Cable: Higgins could play
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, September 18th, 2009 at 1:22 pm in Oakland Raiders.
News and notes from Friday’s briefing with Raiders coach Tom Cable a day before the team departs to Kansas City:
– Johnnie Lee Higgins did not practice with a sprained shoulder, but Cable said he felt good enough about his improvement that he could possibly return puts against the Chiefs.
The day before, Cable said Higgins’ availability would be determined by his ability to practice Friday.
“Higgins is questionable, he is quite a bit better today. He did not practice in terms of all the stuff we’re doing. But he could be well enough to return,” Cable said. “That will probably be a game time decision.”
If Higgins does play, Cable said, he would be restricted to punt return duty with Javon Walker and Todd Watkins dividing the snaps as a third receiver, depending on the offensive package.
That would mean the Raiders would be able to avoid using safety Hiram Eugene, who apparently hasn’t returned a punt since his junior college days at Pearl River Community College in Mississippi. Eugene said he returned punts in college, but there is no record of him returning a punt at Louisiana Tech.
Walker, the other possibilty as a punt return specialist, returned kickoffs as a rookie in Green Bay but has had none since.
– The shin injury to Nick Miller could contribute toward keeping running back Justin Fargas for awhile. Cable would not commit to having Fargas among the 45 eligible players against the Chiefs because Louis Rankin must be in uniform to return kickoffs.
Cable said Michael Bush would back up starter Darren McFadden.
“We’d like to have all three of them up,” Cable said. “But we also have to take care of this return issue and the special teams thing for right now.”
While Cable said he considered McFadden the starter, with Bush and McFadden both as the backups, it’s pretty clear at this point Fargas is No. 3 on the depth chart.
– Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (wrist) and linebacker Kirk Morrison practiced, were listed as probable and will start. Defensive end Greg Ellis (shoudler) was limited but will also start. Chaz Schilens (foot) and Nick Miller are out.
– The guess here is Schilens may miss the Denver game next week as well as the Chiefs game, based on Cable’s closely-guarded optimism.
“He’s started to move around this week,” Cable said. “He’ll probably get more next week and we’ll evaluate it come Thursday of next week.”

Johnnie Lee – we need you back there this Sunday.
September 18th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
3rd! weeee
September 18th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Cable said Michael Bush would back up starter Darren McFadden.
Great news!
September 18th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
back in time weeee
September 18th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
I agree Big Banana
September 18th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
JLH stop being ambarrased about the big hit you took on Sunday. We need your ass to return punts this weekend.
September 18th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Great to see Bush as #2 for a second game. I hope he’s truely seen as the #2.
September 18th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
LatotheBay, stop lying. He said he admired their ability to “strike” quick. He then went on to explain the remark by saying that if you’re involved in football, you have to be an admirer of Hit ler to some degree. Funny, why haven’t we heard any other owners or GM’s give similar apologist views on Hit ler? Deny it all you want to. His words are there for everyone to see.
September 18th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
agreed Oakglenn…I already picked up another WR 4 my FF league =)
September 18th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
I don’t think Higgins is going to play. It might be best to rest him up rather than lose him for the season.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Everyone is talking about the Mitchell hit, but I was at the game Sunday and didn’t see anything.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Oakglenn: I agree. We should only use those that are are coming off injury if absolutely necessary. Not worth losing someone like Higgins for the season.

AlisGod, the guy who interviewed Davis back when he said that was equally as surprised, considering Davis is obviously Jewish. But he said it. Guess Davis is to Jewish people what Condaleeza Rice is to black people?
September 18th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Mitchell played his first game on ST and already got a big hit. I can’t wait for him to get in a few more plays this week. Other than Seymour this guy is keeping a bunch of us excited about the chanes on the D. You can take it to the bank that he will be a diff maker on the D.

Push it over the top.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
look at the bright side MedMike…we really could use some competent medical help in the organization!!!
September 18th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
I’m expecting and looking forward to an even more physical game come Sunday against the Chefs. Sucks though. Gotta work through it

And, I’ve broken no rules, anyway. Al Davis is the owner of the Raiders. So controversial comments of his are on topic. I didn’t bring up Hit ler. Al Davis did. Guess Jerry’s going to ban Al Davis, too? Dream on.

Your glorification of your comments regarding Hitler are very offensive and tasteless.

YES!!!!!! Thank you cable for SEEING THE FREAKING LIGHT!!!!! HUGGY BEAR 2 WON’T DO ANYTHING FOR US HE PLAYS ONLY IF MCFAD OR BUSH IS HURT!!! NOW LETS GO SET A RUSHING RECORD AGAINST THESE CLOWNS!!!!!
September 18th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Dirty I totally agree Huggy bear only plays is bush and Dmac get hurt. Let me just add he can also play if we are up by 20 points with 2 minutes left in the game.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Bush should be the starter. He will be before the end of the season. McFadden is too fragile and fumbles too much.
Thank God Fargas isn’t starting anymore.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:28 pm

September 18th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Oakglen, if you think football players that are getting paid millions of dollars should sit on the bench when they are able to play makes wonder if you should get yourself another hobby like I dunno….stamp collecting.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
have Fargas return punts and kicks.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Raidertay
i like the idea of both McFadden and Bush starting in the same backfield like the first series against SD. put one of them in motion and pound the ball a little. Maybe McFadden can score another KO like he did on Monday against SD.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Meant to say your comments on the Raiders have always been completely “useless”.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Fargas has more “heart” than anyone on that Raider team. He is tough, and he gives himself up for the team. Can’t say that about ANYONE else on the team. Now, I still think DMac and Bush are better, and should be starting ahead of him, but Fargas is still a good back most teams would like to have.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Keep Fargas on the bench.
The ONLY time he should be on the field, is when we have at least a 14pt. lead in the 4th. qtr, to run out the clock.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Bush should be starting and DMC should be the back up. IMO, that is how it will be by the end of the year.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
909, all the self proclaimed experts in here, or better known as “think they know it alls” say Fargas should be no 1 or no 2 because hes a better blocker and he will score at least 1 TD a year!
September 18th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Disagree.
Fargas is a great Raider and we’re lucky to have him.
What’s you people’s beef with this guy???
You got what you wanted (D-mac starting, Bush backing), so enough already.
I love those 2 guys. I really do.
Now just imagine if they played half as hard as Fargas and had even half the heart.
Just imagine if they had nearly the grit & toughness.
They’d be unstoppable.
Enough with the “Let’s get rid of Fargas” garbage.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
If we continue to use McFadden they we did in MNF, we might as well give Fargas those carries, he’d have more yards and no fumble.
Get DMC in space, Cable guy!
September 18th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Fargas had almost 1000 yards in just one half of football, merely 2 years ago.
How many tailbacks in the HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE have done that?
Not many.
You guys make it sound like he’s minced meat or something.
Amazing!
September 18th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
If you like Fargas you probably think JaMeatball is a bonafide Qb.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Ghost2Post – It’s easy to pile on Jrus though, he had a horrible game man.

Or you could be like missed-a-brain and think we try fake field goals on lst down. Or that global warming is a hippy myth. Right missed-a??
September 18th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
How’s the Browns doing this year missed-a?? You said bet the farm on Tenn versus Pitt on opening nite. How’d that work out for you?? + you wanted to bring in Lorenzo Neal. I see he got signed again, or right, he didn’t after he didn’t fit our system.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Nobody here ever mentions that Mcfadden fumbled which led to a TD for the chargers.
Just that Jrus is bad and fargas is no good.
ease up boys.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Um sorry mr not so einstein who cares about heart especially when there’s no production, guess u know nothing about football. You put your best guys on the field. Bush and Mcfadden are both more versatile and explosive than fargas and that’s a fact heart don’t have nuthing to do with 1 yard gainsand no tds sorry. I like fargas but no one is afraid of him, bush and mcfadden on the other hand put the fear in the d you saw how SD played they didn’t know what to do with both them guys in the back field
September 18th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
It’s possible Fargas doesn’t suit up because we may need Rankin available for KR. Unless Cable wants Walker or Eugene backing up an injured JLH.
Epecially true if JLH can’t go Sunday.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
I dont think there is a team out there that has 4 good RB’s like we do
September 18th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
SNS, Considering Fargas’ own team mates voted him captain and he won multiple team awards voted on by his team mates and coaches, I say keep the guy. But people like missed-a-brain, who don’t even know the world is round, or believe in global warming, somehow know better than 100 players and coaches who are actually IN the NFL. Funny, that.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
I agree again Oakglenn.That’s another part of the commitment 2 excellence…holding da rock
September 18th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
these clocks act like their stuck at 4:20 =)
September 18th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
How bout instead of giving Bush’s carries to Fargas, we give Russell’s throws to Fargas?
Obviously a joke, but Russell needs to come along for this to be an elite football team. He can be a good game manager and make solid throws, but until he can make all the throws, we won’t be a complete team and won’t be able to put enough points on the board.
You all saw that SD started bottling up the run in the 3rd and 4th, and Cable did little to remedy this.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
SUP…Big Dogg???
September 18th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I’m not hatin on Huggy jr. at all, just think D-Mac and Bush should be ahead of him on the depth chart.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I mentioned it Ghost. And I mentioned that was the main criticism of Dmac coming out of college. And he has put the ball on the ground waaaay too many times as a pro. Both Fargas and Dmac had the same amount of fumbles last year only Fargas had twice as many carries. Dmac obviously is the man along with Mike Bush, but he HAS to learn to hold onto the rock.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
If any of you want to try and ask Capt. Kirk, about that that limp D at the end of Monday’s game, you have a chance.
Kirk will answer questions from Raider Nation, on his web page http://www.kirkmorrison.com at 4:00p.m. PDT today…
September 18th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Just heard on Sportscenter that Ryan Leaf ahem I mean Phillip Rivers has been fined $7500 for the unsportsmanlike conduct call for throwing the ball at Gerard Warren and taunting.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Thanks Oak,
I wasn’t a fan of marcus at USC, but when he was a Raider I loved him. I wasn’t a fan of McFadden at Ark but if he’s a Raider I’m for him.
Couldn’t stand Alzado or the Tooz but when they are Raiders we love them.
Anyone that helps us get across the goalline…… he’s the MAN.

