Asomugha vs. Johnson
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, October 1st, 2009 at 8:09 am in Oakland Raiders.
Two of the NFL’s most understated superstars square off Sunday when Nnamdi Asomugha attempts to lock down Houston wide receiver Andre Johnson. Johnson caught just two passes for 19 yards in last season’s 27-16 win in Oakland, although coach Tom Cable noted weather conditions (wet and sloppy) had a lot to do with it.
Johnson didn’t catch a pass until Asomugha left the game due to injury. Johnson was available to Bay Area reporters Wednesday by conference call, and Asomugha talked with Texans beat writers. Some observations from each player on playing the other:
Johnson: “He’s a great player, probably the best cornerback in the league. I didn’t really get many opportunities in that game. He’s a tough person to go against.”
Asomugha: “You’re talking about one of if not the top receiver in the league. Any time you get a guy with his size and his strength and his speed, you’re going to have some matchup problems, and there’s a lot of ways that he can hurt you whether it’s running the ball, whether it’s deep, whether it’s short. He’s got all the intangibles. So he always presents a problem for any corner around the league.”
Johnson: “Most of the time they’re in man-to-man, and they do a good job of mixing it up. They’ll make it look like man, and it’s really not man. They do a lot of man coverage, though, and it’s just something you have to go out and beat. Against a guy like Nnamdi, it’s a big challenge.”
Asomugha:“ Whether I’ve had success on him or not, he’s still been a challenge. He’s been one of my greatest challenges that I face each week. Each year, it’s one of those things where you look at the schedule and you see who the top guys are that you’re going to face, and you see Houston on the schedule, you know you’re going to have a battle any time you’re going to have to play against that type of a receiver. So I don’t know; I just play my game and try my best and see how successful how I can be. But he’s a great player.”
Johnson: “I think it depends on the defensive call. Sometimes he’s on me, sometimes he’s not. It really depends on their defense.”
Asomugha: “I think every year that we play him, there’s a plan together where I’ll be on him the majority of the time. Not all the time, but there’ll be a lot of situations where he goes to the left or the right or wherever he goes where I’ll end up on him. But it won’t be every single snap. Just as far as game plans in the past, it’s never been every snap, but we’ve always had some sort of plan together.”
Johnson: ``He doesn’t talk at all (on the field). He’s a cool guy. I asked him for a loan when he signed his new contract, asked him if he could loan me a million dollars. I love going against him because when go up against a guy of that caliber it’s always a challenge and you get a chance to see where your game’s at.”
Asomugha: “I’m sure we’ll talk more after the game as opposed to before the game, but yeah, definitely. I’ve known the type of talent he was since high school. I’ve met him since college and in the Pro Bowl and all that stuff. We have each other’s number. We talk in the offseason every now and then. He’s a really good guy.”

Andre Johnson is the best WR in the nfl,imo

Beating A. Johnson is a reward in itself. An extremely gratifying and relaxing experience.

DHB is going to be the next Andre Johnson!
October 1st, 2009 at 8:35 am
trade Javon Walker, Nick Miller, Holland, Watkins, Justin Fargas and our 2010 1st rounder for Andre Johnson
then trade Russell to the Panthers for A.J. Feeley
cut Gradkowski. start Southwick
13-3 next year

FYI, to anyone with investments right now. Yesterday was was is called a “key reversal” where the market is one way all day and than it dramatically goes the other way the last hour or so. Usually that signals a beginning of a trend. Yesterday the market was up all day and fall apart at the end and today the market is down around 150 points right now.
Remember I called it on the way up after another key reversal back in March when I was still in the business, and I am calling it on the way down right now.
Just trying to help my people.
October 1st, 2009 at 8:43 am
Edward,
Yep, it is getting chilly here too…in the 40s today. Looks like we might be in for a long, cold winter.
We had a very mild summer…only went over 100 degrees a few times…usually means we get nailed in the winter.

Now that Aso has the #1 WR locked up, let’s start to focus on the 3rd wr/rb out of the backfield.
The dump off pass has killed our D for years, and it got us good last week.

No way Mike Singletary would be allowed to do his thing in Oakland, like he’s doing in SF.
No way any Coach in Oakland is allowed to develop anything organically in the locker-room between players and coaches. The stuff that produces fidelity, and emotional investment, esprit d’ corp. All the shyt that’s lacking in Oakland. All because Al Davis is shining the light on himself. Up in his office playing fantasy football with the Raiders.

