Cable only talking about Raiders-49ers
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, August 21st, 2009 at 3:35 pm in Oakland Raiders.
A few news and notes from Friday’s walkthrough as the Raiders prepare to face the 49ers Saturday night:
– Coach Tom Cable declined comment regarding the news that the Napa Police Department has reopened the investigation of the alleged assault of a Raiders assistant coach by another member of the staff. Numerous reports have named Randy Hanson as the injured coach and Cable as the alleged attacker.
Cable said Thursday the club was handling the matter internally and that when the facts were known, “Everything will be fine.”
Hanson has not gone on record, nor has his reported attorney, John McGuinn, who could not be reached for comment.
The investigation means the Napa Police Department will be interviewing potential witnesses and form a matter of record from which the NFL can use as a starting point for its own investigation for potential discipline.
– Darren McFadden will start against the 49ers at running back, which means Michael Bush will get his chance against New Orleans. Cable said Thursday each of three running backs would get a start.
– If Ricky Brown has overtaken either Kirk Morrison at middle linebacker or Jon Alston at strong side linebacker, you won’t be able to notice it by Saturday night’s starters. Thomas Howard will open on the weak side, Morrison in the middle, and Alston on the strong side.
– Rookie defensive end Matt Shaungnessy, who has missed the last three days of practice with a foot sprain, will not face the 49ers.
– Cornell Green left practice Wednesday after being poked in the right eye and did not practice Thursday, but will be able to start against San Francisco.
– Louis Murphy is looking forward to getting his first start alongside fellow rookie Darrius Heyward-Bey.
“Hey, we gotta step up. We gotta play,” Murphy said. “We gotta come out and we gotta play to the best of our ability. It’s a sharp learning curve. You have to really pick up on the playbook and pick up on the coverages, and just go out and just do what you know.”
Murphy seemed unfazed by the talk that it was his trash-talking that got the 49ers fired up for their goal line dismantling of the Raiders passing game Wednesday morning.
“That doesn’t change my approach, man,” Murphy said. “And I’m sorry if I stepped on any toes, man, but I’m just trying to fit in this league. And it that’s by keeping my mouth closed a little longer, that’s what it is. But I’m just happy to be here, man. I’m ready to go to work.”

It will be good to see DMAC start a game.
DMAC should go out and TAKE the job tomorrow and leave no questions in Cable’s now burdened mind.
Murphy has an outstanding attitude.
Players gotta have a strong performance tomorrow and get after it. Time to start flying around

TC: Do you think I’m cute, assistant Hanson? Do you think I’m funny?
H: Sir, no, sir!
TC: Then wipe that disgusting grin off your face.
H:: Sir, yes, sir.
[tries to stop smiling]
TC: Well, any fucking time, sweetheart!
H: Sir, I’m trying, sir.
TC: Assistant Hanson I’m gonna give you three seconds; exactly three-fucking-seconds to wipe that stupid looking grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuk you! ONE! TWO! THREE!
H: Sir, I can’t help it, sir, you keep giving Justin Fargas carries!
TC: Bullshit! Get on your knees scumbag!
[Hanson drops down to his knees]
TC: Now choke yourself.
[Hanson wraps his own hands around his throat]
TC: Goddamn it, with MY hand, numb-nuts!
[Hanson reaches for Cable’s hand]
TC: Don’t pull my fucking hand over there! I said choke yourself; now lean forward and choke yourself!
[choking Hanson]
TC: Are you through grinning?
H: No sir if you are going to keep giving Justin
Fargas carries!
TC: Bullschit, are you through grinning?
H: Sir, yes, sir.
TC: Bullschit, I can’t hear you!
H: (louder) Sir yes sir!
TC: STILL can’t hear you! Sound off like you’ve got a pair!
H: SIR, YES, SIR!
TC: That’s enough; get on your feet. Assistant Hanson you had best square your ass away and start shitting me Tiffany cufflinks or I will definitely fuk you up!
H: Are you going to keep playing Fargas?
(TC attacks H)
TC: I am going to kill you!
August 21st, 2009 at 3:41 pm
The Hanson/Davis angle is a joke. Davis took this guys side against Kiffin and it lead to this. That’s his fault. And to believe that he’ll have to rely on this guy in any hearing against Kiffin is darn near hilarious if it weren’t so sad and true.
August 21st, 2009 at 3:43 pm

=======================================================
Davis needs some help in managing this team. There really needs to be a go-between that shields the coaches and players from this owner.
Let Davis continue to “manage” the draft and roster as he sees fit. But he really needs to stay out of the coaches business.
The primary reason this team has been s%@t 10 of the last 15 or so years is because Davis really has no clue how modern NFL coaches think and work.
With that said….I hope the players put all this nonsense aside and play ball
August 21st, 2009 at 3:45 pm

August 21st, 2009 at 3:52 pm
SnB-SUPPOSEDLY this clown went crying to Davis when he was demoted and Davis told him he wouldn’t undermine his HG.as Terrapin says,Davis probably kept this weasel around because he needs him in his battle with Lance,but it looks as though Davis isn’t interfering with the coaches.

August 21st, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Whats up, Nation?
Been a while since I posted, though I always read up on the Raiders (and their bloggers) and wanted to post a few things I feel neccecary to address.
1. Chaz is a big loss despite the fact he caught less than 20 balls last season. He was clearly the top WR and player in general of camp.
1a. I had the exact same injury as Chaz (Left 5th metatarsal) a few years back when I was playing hockey. Walking cast for 4 weeks, wasn’t playing for another 3. As cautious as Cable appears to be with Walker, Id’ say Chaz will be back in time to play Philly.
2. DMC will show the world why he is dangerously explosive and in need of a breakout season to debunk the notion he is a bust or some sort of “poor man’s Reggie Bush.” That will start tomorrow.
3. Don’t put too much stock in this awful practice the Raiders had. True, we can’t picture Manning or Brees having a practice like that, but you never know.
In an age where even an August practice is instantaneously posted on twitter, blogged about, and Monday Morning QBed by the likes of White, Kawakami, and Jerry – and us as well – we have to appreciate that its JUST PRACTICE (Allen Iverson, can i get an ‘amen’?). They watched the film and will be better for it.
3a. Even if it didn’t work, I like that Cable is pushing Russell and putting him outside the current check-down comfort zone.
3c. I like Russells reaction to an extent (”world’s not over, if it is – show me”). You don’t have to breathe fire out there to be succesful but you do have to be succesful to be succesful.
In other words, JR doesn’t get rattled easily if at all. He’ll shake it off and be better for it. On the other hand, you should not have to rely on your own back up to rally the troops. Lead by example. Throw TDs and not INTs.
4. CABLE BUMAYE!!!!!!
For those of us who want to shed the tough guy/gangsta image…..um, maybe wanna try the team across the bay. Grab a laptop and a latte and keep your Crabtree jersey on layaway a bit longer, ladies its almost time for (real) football.
I’m mixin up a batch a kool aid with enough to go around, even for the doubters and pessimists.
August 21st, 2009 at 3:59 pm
The bottom line is…if coach did attack Hanson he should be fired straight away. Totally unacceptable. You can’t lead men when you yourself act like a fool.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:01 pm
MURPHY has a great attitude. he should get all the Raiders to think like him Jamarcus for example…
Lets go Raiders make those forty winers cry tomorrow…
August 21st, 2009 at 4:06 pm
should everyone get to play so nobody gets their feelings hurt too Simon?this isn’t little league.

