Rookie WRs could open as starters
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, August 28th, 2009 at 11:52 am in Oakland Raiders.
Some news and notes from Friday’s Raiders walkthrough at their practice facility in Alameda:
– Coach Tom Cable said following practice it is possible the Raiders could open the season on Sept. 14 against the San Diego Chargers starting two rookie wide receivers.
First-round pick Darrius Heyward-Bey and fourth-round selection Louis Murphy were working with the first team and will start against New Orleans, a game which will most closely resemble what the Raiders do in the regular-season.
“I don’t think that’s an issue quite honestly other than the fact that they are rookies,” Cable said. “They’re doing really, really well, both fo them. They just keep getting better and as they have progressed all the time. That’s enabled us to do it.”
With Chaz Schilens out, that leaves Johnnie Lee Higgins, last year’s leading receiver among Raiders wideouts with 22 receptions for 366 yards and four touchdowns, as the No. 3 receiver.
When Al Davis and Cable determine the final roster, wide receiver will be one of the most difficult areas to choose. Schilens, Heyward-Bey, Murphy and Higgins are carved in stone. Javon Walker is showing signs of regaining at least some of his old form and earns $2.3 million in salary in each of the next two years after renegotiating his contract.
If the Raiders were to go with five, as they have in some seasons, there is no room for anyone else. More likely a sixth receiver will come from Nick Miller, Todd Watkins and Jonathan Holland, with Will Franklin and Shawn Bayes not a factor in terms of the 53-man roster.
– Cable isn’t sure how much time Walker will see against New Orleans.
“We’ll see. He’s ready to go, wants to go, and we want him to go,” Cable said. “We’ll just kind of take that as we go into the game.”
– Game-time decisions will be SLB Slade Norris (calf) and FS Hiram Eugene. Eugene has been out the last couple of practices with what Cable called the stomach flu and Eugene said was a pectoral strain. In addressing it Friday, Cable said, “It started out as an illness and really it will be a game-time decision.”
– Those who won’t play include Schilens (foot), T Khalif Barnes (ankle), Kirk Morrison (elbow), S Mike Mitchell (hamstring), C John Wade (stinger), RB Justin Fargas (hamstring), DE Matt Shaughnessy (foot) and LB Isaiah Ekejiuba (shoulder).
– Shaughnessy was off to the side with a member of the athletic training staff running agility drills around cones, indicating he could return for the preseason finale against Seattle.
– The Saints game will be the lone preseason game the Raiders will have prepared for as if it were a regular season game. Rather than look at film of last year’s 34-3 loss in New Orleans, Cable and his staff are preparing for what they’ve seen from the Saints this preseason.
The Saints are 2-0, with a 17-7 win over Cincinnati and a 38-14 triumph over Houston. Attempting to balance their offense after throwing the ball 636 times and running it 398 in 2008, the Saints through two preseason games have 57 rushes for 259 yards and have thrown 60 passes, completing 38, for 477 yards.
“That’s good for us because we still need to work on the run game defensively,” Cable said.
– Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye, competing to be the third quarterback on the roster, may not get much of a chance against the Saints. JaMarcus Russell will start and could play into the early third quarter before giving way to Jeff Garcia.
Garcia will play considerably more than his brief appearance in the last two minutes of the first half against San Francisco.
“I want to see Jeff play, we need to see Jeff play,” Cable said.
– The Raiders went through a walkthrough that lasted less than 45 minutes in preparation for Saturday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.
Players wore T-shirts and sweats or shorts. A few red zone plays for both offense and defense were run at half-speed, as well as some kickoff coverage drills.
It was light enough that some players, not even needing a shower, were headed to their cars before 11 a.m.
– No sign of Mario Henderson on the injury report, but he could have been listed with a tummy ache. Henderson reported Thursday night through his Twitter page that his stomach hurt because after being on a diet through training camp, he binged at Burger King with a triple whopper meal, two pies, two double cheeseburgers, two fish sandwiches and a milk shake.
Apparently unclear on the concept of a public Internet, Henderson noted in an earlier Twitter post he was going to binge on fast food and said, “I ain’t had fast food in 6 months. I kno coach is gon b mad at me but he wont find out . . . ”

Hilarious. Henderson just better make sure he’s able to move tomorrow. But as long as he keeps it up, he can eat whatever he wants! Go head and grub big man! Lol
August 28th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Time for my Louisville boy Bush to show us what he’s got tomorrow. I think he’s gonna have a huge game.
Hope to see that Cohen kid get some reps in the second half to see what he’s got after being hurt for much of his early career. Cuts are coming up and I’d hate to let him go and he become a productive young DT like Jovan Haye or someone.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Huff’s looking to get a lot of burn tomorrow with Eugene faking hurt. Hope he can make some plays

