Projecting the final 53
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, September 4th, 2009 at 10:23 am in Oakland Raiders.
After sleeping on it (or was I actually put to sleep by preseason football?), here’s a guess at the Raiders’ final 53, suitable to be mocked and ridiculed until the real roster is announced Saturday afternoon:
QUARTERBACKS (3)_JaMarcus Russell, Jeff Garcia, Bruce Gradkowski. Cut_Charlie Frye
Frye was the better athlete and has the stronger arm, but Gradkowski is better on game day and also is very good at assimilating an opponent’s offense and running the scout team as the opposing quarterback each week.
RUNNING BACKS (5)_Darren McFadden, Michael Bush, Justin Fargas, Oren O’Neal, Gary Russell. Cut_Louis Rankin, Luke Lawton, Marcel Reece.
The leading rusher usually gets cut, but I’m guessing Russell’s hard running and experience won him a job. That, and Rankin is eligible for the practice squad, as is Reece.
WIDE RECEIVERS (6)_Chaz Schilens, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Louis Murphy, Johnnie Lee Higgins, Nick Miller. Cut_Todd Watkins, Jonathan Holland.
Tough to carry six at wide receiver, but Nick Miller’s inclusion is justified if he handles kickoff returns, and he’s better as a receiver than Justin Miller is as a cornerback.
OFFENSIVE LINE (9)_LT Mario Henderson, LG Robert Gallery, C Chris Morris, RG Cooper Carlisle, RT Cornell Green, T Khalif Barnes, T Erik Pears, G-T Paul McQuistan, C Samson Satele. Cut_Mark Wilson, James Marten, John Wade, Seth Wand.
One of the things that escaped my notice from afar (as well as the broadcast team) _ Morris was actually in during the first series as the starter, with Satele forced to play the rest of the game. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Raiders watch closely and snag a lineman cut from a zone blocking team after cuts are announced. A good chance for movement here. Protection vs. Seattle was atrocious.
TIGHT ENDS (3)_Zach Miller, Brandon Myers, Tony Stewart. Cut_Darrell Strong.
Easy as 1-2-3. Strong is eligible for the practice squad.
DEFENSIVE LINE (9)_LE Greg Ellis, DT Gerard Warren, DT Tommy Kelly, RE Trevor Scott, E Jay Richardson, DT Desmond Bryant, DE Matt Shaughnessy, DT William Joseph, DT-DE Ryan Boschetti. Cut_DT Terdell Sands, DE Greyson Gunheim.
Another area which could be affected by new blood. The National Football Post is reporting the Raiders could sign ex-Chiefs lineman Alfonso Boone. If so, Boschetti would probably be the first to go. Joseph badly outplayed Sands, who got a $1.9 million roster bonus in the offseason for his trouble. Not sure why they simply didn’t default on it back in March. Gunheim is practice squad eligible.
LINEBACKERS: (6)_SLB Jon Alston or Ricky Brown, MLB Kirk Morrison, WLB Thomas Howard, OLB-MLB Isaiah Ekejiuba, OLB Slade Norris. Cut_MLB-OLB Sam Williams, OLB David Nixon, OLB Morlon Greenwood, MLB Chris O’Neill.
Williams may be playing better in the middle than he ever played on the outside, he’s a solid special teams performer and the owner likes him. He’ll be on speed dial and wait for the call. Don’t be surprised if he’s back before the season is over or even in a couple of weeks. The rest of the keepers appear to be solid, with only the slightest possibility Morrison could be moved. O’Neill is ticketed for the practice squad, and Nixon could join him there.
DEFENSIVE BACKS (9)_RCB Nnamdi Asomugha, LCB Chris Johnson, SS Tyvon Branch, FS Hiram Eugene, CB Stanford Routt, S Mike Mitchell, S Rashad Baker, CB John Bowie, S Michael Huff. Cut_CB Justin Miller, S-CB Michael Hawkins, CB-S Darrick Brown, S Jerome Boyd.
After the first five or six, it’s a lot easier to cut players here than to keep them. Another area where a player who is released by another team could be signed, threatening the positions of Baker and Bowie. Mitchell and Branch are seen as the safeties of the future, but the Mitchell’s hamstring issues make it too risky to cut with Huff at this point. Possibly could have jumped the gun on Justin Miller, but he was poor in coverage against Seattle Nick Miller has shown he can handle the kickoff return duties.
SPECIALISTS (3)_P Shane Lechler, PK Sebastian Janikowski, LS Jon Condo.
Higgins on punt returns, Nick Miller on kickoff returns.

