Davis makes first appearance
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, July 31st, 2009 at 6:47 pm in Oakland Raiders.
A few news and notes from Friday’s second practice:
– Raiders owner Al Davis watched his first practice of training camp, accompanied through much of it by his son Mark.
Davis talked briefly with Robert Gallery, rehabbing from an offseason appendectomy, and spoke with George and Josh Atkinson, the twin sons of former Raiders defensive back George Atkinson and star sprinters and football players at Livermore’s Granada High School.
– Drills were supposed to be at three-quarters speed, but the Raiders second team defense was apparently coming up short of that at one point in the eyes of defensive coordinator John Marshall.
“You guys are going to stay second group for the rest of your (bleeping) life,” Marshall said. “You’re going through the motions. Grow the hell up.”
– More emphasis on teaching _ quarterbacks coach Paul Hackett has quarterbacks JaMarcus Russell, Jeff Garcia, Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye line up in a row in front of them where he spends a few minutes quizzing each on protections and routes.
– Jonathan Compas, an undrafted free agent guard from U.C. Davis, was getting reps as a third team center.
– Erik Pears, the free agent tackle/guard signed as a free agent, jumped offside during one drill.
– The second-team offensive line during one sequence consisted of left tackle Khalif Barnes, left guard Chris Morris, center John Wade, right guard Marcus Johnson and right tackle James Marten.
– Hiram Eugene spent some time with the second-team defense, with Michael Huff working with the first team at free safety.
– Rather than music during stretching as in the Lane Kiffin regime, the Raiders get a running dialogue from strength and conditioning coach Brad Roll.
“We’re bringing in the smokers tonight. You name it, we’re smoking him,” Roll said of the post-practice meal.
“Stretch those quads _ a happy quad makes a happy hamstring,” Roll said.
– Four more “learning intensive” practices before the hitting begins on Monday . . .

•Michael Huff and Tyvon Branch were the safeties with the first team this afternoon.
•Paul Hackett has been doing quite a bit of quizzing with the quarterbacks. He gives each quarterback a play and then gives them a situation and they have to tell him what the read is. JaMarcus Russell seemed to be pretty good at it.

AL said russell is a great player, then why would he throw it all down the drain on a 39yr old qb playing his last 1 yr? sorry guys, garcia is done. 1-2 yrs left. 3 tops. hes done. russell is our future get over it.
July 31st, 2009 at 8:07 pm
anyone going to the raidernation celebration on aug 8? i will boo when garcia takes a snap anyone with me?
July 31st, 2009 at 8:08 pm
anyone know if we still play one saftey deep?
July 31st, 2009 at 8:29 pm
lol. sure…..russell is our qb if you cant see that you will be highly disappointed come the raiders vs chargers and russell takes the field and garcia disappears into the back round for the last time in his career.
July 31st, 2009 at 8:36 pm
Lol,..too funny,..either way Garcia is the qb this year,..after merrimans 8th sack on lardass hes done for the year…I will cheer as russells lying on the infield dirt in a coma.
July 31st, 2009 at 8:39 pm
The truth is regarding the quarterbacks on the roster,..if all were makign equal money, no question Garcia would get the job. But when you put in the ridiculous money Russell gets, Russell starts. He will either have to get hurt, or start 2-10 for Al to finally pull him.
July 31st, 2009 at 8:46 pm
if russell gets sacked 8 time, shouldnt you be calling for the olinemen who was blocking hims head?????
July 31st, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Innovation always looks clumsy and even stupid until it works and it takes off then all of a sudden it’s part of the fabric and a pattern and the norm. This is way beyond anything I’ve ever seen but if it works then it could change the way things are done.
This could cut down on a lot of the lack of discipline and missed assignments that have plagued this team in recent years. Even if it’s just a modest improvement it’s worth it. I really can’t see what the risk is as lng as they get the proper amount of hard work in prior to breaking camp. To make the team physically prepared for a long grooling season starting with the Chargers.
What I’ve seen of Cable’s approach to the running game the last two years I definitely think he understands how to get the team prepared physically.
July 31st, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Dont count on Huff to star.
July 31st, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Damn, I can’t believe anyone would take another old vet QB over the younger more talented, but raw QB. Unless it really isn’t about the potential of the player, but a personal vendetta, or politically fueled opinion. Either way, it’s not in the best interest of the Raiders to use Jeff as a tool to groom the future of the franchise in Jamarcus Russell.
RAIDER ON!
July 31st, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Sorry…. It would not be in the Raiders best interest to use him in any other way than to use him to groom Russell.
How did I miss that important point LOL

