Curtain draws on Napa camp
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, August 27th, 2009 at 1:32 pm in Oakland Raiders.
News and notes from the Raiders last training camp practice in Napa:
– Training camp 2009 ended with Todd Watkins making a sprawling catch in the end zone to culiminate a successful two-minute drill by the second team offense.
It was third-and-9, Jeff Garcia had driven the offense to the 26-yard line and 17.8 seconds remained.
Defensive coordinator John Marshall yelled, “No TDs!”
Sorry, John.
For the most part, however, coach Tom Cable thinks he and his staff got what they wanted out of 33 practice sessions behind the Napa Marriott.
“We hd a goal coming up here, and that was to leave here a better team, closer, and I think we’ve accompished that,” Cable said.
– Practice was in shorts and shells and wasn’t as grueling as Wednesday’s two and a half-hour marathon, but it was once again a very good practice for the Raiders passing game.
The JaMarcus Russell over the last two days bears no resemblence to the Russell who left footballs strewn all over the field during OTAs and minicamps, or even the Russell of last week who kept finding Nate Clements instead of his own teammates.
There was Russell hitting lobbing a completion to Michael Bush against Napoleon Harris, Russell finding Louis Murphy wide open over the middle, or throwing a dart into the corner of the end zone to Darrius Heyward-Bey against Justin Miller.
In red zone team drills and seven-on-sevens, it looked the way a passing offense is supposed to look against scout team defenders _ lots of touchdowns and completions.
“You have guys that are attacking the ball and making the catch look easy,” Russell said. “We’re getting there. It’s a process and we’re going through it together. It’s not like it’s one person’s job. Everybody’s job has to be done in order to get there. We’re on our way.”
– In the drive before Garcia led the Raiders to a touchdown in a two-minute drill to end camp, Russell came up short in his only crack at the first team defense.
The situation? Raiders at teh 20-yard line, and the scoreboard reads 10-7 with 1:32 to play.
Russell immediately connected with Zach Miller on a beatufil downfield seam route for 30 yards to the 50.
He then missed Miller, was incomplete on a deep pass to Johnnie Lee Higgins and then scrambled for five yards on third-and-10.
An illegal motion penalty on Higgins pushed the ball back five yards, and Huff’s final pass was incomplete, “Ball game,” shouted free safety Michael Huff.
– The first team defense, predictably, did much better against the scout team offense, with Nnamdi Asomugha and Tyvon Branch both getting interceptions.
– Those who did not practice included Chaz Schilens (foot), Khalif Barnes (ankle), John Wade (stinger), Justin Fargas (hamstring), Matt Shaughnessy (foot), Isaiah Ekejiuba (shoulder), Kirk Morrison (elbow) and Mike Mitchell (hamstring). The new addition was rookie linebacker Slade Norris (calf).
Cable assessed Mitchell’s progress this way: “It is getting better, but it has been slow to get there this time.”
So slow that Mitchell has never even been seen off to the side, working with a trainer in agility drills. It’s essentially been a complete shutdown.
– Wide receiver Javon Walker, who seemed to ease into his first session, got in some good work during his second practice, looking better that at any time during training camp a year ago, when he was called out by Lane Kiffin and talked of retiring and giving his bonus back.
“He’s a little rough with some of his assignments, but that’s normal,” Cable said. “He hasn’t had a lot of work, but he’s able to clear that because he’s had so much experience. He’s a really bright guy, and the net time you see him do it, he’s fixed the mistake from the time before. We’ll expect him to go after it Saturday.”
– Russell will play most if not all of the first half Saturday against New Orleans, with Garcia playing most of the second half. Cable said some starters could go into the third quarter.
– Cable continues to be coy as to his plans for the three-headed monster at running back. Will he try split the pie three ways, or will he go heavier with two backs, keeping a third in reserve in case of injury.
Cable noted improvement in Fargas’ receiving skills.
Michael Bush will get the start against New Orleans.
– If the Raiders were interested in Duke Preston, who they had at the facility for a visit in the offseason, the Dallas Cowboys beat them to the punch.
Wade, the backup center, has missed considerable time with a stringer.
– Former Raiders John Parrella, with ex-Raiders Rod Woodson and Josh Taves on his staff, will be head coach for the first varsity football game in the history of Valley Christian High School in Dublin.
– Interested to hear “professional liar” Chris Mortensen of ESPN tell Murph and Mac on KNBR this morning the Raiders were the second best team in the AFC West and could be a surprise team this year.
Is he to be believed?
– While Asomugha was being interviewed, Barnes walked past and had a request.
“Buy me a car, Nam,” Barnes said to the $45.3 million man. “An s500.”
If Barnes had stuck around, he could have at least had a No. 21 jersey. The cornerback had a handful of them and passed them out to some fans who were invited guests on the last day of camp.
Coming later today: Camp highlights and disappointments.

