Familiar faces among cuts
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, September 4th, 2009 at 3:49 pm in Oakland Raiders.
A few names to keep in mind as some NFL teams begin whittling away at their rosters (the Raiders are no doubt doing it as well, but usually hold on to all information until the last possible second and beyond):
OLB Bruce Davis_Cut by the Steelers, Davis was a third-round draft pick in 2008 who had more than 25 sacks in his junior and senior years at UCLA. His dad happens to be former Raiders offensive tackle Bruce Davis (1979-87). Al Davis has signed legacies before (Grant Irons, son of Gerald Irons, Kevin Smith, son of Charlie Smith).
C Melvin Fowler_Cut by Arizona, Fowler visited the Raiders around the same time as Charlie Frye and before Samson Satele was acquired by trade from Miami. Chris Morris was the surprise starter against Seattle, Satele is struggling and John Wade has missed considerable time with a stinger.
OT Damion McIntosh_Cut by Kansas City, McIntosh, once-upon-a-time, agreed on a contract with the Raiders. Before it was announced, he took a physical _ and failed. McIntosh signed with Miami, where he passed the physical, and has started 74 games in the last four seasons. He has 111 career starts.
C-G Sean Mahan_Cut by Tampa Bay, the National Football Post reports he will visit the Raiders. Mahan can play center or guard. He had no starts in 15 games with the Bucs last year, but started 16 games for Pittsburgh in 2007. He started Tampa Bay’s first two preseason games before being cut.
The Post Thursday night also reported a possible visit and signing from DL Alfonso Boone.
Guessing they’ll pass on Andrew Walter, cut by the Patriots.

September 4th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Where are the DT’s we need?
September 4th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
yeah what about this Davis legacy???
September 4th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Lot of teams making cuts today. Hope the Raiders can find a gem someone else missed or didn’t have room for.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
we need to pick up a better cb and a dt.

September 4th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
does huff start over eugene?? I feel he should
September 4th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
That running back from Oregon who sucker punched the Boise State guy must be the dumbest football player in the country. Maybe the Raiders will draft him.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
hes dumb…. but he did teach that white boy a life lesson
September 4th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
does McIntosh play RT???
September 4th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
that de from boise state must have thought he was in this raider blog where u talk isssh and nothing happens
September 4th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Pls, no, don’t bring any KC trash here
September 4th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Adam Speer was also released by the Falcons. Could play OG or OT.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
A 2008 THIRD ROUND PICK CUT!!!
Where is all the outrage about how poor of a team the Steelers are just screwing up drafts???

September 4th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
I dunno it didnt look like he swung that hard or hit him that hard…just saying
September 4th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
This will be the best year ever because JR is gonna make all the haters eat humble pie, Al will bake it, DHB will serve it and Cable will punch your lights out if you dont eat all of it.

September 4th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
ID take a year suspension from this blog just to hit u the same way.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
As long as Garcia, Gradkowski, NNamdi, and Miller are still on the roster, I’m good. It’s just too bad Al didn’t accidentally release himself. One of these years he’ll do it. He already sued himself accidentally.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Dude,talking for the most part about pro bowlers is senseless since it is nothing but a popularity contest.if there are players who are equally talented,players from teams who the media “likes” will always be chosen over less media friendly teams.Nnamdi is a perfect example.

LOL very good.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Time to go dumpster diving, and put our own refuse out to the curb..
September 4th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Lefty,
The Seahawks and Broncos draft well. The Raiders dont.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
SharkCatcher, a year suspension may do you some good. Perhaps you could take a grammar lesson or two. Maybe, you could even earn your GED.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
I WAS valedictorian of summmer school buddy
September 4th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Sure, Lefty. The pro bowl’s nothing but a popularity contest, except for the Raiders’ who’ve made it. They’ve all earned it, right?
September 4th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
He jumped right up from the punch to fight back but he would never have caught Blount.
That was the fastest Blount ran all night.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
btw,Dude,in a way you are correct.our drafts sucked during the chuckie/allen years for some reason.however,the last few years look like they could turn out pretty good,but we really won’t know for a couple of more years.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Dude
Your cracking again. Quickly go back to RaiderRon.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
You guys are still talking about the dumb white hick getting chin checked for talking shyt after the game? He got socked. It’s over. Blount was never great to begin with. But I’ll bet you this does not affect his prospects of being in the NFL. He’ll be on an NFL roster somewhere in a few years. Guaranteed. Hope he’s still knocking out loudmouth white people talking shyt, too. Nothing wrong with that.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Blount will probably be in jail.