Oakglen, if you think football players that are getting paid millions of dollars should sit on the bench when they are able to play makes wonder if you should get yourself another hobby like I dunno….stamp collecting.
===========================================
Actually, you would not want them risking further injury, which as any pro football defender will tell you, they will be aiming for that left shoulder of Higgins, to dislocate it and knock him out for the season. And considering where we are in both return guys and WR’s, losing him this early would be catastrophic. But figures you would think that. I am glad you have your four year old daughter read my posts and then say the exact same thing word for word back to me. Very Original. How bout dem browns?

U are a serious derelict!
September 18th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Oakglen, quite frankly you’re an embarrassment to the Raider Nation!
Step aside, go pet your cat, pickup some stamps, whatever you need to do but NFL Football is not your cup of tea.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Had we sat McFadden last year we would have gotten more production outta him fasho! Oakglenn is right. A skill position player shouldn’t be playing injured.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
And being knicked up isn’t injured. Everyone is knicked up.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Mista,
But at what point do you sit them because they are ineffective and are a detriment to your team?
Remember McFadden sliding all over the place in the Buffalo game last year? A healthy back taking his carries and can plant, cut, and break tackles is a better idea for your team.
You can be a tough guy, and if you are going to help your team, stay in. If you’re going to hurt the team, sit out.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
AZ, you should join Oakglen for some WNBA & stamp collecting. Players play with injuries its part of the game ask any NFL player or ex player.
Commitment to Softies! Just Whine Baby!

Never thought of that Kell, but where I come from snitches get stiches. Just cause Bobs a biggot doesn’t make it ok to throw him under the bus. After all, this IS America where we are free to speak our mind when ever or where ever.
=================
Where I come from they don’t just throw biggots and racist scumbags under the bus, they usually drive forward, then reverse..a few times.
And no, clownboy, you can’t speak your mind whenever, or whereever.
Lot’s of ways to get arrested for opening mouth, inserting foot.
The fact YOU defend the scumbags right to be a lowlife indicates you’re likely one as well.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Yes AZ if McFadden was benched we would have got more production out of him!
Brilliant logic! He would have put up big numbers on the bench, right?
2 + 2 = 11 for you Az ?
September 18th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
I’d like to see Higgins Fair Catch the ball, rather than someone who’s not used to catching those punts and turns it over.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
since both our return guys are “dinged” up,does that just leave us with Rankin???I would rather let a RB field the ball than a DB
September 18th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
I think, if anything, Cable has been cautious with guys thus far in his tenure and would wait to make sure that they’re good to go.
If the medical staff clears the player, and the coaches think he can go, let him go.
Especially JLH, because he is sorely needed. Only other guy that has fielded a punt recently is Branch, and it doesn’t appear the coaches are even discussing him taking PRs.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
The coaches and the medical staff make that decision. If they say he’s ready to go and if JLH says hes ready to go…..HE GOES!
I cant even believe we are having this discussion!

or risk serious injury
September 18th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
This game is about Tom Cable, John Marshall and Al Davis.
The playcalling has to be better and more consistent.
It seemed on Monday that Cable and company got excited over the lead and kept trying to deliver a kill shot by passing all day instead of continuing to grind the ball and use the TEs.
No screens, no 2 TE sets and little running in the 3rd QTR.
The Raiders lost last wk because the coaches were clueless in the 2nd half.
We can’t afford another coaching debacle like that again. Remember the last time Oakland played K.C!
Just play straight up and call a solid game plan and use ALL your weapons!!!!!
September 18th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Oh! so now Fargas only gets 1 yard and falls down?
You people are bleeping idiots while DMC and Bush are obvious to all of us. Stop with the stupidity we all agree you don’t have to be a freakin’ idiot to egt a point across.
This team needs Justin Fargas and before the season is over even the dumbells will realize that.
IMO DMC left a lot of yards out there on MNF and until he really becomes that HB all of us keep insisting that he is I say we keep Fargas. HB’s like him make your team better not worse. Friggin’ fruitloops!!
September 18th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
BHP
The Fargas debate will never die here.
The guy’s a football player and a Raider. I’ll have him on my team any day.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
And stop just slamming DMAC up the middle. Use on the edge and throw the doggone ball to him as well.
Its amazing to watch other teams use their elite talent and then the Raiders seem to allow theirs to stagnate.
Provided Davis isn’t interfering too much…I gotta give him credit. He’s given Cable the tools to WIN NOW!
Call a better game and trust your defensive players in the 4th QTR.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
S&B
Good post.
Call plays that cater to the strengths of your players (especially QB, WR, and RB), and avoid their weaknesses.
We play smart, play hard, and don’t turn the ball over, we beat KC.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
DHB is James Jett 2009. The guy just wants to be a career decoy. I wonder in the Niners would trade Crabtree for DHB. If we are gona pay for a diva it might as well be a top-notch Diva that can catch. I bet you Crabtree would have signed Al’s deal.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
I’m out.
Later, Nation.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
KoolKell,
That’s why I am hard on the Coaches. They blew it! Plain and simple!
I hope they go out and focus on the task at hand. Not worry about getting the ball to certain players or getting traction.
Just win and use DMAC much better and don’t forget about the TE from Iowa that was also catching balls.
Don’t force the ball to DHB or try and prove something by throwing deep every other pass. Which is what happened in the 3rd QTR.
12 completions 200 yds…16 yds a completion….let’s not forget the screens etc….
September 18th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
SnB, Priesttj,
I have a question for you guys.
When everyone, the Commentators, fans are watching in horror as the Linebackers dropped themselves out of the play on that last drive.
Why didn’t someone up in our booth or on the sideline make any adjustments?
September 18th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Sorry don’t need him and So happy he is 3# I will be even happier when he is playing for Las Vegas . I don’t see any team asking about him they wanted Bush and ol’ Al said not happing. Mr. Davis told Cable fuggy bear is 3#
September 18th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
How do you Tay? you talk to him about? The kid has played ONE freakin’ game man. And you know what he wants to be his entire career?
Unbelieveable!!
Have you ever thought the kid needs to develope. He should be a senior in college and he’s taking on NFL corner’s as a starter. But all he wants to be is a decoy. IMO DHB is about 50% of what he will be 2 years from now. I don’t think even he knows just how good he can be.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
And tell Cable and Davis to screw the critics!
If Russell completes 52% of his passes but tosses 2 or 3 deep strikes. Who cares!
If DHB doesn’t get the ball….who cares.
Just win!
The Raider offense takes more deep strikes than most teams. You are not going to complete 70% doing that!
Just call the doggone game to win the doggone game and play to the strength of the team. Not the opinions of critics!
And can that prevent (or two LBs deep) B.S!
September 18th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
I guess it’s the toughest questions that take longest 2 answer =)
September 18th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
SnB
I hear ya, but are you telling me the Coaches didn’t see what was going on in that drive?
September 18th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
I totally agree the Players won their battles all night.
3 Charger starters will not be playing the Ravens this week, thanks to the Raiders.
The way Cable addressed the issue, I don’t anticipate that Defense this week.