August 21st, 2009 at 4:09 pm
D-Mac will show the NFL this season why he was a sleeping giant. No more terf toe bitch’es…
August 21st, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Have you seen the official team picture of Randy Hanson? The guy looks like a mental patient.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:16 pm
I also like that Al Davis has Cable’s back. Finally a coach he can be on board with. A coach who sees eye-to-eye with him (if Cables sitting in a golf cart next to AD).
Which is going to be more upsetting when Cable’s watching Al’s latest overhead presentation and introduction of Coach Willie Brown from county.
In all seriousness, this will linger throughout the course of the season, ending with a suspension of Cable for a few games, settlement out of court to Hanson, and constant ridicule from the sportsworld.
Only way to shake it or at least dilute it is to win.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:18 pm
I’m out Nation.
Be good.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:18 pm
LA to Bay,
How do you know Al has Cables back?
August 21st, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Cable gets lashes by the Leauge. Thats the worst of it. So what?!
Your telling me a team like the Bengals criminal history isn’t as bad as this?
There were SIX fights yesterday at the Saints-Texans scrimmage.
SIX!!!
Why aren’t these people under investigation by the League?
Oh, because it was potentially a coach! Ooh! oh!
Get this right Oaakland Raiders.
Start to practive and play like winners and it all goes away.
You be come the darlings, the Legends who restored Raider greatness and glory.

It worked out just great.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Who the hell cares how many people Cable hits.
The main thing is that we win games!
August 21st, 2009 at 4:39 pm
It’s a great day to be a Raiders fan. Isn’t it?
Sniffle…sniffle…the coaches had a fight. Waaaah.
Stop the whining! Back in the day, this would’ve been just “boys being boys.” Now, it’s a disaster of major proportions.
It’s no secret Hanson’s not the guy you want getting your back in Oakland. If he can’t get along with other coaches, he shouldn’t be around them.
Unless provoked beyond reason…If Cable can’t control his temper, he needs some anger management classes and to pay a hefty financial settlement to Hanson. Oh, yeah…maybe some community service to show contrition.
Then, it’s just another tale in the long line of Raiders’ tales. Sometimes, those tales come during really good/great years even. Tough times bring out the best in many teams…and it’s been awhile since it happened to this one.
The players actually LIKE Tom Cable, and they like his approach to the game and season. How his approach translates on the field during the season is yet to be seen…but HIS players seem likely to rally around their HC.
That’s something I can’t say about the past few coaches here.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:40 pm
think i’ll go listen to the KHTK guys and get their no doubt negative spin on things.Grant Napar hates us,Mike Lamb(ex-Raider)says he is a fan but never has anything good to say about us.later.

August 21st, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Chaz being out is too bad. He is looking good for us though and will be back. Four to six weeks sounds real optimistic.
SD has Jackson out for awhile with his injury.
The other receivers just need to step up.
We don’t know whether Walker is for real yet or not. On no account should they let him head for Vegas.

Actually Ron — Most players thought Lance was a cold fish. He had virtually no communication with Defensive players…not even Nnamdi (who expressed his surprise to have Lance even talk to him on a plane ride home after another disaster game. Too late to seek counsel from even his best player…Kiffie was gone soon thereafter).

Couldn’t they just use write-in ballots?

KK…One of the most rigid opinions in here…who normally speaks on behalf of entire cities/races…is talking about other people speaking for other people.
HYPOCRITE ALERT HYPOCRITE ALERT HYPOCRITE ALERT
KK — I didn’t speak for Nnamdi, he spoke for himself. You want to act like Lance had a better relationship with his players than he did, you go right ahead. If that were the case…Kiffin would still be here.
If ANY single player went to Al in support of Kiffie, he wasn’t one who swung a big-enough bat. Certainly, not enough players — elite or not — went to bat for Lance…before OR after his firing (not even now-ex-Raiders, who are usually lightning-fast with a quip…true or not).
KK — Lance was like an enigma…like a surreal moment in Raiders history…thankfully a short one we are now recovering from.
Now Kell — Go back to sleep, or find a non-fan to scrap with.

So are you saying he should hit somebody else? JK
point taken
August 21st, 2009 at 5:22 pm
ya know… i gotta believe there is a whole lot more to this story…
we need a Paul Harvey moment…
clearly Hanson said or did something that set cable off…
now if Hanson simply had a disagreement or he was a little out of line… then Cable has some explaining to do…
but if Hanson told Cable to suck his … or told Cable his daughter gave lousy … or some other interesting personal anecdote…
well then… we all know what poking a stick at a bear will get you…
California can’t write enough laws to overcome nature… and that is the natural impulse to pummel a smartass prick who desperately needs it…
August 21st, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Here’s the problem.
Cable tried to fire the punk kid but Davis overruled him
Davis kept the punk kid around to be “eyes and ears”
I speculate that the punk kid was prancing around like he was the boss or something and Cable had enough of it.
Bottom line…the punk kid was PLACED there by Al Davis.
So its not so much a story about emotion or putting someone in their place.
Its about Tom CAble eliminating the meddlesome ways of Davis….by choking out HIS guy!
August 21st, 2009 at 5:26 pm
and that is the natural impulse to pummel a smartass prick who desperately needs it

August 21st, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Screw Hanson, he’s obviously a small little smart@#* or else Cable wouldn’t have put him in his place… I don’t think he would do it for no reason. Besides who’s stupid enough to talk smack to a corn fed white boy that’s his size?!? Only someone who thinks they’re invincible that’s who… turns out he just has a glass jaw…

Until Hanson can produce a corroborating witness it is a case of he said/ she said. He (Cable) may having been trying to stop Hanson from tripping over his big mouth but could not stop him before he slammed into the furniture. And what is up with this “You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down” junk?

al davis and the raiders have attorneys that will be more than happy to schedule interviews with any of the staff the police choose to interview…
those interviews would be taking place at the Raiders convenience…
there is a difference between being a suspect and being a witness…
i am also sure that were Cable to be arrested, he would have nothing to say and would be out on bond in no time…
let’s play football…
August 21st, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Awsome posts #17 & 27.Right on Raider brothers.I couldn’t agree more. Winning will cure the ridicule and pretty soon all the media haters will be silenced. We as loyal fans must keep the faith. Raider Nation rises again! starting now! Raiders 4 life.

