Saints 45, Raiders 7
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, August 29th, 2009 at 4:16 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Scoring
NO_Skyler Green 10-yard touchdown pass from Joey Harrington (Garrett Hartley kicks PAT), 8:25
Oak_Jonathan Holland 43-yard pass from Jeff Garcia (Sebastian Janikowski kicks PAT), 6:06
Notes:
– Saints take over at 45 on downs with 2:41 to play. Going to head downstairs, wrap it up for now.
– The Raiders broke through when Holland scored from 43 yards away with the help of a couple of missed Saints tackles, as Garcia directed a four-play, 60-yard drive as the game descended into garbage time.
– Joey Harrington finished a 76yard drive in 13 plays with a 10-yard scoring pass to Skyler Green against Jerome Boyd.
New Orleans has 487 yards of total offense and a 45-0 lead.
– The Raiders possession ends on fourth-and-12 when Garcia throws incomplete to Murphy in theend zone.

cut everyone cancel the season – please
August 29th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
We got 2 weeks to fix it not sure if its enough time but this is embarassing….
August 29th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
good gawd we’re going to get demolished – this better be a camp thing, drop in moreale or whatever, moving to alameda blues. i dunno. looks bad
August 29th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
I was screaming RAJI from JAIL! THEN WHEN I FOUND OUT REY FELL TO 2nd ROUND I STOPPED BEATING MY BUNKIE FOR THE DHB PICK AND SCREAMED FOR REY! I HAVE NO COACHING EXPERIENCE BESIDES COACHING MY SONS FOOTBALL TEAM AND I KNEW THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WE NEED TO DRAFT! EVEN AN OT IN THE FIRST ROUND WOULD HAVE BEEN A GODSEND!
August 29th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
this shyt is broken beyond repair
and i’m not talking about wordpress
August 29th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
ugly.
butt ugly.
worse than butt ugly.
almost nasty butt ugly.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Hey Thec I have 11 players this year I need 1 more are you down?
August 29th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Flush the toilet and move along.
Record is still 0-0.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Was it the heat? Cause gawddamn that team was flat today!
At least Russell looked good. The rest looked like trash. DHB didn’t do much but at least he held onto the ball. The rest looked like trash.
JLH is dropping waaaayyy too many balls out there and you all wonder why Murphy and DHB are getting the nod. Murphy was dropping like crazy today though. No, it can’t be the heat.
That defense ..ooooohhhh that defense – good gawd! They couldn’t stop a turtle! Drew Brees is just too damn good and that defense is just too damn bad! They either suck against the run or suck against the pass – never good at both at the same time.
HELP WANTED: Defensive End – pressure, preSSURE, PRESSURE! Giving these QBs all day to throw will surely get you killed. RDE needed ASAP! TScott who? Where’s the speed? Vanished!
August 29th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
What have I been saying all along?
You all now know it wasn’t smack, it was a head’s up for you guys.
This was the game that tells you how you look for SD on MNF.
At this point, SD is drooling at the prospect.
Now? Most teams sit most starters for game 4. Which means the Raiders have two weeks of this nasty taste in their mouths.
I was dead on regarding Russell.
Regarding your o line.
Regarding your d line.
Regarding Bey.
Regarding that sorry rushing game that you all think is so “awesome”.
Back to square one.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
And LB. They defense lacks serious attitude. HELP WANTED @ LB. Sht get MM out there – Somebody ANYBODY set the tone for that defense!
Just too damn lethargic.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
word press is pretty damn bad tho…
August 29th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
This reminds me of the Falcons game last year. Totally embarrassing!!!! We left at halftime. Thank goodness it’s still pre-season!
August 29th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
i can barely post > 1 every ten minutes
August 29th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
maybe now it works, someone turned the spam filter off i hope,. anyways…
raiders better be glad its preseason, and they shold realize that cuts need to happen now and get everyone the help they need. the season wont be any easier than what they got served today. it could get real bad right quick
August 29th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
I blame that defense totally for this one – It just set off an avalanche – Offense came out looking good – then 14pts down – then everything goes down hill – offense cause their own problems but ask yourself just how long they were on the sidelines? – cold turkeys.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
rack of schit…
you made your point… congratulations…
now fuqq off…
August 29th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
And please stop the 3-4 schemes. They are just horrific. Especially horrific when you don’t bring a single blitzer!
August 29th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
its jus a freakin preseason
August 29th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
new orleans was playing like its a playoff game throwing every down
August 29th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Lets face some hard reality here. Our defense sucks in all areas and everyone is going to run on us all game long.
Cable has to take responsibility, stop being a “yes-man” to Al Davis, and take charge, IF HE CAN. Maybe he just belongs in (Idaho or Iowa?) where he only won 30% of his games as a head coach.
Al Davis is responsible for the drafting over the past few years and he has repeatedly passed on potentially good defensive linemen. I’m not crying about all picks, as we have picked up some good picks, but overall we have
missed the opportunity. It all goes back to Al Davis. He must be living in the pass, he refuses to hire a General Manager to run the team, while he stays in the box with Jim Otto.
The the bright side, at least we’ll be among the first five teams picking in the draft. Maybe we’ll go D-line and O-line.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Everyone just needs to relax. It is only a preseason game. The defense will be just fine. I really think it will be in the top 5 this season.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
And please get rid of that damn DIRT!
August 29th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
NO wont make the playoffs mark that down
they know they are a good passing team, then why do they keep throwing isnt preseason about trying to get better at something your not good at like for example Running the ball
August 29th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
so i’m thinking the crack is cheap out where you’re at Paine?
August 29th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Driving home, what in the hell was that? This team needs help, don’t even know where to start………..
August 29th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
we know we can run but we are not good passing team and that is the reason we havent ran too much in preseason
August 29th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
terrapin u are right about the 3-4 bs. we dont have the personnel. dhb needs more thrown to him.the first slant was good but how a bout some screens or running him in motion off a trips set about 5 yards to the sideline just to get him in the groove. they dont seem to open things up for him enuff. that one throw russell made to jlh was high but catchable. that shouldve been heybey on that play. jlh cant adjust to any ball thrown around him unless its perfect and hes still iffy catching the ball. im more concerned with his hands than heybey.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
we can rush for 200+ yards everygame everybody knows that
August 29th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Cancun – I think you’re taking it a bit too far. That team came out flat on defense and you can tell. I wonder about the DCoordinator and the Talent on that side of the ball. NEEDED: SLB, MLB, RDE, DT
I want a beast at RDE – A BEAST!
Russell looked good and the offense INITIALLY looked good. Defense stayed on the field way too long – their own fault – keeping the O on the sidelines to go cold turkey.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Raider75, I owe you & VegasRaider an apology for the harsh words. I watched the rest of your video I agree with most of it. I’m not dogmatic. Thanks.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
ya defense didnt play good but you guys gotta give it sum time because we have a new D cordinator sometimes it takes till midseason for the defense to get on the same page
August 29th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
post 25…Bishop916…I have to agree with you, he’s smoking, sniffing, injecting, drinking or all at the same time…he’s out in outer-space that’s for sure.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
we gotta keep gary russell he showed some nifty moves out there lets c what he does next week