Sup guys……..time to smash Bitchochet again. The punk just lies all damn day
Bitchochet, I like how you had no response for Dan Moldea’s piece about organized crime having a hand in pro football. It is also common knowledge that Al help arrange the sale of the 49ers, you are just in denial knowing you are wrong. And Al didn’t know the region of the Bay Area? Explain that one to me please. He joined the Raiders in 1963 and the Raiders were winning ever since he came from LA Chargers. His success up to that time totally shoots down you BS claim.
Haha, obviously SF teams period were established before any Oakland team but SF teams were established losers. The 49ers weren’t selling out at all. As a matter of fact the 49er franchise didn’t have a soldout season until 1982 and that is a damn fact! Why mention the 3 straight division titles from 70-72 as evidence of the 49er franchise being successful? You totally ignore the fact that the 49ers were in the Bay since 1946 and hardly ever made the playoffs. The first 35 years for SF saw 5…..count them 5 playoff appearances total!
While the Raiders were busy being in the title hunt every year for the last decade the 49er franchise was a joke in the Bay Area. No one was giving the damn team any support. This is California and losing teams hardly get any love and you know what I’m saying is true! Find a way to spin that one
As for the Morabito widows yes they were old but they were unsuccessful on top of being elderly. They most definitely didnt know what hell they were doing as evidenced by the 49ers lack of success since being in SF so they needed help and guess who comes through? Yes Al Davis. This is common knowledge that those women were clueless. They knew Al because he whined about a guy taking over the franchise? LOL listen to yourself! All NFL owners know each other and they knew Al before even selling the team. Just stop you idiot.
Listen you idiot one more time…..JOE THOMAS WAS PICKED TO BE THE GM because of AL DAVIS putting in the word for him to DEBARTOLO! You quote a dumb ass pro 49er book as if its the truth but yet ignore Dan Moldea’s work. You are a damn idiot and can only quote that damn book.
That book is crap and Harris is seen as a so-so writer so there ya go! Walsh didnt re-invent shit. Paul Brown created that offense in the 1950s but it couldnt be used because of the rules back then players would get absolutely killed. It was the late 70s when the Steelers bitched about how they were getting dogged by the Raider Dbs and the rules were changed. That is how that garbage WCO took off.
Anyhow,I love how you try to step over the fact that Al knew Joe Thomas for a while and also did trades with him!!!! Raymond Chester? Thanks
You still wanna brush away the fact that the NFL has mob ties eh? I guess you dont know that much about the Debartolo’s you idiot. Moldea put out a book with court documents about a lot of scumbags who are connected through the underworld. I’ll take his words or some damn f@ggot like David Harris.
Fukin idiot you say Al Davis didnt recommend Walsh but then said Eddie Jr went to Al Davis and asked about Walsh. Do you hear yourself?
Paul Brown had alot of stroke in the league and many would listen to him since he wasd old school. Guess what maverick person will go against the grain and not good a damn what the in-crowd thinks? Al Davis

Comment #10 was good read. Trying to debate Ridowhiner is hopeless.The rules are always hide from the facts and make them up as you go,Ridowhiner is very good at that.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Dell,did you see my reply to your question on the previous thread concerning Mitchell?
August 28th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Do you think Marshall is gonna come back wanting to help out??? LMFAO!
August 28th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Marshall’s practice field BS piled on top of all of his off field antics MAY make him less attractive to teams that could consider paying him like a top 5 NLF receiver.
Skills, but what a c*nt…
I think he KNOWS his production would likely plummet with Cutler gone and…ha ha ha! ORTON attempting to throw the ball.
Orton’s as erratic as Grossman was.
Fuk U Bronco Nation. Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of fans…hope U suuuuuuuk!
Have to watch out for Knowshon though. The Kids the real deal mang.
Don’t want to wish ill will but I would be conflicted if the guy got injured and missed the entire year…
August 28th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Lefty 12
No I did not. I will go back to the thread, what time was your comment.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Lefty, I hate the 49ers and all that comes from then, you know that. Nothing pisses me off more than a 49er bastard who tosses lies out again and again
For instance, the guy said nobody saw DHB as a first rounder and then pulled up that Walter Football site as evidence. I countered that and he made some more BS up.
Sorry Lefty but I gotta go mainy on a 49er punk. Been doing it since I was a little General
August 28th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
I’m with ya Brien. Fargas was a good story for awhile, but his time is up, and Bush definitely needs his touches just as much as McFadden does. Hopefully Al will see what a difference this makes.
How come we never trade people at just the right time? If we’re gonna lose Morrison, Fargas, or Garcia, they all have decent value right now. Who knows after this season?
August 28th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Theoretically, IF we had drafted Crabtree he wouldn’t be holding out against us. He’d have gotten 7th overall money. I can’t help but feel he may have held us hostage too though for top 5 moolah.
Wasn’t a fan of him pre draft and glad Oakland did its home work.
Ok, they probably didn’t and just couldn’t take him without a 40 time!~
Either way, glad he’s across the Bay…
August 28th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Dell sup man? Tomorrow bruh gotta meet the great Dell. Bob wants to check ya as well. You are totally invited. I’m also juiced cuz my grandfather is coming out to the game man. He has seen everything with the Raiders and even went to the first games at Kezar in SF

Nnamdi21, he didn’t want to even come to Oakland, remember the no comment thing? Al didnt have to do his homework. Guy lacks top end speed and didnt play against any damn good defense. You are right I’m glad he aint here as well
August 28th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Still amazed at how Marten or Pears haven’t beaten out Cornell Green for that spot.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Starting two rookie wide outs isnt that bad…..Ad long as they can block!!! and with higgins out there we will be just fine!! I like it youth movement!!! this all could be a huge shill if Cable and Co. think that walker can really play…..