—————–
Tom Walsh, Art Shell’s hand-picked offensive coordinator, had been out of the NFL for like 10 years and was running a bed & breakfast in Idaho when Shell hired him. I assume that’s what you’re talking about.

Most of what you’re reading is from trolls.
The registration was definitely a good thing looking at this mess again.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Jeff Garcia is the qb,…hes tough, works hard, will win. Russell is a overpaid never done a thing dude.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Just because he was drafted with the top pick,..bfd,…being paid the kind of change that the mannings and Tom Bradys get…you think hes in their atmosphere?…hells no,..Russell sucks, and I heard he flew a few receivers to his little get together in Mobile because he was running a youth clinic, and being paid to do it,..thank you Al Davis for bringing Garcia,..you jerks will see when we are 7-2 with Garcia leading us who was right,..and we will win the superbowl with jeff garcia,..can I get a hell yea?
July 31st, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!1

He beat Garcia’s team and kept them out of the playoffs.

“You guys are going to stay second group for the rest of your (bleeping) life,” Marshall said. “You’re going through the motions. Grow the hell up.”
Rob Ryan’s version:
“You guys could be starting on any other team in the league, keep doing what you’re doing!”

When you guys start the fantasy league, I’m in.

I dont understand why you people like garcia so much. didnt you watch the last game of the season? when russell lead us to victory?
July 31st, 2009 at 10:15 pm
O…
Its Dec 2012 when the calendar runs out, so we should get 3 good months of football

Not that I think we’d have taken him if Cincy hadn’t but I wonder if we dodged a bullet with Manziere spokes model Andre Smith?
A hol dout is probably the last thing you’d want from this guy after his bizzare combine and shirtless pro day.
Yikes…
July 31st, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Hope it helps.
Oakland has lacked discipline since Gannon went down.
Good for Marshall!
Kick their azzes! Expect more. Hel-l, expect them to do their jobs!
Fundamentals could lead to solid play.

We know thats not you KK.
Pathetic Charger fans.
All those fat contracts doled out to keep your team together in recent years are going o haunt you in 09′.
Clueless Jamie Dukes thinks Phillip Rivers should be paid top tier based on last years impressive performance.
He’s one sack away from a career ending knee injury. So is Merrimaid…
Face it.
They may a have one more good year left, but the Chargers are on the D cline me lady…

Not right, but the reality of pro sports.

Why was Brady Anderson suddenly able to hit 50 homers?
Why could Mark McGwire suddenly play a whole season?
Why could Ben Johnson tear a muscle and then be the fastest guy in the world?
Why could Barry Bonds (and countless others) double their size and become far better than they were before?

Oakglenn Says:
July 31st, 2009 at 12:25 pm
To me, and it took me a while to get this myself, I think most of our defensive problems stemmed from our complete ineptitude on offense.
—————————————————-
See that’s the problem with this guy. He does not have the depth of brain power to understand a concept like this. If a pitcher is winning a game 10-0, he can do things he wouldn’t do in a tie game. If a defense knows their offense is going to put up points, they will address things differently. A defense, in overtime, knows the opponent has the best field goal kicker in the league, they know they have to do things differently. All these things are inter-related. Your offense, defense and special teams affect your other teams on your same side. It happens in all of sports. Coaches and GM’s know this and so do Most excellent sports fans. Imbeciles do not understand it.
——————————————————-
Well put Oakglen
That also translates to the whole “winning seasons” argument “kool”kell throws out. You can hang out in the “9-7 to 10-8″ crowd all you want without taking a chance at the big prize. You get a good track record, but never play for the big one.
THE RAIDERS (AL DAVIS) SHOOT FOR THE BIG ONE…every move, every play…Some work – some don’t Oh well, better off trying for it all, than never playing for it all.
And the Raiders have the best record of trying to play for it all!