RaiderRon was Dude, two weeks ago. Prior to that he was Dude. He continues to get whipped by all the comments and swears off, all who show him up.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Dell,
Wow, your goin down without even a fight? Pathetic. Here are the questions again…
1) How does USC suck?
2) Lets compare the lists. Go ahead and name the busts
September 4th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Some things are worth going to jail for.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Your are not the Real MaddenRaider. He is much smarter than you.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
MR The NFL should condone it, call it the worldknockout league and players can take cheap shots at each other for your mama is fat jokes
September 4th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Dell,
Your up…..
September 4th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
plunkethead, you’re acting like Blount is the first football player to ever punch someone. Remember a guy named Romanowski? Blount is no less of a thug than Romo. End of story. Anyone who believes otherwise is a hypocritical asshole, and probably a racist to boot.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Thank you, Paine. I don’t know what to make of someone saying that I’m smarter than myself, but I’ll take it.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Walker and Green should both be cut, and you should learn how to spell.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
would you guys take langston walker over cornell green opening night at right tackle weeek 1?
September 4th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
I think you should reexamine my statements. I just took the other side of the arguement to stir the pot when you and others started talking about giving the kid a throne, a crown, and an NFL contract.
I actually thought it was funny as hell. Whitey was all happy on top of the world and BAM, his world and pride was shattered like RTaider Haters hopes when we win the division this year.
Best year ever!!
September 4th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
I see the red flags too…The defense looks worse this year…what happen to the swag from 2 years ago…? the offensive and defensive lines have question marks all over. The Raiders need another cd like fabian washington..like phillip bucannon..an offensive lineman like kevin boothe.Why not bring in brooks for leardership instead of marlongreen wood? yet, I still see the raiders going to the wildcard if they beat sd weeek 1
September 4th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
BEER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!as 4EVA says.

====================
It’s not whether or not a team makes a pick that doesn’t pan out.
It’s that the Raiders have written the book on it, and for some odd reason, seems intent on publishing a new, revised edition, each and every year.
Besides, was a 3rd rounder, which is as big a crap shoot as a 7th.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Who cares about the Steelers draft. They won the Super Bowl. You have no argument.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
4EVA! Your arging with Mr?! This is a guy who backs his arguments with quotes from Wikipedia-the fictional encyclopedia that changes with every entry!

Albert Bigelow Paine Says:
September 4th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Oregon deserved what they got, and Blount deserved the trash talking.
……….
Correct. And, Hout deserved to get socked. Hout shouldn’t have been the one talking the smack. And if you don’t know why, then maybe one day you’ll find yourself getting socked in the jaw by a black guy, too.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
I wonder when the Raiders will start announcing cuts of if they will just wait to do them all at once right at the deadline.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
I’m reading all the post from the last thread and it looks like we all need a game and a win!!
RAIDERS BUMAYE!!!
September 4th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
ENGLANDRAIDER…
The reason mr fights with everyone on the Internet is because he has been bitch-slapped hie whole life by everybody.This is the ONLY place where he cant get phyically bitch-slapped
September 4th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Your ex wife, EnglandRaider? Wow. You’ve come a long way….
September 4th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
What kind of a grown man says “no problemo”!!!
September 4th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
I would love that 2 moist rectum,I would love that 2
September 4th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Mr:
You are absolutely right-I have come a long way, down some very differnt roads.
I’ve been married twice to the same woman and would marry her again tomorrow.
But, it’s not her it’s me.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
EnglandRaider, since you’re in a good mood after visiting your ex wife, I’m sure you can take a lot, if you know what I mean. You probably can’t even walk you took so much from her and her toy.
4evaRetard, you’ve heard my offer for us to meet up. until then, there’s nothing to talk about. Just keep yapping over the internet, and lying about the demographics in small towns in the South, like the racist punk you are.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Bye Bye Dell. Try again next time.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Man, I’m really in a good mood.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Mr:
A person should always be careful about taling about another person’s lady.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
EnglandRaider, stop. It’s disgusting. What happened to you may put you in a good mood but most men wouldn’t feel right. Just keep it to yourself, man. Everyone gets a little kinky but you’re talking about being able to “take it” is really over the line.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Untill then we have plenty 2 talk about fukboy
September 4th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Only you have anything to talk about, 4evaRetard. I’m not interested in your cyber tough talking, your lies, and your racist bullshyt. Just tell me when you’re coming to Cali, punk. I’m done talking to you here, although I will correct your future lies about demographic break downs of southern areas. You tried to lie about Perry, thinking I wouldn’t know because I’ve never been there. Forgot about the internet, didn’t you? Fuqqin redneck dumbass. See you when you get to Cali. in the meantime, I’m done with you.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Mr:
When you meet up with 4EVA, can I be there?
I know Sacramento well, I’m sure I could find the place.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
The Real MaddenRaider Says:
September 4th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
4evaRetard, let me know when you’re in California. I’d love to call you a redneck racist liar right to your toothless, deformed grill. No problemo.
You are a liar moist rectum who has just lost all credibility.I have posted a picture of me here on this blog,well the 408 posted it because I dont know how,and I am neither toothless nor do I have a deformed grill you piece of shit lying fucboy
September 4th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
Sure you can be there, England. I’ll bring a friend, too. No problem. However you guys want to handle it.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:07 pm

Sometimes you talk like you’re a little girl.
Everyone here knows you’re a big girl.

