Holland ready for new responsibilities
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, September 25th, 2009 at 2:12 pm in Oakland Raiders.
News and notes from the Raiders’ practice Friday:
– Jonathan Holland last returned kickoffs in the 2008 preseason finale, averaging 35.5 yards on two attempts against the Seattle Seahawks with a long of 43 yards. Before that, he hadn’t returned kickoffs since his freshman year at Louisiana Tech.
“I guess they remembered that, and now they’re giving me the shot to do it all over again,” Holland said.
Holland failed to make the 53-man roster as a wide receiver and was brought back to the practice squad when coach Tom Cable had a surprising suggestion.
“He came to me with the idea of playing defense and he told me it would be the quickest way to get on the roster and contribute to the special teams,” Holland said. “I was like, cool, anything to get back on the team.”
The Raiders had two kickoff returns for touchdowns last season from Justin Miller, who was cut to in favor of undrafted rookie free agent Nick Miller. When Nick Miller came up with a broken bone in his shin, the Raiders turned to Louis Rankin. Rankin had 108 yards on six returns, an 18.0 average which tied him for 50th in the NFL.
Holland excelled on kickoff coverage after being promoted from the practice squad last season on Dec. 4, with a tackle and an assist in a win over Houston and three solo tackles in the season finale against the Buccaneers.
That skill, plus his speed, convinced the Raiders Holland was worth a try in the secondary.
“That first week of meetings I was kind of in there, scratching my head saying, `What’s going on?,’ ” Holland said. “We actually meet at 6:30 every morning, so it got me caught up to what’s going on, got a grasp of it real quick.”
Cable said Holland could play defense in certain packages which would keep him in man-to-man coverage.
“Based on what we do, there really isn’t a lot to it when you’re playing man coverage,” Cable said.
– By now, Erik Pears has grown accustomed to the curse of his height. At 6-foot-8, getting leverage against a squatty interior lineman can be a challenge.
“I’ve been hearing since the first day I started playing football, `You’ve got to get lower,’ ” Pears said.
Pears has never started a game at a guard in the United States, his last game there coming in 2005 in an NFL Europe game in Germany. He said he is growing accustomed to operating in a phone booth.
“It’s just a different animal that you’re facing,” Pears said. “You’ve got the quicker guys (outside). They’re all quick, but the amount of space in between outside there, they’re lining up outside. At guard they’re right on top of you, so it kind of happens a little bit quicker. But when it boils down it’s all football.”
It helps that Pears has a role model already in place. Robert Gallery, the man Pears is replacing, is 6-foot-7 and made a nice adjustment inside.
“As Cooper (Carlisle) said, we went from the tallest guard in the NFL to an even taller guard,” Pears said.
– Free safety Hiram Eugene (leg) has improved, but did not practice and is officially listed as doubtful, with Michael Huff taking over as the every down free safety. WR Chaz Schilens, Gallery and Nick Miller were all declared out.
– Defensive end Richard Seymour did not practice, but was being rested, according to Cable.
“Just resting his legs,” Cable said. “No issue there.”
– Tyvon Branch is so strong on special teams the Raiders have been hesitant to reduce his role in that area even though he plays every down at strong safety.
Punter Shane Lechler said Branch made a solo tackle on one of his punts that was so impressive it may as well have been put on a video loop.
“He made a tackle coming off a double team that was just textbook,” Lechler said. “We watched it about 10 times in film. It was exactly how you’re supposed to do it, but only a few people actually can.”
Cable said only part of what Branch does on special teams can be taught.
“I think you teach the how-to part of it and the responsibility-part of it, but the want-to is the individual.
And that’s something that makes him rare,” Cable said.

September 25th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
So Holland is going to only be playing in a dime package then and only if he HAS to im assuming?
September 25th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
“He made a tackle coming off a double team that was just textbook,” Lechler said. “We watched it about 10 times in film. It was exactly how you’re supposed to do it, but only a few people actually can.”
That’s what I want to hear! Branch plays with fire…
September 25th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
Man. . . .
I’d like to see what Branch, Huff & Mitchell looks like for the next couple of years.
For the first time in about a decade we seem to have some real legit safety potential back there.
September 25th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Again, no Southwick news…
September 25th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
WE got a good blend going on the defence!!!
They’re getting their own personality and it is waaaaay fun watching it happen.And it’s only going 2 get better
September 25th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Black out rule is so stupid man.
I’m a season ticket holder and so many times, by game time, the game has sold out and the fans at home get screwed and not get to see their team on TV.
The NFL is normally a very smart money-making machine.
But when it comes to this policy, can’t they realize they’re only shooting themselves in the foot?
September 25th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Still on the Southwick stuff jeeze.