I’m not worried about cable getting into legal trouble its the NFL that worries me .

Why didn’t The assistant do something before. It happened on the 5th.
Why Now???

Come on O,
The story is sooooo much better if Cable just gave him that Clint Eastwood scowl and decked him!
That must have been awesome(allegedly).

LOL Pete! Good Point.
I’m sure there won’t be one “witness” that confirms Hanson’s story.
He was mad, and tripped over his chair while trying to storm out to Al Davis’ office. Self inflicted clumsy episode.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Man ..watching this dink-n-dunk offense the Cowgirls are running is torturous. I know its preseason but man is this hard to watch. Thank GAWD for Raider football.
I think they got weaker on margin since losing T.O. Roy Williams is going to get his numbers likely; but he just isn’t the same as a T.O.
Our starting offense is performing better than Tenn’s vs Dallas 1st string. Our defense? Its questionable.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Couple things I’m looking REAL close at tmw …
What formations Cable uses. Hopefully a lot of 2 TEs.

August 21st, 2009 at 6:25 pm
We should’ve been .500 last year Nnamdi21, don’t you think?
If’s safe to say that with a coach that isn’t trying to get fired, A LT not named Kwame Harris, and starting McFadden will get us to .500.
Now if we can get a few other positions solidified, then look out.

I’ll be most interested in how JR performs with Schilens out. Will he look lost, unsure? He really needs to learn how to use ALL his WRs.
How does Murph and DHB perform?
The defense? Man, I don’t know what to say. If they don’t fix that RDE spot from what I saw, its going to be a long season. But patching up that spot, at least, isn’t too difficult.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:28 pm
2 TE set HAS to be our base offense. Just has to. With the weapons we have, how can it not be?
August 21st, 2009 at 6:32 pm
JR does tend to play favorites. Spreading it around would certainly be a good thing. I think he took what was open last week. They were obviously doubling DHB , while Chaz what getting single coverage. He threw it away to DHB a couple of times to keep them honest.

We should’ve been .500 last year Nnamdi21, don’t you think?
If’s safe to say that with a coach that isn’t trying to get fired, A LT not named Kwame Harris, and starting McFadden will get us to .500.
Now if we can get a few other positions solidified, then look out.
======================
NOT overly optimistic. Not sure about .500, but definitely should’ve won a few more than we did.
Opener against Denver?
Blame Kiffin
Buffalo?
Blame Hall.
KC?
Blame Cable.
SD?
Blame the offense.
Carolina?
Blame Walters.
N.O.?
Blame the whole frikkin team.
Could’ve won a couple more, but man, there were some brutal blow outs.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Buffalo, SD, and KC should have ALL been wins. We gave those games away.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:37 pm
This will be an interesting game to see how fast these young WRs can come to form.
Based on that Dallas game I have the Raiders as being close to a 0.500 team. (7-9 kinda team …improvement).
Who knows …they fix RDE, start DMC&Bush and this defense plays tough …they can be even better. Its there.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:40 pm
Thats why I don’t see how someone can say DHB was a bad pick as of right now. Dude was serving his purpose 1st game out the gate! Drawing doubles and pushin’ the DBs back. Chaz was getting open all over the field!
I just don’t understand it. But I guess people have a tendency to bitch when they don’t get what they want and harp on the negative while ignoring the positives.

Moron.
Left the hotel and went straight to hospital. Xrays show a crime was committed.
By everyone’s admission, he was at work when it happened.
Cable, being the log he is, admitted that he “flipped his chair, and he hit a cabinet”
Cable also, in his “I’m too dumb to be outside after dark” mode, also stated “Nothing HAPPENED.” which makes him a liar on top of it.
Al Davis THEN VERIFIES SOMETHING HAPPENED by demoting him, offering him to “become office personnel, view game films, or just take your check and do nothing” which means he’s done as a coach.
Oh hell yeah he’s got a case…BIG TIME…one that I suspect a check with a 3 followed by 6 zero’s on it will effectively squash the case.
What you’re talking about, 4neva, is you had no witnesses to you peeking in windows of the boy’s locker room.
Not the same thing.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:48 pm
I missed the report where Cable said he flipped his chair, and he hit a cabinet. Do you have a link?
I saw the one where sources reported that’s what happened, but I didn’t see one where he admitted it., Yop, if he admitted that, then it’s a problem for him, but I doubt that happened.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:49 pm
And how can Xrays show that a crime happened?
August 21st, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Circumstantial evidence.
Saying you were robbed, where no one saw it, and you can’t prove what you had, is my word against yours.
But when you state you were attacked, and have the injuries to prove it, and witnesses saying “yes, he was there at work” and you state it was an employee?
Circumstantial evidence convicts many.
Considering how Cable waffled as each day went by doesn’t bode well for him..shows he’s got something to hide.
Think about it.
IF no one attacked him? IF no one did this, and it was a simple accident? Stating “was an accident. that’s all” but he didn’t even do that.
He went from “nothing happened” to “I flipped his chair” to “we’ll take care of this internally”..
A prosecuting attorney’s dream scenario
August 21st, 2009 at 6:59 pm
109. Not exactly
August 21st, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Again, where is the link.
We will handle this internally, and Nothing happened is the only thing Cable is on record as saying.
Tom Cable’s lawyer will say that he tripped over a chair, and hit his chin on something. Have no idea what it was, just heard a thud.
All 3 witnesses in the room and their lawyers will confirm Cable’s version.
Or something like that.

Hanson is trying to get back at Cable for being demoted. The defensive players will tesitify, with their lawyers present of course, that Hanson was sabotaging the DBs by calling coverages the DC was not aware of.

O, I certainly hope that Cable knew better than to deck the guy, who probably deserved it. Still, if he wins the opener or is even 2-2 after four games, all is forgiven. He won’t get fired over this, that’s for sure.
I too, am more worried about Goodell suspending him for a few games, which is looking more possible with each passing day. Who would be HC in that instance? Hackett has experience, Tollner, Marshall, Hanson??? I am just tired of a system where there is Al, and then way down the ladder is the HC, and everybody else is mish mash, as Jerry wrote.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:10 pm
I take it you were looking for something that actually backed you argument? Is that what took you so long to respond? Or did you think we went away? LOL!
I know you tend to forget what you post, so here it is again for you:

You literally made up everything you said. Not one piece of it is fact.
Again, I ask you for the link where Cable says he flipped the chair.
Again I ask you how Xrays of a broken jaw prove a crime was committed? Instead of say him hitting hs jaw on a desk after stumbling?
Where is the proof that Cable is lying when he said nothing happened between him and Hanson? I bet Cable has everyone in the room back his story.
Al accepting the coaches decision to demote him to the film room verifies something happened? Really? What? Al deciding to honor his contract or let him work in a different department verifies that same thing?
Really?