September 4th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
I guess the Raiders haven’t yet figured how they want to spin their pre-season performance. Haven’t heard from Priest yet?
September 4th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
your mama have any kids that lived mr
September 4th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Let me ask you fellers a serious question.
The Raiders were last in Run D last year
Last in Run D this pre-season.
What do you honestly expect from LT Monday Nite?
September 4th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
I wanna be in the next act!
September 4th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
VegasRaider, since you brought up odds, what’s your over/under on Raider wins this year?
September 4th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
I love acting!!! I practice every day!!!
September 4th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
A solid 6
September 4th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Unless Cable has held EVERYTHING back Kell,Lt must be chomping at the bit right about now
September 4th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Kell, I expect SD to run the ball down our throats, against our man/prevent, and I expect us to run the ball less than 20 times. I’d be surprised if we run the ball 15 times.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Don’t think we’re a playoff team, huh Vegas?
September 4th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
6 wins is improvement
September 4th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
MR,
I told you before 9-7, but after this ugly play from the Run D, I say 7-9.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Alright, Vegas. It just doesn’t sound like you think too much more of the team than I do. Neither of us think we’re a playoff team. You think we’ll improve by one freakin’ game. I don’t see how your outlook on the team is a lot more promising than mine. My honest prediction is 4 wins. Yours is 6.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
7-9, and only because I see improvement from the passing offense. Not a lot, but enough to win 2 more games than last season.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Alright, Raider O. It’s getting kind of late to be changing up, but since the season hasn’t started yet? Fair enough. 7 wins it is. Don’t be coming back and claiming 4 wins after we lose to SD. 7’s your call. (It was 9 less than a week ago).
September 4th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
As long as Jamarcus and the team keep improving we will have hope. That’s what it come down to.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
You guys are already backing off of the high predictions after the Saints outing. Wow. Season hasn’t even started yet. And all of a sudden these 9 win predictions are turning into 7 win predictions. Slowly you guys are turning into a bunch of MaddenRaiders (aka, realists!).
September 4th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Vegas, that’s sweet. But 6 wins is your prediction. 6 wins is what you’re willing to go on record with. And there’s not much “hope” in that prediction. We won 5 games last year.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I think we have playoff “potential” if we catch some breaks, and the division is as bad as last year. But obvioulsy this is not a 12 win team.
Off to dinner
September 4th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
KoolKell,
Its not looking good is it. The Raiders neglected the defense and tried to excuse it away. Now they are scrambling to find castoffs to fit into the system.
It is what it is….The Raiders paid Warren, Kelly so much money and Al Davis is always going to give the nod to undersized speed rushers (to stop the pass).
As an observer, I am not expecting anything from this defense this year. Its all about the offense for me.
However, as a fan with a pitcher of kool-aid on the table, I am HOPING that the defense shows up and shuts down LT and those Chargers. Tired of losing to them year after year!
September 4th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Can we cut Al Davis?
September 4th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
MR,
You have to be fair, and so do I. I was hoping that the team has improved the run D by just hiring Marshall and Board, but I was wrong. I can see that we haven’t improved our Run D at all. The preseason showed me that, so I should be able to change my opinion.
I say 7-9, and that’s because our passing offense improved, KC & Denver are sorry, and hope that my team is not that sorry.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Raider O you can change your mind as many times as you want
September 4th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Vegas Raider Says:
September 4th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
As long as Jamarcus and the team keep improving we will have hope. That’s what it come down to.
———————–
Absolutely not. Fools Gold. Stick you head in the sand.