I was just telling a friend that yesterday. He’d be asking for more money no matter where he was drafted. I think the kid thinks/knows he wont be the same player at this level. NO SPREAD OFFENSE ON THE WEST COAST KID! (until Cable installs it in Oakland that is).
August 28th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
i don’t understand why everyone thinks Myers is a bubble player.the guy has looked good every time he has been given a chance and Cable always talks about how his rec. skills are a plus along with his blocking ability.the guy is a lock to make the team.

August 28th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
Oh dont be fooled guys. Myers will get significant laying time this year. As Jhill, the master, says we will be using a double TE formation. Myers isnt getting cut nor is he PS material.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
I was looking at SF run all over our defense and one thing I noticed was we don’t attack enough. All of our defenders are waiting to turn their hips and run after the back instead of running at his #s they are waiting to tackle. Our LBs don’t do a good job of taking the right angles. Our safeties make way to many tackles. Lastly, we don’t gang tackle the backs like good teams do. We should have two and three guys making tackles most of the time.
Our D-line is terrible!!!!!!!!!
August 28th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Lamont will start as RB for the Donks sunday against the Bears, gonna be good.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Wouldnt it be crazy if the Defense plays well tomorrow against Brees and company

Just meant Cable has said it him self we will only carry two TE’s…..Zach Miller, Brandon Myers, Tony Stewart, Darrell Strong…..
Strong is garbage i know but Stewart is going to be hard to be beat out…and with the health of OO in question we may need a FB that could back him up that all but locks up a roster spot I dont see us carrying 3 TE’s and 2 FB’s I dnt think he is a bubble in terms of talent just by process of elimination…thats all I’m a Meyers fan dont get me wrong we drafted him for a reason but we need the best 53 to go into war….and if thats him then so be it but if its Stewart then he will Meyers to the PS….its a numbers game

I was shiiiitttiiinn when Monroe was available thought fasho he would anchor our line for years….but Im behind the DHB pick myself and dont get it twisted I made my living as a line coach for a while but the only thing we love more than running the ball is scoring points Cable likes the DHB pick……

I wont be surprised if Mitchell and Norris get red-shirted this year with a bogus injury.
I dont mind. Its worked out with Russell and Bush.
On the other hand….
CUT HUFF PLEASE.
August 28th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Yea, I’m behind it too, just as I was behind the Derrick Gibson pick though I had tons of friends who were Florida State fans who told me that he was was gonna be a bust. Once your a Raider, I’ll ride for ya, and I’m not mad about DHB. Just wish we could have parlayed that pick into another and still snagged DHB, but that’s old news. Can’t wait to see Schilens patrolling the middle when DHB sends those safeties into the quickest backpedal they’ve ever done before.
Maybe we’ll luck up and someone got Cornell Green some skills for his birthday
August 28th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
he obvoiusly wants whats best for the US.
August 28th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Could somebody explain to me the last time Davis actually TRIED to get some help for interior run defense?
I’m sorry, but when you’ve been this sorry at something so consistently, I fail to see how some “coaching up” is really going to cut it in the NFL.

@Richochet
You clearly have a sad existence. I am refering to you, not the 9ers, not anything to do with football, just you. I don’t understand why:
A) You think your opinion impacts any of these Raiders fans, who clearly have there minds made up on this years team, and only results will improve or regress any derived opinion
Richochet: REALLY?? No impact??? None? YOU SURE?
You have ONE POST on this thread..out of hundreds posted here..ONE…to me.
CLEARLY YOU ARE IMPACTED.
Next-
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
B) You think you are intelligent clearly, however the remedial way you banter with everyone proves without a doubt you are far from
Richochet: No, YOU clearly think I’m intelligent. See, I’ve NEVER stated as such..however, YOU just did. Means YOU believe I am, and assume I feel the same way. Considering that you’re only post here is TO ME, I suspect you just might be right on this one.
Oh..before I forget..THANKS
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
C) You have enough time in your life to argue with up to five raider fans at once. Get a job or something you cretin

