Raiders have Broncos on the run
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 at 7:17 pm in Oakland Raiders.
In the days leading up to the first day of training camp, I’ll review the state of the rest of the AFC West and how they match up with the Raiders, as well as all Raiders position groups heading into the first practice on July 24. Today’s entry takes a look at the Denver Broncos.
If there is one thing Mike Shanahan enjoys more than beating Al Davis and reminding him of the bonus money he insists he is owed, it is the way his Denver teams have been physically superior through their ability to run the ball.
That changed in 2007, and when Davis was tallying up the plusses and minuses of Lane Kiffin’s first season, one of the biggest things in his favor was the way his teams played against Shanahan and the Broncos.
They came within a Sebastian Janikowski field goal hitting an upright of sweeping Denver for the first time since 2002, falling 23-20 in overtime in Week 2 and manhandling the Broncos 34-20 in Week 13.
You wonder if Davis’ favorite moment of the entire season wasn’t the sight of watching Shanahan sit on the ball on Denver’s final possession, essentially saying “uncle” as Justin Fargas ran for 146 yards, the Raiders gained 175 and ran up a 10-minute advantage in time of possession.
The Raiders beating the Broncos on the ground is real man bites dog stuff, as Shanahan’s 20-6 record against Oakland since 1995 has been in great measure due to Denver’s rushing superiority.
Oakland outrushed Denver 2,086 to 1,957 last season _ only the third time in Shanahan’s 13 years the Raiders gained more yards than the Broncos on the ground.
What’s more, it was accomplished with an offense in large measure stolen from the Broncos _ zone blocking, lots of bootlegs and and getting effective yardage from different running backs.
Whether the Raiders can continue beating the Broncos at their own game will be determined quickly _ Denver is at Oakland in a late Monday night game at the Coliseum in Week 1.
Broncos review
Denver was 7-9 in the AFC West, 1-1 against the Raiders. Ranked 9th in rushing, 11th in total offense, 19th in total defense, 30th in rushing defense.
What’s new
Running back Travis Henry, a rare Denver foray into free agency for a running back, was dumped after being a no-show in the offseason program and faces a suspension under the NFL substance abuse policy.
The Broncos will run by committee with Selvin Young and free agent acquisition Michael Pittman. Fourth-round draft pick Ryan Torian of Arizona State has the classic look of a one-cut, zone-blocking runner.
Linebacker Boss Bailey, brother of cornerback Champ Bailey, joins the defense, along with San Diego castoff Marlon McCree at safety. Niko Koutovides, a free agent from Seattle, will also play a large role.
What’s to like
Quarterback Jay Cutler’s mysterious weight loss last season was solved. He has Type 1 diabetes and must constantly monitor his blood sugar. The word is Cutler not only looks healthy, but is throwing the ball extremely well and appears confident and secure, perhaps relieved he knows what he is dealing with.
Not content to go the usual route with castoffs, the Broncos used a first-round pick on tackle Ryan Clady, who was a zone-blocking terror at Boise State and a perfect fit for the system.
What’s not
There was a lot of snickering when the Broncos cut Javon Walker rather than pay him a $5 millon roster bonus, only to have the Raiders sink some $16 million into him during free agency. It no doubt got louder when Walker ended up getting rolled in Las Vegas.
But the Broncos best not laugh too loud. The wideout expected to make the big plays, Brandon Marshall, sliced tendons in an offseason accident. He says he slipped on a McDonald’s bag and fell through a television set.
Considering Denver’s offseason acquisitions at wide receiver were Keary Colbert and DarrellJackson, joining Brandon Stokely, the Broncos have issues outside.
Those creaking sounds are coming from Denver’s center position. They went younger at center, signing 13-year veteran Casey Wiegmann from the Chiefs and relegating 15-year vet Tom Nalen to backup status.
Tears of joy were wept in Oakland when perennial Raider-killer Jason Elam escaped to Atlanta as a free agent. The place kickers going to camp are Matt Prater and Garrett Hartley.
There were no huge moves by the Broncos in the offseason defensively despite giving up 409 points, more than even the Raiders (398).