******************************************
Eva,
I totally agree man. They look totally different to me this year and it all starts up front on the D-Line. I think Seymour is exactly the kick-in-the-ass some of these guys (a.k.a. Kelly, Warren, Sands, Morrison, Howard) needed.
It’s not that they weren’t playing hard before. But Seymour’s presence is an in-your-face display of a guy who has superbowl rings and if you want some on your own fingers, then you gotta bring it EVERY play, EVERY game.
September 25th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Tyvon Branch is playing very well. In fact, watching the tape of the first half at KC again, the whole team played pretty well. Even Jam did not look that bad 2nd time thru. He was 0 for his first five, but the lst inc pass to DHB was right on the money, one of the screen pass incompletions was the result of a guy coming up the gut completely untouched, and he threw a couple of excellent balls late in the half one to Murphy for a crucial lst down conversion, and one DHB for his lst career reception, a beautiful screen to Bush, all of which resulted in points. It would be nice if he could get off to a fast start. That would quiet the critics some.
September 25th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
WOW I would do that 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 25th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Something tells me the Oakland Coliseum is going to be rocking!! And it’s a black out. A silver and black out!!
September 25th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
I agree with all of that however we need to score points to win. With how our passing game has struggled, Denver is going to be putting guys in the box as well, plus we havn’t seen their 3-4 first hand yet…
September 25th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
He always did have a bit of the hound dog in him.
And we must admit that red haired lasses must be wooed
Better him then you, Bo

***************************************************
I would and here’s why:
1. Seymour changes our entire D-Line.
2. No Mike Shanahan
3. J-Russ has never had a bad game against the Donkeys. Even in that season-opening blow-out, he was actually pretty good. And the last game against them may have been his best to date.
4. No Jay Cutler. Put 8 guys in the box and whipe out Denver’s run game. Orten isn’t gonna beat you.
5. Because this team realizes they have the chance to do something they haven’t done in 7 years. . .Be above .500
We’re gonna get it done this Sunday, trust me.
September 25th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Does anyone know of a place local where one can watch the blacked out game? or how far does one have to travel?
September 25th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Where is everyone today?
September 25th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
NFL ticket, etc won’t show it if it’s blacked out.
September 25th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
75 miles i think, dont know much about the sunday ticket deal though
September 25th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Headbutt – Put your money on us! It’s been a loooooooong time since we’ve been favorites in a divisional game, and for Vegas to have us at -1 means the oddsmakers think we’ll definitely win this game. Either that or they’re trying to trap everybody.

we talked a bit about that yesterday, Im pretty sure they won’t show it either because they would get their feed from the local media and if they aren’t covering it they are SOL, although im sure the donkies media will be there im not sure why they dont use that, NFL rules I guess
September 25th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
I meant +1
September 25th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
+1 is the closest the oddsmakers will ever get to saying “We think the Raiders will win this game”!
September 25th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Well, I had to buy a ticket, damned blackout.
I see Bey getting more confident, Murphy and Russell getting good, the 2 Back pounding the rock, the Defense very emotional, the House Rocking.
September 25th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Welcome back, Jonnie!
Jonathan is as good a WR as either Watkins or Nick Miller, and is talented enough to play multiple positions and Special Teams. His “easy” switch to DB shows just what a special athlete he is. Holland can flat-out play football, and he should’ve never been cut from the 53-man squad.
With a WR corps that’s prone to injury, Jonnie Holland might just play both ways for us some time down the road, too.
Yeah, we remember those beautiful long returns Holland had a few years ago. Brilliant. But, there were also a few with, umm, less-than-desirable results (to say the least).
No more alligator-arms, flinches, and poor decisions…it’s time now for him to come into his own, and make himself a career — starting by becoming a great Special Teamer.
Optimism, baby. Feels good!
It’s a great day to be a Raiders fan. Isn’t it?
September 25th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
WE ALL SEEING THAT KK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 25th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
KoolKell:
Cool that you bought your ticket – we need all the fans out there that we can get.
But what you did is exactly what the NFL want.
They want to forced people to go and do what you did.
But my problem with the rule is that if someone truly can’t afford to go to the game, they’re not going. Period. So, why punish someone for that?
That’s so not cool.
September 25th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
They want to “force”, not “forced”.
Sorry.
Typing too fast!
September 25th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Yeah, we’re already 2-0 ATS and I’ve put my money on ‘em the past two weeks.
September 25th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
KK, I thought you were never going to give Al any of your hard earned cash. Even you are changing your tune. (Just kidding.) Actually, that is the way I feel about the Oakland A’s. I will go to games if someone hands me a pass, but I will not give Wolf/Fisher a dime of my cake.
September 25th, 2009 at 3:09 pm