Just to clear up some Bill Walsh talk for the meatheads…
This is from the article that named Al Davis the most significant sports figure in the Bay Area of the 20th century…
“He was one of the great coaches I have ever observed … a truly great coach,” 49ers president and former Davis employee Bill Walsh says. “Had he chosen to remain in coaching, he would
be considered one of the great coaches of all time.”
In this article, 12-29-00, from the Press Democrat this is what Mike Lombardi said…
“I always wanted to work with Al because of Bill Walsh.”…”When I was with the 49ers,” Lombardi said, “I would drive Bill from place to place, and I’d ask him about football. It’s hard for Bill to share his knowledge. One time he said, ‘The most football I learned was working at the Raiders.’”
=======================================
=============================================
Wrong. What he said is he learned more with the Raider than he did with all of his years IN COLLEGE..See..was his first time in the NFL.
Now, you little twaddles seem so intent on wanting to believe this..but..really sorry about this..but time I torch that little bridge you hold so desperately to.
Book: THE GENIUS-BILL WALSH
Chapter: “Climbing the ladder”
Pge: 41 Bill Walsh described the philosophy he learned about offense was first developed by the legendary Sid Gillman at the Chargers. This philosophy was handed on to Rauch. Sid Gillman was commonly referred to as “the father of the modern passing game” and Walsh found his first exposure to Gillman’s system “an eye opener as to what was possible offensively. What everybody else was doing was primitive compared to Gillman’s concepts..
PAGE 42, SECOND PARAGRAPH:
“Other than the Gillman epiphany, however, Walsh’s Raiders experience was the worst in his ten tears as a coach. “The atmosphere there was not healthy, in terms of how they treated people and how they tried to get loyalty, trust, and respect out of their people. It was very formative in a very negative way. I learned a lot about how not to run a team.”
Sorry ladies, but..what else do you need? THIS IS IN THE BOOK..not from some flake like Lombardi, or cohn, of all people who want to pass on “feel good ” stories.
WALSH QUIT THE RAIDERS AFTER HIS FIRST YEAR..and contemplated getting out of coaching COMPLETELY because his experience was SO BAD.
I’m sorry..you’re confused.
You think I made this up..so..yes…go to the library, check out “The GENIUS” and go to page 41, and 42..then say to yourself ‘Oh damn…I didn’t know that. He’s right.”
Yeah, I know.

Comment #10 was good read. Trying to debate Ridowhiner is hopeless.The rules are always hide from the facts and make them up as you go,Ridowhiner is very good at that.

Here’s the difference between me, and most of you so called fans.
If I make a comment, and am called on it..I back it up.
I don’t pretend I “didn’t see it”.I don’t “diversion post”..if anyone has an issue with something I said, I’ll address it.
you? You’re a mouse.
I have no respect for mice.
Most here are mice.
In reality, most here are uninformed, and read what they know is very likely a solid fact.
Instead of stepping up, they beg off..tail between legs..accepting defeat.
Some, like you, even beg ‘why reply to him..I can’t..I don’t..why don’t others do what I do so I don’t feel inadequate”?
You’ll have to ask them.
Now, back to the shallow end of the pool, Dell.
Much..much..safer there.
now..shoo…go.

This is the 4th time you’ve state this, Kelly.
Let me state again, it makes no sense.
“IF they can keep teams under 120, I think the offense can COMPENSATE for it”
Compensate for what? Makes no sense? Are you past the age of expecting to make sense?
Ok..sure..they can “compensate” for it..
You mean “If the offense does their job, and the defense keeps them under 120, we can win’???

Theoretically, IF we had drafted Crabtree he wouldn’t be holding out against us. He’d have gotten 7th overall money. I can’t help but feel he may have held us hostage too though for top 5 moolah.
Wasn’t a fan of him pre draft and glad Oakland did its home work.
Ok, they probably didn’t and just couldn’t take him without a 40 time!~
Either way, glad he’s across the Bay…
……………………………………………….
I was just telling a friend that yesterday. He’d be asking for more money no matter where he was drafted. I think the kid thinks/knows he wont be the same player at this level. NO SPREAD OFFENSE ON THE WEST COAST KID! (until Cable installs it in Oakland that is).
==================
AND WE HAVE A WINNER..dumb post of the day.
So..you’re saying he’s deliberately holding out? That regardless of money offered, he’ll want more?
You think he thinks/knows he won’t be the same player at this level..so…HE’S TRYING TO AVOID A PAYCHECK??
huh??
Yeah, fool..the #1 receiver IN AMERICA somehow..now..is afraid of playing..wants to avoid it at all costs..won’t be the “same player”..so he’s making sure he never gets on the field to prove it..
What? What are you saying? lol..

– No sign of Mario Henderson on the injury report, but he could have been listed with a tummy ache. Henderson reported Thursday night through his Twitter page that his stomach hurt because after being on a diet through training camp, he binged at Burger King with a triple whopper meal, two pies, two double cheeseburgers, two fish sandwiches and a milk shake.
Apparently unclear on the concept of a public Internet, Henderson noted in an earlier Twitter post he was going to binge on fast food and said, “I ain’t had fast food in 6 months. I kno coach is gon b mad at me but he wont find out . . . ”

Kool Kell, you bailed last night before I had the chance to respond to your comment about me not being here if we beat SD. Again, I WILL be here. If we go out and beat SD, in week one, I will be here to give props to all of the believers, and admit that I was wrong in being so cynical. I absolutely, positively will be here. I came here after we beat Denver in Denver later in the season last year. I came here after we beat Tampa. Somebody told me we were going to pound it out against Tampa and I told them they were nuts. When we did, and won big, I came back and admitted I was wrong. I always admit when I’m wrong. It just so happens that when it comes to the Raiders, I rarely am. That’s not my fault.