Why didn’t Cable end it with another patty-cake session or two?
August 27th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Bitchochet you outta read a book by Dan Moldea. It’s all about how organized crime and how it connects to pro football. I dont know how you arent aware of this. It was simple Al Davis knows the region and was at the time seen a genius to the football world. Eddie D was always known to have mob ties and that helped him get his other sports teams. In the early 70s didnt Debartilo own the Penguins? Al back then knew how to pick a solid winner and Eddie D was perfect because he will go that extra mile to get success. You think the NFL heads didnt go to Al to find a suitable person for that operation since SF was a failing mission? Be serious. and you phuckin idiot Al Davis suggested Joe Thomas
As for Bill Walsh, he didnt come until 1979 after coaching at Standford for two seasons you knucklehead! They fired 3 coaches in between the time Eddie D bought the team and the hiring of Bill Walsh. Learn your facts man!!!
Eddie D heard about Paul Brown’s comments huh? You’re an idiot Al again put Eddie D on notice on who to hire after the 49ers needed a new coach. You know owners talk amongst each other all the time and pro sports is a buddy system. Be serious. Also Walsh said Al taught him everything he knew

Raider Dell Says:
August 27th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
The whiners had the chance to draft Alex Smith or Aaron Rodgers, in that draft.
That has to be up there with San Diego taking Leaf over Manning, that’s a franchise that wishes it could go back and remake that decision.
The whiners are still claiming Smith’s carreer can be salvaged, sounds like a used washing machine, all noise no action.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Hey, Raider Dell just brought up Aaron Rodgers on the last thread…
…weren’t there rumors that GB would have traded him to us for a second round pick prior to the 2007 draft? Then we could have selected CJ #1 and had Rodgers as our QB…man, that would have been cool.
No offense Russell…
August 27th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Aarron Rodgers is my boy from Butte College. Really, really freaking smart kid, he had college calculus credits when he was 16 years old.
Go fighting roadrunners!!!!!
August 27th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
This 49er bastard is talking nonsense and telling lies. He brings zero facts to the table.
He admits to Al getting a fee paid to him but it was by the Morabitos but not the NFL owners. Come on use your brain! You really think a new owner will come into the area and Al doesn’t have his hand deeply in the process? Those guys on some level have to be able to co-exist since combining both places together the Bay AREA is the 4th largest market. Al is just gonna let any old asshole come in and not get his approval? Al was the winning product during those years and success means your words are paid attention to.
Al Davis knew joe Thomas for many years. Al was the fuking commisioner of the AFL and Joe Thomas worked for an AFL team…….the Miami Dolphins. How did Eddie D know Thomas? I’m interested to know this one Bitchochet.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
heck then we could have drafted Raji this year.. .maybe even C wood would come back dang lets just all run out and buy a green and gold jersy!!!! LOL
Wait…..that would make a nice looking roster….mmmm
August 27th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
Actually tried to trade for him and Shaub. We offered a 2nd to both GB and Atl. Texas came in higher with two 2nd rd picks, and GB flat out said no to trading Rogers.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:53 pm

You know how rumors start, let’s lok at the story.
Chris Mortensen was talking to his source, a reliable one at that, when he read Jerry’s blog and noticed better information that pointed to the fans interest in Rodgers, which then became his Raider source, got it so far.
Once Mort, verified the story (with LMN) he went on national TV with the scoop.
At that time, LMN was a rspected new comer to the blog and hadn’t shown his dislike for America yet. Eventually the story was carried by the GreenBay press and became a bigger story due to his habit of getting injured all the time.
The story finally became a non story, when John Herrera yelled at the press, who ever continues that false rumor would get punched out.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Looks like Al made it to a town hall meeting recently, Pelosi called on him:

tough call. depends on who is on the board when you’re up
I like QB’s Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner, Aaron Rodgers & Donovan McNabb
Jay Cutler, David Garrard, Tony Romo, Matt Ryan & Big Ben would be solid as well …
I like RB’s Adrian Peterson, Michael Turner, DeAngelo Williams, Clinton Portis & Thomas Jones
Steve Slaton, Matt Forte, Chris Johnson, Ryan Grant & Frank Gore would be solid as well …