If the Team improves to 7-9, Cable will be fired. The Negative vibes of a losing culture will infect even the most bouyant, and you can take your hopes and stick up your next year.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Vegas, you’re straddling the fence between being an optimistic fan and a realistic handicapper, hence your reputation as “Vegas Raider”. And it won’t work. You can’t be a Vegas, odds making realist and a confident Raider fan at the same time, and the obvious quantum leap in logic in your recent comments illustrates that better than anything. Either be a big fan and predict 9 wins, or just admit we suck.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I’ve watched McInntosh and if he’s cut by KC with their line woes, he’s bad news. The guy was murdered last year by Burgess if that gives you any indea. He’s not a great option or much of an improvement.
Kory Lichtenstieger was released by Denver who has of course the ZBS.
Broncos have former KC center Casey Wiegemann and he’s in like year 13 so if thet let KL go, he must not be any good.
He signed a 4 yr deal with them in like June of 08, so what vers happened he’s been ditched.
we could definitely use help at center, guard and rt baby…
September 4th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Yes you can Vegas
September 4th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Hope we start winning soon…
September 4th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
4eva,
Bro, I though we could do something this year. JR looks good, Chaz was playing great, we drafted a 2 good WRs (IMO), but it’s the SAME SORRY RUN DEFENSE.
How can we really win more than 6/7 games with that Defense? We are not the Colts!
September 4th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Raider O, the bottom line is that you predicted 9 wins, and you’re changing your view based upon the preseason? How weak is that? You predicted 9 wins. Have some faith.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
Oakland played very well a few times last year enough to have walked away with more wins than they had IF the offense had put up any points kids.
Remember? They went 206 plays with out a TD at one point…
lets crank up some our offensive fire power and give our D a break!
September 4th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
I know O it;s not looking 2 good but ya never know
September 4th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
MR,
Have Faith!!!
You are a Funny Dude! I say 7-9 due to our poor Run D, that hasn’t improved over 7 years, and the preseason was an indication of that. IMHO
My call is 7-9. Very simple, and the season haven’t even started.
Call me out, if I change my call.
September 4th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Alright, Raider O. Next July, when camp opens, and you’re predicting 9 wins, I’ll know you’re just going to change it to 7 during the preseason. Why should I take your predictions seriously if you’re just going to change them week after week? This is a game, dude. It’s like gambling in Vegas. You can’t change your bet after you make it. My prediction has been 4 wins since Mr. Senile decided to roll with Cable, and that’s where it stands. Bet you I hit the bull’s eye. And I won’t be phased by a big win here and there. I know we won’t capitalize on it.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
I agree the Raider passing game has improved, with this passing game they may have one 7 games last year.
The problem the Run D has not improved AT ALL.
7 wins. They should be able to handle teams without a running game, how many are there of those?
September 4th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
this is nowhere at all like gambling in Vegas geesh
September 4th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
And I’ll tell you right now, if we beat SD week one? We’ll go to the playoffs. But I’ll just admit I was wrong. But we won’t.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
I say 7-9!
I said 9-7!
I may say 8-8!
September 4th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
that will really flip his lid Raider O
September 4th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
9-7!
September 4th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
MR,
It’s not Vegas!
It’s not a bet!
I can change my mind!
I could care less if you take me seriously or nor.
It’s very simple dude. It’s just a sport man, and you aren’t even a player or part I’d the Org, so why get so worked up over this? I’m sure life has other things you need to worry about.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
9 wins, AZRaider? You going to change it to 5 when we lose to SD week one? To save your credibility? Or will you stand by 9 wins until it’s no longer possible?
September 4th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Ok OK! OK!
No more playing! I say 8-8!
8-8 baby!
September 4th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
LOL. Alright, 8-8. What will it be after SD trounces us?
September 4th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
WTF is going on in here?
9-7!
JAVON WALKER COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR!
LATER!
September 4th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Raider O, your prediction will be the same as mine by week 3.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
SD – L
KC – W
Denver – W
Houston – W
Giants – L
Philly – L
Jets – W
SD – L
KC – W
Bengals – W
Dallas – W (Cowboys will be in turmoil by now)
Steelers – L
Redskins – L
Broncos – W
Browns – W
Ravens – L
9-7
I called 8-8 before preseason and I’m sticking to it, but I changed my Cowboys prediction because they have looked really bad this preseason and they will fold this season.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
MR,
I hope not dude, and I hope we win against SD.
It can happen!
Elks Lodge!! Horny Women!!!
Have fun!
LMAO
September 4th, 2009 at 6:47 pm