Is it too much to ask that some of you actually take time to figure out the context of a comment?
Comment was Crabtree was now, mysteriously, doing everything he can to actually avoid signing a contract because he wasn’t going to be able to perform.
In college he was the #1 WR IN THE COUNTRY..adding that now, oddly, the #1 receiver in the country was worried about not doing well??
Obviously I was referring to college.
You needed me to say that?
You couldn’t figure out that from what was posted?

Chris O’Neill to rejoin Raiders, play Saturday
Submitted by Chadd Cripe on Fri, 08/28/2009 – 2:48pm.
By Chadd Cripe
ccripe@idahostatesman.com
Former Boise State tight end Chris O’Neill plans to re-sign with the Oakland Raiders and play in their preseason game Saturday night in Oakland against the New Orleans Saints, he said Friday.
O’Neill, who moved to linebacker during the summer and then was cut early in training camp, has been in Boise for several weeks. He had a tryout with the Minnesota Vikings, but that didn’t pan out.
He isn’t sure what the Raiders have in mind. He isn’t even sure which position he will play, but he does expect plenty of work on special teams.
The first round of NFL cuts is Tuesday.
“They told me to pack like I’m staying,” O’Neill said. “It’s got to be a practice-squad deal.”

Welcome to the practice squad O’Neill! Get ready to play some LB, lol.

also ricochet read post 150. It doesn’t matter if bill walsh was an rb assistant coach that doesn’t mean hes gonna not learn the offense. You are still evading the fact that Walsh said HIMSELF that he learned everything about football from Davis. “The most football I learned was with the Raiders”, Bill Walsh said that and your saying that just because rauch was the coach he didn’t learn anything form Davis? You really stupid for thinking that and pathetic because you just can’t escape the fact that Al Davis mentored the greatest coach in your team’s history. A fact is a fact man, don’t try to evade with some lame excuses with sid gilman teachin walsh the offense, well guess what? Your wrong and probably ashamed that Al Davis taught Bill Walsh “everything he knew about football”.

Guess you feel pretty damn stupid after reading post 326, don’t you?

No I don’t because first off your a dumbass for saying that Bill walsh wanted to leave the raiders because the experience was bad. That’s #1. No. 2 is that your still dumb because you still haven’t answered all of my questions and you came trying to change things up like sayin’ “sid gilman and john rauch taught bill walsh” no you idiotic piece of shit and i don’t know how many times i gots to tell you that sid gilman was davis’ mentor and trained al davis in the vertical offense and davis passed it on to rauch. oh and i read post 326 and your the one who is still feeling stupid just go search up the sid gilman coaching tree and it’ll tell you all you fukin pansy. You so damn foolish and act like a damn know it all. “Walsh learned from davis in college”, no you damn buster! You still hate the fact that al is simply Bill Walsh’s mentor you can’t hide the fact Bill Walsh said it HIMSELF and I think that Bill Walsh knows himself more than you and I saw Brien whoopin yo’ ass in that debate you was havin and you just come with all these ridiculous facts and back shit up like sayin “come clean my pool” instead answering certain questions i asked.

It was Joe Montana who wanted all of the rollout plays. Walsh, a Davis prodigy, preferred an 11 step drop for Montana. Walsh insisted to his dying day that if the 49ers would have used a vertical offense against the Cowboys they would have destroyed them, and it never would have come down to some silly “catch”. (snare)

See, you dumbass, THE OWNERS VOTE IN OTHER OWNERS.
What? You’re so stupid you didn’t know that? lol..you think this is a casino? Where someone just “gets a license”? No, idiot. The prospective owner goes through a lot of background checks, and all the other owners, during their meetings, discuss the new prospective owner..AND THEY VOTE ON IT..

“Organizations win Super Bowls”
-Al Davis
==================================
man you are a hater. and this list is stupid. The best organizations? Most of the teams that are before the raiders (except for the steelers, whiners, cowboys, cheatriots, and donks) have never won a super bowl nor won a superbowl. So this list is fuckin irrelevant and stupid because the best organizations are the ones that win the most superbowls. you are a huge hater kell you always try to discredit al davis and the raiders all the time. you always look at the negatives instead of positives. I think you suffer from sadism.

