Ice Cube in Alameda, Nnamdi a spectator
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 at 11:41 am in Oakland Raiders.
O’Shea Jackson, or the artist better known as Ice Cube, was a spectator at Raiders practice Tuesday.
CEO Amy Trask said he is working on a few projects with the club.
Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha is not practicing, and emerged from the facility to the field not in uniform. Also not practicing were cornerback/return specialist Justin Miller (turf toe), running back Justin Fargas (hamstring), safety Rashad Baker (stinger) and safety Michael Huff (quad).
Center John Wade, who practiced for the first time since the Dallas game Monday and still in contention to start, according to Tom Cable was not with the offensive line as they went through drills.
Safety Mike Mitchell, who said he could be returning to practice with another good rehab session, was going through cone drills with a member of the athletic training staff. Kirk Morrison (elbow) was also working to the side.
Returning to practice was linebacker Slade Norris (calf).
Ice Cube has been working on a documentary on the Los Angeles Raiders for ESPN detailing their influence in hip hop culture.

You guys should read Schefter’s report. Says he’ll be out for two weeks, not out through week 2.
If thats 2 weeks starting yesterday, when his injury was evaluated, expect Aso to play in the opener, hes a gamer and everyone on the planet knows we need him.
September 1st, 2009 at 11:46 am
oh, and First, beeyutch. That would be cool if Cube didn’t sell out and go Disney.
His old school sh*t was the business.
Jerry needs to chickity check himself before he wreck himself.

Hey it’s Baby Albert Bigelow! I haven’t seen you whining around here in weeks. I guess with school starting and all, you’ve been busy picking out just the right lunch box to impress the 11th grade chicks.
After all, if you’re going to stand out from the other pimply 10th graders you’ve gotta have a cool box to match your new haircut.
Baby Albert, you will be excited to know that we have a new freaky adolescent on the blog – probably around your age – named Lil Ricky. His favorite holiday ever is Halloween and he can pound a case of Monster energy drinks in about 15 minutes.
You know that poor kid Tweek from South Park? Ricky is him wired x15. He’s only had about an hour of sleep in the past 2 weeks and chewed his toenails off this morning before breakfast.
Anyway, welcome back Baby Albert, you silly little dweeb!

Al…listen…get together with Marshall, Washington and the other people that were in the room when Cable assaulted Hanson and have them report the truth to the police…Cable will then be arrested and you can void his contract based on conduct detrimental to the team.
Then step away as GM, let Madden take over as interim GM to hire a good, young GM and then let that GM hire the coach…the sooner the better…it’s not like we are going to the playoffs this year anyhow…
^^^^^^Boy what a stupid move that would be and it would cause this season to be like last season. A complete waste because of more coaching turmoil.
Now a move like that would be embarassing….
______________________________
Are you still holding out hope for this season? Poor guy…Al Davis gave up on this season when he retained Tom Cable as HC and drafted DHB and Mitchell in the first two rounds…why not blow it up now instead of next January?
September 1st, 2009 at 11:50 am
Jerry McDonald,
Why don’t you get off your ass and get this site fixed? Are the people working on this problem really that dumb that they can’t fix it after several weeks?
September 1st, 2009 at 11:51 am
Everyone chill. I’d bet that Nnamdi plays in Week 1. Even if he doesn’t for some reason, he didn’t play in Week 17 last year vs. Tampa and we beat them (remember that one Jeff Garcia knob slobbers?). And Tampa had a better record than SD last season.
September 1st, 2009 at 11:53 am
Didn’t ESPN have Favre in a Vikings uniform about two months ago? He signed there eventually, but long after ESPN reported it was going to happen. I don’t have an ESPN list of false reports to draw from off the top of my head, but I know they’ve made a ton of them. It’s a common gripe from others in the media. ESPN reports a ton of stuff, maybe 70% of it comes true and they never bother to correct the huge chunk of their reports that are wrong.
Sorry it took so long to get back “Posting comments too quickly” message is back.