It’s the dawn of a new age in the NATION!!!
GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!
July 16th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
The Broncos are going to Dominate the Raiders like they always do. Dream on Nation. Don’t bother responding.
July 16th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
HEY JERRY,
WHY DON’T YOU CHECK THE BLOKE ABOVE (MR)TO SEE HOW MANY NAMES HE HIJACKS HERE. IF YOU GIVE A SHEIT.
July 16th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Jerry,
Ck your blog sometimes, the a-hole MR is on here all day everyday hijacking the names of your regular posters, surely you’ve heard.
You tell your advertisers how many posts you have. Do you also tell them most of them are fraudulent and come from this guy.
July 16th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Great Blog Jerry, always good stuff.
Hopefully, we can sweep the Broncos and Chiefs this year.
July 16th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
what’s up NATION!The writeing is on the wall we will make the playoffs.It’s time to change our thinking on how we perceive this team!It’s a new day WAKE UP NATION

July 16th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
good observations jerry. Brandon Marshall was also arrested in the offseason for domestic violence, and he is scheduled to be arraigned for his dui case from last fall the 1st day of training camp. Cutler ripped him publicly after his cousin through him into a tv, and said it is always something with this guy. I expect goodell to hand down a minimum of a 4 game suspension for marhsall being an a hole. that will leave the offense with no play makers. the bronco defense will be soft again against the run. on top of that they will be weak at line backer. boss bailey is built for the cover 2, and he was not wanted in detroit buy MARINELLI. their d will be bad again. they will be lucky to get to 7 wins this season
July 16th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
i think sweeping the broncos and cheifs is more than possible, but it will be tough week 2 coming off of a monday night and going to kc. that will be a bigger advantadge than usual for the cheifs. the raiders will have to shut down the run to win that game.
July 16th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
I beleive this is shanahans last year in denver. he used his last life line firing his “gm”. after they fail to make the playoffs again, it will be shanahan that gets the boot.
Did anyone catch that pft story about shanahans lawyer representing the drug dealer that allegedly killed darrent williams. i bet Pat bowlen got a little heated about that
July 16th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
11!
July 16th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
I just think that the Raiders have the ability to surprise this year. It may take Russell until midseason to hit stride. But that runing game and the defense i feel we have a chance to really catch some teams early and get some cheap wins. That will biuld the confidence we need to carry us through midseason and defense start t lad up against the run, but by then Russell should have his game going.
It wont be long now guy’s. I’m very excited to see if this young group can grow up quickly.
July 16th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Jerry, Great read! now your starting to sound a little optomistic. I know I am!
July 16th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
BHP, your ignorance astounds me. There are NO CHEAP WINS in the NFL. YOU need to grow up. Don’t bother responding.
July 16th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Ignorance? BHP is one of the only people in the blog that acts like a man and not a 2 year old
Don’t bother responding!
dumb zhit!
July 16th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
I hate the Broncos.
Night all.
July 16th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Chilly, what part of “Don’t bother responding.” do you not understand? There is no such thing as a cheap win in the NFL. It is a fact. If you disagree with this statement, consider yourself ignorant. Don’t bother responding.
July 16th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
And exactly what part do you not understand?
July 16th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
I didn’t question your “statement” about easy wins I questioned your allegations that someone is ignorant based on his simple opinion. This is a blog, If you can’t handle others opinions get out!
July 16th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
God, the BS never ends on this site….
July 16th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Dakota,
I know we are not supposed to give this guy attention but damn! He is in here 24 /7 I check in late hopeful he is not in here and then Bam instant BS, Im just sick of it!
July 16th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Don’t bother responding.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
We are losing the troll wars.
Jerry, your job is on the line…put a stop to the madness.
I feel your pain chile.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
any way I think that is the biggest slap in the face to the rat. use his own system to beat him with. We have our Elway(J Russ) we got our new TD (Run DMC) and now WE have the most talented secondary in the league!
Oh yeah its gonna be sweet!
July 16th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Just don’t react or respond to it. It gives it life.
And I do mean “IT”
July 16th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Jerry,
Please hire someone to edit this blog and weed out the mental midgets! They are ruining what used to be an enjoyable Raider blog.
THANKS
GO Raiders!
July 16th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
The Broncos are terrible. But I have a hard time seeing the Raiders finishing higher than 3rd place.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
at least Walker’s “Vegas Incident” took place in the offseason. Imagine if it was the weekend of the denver game. ouch that would have been disastrous…
He has time to heal his body, but his wounds are deeper than that. Hopefully it helped to open his eyes to refocus on life, get some professional help, and find some peace. I want to see him address his problems and become a leader on this team.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
BHP: Post 12 say’s it all!
Can’t wait for camp to open and this season to start. Let these young playmakers we got, make some plays!
Ignore the trolls, especially if their hijacking others names.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
It stands to reason Oak Ridge, they haven’t in 5 years and until they do, a prediction on anything better seems like wishful thinking.
But this team is talented enough to win the division, but are they confident enough to do so?
SD has some holes, if you can stay balanced enough to force them to play you honest. We pushed them to the edge in the final game but gave them 14 easy points to decide the game.
If we can get a few t/o’s against them and make them count, and force them to play from behind for once. We can beat them, no doubt in my mind.
Every time we play SD the last 3 years we’re fighting an uphill battle because we simply could not score. Which allowed then to keep the ball on then ground. That will not be the case while Russell is the QB for this team and that’s why, early on if we can get up on some teams and force them to throw into our secondary, will make tham pay based on the fact that they will be overconfident.
If we go into th second half of the season with a winning record teams will load up against the run forcing Russell to beat them,….. and he will.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
#27 Why???