Canseco admitted AND endorsed what he was doing as the proper way of doing things professionally as long as it was well thought out and monitored medically.
People ditched on him, and he just told the truth. You probably believe Clemens never touched “illicit” drugs..Right?

Canseco wasn’t snitching…he was preaching! He honestly believed that it was the way to go…as a professional, trying to be the best that he could be.
It’s no coincidence that the Oakland A’s were who they were with him and McGwire. Better living through chemicals, Timothy Leary all the way.
Canseco was a believer, he never tried to hide it.

I was a pitcher, basketball player, and Quarterback…bench press wasn’t a necessary part of my skill set, but being 6′2″ 210lbs, my bench press was 230lbs.
August 1st, 2009 at 12:29 am
however, my vertical leap was 35 inches and I could throw the ball 60 yds accurately
August 1st, 2009 at 12:34 am
Our coach demanded we be able to bench our weight…so I did more because I partied and smoked…same in basketball, I won the pro-sprints because I partied and smoked, didn’t want the coach to be able to come down on me. likewise, if I got hurt before the championship and he said this pill, injection, whatever would help and allow me to play…….who would say NO?

I don’t endorse “steroids” because they have negative long-term repercussions on those who use them.
I do like seeing athletes playing at their consistent best which is what steroids allow them to do.
I wish you could ensure that nobody was using any performance-enhancing supplement so that a level playing field existed….but I am afraid there will no longer ever be a an even playing field.

When considering the astronomical amounts of money on the line, it’s hard for a pro athlete to not seek an edge …
… Since we are all allowed to drink Kool-Aid this time of year, ( akin to R.E. Lee before Pickett’s charge), here’s for hopeing against hope that Chubbustus’ coach doesn’t turn into a pumpkin, and that the Raider defense is ranked twenty something ,( yeah … I’ll settle for twenty-ninth)…

From today’s letters section ,L.A.Times :
A Dog’s Life- “Terrell Owens suggests that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell ’spend some time in prison’ so he can see for himself how hard it was for Michael Vick. I suggest that T.O. be swung around by the neck and beaten, and have all of his teeth forcibly pulled outon his new reality show, so he can understand how Vick’s dogs felt as they were tortured”…

Steroids connections inevitable
February 23rd, 2009, 7:51 am · 9 Comments · posted by sammiller
Much ado about Ervin Santana’s early relationship with trainer Angel Presinal, who has links to the steroids scandals (and whose last name sounds like a steroid, no?). Seems to me that we hardly need to look that deeply into players’ pasts if we’re trying to tarnish them by association; each one of them has shared clubhouse space with known users.
Only Baseball Matters has an amazing post about a 40-year-old Sports Illustrated article about drug use in baseball — and what it says about the writers, teams and athletes who waited 35 years before doing anything about it.
He quotes from that lengthy SI piece:
“A few pills—I take all kinds—and the pain’s gone,” says Dennis McLain of the Detroit Tigers. McLain also takes shots, or at least took a shot of cortisone and Xylocaine (anti-inflammant and painkiller) in his throwing shoulder prior to the sixth game of the 1968 World Series—the only game he won in three tries. In the same Series, which at times seemed to be a matchup between Detroit and St. Louis druggists, Cardinal Bob Gibson was gobbling muscle-relaxing pills, trying chemically to keep his arm loose. The Tigers’ Series hero, Mickey Lolich, was on antibiotics.
———————————
Angel Presinal worked with Brian Downing who will be inducted into the Angel’s Hall of Fame this month.