Great day indeed to be a Raider fan!!!
We’re gonna be 2-1 in the division, in first place in the division, and above .500 for the first time in 7 years!
September 25th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
I put money on them last week! me and one other guy in my whole pool picked them and we ended up winning by one game lol
September 25th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
It’s ALL GOOD GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IN ONE LOUD VOICE HEARD AROUND THE WORLD…

YEP THAT FELT GRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT
September 25th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
So, somebody give me their take on this:
Is it going to be Namdi on Marshall the whole game? I hope so.
And is it going to be C. Johnson on E. Royal the whole game? I hope so again.
And this time, no D’Angelo Hall. Cheers to that!
September 25th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Don’t they have like $1.00 nite at the A’s games?

Tyvon Branch plays the same way on defense as he does on ST. Late in the lst half at KC you see them throw a screen play and Branch is doubled, he shoves one guy off, and doesn’t get credited with the tackle, but certainly blows up the play. He has been playing very well for us this season.

He wiped out Mario Williams both times he’s faced him.

Elvis Dumervil’s emergence: Matched up against Browns Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas last week, Dumervil was outstanding, finishing with four sacks. He has been the Broncos’ best pass rusher since he joined the team in 2006 and will look to build on his success from Week 2 this Sunday against Russell and the Raiders.
September 25th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
If Dumervil got four sacks on Joe Thomas, I would say we have a problem. Of course, most of those sacks were probably Brady Crapp holding the rock too long. Sending a TE or FB in motion to his side to wham him at the snap might slow him down some.

September 25th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Bush should be the starting running backs. Schilens when he gets healthy and Murphy should be the starting wides. Gradkowski should start at quarterback.
September 25th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
TV Blackout? The NFL doesn’t “force” anyone to buy a ticket. Just like nobody is “entitled” to watch an NFL game on Sunday. There MUST be a cut-off time for ticket sales vs blackout…otherwise, the games would have 30,000 people at them every week (not just in Oakland, either).
If anything…they should change the rule from 72-hours to 48-hours before…giving all teams a little extra time (esp. in this economy).
Sad truth is…even when the Raiders are doing as well as any other team (yeah, rare lately…until this season)…the Coliseum’s a hard place to fill up.
As our great Raiders “fan” friend KK just illustrated… he’d rather take the free TV version of “his” team, while slamming everything Al Davis does…and only goes to the game right down the street from him when he’s “forced” to.
All those City/area improvements that could be funded by Raiders-related business success in Oakland? Cleaning up/developing the area around the stadium? All that takes money…and that money needs to come into the ticket counter at game time, or there ARE NO FUNDS.
So, instead of hammering Al for failing to support the City…KK should be looking in the mirror and asking himself why he, himself, doesn’t support his hometown more by buying tix regularly…
…instead of expecting all of us other ticket buyers to fund his rather unhealthy Raiders relationship.
Now, he’ll take his $30 ticket and complain when they won’t let him into the private suites. Must be those Al Davis-loving, Alameda-hating racists at work again!

What a stupid rule. I understand that the NFL wants to fill up the stadiums, but their rent is paid by those billion dollar TV contracts.

I really like that Cable quote about Fargas- “he runs so violently”!!!
Yes he does!

Start Bush, alternate with Cable and run McFadden outside.

