O’Neill tells local paper he’ll be a Raider again
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, August 28th, 2009 at 3:47 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Chris O’Neill, the tight end who was asked by Al Davis to move inside to linebacker only to waived before camp began, could be in uniform Saturday against New Orleans.
At least that is what O’Neill, a Boise State product, told his local paper.
No word on who will be cut to make room for O’Neill on the 80-man roster.
O’Neill had a tryout with the Minnesota Vikings on Aug. 16. He concedes his future is likely on the practice squad rather than the 53-man roster.
The Raiders are without Kirk Morrison (elbow), Isaiah Ekejiuba (shoulder) and possibly rookie Slade Norris (calf) against New Orleans. O’Neill was learning to play middle linebacker, which is where both Morrison and Ekejiuba play. Ricky Brown’s backup in the middle of late has been Sam Williams.

I hope they cut sands!!!
Jerry Please have your people fix this busted site… Thanx
August 28th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
I’m surprised that Russell hasn’t been relying on Miller as much as he did last year. He should have a few options with Dmac Murphy and even Meyers.
August 28th, 2009 at 3:54 pm

We’re so thin on the D line cutting Sands would make us even thinner. But maybe it would be addition by subtraction since he has become the 300lb invisible man.

next week on the chat EVERYONE should submit a question asking Jerry if they plan on fixing this site or if it will forever be Phcked up.
August 28th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
4eva, I appreciate you standing up for ol Krappy. Behind all the senility, hostility and general hatred for all mankind, I’m sure he’s a very decent fellow.
But right now I am VERY concerned about him violating public health ordinances when his diapers burst at the game tomorrow and fellow Raider fans and his grandson Brian the Genital are enveloped in old man gravy.
How in the world can you sit there – 4eva – and not do anything to try and stop this catastrophe from happening?
If you could go back in time and kill a 12 year old Hitler before he rose to power, would sit idly by and watch those horrible events unfold as well?
August 28th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
I just dont understand this…I only do 1 thing fast anymore =)
August 28th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
Maclin is looking like trash. Sorry, but true to my eyes.
Crabtree is looking ….well …he’s not lookin at all.
DHB and Murphy are lookin good!
August 28th, 2009 at 4:05 pm

Thin air indeed. Now BMarshall is suspended for the last to preseason games (like he really gives a sht about preseason). Still, that means less work between him and Kyle which translates to a ruff start.

You seem like a cool dude, 4eva, and I do believe you would have the fortitude and determination to kill 12 year old Hitler.
Just think of me as a kind of blog superhero – keeping the Raider broadband clean for good folks like yourself from those out for no good.
Or those who make no good in their adult diapers 4 or 5 times a day.
Speaking of crap, anyone seen or heard from Brian the Genital? Haven’t seen him here in a while, I’m hoping he’s busy duct taping NASA grade plastic to Krappy’s car seats in preparation for tomorrow’s game.
If you happen to talk to him, remind the dude to pick up a package of clothes pins for his nose and a pair of thick metal tongs as well.
It’s going to be a long, bumpy drive.

I love post #18. You are exactly right Terrapin. You have to laugh at the Whiners for wasting their draft pick on Crabgrass. Crab is so full of himself and angry that he wasn’t the first receiver drafted, that he is willing to lose an entire year of NFL salary because the whiners won’t offer him top 10 money (which he doesn’t deserve). When you look at DHB, you see a guy that is humble, has a positive attitude, and works hard. Not to mention the fact that he was THE fastest man out of college this year. As far as Maclin goes, that guy was plagued throughout his entire college career with injuries. I don’t think Maclin will last 3 NFL seasons. DHB is really starting to look like a genius pick by the Raiders. I wish Mitchell could get his hamstring working properly so he could prove he deserved to be selected in the second round. Go Raiders!