I mean, I want to believe you, but what I see is 4-12 effort by a bunch of guys just picking up a paycheck.
September 4th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
I see it:

Blount went from a 3rd rd guy to undrafted free agent.

Later Dell.
DEE,
The jets have a good Oline, and a good Defense. They will just run the ball.
September 4th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Raider O, the NY Post, who try to play up NY teams, isn’t pushing Jets, this could be a W for us, if we’re prepared, IMHO!
September 4th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
860Todd,
I hope you’re right, but I have no faith in this Run D. Also, the Oline right of Gallery still needs improvement.
We need Chaz & Barnes Healthy, we need to add some help to our Dline, and add a true MLB.
September 4th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
We need to add Dline & LBs from:
Steelers
Ravens
Giants
Vikings
They are loaded with talent at those positions.
September 4th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Raider O, AD is severely aware of this, I’m sure, and is studying new FA’s as we write. Hopefully Marshall is doing his magic….The Jinks are having their injury problems as well as we are, things tend to sort themselves out, we shall see..
September 4th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Some teams who make a switch from 4-3 to 3-4 may release good talent that don’t fit in the new scheme like GB.
September 4th, 2009 at 8:00 pm

Forgive me if I’m Not sold on that, but they were aware of this for the last 7 years.

Al thinks we can outscore them to win, that’s why we got Walker. Al has never made it a secret that on 1’st and, or 2nd and, that his team will put up 7 in the first 30 seconds of a game. That really takes an opponents energy away, fighting uphill all game.
September 4th, 2009 at 8:07 pm

September 4th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
They have a great chance to Make the roster, and a good chance of starting at MLB, SLB, and Dline. That should lure them here.

N21, my guess is next year for a D line overhall. We have a decent enough and young O line, maybe a pick or two away, but we don’t have the smash-mouth D line of out past. We are being manhandled for speed above ability, IMHO. We also need to blitz, we give QB’s a month to pass….
September 4th, 2009 at 8:15 pm

So much for Walter’s new “opportunity”.
September 4th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
The Patriots only have 2 QB’s after cutting Andrew Walter.
That tells me 2 things:
1. Walter sucks so bad that the Pats are willing to enter the season thin at QB just to get Walter out of the building.
2. The Patriots are waiting to scoop up whatever QB the Raiders cut, with their fingers crossed for Garcia.
September 4th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
You’re nuts.
Garcia??
When Garcia was released by TB, he sat, with no sniffs from anyone.
Well, except Al, of course.
LAST qb NE picks up is Garcia.
September 4th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Ricochet
I’m nuts? I guess that’s better than stupid. The reason he didn’t sign with anyone was because he insisted on being a starter. No sniffs from anyone?Shows how much you know or remember from mere months ago. Maybe stop smoking so much weed, you memory will come back eventually.
I may be wrong about Garcia, but I guarantee you that the Pats DO NOT go into the season with 2 qb’s and it would not suprise me if it was one of the qb’s the Raiders cut.
I just remebered who Ricochet is and I can’t believe I am even interacting with a known moron. This is the person that talks out of his ass and makes things up to suit his argument like “Cable said that he flipped Hansen over in his chair” and then back tracked when confronted by saying “well I never confirmed that Cable actually said that”.
Don’t expect any more responses from me IDIOT.

Why are people so down on Fargas, he runs like a savage. He is faster than Bush and can break tackles way better than D-Mac. I’m a lot more frustrated with Marshall…that idiot keeps dropping our DT’s back in coverage. WTF!!!
September 4th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
And our DT’s are pushing the o-line back, its our lLB’s that can’t get to the ball, we are in serious trouble with our run-d again.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:20 pm

Did any of you guys catch the Team Value Breakdown which was posted on ESPN and also various newspapers:
The top team was, of course, The Dallas Cowboys, valued at 1.6 Billion dollars. Nice going Jerry Jones, you’re an excellent business man, you have increased your teams value more than a “billion-dollars” since you bought the team.
The lowest valued team, at number 32, is: The Oakland Raiders, of course. They’re valued at 700,000 million.
The article also stated that the Raiders lost 12% in value in 2008 and that they have lost another 7% value in 2009 and still dropping. Nice going Al Davis, you have managed to drop your franchise to the bottom of the heap.
Maybe you should take value in yourself, Mr. Davis, and get “the hell out of Dodge, you freaking idiot.”
September 4th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Al Davis doesn’t have a graceful bone in his body.
September 4th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
KD post #164:
The reason Marshall is dropping linemen into coverage and thus removing any threat of pressure is BECAUSE OF AL DAVIS. You should have learned that ages ago. Davis runs the defensive schemes and our defensive coordinators are people who obey. Fzck Stick, Rob Ryan, played the Davis game and he collected checks for six freaking years. Marshall is old and dried up. Where else can he get a job. He’ll do what Davis wants and Davis doesn’t like to blitz. PERIOD.

The reason the Dallas Cowboys are valued that highly, is because they have a brand new yard. Of course, that yard did not come free. There is debt on that yard, that goes to the Dallas Cowboys. I might have a worth of $100mm. But if I owe $20mm I’m twenty mil in the hole. Tell me how much the Dallas Cowboys are worth as an asset without their debt.