Hey Random Drug Trester,
Ever thought that baseball fans are so up in arms about steriods, not because of how much better that they play on it and we think they are cheating, but that these players continue to act like 5 years old caught with there hand in the jar. These guys get caught red-handed, failing drug tests is about as obvious as can be, and are so self-absorbed they continue to lie to the fans, who pay there salary in effect, and treat us like we are either so stupid, gullible, or in awe of them that we won’t care if they both cheat and than lie to our faces about it. Get a clue dude.
And I played JC baseball, had Kyle Lohse on my team, and none of us were doing juice. The Butte football team was a different story, however.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:45 am
So my buddy, a huge lib in Portland and a car salesman, is up in arms about the “cash for clunkers” deal, and not just because it is a total nightmare and his dealership has yet to receive some of the money.
When as a dealer, he told me, you sign into the site, a terms and conditions screen pops up, just like most sites, but he decided to read it. It scared the crap out of him, and for those against W’s wiretaping should be up in arms. As a dealer, when you sign in, you agree that your computer, when logged in, is now gov’t property, and can be seized for any reason, and all your personal information can be seized, including browsing history and so on. Nothing my come out of it, but another “liberty” being taken away, even if just a little bit. Our civil liberties, capitalism and the constitution are dying the death of a thousand cuts before our eyes folks.

Yes sales were up, put these dealerships (including the one my buddy works at) are in the hole for 6 figures, waiting for gov’t checks on rebates. When they announced they ran out of money, questions started arising if they gave rebates to customers that they won’t get refunded. Would you be willing to say that every dealership is going to get there money back, being that it is already underfunded? Dealerships are panicking, and 75% (according to the NY Times) of people coming in with their “clunkers” are being turned away. Poorly planned, poorly run. Shocking.

What a crock of sh!t. If your bussy is in the hole for 100K minimum, he sold at least 50 cars under the policy. OBAMA SAID ALL SALES WILL BE HONORED AND PAID AND ANNOUNCED MORE MONEY TO KEEP THE PROGRAM GOING! Your buddy should be praising Obama for the business.
And 75% are being turned away because they don’t meet the guidelines. Older car, under 18 mpg, etc. So shocking.

I work for a Toyota Dealer. #1 dealership of any make in the Phoenix area. We gave out a sh*tload of those rebates and our Sales Dept. is not worried about any of it. They shut down the program but we were told all rebates dated before the announcement will be honored, so no one is panicing here…
just some inside info, from the dealership side.
Soooooooooo, what up with the Silver & Black?
August 1st, 2009 at 9:49 am
There are programs that only the owners know about, they get huge rebates from the Factories on every car sold, and then they make money on trade-ins, and service has specail programs too that AZ can share with you. ( my exp is in Sales & finance, but not service)

Been a Toyota owner for 13 years and have worked for Toyota for 7. Awsome automobile and great clientel.
That’s funny O, in 2000 I convinced my best friend to buy the 4×4 Tacoma TRD. He had it a few years, put about 80k on it and had to get something bigger when his wife got preg. So I bought it from him for $11,500. I drove it a few years and put another 80k on it, and sold it for 11,000! Cost me $500 for for years of an awsome vehicle.
My rock crawler is an 85 Longbed! Bad arse! Looks like it just came off the showroom floor inside, but the paint is all scratched up from plowing through desert brush and light scraps from canyon walls. I bought IT for $3500, put about another $500 into it, and I get offeres on the trails for 7-9,000! They hold thier value, thats for sure.