I like it Jerry, but I would cut Fargas and keep Rankin.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:33 am
well it looks like it will work out 4 Rankin.Put him on practice squad,Fargas plays this year then retires,then viola Rankin moves up.Very good moves Big Al

Calvin Johnson look great, and he looks huge on the field.

Rankin 2 IR sorry
September 4th, 2009 at 10:39 am
cut fargas and keep rankin?…are you serious?…I would not keep russell and keep rankin,…we need fargas…sorry brien.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:43 am
Sam Williams and John Bowie are on scholarship, and I don’t see N. Miller replacing, J. Miller, so look for some surprise cuts…

September 4th, 2009 at 10:45 am
Per PFT, Pats cut Walter. LOL
September 4th, 2009 at 10:46 am
Ellis, Warren, Kelly, Richardson line isn’t so bad w/ Bryant Shaughnessey and Scott in to spell them. Scott should only play pass downs and Shaughnessey needs alot of improving to do the be a base end but Bryant as a backup is really looking solid out there. I’m really starting to worry more about the right side of our Oline starting at Center. Didn’t see this as much of an issue initially but we could be in trouble
September 4th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Norco wants to keep Fargas.
Norco wants to cut Jamarcus.
Al doesn’t need a GM. He has Boob to show him exactly what not to do.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Plunketthead, better clean up Andrew’s old room LOLOLOL.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Agree with everything except Boschetti and Bowie sticking.
Also, leadership issues aside, I’d cut Fargas and keep Rankin. Rankin is younger, cheaper and has the best vision of any back on the team. He could be a gem. Highly doubt Fargas gets cut though.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:52 am
Guarantee of the day:
Pats will sign whichever QB we cut. Those cats in New England love mooching off our surplus stock of talent.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:56 am
As I stated B4 last draft…If we cant draft Mack,lets give Morris a shot.He’s from Michigan St and the Big 10 is known for power running games.I think Morris will be an up-grade over anyone we had since Robbins

Morris was not even All Big Ten and we don’t run a power scheme. Morris is smart with the calls and gritty but still undersized. I worry 3-4 NTs will eat him alive.
Maybe Satele can play RG if the main problem is line calls. I thought Satele looked pretty OK last night, albeit against scrubs.
Also, it is time to give respect to Mr. Gallery. He has finally become a man.
September 4th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Undersized???
He’s an inch taller than Robbins and 9 pounds lighter
September 4th, 2009 at 11:07 am

4eva, Adam Treu was as big as Robbins too. Was he as powerful? Size does not always equal strength (ask Terdell). Plus, just look at Morris on the field. Shortest guy on the line. Big arms, average “lowers”.
September 4th, 2009 at 11:23 am
Ok Bo I agree.That’s why I really really wanted Mack.Last time we were dominate,we had a dominating center
September 4th, 2009 at 11:25 am
Actually, Robbins played at 320 and Morris is at 305…

I wanted Loadholt, I understand. And I liked Newberry if he could only stop bobbing his head at the snap.
September 4th, 2009 at 11:27 am
In a few weeks I could see our line becoming:
Mario Gallery Morris Satele Khalid
September 4th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Man Bo did you happen 2C Loadholt open that hole 4 Peterson on Favre’s 1 play in Minnasota???Kid looks awesome,imo
September 4th, 2009 at 11:33 am
That stupid Hillbilly asshole from Boise State deserved what he got yesterday. I’m not an Oregon fan but talking shit after a game like that is not cool!! I remember Matt Millen doing the same thing to a player/coach vs the Patriots when the Raiders were in L.A………That guy should now get into Boxing because by the looks of it there will be no more football in his future!!
September 4th, 2009 at 11:33 am
They could probably get a pick or two for Fargas. Ive liked him since seeing him in the preseason as a rookie, but he needs to go if keeping him equates to less touches for Bush and Mcfadden.
September 4th, 2009 at 11:34 am
and is Walker the 6th WR?
September 4th, 2009 at 11:42 am
Yeah, a lot of us diehards have been screaming trade Fargas for at least a year now, and now it might be too late to get any good value being he showed nothing in the Preseason. But we still need to try to trade him, especially if we keep Russell. We’ll be good with that three headed monster.
Why not TRADE Garcia? He’s easily the best backup in the league and several teams would love to have him. Surprise me Al! Do something big within the next few days to help the right side our line!
September 4th, 2009 at 11:44 am
All I know is I was hyping Loadholt as our RT since last college football season. My plan: trade down, get Maualuga and Loadholt in the late 1st.
Mothertrucker.
Anyone else think we could use a bone-crushing MLB and road-grading RT right about now?
September 4th, 2009 at 11:49 am
Bo hahaha I was gonna retire and live the luxurious life on the millions he was gonna make.
I actually thought Bellicheat was gonna make us pay for treating my boy so crappy. I guess he wasnt worth a dam afterall.
September 4th, 2009 at 11:49 am
just the WHOLE NATION Chris
September 4th, 2009 at 11:55 am
Who is Andrew Walter going to blame now that he was cut by both the most unstable organization (Raiders) and the most stable (The Pats)?
September 4th, 2009 at 11:55 am
…and AZ Raider is the next Nostradamus!
9-7!
JAVON WALKER COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR!
950+ FOR CHAZ AFTER HE’S BACK!
GALLERY TO THE PROBOWL!
DARRIUS HEYWARD-BEY 1ST TEAM PROBOWL 2011!
3000+ PASSING YARDS FOR RUSSELL!
2 1000 YARD BACKS FOR EVA!
DRINK IT?
September 4th, 2009 at 11:59 am
AZ Raider, I want some of whatever you are drinking. Must be some good Ish.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
I ‘ve already heard reports that D. Branch of Seattle may get cut, would we/ should we consider him over Mr. J. Walker, also heard J Lewis of Cleveland verge of getting cut, so we could trade one of our RBs for a higher draft pick or quality lineman (off or def or LB that can tackle)
cut Mr. Bowie & Keep Mr. Rankin, we will simply be even deeper at RB,
Mr. G. Russell has been great at special teams
so this will give us more depth amd more skill,
KEEP THE BEST PLAYERS; regardless of position
we will have more leverage in trade
September 4th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
cut farglass,sands,walker green and garbage-cia