Why do you do this to yourself?
Already told you..Maclin, in two preseason games, has 6 catches for 70 yds..he’s somewhere around 25th or so.
Bey, in two preseason games, has ONE catch…you know..like one more than ZERO..for an awe inspiring 8 yds.
Crabtree has done just about the same as Bey while not in camp.
Hey..I know, I know..one catch…WHOOOOO HOOOOOOOO…8 yds??? OMG!!!
Just exactly what you expected Bey to do..right?
August 28th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Ok im back dirty check ur email
August 28th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
Dirty yours will work great
Whats your email?
408 that works too. If we dont fill up the team we can always open to the public. Last year live draft dates became scarce as the season approached.
We could schedule the draft the weekend before the season opens to give more people time to sign up.
I have been trying to post this for tenxtwentyxthirtyxfortyxfifty minutes, I even got a “you posted this already, no duplications allowed” message.
When I left here months ago I thougt there was no way the blog could get any worse. I am sad to annonce that I was wrong again.
This place is much worse.
I keep adding to this post. Heres the info. I could not get a saturday or sunday draft date.
Draft is a week from this monday 1:45PM pacific time

Don’t be hatin’ Nordork.
Crabtree won’t be sitting out the year..it’s only week two. Hell..you should know that..look at fatass Russell..he sat out until week two OF THE REGULAR SEASON..
Bey is starting to look like a genius pick??
HAVE YOU WATCHED THE GAMES??
Please…ANYONE..tell me ONE THING..just one..that Bey has done that would give anyone the idea he’s even going to be adequate.
You can’t.
He doesn’t fight for balls (same knock in college)
He doesn’t get open (same knock in college)
has horrible hands (same knock in college)
And, in two games, has ONE catch..for basically nothing..
Genius? LMAO..You think because he actually showed up to pick up his check, it’s a genius signing…
Good one, Gomer.
August 28th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Jerry, Just reading back on some of the columns I missed from one of my favorite sports writers-keep that sarcasm coming Jerry.
Chris Mortensen says the Raiders are “the second best team in the AFC West”?! That was fairly obvious last year Chris.
This year we’re moving it up a notch.

Well there we have it fellas …
And you thought we might spend a draft pick on a MLB next year? O’Neill goes on the practice squad this year. Hits the strength program and learns the MLB position. He’ll be elevated around week 12, get a few games under his belt, and go into next season as the starting MLB. Bam, there you have Al’s next revalation to us all. Another guy he personally identified, and turned into a player.
Can’t wait!

August 28th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Interesting. Almost wonder if Al sees a big future for this kid and he just wanted to hide him away on the practice squad all along.
August 28th, 2009 at 7:10 pm
Richochet – You stay looking at the stats. I’ll watch the real game and be the judge. Maclin has being playing like 3Qs each preseason game. They are calling plays just for him where he is the primary target – many short throws to him. So he better have more catches.
He’s returning kickoffs and he can’t hold onto the damn ball or deliver the goods! Problem. So they had to put Jackson back there again vs Jags.
And he looks slow – definitely not as fast as advertised.
As of right now that pick is not looking great for the Eagles. It can all change for the better but its just not looking great. He looks like a bona-fide NFL backup in his future and not a starter at this level.
Comparing Maclin’s stats to DHB is irrelevant. DHB is playing in an entirely different style of offense – furthermore calling for him to draw doubles. Maclin’s in a West Coast style offense full of quick slants and routes.

Don’t get me wrong, and draft DHB!!

I have Hope, I do not have faith in the Raiders, as the management is currently structured.
The numbers don’t lie. Al Davis’ record as GM over the last 20 years is HORRIBLE. The Organization get’s more bizarre by the year.
The Post’s rankings of NFL Organizations is based on more than Super Bowls. The Raiders last Super Bowl victory was 1984. BEFORE FREE AGENCY, hardly relevant to TODAYS rankings.
They use Winning percentage, Playoff Appearances, How many of their Draft Picks are with the team, How many of your players make the Pro Bowl etc.
Here’s another study done by Sports Business Daily
http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/article/125013
A Survey done by the Wharton School of Business which asked Players to rank Organizations. It has the Raiders Organization ranked dead last.
If you want to get angry, get angry at the people guiding our beloved team. That’s where I’m at. I let the slogans go a long time ago.

Is it a live draft? I work on Sundays and really need an option to let the computer draft for me.
August 28th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
no thanks 408,but thanks for asking.i played for years but i got tired of having to root for players on teams i can’t stand.made quite a bit of $ playing though.