======================================================
I think they went to Prevent defense. In my opinion, it had nothing to do with LBs lining up deep. As you said, they would have corrected that the 1st time or yelled into the LBs helmet to get closer.
Maybe it was Davis saying play it! I don’t know.
All I do know…is that the players WON THE GAME!
The coaches absolutely THREW that game into the waste basket.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
KK, they should’ve called time out, in fact they did but we didn’t execute. No one knows what happened and why but the ones who did it. And they aint tellin’
September 18th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Priesttj,
What happened last wk needs to be corrected. Too many “well if we just did this” type talk around here.
THE PLAYERS WON THE GAME!
The coaches, IMO, LOST THE GAME WITH THE PLAYCALLING IN THE 2ND HALF.
My biggest concern is that the COACHES don’t go in overconfident! Just call the game and win. Stop trying to prove that Russell is this or DHB is that! Just call the game to win the game!
I am so sick and tired of tossing these games in the circular file! They have to start winning and this week is a good place to start.
No more post game apologies and the like….Just win!
September 18th, 2009 at 4:40 pm

Of course they saw the Linebackers dropping back 15 yards its called prevent it was the called play…the guys in the booth are seeing it, how stupid of a question is this? You act like the coaches didnt call that defense, pull your head out!

=======================================================
Yeah, he’s incredible. The D-Line is legit. So why go out and only rush 3 when the 4 were PUNISHING an opponent with two lineman out with injury.
AGain, not to be negative, but I tend to get argumentative on glaring issues! The coaches have to get their collective heads out of …..and coach like professionals.
Game management is a key part of the coaches job and they blew it last week. And they cost the Raiders games last yr too! And if not for a Fargas/DMAC injury against TB…who knows!
Everyone harping on Russell…Well its time for Cable and his coaches to step it up too! I need to see Murphy and Myers on the field….I need to see DMAC step it up and I need the playcalling to improve BIG TIME!
When does it stop? Hopefully this week.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Richard Seymour and Mario Henderson are the best players on the team right now!
Yes, the lines my friend….the lines!

I have no re-watched the game yet, but, It’s my recollection on that last drive the Raiders rushed 4, AND getting good pressure.
But the LB’s dropped 10-15 yds and allowed the dump-off to Sproles completely uncontested.
Rivers was still under tremendous pressure.
September 18th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
I just dont like the guys attitude. His comments just rubbed me the wrong way. The whole I dont care what the fans think they dont write my checks:
http://www.insidebayarea.com/ci_13352965
As a side note, players should’nt say they played well and did their job when the team LOST.
September 18th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
1st – I’m happy to see Walker in the lineup at least, even as a 3rd WR. I mean, if the guy can’t beat the Chiefs Nickelback then cut him shortly after the game.
2nd – Dont rush Schilens back. Its not worth it. Murphy is doing good, DHB is pulling coverage and Walker could finally contribute. In fact, don’t bring Schilens back until Russell can complete a pass with accuracy because I don’t want to see the guy get killed and hes going to have to jump for some balls on a bum foot and I don’t want to see that.
3rd – THANK GOD Fargas is 3rd string or 4th string at this point. I’m really starting to like Cable more and more because he seems to have common sense. I was getting worried there for awhile.
September 18th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
DHB
I don’t know how anybody’s job description on a football team could be “decoy”
Didn’t they try that already with Randy Moss?
Look, when the clock’s running down, when the QB’s under pressure, down on the scoreboard, etc, etc, EVERYBODYS GOT TO GET OPEN, ok?
September 18th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
Raidertay – I wouldn’t put much into that article. I think DHB just wants to contribute and he gets questioned and ridiculed more than anybody else because of how high he was drafted. The guy realizes his role and hes helping Murphy and Miller get open because hes pulling a corner and safety towards his side so if thats what it takes to get receivers into the open field, so be it but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want the ball as well. Also, he prides himself on working hard and dropping the ball twice in the game has to be frustrating for him because he has alot to prove. I wouldn’t worry about him too much.
All he is saying is, hey, if the Raiders want to pay me to contribute in the way that I have, so be it, I’ll do whatever.
September 18th, 2009 at 5:11 pm
I never said we would get more production from mcfadden on the bench brownguy. I said had we sat him until he was 90% instead of playing him at 65% he wouldn’t have stayed there. I’d take mcfadden at 90% for 4 games over mcfadden at 65% for 7 games. But that’s just the opinion of a man who is smarter than you. It’s obvious you never learned from your superiors in the past so I don’t expect you to start now.
9-7!
I’M OUT!
RAIDER ON!
September 18th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
Moss is a decoy AND wants the ball. How long will teams respect him as a decoy until he has to prove that he can actually catch the ball.
September 18th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
I was listening to an interview of DHB and they asked him has he ever thought about Twitter so that his fans can follow him. He responded that he would twitter if someone pays him. I thought what a jerk. You just recieved a $23 million contract and you want people to pay you more money.
Everything he has said so far has been F–k the Fans!!
September 18th, 2009 at 5:21 pm

September 18th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Raidertay – He doesn’t have to be a slave to the fans, he just needs to catch passes and TD’s. Who cares? Also, Hes a rookie who has only played in 1 game. WR’s usually take 3 years to develop so don’t expect too much from this guy. Jerry Rice had dropped alot of balls in his first year as well and not that DHB is going to be the next Rice but DHB needs to get over the mental game first. Lucky for us, we have a guy like Murphy who has come from a winning program at Florida and can contribute right away. DHB will come along.

I agree 24. All he needs to do is catch the ball and score TDs. He should be saying he played a good game when he did neither and his team lost.

Me too 24 thank goodness he’s 3rd string, all these goofballs talking about Fargas like he’s been dominating between the tackles gimme a break!

Chaz needs to takes his time and come back when he can be most affective, that’s 100% healthy…. no neeed to come back and bet hurt worse than b4
September 18th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
A 70% Chaz is better than Javon or Watkins at full strength. He has to play against the Broncos.
It’s the NFL BathWater, nobody is ever 100%.

I wish we could have signed an old reliable WR vet. someone JR can depend on until the young guys develop. An Isaac Bruce type.
I was thinkin Armani Toomer, but he must suck because he was cut extremly fast by KC.

September 18th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Vegas Raider – Feet are important in the NFL my friend. Remember Darren McFadden last year or Michael Bush’ leg injury that took him out of the game for awhile? We have to baby Schilens’ injury or it will ruin him. That bone has to be completely healed or it will break even more.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Lol… U rock 4eva. Scratch roxy behind the ears 4 me
September 18th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
24,
Your probably right, Bill Walton is a good example of when feet go wrong. I just would like to see Chaz step-up and say, “I’m only 80%, but I’m ready to win some games”.
If we beat KC than he can maybe take another week off, but if we lose, he has to play against the Broncos.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
Raidertay – You have to blame Cable for starting DHB if hes not completely ready. He could have started Higgins or Walker instead but he didn’t. On top of that, he said he would probably sit Murphy when Schilens comes back because they play the same position. Look, I’m not an expert or anything but if Murphy and Schilens happen to be the 2 best WR’s on your team, you put them both on the field. Maybe I don’t understand who plays the x and the y or the z or whatever the heck but come on…I would rather see the 2 best guys if that happens to be Murphy and Schilens if they can make it work.
Could DHB starting be the work of Al Davis? I don’t know. Either way, the more DHB plays, the faster he will become better so I can’t fault the team for trying, its a tough call to make but I’d hate to see Murphy get benched when Schilens comes back because of what hes done up till now. He should already have 2 TD’s at this point. Thats impressive for a rookie.