San Diego jettisoned a bunch of good players including McCree and Olivea and who did they replace them with?? They’re hoping their 3rd team scrubs are up to par with their starters. Well, they better be. they sure didn’t have any draft choices worth noting.
Shanarat bet his life that dudes with “character” issues will come thru for him. When was the last time anyone with “character” issues came thru for anyone??? I think it was the thief with Jesus on the cross.
And now there’s Kansas Shi**y. Who in their right mind would bet the farm on Brodie Croyle???? Carl Peterson must be high. At least they had a good draft. They got Glenn Dorsey. Of course they had to give up jared Allen tho.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
i believe the organization has it’s sights set on next year, which is why, also, they won’t forsake the right to tag nnamdi again… Rookie qb and line issues will hold us back. Unless we really do have an adrian peterson sition coming on. We don’t need to sweep anybody this year. However if our only two wins were against the donks I would’nt mind.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
The Raiders will blow Denver out come September 8th. Mark it down……record it do whatever but Denver will not be winning in Oakland and will be hard pressed to win 6 games this year. They got more issues than we do. This game is a confidence booster and yeah to all the doubting punks out there(you know who you are) I’m guaran-damn-teeing and big win in Oakland.
July 16th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
In other words our defense has played from behind fr last 5 years. Give them the confidencethat if they make a mistake that the offense can score, then they began to play a lot looser, take more chances to make plays. One hand must wash the other for both to get clean. All of a sudden the offense knows that if they turn it over the defense will get it back. Their confidence grows and they’re more aggressive.
We haven’t had that since 2002, that defense was nobetter than this one talent wise. They just knew that they could go out and get after the other team. Because one freakin mistake wouldn’t decide the game like last year
July 16th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Brien…. Well said, donkeys are, “going down and going down hard.”
July 16th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Obviously I’m a big Nnamdi guy but when players get “tagged” it’s not a good sign. The best we can hope for is this is a good year. If we can string some wins together maybe Nnamdi will stick around to see this thing get turned around
July 16th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Blackholepriest….
GOOD, things are going to happen. IMO, that AL/KIFF, have a good plan of attack. It is up to the players, to carry out the plan…
JUST
WIN
(now)
BABY!!!
July 16th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
What’s to Like…? Why should I like that Cutler is healthy and throwing the ball well. Why shouldn’t I like that Marshall is in bad shape? Sometimes it’s obvious to tell that you’re an NFL writer and not a Raider fan (not that you’d ever say you were). Try a little harder to edit your upcoming postings on the division rivals so they don’t look like a template you made for the entire AFC West and just inserted a paragraph to the beginning and end to coincide with which ever team you’re talking about.
July 16th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
First of all…..this blog has gone to the dogs….most postings are nothing more then childish rants about nothing of importance.
Grow the F up… all of you.
Just ignore the F-Stick…you ladies are playin right into his stupid game.
Hate to do it…but someone has to.
I know we have some new toys. and a fresh new QB, and the next AP at runningback….but before we go buying superbowl tickets….everyone just take a breath.
Yeah the sched is kinda cushy, and the donkeys and chefs look as vulnerable as ever…..
But we are after all….THE RAIDERS….nothing is ever quite what it seems round here.
Guys talkin playoffs for this team need to check themselves. While improvement is inevitable….I think we are going to be lucky to go 8-8….
So temper the prognogstications….be realistic….and hope that most guys meet their potential on this squad.
If they do….and we end up with a winning record, I’ll be happy to eat my words ….Rock on Nation…two weeks and counting.
July 16th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
denver and kc are far worse than oakland and SD will more beatable than ever before with rivers having that gmp ass knee and LT punking out the way he did
July 16th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Oakglenn…
Unfortunately,the Aso situation is the current business of the NFL. ASO is the odd man out for now.
As long as his agent, doesn’t get a bug up his azz, everything will sort it self out….
July 16th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Steelyone…#39….Well said…
July 16th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Steelyone you need to check yourself!!!! weak minds are not needed around here. if you arent thinking playoffs then why in the f–k are you around? ask the players what they are thinking about!! There is one champion and 31 other losers inthe NFL. You want to be that one and the supporters want to support that one!!
July 16th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
“be happy to eat my words”= way of covering sorry ass
July 16th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
909 I think you are exactly right. The organization signed DeAngelo immediately cutting the value of Nnamdi to the team. I hope things get worked out but being franchised is never a good sign.
July 16th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
I, stand corrected:
Brien… #43, well said….
July 16th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
the schedule is too too advantageous for Oakland and smart folks know it!! to get the mountian mules, cheeks, and the energizer bunnies within the first four weeks helps us be battle tested before we play outside the division against NO,NYJ,Bal,Car,Atl and Miami before we play 3 straight division games that will decide the west winner. call me an optimist if you want but i’m the person who got on the ticket 1050 in 2001 and predicted we never win a super bowl…..i live in the real world and not an delusional one…all the years we stunk I knew it was gonna happen…….lucky to be 8-8? that is some of the most pu$$sy sh!t I’ve ever heard. do you not see parody in the NFL? do you not see the team not stocked with old ass vets? do you see positivity within the team and organization? do you see trash get cut and released? please be serious..only injuries will make us lower than 8-8 because healthy that is the least our record will be.
July 16th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Aso may not be here in 09 they wanna see if Routt can step it up. I aint trippin too tough if he is not. I need a LT and need Cornell Green not starting at RT
July 16th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Oakglenn…
Sometimes, you have to invest in the future, to keep the present afloat..
July 16th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Aso wants 100 million dollar contract but shoot he aint never been on a playoff team or a true elite defense nor has he been a multiple pro bowler. i love the guy and all but call it for what it is……….his challenge comes this year because teams will be forced to try him with hall on the other side….if he is a pro bowler Al will pay him. al always pays the pro bowlers
July 16th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