I have two FFL drafts back to back. I quess the draft order is what will determine my decision.
DMAC was left off your list, according to other sites who have had drafts up to this point, DMAC is in the top two rounds.
I just don’t know if he will get enough touches.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:27 pm

August 27th, 2009 at 2:30 pm

I have reservations about DMC’s fantasy value until I see Cable go out of his way to get the ball in #20’s hands …
right now he’s not even a guy Defensive Coordinators have to gameplan for/against!
August 27th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
LOL that depends on where I’m too drunk and pass out at? Could be El Cerrito Del Norte, MacArthur, San Leandro, Bayfair or Hayward. It just depends on how my Friday is

In the early 70s didnt Debartilo own the Penguins? Al back then knew how to pick a solid winner and Eddie D was perfect because he will go that extra mile to get success.
Richochet: Again, you’re an idiot. Now you’re saying AL DAVIS “picked” the Debartelo’s because of their mob ties? MORON. Al didn’t PICK ANYONE, fool.
And “Al knows the region’? THE 49ERS WERE ESTABLISHED BEFORE THE RAIDERS WERE..geez…you don’t have a clue, do you?
==============================
Brien the Girl Scout: You have trouble reading? I’m serious. You think the NFL heads didnt go to Al to find a suitable person for that operation since SF was a failing mission? Be serious.
Richochet: Take your head out of your rear, fool. Niners WON THE DIVISION in 1970. Won it in ’71. Won it in ’72. The reason it was on the block is because the widows were OLD, and wanted to sell, MORON.
The WIDOWS asked Al if he knew anyone..HE DIDN”T. All Al did was lobby to get the one person who had made an offer, VALLEY, out of the picture. That’s how they knew Al because of his whining about a guy he hated possibly taking over the 49ers. You couldn’t be any dumber if you took a class.
==================================
Brien the Girl Scout: and you phuckin idiot Al Davis suggested Joe Thomas
Richochet: LMAO..you are so desperate, and stupid to boot. Pay attention, for ANOTHER SCHOOLING, LITTLE BOY..Joe Thomas LIVED near the Debartelo’s in Ohio. He not only KNEW THEM, but, according to Debartelo himself “Joe Thomas is a FAMILY FRIEND”.
Now how stupid are you to suggest it was Al that suggested Joe Thomas? Besides, suggested Thomas FOR WHAT? Thomas had just gotten canned as GM by the Colts, and then approached the Debartelo’s. Again, FAMILY FRIEND, fool. Hired as GM BEFORE he even went out to California to discuss the 49ers. AFTER HE AND DEBARTELO CAME TO CA. HE CONTACTED THE WIDOWS AND AL DAVIS to discuss details.
=====================================
Brien the Girl Scout: As for Bill Walsh, he didnt come until 1979 after coaching at Standford for two seasons you knucklehead! They fired 3 coaches in between the time Eddie D bought the team and the hiring of Bill Walsh. Learn your facts man!!!
Richochet: Damn, you’re an nitwit. Yeah, fool, I stated HE WAS COACHING AT STANFORD. Because HE WAS. Debartelo’s bought the Niners in Jan 1977, Joe Thomas had three coaches in two years before Eddie Jr. went after Walsh, who insisted Joe Thomas be gone before he took over. Eddie fired Thomas, hired Walsh, and a dynasty was born, lol..and the Niner then owned the Bay..and have ever since.
And now? I own YOUR ass.
=========================
Brien the Girl Scout: Eddie D heard about Paul Brown’s comments huh? You’re an idiot Al again put Eddie D on notice on who to hire after the 49ers needed a new coach. You know owners talk amongst each other all the time and pro sports is a buddy system. Be serious. Also Walsh said Al taught him everything he knew.
Richochet: Do you read? Go read, moron. See, that’s how I learn things. You? You “assume”..just like the “OMG..he’s MAFIA!!! MOMMY!! Or the above..where “owners talk among themselves”..Damn..are you honestly this naïve? Go read the “Genius-Bill Walsh.” I have.
You, fool, are tantamount to a cotton ball with your idiot “”buddy system”. No, that’s the “good ole boy” system, moron, not the “buddy system”.
Read above. Joe Thomas “FAMILY FRIEND”..LONG before..
And in ONE year? Al Davis taught a little insignificant asst EVERYTHING HE KNOWS??
First off, as BILL WALSH STATED, what he learned from Al Davis is how NOT to run an organization..HIS WORDS. What he learned was from Sid Gillman, MORON, not Al Davis, and from Paul Brown. To that he incorporated his own ideas.
Brien the Girl Scout: Sidenote: That bs word press thing is saving you from another whipping. Just you wait boy
Richochet: You just got torched again, fool.
Question: In real life are you as stupid as you appear on this board?