Quickest way to get more sell-outs? Simple.
Win more games. The Raiders must WIN MORE GAMES!
And they will.
It most certainly is a great day to be a Raiders fan. A great season to be a Raiders fan!
———————
So THAT’S it?
Win and you sell out.
Lose and you don’t?
Um…I have a question.
Since 1981 the Niners have sold out each and every game, every year. With playoff games that’s almost 300 GAMES IN A ROW they have sold out.
Yet they haven’t been to the SB in over a decade..
So, what can you deduce from this?
Niner fans are much more loyal and diehard than Raider fans…..
And your theory has holes in it.
September 25th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
I will take your no response as an affirmative, Richochet. Its an industry standard lol:) Deep down you wave your pom poms for the silver and black.

everybody is jocking the bronco d that statiscally looks good. 13 pts. allowed in 2 gms, they held cin. to 7 when cin. lit up GB. i watched most of that cin, den. game and observed a very sloppy, un-rythymed o by cin. with at least 3-5 drops for big gains. hearing about den. vs. cle., it was a close game all the way to the 4th then a couple turnovers made it laughable. cle. has been as bad as there is right now. dummervile is small but very quick around the edge, so lets run right at him. i say run right at them from the start, set the tone and lay some hats on ‘em. thats what we didn’t do in kc and it cost us. run counters and screens to keep ‘em unbalanced. imo

Troll — Don’t even try to engage me in debate.
You have nothing else for me but, “Win and you sell-out. Lose and you don’t?”
Ummm, no Troll — I didn’t say that at all. I said the Raiders need to win more games. That would be the quickest way to sell-out more games.
All you want is to scrape, Troll — Not a real debate about anything worth much time. Enjoy your misery with your other troll buddies, and the other troll personalities you use. But arguing just to argue is an art form you and yours deserve just for yourselves…rolling in your own misery.
No thanks.

Fool..”engage you in debate”?? Are you serious?
You’re defenseless. When have you NOT been defenseless?
I expect more in a rebuttal from the board clowns and tools before I expect your sorryass to muster a cohesive thought.
no, little whiner..I dictate..you listen. I correct, you humbly shut the hell up, and wisely bow out.
You know, I know..hell everyone knows your best defense is no defense..just jump in the fetal position, and shut the hell up.
Don’t make me tell you again.
BTW..salt in the wound for ya..YOUR ANALOGY WAS CRAP..point was WINNING ISN’T GOING TO DO IT.
Here’s something else you fake fans likely don’t know, including you, that in ‘02? During the playoff run? Where JT the Brick was BEGGING FANS TO SHOW UP AND SUPPORT THE TEAM? Week 15 or so was BLACKED OUT..in a game that helped decide home field advantage..so SAVE YOUR IDIOT REPLYS..fool..because even when the Raiders WENT TO THE SUPER BOWL, GAMES WERE STILL BLACKED OUT.
Now..back in your hole..shut the hell up..and pretend you COULD say something..if you ever found your balls.
We both know neither will ever..happen..period.

Could also be what Oakgleen uses to copy all of his..uh…home movies of him and his chihuahua onto a disc..
which is not to be confused with the “burner” which was 408’s last date..where he took her to Fisherman’s Wharf, and, without entering a single fish market, went home with the “craps”.
All kinds of labels for burners..which can be confused with the 1970’s “stoners”, which should not be confused with the munchies..
Pop quiz..what is the most frequently asked question of the topic de jour “burners’??
“hey dude..what were we talking about, man…I forgot”

…he’d be smart enough to look a few posts earlier and see the point about sell-outs, and the Raiders problems with them, WIN OR LOSE, was already made.
By ME.
But, like all trolls…ignoring fact is not only habit, it’s a lifestyle.
Again…no debate from the troll…just incendiary comments designed to annoy…in a weak attempt to engage ANYBODY for an excuse for a relationship. Screaming for attention, good or bad…what a way to go through life.
September 25th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Actually the rule works as they want it to. Those people that buy tickets on saturday instead of thursday is the reason for the black out. If there was no black out rule they wouldn’t be buying up those last minute seats.