This is just pathetic. Al needs to go.
September 4th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Here, let’s do this again. The cowboys are valued at $1.6b, but either that means they are valued at $3.2 billion minus their $1.6B crib, or they’re broke. Well, they are NOT valued at $3.2B, that I can tell you. And the funny thing about Dallas is their ticket prices in their new crib are $400-500 per seat PER GAME, for some of the decent seats. What that means is they have to win, RIGHT NOW! And in my estimation, they are behind Philly and NYG, in their own DIVISION, more or less in the NFL.
Now let’s be honest, the new Dallas crib is swank! But unless they win it all, RIGHT NOW, They are broke!
September 5th, 2009 at 12:06 am
All I really know is that I’m tired of losing and I’m tired of watching the preseason and some league games on the stupid dirt infield. That’s really sucks, and if the A’s last into the playoffs, we’re forced to see even more games on that crap. That pathetic.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:10 am
Oakland has some of the most die hard fans of any franchise and I KNOW we buy merch to show our alegiance. Raider gear sells all over the world. If we’re broekty broke maybe we should start kicking these boys azzes and making them out play our opponents.
Lets see the EFFORT!!!
September 5th, 2009 at 12:11 am
Good nite guys. Everything this year will hinge on our opener with the dischargers. How we’re going to stop the run is beyond my imagination. And, I expect no pressure from us because Al Davis doesn’t like to blitz. But, worst than that is when he only rushes (3) stinking guys. That sucks beyond all sucking. I’ve even see the dude (Rob Ryan through instructions from Al Davis, I’m sure) just rush two guys and drop back two linemen. That’s entering the gateway to hell. Hell, maybe that is hell?

Again, you DON’T have the most diehard fans.
You have the WORST FAN BASE IN THE NFL, bar none.
READ IT SLOWLY..BAR NONE.
No other team has had more blackouts in the last 10 years than the Raiders have..AND THE RAIDERS HAVE THE SECOND SMALLEST STADIUM IN THE LEAGUE..which means you should be able to sell out easier.
And most teams sell all over the world.
In Rome I saw Cowboy, GB, Niners, Dolphin jerseys…in London pretty much saw almost every team at one point or another.

Point is Al has driven the Raiders into the ground, and you want to instead wonder how much the Cowboys are really worth?
Well, fool, let’s see if your little brain can grasp this.
First off the Cowboy’s aren’t paying for it all..NFL put in 300 mil. tons of taxes on everything…900 plus million from Arlington..but regardless..it’s not a lost leader. The value of the stadium remains.
Besides, the value of the franchise does NOT include a stadium, nitwit.

Al Davis is the only person to have served pro football in such varied capacities as (1) a player personnel assistant, (2) an assistant coach, (3) a head coach, (4) a general manager, (5) a league commissioner and (6) the principal owner and chief executive officer of an NFL team.
Honestly it will be tough to remove Al Davis.

You should read up first.
Been proven a LONG time ago, and many times through the years, including in ‘02 that most people who buy Raider shirts and such aren’t football fans..they like the colors..the silly pirates.
Yes, yes, I know..burst your little bubble..but hey, my money says some of YOU posters first bought your first Raider shirt because you thought it made you a badass (It didn’t..you still got beat up by the girls).
Local channels (bay area 2 and 5) did polls at two different malls..asking people who were wearing raider gear who the qb was. ONE out of ten knew it was Gannon.
NONE OF THE PEOPLE ASKED knew the Raiders were on tv, at that very moment.
sorry buffy, but merchandise doesn’t mean they give a squat about football…

And yeah, he did all that..and also now has tarnished ALL OF THAT by refusing to accept that he NEEDS HELP.

No one will tell him that, no one dares.
See, stubborn people? Really stubborn people? They grow up to be old, stubborn people. A lot of old stubborn people, in some type of power, has made some really dumb decisions that have been costly.
In this case, only costly to the organization, and the fans, but none the less, costly.

Al Davis is not the CEO of the Raiders, and never was. Al Davis couldn’t run a lemonade stand, let alone an NFL franchise. Amy Trask has been the CEO for some time.
Al was never a general manager, either. Until he has the balls to pony up and call himself one, I refuse to call him one, either. He pretends he doesn’t have one, that way he can deflect blame when the team loses, while also take credit when the team wins, because there’s no GM there to credit! During our last good run, Bruce Allen was our GM. Al Davis was nothing more than a meddlesome principal owner.
What the hell is a player personnel assistant? That sounds like something one notch above jock strap collector.
Fuq Al Davis.

This is what gets me about trolls like little ricky (dude was seiously hitting the crack pipe last night by the looks of it) who seems to enjoy rubbing our noses in the fact that we haven’t done too well in recent years and that our owner is a little out there. But fans are fans no matter what.
Why do the niners continue to sell out even though it’s been a long time since they have even sniffed the playoffs since what, 1998? Same reason – fans are fans no matter what. It’s like the trolls suddenly expect us all to say, “Gosh, maybe the trolls are right. I guess I shouldn’t be a fan anymore.” The childishness of the whole troll thing makes me laugh heartily.
September 5th, 2009 at 9:08 am
This is bad!
We are all waiting for the cuts to improve our Run D.