ahh..the “toss out tons of crap before the game” but when it comes to backing up your words, you now just want to bow out??
easy to predict with you.
Hey, it’s a tempting offer, to be sure..but I think I’ll decline.
You’re just one of many I’ve schooled.
And as you know, after a long hot summer, school has just begun
August 29th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Armond – That no blitzing with the 3-4 scheme is the worst! You are right GET DHB THE BALL! They aren’t calling many plays for him except the deep stuff where he’s getting doubled.
Hint though ….a lot of those end-arounds that Murphy is getting, are DHB plays in the regular season. Watch.
JLH has dropped passes every single game this preseason. And they were all catchable.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
Raiderz408…sorry, but it has nothing to do with our defensive coordinator, it the quality of our defensive linemen and weak linebackers…we need a lot of help in those areas, as well as our offensive line.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
the defense is at fault for draining the energy out this game and the stadium.no pass rush and no pressure put on the wrs. 2 much open space for them to catch and run. clearly the d is worse than last year. lbs are soft as hell. we need 2 new starters at lb next year. we better make a move to go after peppers as well.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
No sweat TW.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
This defense needs ATTITUDE. PERIOD!
Watch Baltimore’s defense. Watch any other good defense in the league and they all play with intensity and fire. They pump each other up. This defense? Nope.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Remove all of our turnovers and penalties, and we can walk away with some positives on offense. On defense, we’re hurting and it’s hard to find any positives.
August 29th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
terp i know i saw dhb run those reverses at maryland. im waiting 2 see them now but maybe they dont wanna expose that yet. this team always seems to play theyre worst on a national stage.u know the worst part is our young o needs reps but they cant get it cuz they WONT get off the field. 3rd and 10 and still give up a 1rst. bryant sack for 8 yard loss on 1rst and give up a 16 yard run on 2nd down. terrible absolutely terrible!!
August 29th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
players that played good in this game
dez bryant
gary russell
August 29th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
rack of schit…
schooled??? are you kidding… i never predicted a great season for this team…
all summer long i have asked who is going to stop the run…
but the difference between me and you is that i am a raider fan and you are a cockroach…
so… in the name of humanity… fuqq off !!!