I liked the trade down idea but I would have went with Loadholt and Mack/Unger and gotten the MLB Brinkley later.
I also wanted to offer our #1 pick for Lance Briggs. He is exactly the type of LB we are lacking.

AZ Raider,
I found this picture of you online:

September 4th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
I agree with the list that it’s time to cut Justin Miller. They also need to look at cuts on other teams and see if they can also replace John Bowie. Those two were our worst corners this and last offseason.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Walker cant play anymore. I dontneed him on 3rd down. He aint getting separation from anyone
September 4th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Beech has a strange fantasy life…
September 4th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
J. Miller stinks as a CB and John Bowie for Randy Moss lol
September 4th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
I agree probably the most interesting question is which Miller will be returning Kickoffs. Its hard to justify cutting a guy that had 2 KO TDs last year with a UFA who has a few questions regarding fumbles. I think Justin Miller wins the job.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
RaiderDee, for once in your life, you’re right. The Oregon State player, LeGarrette Blount, comes from a town called Perry, Florida, in the Florida panhandle, where racism is rampant. Perry is about half white and half black, and is a fairly poor town. Long story short, Blount is not going to take any crap from some spoiled brat from Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho. There was once a time where people like Byron Hout knew better than to antagonize people like Blount, but the Bush era did away with that. So every now and then, somebody has to get socked in their jaw. Give Blount credit for apologizing. He didn’t have to, in my eyes. And I’m as white as a ghost. Barkley and Ali wouldn’t have a apologized for it. You don’t have to apologize for defending your honor. I can only imagine what Hout was saying to him. I’m sure the word “thug” was in there somewhere, and we all know what “thug” is a euphemism for these days. He deserved to get socked. But the media’s going to make Hout the victim and Blount another black thug athlete. Blount’s finished. But at least Hout will have a little cackle in his jaw to remind him what will happen the next time he lips off to someone he has no business lipping off to.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Beecher, instead of worrying about us Raiders, you should be out canvassing so prop 8 can get overturned so you and your west hollywood lover can live in peace finally. I know it must be tough when neighbors interrupt ya favorite reality TV shows with taunts over your sexuality. You and your Rudy Galindo looking mate just keep up the good fight. Someone will accept you two holding hands in your pink Voloure jumpsuit
September 4th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
LaGarrette Blount is Tom Cable’s illegitmate son! Awesome. That was a great punch. That boise state player is lucky that he turned his face. If he was straight on he would have gotten slepted even worse
September 4th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
MR = wannabe blog thug
September 4th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
All I saw was some pu@#y with anger management issues who suckered punch a player and RAN away after hitting him.
And you blamed Bush. That has to be one of your top ten lamest posts ever.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
I thought your Grandfather died, Brien?
September 4th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Blount will make the practice squad in 2010!
September 4th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Blount= living proof of a puncher’s chance
Hout deserved to get slept and I wish he would have hit that hillbilly fan. That would have been great!
September 4th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Plunket, of course he ran after hitting him. A black guy hits a white guy, and police will be on the scene fast. He was running from the cops, moron. Hout didn’t even give chase. He was dazed from the punch.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
As far as him having anger management issues…any American right now who doesn’t have anger management issues is either high or has their head up their ass, or is on Wall Street reaping the benefits of the disaster this country’s in. And I’m telling you, a white guy from Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho having the gall to mouth off to a black guy from Perry, Florida has issues of his own. Well, not anymore. He won’t be doing it again.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
But the media’s going to make Hout the victim and Blount another black thug athlete. Blount’s finished.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
All I know is that that the unfortunate scholar athlete from Idaho was victimized by that ignorant thug Blount from Florida. Lock him up twice. What kind of name is LaGarrette anyway?
Feel better now MR?
September 4th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
He he he, another hilarious post full of classic Brian the Genital comedy! Normally this kind of material costs $25 and a two drink minimum to hear.
Brian, honestly, did your granpappy Krappy even make it to the game before filling his shorts with liquid fudge? That old dog was so amped he was probably mainlining Metamucil all morning. There is no way he didn’t have a chocolate explosion in your ride on the way to the game.
Come correct now, little Genital. The good people need a straight answer out of you, silly buns! Don’t try to sidestep it again with your wicked brand of European fashion humor.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
He didnt run! Fuk where you guys looking at. That backward pedal was a war time move since he was around alot ofthe boise state players. He was ready to sleep whoever wantedit. Boise is soft as fuk! Those players should have scraped cuzz cuzz. My teammate will never get worked over like that and I dont do shit. I guarantee you that Boise doesnt make the BCS this year. They dont deserve it! They will blow it
September 4th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
I thought that was pretty damn funny how that guy started mouthing off unnecessarily after the game like a punk and got totally rocked in the jaw. The look on his face just after he got hit is priceless.
Blount’s a good player too. He’s no scrub. I’ll take him as a Raider in 2010. Clocking some dude from “the Broncos” in the face after a game. That’s old-school Raider style.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
He was victimized alright, Bo. That look on his face after getting socked was priceless. Read his lips. He says, “mommy, help”.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Brien, I didn’t see him run either. He was back peddling because where he grew up, usually fights turn into gang fights. He was waiting for one of Hout’s boys to hit him from the side. That’s just how you fight growing up in the environment that Blount did. The point I made was that if he were running, it was from the cops, not any of those lames from Boise State. They weren’t even chasing him. They were all scared.