909raiderlifer, The media has tried to discredit everything but this was a very good offseason. Quiet as kept the media is shocked at that uniformity taking place at Alameda, that’s why you don’t read anymore ridiculous theories of dysfunnctionality. They know there’s nothing there. Every story has nothing of substance only conjecture. I’ve said it many times that Big Al is very fond of Kiffin bu he had to make sure that Kiffin loved his job. That’s no longer an issue.
Flat out the talent is there, NO we’re not a complete team yet. But what team is? Who in here wuyld have selected the Giants to win the SB especially with the wrong Manning? NO ONE!!
There isn’t a source anywhere picking the Raiders to win the division, why?? because they dn’t know who they are and neither do he opponents. For that matter the Raiders don’t know who they are! That’s the best edge that any team can have the element of surprise. Bill Walsh was a master at it, early in the season the Raiders will attack and defenses will not know how to react.
That could pay huge dividends.
July 16th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Investing in the future is the only way in today’s NFL……….the thing for us is……we need the players drafted to step up….that mean Russell,Dmac, Higgins, Henderson,McQ,Gallery,Grove,Miller,Oneal, Morris, Fargas,Schilens,Shields, Howard, Morrison, Sam Williams, Trevor Scott, Branch,Bowie, Aso and Huff gotta be the guys to step up…….you win primarily with your drafted players thats how you win div titles and afc titles and sb titles!!!
July 16th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
You guys know that being the overly optimistic preseason RAIDER fan is a CLICHE….right?
I mean…people actually make fun of fans like that. You Know…the ones so knee deep in love that they can’t see the forest for the trees.
Just look around guys….the AFC is LOADED. We as a team are still trying to freakin walk…after 4 years of crawling around the carpet.
One thing at a time. first and foremost, this team needs to ….LEARN TO FREAKIN CLOSE….
Delude yerslves if ya wanna….just callin em, like I see em.
Carry on Nation
July 16th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Brien…..
Get it now, VENT. You, will feel better tomorrow……..LO effin L…
July 16th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
BHP…..I talked to John Vella and he told me what it really was…..Al was protecting Kiffin from destroying his career. He needed more talent and Al wants him to focus on the offense and wait to fully be a head coach cuz he wasnt ready. Al knows best needs to be a on VH1
July 16th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
Steelyone is a moron……….loaded? Who the f–k is loaded? Indy isnt as strong but damn we dont play them………NE will not be as potent on offense because no year inthe NFL is ever the same and we play them in Oakland in December……we play Jax? Nope I dont think so. We play crap in the AFC this season along with the AFC west
July 16th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
You think Buffalo is loaded? LOL…….You think Houston in Oakland this time around without McNoodlearm starting for us? How about McNoodlearm starting against us in Miami? Baltimore is loaded? Hahahaha. How about Just End The Season(JETS)? You think they will be tough? Hahahahahaha.
July 16th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
I used to enjoy reading and posting on this blog, but MR makes me sick, I can even tell when its him trolling. No offense to you Jerry, I like most of your articles, especially ones that bash the Doinks, but you gotta find a way to get this guy banned, he is ruining it for everybody
July 16th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
MRS is a loser Voldemort and not even down with the Raiders
July 16th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Donkeys have a horrible defense and they are not getting better. to many holes all around and their run defense is a joke and will ve this year. I don’t even feel they have a running back this year they will start slow this season.
July 16th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
No Pitt, No Indy, No Jax, No Cleveland, No Tennessee, No Cincy. I like our chances without those teams on our schedule and god blessed us having us play the trash NFC south
July 16th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
El Dirty the Mountain My Little Pony Mules are done. Cutler isnt all what they hoped he’d be and they lack the tough dlineman and sure tackling LBs they had in the 90s. This aint the same Denver squad people think about. Lynch is old, Cramp Dailey is a overrated loser who gives up a sh!tload of TDs every year. Dre Bly who? Denver is crap and Shanny lost alot when Kubes left
July 16th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
One last thing. It is extremely important that Kiffin coaches aggressively, he simply cannot coach scared, if he does and loses games THAT will definitely get him fired. If he loses games trying to win them, Big Al will support that a lot faster than the timid approach.
Kiffin must attack ………………..period
July 16th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
BHP i feel ya brother but think about it……how could Kiffin show anything last year? no QB, no true threat at RB, zero speed at WR and zero pass blocking on the oline…….it is hard for anyone to do that without those components. he will attack this year just you watch
July 16th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Kiffs knew he had nada last year. Al knew they were gonna stink last season. I keep yelling to people last season was all a plan. Al wanted Russell and Dmac onthe same team and he had a plan all along and Kiffin was in on it. Kiffin and Al are playing the media like fools but it wont be seen by those morons until November……..just you watch
July 16th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Brien, that’s good to hear because everything I’ve heard agrees in essense. It will take him this year and maybe next to really be an NFL coach but after that he must give him the keys. Same as Madden.
July 16th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
BHP…..#51…
Could not agree more. Good things are the horizon.
Our, long natonial nightmare, is soon to be over…
It will, ulitmately be up to the players to buy “IN”.
Kiff, has weeded out most of the “Riff.” and will take care of the “Raff.” in camp.
Not, sayin SB, just yet. But WE will surprie many a doubter out there. And who knows, a lucky bounce or two…. Well maybe, just maybe….
Been “IN” since 1968…..
July 16th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Well Adios boys!!
July 16th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Good nite to the Raider defender and holy one BHP!!!
July 16th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
909- you tell all the haters I told you so when we are smashing the weak teams in october and we fully have Russell in stride with M bush being fully integrated into scheme
July 16th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
OOPS…… SURPRISE……..Dohhh….
July 16th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
I just read the last post #65 Brien and I agree totally. But he must show him that when he does have the tools that he knows what to do with them.
I trust that he does or he wouldn’t be here.
July 16th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
Brien, BHP…. Take care, brothers…
Remember to keep a stick handy, to swat them , “Wagoneers”. off the ride…
July 16th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
goodnite 909= wagoneers deserve a slow painful death……….MRS you hear that?
July 16th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Michael Bush….
SUUCCHHHHHHHHHH NOW.
Had the pleasure of talking to a “rusted” bolt fan, at my ol’ ladys co. picnic, last SAT.
He gave me the usual “Raiders suck”. Line. Then, I asked him “If he had heard of, Mike Bush”.
Being the “rusted” bolt, idiot fan that he is. He said, “No, I haven’t”.
Be, “veewwwwy quwwwwiettt……”
July 16th, 2008 at 11:16 pm