September 18th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Jheezy!!!
Yeah, Wal-Mart had some Optimo’s for me. Super Sticky, was hard to break it down, but I made it happen.
Are you as worried as me about Javon or Watkins as our 3rd WR, being that DHB is providing nothing? Lots of handoff’s on Sunday, probably.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
AHH-HA-HA…

Dont worry Vegas. DHB will provide enough decoy for Watkins and Javon to be effective.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Walker will tear up the Chiefs Nickelback but we won’t every find out because Jamarcus will overthrow him everytime.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:26 pm

September 18th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
IMO…we should concentrate on 2 TE sets and the ground attack in general vs KC
September 18th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Watching the game and having a beer, I noticed that Oren Oneal played a good game too. Nice physical presence.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
I understand that but the guy had a broken bone in his foot, so it is indeed the NFL which requires the recievers to be affectivd in the routes especially on dig routes where they really have to stick, plant that foot and if he can’t do that then he can wait till he can, no need to make his foot worse
September 18th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
DHB will get the Decoy of the Year Award presented by who? James Jett? Alvis Whitted? Rocket Ismail?
September 18th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
I kind of hope Matt Cassel plays this Sunday. If hes hurting and our defensive lineman can get in his face and knock him down, maybe we can help him stay on the bench for an extended period of time.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
The Raiders are already starting to make teams pay this season. This is the Raider football we have been missing. I just hope these come with wins attached.
L.T. is O.U.T.
Posted by Mike Florio on September 18, 2009 4:25 PM ET
Chargers running back LaDanian Tomlinson, who entered the season with a burning desire to prove that he has not become an injury-prone, over-the-hill tailback, is well on his way to becoming an injury-prone, over-the-hill tailback.
Tomlinson has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Ravens, due to an ankle injury suffered on Monday night against the Raiders.
Also out for the Chargers with an ankle injury is center Nick Hardwick, along with defensive end Travis Johnson (groin).
Linebacker Antwan Applewhite (hamstring), guard Louis Vasquez (knee), and defensive tackle Jamal Willams (arm) are questionable. Tackle Marcus McNeill (hand) and punter Mike Scifres (groin) are probable.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
Vegas,
Not worried about Watkins or Walker, not expecting much from the WRs except Murphy. I hope to see 2 TE sets, and a lot of screens and dump offs.
And of course, a lot of McBush!
September 18th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
JHill,
I will also 2nd what you said. It was CRIMINAL the way that offense was called in the 3rd QTR. I sniffed a little bed & breakfast there for a little bit. Everything was deep…as if they were trying to prove something.
Two TE sets work for Romo. Two TE sets with either Bush or DMAC in the backfield and throw your decoy out there and someone should be open in the flats or over the middle.
Tell Cable that there is nothing wrong with a screen or a short out……
Seriously, between the 3rd QTR offensive playcalling and that prevent “setting LBs back 15 yds” that was some of the WORST coaching I’ve ever seen.
Step it up COACHES!

Its hard to tell what the playcalling looks like when you have Jamarcus Russell throwing it to all the wrong places. For all we know, he has checkdowns that hes not seeing or getting to the players accurately. Maybe JR isn’t managing the playcalling as well as he should be?

Oh geez..another whining sniveling Raider fan who runs the “the ref’s are picking on us…THE REF’S ARE PICKING ON US”.
The Raiders had 6 penalties for 40 yards..THE CHARGERS HAD 9 FOR 60 YARDS.
So how in the hell did the Ref’s take the Raiders out of the game?
WHAT PENALTY WAS CALLED THAT WAS BOGUS? that took you out of the game?
Weak..typical Raider fan weak.

First off..that’s sorry weak.
No, it’s not that the Raiders are far from back (you have Russell. Russell sucks. This is Russell’s 3rd year in the NFL and he still sucks. He has a rocket arm, and a 5 cent head. He has NO touch, and if he can’t rocket it in there he’s very likely not going to get a completion) it’s that you NOW GROW A PAIR OF BALLS BECAUSE YOU THINK THE RAIDERS ARE BACK?
You state “I’m going to start bashing those guys in there NOW..because the Raiders are back”?
WTF?
So, what you’re saying is you’re a mouse. A timid little mouse who’s afraid to take a stand, or defend his team UNLESS YOU CAN DO IT BEHIND THE SAFETY OF A WIN?
Dude, lol…that’s sad.
Now, considering how bad KC is, the Raiders actually should win this…which means right AFTER WARDS you’ll act all that?
And why do I just know that immediately AFTER the Raiders next loss, you’ll timidly retreat?..by YOUR WORDS??

September 18th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Does anyone realize how young this team is? how many thought the Raiders would win this game? the fact that we came close is an improvement, now the next step
Win them but that is a learning experience for the coaches and the players. Understand Marshall is learning these players just as these players are learning him.
Who in here thinks the Raiders will win the SB this year? No one…. This is a learning year for a very young team that’s very talented but inexperienced. Before the game I felt we had to play mistake freee to win. What’s the probability of that with players this young?
Give Russell this year to learn to play at a high level for an entire game and raise the play of his teammates. This year at least the first part of the year the Raiders would be very smart to let DMC and Bush win games for them. Maybe when Chaz comes back that could change. But IMHO you run and get the ball to ZMiller and DMC and Chaz when he’s here if you want any degree of consistency.
September 18th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
WTF? How is it I reply to a post, but my comment gets placed BEFORE that post? This blog is whack.
September 18th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
With Schilens in, the Raiders would have won the game (easy for me to say, might be true or not). Without Seymour they would have lost convincingly.
This is going to be the ‘I called it when they turned it around year’ for the talking heads.
September 18th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
If you really look at the game DMC played while his stats aren’t bad he left a lot of yards and some big plays out there he needs to raise his game. He needs to slow down and read the defense as he attacks it and hit the seams he running into his blockers still and that has to stop. MBush does a much better job of reading his blockers and taking the daylight. Also DMC allowing himself to be tackled by his shoestrings drives me nuts. When he’s in open field he has to make the first man miss virtually every time. For some reason he can’t and that is not the kind of player we thought we were getting.
Actually Rankin is a much better pen field runner than anyone we have. This guy has the kind of moves I’m talking about and he has just as much speed as DMC

We are going to beat the crap out of some very good teams and lose to some average teams because we’re too young to be consistent. Young teams will drive you nuts. But once they put it together it’ll be together for a long time.
September 18th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
I keep seeing the same thing, over and over in here. I said it in preseason and I’ll say it again………our halftime adjustments have to be addressed, we have lost too many games in second half due to poor adjustments. Al should hire someone to control the continuity of the game, a coaching advisor, if you will.
September 18th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Headed from discharge land to queefe land to represent the Raider Nation with Pride and Poise. There is no other like the Raider Nation. It has been a long 6 years my brothers and sisters, but the mountain is being assended and the place we rightfully belong is coming. God Bless Al Davis. Silver and Black for Life!!!!
September 18th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
WOOOOOO im ready for some football sunday and watch my raiders whop up on the cheifs and seymour and eliis all over the qb and mcbush will tear it up beers on me raiders:35 chiefs:7
DRINK UP

Boise St v Fresno St looks like a high school game.
Both teams have over 400 yards of offense.
September 18th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
i’ve been out of town for a week,but watched the game Mon. night.if Russell plays like he did in the opener every week,we won’t win many games.he was something like 3 for 7 in the 2nd half before connecting for the TD.that is unacceptable.once again accuracy was a huge problem.we can all complain about other facits of the team,but the fact is if Russell had been more accurate we would have won the game going away.
September 18th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
I get so stoked for Raiders Football that I make up words. Assended should be climbed. Either way the Silver and Black is on their way back!!
September 18th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
If they want to change the culture in Oakland, they should start with one thing——–teach these guys, coaches, owner….whoever______this is a 70 minute game, not 60. This will help poor decision making and lack of effort disappear…….it also forces other teams to beat you at YOUR game, rather than wait til the end for an opportunity to put you away.
September 18th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Lefty12, while that is very true, Russelplayed very well in the first half and we should’ve been up 17-7 at least But Murphy makes a rookie mistake and DMC fumbles. And that is the problem with young teams players take turns making critical errors. If you guy’s think Russell is going to play like a vet this year then you’re going to be very frustrated. He’s just too inexperienced he’s going to be great and then much less than great. That’s what young QB’s do especially if they don’t have consistency around them.
If you know what to expect you are much less frustrated when you actually see it. Russell will make some incredible plays but just don’t expect consistency. Because you wont get it. Not yet!!
September 18th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Priest,you talk of consistency,but overlook Russell’s lack of accuracy.he has the tools to be a great QB,but so did J.George.George was too stupid to be great.Russell just might not be accurate enough to be great.i don’t see the inaccuracy problems with other young QBs!
September 18th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
if the accuracy problems were with the deep passes or lack of touch on screens i wouldn’t have the concerns i have with him throwing the ball well over the heads of WRs on 10-15 yard outs,which he has to be able to throw.you can’t make a living just throwing the ball to your TEs over the middle,and quick slants to 1 WR.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Wassup Lefty!
Couple of other things you can’t ignore from Monday’s game.
DMac Fumble.
TD dropped at the half.
2 TD drives given up in the 4th qtr.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Lefty12 yes you do you just aren’t nearly as engaged and emotional about it. Did you see Cutler play? Have seen B Quinn? Have you see leinert? Have you seen A Smith? have you seen Big Ben when he was younger or Eli Manning when he was younger and both have won SB’s. I bet if you watched Matt Ryan for 5 games in a row your opinion of him would be very different.
Lefty12 the truth is MOST young QB’s have those accuracy problems. I bet if you saw Matt Stafford you wouldn’t say that.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Jhill,how you doin and that’s true,but if Russell plays better those things don’t matter.he needs to play better.i’m not saying he can’t,just that he needs to.i watched the game in a tavern on the Ore. coast and everyone there-Raider fan,charger fan-mentioned how bad Russell looked.even the pass that DHB is blamed for “dropping” was thrown too high.(i’m watching a replay as we speak,thus that comment).
September 18th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
I watched the 9er game Sunday and couldn’t believe how inaccurate Kurt Warner was for that game. But he als had several drops as did Russell. No question Russell needs to get better but it’s very early in his career.
I remember Drew Brees in his first two years starting thinking this guy wont make it in this league then all of a sudden it all clicked and now look at him. Have you seen anyone play better?
September 18th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Lefty12 here’s a thought and I’m serious when I say this when Russell doesn’t trust a player or a play he seems to just throw the ball away. I don’t think it’s as much a lack of accuracy as is a lack of confidence.
I think he just sails the ball out of bounds to protect because he doesn’t trust the player. I’ve seen him throw that pass tooo many times to think he’s that inaccurate.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
Priest,i saw those you mentioned,but to be honest i don’t put Quinn in the same class as JR.as far as Warner goes,he is showing his age,IMO.A.Smith is a huge bust and probably isn’t even an NFL caliber QB.you may be correct about the others,but don’t take this wrong,i’m concerned about JR,not them-they aren’t Raiders.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:29 pm