Bo was just calling him a thug because I said the media was going to call him a thug. Bo doesn’t even know what a thug is. According to the actual definition of the word, John Herrera is a thug. Physically confronting a journalist for asking a question is thug behavior. Blount just socked a white boy who had it coming.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Bo, I don’t know what Cable’s situation was. Whatever the case, Cable is not Blount, and didn’t grow up under the conditions that Blount did. No matter how you cut it, there was a racial context to Hout’s mouthing off to Blount. Chalk it up to a total lack of street smarts. Hout’s from a sheltered environment, and simply doesn’t get it. I’m sure he does now, though.

Brian, I really don’t understand why you constantly backtrack. You should be proud of who you are and the family you come from.
First you say your build is about equal to Tyra Banks or an equally big boned fashion model. Then in a desperate act of humiliation you try to say you more closely resemble a very slender junior high school receiver with an eating disorder.
And just last week you called Krappy your grandfather and now you’re trying to convince the Nation otherwise. You’re starting to remind me of Jane Fonda, Brian – how are we going to expected to believe you’re anti-communist when we just saw pictures of you cavorting with the enemy?
Brian the Genital, the bottom line is you just need to be honest with yourself. There is no way all the cool bloggers can get pumped for the season until you come clean.
Do it for The Nation, Brian – if you won’t do it for yourself!

Raider O…post #3
If you were ever right in your life time, this is it. There is no doubt whatsoever that Fargas, even though he’s well liked and he’s been loyal, etc., has to go. He’s always injured, he’s older and less durable and he just doesn’t match up closely with Rankin. Rankin was a hog in College, he’s shown he can be a hog here and he much much younger with a bigger future ahead of him. Dump fargas, keep RANKIN….PERIOD.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
The world’s not as simple as you think, either, Bo. And your comments on this topic so far have been pretty simple minded.