Dead on regarding Russell??
in regards to what? I am interested to hear your take…
also, the running game is fine… kind of hard to run the ball when you are down 14-0 …..
But continue..
August 29th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
When you don’t pressure the QB this is the result. You don’t have to be a genius to figure it out. If we can either stop the run OR pressure the QB we COULD POSSIBLY win our division.
Unfortunately we can’t do either one well. It was just a glorified scrimmage but we stunk it up out there. If we play like that on opening night, our season is through.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
about to watch Chargers/Falcons to see what San Diego looks like.

August 29th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
also why dont we fake a slant and go up top to heybey? they should make it a priority next week to get him the ball.cable blew it by passing too much early on. this was a time to see bush and dmc without fargas interferring and he kept passing. on the 3rd play that was a fumble wouldve been the time to get bush on a delay with that blitz coming around the corner. after that the d wussed out.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
That defense killed everybody – offense, fans, commentators and themselves. They’re just suicide bombers.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
Why do the choose to wear black when it’s 98 degrees?
August 29th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
These guys gave up, it was sad to see.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
so much for redemption
August 29th, 2009 at 5:11 pm
if you want attitude on d next year then brandon spikes is our man. im convinced that alot of these guys dont have that it factor.weve been bad for so long that u dont see how bad u really are. no need to change what they are but where they are. get emm outta here.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:11 pm
Did I mention that I hate the infield?
August 29th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
coaches are 2 busy talking up shemes and technique like these guys dont know how to play but they do they just cant or wont do it. they lack spirit and overall talent as a unit. new dc and guys are still lining up wrong and pointing right before the snap. we cleaned house mostly on offense now its time ti do it on defense.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Raiders fans should take a deep breath and calm down. It was only a preseason game. You always learn from your mistakes. The Raiders are gonna watch the game film and make some adjustments. I can’t believe there are people on this blog who think that a preseason game proves anything.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
No question it was ugly, but it is only the pre season. But the D needs to take a hard look in the Mirror.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
I’m getting sick of paying nearly 600$ a weekend to take my family to games, just to be humiliated………..everything looks like it’s getting better on paper______but this is the same eff’ing Raiders!! Where’s the intensity?!??
And f** k ur server……..of course I’m posting too fast—–I’m angry!!!!!
August 29th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
It is preseason but it did look pretty bad I think Eugene has to go. S williams, T Sands I hope. Nixon Bryant and Joseph Looked like they were playing pretty well last 2 games need to keep them around need some new faces What Happened with Henderson looked like alot of preasure on JRuss
August 29th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
it is only a preseason game but if coach cable says he is dissapointed then it is more than that.there is no way the d should get any confidence from the fans with that display. no bush no thomas and u still get gashed up on the ground with your 1rst team. 2nd string qbs gash us up. no excuses at all for them.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
thats cuz henderson decided to eat all that damn fast food yesterday.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
we will get blown out by SD because we cannot stop the run… LT and Sproles will have a field day
look what Coffee and company did to us
August 29th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
I apologize ya’ll….. But driving home for three hours after that mess…….is annoying, to say the least______
August 29th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
I’ll watch the game tonight, after a 12 of pale and a few other mind numbing enhancers and see if I can find something positive…….but I’m not holding my breath__lol
August 29th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
The only silver lining you can get from today is JRussell is actually getting better and better – noticeably better! He actually looked good.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
We won’t get blown out by SD. I am still confident we are going to beat SD in week 1. One of the strengths of this Raiders team is the run game, yet RBs only had 8 carries the entire game. Obviously the Raiders weren’t playing this game to win. This game was about getting a look at some players and trying new things, which is what preseason games are for.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Cut Everybody on D LOL. Hopefully Cable will get the best Football players and cut the Fat Our Secendary was suppose to be our strong point they been getting picked apart also after Namni & Johnson who do we have Routt then who?Safties just as Bad This team has little depth I say Keep Baker,Huff,Branch & Mitchell Boyd can go practice Squad Eugene Out, always in wrong place Even the new guy from Arena Leauge looked like he wanted to play we need Football Players. Everytime I see Breese Why Did WE take Gibson right before..
August 29th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
I agree with Nordic thats what I was looking at I think Holland may take Miller will see Miller I think wiil clear and make Practice squad Joseph,Bryant,Nixon look like can make it.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Atlanta is throwing the ball on San Diego. Ryan is getting good protection.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
The Millers suck on Kick Off returns! Put Branch back there.
I’m more worried about Sprioles than LT. I’m not so confident this defense can do it. The way that play the game could be out of reach in 5mins.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Anyone getting any post-game stuff on radio or tv?
August 29th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Norv using sproles on a lot of screens….
August 29th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Fumbles,penalties dropped passes and bonehead plays. This team is the biggest joke in the entire NFL.How do you play like this in the most important game in the preseason? Al you’re a stubborn moron and you deserve what your going to get another 4-12 season!!!!!!!! By the way JR is not a franchise QB!!!!!!
August 29th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
This one of the worst defenses I have ever seen in the NFL.They can’t stop the run and have a pathetic small line. The seconadry misses assignments and recievers are open all over the field. They have no pass rush and they have no discipline on Defense. Al Davis should be ashamed of himself for putting this putrid shit product on the field year after year. I hope the Saints win 41-0 maybe Al will get some help on D.This is an embarassment!!!!!!!
August 29th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Get any DT from the eagles and giants FA cuts, any FA cuts LB from Ravens, any OL cuts from NE, any CB cuts from panthers and any WRS cuts from Saints. Seriously, the guys in this team shouldn’t be starters and some shouldn’t be in the NFL. Start scouting players who r going to be cut next week. I would rather have dez Bryant n nick miller instead of
Kelly n walker.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
75-Google ksfo.you’ll hear the radio post game.
August 29th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Lack of pressure on the QBs – thats what it came down to on defense.
Don’t blame the DBs just yet. I can look like an All-Pro given that much time to throw.
Its pressure – no pressure – no way you win on defense
August 29th, 2009 at 5:54 pm