Let’s just wait and see what happens in Week 1. I can’t believe all the crybabies on this site throwing in the towel on the season and saying we’re going to get killed by SD.
Give me a break.

esm69, yeah, I’m out in Aurora, I still expect to collect on my bets with the Donkeys. Man, they are worse than us!!!
I heard that Calif is so broke & mismanaged that Arnold decided to burn it down and collect the insurance!!!
lol
September 1st, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Chris, my bet is that Aso starts week 1.
I also believe that the game is a lot closer than most would guess.
Despite the 45-7 debacle vs. NO, I’m sure the coaching staff and player have been looking ahead to this game for some time and may even win it.
There will be a lot of looks we will see in that game we didn’t see in preseason.
More running, more Javon, more DHB.
Less time on the field for defense.
My major concern is not Rivers or LT. Its Sproles. He is their X-Factor and will be weaving in and out of out front 7 and secondary.
Our punt/kick coverage has to be outstanding.
Maybe Mike Mitchell can make an impression early by being ST gunner and knocking Sproles down to about 5′6″
September 1st, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Oh hell, why not? Chris says it is all good…heck, who cares if we can’t stop the run or the pass and our best player might miss the game and we haven’t beat this team in seemingly decades….we got a shot because we beat Tampon Bay last year!!!!
lol
September 1st, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Fargas injured his running back? It appears to be chronic…
September 1st, 2009 at 12:02 pm
My only hope this season is that we sweep the Broncos and KC…maybe we get to 6-10 then…maybe…
September 1st, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Gives Nick Miller a chance to shine returning kick-offs though. And maybe, just maybe Huff at CB. Be funny if we found out Huff is another shut down corner LOL and after all this failure at saftey. Won’t happen though, but it would be funny.
***
AZ: yeah, what idiots we would look like forcing a shutdown corner to play at strong safety. LOL!
I think Justin Miller’s injury opens a door for Rashad Baker, Darrick Brown or John Bowie to make the team – not Nick Miller. and that’s only if Justin lands on IR … Rankin & Higgins can also be used on kick returns
September 1st, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Chris…
i don’t know what our record is going to be like…
i just have one question…
who’s going to stop the run???
oh… that does beg another question…
who’s going to play defense???

cr@p! Baker & Huff are hurt too?
I thought Nnamdi and J Miller was bad enough?
not much depth in the secondary for that Seaturds game, eh?
starters:
CJ, Eugene, Branch, Routt
backups:
Bowie, Brown, Boyd, Hawkins
yikes! Seneca Wallace is going to have a field day

September 1st, 2009 at 12:10 pm
The Raiders are in trouble this year. First, the defense is too small. They are fast, but light, and big offenses will do what the Saints did to our defense–smoke um. Secondly, the offensive line is weak because Carlisle, Green and Satelle are back ups. Come on, Al, what the hell is going on.

Dakota,
There’s stuff to be concerned about. Definitely. The Run D needs to make a huge leap. But I can’t believe how many fans in here are writing off the season because of one preseason meltdown.
One game, even in the regular season doesn’t tell a team’s whole story:
– Last year vs. the Patriots, in WEEK 16, the Cardinals lost 47-7. They were outgained 514 yards to 186. Matt Cassel threw for 345 yards and 3 TDs. LaMont Jordan ran for 2 TDs. It was the Cardinals’ 4th loss in 5 games. In all 4 losses they gave up 35+ points. They went on to roll past Atlanta, Carolina and Philly and came a play or two away from winning the Super Bowl. (I still think they got hosed on that final play where Warner supposedly fumbled and there was no review and the Cards should have been one more play from about the 25-yard line, but that’s a whole other story).
– In 2007, the opening night of the season in which the Giants won the Super Bowl, shutting down Tom Brady, Moss and the rest of the Pats with their kick-azz defense, they lost in Week 1 to the Cowboys, 45-35. They gave up 345 passing yards and 4 TDs to Romo. Dallas ran for another 140+ yards in that game. Giants fans were ready to jump off the Empire State Building after that game.
So, while there is reason to be concerned, you guys can’t get so crazy about one game — preseason no less! And I know it has to do with the last 6 years too. But I didn’t hear 1% of the negativity in here now before the preseason game vs. the Saints.

Chris,
I am glad you can look at the bright side…I hope you are right.
When it comes to the Raiders, I haven’t seen a bright side in so long I don’t know that I could recognize it if it punched me in the face, nor would I believe it until the results are shown on the field…so until I see some regular season wins strung together I am going to continue to doubt this team…
…I can’t just ignore the 1258 yards we gave up on the ground to SF or the 2798 yards of total offense we gave up to N.O….sorry…
September 1st, 2009 at 12:41 pm
One thing that does scare me about this season is the injuries. Seems like we haven’t been hit too hard with that in recent years when we didn’t have the talent. Now that we finally have some talent, IMO, watch us get killed by injuries. Look at who’s down and possibly out for the start of the season:
– No. 1 WR (Schilens)
– No. 1 player (Nnamdi)
– Probable starting RT (Barnes)
– 2nd draft pick (Mitchell)
– Starting MLB (Morrison)
You know the season will be down the tubes if Gradkowski is throwing to Watkins and Tony Stewart in Week 17 with mid-season pickup Kwame Harris guarding his blindside.