Van: Houston still has Steve Slaton, Chris Brown, Jacoby Jones, Kevin Walter & Owen Daniels if we take Andre Johnson out of the game. QB Matt Schaub has a QB Rating of 101.9 right now against tough defenses like the Jets, Titans & Jags.
Raiders need to play good offense. I think our defense is solid as long as they aren’t put in bad field position by the O or on the field way to long and get gassed.

Without any salary cap next year we can cut JR without getting hit. IMO JR will NEVER be a quality NFL starting quarterback. Let him finish the season and be 1-15. Start over next year without him.
October 1st, 2009 at 9:39 am
Russell is under contract until after the 2012 season.
Al Davis may be patient enough to wait this year & next, but thats it.
2011 somebody else will be in there and Russell will be holding a clipboard on a different team or out of the league. mark my words
I also think Al’s sticking to Russell at QB decision will cost Cable, Tollner & Hackett their jobs. Will be another HC search either this offseason or next unless somebody gets a capable QB in there beforehand …
October 1st, 2009 at 9:47 am
No matter what happens this year, they need to keep Cable as the HC, and remove him from play-calling. Replacing the coach and staff on a near yearly basis is a complete recipe for disaster, especially for this young and mentally weak team.
I like Cable as a “rah-rah” guy, and the fact that he got the troops to play inspired ball the last two weeks last year was pretty amazing. He is in over his head as an NFL play-caller however.
And I would say replace the DC, but Al will just bring in another minion who believes in the same defensive philosophy as Al, as old and tired as it is.
October 1st, 2009 at 9:48 am
hey wishbone
phuk that i don’t want to be 1 and 15 unless it causes al davis to lose his team. that would be the only circumstance i would accept 1 and 15
boycott all games hit al in his wallet if he cannot fund day to day operations he will lose his team.

Deep within the fortified walls of the Legion of Doom (Oakland Raiders Headquarters – Alameda, CA), the undisputed Leader of Darkness, Supreme Commander of the Silver & Black, champion of the Big Play and eternal advocate of superior warriors winning one on one battles with lesser beings with slower 40 times, awaits his right hand man, The Cable Guy.
Assembled before him is the Core of the Silver & Black Army – Nnamdi the Shadow, Darrius the Quick, Darren McFumble, Capt. Kirk Armtackle, and the much maligned JaMarcus the Arm.
Their silence is broken when the Supreme Commander summons his jester….
AL: Herrera!! Where is that oaf?
Nnamdi: He’s setting up a barricade in anticipation of Rich Gannon’s arrival. I think I saw Willie Brown and him reviewing tape from the wire taps earlier.
Russell: Wire taps?
Al: Of those on my Enemies List, you fool.
DHB: Listen, Mr. Davis, I appreciate the contract and all, but we gotta talk about these routes I’m running. I can’t get under these chicken throws of his.
Russell: Who got chicken?
Al: I didn’t pay you to ask questions Darrien, I paid you to make the Big Play!
Russell: Who got a Payday? Those are yummy.
Morrison: Ya, and Mr. Davis, I’m a bit concerned about playing these slot receivers.
McFadden: Where’s Freddie B, I need some Stickem.
Al: Silence, dolts! If you weren’t superior athletes committed to excellence, I’d have you all squashed like insects!
McFadden: What’s with the Darth Vader routine?
Russell: Who got squash?
The Cable Guy enters the dingy quarters and approaches the Leader’s thrown.
Cable: Mr. Davis – just did the media session. Told them exactly what you said to. Worked like a charm. I had those idiots eatin’ right out of my hands, so it looked like they’re convinced we’re turning the corner with this thing.
Al: Good. If they knew I needed another top 5 pick, they’d crucify me. Which reminds me, I gotta put the team bus on this Craig’s List thing to make some room for that kid at USC with the 40 time.
Nnamdi: Mr. Davis, don’t you think you may want to be looking at some linebackers instead? Captain Jerk here is getting pushed around out there with the rest of those safeties pretending to be backers.
Morrison: I don’t have to take this ridicule!
Russell: Who’s got BBQ?
Al: Deal with it! I expect all of you to maintain your pride and poise!
McFadden: Hey, where all the white girls at?
Nnamndi: Get a Trojan, for God’s sake, aren’t about ten of the children up front at daycare yours?
Russell: Who got chitlins?
DHB: All I’m saying is if he could just pump fake or something. You know, Like Roethlisberger?
Russell: OK, now I know I heard Cheeseburger.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:06 am
if we lose this damn game, the nation is gonna get little crazy to say the least!!! Living in the Bay Area and having to hear about how bad the raiders are 2 weeks in a row is gonna be tough.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:06 am
Good news Raider fans.
It’s an away game.
You get to watch it.
After that you get to see 6 more games.
Is not watching the Raiders play painful, or a relief?
October 1st, 2009 at 10:11 am
They were talking about Russel and how he has been throwing bad. Not stepping into his throws or moving around too much in the pocket when he doesn’t have to. All true things like you said, but so was Gannons
October 1st, 2009 at 10:11 am
its bad enough that Al Davis trys to ban Gannon to the game… Al Davis bans the fans from watching them. Luckily we have to road games so I dont have to deal with missing any games on tivo but we have houston then new york the next two weeks… its gonna get ugly if we dont win
October 1st, 2009 at 10:11 am
UP I agree, but I think Al will stay with JR the rest of the season no matter what because of all the money he has spent on him. Remember last year when he said the JR was going to be great for the Raiders for a long time even if Kiffin didn’t want him. Let me brake out the overhead projector. Sticking with JR will result in a maximum of two more wins this season.