August 29th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
These players are playing without any fear of getting cut, where is the ACCOUNTABILTY?

are you ufckin kidding me????!!!! no reason we should give up 45 points ever!!!! I dont care if its preseason… The D is garbage… I gotta go break something!!!

OK glass half full time… Russ looked good. DHB and Murphy were open alot but Russ didn’t have the time to get it to them. Saints had the best offence in in the NFL last season and Brees is very very good. We still played pretty vanilla. Don’t think I saw more than two blitzes all game.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
the raiders have a good enough offense to win a lot of games if they have a better and stingier defense to keep opponents scoring more than them.
If the offense can be on the field more, they can be very explosive. this is a momentum game.. and I hope our D line can be addressed because it is definitely the weakest link of the team. Howard in the middle might actually be the better based on last year the D was not too bad in many games… just couldn’t close the deal.
perhaps we are not playing hard enough to make sure we get to the opener without injuries… and bust a surprise attack on the chargers who will undermine because of the preseason results and media heads talking smack.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Here’s my take of the game. Sorry for the lengthy post but I NEED to let it out to someone outside the house.
1. first and foremost, the defense was absolutely horrible. I wish I was there so I could boo them in person. My family didn’t like me this afternoon. I was just so dam angry! I mean I understand that our run defense suks a big one… that didn’t surprise me. Its upsetting as crap but it didn’t surprise me. I’ve been in favor of drafting top tier D-linemen the last few years instead of flashy offensive players. But whatever, it is what it is. The thing that really pissed me off was how bad we were at pass defence. We have two of the best corners in the game and we STILL got torn to ribbons. I understand the safties were a big part of that but that still pisses me off(I like tyvon branch, and mitchel for that matter, a lot but waiting for him to get his reps and experiance is aggravating). All of this we need to tighten up on technique and scheme is a load of Bull Sh**! We don’t have talent and we dont have attitude. Next year we need to spend our first 3 picks on a massive DT who clogs the middle(unlike kelly and warren), a LB who trully thrives off of thumping the hell out of people(as jerry has continually suggested), and a DE who can hold the edge(I like Trevor Scott but they need to learn that they can only use him on passing downs. He’s simply too small for the run and gets pushed around.)
2. Jamarcus actually looked really sharp. Everyone has been giving him a hard time but I think he is coming along. The problem with today was the recievers. They dropped SO many passes. If they had actually held onto their passes then Jamarcus would have looked stellar. Plus he was under a lot of pressure. It looked IMO that the O-line didn’t hold their end of the bargain very well either. Don’t bash him for something that isn’t his fault.
3. Our rushing game IS in fact stellar. Problem is that we got so freakin far behind that we couldn’t run the ball. We needed to pass to cath up. Plus, in case anyone has noticed, our running game is most effective when we run the ball ALL game long. Its the fourth quarter where our running game really takes off. Look at games from last year. So judging the run from this game is stupid… u cant legitamitely(sp?) criticize the run.
All in all. Jamarcus and the running game ARE fine. Recievers and defense on the other hand are the worst you can get. They need some serious work. Recievers need reps/experiance and the defense needs to be completely overhauled with the exceptions of Asomugha, Johnson, Branch, Mitchell, and Howard.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
as someone else has stated:
Brees has torn us a new ass hole
August 29th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Niners are getting beat down in Dallas… Look really bad.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
does everyone still believe we need to get rid of Kirk in the middle?people are complaining about the line-what about our LBs?none of them-including Howard looked worth a damn.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
we dont even look like a football team…..
USC could beat us right now……
August 29th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Today we saw what happens when one team blitzes and the other team doesn’t. We also saw what happens when you don’t draft linemen in the first round of the NFL draft. Until Al Davis realizes that the game is won in the trenches, we will continue to suck.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Why is it, the pats can make a Tom Collins out of a grape and soda water, but the Raiders can’t make a magarita out of Patron and Triple Sec?