Rush Limbaugh? Oh god more racist right wing politics oh I cant wait. I’d like to ask Rush does he want a new noose and hood or an old one.
July 16th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
get this….
Kiffs knew he had nada last year. Al knew they were gonna stink last season. I keep yelling to people last season was all a plan. Al wanted Russell and Dmac onthe same team and he had a plan all along and Kiffin was in on it. Kiffin and Al are playing the media like fools but it wont be seen by those morons until November……..just you watch
so says Brien
lol dufas….
Al said to himself….SELF….lets end up with a top 5 pick so we can get D-Mac to go along with JR….
yeah….that’s the plan
you just keep talkin out yer ass…Brien
That’s what you do
July 16th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
The season is a series of team match-ups and each game is all about individual match-ups.
Oakland v. Denver comes down to two things. Outrush and have fewer turnovers.
The Raiders run D will likely stink but Denvers will be flat rotten. Fargas and company can keep the pressure off JR and let the rookie(ish) QB play it safe. Cutler’s WR’s match up worse against our CB’s than our WR’s do against their cover men. Denver no longer has the RB’s or TE to exploit our LBs and SS.
Control the clock ala week 13 and sweep the series. Since Elway’s departure the Donks have been sliding. Maybe we are now in position to capitalize.

September 8, 2008
You Oakland Raiders will start a new era of winning in Oakland by thrashing the hated Columbine Mountain Sterile Mules of Denver. The Raiders will have Jamarcus Russell making his Monday Night Football debut in front of a raucous crowd along with the debut of former Arkansas standout running back Darren McFadden. The attitude is optimistic in Oakland due to the offeason activity of Oaklland. The city is pump the fans are dressed in all black with black rags waving in the night. The sellout crowd of over 62,000 haven’t see their team win an opener since 2002, which coincidentally was the last time they were a playoff team after losing the fixed beauracratic Super bowl against the Buccaneers led by the former coach Jon(traior bitch) Gruden.