there is a 4 point buck that lives near my house and is chewing the bark off my trees, feel free to come over and shoot it…

let that little fella grow. even though the meat would be tender, I don’t pride myself in shooting young male deer. Gotta go after the trophy buck 10-12 point. of course thats probably small in other places outside of SW Missouri …

Rockstar,
Nope, I don’t hunt. I killed a duck once and I felt real bad about it.
Just not for me I guess. But I support hunting 100%…actually, there is a 4 point buck that lives near my house and is chewing the bark off my trees, feel free to come over and shoot it…
October 1st, 2009 at 10:20 am
Boycott the rest of the season. Hit Al where it means the most. I keep tell all of you Al wants to win, but ONLY his way, with his guys, with his schemes. We had the best team in the NFL when Gruden was here, but Al didn’t like winning like that. Gruden & Gannon got all the credit and he hated it. He thinks they can win with inferior players and a 70’s philosophy. That what you get when you are delusional & senile. If you do go to the games bring signs that say “AL MUST GO! & TAKE JR WITH YOU!”

Andre Johnson was 3rd overall pick in the 2003 draft. We got Nnamdi 31st overall that year.
no complaints about that pick up, except I’m sure we could have found a better player than Tyler Brayton, also selected in Round 1.
Maybe Anquan Boldin, Osi Umenyiora or Lance Briggs for example …

Krappy gives you the “impression” he has alzheimers? The freakin “impression”?!?
If that’s the case, he also gives his adult diapers the “impression” he’s not going to unload a torrential crap storm into it’s soft absorbent layers.
He also gives his microwave the impression he won’t jam his nappy old head in and set the timer for 5 min on medium, while a frozen hot pocket sits on the countertop.
And finally, the old goat definitely gives the innocent children at his local Arby’s the impression he won’t be stumbling through the drive thru with his pants around his ankles.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:36 am
The reason why our drafts are so hit & miss is because of Al. He does a lot of his own scouting and he makes the final decision. How many 80 year old guys can make accurate readings on college players? Why do you think he drafted DHB so high? No other team had him in the top 25 & some even in the 2nd round. Mike Mitchell looks like he could be for real and worth the high pick, but eveyone said it was a reach.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:37 am
even though I hate Lane Kiffin, I gotta admit:
-he was right about Randy Hanson
-he was right about Rob Ryan
-he was right about JaMarcus Russell
-he was right about Darren McFadden (so far)
I miss guys like Brian Schneider & Tom Rathman he recruited to the staff as well. Even Tom Cable was a great hire at o-line coach.
imagine what this team would look like with Monte Kiffin instead of Rob the slob. Johnson or Peterson instead of Russell. Clady or Flacco instead of McFadden.
Lame Sniffen was a real tool, but he was right more often than not.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:40 am
Of course Kiffin and Cable should have never been hired, but let’s face it, not a lot of QUALITY coaches want to work for Old man Al and be expected to act like puppets. Cable and John Marshall are a disgrace when they blindly run Al’s outdated offense/defense.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:41 am
I’d take Danny Southwick over Jaslob Russel anyday.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:42 am
I’d like someone to find one article or expert opinion that said Clady or Flacco should be drafted in the top five of the 2008 draft.
The argument for who to choose was between Long, Long, Gholston, Dorsey, Ellis, and McFadden…or trade down.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:43 am
Kiffin ????
You’ve GOT to be kidding me. Another guy, along with Cable AND Ryan, who should have NEVER been hired. Kiffin had zero experience in the position and it showed.
Kiffin wasn’t right about ANYTHING!
October 1st, 2009 at 10:46 am
I think Flacco isn’t that great anyhow…I’d take Ryan over him 100 times out of 100.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:50 am
The guy making the wrong calls on the free agents, draft picks and coaching hires is none other than Al Davis.
And he is only 80 and his mom lived until she was 128 years old or something like that, lol…Al will probably outlive most of us because we are all going to die of Raider-stress induced heart disease in the next 10 years, while Al goes on pissing himself and ruining the Raiders for another 25 years.
October 1st, 2009 at 10:50 am
Man to bad we did not draft Charles Rodgers we would be on our way to the playoffs.
Wait a minute have I been smoking what he’s been smoking????