KK-let me play devils advocate here for a minute concerning the rankings.draft choices on team-according to many chuckie and Bruce Allen had control when they was here.well,the draft from the time they were here should be our core players today.they are not.pro bowl players-we all know the pro bowl is nothing but a popularity contest and has an eastern bias.also,in the last 10 years we have more play-off appearances than most teams above us.as far as the players ranking organizations-you’ve got to be kidding.
August 28th, 2009 at 8:43 pm

Can anyone tell me why in god’s name the game is at 1pm tomorrow?
August 28th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
KK-i think the a few of the reasons for our low rankings is we play in an antiquated stadium,we get almost no corporate support,the fans don’t support the team like they do in many places,and AD is AD an he isn’t liked.
August 28th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Jerry…
“Your posting comments too quickly. Slow down.” is demeaning…
my suggestions are:
1. change the phrase to say: “While we value your opinion and want to allow your valuable opinion to be posted on our unworthy site, alas we cannot accomodate your valued posting at this time. Please push F5 and click “retry”.”
2. feed the hamsters that are running your server…
August 28th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Our defense is giving up more rushing yards that any team in the league. Until Al Davis starts drafting linemnen in the first round, we will continue to suck.
August 28th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Two rookie WR’s Starting on the same team. Speaks volumns to their work ethic, ability and maturity at such a young age. I’m not sure this has ever happened before. You rarely get two starters out of the same draft as rookies and to have them at the same position. Is remarkable. It’s not because we have no where else to go, because there are some outstanding WR’s available in trade but these two are making it a nonissue.
I say bravo to DHB and Murphy for commanding the coaches stop and take notice with their performance in practice. To step up like that when Chaz went down is outstanding work. JLH is no slouch neither is Walker contrary to popular belief. When we lost Chaz I thought fr sure we would have to go get another vet to take his place. Well These two stepped up big time.
A very rare accomplishment.
August 28th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Can anyone tell me why in the fuq the game is at 1pm tomorrow? That’s like 10 am in summer time. I can’t even picture watching a preseason football game at 1 fuqqin pm. Priest, since you know everything, care to weigh in? Why the early start? And it better be good.

———————————————
Hey dumfuk, I already told you, Russell was not going to play in his rookie season anyway. The Whiners DESPERATELY needed Craptree to start. Problem was Craptree wanted $100mm when he was worth $20mm. So, Craptree is going back into the draft in 2010. Think I’m kidding?? the Whiners drafted Alex Smith Number One Overall didn’t they?? And he is going to be cut in two weeks! Whiners have NO HOPE!

For all the Madden fans out there. What you think of DHB on the game. I already have 20 TD’s with him by week 9. Just throwing over the top.
I’m excited about our receiving corp this year. Curry and porter are gone. Have some good young and promising WR’s. Now lets just hope they continue to jel with Jmac.
As far as that Fantasy season, any room left and what time is the draft. How early will DMAC go in it? I’ve been in 2 already and i’ve gotten him in the 5th each time.

It’s easy to deceive people 70yrs old & above. That’s who watches that moron & makes it #1. I only watch because a rightwing friend & I have a deal for a week he’ll watch Jon Stewert & Obermann if I will watch Beck. So far his idea of stewert’s show has changed completely because he has never seen it only believes what Fox says. If you only watch Fox you will never get the whole story + lies. Believe me I’ve watched.
Nnamdi21, you are SO right.
August 29th, 2009 at 9:58 am
Nmamdi,
When I made a simple comment about a previous admin tax-cuts, for 100% of the people not 95%, you said I was “defending the Nazi’s”.
Well being Italian, and from a military family, that kind of struck a nerve. I told you about it, you never responded and started posting later, and never acknowledged it or even said, “not what I meant, this is what I meant”.
The comment itself didn’t piss me off as much as you just glossing over it. Choose your words more carefully my friend.
August 29th, 2009 at 9:58 am
Lets hope the Raiders show up for this game. This is the PLANNED for gmae this pre season to kind of work the kinks out and see where we may actually be.
N.O. has said they want to evaluate and work run this game, but still not sure its an indication of where we really are against the run considering who’s NOT playing on defense.
Interested inthe O too. can we run or is our line sh*t now? Cooper Carlisle has been slipping…Satele’s not looking great and Green is well, Green…
Not even sure about Henderson’s run blocking.
Like to see J Marc connect with his wides more too. C’mon Bey and Murph!