August 29th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
F@ckin bunch of exspensive quitters…….
The whole team including the announcers…..
this is allmost as bad as a real F@CKin game
I am going to refrain from breaking something else TV is allready over the balcony….
August 29th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Lefy12 – I’ve never bashed Kirk here. I’ve stayed away from it mostly. But there are things I’ve noticed about Kirk that I don’t like – 1. he can’t blitz well/shed blocks 2. i question his level of intensity and how that rubs off of the defense. If you can get someone that doesn’t make me question the above I’m all for (or if Kirk proves me wrong). Otherwise, just keep him there and keep searching for upgrades all over.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
I didn’t see the game yet but it seems the young WR’s stuggled. How did DMC look and Bush?
August 29th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
I broke something and I feel a lil better… God help me its gonna be a long season.. Best I can hope 4 is to see our young Offense gell and become a force in the nfl cuz our D is the same ol isht!!!!
Go RAIDERS!!! 4 life… *sigh

murphy had a rookie game cuz hes a rookie. made some nice plays missed some easy ones. jlh needs to get his act together. hes dropped to manu catchable balls all preseason. our kick return unit has been average at best. the d is incredibly soft physically and mentally. we dont have a bunch of crazed dogs like the REAL LT would say. weve got a bunch of vickalized poodles. im not sure they recovered all the dogs mike vick tortured.

dalla$$ putting it down against frisco,coffe and gore 7 carries 25 yrds
August 29th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Terrapin-don,t get me wrong.i want a better,big smart,run stuffing MLB.but Kirk is the best we have right now.everyone is complaining about the Dline.imo,our biggest weakness is our LBs.its pretty bad when the best looking
lb in the game for us was an UDFA-Nixon.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
BHP, not sure what happened to MBUSH 1 carry. In short we need to fire the whole team…..
August 29th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Kirk, we have two DT’s that were drafted in the 1st rnd. The one that wasn’t even drafted is better than both of them. So what does that say about players drafted in the 1st rnd? Does it even matter?
August 29th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
We have another DT that wasn’t drafted at all and he looks better than any Dlineman in the entire draft>
It doesn’t matter where you get them just get them………..period
August 29th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
priest- didnt see much of bush cuz we were down so early he was taken out. dmc fumbled tho i say he was down. he did juke the shiznit out of somebody and picked up the 1rst down. i know u dont think he has much wiggle but he did on that run. not 2 much to see but when u watch the replay u will wish u didnt. j russ looked better again. dude had 2 many drops from murhpy and higgins again. also that fast food binge mario had came back to BITE HIM IN THE AZZ!!!!! he looked hella slow. get back to your diet mo that shizz was workin for ya!!
August 29th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Priest – Murphy struggled mostly. DHB only caught 1 ball – had another thrown his way – db got to it before him – probably DHBs fault – DHB was streaking down field for a TD but Russell couldn’t connect b/c didn’t have time – blitzer …all accd’g to announcers. But Murphy really struggled. JLH was dropped a pass each Pre * and he dropped another crucial one today.
Through all that mess Russell actually looked good believe it or not. He is really improving.
Bush started but didn’t get many snaps – mostly DMC and he did his thing – if the oline didn’t get flagged to negate his runs.
Defense …well dude, just brace yourself for when you actually do watch it. (pressure was non existent)
August 29th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
This team will never win until the old geezer the stubborn know it all moron Al Davis retires or croaks. He continues to neglect both lines and drafts speed demons who could have been picked in later rounds. The entire league laughs at our picks year after damn year. This defense is one of the worst I have seena as a Raider fan since 71.I’m sick of Al’s bullshit tyrant mentality and his unpredictable strategies. JR should have never been the # 1 pick. They should have taken a lineman this year. The beat goes on and on.Anothet 4- 12 season on tap.Just keep losing baby!
August 29th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
also your boy bryant got a sack on brees only to have the d give up a 16 yard run the next play.