14 out of 22 players were complete busts. 63 percent
DHB won’t make it to that top 37 percent without a QB
October 1st, 2009 at 10:55 am
Is it me or this blog is now worst than THE VIEW?
October 1st, 2009 at 10:55 am
Dakota: Ryan was off the board. If we wanted a strong armed QB it would have been him. no brainer. and after watching Barry Sims in 2007 and seeing Ryan Clady as the best LT in the draft for the zbs I don’t think that would be a reach. (Henderson hadn’t played a down at that point as a rookie.) especially considering we had Fargas, Rhodes, Jordan, Bush & Echemandu all in the fold at RB.
Jhill: Kiffin was wrong about Hanson, Ryan & Russell? really?
October 1st, 2009 at 10:56 am
I am still pissed that Sean Payton turned us down on the advice of Parcells….and that Sarkisian guy is doing pretty well recently too….
Al, why is it that when most NFL teams offer a job, people jump at the opportunity to coach one of only 32 NFL teams, but when you offer the job (oh right, you didn’t offer them the job lol…whatever) anyhow, when you offer them the job, they say no thanks, I would rather remain as an assistant coach at USC or Dallas over being the HC of the Oakland Raiders.
I hope you understand that you are 100% responsible due to all your BS.
We end up with Cable, Kiffin, Shell, Bugel, White etc etc etc…and you wonder why we haven’t won a SB for 25 years?
October 1st, 2009 at 10:58 am

Al is just going to have himself illegally cloned, infact his son that is heir to the thrown is actually al himself. I tried to find info on Mark and can find nothing, which makes me beleive Al has already cloned himself and is keeping it on the DL until its legal…
October 1st, 2009 at 11:00 am
Sadly, my last words will probably be F-you Al Davis…

We should make a deal for Derek Anderson. He is in a worse situation there than he would be here. He has proven that he could win games. I think he could do what Drew Brees did in his switch to NO. There is nothing that says his “work ethic” has ever been questioned. He has been scuttled because the team invested so much money in Quinn. Sound Familiar?
Make the deal, put him in Silver and Black, and watch him make the throws that JaMissed-us Russel cannot.
Oh and start M. Bush already. McFumbles is killing me up the gut.

Headbutt,
Al did try to clone himself once, unfortunately he hired the Raiders medical staff to do it and this was the result:

No report yet on whether the clone is more capable than Mark Davis, so the jury is still out on who will get the team.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:05 am
Derek Anderson is starting this week for the browns, they will not trade him right now because if he does remotely better that quinn he will stay their starter