Josh McCown, the Dolphins’ most-experienced quarterback heading into training camp, injured his right index finger two weeks ago chopping wood at his home in Jacksonville, Texas, according to the Palm Beach Post. He reportedly was holding a piece of firewood while his younger brother—Tampa Bay backup quarterback Luke McCown – cut Josh’s finger instead of the wood.

The Raiders had a bad year last year and were an amazing catch by Reggie Wayne away from beating the Colts. I’m not scared of any team out there. Kiffin has this team prepared mostly for every game – he will be a great Raider coach, and is less conservative – or should I say more aggressive than John Gruden. Many would say this is crazy, but think: we were close to having at least 7 wins last year a ten win (conservative) season is not out of the question.
July 17th, 2008 at 7:01 am
LMN, you post at realfootball365 was pretty funny. Their daily article is almost always fluff, but it was reassuring to note that the Postons don’t represent Aso thank geeyawd.

July 17th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Ha yeah. Hey I looked up the profile on william joseph from raiders.com this guy has been hurt nearly every year since he’s come into the league I believe he sat out last year after a few games sustaining a season ending injury. I thought we were getting someone of value but I guess not. We seriously need more beef or depth of beef in the middle because when our big guys get tired and have to go out who do we have to fill in the void ? Nobody
July 17th, 2008 at 10:32 am
I remember they said that Derrick Burgess was hurt every year, too. William Joseph is the 4th man in our rotation, a former first rounder. We will be fine.
July 17th, 2008 at 10:35 am
But sadly one of the worst run defenses unless something has changed. I think Kiffin has forced RR to make some adjustments so lets see what happens.
LOL @ the McCowns, dumb & dumber with the chainsaws! Josh breaks a pinky playing catch with AW last year and then this!