August 29th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
what i really liked about russell was how he handled the rush. he was calm but also effecient if not murphy/higgins. stood in the pocket but also fled the rush and moved away after holding the ball 2 long on the first sack. thats why the fumble aside from being a fumble didnt bother me 2 much. that happens but its how u handle the next few situations that says more about u. he did that well enuff for me. its good to see this cuz there will be times where he will face pressure all day and hes going to need make plays on his own which he did.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
What? 1 touch?? what’s that all about??
Somebodies got a hold card. Are we showing everything or are we playing possum?

Adios, this site sucks……….period
August 29th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
NO PRESSURE ON THE QUARTERBACK. That is in my opinion our NUMBER 1 problem. Not stopping the run is number 2. If we could at least do one or the other, we could actually accomplish something in the AFC West.
Unfortunately we suck at both. I’m disgusted at the Raiders. I still bleed Silver & Black, but today was flat out disgusting.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Anyone SEE the game? Lotta 2nd, 3rd stringers on the D today. No excuses, should’ve been better but still…This unit doesn’t represent our starting unit week one. It better not anyway.
Guys like Desmond Bryant saw lots of time. So did Gerard warren and it wasn’t great. Players like Morlon Greenwood saw time too an it wasn’t good.
Sam Williams is still a terrible linebacker.
Stan Routt needs to be let go or traded.
Cornell Green is just awful.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
i’m otta here-this is bullshit.catch you later tonight Priest.Possum!
BTW,will i appreciate you guys and your FFL but right now people are trying to talk about the game and you know how screwed up this place is.could you please hold off on the FFL talk for a while?PLEASE.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Thec…..
I am pissed!! I thought we were gonna loose this game but damn!!
August 29th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
115. Odds are its going to stay a 4 man rush because Al’s alive…kind of…BUT maybe, just maybe we’re holding back on the blitzes till the season starts.
Tyvon looks like he’s launched when he comes in…
Never know but yeah, trading for a serious pass rushing DE wouldn’t hurt things…
August 29th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
Greg Ellis, CJ, and Nmamdi were the only guy’s on D to play halfway decent. Everyone else was just awful.
Jamarcus looked good for the most part. He will learn from today to get the ball out a little quicker. After the D was just torched for 80 yards and we had two nice quick strikes, would have been a perfect time to run the ball. Bad play-call.
Our WR’s were too concerned with the run-after-catch. Murphy’s first fumble and JLH’s drop were due to them thinking big play, before thinking make the catch, secure the ball and pick up the 1st. Saints WR’s will make a sliding catch and pick up the first, JLH just reached down and let it hit his forearms.

its bad when the first string defense comes in after half supposedly rested against the other teams 2nd and 3rd string and get drove on like that.
jamarcuss didnt look horrible but both lines are horrific this makes me want to puke.
i think murphy will be a good player. it just goes to show we could of took monroe instead of dhb and still got murphy later.
al davis is a piece of sh@t. i believe 75% of our defense couldnt even make another nfl team.
since i live in san diego area it will be another long 16 weeks.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
No injuries!!!!
3 cheers for that

post #108 im up for ffl if its a live draft.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
I was listening to Greg Papa interview Tom Cable, subsequent to the game, on the Raido. Cable stated that he told his guys that “This is not going to DEFINE us.” He reiterated that statement at least three times. Well, Tom, this ABSOLUTELY DOES DEFINE YOU! Actually, if you go to the thesaurus and look up the words Ineptitude, underachiever, loser, overrated, girls, stupid, caca, pp, and such.. you will find these are ALL synonyms for what “Defines” the Raiders, presently. Your job is to CHANGE THAT DEFINITION! We have to live with YOUR CONGLOMERATE PILE OF FAILURE! The whole damn team should walk the plank. “Raiders” Tha loco! The only thing you guys raid is the refrigerator!