Hope he does well this year

Get a little big of work and then everybody stay healthy, let’s try and get DHB the ball early even a quick out or slant just to give hime a taste of a catch, he gonna be starting opening day so might as well give all the confidence we csn.
GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

255. For now, while I’m allowed, I’ll speak my mind.
If you’re offended by my saying they’re nazi like, maybe its because your one of them.
With your background you’d think you’d know better but then again, military people often follow blindly and support Reps who ARE the military.
BTW, who’s side were the Italians on in WWII?
IF you did you’re home work you’d see that my NAZI remark IS justifiable whether you like it or not.
The complete lack of compassion, the adoration of oppresive and killing technology, insatiable lust for power ect. ect. I could go on but pearls before the swine and a waste of time.
Frankly, I didn’t gloss over it, I probably just stopped reading your stuff because much of it, unrealated to football is patently ridiculous and shows your level of self delusion.
You’d think with your back ground you’d do some home work, but apparently that doesn’t suit you because of your cirlces and workles ect.
Fuk it, if I were one of the bad guys I might not want to admit it either…
August 29th, 2009 at 10:09 am
Really hope Jamarcus gets the opportunity to run a 2-minute drill at the end of the half.
Experience is so crucial in those situations (when to ground the ball, getting guys up to the line quickly, when to use TO’s, etc..)

The people of America need to stop argueing over D or R and fox or cnn.
We need to toss out ALL of the politicians. Start over with term limits and no pensions. People need to go to DC to serve not to be served millions of dollars from lobbiest and the taxpayers.
Then they need to adopt a down the middle of the road approach with no extremes. Its the best we can hope for.
August 29th, 2009 at 10:14 am
At least he is consistant
August 29th, 2009 at 10:17 am
I’ll be paying close attention to C, RG, and RT today. I think those 3 positions have been coming up short so far this offseason. So much so that Cable had to go back to coaching the Oline this week.
Defensively, Trevor Scott and John Alston HAVE to step their game up.
Huff at FS.

==============================
kiffin’s punkass was a hater and bitch toward him. Cable believed in him and motivated him by givin him tough love and pushin him.

We need to get younger at RG and RT. Green was brought in to be a backup 3 years ago. He’s 3 years older and needs to be replaced. Already would be had it not been for the Barnes injury.
Carlisle’s penalties irk the shyt out of me more than anything else, especially since he’s a veteran. He’s geeting more penalties b/c his skills are diminishing.
Just saying that those are 2 positions that need to step their level of play up based on the first 2 games. Preseason or not, blocking is blocking and they haven’t been getting the job done.

Hello ya’ll. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted…
Just wanted to let all of you interested, that I have a free fantasy league for anyone to join in NFL.com.
The league name is WWL – World Wide League and the draft will be on 9-9-9.
Feel free to join. The draft is automated. For any more info simply go to NFL.com
August 29th, 2009 at 10:41 am
4eva, your still in the yahoo FFL league with us right?
Draft is tomorrow.

Sweet, lots of trash-talking should be going on tomorrow night, lol. Feelings may be hurt
August 29th, 2009 at 10:52 am
Now for some Raider talk.
I am interested to see how the TEs will be used today. I’m not sure who the better blocker is, Miller or Myers. They both seem to have great hands, but I think Miller is the better route runner. And maybe the better blocker as well, which might give Myers more opportunities at receptions maybe?
Another thing that I want to see, is how the rookie WRs will do. Murphy seems to be a solid #2 or #3. But that would push Higgins out, and then, does that mean that DHB will be #1? What about Chaz? What I really want to see, is Walker. Is he back to his form as he claims to be? I hope he gets some time with the first team today, to get a real sense as to where he is. If we can, we should keep Nick Miller. He reminds me of Welker…I know, it’s been said before, but he really does.
The RBs are solid, so I’m not too worried about that position. However, it’ll be interesting to see how Bush does against the NO startes vs McF against NO second team.
JR should keep improving…at least hopefully. If takes a dive today, then we will know he still has a VERY long road ahead of him, compared to if he does well and improves from last week, we would know that he is getting closer to true #1 pick status.
I have not seen Henderson do anything wrong so far. He’s holding his ground as a legit LT. Who would’ve known… Maybe if JR got a little more tough love he would do the same?…
I personally think we should keep Gradkowski as the #3. He seems to have heart. Not that Frye doesn’t, but for some reason I notice it more on Grad.
Defensively, well, the usual. Somebody needs to stop the run. They should assign one player to the RB on all downs and make him responsible for him. His main duty is to bring the RB down. Maybe we could have a #2 and #3 to back him up. Obviously this would come into effect given the RB gets passed the Dline or runs to the edge. The Dline should be the #1 stopper, but well…. you know.
Our passing D is solid enough, I think. Though it would’ve been nice to see how good Mitchell really is.
Those are my two cents…
August 29th, 2009 at 10:56 am
YOU GUYS ARE GOING DOWN! STARTING WITH TOMORROWS DRAFT!