It is also common knowledge that Al help arrange the sale of the 49ers, you are just in denial knowing you are wrong.
Richochet: “common knowledge”?? Fool..I just DETAILED what happened. That Al was paid a fee to help in the sale. The 49er owners were approached by Thomas and the Debartelos, MORON.
What’s funny is YOU are SO DESPERATE to state that the one main source of pain and anguish..the ONE AREA THAT CHAFES EVERY SINGLE RAIDER FAN, THE NINERS, AND ALL OF THEIR SUCCESS..is Al’s fault? LMFAO..I wish it were true.
Yeah,,you clueless toad..I WISH IT WERE TRUE. You don’t think I want to laugh and laugh that the reason the Niners became a dynasty was because Al said ‘hey? this team is for sale..you want it?”.. I WISH IT WERE TRUE.
Now, bad news for you..what’s a FACT is the Debartelo’s wanted a team..EVERYONE KNEW IT.
fact: the niner widows WANTED TO SALE..EVERYONE knows that..didn’t matter who called who, the deal was going to happen.
You act like a team was for sale..and some billionaires wanted to buy a NFL team…YET..SOMEHOW..THEY NEEDED AL DAVIS TO INFORM EACH OTHER?
No, moron..AL helped with the technicalities of the sale, WHICH IS WHAT HE WAS PAID A FEE FOR.
You, dumbass..have just been SCHOOLED AGAIN..and still laughing that you want so desperately to believe that the Niners rise to excellence is all Al’s fault…yes…ROFLMFAO…God..I wish it were true..that would be PERFECT.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
And Al didn’t know the region of the Bay Area? Explain that one to me please. He joined the Raiders in 1963 and the Raiders were winning ever since he came from LA Chargers. His success up to that time totally shoots down you BS claim.
Richochet: Oh geez..you’re so slow. I stated that WHY would the Niners need someone to ‘explain the region” when THE NINERS WERE IN THE BAY AREA BEFORE THE RAIDERS?
Understand now, peanut? You need to take your time, read, and try and comprehend. You just ramble stupid crap, making no sense, in a desperate effort to just try and save face. Instead you look more the idiot.
My replies are there..above..and on last thread..yet..you still ask the same questions that have already been answered.
You’re…rather slow..aren’t you?
August 28th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Murphy has great hands,imo.And 4 now all DHB gotta do is clear out people.I mean I’m sure DHB WILL catch a lot of balls but could you just see DHB and Murph clearing out a zone 4 a screen 2 Dmac!!!

Hey Dirty
I have not used twitter either. Last time I had the internet, you were in jail, your old lady came in to tell us and I told her to tell you not to play cards so you dont get a snickers contract out on you and I said a prayer for you.
I hope things are going better now.

August 28th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Haha, obviously SF teams period were established before any Oakland team but SF teams were established losers. The 49ers weren’t selling out at all. As a matter of fact the 49er franchise didn’t have a soldout season until 1982 and that is a damn fact! Why mention the 3 straight division titles from 70-72 as evidence of the 49er franchise being successful? You totally ignore the fact that the 49ers were in the Bay since 1946 and hardly ever made the playoffs. The first 35 years for SF saw 5…..count them 5 playoff appearances total!
Richochet: oh gawd…*sigh*..it’s like talking to a child..seriously.
Uh…peanut? YOU stated the “NFL GOT INVOLVED”.
I stated YOU LIE. They did NOT.
YOU stated “Niners were a total wreck”
I stated their run of 3 division titles just a few years before the sale.
In other words, YOU’RE A FRIGGIN’ IDIOT.
The NFL NEVER contacted anyone about the Niners..the NFL DOESN’T DO THAT..you fool. See, I shot your sorryass down. You? YOU HAVE NOTHING IN REPLY..except to talk about prior won/loss records? What does that have to do with the exchange? NOTHING..it’s a diversion reply..because you got slapped down.
Want some irony?
82 the Niners sold out..and have EVERY SINGLE YEAR SINCE…every SINGLE GAME..
81 the Raiders sold out..AND HAVE NOT SOLD OUT SINCE THEN
You’re not doing to well, are you, Briebrie?