Kiffin ????
You’ve GOT to be kidding me. Another guy, along with Cable AND Ryan, who should have NEVER been hired. Kiffin had zero experience in the position and it showed.
Kiffin wasn’t right about ANYTHING!
=====================
You have a REALLY SHORT MEMORY.
Convenient.
Easy enough to prove you wrong.
Go back and read what THE PLAYERS HAD TO SAY about Kiffin..this AFTER he was gone. (every player says the politically correct thing regarding those that can still affect their tenure)
From Aso to Russell to Gallery to Lechler..etc..players stated they loved what he brought. What he had done.
Guess you were on vacation that month, lol..
And yeah, he was right about a LOT of things..
As Davis stated, he didn’t want Russell. Al overruled him..only a complete MORON would state “good hire”.
Kiffin also wanted to FIRE RYAN. Al overruled him. Then AL fired him.
That’s why the Raiders are stuck with Russell. Benching him means Al has to state KIFFIN WAS RIGHT.
Oh..BTW..as mentioned above..WHAT WAS ONE OF AL’S MENTIONS DURING THE INFAMOUS “Can you see the overhead”?
Was that “Lance didn’t want Russell. I did. And he’s going to do great things for the Raiders.”
Well, LOL, I don’t see that happening.
But I do see Al sinking the team, leaving in Russell because BENCHING HIM MAKES KIFFIN RIGHT.

Has anyone heard some rumor on ESPN that Garcia is coming back to start? I heard he doesn’t wanna play for the Raiders and Al really doesn’t like him. Still I would take him (or anyone else) over JR. I would love for Cleveland to trade us Anderson straight up for JR. Are they that stupid? BTW both of Al’s parents lived to 100+ & Mark Davis is a complete idiot that know less about football than your average potato.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:25 am
That might be good then if he knows nothing, mayb he has enough plain old business sense to hire a knowledgable GM. I know im reaching but I have to cling to something…
October 1st, 2009 at 11:27 am
engine: I agree for the most part. He’s willing to hire an experienced head coach.
Art Shell & Norv Turner fall into that category, as well as Kevin Gilbride who almost got the job this offseason. Jim Fassel, Dennis Green, Brian Billick, etc do too.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:28 am
AL DAVIS IS A CLASSIC EGO-MANIAC. WE ALL KNOW THAT !!!
HE WILL NEVER HIRE A GM
HE WILL NEVER HIRE A EXPERIENCED HEAD COACH
HE WILL NEVER CHANGE THE DEFENSIVE SCHEMES
HE WILL NEVER DRAFT SOMEONE WITH AN AVERAGE 40 TIME.
HE WILL NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO TAKE OVER DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS.
AL DAVIS IS THE CLASSIC DICTATOR TYPE. PARANOID LIKE SADDAM HUSSEIN AND FIDEL CASTRO AND HUGO CHAVEZ
HIS SON IS PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STEOP IN AND DO SOMETHING I BELIEVE AL’S SON IS OUR ONLY HOPE IF AL WAS MY DAD I WOULD OF ALREADY HAD A SIT DOWN WITH HIM, BUT AL MIGHT HAVE THREATENED TO CUT HIM OUT OF THE WILL IF HE PHUKED WIT HIM !!!!!!!! YOU NEVER KNOW.

Johnson’s putting up 150 yds. with 2 TD’s Sunday. No pass rush. Nnamdi can’t cover someone for 30 seconds. No corner in the league can.
BTW, I don’t know about you guys, but if the Raiders start stinking up the joint early in this one, and I’m sure they will, I’m going to find the Jets/Saints game on the internet.

JaPoatroast has no value you release him or keep him no-one will give anything for him IMHO
October 1st, 2009 at 11:38 am
The reason we don’t pass rush is because Al is obsessed with a MAN D. When you have people blitzing, depending on the offensive formation, you dont have enough bodies to cover the WR/RB which means playing zone during the blitz most of the time.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:40 am
Al is running out of money, and is trying to sell more of the team. The reason why nobody will come here is because nobody wants to be here when the franchise goes belly up, which is coming.

This is what Johnson said about the Raider’s defense.
Johnson: “Most of the time they’re in man-to-man, and they do a good job of mixing it up. They’ll make it look like man, and it’s really not man. They do a lot of man coverage, though, and it’s just something you have to go out and beat. Against a guy like Nnamdi, it’s a big challenge.”
I thought the Raider’s defense was suppose to be vanilla.

No, mental midget.
The reason no one wants to come to Oakland is because no one is in charge. Because the losing continues. Because Oakland is the laughingstock of the NFL. Because almost every player, to a man, who leaves Oakland makes it clear it was a bad experience.