A sampling of what is going on between water breaks behind the Napa Valley Marriott:
Beat the can: The defensive line goes against upturned garbage cans. Everyone gets in their assigned spot, then some of them go into motion to a different point of attack before the imagined snap.
Change that call: The quarterbacks line up in a corner to work on audibles. Quarterbacks coach Paul Hackett gives a defensive situation. The quarterbacks don’t just call out an audible, but they bark it out side to side and make hand signals as if they were actually communicating to teammates.
Air ball: The passing offense faces the passing defense in seven on sevens. The receivers, tight ends and running backs run full routes in coverage, but the quarterback doesn’t throw the ball. At one point, defensive coordinator John Marshall – as if out of habit – calls out, “It’s time for a pick!”
Short run-through: The run game is choreographed in team noncontact drills. The ball is snapped and handed off to a running back, followed by an instant whistle. Coaches make sure everyone lined up right and went to the right spot. Offsides and false starts were an unusual occurrence, given the slo-mo circumstances.

AZ,
Just talked again with my buddy who is assistant sales manager and one of the top producers at the Portland Toyota dealership. He told me of the 11 cash for clunker deals he did in July, 3 of them were denied by the government, even though they met the standards according to the website, and thus his dealership is out that money. In total, he told me that his dealership gave out over 100K worth of these deals that met the standards but were still denied by the gov’t. His dealership was more profitable in June than July, even though they sold roughly 25% more cars. He told me some place in the area were as high as 40% of claims denied. Also, they can’t find a wreckage yard to pick up any of the cars now, since the yards realized that it is not profitable since the engines are destroyed. He said it was one of the lead stories on the news last night, that nobody is willing to remove the cars from the lot. Are you experiencing any of these problems? Just curious.

This approach is all good. As long as the coaches follow up the next three weeks with a very, very, very, low tolerance for mental errors going forward. They also have to teach these guys to play on the other side of the line of scrimmage and be more attacking (whether offensively or defensively).
Cable better not forget to toughen these guys up too. I would expect a very physical and crisp training camp after this 5 day teach-in

I’m work in the Service Dept. but we are all pretty good at communicating whats going on in other depts. I havent heard of our dealership having ANY problems with the program, or getting the cars removed from the lot. Could be upper management is keeping it under wraps as far as the rebates go until all is said and done, but it has not been mentioned at any meetings of late.

Just asked one of the Sales managers, and he said it’s not fool proof, but hasn’t had any deals go bad so far. He said, you just have to dot your “I’s” and cross your “T’s” when it comes to submitting for the rebate. He said if your doing it “right” you shouldn’t have any denied deals…

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.

=======================================================
Because unlike guys like Brady Quinn, Matt Stafford, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, and Mark Sanchez….Russell stays out of the public limelight. He doesn’t do any interviews….not doing photo-shoots…..he’s not in commercials…he’s not doing ESPN interviews…or showing up on NFLN every other week and the like. Plus he’s a Raider and has been shrouded in controversey due to Al Davis’ poor coaching and personnel selections. Plus the Raiders record has been awful..Also the contract hold-out
That’s why Russell is hated on by fan and foe alike. Russell’s unwillingness to really engage with the media generates a lot of hate. Especially with local media.
Plus the guy isn’t cut from central casting either…at least not from a QB perspective…and you can read between the lines with that last statement.
Go ahead JaMarcus,…give’m hell…and do it your way!
August 1st, 2009 at 11:47 am
The NFL network’s love affair with Mark Sanchez in the weeks leading up to the draft was nauseauting. These “media” outlets cater to those that cater to them, which is why SnB is right. Russell hasn’t made any friends in the media, might have even pissed off a few, and so they are going to be slightly biased in their coverage. It is only human nature.

The NFL network’s love affair with Mark Sanchez in the weeks leading up to the draft was nauseauting. These “media” outlets cater to those that cater to them, which is why SnB is right. Russell hasn’t made any friends in the media, might have even pissed off a few, and so they are going to be slightly biased in their coverage. It is only human nature.
^^^^^^Exactly! How much more homosexual can the national sports media become?
Freakin pathetic!