RICHOCHET: Thanks for proving you have crap for brains. The NFL NEVER seeks out an owner in an area to get “approval” you dumbass. It is VOTED ON BY ALL OF THE OWNERS.
How can YOU BE SO STUPID??
And dude, think about it. Al Davis is the most disliked owner in the league..you really think the NFL would inquire anything from that quack?
Quit making things up, little boy. You’re just embarrassing yourself.
———————————————-
Al Davis knew joe Thomas for many years. Al was the fuking commisioner of the AFL and Joe Thomas worked for an AFL team…….the Miami Dolphins. How did Eddie D know Thomas? I’m interested to know this one Bitchochet.
Richochet: LIVES NEAR THE DEBARTELO’S. 10 years PRIOR to all this Thomas and the Debartelo’s met at a college All Star game, became friends, and became better friends through the years. Once Thomas got FIRED by the Colts as GM, and knew that the Niners were on the market, he, wisely, went to the Debartelo’s and brought up the idea of them buying the Niners. That’s how it came about where Eddie Sr. told Thomas they would consider it ONLY if he became GM (big mistake, because Thomas sucked as GM) where Thomas agreed, and they gave him a contract in the event they ended up buying the Niners.
====================
Again, do you feel as stupid as you look?
Just curious.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Hey Brian the Genital, checking to see if you’ve made plans with your uncle Krappy for getting to the game this Saturday.
I suggested yesterday you get to his house Fri night so you can cover his car seats in thick plastic to protect against any “mishaps” on the way to the game. You can find duct tape and lyme at your neighborhood Lowe’s.
Since you two cool dudes seem like the kind who’d paint their faces, make sure you keep Krappy from painting his with mashed potatoes from his Hungry Man. You don’t want the seagulls nibling your poor senile uncle’s nose to shreds.
And finally – have fun! I know it’s been a long tough week for you two with all the fighting. This is a time to just let it all go and enjoy being family.
And when you both crap your pants in unison at the end of the game, I hope you share a tender, special hug that knows no end.

Never said he hated Davis. You starting to lie now? lol..feeling pressure to save face?
Little embarrassing to be getting schooled like this?
Hey, I warned you. Next time, pay attention.
What I stated was Walsh stated that “The year with the Raiders was the worst year in my career in the NFL”
Also stated “I learned how NOT to run an organization”
Again, go read Bill Walsh’s book. Might learn something.

I have a question for everyone.
why is it all of the Niner games are sold out, and televised locally, and the Raiders many times aren’t?
Look at preseason.
Niners home games are telecast at the time they play.
Raider home games are time delayed unti late at night.
How is it Niner fans are so loyal, and Raider fans can’t seem to fill up the stadium every game?
You have one of the smallest stadiums in the NFL, and still you don’t have enough season ticket holders??
What’s up with that?
I mean, I read that in the last 10 years the Raiders have had MORE HOME GAMES BLACKED OUT than any other team in the NFL.
Used to be a time Raider fans were diehards, and supported the team, win or lose.
Those times are long gone.
Interesting that, even though the Niners haven’t even been to a SB in over a decade, they have continued to sell out each and every year since 1981…that’s OVER A QUARTER OF A CENTURY of sellouts, NON STOP.
Now, how is it Niner fans are so loyal, and Raider fans aren’t? How is it they have NOT HAD ONE SINGLE GAME BLACKED OUT IN 28 YEARS??
And the Raiders, on the other hand, lead the NFL in blackouts?
You guys should look to the other side of the bay to learn what real, loyal, diehard fans are.
Food for thought.