Ic, so clearly based on that Denver is going to do the same thing. With the same receiving core in the game this week, the game really is in the hands of JR. Regardless if other people are going to say it was everyone on offense. If the throws are not good we will not win.
September 25th, 2009 at 5:09 pm

Again, this weeks divisional match up will come down to who turns the ball over and who doesn’t.
It would be nice if Oaklands offense suddenly came alive, but Mike Nolan has their D at least trying.
We should be able to control the line even with out Gallery who I’m not sure was on pace to have a good year before the injury.
Handled KC’s D line which I think is infifnitely more talented than starters DE Ryan McBean, NT Ronald Fields and DE Kenny Peterson.
Elvis Dummerville had a big day against Cleveland and we’ll see how Mario Henderson does against his first real pass rush challenge this season.
Oddly, to me at least, this will be the 3rd 3-4 defense in a row Oakland faces, all coming from divisional rivals.
Knock on wood Oakland has done better than expected in protection.
Some of that defintely has to do with Michael Bush and Darren McFadden’s markedly improved protection.
Merriman apparently hurt his widdle ankle against the Raiders and thats his excuse for not excelling this year.
Right…

You have to wonder about what type of person bashes the one team that gave him a chance and he actaully shined for. Especially since he hasn’t been aroung the team since he left. He is clearly bitter at something that happened here.
Is he really claiming disfunction while he was here? Dysfunctioned to all those wins and a SB trip?
Funny Shyt!

September 25th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Ban Gannon? LMFAO…wow..a New low for the Raiders.
see?? HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS TEAM? What other team provides this much nonstop entertainment?
This is a guy who just lightened up, and actually tossed out some props to Cable, and painted a less than total disaster picture about JaFatass, and now the Raiders pull this little tantrum, you can’t come in, you hurt our widdle feelings, professionalism has nothing to do with our decision, we don’t care if we’re laughed at..still..we’re locking the door?
And you DON’T THINK YOU’LL BE YET ANOTHER LAUGHINGSTOCK? lol…oh man…I love it.
Now? Gannon will be GOING OUT OF HIS WAY to crap on the Raiders..ex players? They’ll be running the “See?? That’s how it is with the Raiders. Very bush league.”
Al has officially lost it.
I can just see him..snarling..with those dark yellow teeth (does Al the Hermit know there are such things as tooth brushes? Maybe a trip to the dentist? Some whitener? SOMETHING?) calling in Herrera..”Gannon is announcing the game? No HE’S NOT. Oh no..he’s not coming in the parking lot. He’s not going anywhere. You call security right now”
YOU CAN’T BUY THIS KIND OF ENTERTAINMENT.
Some day? When Al is gone? Someone is going to have a best seller “THE BONEHEAD ACTS OF AN OWNER PAST HIS PRIME”.

Until the Raiders traded for Seymour….a lot of people were clamoring for D-Line help…even in the 4th round.
And those “booing” actually had a point….look at the difference in the defensive play since they added a difference maker to the D-Line
September 25th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Richocet,
How many times can someone post that they don’t like the Raiders?
Do you have any other tricks?
September 25th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
I dont mean to take anything away from Seymour but Tyvon is a hell of a football player. Fast and hits hard.
I just think Tyvon was a great pick in Al’s often maligned draft skills.
September 25th, 2009 at 6:14 pm

Gannon could have said worse, i think he tried to be fair. He also dissected alot of film before he said what he said. He did the work and can have an opinion. I thought he really took it easy on Russell in comparison to some others.
September 25th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Then the Raiders wonder why they get poor coverage from the media. Very Tacky the way they treated Gannon today.
They just don’t get it.
September 25th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
One day Al will be gone and we will all miss the good old days when the Raiders were Als team.
The grass is seldom greener on the other side of the block wall. Al spends money and tries hard to win.
Many owners run it as a business and a playoff game is a very very rare event for them.
Take Scary Jones and the Dallas Cowbutts.
Did you know they have not won a playoff game in something like 14 years. Al would never put up with that kind of crap.
Yes sir I am glad Al is still large and in charge.
Best year ever!!
September 25th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
They played a couple weak teams, just like the Raiders did. The AFC West is really that terrible, but hey, maybe we can be the best of the worst.
September 25th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
you guys need to do a Gannon tries to get into the building skit and the players start talking about what kind of defense to use and Cable charges out and whups Gannons ass in the parking lot