See..you’re confused.
first off you have to be able to complete passes to find a “favorite”.
Worst starting qb in the NFL last year means he couldn’t hit water from a boat.
his favorite target?? THE TIGHT END.
What does that tell you?
come on, nitwit..you can do it….RIGHT..HE CHECKED DOWN.
The leading WR last year caught 22 passes.
Means the BEST WR ON THE RAIDERS LAST YEAR CAUGHT LESS THAN 2 BALLS PER GAME.
so please..”favorite receiver”??

that would be the Niners Dbacks.

Cable wanted to bench him around game 6.

Cable notified one and all that “KWAME IS OUR STARTING LT, AND THAT IS THAT.”
In other words, Cable has as much control over the team as he has over his own emotions during meetings..NONE.

What? You don’t follow Al?
How can you state something that stupid?

Yeah, Cable went to bat for Kwame, like a fool.
Al bit.
And gave him a completely ridiculous contract.
Al got laughed at.
Al hates getting laughed at.
If Al wanted Henderson all along he would have been in.
Answer me this.
Kwame was the absolute WORST STARTING TACKLE IN THE LEAGUE..right?
By week 8..BAR NONE.
Are you saying that when Cable announced “Kwame is our starting LT” he actually FELT THAT WAS THE RIGHT MOVE??
If he did he’s the dumbest coach in America..easily.
Hell, even someone as slow as you know who made that decision..the same guy who ALREADY ADMITTED HE BLEW IT WITH HILL, AND WALKER, and obviously blew it with Kelly’s contract..and NOW HARRIS IS A BUST??
Cable was a flea who had no choice but to do what Al said to do, when he said to do it.

Al makes ALL the draft picks, right? Well who drafed Henderson?
Well I guess that was technically 2 questions.

I will say that you need a better answer though. Perjury, or PERJURY as you like to call it, has to be proved, right?
How are they going to prove that Cable is lying?
August 21st, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Cmon Little Ricky!
You’ve had a half hour or so to at least answer 1 question. You referred to the questions (although you weren’t here, wink-wink), and even knew the #s of the posts. You have no answers to the questions? You know the questions that basically blow your whole argument out of the water? Are you saying NO MAS to that position you took earlier?
I have no problem moving on ….. to say discussing your team. Have you ever actually come out and say what team you root for? I’m sure it was Dallas last weeek, as it it will be whoever we play next week.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Just the thought of possibly facing a felony charge over an original charge that could be plea bargained down to a misdemeanor and/or a civil settlement is enough…
It’s foolish to believe that these coaches will lie under oath and face 5 years in jail for Tom Cable.
The case will probably not even make it to court and will not be open for investigation much longer.
But yea, to think that they will dummy up on the stand is stupid.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Exactly Teabag,
It will never make it to court, so there will be no statements under oath. In fact, I doubt there will be enough evidence to even bring any charges. I could be wrong, so I’ll ask u, what evidence do you think they can come up with to get Cable charged?
Ricochet seems to think that statements that sources are attributing to Cable, and X-Rays of a broken jaw will do.
I, on the other hand, agree with Pete when he says that the Raiders will make any witnesses available to the police that they want. Of course the company lawyer will be there actually answering the questions. As employees of the Raiders, talking about an incident that happened at work, the Raider lawyers will definitely be the front line on this.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:23 pm

August 21st, 2009 at 10:26 pm
You guy’s are so caught up in this stuff that you forget that the only reason the cops reopened the case is his jaw was broken. They were forced to do it. Do you really think the Napa police want to be respnsible for losing the Raiders coming in and bringing all this business every year. The Mayor of Napa is probably on the phone with principle parties Telling them t make it go away as soon as possible. Hell Goodell is probably doing the same thing. Had Cable done something to a civilian yeah we would probably have something serious to worry about.
But Randy Hanson carries no cache he’s a non-entity who probably provoked the whole thing. He’ll heal and move on with a decent check to represent the ordeal. But if anyone in here thinks this is going anywhere.
Get a clue!
Something like this was eventually going to happen to Hanson unfortunately. He needs to go though the academics and get his money and case closed……….period
August 21st, 2009 at 10:28 pm

I, on the other hand, agree with Pete when he says that the Raiders will make any witnesses available to the police that they want. Of course the company lawyer will be there actually answering the questions. As employees of the Raiders, talking about an incident that happened at work, the Raider lawyers will definitely be the front line on this.
——————————————-
There is no smoking gun.. Obviously.
But, a chronological timeline that shows Hanson was indeed in the same room with the mentioned coaches at X time with broken furniture and Hanson checking himself into the ER not too long after this meeting is more than enough to go on. All they need is one person to put their name on it to have Cable charged and arraigned.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:30 pm
BHP, what up Bro, see u are lurkin……
Give me your take on how the rooks do. Specifically
the WR’s…….
I think they will do well, murphy is good, DHB will command the bracket as usually. Do you see them running 2 TE’s sets?
August 21st, 2009 at 10:32 pm
And I think the Niners are going to bend the Raiders over tomorrow. At least the first teamers.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Check?
If u think Al is going to pay him a penny more than his contract calls for now, then I think you’re mistaken. Hanson has ZERO leverage. Worst case scenario has this as a his word vs Cable’s, and Cable has all the witnesses on his side.
This only becomes a story when someone in the room other than the 2 principals goes on the record to back Hanson’s side. I just don’t see that happening.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:35 pm

—————————————————–
Really?
I’d argue that those set of circumstances equally support a guy so enraged at his demotion, that he lost his bearings, stumbled over some furniture, and injured himself.
And you are assuming there was broken furniture. More source of a source stuff.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Really Teabag?
Well, according to Ricochet, Singletary is sitting the 1st teamers, so I guess we might be catching a break. Maybe Singletary is going to take it easy on us?

Not really assuming…
Just being logical..
Somebody fabricating there was broken furniture is pretty silly…You are sticking to the “Nothing Happened” routine to a fault.
It’s cool to be pro “Nothing Happened” but he fact is SOMETHING happened lol. And once they put the pressure on, somebody will talk. Hanson will get a settlement paying him more than his contract.
This is real life, This aint an episode of The Wire.