Raider75 if you think this was merely a case of two guys fighting you’re just revealing yourself to be as dumb of a rube as Bryon Hout was. You don’t think Hout knew what he was doing, and who he was lipping off to, and what kind of environment Blount comes from? If Blount wouldn’t have done anything, Hout would be bragging today about how he “told that boy off”. That’s why Blount stole on him. Get a clue.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Well to me it had nada to do with him being a white guy. That isnt more important than the guy trying to get his jollies off directly after the game showing the guy up by slapping his shoulder. If it was a black guy that did that to a white guy Id feel the same way…………. Sleep that punk for trying to add fuel to the fire.
September 4th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Blount may be a tough guy with his helmet off, but he is a GIANT PUSSY with it on. 10 carries for -8 yards, he got manhandled and slapped around a lot harder than they punch he threw. Not to mention he went from a 2nd or 3rd round pick to undraftable.

Brian, I really don’t understand why you constantly backtrack. You should be proud of who you are and the family you come from.
First you say your build is about equal to Tyra Banks or an equally big boned fashion model. Then in a desperate act of humiliation you try to say you more closely resemble a very slender junior high school receiver with an eating disorder.
And just last week you called Krappy your grandfather and now you’re trying to convince the Nation otherwise. You’re starting to remind me of Jane Fonda, Brian – how are we going to expected to believe you’re anti-communist when we just saw pictures of you cavorting with the enemy?
Brian the Genital, the bottom line is you just need to be honest with yourself. There is no way all the cool bloggers can get pumped for the season until you come clean.
Do it for The Nation, Brian – if you won’t do it for yourself!

Oh, BTW Blount gpt beat in a game in which he sucked. Winners get to gloat, black or white, and losers get a lesson in perspective. Reality sucks.

Plus the dude was running his mouth in the papers before the game, and got slapped around on the field, and than couldn’t man up and take his beating like a man. He acted like a child and cost himself hundreds of thousands of dollars, and potentially a college scholarship. For what, to keep it real? Think of the Chappelle, when keeping it real goes so wrong.

September 4th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
MR…FYI,Perry florida is about 98% black,always has been.There aint no white/black gangs running around.As a matter of fact,the only time white people go there is during hunting season and they rent rooms and then leave.When it’s red-snapper season white people come again.We fill their coffers with money from food,taxidermy and hunting and fishing supplies.Never have I had ANY RACIAL problems in Perry Florida.It’s RATHER nice there…kinda like a black Mayberry if you will and I have never seen any fights between white and blacks.That sh!t is for the movies

Totally true! I cannot disagree with the fact he was getting smacked all night. What I do have issue with is the fact he wont be drafted. Bullshit. If he gets suspended for a few games then comes back and plays well along with a good pro day someone will take that chance. I dont buy that ESPN story for a second

Hope you guys remember me. I got pissed and left for a bit during the Davis v. Kiffin war! Anyways, I’m back (never really left) ’cause I love my Raiders! Been checking in everyday with bloggin’. Yo Jerry, I agree with most of your conclusions but it looks like you forgot Yvonne at WR!

September 4th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
As of now….have to keep Fargas due to his blocking, toughness and leadership ahead of Rankin…however, once Fargas or anyone of the RB’s gets hurt….Rankin will be called up quickly from the practice squad I’m sure.
I wonder if Rankin can play special teams though?

Dudette, those tequila shots are much more credible than the moonshine you’re hacking down if you don’t see Farglass does nothing to bring explosiveness to the offense like Rankin would. Ranking can run better and catch better and will cost much less. Not saying Al will let it happen due to his scholarship program, but Farglass as the 3rd RB at an expensive price is stupid.
You also miss the fact Farglass aint good

And 4eva, show me where I said there were white gangs in Perry? I said the city was half black and half white, and that there is racism in the panhandle. Go ahead and try to deny that. The only way you can win an argument is by twisting people’s words. Give up.
September 4th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Oh, the census stats are wrong, 4evaRaider? Don’t believe everything I read, like the census numbers? Yeh, moron. Black people in Perry must have claimed they were white on their census questionnaires. You have just burst right through the moron meter, idiot. You’re beyond help.
September 4th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
So maybe undraftable is off, but teams are scared of these “character issue” guys, and talented RB’s are a dime a dozen right now. Hell we have 3 maybe 4 of them.
This kid needs to learn that if he wants to make a lot of money, in any field not just football, he needs to drop that macho nonsense and be a man that is held accountable to his peers. Employers google your name before you get hired these days, this will stick with him the rest of his life. He has plenty of opportunities to turn his life around, but he better hurry up.
Plus, Phil Knight and the Pac-10 commissioner were in attendance. You don’t make the CEO look stupid, that will get you nowhere fast.

Wrong. It most certainly DID affect his draft status. Blount stank during the game, and would have been a late rounder at best before the incident. Now no team will take a risk on such a head case.