Chris has an excellent point. No team has ever gone undefeated in a 16 game format and won the Super Bowl.
08 Steelers, L 31-14 Titans, wk 16
07 Giants, see above
06 Colts, L 44-17, Jaguars, wk 14
05 Steelers, L 26-7, Colts, wk. 12
04 Pats, L 34-20, Steelers, wk 8
(lost preseason games 3-31, 17-20, 0-31)
03 Pats, L 0-31, Bills, wk 1
(Beat Bills 31-0 wk 17)
02 Buccaneers, L 17-7, Steelers, wk. 16
01 Pats, L 30-10, Dolphins, wk 4
00 Ravens…..um, actually they never lost a game by more than 13.
02 Bucs were pretty damn good, as well.
Point is, these are all REGULAR SEASON losses, tough ones, that these teams were able to overcome. I’m not saying we’re Super Bowl talent, just saying you should’nt write this team off yeat and one game does not tell the story of the team.

If that were the case the more appropriate scenario would be Jeff Garcia to DHB, Murphy & Higgins with Pears at RT. Thats if Russell falls flat on his face, Schilens & Walker can’t shake the injury bug, Fargas’ scholarship is revoked and Green gets benched …

I was so frustrated watching that game when Walker went in for a play, they ran inside tackle, then called his # to come off the field. He was standing in the Hudle ready to rock, looked over at the sideline then pointed to himself like he was saying; “ME? I just got in here, and this guy can’t cover me!”.
Needless to say I was bummed.

a couple of years ago leading up to the draft,many of us were begging for lineman.most on here said oh no,we need playmakers who can take it to the house and score from anywhere on the field.we need weapons for our $6o million QB.they kept saying we could get quality lineman lower in the draft,that we should take playmakers at the top.then AD goes out and drafts those weapons in the next 2 drafts.now,those same people are constantly biotching because we don’t use our 1st rd picks to shore up our lines.well,which is it,you can’t have it both ways.

Lefty, you are kidding right? Just because someone wants to draft a special talent like McFadden in round one of a draft doesn’t mean they don’t want the o-line and d-line addressed in the rest of that draft, let alone in the next draft.
I screamed me head off for a DT in the 2008 draft…
…you can have it both ways…pick the special players when they are available (McFadden) and pick players that fix the trenches when no special players are available at the top of the draft…you know, pick a Raji or Monroe over a DHB because he isn’t that special…get it?

Nice work Lifer
This is the year we tack back the division.
We beat the discharge on Monday night 28-27
and we pummel the squaws and mules twice each.
I bet we beat the cowbutts in Dallas also.
Cable wins coach of the year!!
Best year ever!!!
September 1st, 2009 at 1:22 pm

I agree man we have yet to see this version of the raiders take the field in a regular season game…..
maybe not best year ever..but best in the last few years!!! YES

September 1st, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Besides Lefty, you leave out the fact that most of us wanted a certain LT or DE over McFadden, but we knew they weren’t going to be on the board when the Raiders made their selection….you remember that?
The question was select the midgets Dorsey or Ellis, or select McFadden…good choice Al!

yea i get it Dakota.it’s whether YOU deem the player exceptional or not,just like it is whether you deem a coaching candidate appropriate or not.we needed DHB more than we needed Mac.and you don’t know whether or not he will be special.from the looks of things he is what was needed for this offense to have any chance of succeeding.while it could be said we have replacements for Chaz-Murphy,Walker-who would take DHBs place if he were injured?

________________________
That’s correct Lefty it is my opinion, which is what I express on this board…part of being a fan is that you get to question the moves your team makes…especially when they are setting records for futility…and PS, McFadden is about the only reason to tune into a Raiders game right now…and from what it looks like thus far, DHB could be replaced by James Jett.

no,Dakota.i remember every day,many times a day i’d see posts-Dakota says-McFadden,McFadden,McFadden………….the funny thing is,i now believe we went about it the proper way.if we had taken just linemen and ignored the skill positions we’d be the same place we are today except our needs would be different.we all knew the team was terrible before 2007.the problem is,too many expected the team to right itself after 1 or 2 drafts.we now have our skill players-next we can focus on the trenches,but to expect it to happen overnight was being too optimistic.patience is a virtue.