Don’t know Ricochet. But, history calls him a liar. 2nd and 3rd preseason games are the biggest tune ups for the players. Maybe Mike is different. I don’t know.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:43 pm
The Wire?
That was a damn good show.
Anyway, logical doesn’t in this case. We are talking about facts.
We all know what happened. But the point is what can they prove!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:43 pm
and BTW, I am just playing Devils Advocate with this Hanson ordeal.
I subscribe to the belief that Hanson was an informant for Al. Cable probably hated the guy, didnt want him on his staff, and felt some resentment to wards the current situation.
Nobody likes a snitch. And Hanson probably deserved to get his jaw rocked.
I hope it is a blessing in disguise and frees Cable to run his show with autonomy. Al’s track record says otherwise and there is no reason to think this incident will change that tho.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:44 pm
Thec07, I can’t post it keeps wiping it out.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:46 pm
DHB and Murphy will play well. But when DMC and Bush get going it’s over.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:48 pm
BHP, keep pressinh F5, and enter, it will eventually post.
Ron and Jerry get the servers fixed……
August 21st, 2009 at 10:49 pm
The Hanson incident occurred during a seance when Cable became possessed by the spirit of Woody Hayes.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:51 pm
I think DHB and Murphy could struggle this week. I think Clements will get the better of Murphy, and Bly will have S help on DHB all game long. I don’t expect to see these two do much.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:53 pm
I don’t expect to see much from DHB, they will scheme to him. Murphy, maybe. Doubt it. Walker would be nice.. Walker is the one we need to come around til Chaz is 100%
August 21st, 2009 at 10:53 pm
Hopefully Walker can go next week.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:54 pm
I like the idea that JRUSS has to build a rapport with the other wide outs. He needs to spread the ball around anyway… The TE meyers was a good pickup, 9ers did good on stopping the pass in the first scrim, wonder how they fair at trying to do both….
I predict 24-9 Raiders too much DMAC and BUSH. DHB cant be covered frees up the TE’s to make big plays.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:58 pm
I think it’s more of people being open, than JR spreading it around. DHB was doubled last week and they played Chaz straight up. It was the right call to go to Chaz. This week? I see the matchups dictating Miller, JLH, and the RBs getting most of the completions. JRuss better not try and force it to the WRs like he did in practice the other day. Get it to the open guy.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:00 pm
I see it diffrently. Murphy has tthe swagger and confidence to fill in for chaz. I fully expect him to contribute earrly and often. DHB i expect some big catches out of him. DHB finds the soft spot between burning bly and the safety. HEr is where JRUSS will need to step up his game.
If we are in 2 TE sets the D will need to account for DMAC, ZMILL, and Myers all of who can catch the rock.
DMAC 1 on 1 with a LB DMAC win 100 of the time…
August 21st, 2009 at 11:03 pm
This game isnt going to be anything like the practice. I just hope the circus off the field does not become to much of a distraction for the team…..
August 21st, 2009 at 11:05 pm
Jhill – 9
Little Rack o sheet – still 0
August 21st, 2009 at 11:08 pm
The fan in me wants to believe that Murphy can beat Clememts the same way Chaz beat up on the Dallas CB last week. But the realistic side of me tells me that Clements is better than the guy Chaz faced last week, and Murphy is not as good as Chaz. Murphy probably won’t get shut out, but if he comes out looking like Chaz did that would be a surprise to say the least. A pleasant one, but still a surprise.
I do agree that we should see a lot of zone defense though. So maybe you are right. We’ll see if the rookies can find the open spaces.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:10 pm
What you’re talking about, 4neva, is you had no witnesses to you peeking in windows of the boy’s locker room.
Not the same thing.
Notice how this pussy only says this sh!t AFTER I sign out.rack-o-shit you are a pussy 4 saying things that are lies and only when you think people arnt around.You still sucking your mama’s tits pussy-boy
August 21st, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Jhill,
The Boys didn’t have their 2 starters at CB against us.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Cable only talking about Raiders-49ers
Okay…and so should you Jerry!
Enough about Cable…out of respect to your readers, the players, the other coaches. We just want to hear about football…
I’ve seen comments about filtering this blog…we need to filter these sports “jounalists”…I am trying to get FOOTBALL information here and I have to constantly filter thru the tabloid B.S.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:16 pm
4eva,
It’s really late bro!! Especially for somene whos been up since around 6am.
Don’t you need to sleep?!
August 21st, 2009 at 11:18 pm
Priest, how much business do the Raiders bring Napa? Practices are closed to the public. Aside from retarded fans trying to catch a peek through a fence or whatever, I don’t see Napa getting a ton of business due to the Raiders being in town. I live in Sacramento, know Raider fans of all economic classes, and I’ve never heard anyone say that they’re going to Napa because the Raiders are there. I think your belief that the Napa PD will bury this under a rug to keep the Raiders’ training camp in town is delusional at best.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:18 pm
These guy’s are oblivious to this crap because camp is just too involved now if this is stiill hot nheavy as we get into the season, yeah. Because of the down time on Tuesday’s. The questions will start to wear on them. But right now they are way too focused on getting better and making this team.
DHB is just too good of an athlete and so is Murphy. Their size and speed presents prblems for any DB. What yu guy’s are thinking about was a redzone situation. Between the 20’s is very different. DHB will run right by these guy’s and so will Murphy. They could get away with some of the physical stuff when they know the endzone is 20 yards away. But at the 40 is a very different story.
Let Bly come up and bump DHB at the his own 30 and miss it will be 6 points in a hurry. Trust me that stuff that took place in practice was situational. This is a game. And we’ll see how much they’re wolfing after they get beat deep.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:19 pm
If it’s $5 Hanson aint worth it.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:22 pm
I know that O …
August 21st, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Clements and Bly are probably 5′ 10′ each and Murphy and DHB are both 6′2″ with 40 inch verticles in open field it’s very different than redzone. So we’ll see…….
August 21st, 2009 at 11:24 pm
Raider O just thought I’d check in B4 bed.Then I see rack-o-shit regurgitating the sperm he swallowed earlier.If I can make the game Nov.15th vs. the squaws how much you wanna bet rack-o-shit comes up mia lol
August 21st, 2009 at 11:27 pm
BHP,
Do you think he punched him?
I think something is not right with this:
- it happened on the 5th, but now it’s important!!
- now he wants to report it, and why not before?
August 21st, 2009 at 11:28 pm
I would imagine the raiders or any other training camp would bring considerable revnue to a city:
Lets say the raiders team, and staff equal 130 people.
1. Hotel accomodations
2. Rental Cars
3. Food
4. Entertainment
5. Taxes
6. Gas
7. Rental fees for practice location
8. Security detail for players and personnel
August 21st, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Talk as much as you like about Bly, but Clements can play. He’s from THE OSU!!!
August 21st, 2009 at 11:30 pm