September 5th, 2009 at 9:19 am
to be honest… i don’t believe i have ever been this discouraged going into a season…
maybe it was because i spent so much time between the end of last season and the draft hoping for a draft that addressed the needs as i saw them…
it is clear that my philosophy and Mr Davis’ doesn’t mesh well…
what is clear is that the positions that i identified in my mock draft have been the biggest disappointments so far in this off-season…
DT, DE, MLB, C, OG, RT…
and honestly… there are no number of skill players that will compensate for the lack of quality big uglies in the trenches…
i haven’t given up on this season…
but it ain’t looking good from where i sit…
September 5th, 2009 at 9:20 am
Harrison was cut by Pit and Bal before signing back with pit. Cut players aren’t necessarily scrubs. Take the Giants They might have to cut a Dline man whose pretty good just for the fact their stacked.
September 5th, 2009 at 9:35 am
I can imagine Cutting Nick Miller and then facing him against the BRONCOS. How STUPID that would be!!!
Keep the little guy……Cut Watkins and Holland
September 5th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Giants are stacked at D line and no coincidence that they won a Super Bowl a couple of years ago. (note to Al Davis draft DL not WR DB)
Pitt, Baltimore Washington and Miami will be teams we will look at cuts closely, I am guessing to pick up an extra LB and DT.
September 5th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Florida Pete,
I was disappointed as well with the draft. The positions that were left without an answer are significant positions.
The receiving corps needed some infustion and I like this DHB kid and his attitude. But that’s a pick for a team that is on the cusp of greatness….not a team that is still in the depths of rebuilding. The guy on Sirius Radio said that if you can run the ball and stop the run….you can win games in this league…especially in November, December and January.
The Raiders have holes on the O-Line (run game), a suspect D-Line and Linebacking corps (stop run game)
But Davis is clearly a skill position guy so it is what it is. When its all said and done…Davis is trying to build an Indy Colts type of model WITHOUT THE TALENT AT O-LINE. Colts defense is suspect as well.
I am not going to get worked up about the defense this year. I am going to take the Priest/Oakglenn/HayesDayz model and just cheer them on and hope for the best.
The offense is the group I will be most interested in watching come game day!

=======================================================
The difference is we are talking about finding a cut player to start! Not for depth. To start! That’s not a healthy strategy. The team neglected a couple of key positions and not we have to hope that existing talent “plays better”.
My problem is that the defense just doesn’t appear to play physical enough and seems to get overpowered by physical teams. The front 4 doesn’t get pressure and the linebackers are really big safeties focused on pass coverage.

So, not much to see from the preaseason finale…although I did catch Priest claiming he’d take Rankin over McFadden.
——————————————————
Did he really say that Dakota? LMFAO!
Well we surely have something to talk about the next time he’s in here.
September 5th, 2009 at 9:59 am
The Raiders fan base deserves to be ridiculed. Some of the things that supposed “fans” say here kill me.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:00 am
JHill,
Wasn’t meant to be funny….but its true. Look, Warren is a streaky player. If he can be consistent then maybe we get good play from him. Tommy Kelly is another year removed from knee surgery….Kirk Morrison had over 100 tackles…and Thomas Howard is the fastest linebacker in the league.
We really need Ricky Brown and someone at RDE to step up their games.
So let’s just watch and see what happens….
September 5th, 2009 at 10:02 am
SnB,
Don’t Bother!
When people say they want Tebow, start Garcia, and Call him a bust after a good 1st season is an indication of how ignorant they are.
JR is the Future! Get him an Oline!
Get some help on Dline & MLB!
September 5th, 2009 at 10:02 am
Then there are the people that claim they have been a “fan” of the Raiders since before any of us were born yet they seem to take endless glee and joy from the negativity that surrounds this team.
They put the MORON in oxymoron.

Besides, the value of the franchise does NOT include a stadium, nitwit.
========================================================
Of course the value of a team includes the stadium they play in whether they own it or not. You would have to be a feeble minded idiot to not, oh right, we’re talking rack-o-shit here. I forgot. No one cares what you think rack-o-shit turd. Oh, and how bout dat Michael Craptree??
September 5th, 2009 at 10:05 am
LMAO at Oakglenn
September 5th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Crabtree WILL NOT PLAY in 2009
lmao
September 5th, 2009 at 10:07 am
Al,
Draft Dline, Oline, and LBs ONLY next draft.
NO CBs
NO WRs
NO Ss
NO RBs
Just Dline, Oline, and LBs only!!!!!
September 5th, 2009 at 10:08 am
KK……
Why dont you join the FF? I need some more players and you need for your message to be heard.
They have a message and more people will hear your voice. You might entice more people to demand that Al resign.

I know exactly who you are talking about Dogg and his initials are KK.
KoolKell is a moron. Good call.
Now get back to the barbershop and pretend you are Cedric the Entertainer you ignorant, racist old man.
Guess what FoolKell YOU ARE NOT A RAIDER FAN. And there is nothing that you can say to prove otherwise you moronic old fart!