Rich, I’m amazed. You actually spent time and effort putting together a post about … fan attendance.
Then you pick on a retard like Brian the Genital and take great pride in getting over on him. Sort of like tripping a 12 year old at the Special Olympics and then taking a victory lap.
And finally you have this silly little chick addiction to cut and pasting the post you’re answering above your answer. It’s really just dumb and your post is usually just skipped over by everyone. Important information for the next time you write a passionate post about Candlestick Park concession sales or marketing strategies.

=======================================
Speaking of gluttons..are you serious, dude?
Honestly, tearing into this comment is probably the easiest thing I’ve addressed here.
First off..isn’t the following YOURS??:
===================
beeecham Says:
August 27th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Hey Brian the Genital, checking to see if you’ve made plans with your uncle Krappy for getting to the game this Saturday.
I suggested yesterday you get to his house Fri night so you can cover his car seats in thick plastic to protect against any “mishaps” on the way to the game. You can find duct tape and lyme at your neighborhood Lowe’s.
Since you two cool dudes seem like the kind who’d paint their faces, make sure you keep Krappy from painting his with mashed potatoes from his Hungry Man. You don’t want the seagulls nibling your poor senile uncle’s nose to shreds.
And finally – have fun! I know it’s been a long tough week for you two with all the fighting. This is a time to just let it all go and enjoy being family.
And when you both crap your pants in unison at the end of the game, I hope you share a tender, special hug that knows no end.
==================
=====================
Richochet: YOU comment about me taking the time to discuss attendence? lol..what the hell was that you just “took the time” to post about? Was a kiddy smack take, nothing more.
You then comment about how I picked on Brien the retard, and how I shouldn’t take any glee from the ease of picking on a child…WHEN YOU JUST DID THE EXACT SAME THING??
Uh..pot?? Meet kettle.
And you finish with a “why post a link”?? What is it with the collective lack of brain matter on this board?
You NEED that explained?
IT’S CALLED RUBBING IT IN, foolish “Brien is my toy, AND ONLY MINE” Beeech.
Of COURSE you and everyone knows the answer to who’s the biggest reach? Link is salt.
Just cut to the chase, now that I’ve exposed you.
YOU VIEW BRIEN AS YOURS, and you take umbrage at “sharing the target”.
Hell, next time put a collar on him, with a dog tag.
I’ll return him when I’m done..I promise.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
rickanuts
before you start to keep on bashin brien the niners will be a sorry team if your greatest coach bill walsh hadn’t worked for al davis as a raiders ASSISTANT. Here I’ll show you
“Walsh began his pro coaching career in 1966 as an assistant with the AFL’s Oakland Raiders. As a Raider assistant, Walsh was trained in the vertical passing offense favored by Al Davis”
i bet you gonna come up with somethin stupid just like when peoiple i was ask you good questions that keep you moded but then you come up with stupid ass remarks.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
909
Yes the guy that was in a band and played in bowling alleys.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
oh and just to add a little more richochet, i have tons of respect for bill walsh but he would’ve never, ever came up with the west coast offense if he hadn’t been went to the raiders.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
If Al Davis were retired, we could jaw all day about his NFL influences, Bill Walsh etc.
But he aint, and that long ago bullshyt is not relevant today.
The Raiders have had 6 Playoff Appearances in the last 20 years.
Been gouged on the ground the last 6 years
Gave up 275 yds on the ground in the last game.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
its time to shut your fukin idiot ass up now richochet and i bet you gonna come with a lame ass comeback.
bill walsh coaching tree:holmgren,fassel,paul hackett, sam wyche,george seifert,dennis green,andy reid, mike sherman,ray rhodes,mariucci,john fox, mike mccarthy,john gruden,mike shanahan,tony dungy,jeff fisher,mike tice,brian billick, brad childress,marty morhinweg,bill callahan,gary kubiak,jack del rio,mike smith,bruce coslet,mike mularkey,lovie smith, mike tomlin, rod marinelli, and john harbaugh.
this list would probably never had existed if bill walsh had never learned the vertical offense under Davis which he was trained in and eventually made his own similar offense the west coast. if walsh never learned from davis bill walsh legacy wouldn’t have been the same.
Now shut the fuk up richochet and let us raider fans be excited for our bright future whiler niners bites our dust.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Yep! guess all the haters were right Russell’s fat, lazy, stupid doesn’t want to be great. Problems with his ‘BRAIN’ still love that one. Doesn’t study film accuracy problems that can’t get better.
Will never be a leader, too nonchalant. All arm no head.
As I said by midseason the league will know that the Raiders have one of the most dominant young QB’s in the game.
Also it’s time I think that we can allow DHB his own book to write his own story. We haven’t played the 3rd preseason game yet and the writers are liningup to get on the bandwagon.
What was that! did you say where’s Crabtree? Oh! WHAT ABOUT CRABTREE? Ummm! what about him?
August 27th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
kool kell whatta you talkin about? that shit is relevant because al is the one that trained walsh in vertical offense and walsh learned and formed his own offense that he trained countless of other coaches which a lot of them use today. That shit is relevant dogg.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
WHAT THE HELL!?! is a Crabtree anyway?