August 21st, 2009 at 11:38 pm
I’ve seen Clements get beat but he rarely makes mistakes you have to attack him. Bly in open field trying to cover DHB is MEAT. He’s too short and gambles way too much. Russell will vicimize him.
Raider O, I’m not sure something happened but if I know Hanson he definitely pushed until it was something someone was going to do to him. He just never quits so if not Cable someone else. But Hanson attacked Marshall IMO and Cable went after him. My personal opinion, but that’s how I see it.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Clements is a good NFL CB. If DHB plays well, it will be due to his skills and not lack of talent from Clements. IMHO
August 21st, 2009 at 11:45 pm
From what cable is saying we will see the same type of gaming/scheing as the dall-ass game, with starters playing the first half. Barring penalties i expect our O to dom the 9er D, all freakin day…….
August 21st, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Their Offense is sorry, and they can only run the ball. They have a few descent players on Defense.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:57 pm
If you saw the Denver game the only reason that Denver didn’t put up some points is the QB kept giving the ball away. Huge holes on run plays and guy’srunning open but the QB was terrible. The niner offense was pedestrian at best. So we’ll see
Raider O, Clements is a very good corner if you let him get into your body but once you gain separation he panics.He plays the out very well and slants but he can be had you just have to attack him and make him make plays. Any corner can be beat if you attack them. Some just worst than others even Nnamdi will give up catches but it’s hard to score on him. Thes guy’s face Nnamdi and CJ everyday. It was just the first time they saw these guy’s and they won………on that day, Sat. could be very different. So we’ll see..
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:03 am
The only offense that concerns me is NO because they shredded or pass defense last year and I mean shredded it. So i really want to see that game. This game is interesting because of obvious reasons. But other than that we passed a tough test in Dallas now I want to see NO.
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:04 am

How many fumbles for miss smith , Rankin will dominate the scrubs again give da man a chance. Dmac,Bush,Rankin
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:27 am
Like I said the passing game will be interesting to watch. They did very well vs Dallas and that same defense just neutralized Tenn all game; but they had no answers for the Raider’s O last week. That’s a good sign. But we’ll have to see how this offense performs ex-Schilens.
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:29 am
Dude Rankin really isn’t better than Fargars. I thought this was already settled?
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:30 am
NMF…Are you still gonna change your name when Dmac starts???
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:39 am
Only if I don’t see fargas at all in reg season game everytime he use his 15 in vertical to jump straight into the pile my body shivers.
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:43 am
Another interesting tidbit about the Dallas vs Tenn game was that Tenn couldn’t stop Dallas. Dallas simply dink-n-dunked up the field all day for scores (torture to watch). They simply couldn’t get Dallas off the field.
I found it interesting because Tenn appears to have a better Dline and maybe better LB corp than the Raiders – yet they couldn’t get Dallas off the field (maybe their weakness was in the DBs).
But I will say that I didn’t see many long runs being made against them though (can’t remember any really). Seems like the Raiders are always giving up some big runs – which clearly shows thats something is going eerie in the front 7.
August 22nd, 2009 at 6:17 am
Looks like Marcel Reece will make the squad. Luke Lawton isn’t even listed on the depth chart. His blocking stink either way. It was horrible.
Anyone knows what exactly happened to LoNeal? On IR.
August 22nd, 2009 at 6:25 am
nope
August 22nd, 2009 at 6:28 am
Good Morning Nation!
If you want to see the game, scroll all the way down the listings @:
http://www.channelsurfing.net/
They have more sports listings than ATDHE.Net
August 22nd, 2009 at 6:29 am
I think they’re going to open up on office with this starting lineup Monday night (barring injury):
QB – Russell
RB – DMC
TE – ZMiller
WR – DHB
WR – Walker
Oline self explanatory. If Walker is true to form and there are no further injuries to the WR corp I don’t expect them to rush Schilens back.
Question really is how much will you see MBush? Will he jump ahead of Fargas on the depth chart come opening day? Will he be on the field a lot with DMC split out wide? We won’t know these answers ’till the season starts.
Barnes returning will be an interesting case. Cable should just tell him straight up that he’s not going to beat out Mario and so start taking RT reps.
August 22nd, 2009 at 6:35 am
The Turd may just get the boot. I think they’re getting fed up with his underproduction. Why he can’t comprehend the meaning of the words “leverage” and “stay low” is beyond me. Seems like a simple concept.
Cable says they simply overlooked him on the depth chart but funny thing is …they’re STILL overlooking him on the depth chart 2 weeks later.
I’ll feel much better if JRich were listed as starting RDE. Just saying.

NATION, What is UP??????
If walker is up to par, meaning he is back to his form of 2004 i would reluctantly give him the nod. However, with murphy i am not so sure i dont start him. He is going to really shine today IMHO…… Hr looked great last week, and has the confidence to step up. Question how is it JLH is not starting. Weve got a good one in murphy i expect him to come up big. Not cocerned about starting rooks, if they can play, and make plays you have to play the ala eddie royal, denver donkeys..

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is what i am hoping to see.
I know we have beat this horse but, the key to the offense of course is the QB. Build upon what you did last week, spread to ALL the targets if possible…
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:03 am
JLH is a good WR. But in the NFL he’s a slot WR to me. Thats why DHB and Murphy are starting over him. Its just a matter of what role does he play in the offense.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:04 am
Starting over him in a preseason game. Who cares?
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:07 am
Terp, I agree with your assement of JLH. I have allways liked him, even when those on the blog wanted his head.
did cable say he was starting his “best” receivers???
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:10 am
Mornin folks!
Walker coming back to form would be the ideal scenario. I love what I am seeing from Murphy just as much as the next guy. But starting 2 rookies concerns me a little bit. It seems like DHB is locked in. You could make an argument for starting Murphy over DHB, but do you really want to see 2 rookies against Cromartie and Jammer?
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:15 am
JLH is going to get PLENTY of opportunities. Most of those chances are going to come out of the 3WR set. It is what it is. He’ll get his chances in the 2 WR sets when DHB needs a break.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:15 am
Morning Raider Men!
Jhill that was Friday Night’s lights out. You were fun to read.
I was very sad to see the beat down of Ricky.
I’m going to the game, I’m surrounded by many Ricky’s, wish me luck.

