Miller returns, Bowie to IR
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 at 11:40 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders placed defensive back John Bowie on injured reserve to make room for Justin Miller, who will return kickoffs Sunday against the Houston Texans.
Guard Brandon Rodd was added to the practice squad. Although Louis Rankin has a locker with a name plate and is still full of equipment,, the running back was signed to the practice squad of the Seattle Seahawks.
More to come later . . .

That’s ok, 4eva. I feel you are on the virge of turning the corner, as well.
September 30th, 2009 at 11:51 am
We just can’t shake Bowie, can we?
I think he needs to live with Nnamdi for a while, maybe he can flourish many seasons down the road.
Like someone else said, Gannon should be Russell’s QB/Life coach and keep the cheeseburger out of his mouth. Whoever that was, priceless.

Wow looks like the Seahawks will get a new running back soon. I would not be surprised if Rankin went on to become the next Alexander running the ball.
September 30th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
See ya legend. You’re not a real fan anyway… don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out…
September 30th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
LMAO the sad part is I understand his pain. Don’t do it legend it is not worth it “DON”T JUMP!!!!” and become a Broncos fan.

Gus,
Nah, we released him from the 53 man roster to promote Holland to return kicks instead.
He had to clear waivers, and Seattle most likely beat us to the punch. He’s a U Dub guy, so it makes sense. No reason we can’t get him back if he gets cut again, I don’t think.
We put Bowie on IR to get J. Miller to return kicks.

DMAC
I’d rather see us use one of the Burgess picks on a QB as an insurance policy.
Late round pick, no problem. Another top 10 QB commanding top 10 dollars and top 10 playing time?
We won’t cut ties with Russell for some time, IMO.
September 30th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Any team can sign any player off another teams practice squad at any time as long as they add that player to their active roster.
September 30th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Isn’t Rankin like a foot taller than Jones Drew?

That’s exactly right. So you all might as well relax give this guy some support and watch him develop. It’s the best option for all of us right now.

Were we really terrible last week or is Dever a solid team??????????
September 30th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
It does not make a difference if we signed miller or not, yeah he might break free for a touch down her and there but the bottom line is we need our OFFENSE to produce. Dumbmarcus (Bag O Doughnuts) Russell is no the answer, never will be. He is a box of rocks with no leadership skills and that is going to get us nowhere but a top five pick again. That being said we should throw in Gradowski, or Frye, at least they will manage the game better. I really think we have a decent team, We just need a QB who can manage our offense. Thank god I am working sunday so i wont have a chance to see the raiders fall on there face again, as long as Russell is the QB we will suck
September 30th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
2010 is going to be an uncapped year so it will be a great time to get rid of players without having to worry about it destroying the salary cap.
September 30th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Could it be that DMAC is underperforming, because of that turf toe last year? He’s still wearing those Nikes and I do recall him wearing Addidas in college.
September 30th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
One thing about Tebow, the team that gets him will not have to worry about his work ethic. I don’t know if he will make a good NFL quarterback, but he is intelligent and he will work hard.
September 30th, 2009 at 12:38 pm

Tim Tebow?
September 30th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
All draft picks next year need to be used on linemen on both sides (OC, OG, OT DT and LB’s). We are set at saftey, CB, RB, TE and WR for next year. A GOOD young, smart QB would be nice also. Will any of this happen. More than likley the answer is no…
September 30th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
An impression of my entire section las Sunday as those two INT’s were leaving JaBiscuit’s fat, meaty hand: “WHO ARE YOU THROWING IT TO?!”
September 30th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
No to Tebow. I want a QB from the west coast.

====================================================
Denver has very good players on their offensive and defensive lines. But what really killed us is McFadden’s three fumbles. Think I am kidding?? Go watch the tape on NFL.com. In fact just watch the first two plays. You see McFadden cough up the ball that results in an 8 yard loss. Russell hits Bush on a nice pass in the flat for a good gain the next play but not near enough to overcome “McFumblors” mistake. Then “McFumblor” coughs it up again at midfield on the drive where we actually got points. Then, McFumblor coughs it up again at the Denver 4, sealing the loss.
September 30th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
I wouldn’t mind Tebow as an undrafted free agent. We could use another cheerleader to go along with Southwick.
September 30th, 2009 at 12:44 pm

No reason for the Raiders to draft a QB we can’t develop them. It would be a waste of time and talent. Our only luck is to find one who has already been schooled on someone elses bench and bring him over with lots of cash and candy.

Not unless you want rosaries and crusifixes on the Silver and Black.
I know he’s a firey guy and everything, but we already have three RBs, and I think that’s all he is.
Tebow doesn’t have the kind of arm Davis is interested in, IMO. We’d have to be moving in a different direction if that were the case.

Our only hope is that Al doesn’t realize that next year’s draft starts on Thursday night…hopefully he only wakes up for the late rounds on Saturday!
I’ll sneak in Thursday and Friday and draft only o-line, d-line and LBers. Al can draft all the WRs, CBs, TEs, and S he wants to on Saturday.
Really, most of the guys at the top of Al’s board should still be available on Saturday anyhow lol.

Actually, I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea for Lal to take the WRs to basketball camp. Learn to box out defenders, shield the ball from them, extend for the rock in the post. Actually jump for the thing.
As far as I’m concerned, Zach Miller is our best WR at this point. Let’s hope Chaz is in good form when he gets back, hopefully in time for H-Town, but I would still prefer he wait another week just to be sure he’s close to as 100 as possible and ready to rock.

***
He’s a smart kid, a hard worker, a leader and a winner. plain & simple. thats what you want in a QB. may not be able to throw 70 yards downfield, but who cares? He’s accurate. He can get the ball to the playmakers on offense. He won’t hold the O back or put the defense in a position to fail, like JR does

Anybody have thoughts on a vet QB that might be on the market before the trade deadline this season? JRuss is just not cutting it, we have better luck with vets anyway. There is not another QB out there that would have a worse rating than Russell.

September 30th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
For all the Al Davis haters out there, I have a question, if all steps down, dies, etc.. and his son Mark takes over, what makes you think anything will be any different?
September 30th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
This is my take on the Raider Hating that is so rampant lately. Look at it this way. All the “current” media, all of them, news, internet, tv, etc.. even broadcasters are at the age now where they once either played against the Raiders or rooted against the Raiders. The Raider teams they played or rooot against at that time were some of the best teams to ever dawn the Silver and Black. Tom Jackson, ESPN, as an example. Jim Nance (former player), Dan Marino, Boomer, Shannon, the list goes on and on. All former players who were smacked around by the Raider or watched their favorite teams lose to the Raiders. With all this being said, F THEM. F THEM ALL. They are just haters. We will return, and for the FIRST time in my life, I admit, it will only happen when Al Davis isn’t physically attached to this team anymore. He must go.