We can all agree that Kiffin was wrong about Brady Quinn. He has been benched in favor of a qb that threw 3 int’s last week.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:49 am
Raider Dogg, some reports had Kiffin wanting Peterson, some had him wanting C. Johnson. Unless you have a quote by Kiffin, there’s no way of knowing he wanted Quinn.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:51 am
We all know that JR has sucked royally. But I cant help but wonder what he could do with some descent and reliable WRs.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:53 am
I hate to say it, but things seem to have started going down hill the moment Bruce Allen walked out the door.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:53 am
Richochet, nobody cares about Al’s meddling. Most of these good coaches around the league like Payton and Whisenhunt would let Al put literal puppet strings on them if he really had the money to pay them. Bottom line is, he doesn’t have the money. He would have hired those guys then scapegoated them in the first season, to have an excuse not to pay them. He would have pushed them into acting insubordinate so he could get documentation on them, like he did with Kiffin. It’s all about money, Richochet. That’s how it works in the real world. But you’re not living in the real world, so what’s the point?
And, you only quoted half of my Garcia quote. I said that Brien always accuses me of having a man crush on Garcia, so I’d might as well pretend I do. You just quoted the pun part of it. But ,your only goal is to win arguments, not to discuss anything or to learn or to teach. You’re just a person who needs to fight. And since you don’t have the courage to fight in the real world with people who push you around every single day, you fight on the internet. Sad thing is, you get pushed around on the internet, too. You’re just in denial of it.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:56 am
When AL says the only thing that matters is winning it’s the same as Hitler telling the Germans the same thing. However what they really mean is the only thing that matters is doing things my way. I believe Al is mentally just as looney as Hitler was. Too bad Al doesn’t have enuff guts to do what Hitler did when he saw the end was near. JUST DIE AL!!!
October 1st, 2009 at 12:00 pm
MR
I don’t have a quote for you and no time to do the research. I guess I just pulled that one outta my a$$, but I could have sworn that I heard, a few times, that Kiffin coveted Quinn over Russell because of his experience in a pro style/WC offense.
October 1st, 2009 at 12:01 pm
MR
Now that I think about it, I also remember hearing that Kiffin didn’t want to draft McFadden, instead preferring to trade the pick for more picks…
October 1st, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Vegas Raider of course I’m rooting for the Jets. AFC over NFC, all day every day. If you don’t like what Rex Ryan in the Jets are doing you’re not a football fan. That’s how I see it. Saints are good, too. But there’s just something so puzzy azz about the NFC. Cowboys were an exception when Parcells was there.
October 1st, 2009 at 12:03 pm
MR,
The Bears a few years ago were pretty smashmouth as well, but I agree, Rex Ryan is doing something special over there. That D is sick, and I only caught the last few plays of their game last week. I did see the last Titans offensive play, a 4th and 15 or something, and I swear they sent at least 7 guys in the pass-rush, and still had two guys in the area where the ball was thrown.
Good D’s like theirs seem like there is 12 or 13 guys on the field sometimes. And the Raiders look like they have 9 guys out there sometimes.

Vegas Raider, Al’s in the beginning stages of bankruptcy, is what he’s in. As far as dementia goes, he’s been demented for decades. But being demented doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t run a football team. If your genuine goal is to win, you’ll find a way too. His goal isn’t to win. It’s to save as much money as he can. He pays players big to give the impression he’s still loaded. But of course those contracts are laced with incentives and are back loaded. The reason Al won’t hire a real head coach or GM is because he can’t afford to. He’s trying to make it look like everything is ok. He’s a pathological liar is what he is.

October 1st, 2009 at 12:16 pm
In the Land of Oak, its subjects grow restless and weary of the Long Drought. It has been more than six years since the Silver & Black Army vanquished a formidable foe in the dead of winter.
Most members of this Nation blame the Supreme Commander of the Silver & Black. In his day, he was a ruthless, merciless leader and evaluator of men, challenging any and all to do battle and be humiliated on the field of play by superior warriors locked in mortal combat one on one with lesser men with slower 40 times.
The Supreme Commander turned a def ear to the Nation and they grew to resent him. Even after fleeing the Land of Oak to the City of Angels, the Dark One was accepted upon his return by the subjects of the Land of Oak with the promise of glory days restored.
However, years of bitter conflict with the Striped Ones – enforcers of The Code, the select group who control the League of Football, and deterioration of the relationship with the one called Chuckie have lead to his downfall and defeat after humiliating defeat at the hands of lesser armies with inferior warriors but more engaging captains and leaders.
Not even Nnamdi the Shadow, counting his bountiful collection of riches bestowed upon him by the Dark One, with all the talent in the world, was able to right the ship.
The Dark One turned to JaMarcus the Arm and Darrius the Quick to strike fear in the hearts of defensive coordinators the League over.
The inexperience of these warriors, coupled with the lack of vision and leadership of their captain, known as the Cable Guy, has led to more suffering amongst the Nation.
The Army of the Silver & Black is set to do battle with the Texans of Houston and is certain to be underestimated and counted as finished before the fight even begins.
The Army requires the support of the subjects, of course. But the Supreme Commander is unlikely to change his strategy, as he is old, decrepit, and set in his ways.