I am for putting the best available players out there.
If bey is a “lock”, and walker can beat out murphy then to me it makes no diff, rook or not. PLAY your best players.
I hope waker comes in up to par, and exceeds expectations, but right now he is a bigger question mark than murphy…..

and while i was doing that i was thinking about this cable thing…
it’s going to be a big boost…

it’s going to start in the black hole…
and it’s going to sweep around the stadium…
and it’s going to pump up the players…
and the crowd…
the new Raider war cry…
BOOMAYE !!! BOOMAYE !!! BOOMAYE !!!
yeah, baby, now that’s raiderin’…

LOL @ Pete. What a tool you are.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:19 am
Lets say walker does not come back to form, and cannot beat out murphy, we will be looking at starting 2 rooks against cro, an jammer. jammer is decent cro is not half as good too much of a gambler no dicipline.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:20 am
JLH will start vs SD.
Vegas is done.
The Raiders will again be at the bottom of the league in passing and towards the top in rushing. Nothing has changed.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:23 am
I’m all for playing your best players. Totally agree with that.
The only question surrounding Walker is his health. If he’s healthy and as fast and spry as the haters are saying he is, then I start him. His skills were never in question.
With that said, aside from him having zero experience, I have no problem going to war with Murphy. I already like him over your boy JLH.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:26 am
If for no other reason that they will actually throw the ball this season, they will not be in the bottom of the league in passing. The stat that will be way higher this year is pass attempts.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:26 am
Good luck at the game Dell!

Quote from article:
Absolutely,” Cable said after a single and very light practice Thursday in Napa. “If they’re the best two guys, that’s who’s got to play.”
JLH wasnt in the conversation…..
Also of note DMAC will be the starter opening night….
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:30 am
Already like Murphy better than JLH based on………
Vegas is done. Hasnt played a role in what, 3 years now? Hes a wack job and shouldnt even be on the team.
At the end of 2009 season the Raiders will reside in the bottom of the NFL passing rankings. Period.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:31 am
“If” they are the two best. Still 3 weeks till it matters.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:33 am
I’ve never all these reporters be so excited about what they are seeing in Walker since he became a Raider. Everyone is skeptical (I’m very). But simply based on the reporting coming out of Napa he probably is back to some significant level of his former self.
We’ll see over the next 2 weeks.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:34 am
Dell, have a great time at the game….
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:37 am

August 22nd, 2009 at 8:46 am
Ok Ron …
And I think he hasn’t played that “role” you are talking about b/c of injury, right?
Wack job? B/C he got robbed and beaten in Vegas? Or was it b/c he was drunk in Vegas. You do realize that was on the anniversary of his boy Darrent Williams dying in his arms, right? Forget that he’s been a hard working veteran example in camp this year.
Again, simply saying that if he is as healthy, fast, cutting, running, jumping, and all that, then he will start over Murphy. He’s the veteran, with unquestioned WR skills.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:52 am
I saw the interview with the WR’s and the truly look up to walker. The listen and take heed to his advice on the field, he has been mentoring the WR’s. So that speaks volumes to me, as our young WR’s do need guidance, it is refreshing to seee him provide.
Walker performing is cream, as my expectations were really low coming in… That said i hope he performs.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:55 am
Nice stadium Jerry Jones, didn’t even have anybody think about punts hitting the scoreboard. Lechler is going to make a mockery of it on Thanksgiving day with the whole country watching, nailing punts off the scoreboard.
What kind of a moron spends over a billion dollars on a stadium and let’s something as obvious as that go unnoticed.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:56 am
The National Football Post story cited unidentified sources who gave a detailed account of what seemed to be Hanson’s side of the story. The sources said Cable knocked Hanson out of his chair and into a cabinet, choked him on the ground and threatened twice to kill him before other coaches broke it up.
—————————————————–
Have you guys noticed that even Hanson side of the story doesn’t say Cable hit him in the jaw. Even his side refers to him hitting a cabinet. The guy broke his jaw falling into a cabinet on his own. He tripped over his untied shoe.
And this additional choked him out story is laughable. I think that would’ve been noted in the medical report.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:57 am
Name a guy who has been hurt for 3 consecutive years and hasnt played any significant time for 3 years that has came back to play. Ever in the league.
He is an unquestioned wack job. Dont bother defending him cause you just make yourself look silly.
Hes not 100% or he would be playn today and actually practicing. Vegas is done, give it up.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:59 am
Yeah, Lechler is going to have to fun with that. I think he will be ok though since he can kick to the sidelines pretty well.

there’s choking…
and then there is a sincere attempt to keep a man’s head from falling off…
can this jury possibly know which of these things were on Mr. Cable’s mind ???
can anyone on God’s green earth possibly presume that Mr. Cable, universally known for his compassion and kindness…
especially toward those of us without talent…
i would like to mention Kwame Harris as an example of his kindness to the physically handicapped and the mentally challenged…
would, or even could, possibly act in a manner that could harm poor Mr. Hanson???
the defense rests…

262. I think “RAIDER BOOMAYE” has a chance at beating out the KC tomahawk chant…which is pretty gay if you ask me. Imagine everyone in the bullring amid the glow of the Monday night lights, Bush busting through the hole plastering Merriman on a 40 yard rumble into the Black hole…Raiders Boomaye!
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:20 am
Murphy is going to score twice today!
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:22 am
Javon Walker will have over 1500 yrds receiving this year and make the pro-bowl.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:28 am
Game Day!
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:29 am

August 22nd, 2009 at 9:29 am
Start Garcia.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:32 am
i think i can safely speak for all elderly people when i say…
none of us should be a starting QB in the nfl…
and that includes garcia…
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:32 am
“Start Garcia.”
“Must be cocktail hour…ehh!”
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:34 am
yo 4eVA you in here???
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:34 am

no more nfl games…

August 22nd, 2009 at 9:38 am

August 22nd, 2009 at 9:38 am
Russell will be part of the last cuts,..and NO TEAM will claim him, not even for practice aquad.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:39 am
chefs D looked pretty good last night
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:39 am
I thought you said you saw him at the game last week, and he wasn’t fat?
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:42 am
testing..
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:42 am
Start Gacia, and play Garcia 3 quarters next week. Phase out russell…was a terrible pick, cut your losses now, dont waste another year.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:43 am
26 wonderlic score, Hackett saying how well he knows he playbook, scenarios, and audibles. Stupid?
I thought it was his accuracy and laid back demeanor?
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:45 am
Stupid yes,..Al was stupid for drafting him, and more stupid for playing him. The smart move is to cut him. We all know that.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:45 am
After watching Russell tonight embarrass himself on the field, you all will finally agree with me.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:46 am
Tonight will be laughable,..you think he looked terrible in practice?…watch how he looks tonight,..he will look like a guy thats never played football. Then will be cut.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:47 am
Let Garcia play all year and groom Frye.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:48 am
As soon as Russell starts emabarrassing the Raiders on the field, I will be right there with you to sit his arse down. Thing is, it hasn’t happened yet. Let talk about the players who are in fact embarrassing themselves, and who’s going to replace them.
Carlisle
Trevor Scott
Kirk Morrison
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:50 am
so whats up with the pre game fix???
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:50 am
Well as you all know I go to every game, maybe from your couches Russell looks ok,..but in person, hes just plain awful.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:53 am
I see Russell on the sidelines, when losing big, all happy, laughing,…not looking mad like he should,…the fact is Russell isnt bothered by losing,…Gannon when beind would be storming the sidelines yelling at players to get their asses together and stop screwing around,..Russell sucks.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:54 am
Its not even 10 yet…..
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:57 am
Lol at your signature I go to the game take. When all else fails, well at least you do go to every game.
I’ll admit that I wish I could go to every game. You do have me on that one.
But I think that I have a better view of Russell with replay, slow motion, and all that other stuff at home, with the remote, the day after the game.
Like right now, we can replay the game, and you can point out where you think he made a stupid decision, looks fat, or displays no QB talent. Is there a particular play you recall from being at the game that I should look at?
How did Carlisle look in person during those penalties?
Did it look as bad in person as it did on TV when Scott was getting pancaked by Witten?
How about Morrison getting bounced around? How’d that look up close?