September 18th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Rough game for my young cuzzo from Fresno State. The passing game was off. Boise State will not be a BCS team at all. QB sucks
September 18th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Lefty,
How can you say those things don’t matter?
September 18th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Lefty12, again if you expect Russell to be great right now……….forget it. Russell will have some great games and some not so great. It’s just a matter of the this time in his career.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Boises QB sux? LOL!! Ok Einstein.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
Brien<———–talked to Thomas Howard today at Bayfair Chilis
September 18th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Boise State QB isnt good at all. Those dynamic running backs destroyed Fresno State’s defense
September 18th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
And that is my point exactly you don’t focus on the way they play but every throw by Russell you will scrutinize. When they are playing every bit as bad. Or worse!!
September 18th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Priest,it isn’t that i expect him to be great at this point in his career,but i have to be concerned when i see him throw the ball well over the head of wide open WRs-the passes aren’t even close,and i’m not talking about deep passes,i’m talking about simple 10-15 yd outs.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
This is about the Raiders, not JUST Russell.
Murphy runs a bad route, gives us a pick in the red zone.
DMac fumbles the ball at mid field which leads to a SD TD.
Murphy drops a TD pass to end the half.
And the JRuss led offense still scored 20 pts.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:42 pm

September 18th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Thomas Howard is a real cool guy. Told me he believes they can get pressure without blitzing because of Seymour and Ellis. I told him I wanna see him come off the edge amd blast some one and he wants to do the same Also said they arent gonna get punked in the run game.
Mario Henderson is just plain nasty and will handle most DEs in the league
Asked him about Mike Mitchell and he diverted to Tyvon Branch and how well he played monday.
Said players were pissed to lose that game and feel in round 2 they will get them.
Basically confirmed Tomlinson will not do anything ever again against the defense. Guys he is done.
Said Tom Cable is cool and has a o-lineman mentality all the time. Go figure. Said the diversity in the passing scheme is much different than it has been since arriving in Oakland
Told me himself they werent in a prevent defense and said the LBs played it wrong. Also admitted his own guilt against SD.
Thomas Howard Sr, a former Chief, talks trash all the time to him about KC beating Oakland.
JLH needs to be on the field because his football speed will net big plays.
Told me to expect alot more wins in 2009 and that the attitude in alameda is quite different than years past.
Howard knows we have more talent than KC but knows its a rivalry game onthe road and the crowd will be wild. He expects to win.
Very cool guy and quite humble
September 18th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
to be honest,i could accept an int due to a bad read more than an overthrow of an open WR at this point,and that is my point.i don’t see the misses from others like i see from him.they make rookie /young QB bad decisions but seem to complete the basic throws more consistently than JR and that is my concern at this time.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Jhill,if he played better,we could have had 27/30 points even with those mistakes.btw,the pass to Murphy was a TD,just like Brady fumbled the ball,another BS call.i know this is totally wrong,but the fans at the game should let the officials know they won’t tolerate calls like that on our home field.does anyone think the stealer fans would let the officials get away with those calls?
September 18th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Jhill name the position in football that gets judged by their win-loss record
September 18th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Lefty12, I know man I was there I saw everyone of them and I agree with you but I’m just giving you my personal opinion. When you see that he is throwing the ball away. That’s my opinion.
Russell throws that out as good as any QB when he wants to I’ve seen him do it too many times. His first professional pass was a deep out to Jerry Porter he put it right there. I know what this kid can and cannot do. Right now he needs players around him that HE trust and he will play much better until that happens he wont it’s that simple.
And that doesn’t mean he’ll immediately be this great QB but he will take a lot more chances with the football. That first deep out that he threw to Murphy was picked because Murphy cut off the route. And the ball was thrown perfectly.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
OK, cool be concerned, I’m not.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Howard also told me they got something for SD’s ass next time. Real cool brother and talked much smack. Had no clue silverandblack.com predicted he was gonna be selected by Oakland in 2006. He told me he didnt even know Al Davis would draft him at all.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
BHP, 12 for 30 isnt going to cut it my friend
September 18th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
But if you ask me I prefer the overthrow and a completion on the next play. I hate int’s and he does as well.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
WOW Brien, thanks for the enlightenment.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
Brien, I’ve known Rickey Ricardo for almost 20 years and I used to do a show from his restaurant. Just ask him does he know Priest.
I talked to Howard a couple of days before the game. he said they would play well and they did. That was before Seymour.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
BHP, I live in San Leandro right by Bayfair mall nowadays. I’m down the street from Ricky’s and I see Raider players all the time. From time to time I chop it up with John Vella at his store next to the bar. These players are around the Bayfair mall area more than you can imagine. Russell,Dmac,Sands,Miller,Howard and other players have been at Chili’s at Bayfair.
Howard is a big MFer. Bigger than I really thought

B,
I see the misses. I don’t think there is one person who said that JRuss is an accutate passer. But now that we got that out of the way, how about DMac’s fumble, Murphy’s INT, and Murphy’s dropped TD?
A bad read for an INT instead of an overthrown ball?
This is getting crazy.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Thomas Howard is aware of the bay area hting media. Jerry he knows about your blog as well. Told me the only way to shut up the doubters is to win. The team hasnt won lately so he doesnt expect the naysayers to quiet it up until they prove they can be a winning franchise.

I’m sure you asked Howard about Russell …
September 18th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Priest,as i said,i’m not ready to give up on him but i am concerned.as far as saying he has to have the talent around him,i feel he has to trust the players he has around him more.to say he overthrows DHB because he doesn’t trust him yet is in my opinion wrong on his part.btw, i agree if the overthrow is on purpose it is better than an int.i just don’t think they are.

*************************************
Dmac’s fumble hurt and didnt I say that earlier this week? Murphy’s INT? He didnt throw the ball. dont give me the excuse for Russell. He better make sure his guys know the deal. It is his fault since he is the leader of the franchise. Stop trying to bail him out. I also said Murphy didnt do enough to have it stay a TD already.
but back to Russell……….a qb cant be that horrible and people give him excuses. Had Russell been 18 for 30 we win that game without worrying about a late drive by SD. I believe that………f–k it, I know that for sure. SD was ripe for the taking and we screwed it up. Thomas Howard told me so himself
September 18th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
How about a big KUDOS to our O line! Chargers had ONE sack.
Merriman had one hurry and was a ghost…he could be DONE…
September 18th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
I agree with that he has to play better and I think he will the oline must continue to give him time, I do like how Russell is getting the ball out quicker, even throwing certain passes just before the receiver gets into the route. Accuracy will be an issue at times but based off of what I seen from him already last year as well I don’t see him having games like that all year long