And 4evaRaider’s latest effort to explain his proven lie is to claim he hasn’t been to Perry in 10 years. The census stats are from 2000, the questionnaires being handed out in 1999. The numbers are from 10 years ago! 4evaRaider, take a deep breath. Power down your computer. Close your eyes for about 10 minutes and breath slowly, then log back on. You’re fuqqin owned, kiddo.
September 4th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Anyone else a little concerned with Nick Miller on kick-off duties. Miller didn’t look good this preseason, and is as much of a DB as I am, but Miller still scares me a little.
He does look a lot more comfy on Kickoff’s than he does punts. He fumbled the punt in the SF game, called for a fair catch at the 4 yard line yesterday, and never runs up and makes the fair catch on the short punts, and lets 35 yard punts roll into 50 yarders.
But Jerry is right, Miller is much more of a WR than Miller is a DB.

Bo, if you want to live your life in denial of the fact that the NFL just reinstated Michael Vick, and the Philadelphia Eagles, one of the league’s rosie, pampered east coast franchises, took a shot on Vick, go ahead. Blount socked a guy, and you’re saying he’s hurt his draft status because of that alone? Give me a break. And, I agree with you guys about his performance hurting his draft status. I’m talking about the punch. Vegas referenced the Dave Chapelle skit, “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong”. Doesn’t apply here. This is football we’re talking about, and someone’s status as a future NFL player. It’s unaffected by this. The NFL does not care about violence.
September 4th, 2009 at 1:15 pm

“A Boy Named LaGarrette”
My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn’t leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don’t blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me “LaGarrette.”
Well, he must o’ thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a’ lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I’d get red
And some guy’d laugh and I’d bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain’t easy for a boy named “LaGarrette.”
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I’d roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I’d search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I’d stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me “LaGarrette.”
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother’d had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: “My name is ‘LaGarrette!’ How do you do!
Now your gonna die!!”
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a’ gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell ya, I’ve fought tougher men
But I really can’t remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin’ at me and I saw him smile.
And he said: “Son, this world is rough
And if a man’s gonna make it, he’s gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn’t be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you’d have to get tough or die
And it’s the name that helped to make you strong.”
He said: “Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn’t blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I’m the son-of-a-bitch that named you “LaGarrette.’”
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I’m gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but LaGarrette! I still hate that name!

4eva, I never claimed to have known anything about Perry. Everything I’ve said about the town is based on the census numbers posted at Wikipeida. You, on the other hand, said, and I quote, that Perry is “98% black”. It’s not. Not even close. In fact, it’s about 55% white. You lied. Period. And were caught. The more you fight it the dumber you look. So carry on, idiot.

Dude you cant be serious man. I wont doubt Farglass starts as the number 2 since Cable and Al are nuts. But you were saying all along he will start and that aint true. Through the course of the season it will be obvious Bush needs to be on the field more than Farglass. Just from a versatility aspect you do that.
We wouldnt be debating this if the team was smart and let Farglass go. Ranking brings a whole other dimension to the the stable that wasn’t there with Farglass. He is a dual threat scatback who can make people miss. He can really tear up some screen plays on and draw plays as the 3rd back. Farglass does what………block for you on 3rd down?

MR,
If you don’t think this will stick with him for awhile, you are crazy. In fairness, the one place that would probably care the least about it is the NFL, but the real world would consider this guy untouchable.
Quick story, in my job search the last few months, I interviewed at a place and they googled my name before I came in. Turns out I created a word on urban dictionary cracking on my buddy and used my real name as the author. This was about 6 years ago, and when I go in for the interview they called me on it. This guy’s toast if the google him in a few years for any decent job.

Bo, you’re calling me a “screen beret” when I’ve certainly never threatened anyone. Accusing someone else of starting a fight when they’re not is a tactic of starting a fight in and of itself. It’s like brushing up against someone, then saying they bumped into you. So, you are being an internet tough guy. Both you and 4evaRaider are. And, I don’t blame you guys. Davis kool aid drinkers don’t have a lot to be happy about these days.

Do you pretend to believe Farglass is better than Bush?
Do you pretend you know anything?

Bo, Bob is my Raider brother and you can’t get me to deliver one negative word on him. Bob wants to win and wants people out there that wanna win. He wants Russell to be great and is a harsh critic. Even harsher than me. He loves Farglass’ hard nosed play. While I respect Bob I cant roll with Farglass and I’m pretty sure Bob wants DMAC out there to justify that contract.