September 1st, 2009 at 1:50 pm
From Clue H:
The Raiders have sucked ever since every kid at my middle school bought a gigantic Raiders Starter jacket to imitate Eazy-E. I lived in a lily-white town in Arizona. I guess the Raiders logo was supposed to lend toughness. But wearing a Starter jacket when it’s 108 degrees outside only lends stupidity.
Which brings me to the Black Hole. Every time the Raiders are on television (so, only if you have Sunday Ticket), the announcers pimp the Black Hole, saying things like “don’t get caught in there wearing a (insert visiting team name) jersey!” Does everyone somehow miss that the Black Hole consists of grown men who paint their faces and wear elaborate homemade costumes? The black hole is one step away from a KISS cover band. Or a local theater production of Cats. Is it supposed to be terrifying that a middle-aged man with a personal seat license looks like Papa Shango? Will I actually be murdered by a plumbing contractor if I jeer JaMarcus Russell throwing it behind another receiver? The answer is no. Fuck the Black Hole. The only thing scary about your team is that people still attend games. And Al Davis, because he’s undead. And perhaps Tom Cable, but they haven’t proved that yet.
And Peelsmiller:
I have a huge raiders fan that sits in front of me at work and he is actually from upstate NY. That’s gay enough as it is. (Ed. Note: Agreed. The Raider tend to have a lot of carpetbagger fans.) He came into work the day after they beat the Cowboys 31-10, in the preseason opener, grinning from ear to ear like he just got away with killing a
hooker. We all know it was a preseason game but this wrinkled scrotal bag was jumping around the office like they just won the fuckin Super Bowl. It made me physically sick to listen to him rant about how “the Black Hole is back.” He was ready to offer contract extensions to every player and coach on the team. I wonder what it’s like to root for such a mediocre team that you celebrate a preseason win by practically making a fake Lombardi trophy out of tin foil. I know we are in a recession and all that shit but I was seriously contemplating giving up my job and just kneeing him in the cock……..is it bad to wish cancer on someone?
I would love one of these guys to say something bad about the Raiders at a bar or game

Richochet, your turn. Give me one example of ESPN bungling an NFL report. They rarely do it. You can argue using sarcasm and ridicule all you want, because you know you have no argument to refute my point. Weak.
========================
Wow..are you naive’, or what?
John Clayton, alone, is responsible for HUNDREDS of false, made up stories..where he states “my sources tell me that it’s a guarantee he’ll never sign with his team. He wants his release”..only to have the SAME GUY report how so and so just signed a record contract, and act as if he not only knew it all along, but that his previous report is now non-existent.
ESPN is KNOWN for making up crap, and then contradicting themselves, and be quite happy doing so.
They KNOW they do it. They also KNOW that without them making up things..(THAT JUST MIGHT COME TRUE) they would basically have very little to discuss.
Yes, twaddle..that’s how it’s done.
You release a “this just in”..it now becomes headline news, at least on their site..their discussion forums will now go into it in detail, sometimes for days, or weeks..and it’s all a hypothetical.
September 1st, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Lefty12,
Man, I was drinking the kool-aid prior to last season…talking up Cable as the o-line coach and how I am sure he could make Kwame Harris a player and how we were maybe going to make the playoffs blah blah blah…
….so I haven’t always been doom and gloom. I just got a bad bad feeling about this year and if I don’t express it now, I may end up shooting up the local Kum & Go after another losing season.

I think all of us would like to keep getting our hopes up every year and a lot of us do but seriously until the draft we have all been waiting for which means o-line and d-line only getting drafted we still have a ways to go. That being said we can be competetive this year but our defense still needs a lot of work guys

Exactly. This is what people don’t realize. They’re building this team from the ground up. I would have done different, but I don’t run the show.
Lets review:
-All the starters from our 2002 squad are gone (except for Shane and Sebass). Meaning we have to start fresh. Most of them were old timers anyway (Gruden).
-We got rid of those who don’t want to be here.
-We have (according to Al) our QB, RBs, and WR of the future.
-We’ve done well in getting TEs and solid cover LBs in later rounds.
This is a work in progress. At the presser announcing Cable as HC, Al more or less said we’re rebuilding. We’ll be better, but if we’re not SB champs this year, don’t be too dissapointed, Nation.
We need another season to get this team ready for playoffs. The DLine and OLine need to be addressed, and I think it will.
We need to keep a few scholarship guys like Kelly and Fargas, but those two at least have some talent.