Ok Brien, you said Dmac’s fumble hurt us, and I said JRuss was inaccurate and needs to get better.
6 more pass completions win the game? LOL, Cmon!
Ok ….
Dmac’s 2 drops
DHB’s 2 drops
Murphy’s 2 drops (1 for a TD)
JLH’s 1 drop.
Hmmmm, you might be right.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Just look out for DHB on a deep TD pass this Sunday is all I’m telling you guys. I didnt get Howard to say it but he knows our entire offensive arsenal is tough to deal with. Told me they gonna handle KC and I told him I’ll see him when we play Denver.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
kinda worried about our WR situation if Nick Miller is out up to six weeks I say put him on IR and bring back Holland we need players now putting him on IR he will still be ours next year.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
JLH will not be playing on Sunday according to T. Howard
September 18th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Bey needs to get things going here pretty quickly first we had to many WR in camp now we are trying to field 4 Walker is ready 3 days ago he was suppose to be inactive?
September 18th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Russell’s a big play QB. Gutsy. Directed TD drives at the end of the 1st half, and the end of the 2nd half.
He’s a playmaker, from anywhere on the field.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
I told Howard that when Gruden was sent to the EDD office(he got a kick out of that) the Raider franchise lifted a demon off of their chest. He agreed with the damn General! Hasn’t the General been saying this since we won that game? Score another one for the General
September 18th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
Jhill,what i should have said is i could understand a bad read for an int. by a young,inexp. QB more than balls being badly overthrow instead of i could accept them.my bad for wrong choice of words.also, teams very seldom play error free games.if our QB had played better against SD those errors you mentioned would have been overcome,thus they wouldn’t have mattered in the outcome of the game.you also fail to mention the INT he threw on the 1st drive inside the 20.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
KK-the WHOLE game counts,not just the drives at the end of the halves.as i’ve said,i’m not even close to writing the guy off,just concerned-as should all Raider fans should be,even his most devoted supporters.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Jhill,if he played better,we could have had 27/30 points even with those mistakes.
—————————————————
I hear you. It is what it is. Like B Said, he’s the face.
But if you say that the play at the end of the hald was a TD, then that’s 24 right there. We are talking legitimate offensive drives down the field for those points.
So one more FG or TD? JRuss really has to put up 27-31 pts per game to be accepted?
Well hell, I agree! LOL!
But I the difference is I’m just not willing to give everyone else that pass that some of you are.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Kell, that wasnt a TD at the end of the half. He didnt secure it
Hey Kell, what do you have to say about all that astute crap now? Thomas Howard is a real live player and said they werent in a prevent defense. He laughed at the notion because SD wasnt out of timeouts and they were only up 3 points. I want to hear you and MR spin this one. I expect an apology from you pronto
September 18th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Kell you are such a weak man for running to Jerry over Norco Bob’s comments. Are you that detached from how you grew up to the point you tattle tell on people? Going off and living in suburbia had made you a shell of yourself. It is all in your posts and you know I see through your BS.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Lefty12, to be honest that was the best out pattern he threw all day if Murphy runs his route to completion that’s a catch and maybe a score.
Take a good look at that play and you’ll see what I’m saying when they ran that same play with DHB he sailed it out of bounds he wanted nothing to do with that call. Later in his career he’ll change that play to something he feels more comfortable with.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Norco Bob= at the games regardless of wins and losses. He is a real Raider
KoolKell= smart football guy but very bitter and its still unknown if his team is still the Raiders
September 18th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
Priest that is an excuse. Dont blame a rookie for a being a rookie. Blame the more experience guy who isthe signal caller who needs to instruct the rook whenthe play is being called. Russell’s excuses need to run out by everyone if we want to see him flourish. The babying and sugar coding is over now. W’s more than L’s will shut us up.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Brien, that’s just damn ignorant in the throws of a game, That’s done in practice a thousand times. If he doesn’t know how to run a pattern by game time sit his ass down…………period
September 18th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
bottom line is JRuss put the team in position to win with a 60 yard bomb on 4th and 14 not his fault D let them go 85 yards for a TD not FG a TD…
September 18th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
Priest,DHB was wide open.i don’t buy the argument he purposely overthrew the pass-he is paid to complete that pass,but i’ll give you the int. was partly Murphy’s fault.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
brien if he tells the reciever how to run his route and the guy does it wrong, then how is that russells fault? he needs to get more accurate and his wrs need to catch better. he couldve been 18-30 if his wr alone caught the ball. they both need to clean it up. cable didnt help by not mixing up the playcalling. when he was struggling he shouldve mixed in more screens and 2te sets to pass. get some easy stuff to get his confidence up. his mechanics are still off cuz he drifts back a little 2 much.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
That’s freakin crazy now he’s the fault of guy’s running wrong routes?
You just lost a lot of credibility, you shouuld know better than to type some stupid ass crap like that to me.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
I’m not too thrilled w/ Walker getting some playing time. I don’t even remember him catching any passes in a preseason game even though he said he had recovered. I would be more inclined to try out J Holland as a back up to JLH.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
he does sail 2many easy throws for some reason. maybe he should drop down some to get that ball lower. people should give him credit for that block he made and that 4 15 td. bowes comments could be spot on. jamc is naturally quiet and is probably waiting for the right moment to assert himself. well he just needs to do it and let the chips fall where they may. i predict he completes atleast 60% and a couple tds. we should run all over kc.

the bottom line is if Russell had played as well as he did at the end of each half for the whole game,the last SD drive wouldn’t have made any difference.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:35 pm

September 18th, 2009 at 11:36 pm
On the other hand J Walker does have experience….
September 18th, 2009 at 11:36 pm
it doesn’t make any difference if there are 2 rookie WRs or 2 10 year vet WRs,if the QB is throwing the ball 5 yards over the WRs heads.as Brien said,when do we quit making excuses for JR and make him live up to his status as a starting NFL QB.what is wrong with saying-yes,at this point in time he isn’t as accurate as we’d like him to be and we need him to do better?it doesn’t mean we don’t like him,just that he NEEDS to improve.

**************************
Sorry but you better convey things on the fly to your guys through the course of the game. How do you figure he ran the wrong route? Jammer just sat back anyways. Did you not see that.
Did you guys not see SD put an extra man in the box in the 2nd half because they dared Russell to beat them with his arm? Come on these excuses are weak.
I can never lose my credibility. Since coming on to this site I was right way more than I’ve been wrong and all know this. My first post ever was that Derrick Burgess sucks and needed to be traded. Well guess what a year and a half later. Thanks.
A miscommunication on a pass play is both parties fault but isnt the more experienced player more at fault? Should he avoid that if it isnt truly open? I guess you like Russell didnt see Jammer sit back on that play.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
Brien he sucks all the way to the Pat’s who’s got a better chance to go to the SB the Pat’s or the Raiders?
Belichik, is nobody’s fool Burgess can play and is a great edge rusher but we put him in a very difficult situation that he couldn’t win.
And Jammer can sit back all he wants if the route is ran better Murphy makes that play……………period Jammer just sat back, so freakin what, the play was there to be made………period
September 18th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Look I’m for Russell to be our QB because he still gives us the best chance to win but to BS me and said its all roses on the passing tip is crazy. 12 for 30 is sickening and a INT on the first drive in scoring range is on his shoulders! Stop with the excuses
September 18th, 2009 at 11:44 pm
No JRussell bashing here … but I am getting sick of you guys making excuses for him. Why don’t you read what other NFL fans and sportwriters, players, coaches think of Russell and then you will get an honestly answer. Right now I have not heard one person praising Russell’s MNF performance but I did here afew comments on how good the Raiders played and “if they only had a QB they would have won.”
The more excuses you have for Russell the more of these posts will appear. When Russell actually wins a game by his performance (hasn’t happened yet) he will get some praise and the more he does it the more you will see on the JRussell bandwagon … until then shutup about Russell’s so called good performance.