August 21st, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Clements and Bly are probably 5′ 10′ each and Murphy and DHB are both 6′2″ with 40 inch verticles in open field it’s very different than redzone. So we’ll see…….
———————————————-
Here goes Priest again with his ridiculous logic again….
Priest let me ask you a question….
Do you think Nate Clements was handed, at the time, the richest contract for a defensive player in the history of the sport because he couldn’t cover 6′2 receivers with 40+ verticals?
NEWS FLASH FOR PREIST TJ!!
THERE HAVE BEEN RECEIVERS FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS IN THE NFL THAT WERE 6′2 AND HAD 40+ VERTICALS THAT CLEMENTS AND BLY HAVE COVERED DAY IN AND DAY OUT….
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:59 am
jhill, until you go to every game like I do, your opinion really doesnt matter,..sorry…what you dont see on tv is what tells the story,..and by the way we get replays on both jumbo trons., not to mention tv`s everywhere.

August 22nd, 2009 at 10:02 am
I wouldn’t have been that harsh Teabag, but I agree with your take.
It’s going to be interesting to see what type of defense SF plays against us. Will they play man or zone? If they play zone, the young guys have a better chance.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:03 am
jhill,
I had Norco Bob’s view for 10 yrs in L.A. and the first 3 in Oakland. I enjoyed the comraderie and electicity of being there live but for a view and evaluation of plays, unless you are in a suite with a T.V., you can definately evaluate the players and plays better from the comfort of my sofa. lol
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:04 am
exla, you and I both know you are wrong, but thats ok, anyone whos ever lived in L.A. for any period of time is stupid.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:06 am
I’m looking forward to seeing Jamarcus’ mo-hawk.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:07 am
For you to be at every game, it should be pretty easy for you to communicate what the problem is. Not as fiery as Gannon? Is that why we should cut him?
Ignore the production on the field? Really?
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:08 am
Oh hey you will tonight,..he will be the guy on the sidelines smiling, laughing, after leaving game down by a couple td`s.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:08 am
Didn’t get personal with you, just stated the facts. Plus the cost of my adult beveragers are a lot less than in the stadium. LMAO
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:09 am
And I don’t have to worry about you spilling them on me.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:10 am
I never buy alcohol in any stadium.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:10 am
I agree Ex,
I’ve been to my share of NFL, College, MLB, and NBA games. I envy Bob for being able to go to all the games. But for the view and player analysis? I probably miss 1/3 of the game for various reasons when I’m there.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:11 am
Thats for suckers…(L.A. people)
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:12 am
Im not sure who would envy me or any fan for viewing raider games in person,..but we pretty much only go nowadays to tailgate.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:13 am
The entire day is great,..but the time from like 1:00 to 4:00 is really a drag, the worst part of the day.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:14 am
I lived in SoCal just as you did with a moniker like Norco. Isn’t that near Riverside as I recall. Fellow SUCKER!
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:15 am
I havn’t lived there for 14 yrs Sucker Norco Bob.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:16 am
Is there a city called Norco?…lol…Iv never heard of it…you must be new to think that means a city to me.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:17 am
Ask your friends in here why Im Norco Bob,..dang exla you are stupid.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:18 am
I mooched off my uncles extra-season ticket from 99-03 and there is nothing like being at the game…..for a win.
If I’m going to watch a game like the Falcons or Broncos games last year, I would much rather be on my couch.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:19 am
Of course, there is a jail at Norco.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:20 am
Just messin with you NB. Go pop a couple more pills. LOL
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:20 am
Well if theres a crap town down there called norco Im sure youve been there,..but I never got to so-cal, for anything…and never have heard of some ghetto town called norco,..(all of so-cal is a ghetto.)
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:21 am
Well I must leave all you “fans”,..anjoy the game tonight on your sofas,..I will be at the stick,…watching in person russell looking awful,..but Garcia will save the day!!!
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:22 am
You leaving for Mexico tomorrow Norco Bob. I hear they decriminalized drugs for personal use. lol
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:25 am
Garcia is going to pull his calf muscle.
He might be the one cut Bob, and it would take him a few weeks to re-locate I bet. If this guy is so good, how did he end up here? Surely he would like to be in a better place to make one last run at a ring. You telling me Al Davis was the only smart GM to land this guy, or Garcia choose the Raiders amongst his many suitors. Get real.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:25 am
And yes, I was harsh with Priest.
I have a pet peeve for the blind optimists.
I wish for the best from the Raider team as well. But I am not going to subscribe to any train of thought that even remotely suggests that DHB and Louis Murphy are going to come in an have their way with a veteran and extremely proven cb duo of Clements/Bly.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:31 am
I will go on record DHB, and Murphy will have good games…..
A lot of this will depend on No. 2…….
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:34 am
Cable said these are the best to WR’s baring the injuries to walker and Chaz…..
Cable riding with them weather they be rooks or not…
This will be 3 teams in 3 years for bly, why is that?
He got jettisone from the donkeys last year. I am
not buying his ability, JRUSS shows up, its lights out.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:38 am
I’m not sippin’ any of that Kool Aid… Clements and Bly jumped routes all day because Russell still hasn’t learned to look off and sell the fake. I expect more of the same.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:38 am
Do any of you criminal types know how I can view today’s game on the web? I’m up in Washington and would love to see it. Seems like last season someone posted a back-channel, nefarious, black box way to watch a game.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:42 am
I am not sure you can gage situational drills to game time. From what i understand in the situational drills their was no threat of running just passing.
If in fact the rooks dont play up to my kool-aid sippin expectations i will come back on the blog and admit my opinions were wrong. But thats the great thing with opinions thats all they are, as i do not make my living with the Raiders org…..