While the Raiders were busy being in the title hunt every year for the last decade the 49er franchise was a joke in the Bay Area. No one was giving the damn team any support. This is California and losing teams hardly get any love and you know what I’m saying is true! Find a way to spin that one.
Richochet: how did you get on that?
Discussion AGAIN was YOU stupidly said the NFL asked Al Davis to bail out the Niners. I stated you’re a liar. I was right, you are a liar.
Now you want to discuss history?
Ok
Let’s. Prior to 1980..Raiders were good, Niners sucked.
Since 1980..you know..LAST 29 YEARS?? Raiders have become a total joke..the laughingstock of the league..the butt of all jokes..the absolute worst franchise in the history of the NFL.
The Niners became a dynasty.
Won MORE GAMES THAN ANY OTHER TEAM IN THE ‘80′S.
Hold the RECORD for consecutive seasons of 10 plus wins.
Is the ONLY TEAM EVER to have back to back NFL MVP qb’s who are in the Hall of Fame.
Has 29 STRAIGHT YEARS OF SELL OUTS..each..and EVERY game..SOLD OUT..because the fans are diehard.
And..THE NINERS HAVE OWNED THE BAY SINCE 1980..with the Raiders becoming the Niners ugly little redheaded stepsister..in our shadows..depserate to quit being the worst.
the Raiders?
Since 1980?
SCREWED OVER ALL OF THEIR LOYAL FANS..and moved to LA because Al got greedy.
Got laughed out of LA..and found out the ONLY place that would take him was Oakland.
found out the fans of Oakland said to Al what he said to them when he left..which was F YOU.
Proceeded to hire more coaches, and fire more coaches than any other team.
Proceeded to make year after year some of the dumbest FA signings, some of the dumbest draft choices..and some of the dumbest benchings of players..EVER.
Watched the previous Oakland fanbase all but disappear..WHO MOST BECAME NINER FANS.
Yeah, LMFAO on how many jumped ship..and never returned.
Last 10 years the Raiders have had more BLACKOUTS than any other team, period..because the fans are fairweather fans. Both Niner preseason games are telecast live..NEITHER RAIDER PRESEASON GAMES are telecast live.
Last 6 years the Raiders have set an NFL record for consecutive 11 loss seasons..and will likely make it 7 years..and counting.
Last 10 years players HATE BEING SIGNED BY THE RAIDERS..I mean literally CRINGE at the idea..yet those same players smile widely if picked by the Niners.
Last 10 years player after player after player who left the Raiders..their STARS..state “it’s the most dysfunctional organization in the NFL, from TOP TO BOTTOM (Rich Gannon)..to “No one is in control, and it shows” (Tim Brown) to “Place was a disaster. They should just blow the place up, and start over” (Jerry Rice)…lol..I can go on and on..from Sapp, to Washington, to Garner, to Hall..etc..etc..etc…ALL STATE THE RAIDERS ARE A JOKE..and that’s the PLAYERS..who are STILL IN THE LEAGUE.
Yeah, at one point..4 DECADES AGO..the Niners didn’t have a clue..and finally the widows, who could care less about football, finally sold..and since then the organization has switched places with the Raiders..who have been on a downward spiral ever since.
hell, little boy..the Raiders LAST SUPER BOWL WIN was over a QUARTER OF A CENTURY AGO..
Yes, LMFAO..at you..
Thanks FOR THE SETUP, FOOL..couldn’t have done this without you

Listen you idiot one more time…..JOE THOMAS WAS PICKED TO BE THE GM because of AL DAVIS putting in the word for him to DEBARTOLO! You quote a dumb ass pro 49er book as if its the truth but yet ignore Dan Moldea’s work. You are a damn idiot and can only quote that damn book.
Richochet: And you seem to be confused. Can you read? Are you saying that I’m lying? That the Debartelo’s HAVEN’T DESCRIBED JOE THOMAS as a “close family friend”? That they weren’t friends for 10 YEARS BEFORE THE SALE?? Of course they were..You just have your little pink panties all in a bunch because I torched you, and your silly comments.
Now, you can scream all you want..but..I provided FACTS.
What have you provided? Oh..right..YOUR opinion.
Means squat, little boy.
And yeah, I believe a book that Bill Walsh helped write. Also believe his book..you know..his words.
Moldea? WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR POINT?
HAVE NO IDEA..what? That the Debartelo’s had “ties” to the mob? What’s your point? If I said “Ok, so what”..then what’s your answer?
We’re discussing Davis Walsh, and the Niners rise to glory and the Raiders descend into the abyss..and you want to talk about mob ties? lol..
Ok..let’s..Moldea’s book has linked “ties”..(in other words, he has NO PROOF OF ANYTHING) to 26 DIFFERENT OWNERS.
Yeah..idiot…26 DIFFERENT NFL OWNERS moldea is claiming “has ties”…and what’s your point?
Have NO IDEA why you’re harping on this..what the HELL IS YOUR POINT?
Moldea also stated there have been over 50 “investigations” that have been supressed..that there have been over 70 games “fixed”..and yet, no one knows who Moldea is..because he’s rambling..and no one’s listening..except you..so..regarding 26 owners..what, exactly, has got you all tearing up?

That book is crap and Harris is seen as a so-so writer so there ya go! Walsh didnt re-invent shit. Paul Brown created that offense in the 1950s but it couldnt be used because of the rules back then players would get absolutely killed. It was the late 70s when the Steelers bitched about how they were getting dogged by the Raider Dbs and the rules were changed. That is how that garbage WCO took off.
Richochet: Again, YOU’RE RAMBLING. Where did I EVER state Walsh reinvented anything? I didn’t, moron. You, obviously, are miffed that this is one of his legacy’s..deal with it. Walsh’s legacy is as a Genius. His legacy is PERFECTING the West Coast offense. No one ever said he invented it..he just perfected it..to where EVERY SINGLE TEAM IN THE NFL BOUGHT INTO IT..and still uses it to this day..yeah..that’s all Bill Walsh.
he also created a dynasty.
Was also a classy guy.
Al Davis?
A hermit.
A stubborn codgity old man who listens to no one.
A owner who used to be feared who is now laughed at because his senility has him making silly decisions, and no one dares tell him that.
A owner who has his team being viewed as the most dynfucntional team in the NFL.
A owner who’s created a situation where NO head coach of quality will ever want to coach there.
A owner where players hate playing for, actually stating “a team where careers go to die”.
A owner who blatantly screws over his own fans, both by moving the team when EVERY GAME WAS SELLING OUT, to screwing them over for SB tickets, cancelling parades..and cancelling fan days all for payback against Alameda County.
An owner who has half of his fans, on EVERY SINGLE RAIDER BOARD wishing he would just go away..far away..and stay away.
That’s the difference between the two.
One is total class…the other one a total ass who’s dragged his team into the gutter.
That was fun
Thanks AGAIN for the setup, Brie.

