention you would realize that I am a Jazz fan that has taken plenty of abuse from you and many others. I guess in all of your “manliness” you forgot talking sh*t to me about “my team”. Now be a man and admit that you are a complete tool.
I do like to piss off Laker fans regardless of the team that I like. I have never met a Laker fan with any class or regard for anyone but themselves. You appear to be the same as every other Laker fan that I have ever met. Always talking sh*t but can’t take it when others put it back in your face.

June 5th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
DK99, you turn almost every discussion into a “you’re gay” contest with a lot of jizz talk…why?
It doesn’t reveal a very good side of your personality, if you know what I mean.
June 5th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I sure don’t give a sh*t what you think. It’s not like you have garnered any of my respect by any means. You have shown your true colors on more than one occasion. It’s not hard to discern the kind of person you really are.
I liked the Jazz when they were from New Orleans son. You were just a sparkle in your daddys eye. One thing I am not is upset that the Jazz didn’t beat the Lakers. I am not defined by wins and losses of a team that doesn’t even know that I exist.
Get a clue young man.

Jerry Mac…Nice report, you have really stepped your game up, keep up the good work.
Just a few questions though.
Did Al speak w/ any coaches or players, or just observe?
Who said that Turd was playing with “Fire and emotion”?
Did Kiff give Seabass a mulligan on that first kick that missed in the 2min. drill??
How are the Special Team units looking. Kick returns vs. Coverage?
Thanks.
June 5th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Dakota is the only Laker fan that I have ever met with intelligence. He may be in denial about a few things but at least he is smart and knows what he is talking about. Dakota is obviously the exception to the rule when it comes to the typical Laker fan. Probably because he doesn’t live any where near LA.

I haven’t read anything on special teams, except that my boy Seabass is in mid-season form. And missing FG attempts in the 2min. drill.
Would like to hear what, the Coverage vs. Return teams are up to. And if anyone is standing out.

the only diff between Darius and ED IMO is age ED is still in his prime he is only 30 and has not played in 2 years, if he can sty healthy he can make the roster unless Brown is doing something I dont know about.

I think we are missing a player on defense with a nasty attitude, someone who wants to crack you, not just go for picks, a LB or a D linemanwho is nasty.
June 5th, 2008 at 1:04 pm

The Raiders haven’t had that kind of presense on D since Roid Romo left. He was nasty with a capital N.
June 5th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
That player could be G Wilson.

Romo that dude was one crazy MF. socked on of his teammates in the eye. as for G wilson I think he will bring in some attitude but he is still a Safety he has to cover most of the time and he only 6′ 210, we need a LB with attitude to cmplement Morrison and Mr. 53.

“it seems to me that our LB love to drop back and get picks more than doing the dirty work, I think they take more pride in picks than hits, what do you think DK?”
I think that the Raiders have one of the fastest LB Corps in the NFL. Their speed equates more to picks than to big hits. They need an enforcer to knock the snot out of people coming over the middle. KoolKell may be right, Gibril Wilson may be the very guy to do such things.
408 -
Good point, the Wiz was the man! Now that dude was NASTY! Talk about playing til the whistle blows, he had fools on the ground and was still blocking them until the whistle. Intense as all hell too. Totally mellow and super religious off the field, but on it he was a madman.

I imagine The Wiz was that guy that everybody hated, unless he was on your team. Kind of like Romo. I despised that man until he donned the Silver and Black. Then I opened my eyes to his tenacity and importance to a defense. I always knew he was good but I never gave him a chance until he was a Raider.

I think this secondary will be the best in the NFL, reminds me of the ol days, Huff can use his speed to cover more ground and he can hurt WR, Wilson playing close to the line and cracking people going up the middle, and ASO and hall shutting down WRs.

wilson is not enough…
we need a MLB…

#99….. HAHAHA, man I’am still laughing trying to type . I remember that odor, from a family vacation to Oregon when I was a little whipper.
Yes that papermill odor, is right there with San Pedro on hard boiled egg day. lol
June 5th, 2008 at 1:49 pm

Eureka was nasty for many years.