lefty u are right, he eventually has to finish how he starts. his comp % would be better if the damn wrs catch. the whole team including cable is costing the team yardage and possible points, thats part of a young team. and yes priest dmc is getting on my nerves slippin so damn much. whether a shoestring tackle or mostly by himself. whats funny is he didnt do that in college. i like dmc, but that 4th qtr run shouldve been a td or atleast 2 the 5 yardline. that guy was just hoping to slow him down diving at him and dmc tripped up instead.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
brien, jammer was sitting back but so what. if the damn wr is suppose to cut his route off it doesnt matter if jammer is there or not. how many times have guys made catches right in front of the db? also, u cant tell the wr what to do with the ball mid flight. he has throw the ball where he EXPECTS the wr to be. thats no excuse thats the truth. i want him to throw 30 times a game cuz im sick of the babying him stuff myself. its the only way he gets better by havin u and others on his ass. he aint the first nor the last qb to get booed.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Haha Armond, you gonna blame Cable? Ron Rivera is an experienced……….getting it? Experienced DC and knew how to adjust to stop the Raider running game. They dared Russell to pass on them. Anyone who didnt see that is blind
September 18th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
Wow BHP dogs the hell out of DMAC but gives Russell such leeway. I smell agenda.
Armond, DMAC is quite fine and did well against a stout run D. The fumble sucks and I wont lie but to say he fell everytime he was touch like BHP suggests is a damn lie. DMAC is your best rb and then its Bush. Too bad Cable thinks Farglass is better than Bush.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
I bet money if walker gets significant pt he will have an impact, cable needs to stop being a tool, and play the man… he is healthy put him out there. Cable somehow thinks that Walker should be 4.3 fast in order to get separation?!? Wtf cable you stubborn coach, you will be thankful once you put him in MARK MY WORDS!!!!
September 18th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
brien dmc should be criticized as much as russell for not making plays a TOP 5 pick should make. AP doesnt get tackled or slip by his shoestrings as much. thats where dmc needs to be. he had a possible td and fell by some turd who lunged at him barely touching him. i want dmc 2 start and get his 25 touches a game but if he keeps fumbling ya boy fargas gon be back in there. and yes brien i do blame cable for makin us 2 damn predictable. runnin out the shotgun all those times including runs out of the shotgun was stupid.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
Who said good performance freakin moron? no one is making excuses it’s you idiots expecting him to carry this team right now. He played about as well as anyone on offense. Except maybe Bush who didn’t get the chance he should’ve.
Russell struggled everyone on this board has admitted as much but maybe comprehension is not your strong suit.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Brien,i don’t believe that Cable thinks Fargas is better than Bush.he even insinuated Fargas could be inactive this week even if he is ready to go.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Dmac’s importance to the offense will be seen just as soon as Russell becomes a more accurate passer. Dmac is our most explosive weapon and still he hasnt got 20 or more touches since the KC last year. It is amazing how some people kiss other’s ass who dont deserve but yet dog this guy. I wish he was off the roids like Adrian Peterson. Then people like BHP and Armond would respct him.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
When DMC runs like he should he’ll get my respect. If I see another shoestring tackle on him I’ll throw up.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
DBW, you better be right about Walker. I’m very skeptical to be honest. I’m unsure if his initial burst is at NFL starter caliber anymore
September 18th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
I’d trade two McFaddens for one AP.
September 18th, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Priest,i’m not expecting him to carry a dam thing.i just want him to consistently complete the basic passes a decent college QB would routinely do.is that asking too much from someone who was the 1st pick in the draft.i’m also asking his apologists to be fair in their judgement of him.

JLH has dropped a few this preseason and I have said that but two ofthem were terribly thrown bythe Qbs and no one can dispute that. He dropped alot last year? Please name the alot please because I can name the only ones that he takes the wrap for. Go ahead because I’ve destroyed this argument many times and will do ti again. Try me. Yes the LBs in coverage were tripping and Howard told me that. Routt is another “I dont know” ass guy. Jano kicks usually go deep but the special teams coverage stunk man especially after that FG to go up 10-7. Changed the momentum of the game.

lets talk about how seymour made that dline a legit now. if all goes rigth this will be one of thebetter units in all of the nfl. the big thing to like was the kept stuffing the run in the 2nd half even whe sd got a few chunks. there was no big runs and the d really strung out a number of runs. if we could just get a little quicj=ker withat pass rush we’ll get even more sacks.
September 19th, 2009 at 12:29 am
brien cable will do what other coaches do late in games regardless of talent. if dmc cant be trusted to hold onto the ball he WILL NOT get carries over bush even fargas. if u have a lead in a tight game u are going to play keep away and a guy who fumbles gives u less opportunity to do that, plain and simple. cleveland gary out the U was a talented guy for the rams but fumbling jakced up his career. he had 13 in one season. im not sayin dmc will do that but he better start tuckin that thing away.

Armond,
I with you man. It’s amazing how one player has completely changed the complexion of this D-Line. I’m still waiting for that game in which Tommy Kelly really makes a name for himself. If you watch carefully, it really seems like he & Seymour both have the same demeanor on the field after plays. All the other players are running around high-fiving, but, those two seem like all-business. Now, if only Kelly would step up his play a bit, to match his huge talent potential.
September 19th, 2009 at 12:41 am
seymour gives this line a playmaker we havent had really since russell. difference is his head is into the game more than druss. its a shame what happened to darrell, he wouldve been 1 of the best if he was more serious. the fact that tkelly said he looked forward to studying how he PREPARES said all u needed to know. when was the last time anyone said that about loudmouth sapp?
September 19th, 2009 at 12:44 am
Armond………Sapp is a waste of space. Damn that idiot. He was nothing in Oakland and I enjoyed fliping him off in 2004 against the SD chargers for doing absolutely nothing.

Good analogy with Pippen. That’s exactly what needs to happen. I think if they draft another pass-rushing defensive end next year (either that or Scott needs to put on 20 lbs.), they can then move Seymour inside with Kelly and Warren becomes a backup.
Ellis on one side, Kelly & Seymour inside & another freak on the outside and you suddenly have something like the Giants have and there’s no need to rely on the blitzes that we all currently crave.

Don’t trip Oaklgenn. Thomas Howard told me today they werent in the prevent defense. Guys as usual screw it up because we have lacked discipline for so many years. No one I guess read Nnamdi’s comments about liking the defense but playing it wrong. How doyou play the prevent wrong? LOL and who in the world really calls a prevent defense while a team has timeouts lefts and are only down by 3? The Raiders were playing for overtime? People listen to yourselves and then think a little deeper.

silversmac thats exactly it. he gave them ATTITUDE which is silversmac thats exactly it. he gave them ATTITUDE which is what weve been screaming for in here for years. its amazing how attitude alone can make u better. kelly now just needs to play off of him like scottie pippen did jordan and its all good.now if we could add lb with the same ability to go with howard morrison u can be looking at a top 10 defense.

actually smac for some future draft talk i think we should get a beast lb first. depends on what we do in fa. warrens contract is up next year . do we resign him or get some other veteran. i like that bryant kid alot and shaugnessy 2. we lack a lb that makes plays all over the field sideline 2 sideline. thats why i like brandon spikes and cuz he is a young leader on that florida d. his theatrics and vibrant personality is what we need more of. intangibles is whats gonna make us better. u see some of his theatrics and its funny like when he faked being shot after getting pushed. someone who can get into the head of the opponent will go long ways.

Heyward-Bey has to step it up. There is only so much Z Miller and Murphy can do. But, I think that Murphy will be pretty good in this league. He should have had two TD’s.

From Michael Silver, Yahoo Sports:
Though I’ve been hard on the Oakland Raiders over the years, specifically (and most recently) questioning the management approach of Al Davis, that doesn’t mean I’m not sympathetic to their fans. It’s tough carrying around a suspicion that the world’s out to get you, and I felt Raider Nation’s pain after the fiasco that was the Tuck Rule (atrocious rule, dubious application) cost the team that 2001 playoff game in snowy Foxborough. I was too sleep-deprived to form a coherent opinion of whether the replay overturn of Louis Murphy’s apparent touchdown catch late in the first half of Monday night’s defeat to the Chargers was another injustice, but now I’m wide awake and channeling my inner Stephen Stills. To the tune of Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”, from the hypothetical vocal chords of Raiders employee and amorphous lackey John (Yes, Al) Herrera:
There’s somethin’ happenin’ here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man in a booth way up there
‘Bout to treat the Raiders unfair
I think it’s time we stop, Zebras, what’s that sound?
How you gonna bring the Raiders down?
As this review dawdles on
Thinkin’ up ways to do the Raiders wrong
Armed with unspeakable lies
He’d be a Cyclops with just one more eye
We’ve got to stop, Zebras, what’s that sound?
How you gonna bring the Raiders down?
What a field day for the Zebes
In stripes like eight Tim Donaghys
Blowin’ whistles and carrying flags
In the Black Hole they’re callin’ you (expletives)
Now we got to stop, hey, what’s that sound?
How you gonna bring the Raiders down?
Paranoia strikes deep
From Tuck Rule to Murphy’s leap
It started way back with Rozelle
Mike Perreira, whassup? I’ll see you in hell
We better stop, hey, what’s that sound?
How you gonna bring the Raiders down? …

I’m a free speech kind of guy too, but this is a Raider chat room and if he wants to spout his hatred, let him go to a national socialist blog.

I am not sticking up for Bob and I could care less about him getting kicked off. I dont mean to say you are right or wrong, I am just throwing some thoughts out there but they dont apply to you directly.
Andrews granddaddy taught me something at a young age. He taught me to stay away from extremes. The middle of the road is the best place to be and he said
Theres three types of people
1) those that want to control others
2) those who want to be controlled
3) those who dont want to be controlled and control others.
September 19th, 2009 at 7:42 am
Good thoughts from Andrews grandaddy. I don’t take most things on this site personally, and I didn’t take you to be judgemental.
September 19th, 2009 at 7:45 am
Besides bob will just use a proxy. He gets off on bashing JR too much to stay away.