I don’t know whats more humorous Krappy Kell having an accident at an inopportune time and having his attendant change his adult diapers in public, or little Richochet with barely two marbles caravaning around in his dense empty skull trying to match wits with beeceham.
Little Richochet probably has one of those orange flags flying high and proud above his wheelchair he asked his mommy to put a Raider flag there instead but she said no he threw a temper tantrum and now he takes it out on us bloggers.
Krappy is funny when he tries to talk man talk with the big boys in here to feel adequate but his simpleton personality shines through and he gets hammered a lot so his self esteem has taken quite a shot lately I feel for the African American version of Mr Magoo.

Garcia should be cut if you ask me. Watching him in the few plays vs SF he just didn’t look right for this offense. Cable will have to call a fundamentally different game plan for Garcia.
This is some really unique, probably unprecedented stuff. Having 2 rookies start at wide out to open the season. That speaks volumes about DHB and Murphy (and admittedly the lack to experience at WR)

And bruh don’t ever call me a clueless coward because if i didn’t know what i was talkin about and i didn’t know how to defend myself i wouldn’t be on this blog. You just callin me a clueless coward because i torched on that whole bill walsh argument and you didn’t know jack squat what you wuz talking about. It’ll be easier for you to bow out as a bitch instead of a cluless, stupid ass bitch because you always get torched by all the fans on this blog dumb old man.I don’t regret shit i said homie its you because you obviously bowin out in every discussion you have and changin the subject. And Richochet? Shut the fuck up be asier bowing out on this blog where you lose debates all the time than bowin out as a clueless coward that always loses arguments then changes subjects.

hang in there real raider fans.. the haters and trolls do not understand how the universe, life and even football works in cycles. The greats will come back and reclaim their throne. Al might be a bit of a senile ol’ man focused on winning.. but he is a still an extraordinary senile ol genius of a man still focused on winning who might slip at times, but can still learn from mistakes and get it right. slowly but surely its what we have been doing.
they say the vertical offenses and man to man is outdated and that we have not caught up with the innovations of the nfl in the free agency era.
free agency shot us in the foot in recent years as well as helped reach and win in the playoffs. eventually, these old age views is going to catch up to the rest of the league and smash em in the mouth like an unexpected lightning storm coming fierce like a blitz of the raider speed! these pansies and divas seeking higher contracts are the epitome of what wrong with the nfl today, are going to be cold clocked by men with character who are appreciative of what is given to them… that sounds like the heart of a warrior ready to pounce on them bitches.
think of it like alternative medicine thats been around since ancient times.. its old.. but it is actually better than modern innovation.. over thinking and will eventually be whipped by raw fundamentals and natural instincts… as opposed to over thinking!
===========================
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Let’s see if I have this right, Gus.
You’re saying Al is as old as the hills? CHECK.
You’re saying Al’s way of doing things is outdated and archaic? CHECK
You’re saying that Al is a genius but a REALLY OLD genius who forgets where he is at times? CHECK.
You’re saying ‘slowly but surely you’ll get it right”?? Define ‘slowly”..
You’re saying that Al’s OLD AGE VIEWS show that the NFL has past him by, a LONG TIME AGO, but..BUT..that you subscribe to the notion that everything that was archaic has a way of coming back? Like bell bottoms? Hotpants? 8 track tape players? 70’s football?
Hotpants…maybe.
And..YOU’RE SAYING THAT instead of brain surgery, we should go back to drilling holes in skulls to “release the demons”??
Dude..YOU’VE BEEN READING TOO MANY COMIC BOOKS..
)
Funny stuff..(keeping my fingers crossed on that hot pants thang, though
**********************
Richochet, to compare 70’s fashion trends to football trends is irrelevant.
and about alternative medicine, who is talking about drilling holes in the scull? I am talking acupuncture and rain forest herbs as opposed to chemotherapy or dialysis. Its a medical establishment sham if you ask me.
and I said slowly but surely,.. and slowly can mean 6 years or 8 years…. like a financial investment, its gains are slow, but eventually, it takes off exponentially.
so, Al is a crazy ol man. A mad rocket scientist, well.. is still a rocket scientist.
with the right, components, it can work and the whole of Raider Nation will be laughing like madmen at chumps like you.
you might see the team is nothing but track stars. the fact is, they are still football players and with sound discipline, not even a “mastermind” Bill belicheat scheme can fully account for this speed that can’t be coached.
lastly, in regards to cycles, what comes up must come down only to come up again. Many teams haven’t even made it to the top and may never will.. its not part of their cycle. Kind of like riding on the kiddie roller coaster… there are hills plateaus valleys, but nothing significant.