Steelyone,
I would be estactic to go 8-8 next year. After being in the cellar for the past 5 years I would love to be .500.
Despite how horrble the Raiders have been we are still relevant. I was amazed to hear that the Raiders were opening on MNF. Somebody in TVland agrees that the Raiders will be very interesting next year.

Your plan will not stop him…his goal is to destroy this blog, and your plan will just help him by spreading chaos.
I didn’t say anything about stopping him, hell, I just want all of us to F*ck with him like he does us. He’ll have no more individuality he craves.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
He’s a psycho, that’s all there is to it.

Yes you are, realizing your problem is the 1st step

This is the only way he can interact with society, I guess.

Does Jerry give a damn? Hell No! Raider Fans are always treated like sheit. Same ole, same ole.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Does the Management of this Blog give a damn?
Hell no, they like the post count. for all we know the Troll is the Moderator.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Actually the only way to get under skin is to not respond to his posts. The problem with that is, people in here don’t have enough self control to not engage him and those people are really just as messed up as he is they just dont know it.

If you guys really want to get under MR’s skin, ever time you see him posting his boring “Al Davis is a no good S#!t” diatribe then just change your posting name to MR. Every post should be from MR on the page until the MoRon is gone. Try it. He’s in here doing it to get (unwarrented) attention.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:59 pm

question….opening game, announcing our offense, who comes out at starting rb, fargas or Mcfadden?
July 17th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
You wish you were KoolKell, but why?
July 17th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
KK, the only other person than you calling for Jerry to reg this blog is ME so think what you want.
My name has been hijacked only half dozen times that Im aware of you are complaining of it everyday so I dunno..
Guess we will find out who is who if Jerry makes this halfway house registered.
stfu moron?
What are you 12 ?

July 17th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Let’s hope Fargas only gets about 50 touches this season barring injury to McFadden and/or Bush…that would mean great things for our two young stud RBs.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
I just don’t understand why somebody would want to use somebody else’s name? Do you get your jollies that way?
July 17th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
McFadden,
I would too, but, this troll is determined. I’ll get the managements’s attention if I have to go back and forth with this bastard until one of us is banned.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
It doesnt matter to me who starts. Once the game gets under way everybody is going to touch the ball. DMAC will turn those 12 yard runs by Fargas into 30-60 yard TD’s.
Cut Jordan, trade Fargas for a draft pick, open competition at kicker position, fire RR.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
If some of you bystanders would complain maybe something would get done.

July 17th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Good question. We could potentially have 8 new starters vs. last year’s first game (WR, WR, RT, C, LT, QB, RB, FB).

things are pretty dule in the bay area nowadays not to much happening. Whatever happened to free tibet did they get free or did everyone just forget?

July 17th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Dakota, do you invision Mcfadden in the slot a lot? I mean i can see him doing that but mostly as a decoy, i havent seen to much film wit him as a wide reciever.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Tibet is where the buddhist monks be at. forgive my spelling, in the himmalayas.

I envision McFadden coming out of the backfield in motion trying to get a favorable matchup against a LB…that would not even be fair, lol, and if he shows the ability to burn the LBs consistently, maybe teams will have to scheme special packages keeping an extra CB on the field to deal with McFadden…wich should help improve our running game even more…
Wow, I can’t wait!
Bush can catch too…this could be something special…
I could certainly envision the occasional HB pass…McFadden and Bush in the backfield, McFadden goes in motion, splits out left, Russell takes the snap and pitches out to Bush to the right, Bush pulls up and tosses one to McFadden cutting across the field…TD RAAAAAIDERS! I really hope we can pull something like that off against SD…they always pull out an LT TD pass against us.
START THE PRESEASON NOW!