August 27th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
The DeBartolo’s are known criminals. Some of the bust on Eddie D Jr. are legendary in the West bay area, swept under the carpet. Some of the stuff makes what Vick did look like tiddly winks. He has never done a day in jail. When they ran that campaign for the new stradium is also legendary signing up dead people.
Eddie D was lowest of scumbags.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Eddie D has 5 SB rings.
Al Davis has 3, nuff said.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
Whats your point kell?
August 27th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Is it,..some owners buy rings and others earn them?
August 27th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Eddie d was given a team, given cash to blow,…all that,..some football guy.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
and then they get kicked out of league and have to give team to little sis,..ya, eddie d is pretty impressive kell.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
kell are you aware eddie d needs league permission to attend a game at candlestick?
August 27th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
which owners in hall of fame?
August 27th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
buying 5 rings doesnt get you in canton kell, sorry.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
bil lwalsh deserves ALL THE CREDIT for niner success,..eddie d got what he deserved,…kicked out of league.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
I thought the bottom line with “you people” were Super Bowl rings.
Well, Eddie D has 5.
Al Davis has 3.
Now, if the Raiders give up more than 150 yds on the ground Saturday, this year will be like the last 6.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Kell, you are a very limited man,..you cant seem to live beyond the past 6 years,…all that matters to you is the last 6 years,…thats too bad for you bud.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
KK, take your grumpy ass over to the other side of Bay. Tired of your constant dumbass griping, everyone knows the past 6 years are horrrible we don’t need to be reminded every 5 minutes by you. Personally I’m excited about the next 6years.
And so is everybody else it seems except you. So go somewhere else where you can be happy.

TJ,..that Kell imposter is MR.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
And I don’t live in the past 6 years regarding Raider football. I will judge Al Davis by his entire body of work, and he spent the first 20 years with the Raiders doing everything right. Since then, he’s become reclusive and egotistical, and the team has paid. His enemy used to be the league and other teams, now it’s his own employees. The only glimpse of the 1963-1985 Al Davis I’ve seen in recent memory is when he hired Gruden in 1998. Other than that, he’s been an entirely different person. No longer a man who wants to win. Now just a man who wants those who question his power or expertise to lose. The past 6 years are just one part of his long career, but it’s still significant. Since we don’t have a GM and Al Davis the de facto GM, the 6 years is worthy of a conversation because no GM in professional sports would still have a job after 6 failed seasons. You can appreciate what Al Davis has done in the past, have ideas and points to make about the future, and still bring up the obvious fact that this football team is stuck with the same GM who’s failed the past 6 years, and probably won’t win until he retires.