Here’s my take on the upcoming cuts:
T. Sands – DT
G. Gundhiem – DT
S. Williams – LB
J. Miller – CB
L. Lawton – FB
M. Reece – FB
J. Holland – WR to practice squad
T. Watkins – WR to practice squad
S. Wand – OT
M. Wilson – OG
J. Wade – C to practice squad
J. Marten – OT
D. Strong – TE
J. Boyd – SS
D. Brown – CB
Now the surprises:
J. Garcia – QB
J. Fargas – RB
J. Walker – WR
M. Mitchell – IR
September 4th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Has Bush EVER even ran for 500 yards in a season?
How many DNPs did a perfectly healthy Bush have last year?
Bush has never done a thing in this league. Untill he does Fargas is the better back. Period. End.
Fargas will start unless his hamstring precludes it.
How would we even go about betting? Whoever loses never comes on the blog again.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Farglass running ability>Bush running ability?
Farglass catching ability>Bush catching ability?
Farglass big play ability>Bush big play ability?

September 4th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
If anybody TiVo’d the game last night do yourself a favor and enjoy a great laugh, go back to the first quarter, the series when Rankin runs for the TD, the second play of the drive when Garcia gets the Seattle D on a hard count, the camera flashes to JRuss, and his look of concentration is awesome! Full gaping mouth open, blank stare, I gotta say the future of our franchise is s..m..r..t.
Well worth the laugh, and if you we’re watching, when Garcia is going over formations with Hackett, when JRuss realizes that the camera is on he leans in with the most orchestrated attempt to look like he’s interested. It’s awesome.
Good times, good times.

September 4th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
For all of you who want to cut Justin Fargas and keep Rankin maybe you need to be reminded of the fact that Justin has lead this team in rushing the last two years with 1009 yards in 2007 and 853 yards in 2008. As far as I know Mr rankin has not gained any yards in a real game yet. Ya he looked good against other teams 2nd and 3rd team players but Fargas has gained his yards against 1st team players A MAJOR DIFFERENCE.
I have a question for BD Raider you said Sam Williams is on a scholarship. What does that mean?
I think Sam is a good solid player for this team. He plays on every special teams unit and goal line defense. He was 2nd on the team in tackles with 15 this preseason.
This after being told on Friday before the 49er game that he would be playing the middle and calling the plays instead of his normal OLB spot. I think he did pretty good considering he was not given a lot of time to prep for the game.
You ask how do I know he was told the day before the game? I know because I am a friend of both Sam and Justin.
September 4th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Well, the Raiders wrapped up the Pre-Season in last place in Run Defense at 192 yds per game.
Take that Rob Ryan!

Lets see here…
Career TD’s:
Justin Fargas: 5 years = 8 TD’s
Darren McFadden: 1 year = 4 TD’s
I don’t know about you but a hurt Darren McFadden had 4 TD’s in one year. I’d bet he’da had at least 8 if he got the start and was healthy all year.

We got RBs, they got linemen.
I predict 2 FA signings that will mean very little. I am hoping for a trade of some kind that will result in more solid blocking or defensive line play.
I somehow doubt this late in the offseason, but it is entirely possible.

Fair enough SV Raider
This blog has debated Justin Fargas to the point of splitting hairs, his play looked at by everyone through a microscope.
I want to talk about Sam Williams. Sam was given every opportunity to win, or claim the SAM position on defense. He has all the measurements and came from a good football program. The argument is he gets injured to much. Yes, that I will say has been one of his biggest problems, staying healthy in the NFL, means never having others replace you.
I have been watching Sam Williams and he seems to be, most of the time, too late to the play, bad positioning, or his reads are slower than others.
Throw in his occasional missed tackles, and that’s why he is only a special teamer or as some in here say a scholorship player, liked by Davis.
Sam is not unlike others fighting to make a roster of 53. The Raider fans have hoped he would be the projected player to seize the SAM linebacker position, but never has.
Sam is very similar to Rocky Boiman who was just cut by Tenn. Boiman a linebacker, who plays well on special teams, but could never play the position to be a starter for their defense.
Sam is like many caught in a numbers game with dollars deciding who makes the team. Don’t blame the fans, we hoped for his emergence as Sam Williams starting linebacker for the Oakland Raiders.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
General Brien and MaddenRaider, you guys really think it’s OK for a guy to jack someone after a game because he talks some smack? This guy was talking crap before the game and Boise responded the right way – they shut him down on the field. If you’re going to talk that much crap be man enough to take it back when you get spanked. He sure got respect by punching the guy when he wasn’t looking and backing up like a girl in a catfight. Not one thing that guy did can be defended even if the Boise kid was a yoink after the game. Don’t give me the gang, black-white crap excuse everyone uses these days, it’s just an emotional 4 year old in a 22 year old body. Grow up.
All that said, the Oregon kid was staight up in coming out and apoligizing. He’s out for the season now but hopefully he loses this gang-respect BS that will get him nowhere. He may have an NFL chance, but you can be sure he will get smack talk every minute he’s there until he proves he’s man enough to laugh it off and just play. You guys are ridiculous to suggest he’s justified to punch the kid, for any reason. You obviously never played the game or never respected the game or the competition. Spare us any more of your “insight”.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Its amazing the huge gaps on the offensive and defensive lines and an almost total unwillingness to deal with these problems.
1. No Center
2. Middling Right Guard
3. Right Tackle can’t pass block (decent run blocker) and penalty proned
4. No real Nose Tackle
5. No full-time RDE (bunch of situational players)
6. Middling SLB
So many positions staffed by back-up caliber players. AN almost total neglect of the lines.
Hope these guys can step it up!