I’m out
be prepared for mad sh*t talking if the Lakers lose tonight, and not just from me.
Thanks for the Raiders talk guys, I appreciate it.
Peace

Ex -
Sorry for breaking your balls earlier. Nothing personal. I’m actually not such an a$$hole, just don’t get me started on the Lakers and I am ok. My therapist recommends this highly.
In that pic its hard to tell if its the same guy, but it would make sense for him to host such a show, being an ex baller from USC.
Now I’m out…

I agree we need a LB, or a lot better play from the front 4.
June 5th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
GOOOOOO LAKERS!
This is worse than waiting for the draft.
June 5th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Having a linebacker who can pick off 6 or 7 passes is nothing to sneeze at.

June 5th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
KK,
dont get me wrong. I’m not saying our LBs are bad, but having a nasty LB that plays the 2 downs, and is a coplete run stopper would be a great addition to a team with sme problems in the front 4, or you can improve the play of your front 4 and then the addition of 1 more LB will not seem so important.

from the Feb 18, 2008 Daily Breeze
San Pedro’s best-known Greek restaurant has been targeted by Marie Callender’s, and the Community Redevelopment Agency and the local councilwoman sound excited. “If it works out, this would be a great addition to downtown San Pedro,” said Janice Hahn. “Marie Callender’s really attracts families and it’s open morning, noon and evening, so that’s something I think would give a boost to the downtown.” Owner John Papadakis says he has no deal to sell or close down, but the local buzz is that he wants out. Papadakis Taverna opened in 1973.

408…. Jerry has 13mins. or I’am going to look bad here..
June 5th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Lakers in Six. At least by missing the playoffs, The Warriors saved us the embarassment of watching them get swept by L.A.
June 5th, 2008 at 3:11 pm

June 5th, 2008 at 3:12 pm

June 5th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
dude Warriors ran out of gas @ the end of the season….. f bball anyway
June 5th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
408…. Thanx, Jerry has been on time so far, within 60mins. of end of practice. Thus my prediction.
June 5th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
K-Rock,
I lived in West L.A. near a Cuban Restaurant with great Fried Bananas and Black Beans
June 5th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
c’mon Jerry, I need my daily fix.
June 5th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
It was called the Versailles on Venice Bl near Overland. By Sony Studios (formally MGM)
June 5th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
If the Wings are too hot, the Hummus and pita are a great contrast.
Enough about food.
Go Lakers!!!!!!!
Good Night Raider Nation!
Come on Jerry!
June 5th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
I was expecting a bunch of NFL cuts after June 1st, but there have been very few. Is that how it’s been in years past also?
June 5th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Our whole season will rest on Kelly, Sands, Warren and Joseph. If two of them can find away to halt the run then we could easily make the playoffs. Honestly though i dont think any of them will find away and can see us managing to win 6/7 games. Still and improvement.

I imagine The Wiz was that guy that everybody hated, unless he was on your team. Kind of like Romo. I despised that man until he donned the Silver and Black. Then I opened my eyes to his tenacity and importance to a defense. I always knew he was good but I never gave him a chance until he was a Raider.
Steve Wisniewski was an Offensive Gaurd for the Raiders who played 12 NFL seasons and was named to the Pro Bowl 7 times. …

Phreakin Who Hoo good reporting Jerry.
June 5th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Our “D” will hold up but will our offence that’s the BIG question. Im skeptacle on Walker’s knee & age & still not sold on Russell, sure he can launch it & has a hi IQ but will our “O” line give him the time he need’s. Than there is McFadden a “franchise killer” or a “franchise player”…we’ll soon see
Dont get me wrong i bleed the black & silver more so than anybody but im tryin’ to be realistic.
What i can say is Zach Miller….he will be HUGE, i love his size & hand’s, your gonna see alot of passes to Miller. Drew Carter was a good pick up, had good stat’s last year & i feel is on the rise.
As raider fans we all live on the “glory day’s” b/c thats all we had…it’s time to re.build the franchise every team feared…been a long time since “Automn Wind’s” has been played dont ya think?
but hey you never know…
here’s hoping