July 17th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
yeah but i envision mcfadden throwing the pass i hear he can throw to.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
TW,
FYI, I tried your plan last year, they kicked ME out for 4 months.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Fargas has to get the opening night announcement of the line-ups. Felt like last year he was one of the few guys giving 110% every Sunday. He deserves it, McFadden will get a big enough oviation when he trots on the field.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
kool kell why not just switch ur name and build a new reputation….we’ll never know whos who
July 17th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
No, it probably won’t be me. Cancer maybe
July 17th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
be the bigger man about the situation.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
McFadden
I thought about it, but any regular who he perceives to be influential will be subject to the same treatment. It’s not just me
July 17th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Next to Walker, the Fargas signing was the worst of the offseason…way overpaid for a 3rd string RB that can’t catch, rarely breaks tackles, rarely scores TDs and has lost a step due to all of the injuries…
Great team player, hard worker and had a great 8 game stretch last season…but that didn’t call for a big contract…he should be making just above the vet minimum based on his entire resume.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
It’s not my name, it’s my voice he can’t stand.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
No positives to Fargas’ game?
I can’t think of one NFL back who hits the hole quicker than Fargas. Quickness and burst somewhat offset his lack of elusiveness / breaking tackles.
That being said, he’s not a complete back and will never be the game breaker in the open field. His game has changed at all from USC. Quick, tough runner who can’t show off his 4.3 speed (ran at the combine) because he can’t get into the open field.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I agree dakota we completely overpaid, Al outbid himself.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
But if he has another solid year i’m sure we can trade him for a draft pick.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Dakota: I agree with you on the fact that he can’t catch and doesn’t break enough tackles, but he is a legit backup RB in this league, not a 3rd stringer. He plays like a veteran, knows where the chains are, blocks well and rarely fumbles. Rhodes may have been a better runner of the ball, but Fargas was a better all-around back.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
Don’t forget, nobody knows for sure about Mike Bush, Yet.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
137,
He is a great 3rd string RB, nothing more. And his speed is gone, even when he breaks into the open field…(see the premature Mike Williams celebration play for evidence that Fargas no longer has that 4.3 speed). Nothing against the guy, but he simply cannot be a featured NFL back, and he will lose his job to McFadden and Bush (hopefully).
July 17th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
For whatever it’s worth I’m not big on Bush. He has 17 carries since X-MAS OF 2005. Can’t imagine his body holding up for 16 NFL games anytime soon.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
I just posted a comment on the RF365 site telling LMN to get his butt back over to this site, lol.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
true its mcfadden and fargas this year…with bush getting a smell of the field everynow and then, this is mostly a learning year for him, as the games going to be very fast and rough for him. The thing i like about fargas is when he gets rolling his takes 6-8 yards at a time. And i do recall that run play i believe it was in the second half after a long days work for fargas. Sharing the load with mcfadden should give him fresh legs.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
whats the rf365?

City of Denver, to give free movie theater tix, passes to local museums etc. To the cities, estimated 4,000 homeless population. At the time of the Democratic convention, in two weeks.
City officials said, that they don’t want any of the homeless, to accidently get caught up in any potential protests. During the convention.
Homeless advocates, are claiming that the city is merely attempting, to get them out of sight of visitors , to the convention.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
new thread
July 17th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
fargas has become a very good back, third best running outfit 1000 in limited play, and lots of 5-10 yard runs that keep a drive going. Yeah we got to the donks. But if you look, he gives it his all every run, and that’s a lot. when kiff would call his number three times in a row, by that third carry he had lost his steam and it would be for very short yardage… why they kept doing this through out the season is a big question mark… He should be even better this year with other backs they are comited to use/train.. was not a bad move. loyalty and reward of effort have to be a factor
July 17th, 2008 at 3:37 pm

The Autumn Wind is a pirate Blustering in from sea
With a rollicking song he sweeps along swaggering boisterously
His face is weather beaten
He wears a hooded sash
With his silver hat about his head
And a bristly black moustache
He growls as he storms the country
A villain big and bold
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake
As he robs them of their gold
The Autumn wind is a Raider
Pillaging just for fun
He’ll knock you ’round and upside down
And laugh when he’s conquered and won.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
BRONCETTES, going down in 2008! run raiders run, lets do it, ball control, short passes than catch them snoozin with the long ball and tight-end over the middle running the seam. vargas is going to set the tone and intensity for the young bucks, i expect vargas to step up, huge.and this d- line better be right, i like sands in the middle stand tall, pressure, stump the line and put your hands high in front of passes.now hows fitness? offense of line? lets go oaktown! anyone want a portrait of RAIDER in bronze or stone write this address!ill make!