Ellis Warren Kelly Scott

The starting front seven. There is not a quality player in the bunch. They are back-ups at best.
It’s going to be a long season.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
why spend millions on a punter we should of spent that money on haynesworth.
just watching hard knocks on hbo makes me sick REY M IS A STUD HE IS BETTER AS A ROOKIE THAN ALL OF OUR LB’S WE COULD OF TRADED UP 2 PICKS AND GOT HIM
I HATE AL DAVIS MAN THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG YEAR NUMBER 7 I FEEL LIKE IM DYING A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH

I hate to burst you guys bubble but 1 draft pick really would not have made that much of a difference. Do you really think Raji would’ve made a difference out there? Stew on that for a moment ….
I can tell you right now; DHB is making a difference on offense even if you don’t see it in *his* numbers yet.

Our defense sucks. I know it’s only preseason, but damn.
August 29th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
El Dirty – I think Priest posted before that they were actually gunning for Rey but Cinci snagged him so they ended up trading down and taking MM. These things happen.
Locomotive – Murphy cannot do what is being asked of DHB or at least not as well. I believe DHB will be better than Murphy when its all said and done.
Why the obsession over Monroe when you got Henderson and maybe what will be a good RT in Barnes?
August 29th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
That defensive performance was more than just one person. Rey can’t play RDE, SLB, DB all at once.
August 29th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
THE AFC WEST BELONGS TO THE FN S.D. CHARGES, until somebody steps up and takes it away. It will not be this pile that will do that. Who does the picking around here? There are no “play-makers” on this squad! All the optimism in the world, as icing on a pile of crap, still smells the same.

I watched the pathetic excuse people called a game. The only positive was the TD and I was on the toilet and missed it AAAARRRGGGHHH!
August 29th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Now that JaMarcus Russell is improving, it’s a good thing we upgraded our lines and middle linebacker spot so we can finally win some games!
Oh wait.
We’re just going to squander Russell’s improvement year after year.
August 29th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Today was a rope-a-dope. They really don’t want anyone to know how good they are until they unleash the beast in the regular season.

Hearing that Neal got cut was pretty surprising. The Raiders need that type of veteran presence. Not to mention Lo blocked for more than one Pro Bowl running back.
August 29th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
Lol we can only hope. I realize we probably won’t play so vanilla in the regular season, but I think it’s safe to say that the D will be a problem.

I hope you guys recognize sarcasm.
August 29th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
I guess I’m not so down on the DHB pick b/c I realize that the most important thing for this franchise right now is the maturation of JR. More important than the defense. And you must surround him with talent- must. Skipping out on that can cause far greater harm than skipping out on a DT here or a LB there.
Peyton Manning – surrounded by 1st round talent. And other organizations have sought to do the same thing when they drafted a QB that high. You have to get him the pieces or else you’re doomed for another 6yrs.
Once JR gets off the ground – which it looks like he is well on his way. Then I’ll join the frantic calls for defense in the 1st round. But I’m sure the Raiders already recognize that JR is on his way and so they’ll begin to shift the focus to defense.
August 29th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
That defense looked awful. No pride, no emotion, and no leadership.
Nnamdi may lead in his skills and work ethic, but the Raiders have no one to grab a facemask of a teammate and get in their face.
They need a real leader on the defense to instill some pride in these guys.
August 29th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Lets look at it like hey last year and the one before we thought looks like we can make playoffs and nothing now we dont exspect much but they come out firing on all cylinders… its a thought
August 29th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
hopefully Ellis and Nami step up
August 29th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
You guys must have forgotten just how bad this offense once was.
August 29th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Someone metioned ran the ball only 6 times 1st half wont happen in real game Passing was being worked on i belief looked ok considering the circumstances Miller looked in form Murphy showed some good hustle