August 29th, 2009 at 10:56 am
You guys should put some general rules in your drafts like no Donkeys, Bolts, or Chiefs player can be drafted. And everyone must take a Raider by round 2.
August 29th, 2009 at 10:58 am
As well as Meyers is playing, Stewart is playing just as well. Especially at the primary job of blocking.
Arguably our deepest position. Cable BETTER roll with a lot of 2 TE sets this year. Will really help the run game as well.
August 29th, 2009 at 11:00 am
Stewart made a tough catch last week, is a huge ST contributor, and is our player rep and good presence in the locker room.
With that being said, Myers looks like a stud, and might warrant more playing time than Stewart ultimately.

2 TE sets would be good except that would only allow us to either have only one RB or one WR. Though if we go one WR, that would allow us to put in an extra RB (McF and Bush maybe?) and that would be good. I hope to see that. that would lessen our so called weakness on offense (WR) and increase our strenghts (TE and RB). It will also be great on play action plays.
August 29th, 2009 at 11:04 am
4eva,
Can you see my pic on the FFL site?
August 29th, 2009 at 11:04 am
I agree Vegas, don’t get me wrong.
That is why I think that the 2 TE set should be our base formation. All 3 of those guys would play in a rotation, and it would be a true position of strength.
It would also allow Reece to make the team.
August 29th, 2009 at 11:06 am
From what I know, the two TE set is best used in short-yardage, play-action scenarios right? So for us to really be able to utilize the formation, we need to get good chunks of yardage on first down (i.e. no Fargas up the middle on 1st)
August 29th, 2009 at 11:08 am
I prefer the single back set with two TEs….
I do see a 2 RB package in short yardage and goaline situations. You could also have a package where Bush and McFadden start off in the backfield and McFadden goes in motion to the WR position. That would create a ridiculous mismatch with a LB or S man up on McFadden.
August 29th, 2009 at 11:09 am
yes Vegas and I keep getting word press so I stop mnow
August 29th, 2009 at 11:09 am
That is good JHill. Let’s hope Cable has thought of that…
August 29th, 2009 at 11:11 am
Like to see that formation as well but not until opening night. Don’t want to give too much away.

August 29th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Oh no, Vegas.
Many many options present itself with the 2 TE set. Myers and Miller on the field, the opposing team would HAVE to account for that. Spreads the middle of the defense out or forces them into a zone set. If you can see the advantages of running that set in goalline and short yardage, then you obviously see the benefits of it as a run formation.
Speaking of that Zone coverage, think how that helps the WRs and plays out of the backfield to Bush or McFadden.
I could go on and on, and I don’t know shyt compared to the guys getting paid to do it.
August 29th, 2009 at 11:18 am
JHill,
That’s why I said “from what I know”, lol. Not a big X and O’s guy, but I know that for a two TE set to be effective passing the ball, the opposing team has to fear the run. Short-yardage situations seem to present that.
August 29th, 2009 at 11:19 am
We should make a playbook and send it to them. We’ll keep it simple. One formation. About 15 to 20 plays. Half runs, half pass, with a few playactions. lol…

See? You need to stop taking stupid pills.
Cable didn’t believe in crap with Mario.
Cable is the one who went to bat for Kwame.
Cable took over HC after game 4. Already Kwame led the league in penalties, yet..Cable kept him in.
Week 6..everyone was wondering WTF?? WHY IS KWAME STILL IN? Cable kept him in.
Week 10..EVERYONE was bitchin’ about Kwame..yet..there’s Cable..saying “kwame harris is our starting LT”
Wasn’t until AFTER week 12 that Cable finally put in Mario..
There’s your reality check. Cable knew Kwame sucked. He knew Mario was better, but he sacrificed the team, and the qb, hoping to save face.
WOW..doesn’t that sound familiar??
Sound older than dirt NFL owner sacrificed the WHOLE SEASON by NOT firing his HC, when the whole planet knew he was going to. Instead, that Geritol Geriatric owner kept on this lameduck HC, with the sole purpose of trying to get something/anything so he could fire him with “just cause” and save himself his coaching salary.
Let’s see..a successful season is worth ten’s of millions of dollars..and this moron owner was trying to save one million..of which he won’t be successful.
Honestly, is that not the dumbest owner..in all of sports?
We both know the answer.
Cable is a puppet..nothing more..nothing less.