August 27th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
You’re right, Norco. I should kill myself because I don’t go to Raider games and drink with you and Brien. There’s no better cure for depression than pissing away a couple of hundred bucks on one of the worst teams in the NFL, and drowning yourself in pills and booze. Just cheers people right up. To be honest, Bob, reading your comments, I’m convinced you’re the one who’s bordering suicide. And I’ll tell you, DON’T do it. Get help first. Because your rock bottom is coming.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:29 pm

…………
No, I think his point is that some owners buy rings, while others hire title-less, ghost GMs like Ron Wolf to get them rings, then pretend they never existed and take credit for their work. At least DeBartolo doesn’t pretend to be something he’s not in regards to running an NFL franch.

i bet you gonna come up with somethin stupid just like when peoiple i was ask you good questions that keep you moded but then you come up with stupid ass remarks.
———————————–
I ALREADY addressed this.
Can you read?
Is it the comprehension part that stifles ya?
Sid Gillman.
Ever hear of him?
Walsh has made it was Gillman and Brown that he learned about the NFL, NOT Al Davis.
Walsh was asst running back coach, for the Raiders, in 1966.
Running back, lol..not qb.
AL DAVIS BECAME PART OWNER that year.
John Rauch was the head coach of the Raiders in 66.
Al Davis had NO IDEA who Bill Walsh was, and likely never talked directly to him.
Walsh was directly under John Rauch.
And what Walsh learned from Al Davis is THE SAME THING JOHN RAUCH LEARNED..that it was the absolute worst way to run an organization.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Kell, you can figure out why Norco posts with impunity as others are flagged for yourself. I’ve been hip to that for a long time now. This posting too quickly thing….how many web hits do you think the site gets overall by having people resend their comments several times a piece? Pretty obvious what’s going on.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Yeh, Taz, you can just see Bill Walsh’s admiration for Al Davis in his coaching. His entire career he did nothing but throw that deep ball, and play man to man defense.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
People base their theories of guys like Walsh and Madden admiring Al Davis based on the fact that they’ve never come out and bashed him publicly. It’s almost like saying a woman likes you, because she never said she didn’t. I think rapists work under this premise.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Ricochet, I haven’t been around all day. Did TazRaider put Al Davis at the top of the Bill Walsh coaching tree? Is that what he’s really trying to say in that comment?
August 27th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Hey Kell:
Did it turn gay all of a sudden, up in here?
Back to Raiders stuff — who is the number 3 guy right now: Graddy-boy or Frye?
August 27th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
No, he’s saying that while Walsh is a massive genius with all of those coaches on Walsh’s tree, Walsh would have never had a tree, at all, if not for Al.
I simply informed him that asst RB coaches, under John Rauch, weren’t exactly being trained on the vertical game, at least not enough for Walsh to revolutionize the WC offense.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
And TazRaider, why are you demanding that people “let” you be excited about the upcoming season? You can be excited all you want to. We have our right to be pessimistic, too. Frankly, I find your excitement annoying. I’m the one who’s going to have to comfort you when reality hits in a few weeks.

August 27th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
He always spoke respectfully of Al, admired Al’s brains and guts. They had been friends a long time, and Walsh said Al taught him everything he knew about football. I think Paul Brown taught Walsh something, too.
This an excerpt from an article written by Lowell Cohn, and his interviews with Bill Walsh on his death bed
August 27th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Sorry Woj..but you would be wrong.
Again..ONE YEAR Walsh was with the Raiders, as a RUNNING BACK ASST.
Al had just left being commissioner and bought in the team at 10%.
John Rauch was running the team, not Al.
You look at Al’s philosphy on offense, and you look at Walsh’s..about as different as night and day.
August 27th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
I be wrong? That was what WALsh said, not me. I just copied and pasted what WALSH said. See do you actually get that point, WALSH, as in BILL WALSH, said it. Shall i repeat that louder? BILL WALSH SAID IT NOT ME. So in fact you are stating that Bill Walsh is wrong in what he said about Al Davis. hhhmmmmmm……

And one of the points that seems to escape you is that, Al and Bill were friends from the time they were with the Raiders till the day Bill died, but of course in your narrow little 40 whiner mind, that has nothing to do with AL being able to teach him everything he knows, since of course you can only teach another coach something if you coach for the same time, right? Has nothing to with being friends for 40 odd years.

Raidertbone,
Actually had some free time for once, and happened to read some of the statements this guy has made. So I thought I’d chime in. Thing is he thinks that post was my opinion, but it was actually what Bill Walsh told Cohn(a Raider Hater)on his death bed.