I guess the 9ers actually took over that title with Alex Smith instead of taking Aaron Rogers, THEN followed up with that bust of a DT, THEN followed THAT up with a WR who doesn’t even play football.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
Gary Russell sucks Rankin smokes him, but Russell MAY be more well rounded in blocking and receiving.
I’d STILL go with Rankin…
September 4th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I’ve read a lot of teams are going to more power blocking vs. ZB. The good news is we might find a starter quality guy somewhere in the cuts. The bad news is why are there so many teams moving away from ZB? Hmmm.
Same story for D-line. Look for teams going from 4-3 to 3-4 to pick up some decent guys. It’s too bad we’ve allowed our lines to get in such a state.
I’m afraid we’re screwed as far as MLB. We just need to draft a 250lb animal as a priority. Morrison might be OK at strong side but he just doesn’t have it for the middle.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
201. Sam Williams sucks at LB plain and simple. He’s been given MORE than his share of opportunities and should be cut like construction paper.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:16 pm

Your assessment is right on target. I think you left out no real MLB. Morrison should be the SSLB not MLB. He’s at the middle position by default. We need a Malaluga type in there.

Nnamdi21,
Can you explain the logic behind this “pass-first” defense? Where has this worked before because your assessment on how Davis runs this team is spot on.
Especially the willful neglect of the front lines to add more secondary and wide receiver help.
Also, why the use of “bland” lineman on the offense too?
Just some rationale or logic so I don’t pull my hair out.
Thanks Nnamdi21
September 4th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
The only reason we are comparing Rankin and Russell is because the roster spot they are fighting for is the same one. Rankin and Russell are 2 totally differnent types of backs. The question we should be asking is who is going to do the most for us in the long run.
My opinion? Rankin… Rankin is young and developing into what looks like a good #2-#3 scat back, which we don’t have (please don’t mistake McFadden for a “scat-back”). If this is Fargas’ last year with us, i’d be nice to have Rankin for the long haul giving rest to Bush and DMAC.

Tell me why USC players are great. Let’s see your reasons Einstein.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
USC players are great because all the “analysts” say so! If Russell was drafted outta USC the media would still be on his jock talkin how good he’s gonna be and how great and poised he looks for such a young QB.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
My vote goes for cutting Jeff Garcia while keeping Gradkowski & Frye. Both of these QB’s have a much better upside than Garcia. Yes, Garcia has the experience but he’s old, by NFL standards, and is injury prone. Garcia also does not do that well from the pocket. He has to bootleg out so he can see. Gradkowski & Frye are a better value for the $’s and both have a huge upside.
I’m also for cutting or trading Fargas and keeping Louis Rankin as the #3 RB. They should also look at Russell as a potential FB backup. He’s tough, a good blocker, can definitely run & catch and is too good to just turn loose. I’m sure he’d switch to FB if it meant making the 53.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:38 pm

Wait a minute… True only if he was drafted by any team OTHER than the Raiders. If the Raiders draft you and your college stats were good, they were amped up by the offensive system and hold no water in the NFL. If your stats were mediocre, then thats exactly what you are, and you were drafted too high.

September 4th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Dude,
Put simply, Rankin has homerun abilities whereas Fargas doesn’t. Fargas’ hands are mediocre at best. Rankin has good hands. Fargas has shown that he’s injury prone – mainly due to his style of running. Don’t get me wrong. Fargas is a standup player with a great attitude. But, what we need are durable RB’s that can score from anywhere on the field. Fargas’s 15 minutes of fame are now over.

September 4th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Dude you are the idiot. I said nothing about DMac or Bush so stick to the point. Fargas will be the # 3 RB this year – absolute best case for him. Rankin has far too much upside compared to Fargas. It seems that you are the only one unable or willing to see the obvious.
September 4th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