Only with the Raiders!
Catch the Ball DHB!!!
You got all that money to catch the ball!!
Catch the Ball!!!
Work on your hands!!!
You can be great, but you have to invest time, money,and health!!
Look at Rice! He played till he was 40.
M Jordan did the same!
September 19th, 2009 at 8:26 am
Nothing says great pick like “hoping” a guy gets a catch in a game. LOL! DHB looked like a high school kid out there on Monday.
Number 7 overall pick= 0 catches, 2 drops. Nice.
September 19th, 2009 at 8:29 am
Yah but DHB can get double coverage while we wait for him to get his first catch. Decoy! LMFAO

September 19th, 2009 at 8:35 am
Just curious…..1988,6th player taken Tim Brown.What were his first game stats ? If I remember right it was against Denver and he did score either a punt or kick-off return,but what did he catch and for how many yards ?
September 19th, 2009 at 8:35 am

Nothing bad about lip-pucker when you want that contract extention. Yep, they are fast and with RS addition, getting phsical. I like it.
September 19th, 2009 at 8:46 am
Everyone in here is predicting now.
I predict that if we can get McFadden 25 touches and he doesn’t fumble we will win.
September 19th, 2009 at 8:49 am
that’s extension and physical. What happened to my spell check?
September 19th, 2009 at 8:51 am
I think Norco got himself banned. Glad to see that personally.
September 19th, 2009 at 8:51 am
I am predicting if we get to Arrowhead, we will win. Cassell will go down hard. Yep, I bet he starts.
September 19th, 2009 at 8:55 am

September 19th, 2009 at 8:57 am
or Thigpens…that guy killed us last year on 3rd down
September 19th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Raiders should go after the K.C run defense. Bush and McFadden all day!
Then throw in some playaction, 2 TE sets and screens.
Game over if they do this.
But this coaching staff isn’t very good at game management and that should give us all pause.
I fear Cable will force the pass and Davis will force the deep issue. Therefore keeping a game close that should be a blow out!
September 19th, 2009 at 9:02 am
You want Cassell to finish the game. Don’t want to have to worry about Croyle’s mobility.
September 19th, 2009 at 9:05 am

Florida Pete predicts:
Seymour goes to the Pro bowl…
we beat KC…
all the writers will say big deal, the Rams could beat KC…
we beat Denver…
all the writers will say big deal, the AFC west is the absolute worst divison in football…
we will beat the Texans…
all the writers will say big deal, the Texans are a horrible football team…
and they will say the Raiders are the worst 3-1 team in the history of organized sports…
we will be 4-4 at the bye week…
we will be 9-7 at the end to the season…
we will lose in the first round of the playoffs to… i don’t know!!!
Cable will be runner-up to Rex Ryan as coach of the year…
September 19th, 2009 at 9:16 am
Key to victory!
1. Work Bush & DMAC running and passing (35+ carries) and 5 to 8 receptions
2. Work Miller until K.C starts to double him
3. Get Myers in the game in 2 TE sets and run and pass out of this…including playaction
4. Take 1 deep shot per quarter
September 19th, 2009 at 9:17 am
Florida Pete,
All comes down to playcalling my friend. On the offense and the defense when there is a lead!
September 19th, 2009 at 9:17 am
I like that Pete…
September 19th, 2009 at 9:19 am
4eva,
That’s who I was thinking about, Thigpen. Thanks!
September 19th, 2009 at 9:22 am
I actually like how we used T Howard. I thought he had a great game outside of not accounting for Sproles on that 3rd and 12.
I think it’s a good idea to use his speed to defend half the field on that underneath stuff. Watch the back out of the backfield, watch the crossing patterns by the WRs.
Notice all the completions were going to Ricky Brown’s side on those last 2 drives. Let’s not forget about 11 for SD. Brown needs to step it up!
September 19th, 2009 at 9:22 am
SnB…
the thing about Cable is that i get sense that he has a very short learning curve…
i think he learns well… has good instincts and we won’t see the same mistakes twice…
the players learned a lot on monday night… and i think what learned is that they should be winning…
they physically match up with good teams… and now they need to physically beat those teams… without letting up…
i think Cable does have a killer instinct…
it won’t be cable leaving points on the field…
i like my predictions above…
September 19th, 2009 at 9:28 am
you’re quite welcome Jhill…oh and did I mention you da MAN 4 helping poor widdle Vegas when he was far far from home?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!
September 19th, 2009 at 9:29 am
Florida Pete,
I hope you are right on his “learning curve”…these arent’t the 1st glaring game day mistakes / roster mistakes this guy has made that have cost this team on the field.
I just want him to go with the flow of the game. He forced the pass issue in that 3rd QTR and almost abandoned the run game. He also doesn’t seem to know how to get the most use of his talent. DMAC should have looked like Sproles the whole game…Especially if DHB is supposedly taking a safety with him down the field.
That 4th QTR collapse was a replay of two or three games from last year.
Most guys are very tough on Russell or the players….I am tough on Cable. He and his staff needs to step it up
I would rather have Tollner call the plays to free Cable to manage the rest of the game. He should have stepped in with that defense a lot earlier…waiting to call a timeout when San Diego was at the 5 yd line…..he needs to step back and make sure the roster is being used (Myers, Bush) etc….
Anyway, the Raiders have the talent on the field…its up to the coaches to make it work
September 19th, 2009 at 9:30 am
Cable actually called a pretty good game, SnB. That bad stetch in the 3rd qtr was good D by SD and bad execution by JRuss and the WRs.
1st play in the 3rd qtr, Williams blows up Morris and we take a 1 yard loss on a run to McFadden. I guess we can nitpik and say that Cable could have come back on 2nd down with a screen play, or a 2 TE set and looked for a TE, but the pass plays he called were solid. JRuss’s passes were just bad,
The next series, DHB and Murphy flat out drop balls that were put right on them. It is what it is.
Marshall’s calls had PLENTY of 3rd and longs on the those last 2 scoring drives in the 4th qtr.
Players just have to do a better job. The coaches had these guys ready to play.

Why was Ricky Brown on the field during a 2 minute drill?
All that speed on defense and Ricky Brown is chasing down receivers and Sproles?

I understand that Gelson’s may be a much more popular chain up North. No one is arguing that.

Guys, the team is good. San Diego was ripe for the picking and now we left them like a bunch of bruised apples. This year will be different for them. A good start, and they will begin to falter. sproles is too small to take a beating and Bennett to old. They wish they had our guys.. they would be content with fargas.
We simply left to many points out there with the turnovers and bad call… I would say we left about at least 10 pts.. more than enough to win that game.

Wow let me guess……..I’m racist right? Where is that weak little shrimp of a man Slithered n Crap?
I actually find bigoted or so called racist humor very amusing. I’m like the creator of Family guy…….everyone can get clowned on evenly. I think its fair. If its funny or true just roll with it or go choke on something.

Question of the year……Can Jahvid Best little ass run for crazy yards on SC’s defense? I dont know man. He is a big play machine but Shane Vereene has more weight to withstand those blue chip hits. Oct 3rd will be fun

Well yes and no. Because of soft little punks like Slithered n Crap or G–Daze49(HayesDaze37) alot of complaints have reign down and caused a shift in how we party. you can burn something but man you gotta be cool because the storm troopers are walking around heavy trying to bust anyone. I remember a time earlier this decade when people were poppin pills, burning grapes and doing lines before games. Good times lol

4eva, that is because you are a real man. You know who else is? Bo Slimdicher Johnson. That guy is funny and knows how to clown. He also knows how to take it. Me and him disagree on some things but at least he mans up.
If you cant laugh at yourself then you cant laugh at anyone else.

My god Cal what the hell man!!!
I hate the helmet to helmet rule! If you get smacked then so be it. Football is so pu$$ified now its makes me want to puke. Then the safety is an idiot and gets a PI called when Minny held and wiped the play out! Andthe same idiot has a chance to kill the WR and doesnt. Next play Touchdown! Dammit. Right before the half. I bet those Paul Bunyan loving bastards feel they have a shot now.

Thats the impression I get from all events. The feds stepped up the war on the people instead of legalizing like we hoped. And now they have the stormtroppers ready with everything from full body ammo to night vision, to rifles that the public cannot own.
Combine that with new crowd suppression toys and the people will have their work cut out for them if they ever again have to fight for the right to live free and smoke hemp.

Its crazy isnt it? That is why I am the way I am and just try to have fun before the lights get turned out. I been telling everyone for over a year on this blog the shut down of society is happening in this country. But these Obama-ites wont listen. Its okay though.

Brien I remember talking with you about that last year more then once. It wont be long now. I bought those ticks on the CC and I will be suprised if I get the chance to use them and I may not be paying back the CC either. I stayed out of debt so far and am about to go shopping.
September 19th, 2009 at 10:43 am
4eva, you know its more now. I never got a ticket for burning. The cops would just jack me for my stash man. Hell thats better than a ticket though
Plunkett yep it wont be long