Vegas Raider, I’m not familiar with Donald Sterling and how he runs the Clippers. I do follow Al Davis, on the other hand. I think he tries to balance the image of being an owner who wants to win with the reality of being dead broke. I think the difference between him and Sterling is that Sterling doesn’t care about his image as an NBA pioneer or a winning GM, or anything like that, as Al Davis. Sterling’s just a penny pinching shiest. Al Davis is in the NFL hall of fame and is as responsible for the NFL being what it is today as anyone. He cares. He wants to win. But he’s broke. And doesn’t want to face the fact that his management of the team is the reason they’re broke, nor does he want people to know it.
October 1st, 2009 at 12:25 pm
MR,
Are you saying Al has turned into Donald Sterling? Just trying to save money and not caring about the product. If that was so, why won’t he sell-out for ad’s and all that stuff? Seems to me that he is just crazy and thinks it is everyone else’s fault but his.

MR
Do you have any quotes to REFUTE my claim about Kiffin wanting to draft Quinn or to back up your claim that he wanted AP or Chris Johnson for that matter? I looked to find any quote regarding who Kiffin wanted to draft that year and I couldn’t find anything about Chris Johnson or AP. I did find several articles quoting Al Davis at his now infamous Overhead Projector press conference, saying that Kiffin wanted to draft Quinn over Russell. Everything else is specualtion and all of it is about Kiffin NOT wanting Russell. Not one mention of C Johnson or AP.
The only person that I remember mentioning that they wanted Chris Johnson was BHP leading up to that draft.

JaMarcus the Arm was regarded by all as the most prized warrior in his class and stood out amongst the rest both because of his talents and imposing size.
Being branded a buffoon and failure, for luck, he carved in his head a brohawk.
The strategy installed for the Army of the Silver & Black mandated that he throw the Pigskin as far as the eye could see. But as it turns out, Darrius the Quick, enlisted to snare the Pigskin from the sky, is a complete and utter disappointment.
Another swift warrior – more skilled and adept to war – Chaz the Beast – is slowly healing from wounds inflicted during preparation for battle and the only hope for JaMarcus the Arm.
October 1st, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Richochet’s actually right about the fact that Davis is indeed broke because of his style of management and his meddlsome ways, but that’s about it. Richochet is a babbling, nonsensical moron otherwise, who just picks fights on the internet to compensate for his perpetual state of emasculation in his social and work life. Tell me I’m wrong, Rich. You know I’m right.
October 1st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Raider Dogg, no, I don’t have any quotes by Kiffin to refute your claim, yet, I didn’t state anything as fact. You did. Kiffin may have wanted Quinn. But he never said so. You gave your opinion under the premise that Kiffin undoubtedly wanted Quinn, when it’s not necessarily true. I, on the other hand, never stated as fact that Kiffin didn’t want Quinn. Just said that we don’t know.

October 1st, 2009 at 12:35 pm
MR,
The Raiders spend money. Being broke has nothing to do with it. Al has spent enough money over the last several years to be a winning team.
However, it is WHERE he has spent the money that is the problem.
1. Won’t pay a decent coaching staff
2. Will overpay for lower level FA talent
3. Drafts like a fool and wastes money on people like Russell, DHB (though I think he needs another year), Huff, Gallery, and others
4. Continues to spend money on stupid self-promoting promos and videos
5. Keeps idiots on his radio crew
6. Pays scouts that he never listens to come draft day
7. Pays a Defensive coordinator he never listens to come game day
8. Keeps “Smoke potting guy” Herrea (or whatever the hell his name is) on his staff
and the list goes on and on…

Redskins lost to the Lions. barely beat the Rams the week prior (didn’t even score a TD in that game). Portis & Haynesworth are both injured “questionable”. Their confidence can’t get any lower right now and the Bucs might get a spark by inserting a new QB.