Agreed! I have a feeling this year will make your statement abundantly clear.
The key to your statement coming true is for Tyvon Branch to play really well.
Mitchell is going to get his shot….if Branch plays well, they can move him to free safety and Mitchell to SS…and not draft Taylor Mays or that kid from Tennessee.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:10 am
Craptree sucks!!!!!
September 5th, 2009 at 10:12 am
BS
These people know who they are without me having to name any names.
Ever since this blog went national there have been so many people that come here only for one thing, to antagonize Raider fans.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:13 am
I like Al, and I don’t want him to retire.
We need to Fix the Front Seven, and we need to stop your crying about Mr. Davis!
September 5th, 2009 at 10:17 am
We should have our own Jerry’s blog cut downs. On the first cut down list:
rack-o-shit, MR, missed-a-brain. They will not be missed.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:17 am
We are not that that bad!
We have Pass rushing DTs in TK , Warren, and Bryant.
We have pass rushing ends in Ellis, Scott, and Matt S.
We have Fast LBs.
We need a NT
We need a Base End, if we are not willing to try Bryant at LE
We need a True MLB who likes to hit more than getting INTs.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:18 am
Raider O
It seems that the crying never stops in here
September 5th, 2009 at 10:19 am
This team is thinking they can just turn a switch come the lst regular season game. It doesn’t work that way. You play like you practice, and from the looks of the last two practice games, we aren’t going to play very well.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:22 am
On Offens:
We need to improve Satele’s calls, or get a new C.
We need a RG
We need a RT
We have talent everywhere else.
We are loaded with talent at
RBs
WRs
TEs

It’s ok, you don’t have to say it. I know that you were talking about Koolkell when you mentioned morons.
Talk about crying, thats all the old man does. What a little bitch KoolKell is. Certainly not a fan of the Raiders. My guess is he is a 9er fan cuz all he does is whine.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:32 am
Now it’s time for the cuts:
Cut Sands
Cut Walker
Cut Green
Cut Garcia
Cut Fargas ( he has heart, but you need a lot more than that to play this game)
September 5th, 2009 at 10:45 am

The offense is ready to go. Would have been nice to have Schilens out there, but Murphy has surprised this camp.
Defense….gotta wait and see I guess
September 5th, 2009 at 10:51 am
Hey nation. Er what time is the draft.? 4 dirtys yahoo ffl
September 5th, 2009 at 10:54 am

September 5th, 2009 at 11:01 am
I can’t wait for the good cuts!
Any news? Steelers, Ravens, Giants, Vikings, and Titans?
September 5th, 2009 at 11:03 am
What the people really want to know is who would win in a fight between LeGarrette Blount and Coach Cable?
September 5th, 2009 at 11:04 am
The OSU is killing Navy!
I don’t like their Run D!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:04 am
Maurice Evans-DL- Giants Sep. 5 – 1:24 pm et
Giants released DE Maurice Evans.
The former Penn Stater flashed serious talent in school before getting suspended. The Giants are just too deep on the defensive line to give him a chance. He’s a candidate for the practice squad.

this guy sounds like he might be owrth a look
September 5th, 2009 at 11:05 am
That’s too much Nnamdi!
LMAO @ Nnamdi on BSPN

Let’s get him!
Get Maurice Evans!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:09 am
He is 6′2 265.
September 5th, 2009 at 11:10 am
I am going to be Don King and see if I can get an exclusive pay per view on HBO to promote the LeGarrette Blount and Coach Cable prize fight.
Right now the odds are 4 to 1 for Cable
September 5th, 2009 at 11:16 am

September 5th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
What up? Im trying to get in on that League!
September 5th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
How about This let’s trade Fargus and pick up some quality D-line or let’s let our scrubs go and pick up some of that d-line action the Giants are letting loss!Them released players are better then our starters!!Then Lets take it back and put in alittle twin back formations McFadden and Bush swinging right to left and every which way!! Then put out wide 4 to 5 wideouts at a time!! 2 step drop for a crap shout of a line and his “great are” should equal something Uncommon to us Winning games!!! I have been playing and coaching football my whole life, It doesn’t much but a smarter game plan then the same one we have been running for six years to change. Changing the players but not the way we play the game does not equal new resolutes!!
September 5th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
i d like to answer that question intelligently however the only game i’ve been able to watch this season is the sehawks game local cable provider doestn’t include nfl network. and my girlfreind was being a tard the whole seahowk game.

September 6th, 2009 at 10:46 am
What happened to the educated Raider fans back in the early 70’s & early 80’s?..The current oakland base are some of the dumbest fans in the entire NFL.
You have dumb beaners & people who have an IQ of 10 commenting on here & talk radio
