To blitz, or not to blitz
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, October 15th, 2009 at 3:37 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The contrast in the fortunes of the organizations over the past several years is matched by their approach to defense.
The Eagles have carried on the Jim Johnson legacy of the zone blitz under new coordinator Sean McDermott. The Raiders have long believe in bringing pressure with four linemen, playing fundamentally sound and going heavy on man-to-man defense.
How stark is the contrast?
According to Stats, LLC, by way of A.P.’s Josh Dubow, the Eagles blitz more than any team in the NFL. On passing plays, the Eagles have brought pressure 28 times in 56 snaps on first down, are 18-for-47 on second down, 23-for-43 on third down and 2-for-4 on fourth down. That’s 71 blitzes in 150 snaps on passing plays, or 47.3 percent.
The Raiders blitz less often than any team in the NFL. They’re 6-for-56 on first down passing plays, 6-for-54 on second down, 8-for-41 on third down and 0-for-2 on fourth down. That’s 20 blitzes in 153 pass plays, or 13.1 percent.
“They’ll have nine people on the line of scrimmage a lot, not just a token amount,and they’re coming, and they’ve got confidence in what they’re doing, and they’ll take some risks, and line up and try to match you, and say, hey, we can get to your quarterback before you can get the ball off,” passing game coordinator Ted Tollner said.
Raiders coach Tom Cable has preached that blitzing leaves open the possibility for big plays, something JaMarcus Russell, sacked six times by the infrequently blitzing New York Giants, is hoping for against the Eagles.
“Now I’m more prepared. I’ve been out there last year a full season, seen a lot of it and now it’s getting to be second nature,” Russell said. “Once you get a chance to watch a lot of film on a guy you get to know some of their habits and you can sometimes see it before it comes.
“Sometimes blitzing like that can really hurt you if an offense picks it up or even breaks one tackle, you have no one back there. Hopefully we can get some big plays like that this week.”
More news, notes and quotes from Thursday:
– Not so fast on having wide receiver Chaz Schilens back in some capacity against Philadelphia. Although Cable said Schilens has been “doing a little bit of everything” in practice, both drills and with the team, Schilens sounded skeptical that he could be active against the Eagles.
“I don’t know. I haven’t been able to do any team stuff so it’s kind of hard to say,” Schilens said. “I know I can do it but I don’t know if they’re going to put me out there when I haven’t done much, so we’ll see.”
Cable said the issue with Schilens foot is “he’s still sore the next day and we want to make sure we get as much out of there as we can.”
– Another indication the Raiders may not be of the mind that Schilens will be on the field, even in a limited role _ Cable said Javon Walker would be active for the first time since Week 2.
Against the Giants, the Raiders had only three wide receivers active _ starters Louis Murphy and Darrius Heyward-Bey and Todd Watkins.
Cable said the injury to linebacker Ricky Brown leaves open a spot among the 45 players active for the game.
– Cable said Wednesday he was unaware of exactly what Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce said regarding the Raiders game being “like a scrimmage,” but on Thursday copies of the quote were placed both in the locker room and in the hallway next to board which posts stats for special teams.
– Defensive end Greg Ellis has a pretty good idea of the national perception of the Raiders, although he believes it can change.
“The mood we’re going to be in or should be in, right now we’re kind of the laughingstock of the NFL. This isn’t anything new, ” Ellis said.
“Teams have been that way before. New England wasn’t always winning Super Bowls and Dallas wasn’t always the team they are. So, it goes in cycles. When you’re in that down cycle, you got to fight and claw to get back out of it and that’s what we’re doing here right now in Oakland.
“We got the talent to do it and that probably makes it more frustrating, that you look around and you have a talented bunch of guys, you’re just not winning the games. That’s frustrating.”
– Here’s how cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha assesed the fall of the Raiders over the past six years while talking by conference call with the Philadelphia media:
“It’s like the million dollar question. It’s tough to pinpoint. In previous years we’ve brought in the big time free agents and we did all that and we had the high draft picks so you would think there would be a turnaround, and we’d switch coaches and that sort of thing, and there would be no turnaround.
“This year we didn’t do that type of stuff. We kept the coach. We didn’t bring in all the big time free agents so we’re like let’s try something different. And that didn’t work. Its kind of like you screw in one light bulb to fix it and then another light bulb goes out and then you screw that one in to fix it and then another one. There’s always something that’s missing and it hurt us.”
– Left guard Robert Gallery is still not practicing with the team. Cable said he was doubtful, and could have made it “very, very, very doubtful.” An incision to put in a protective plate still has not sufficiently healed.
– Finally, a “source” from the Cable camp? Profootballtalk.com reported Wednesday night charges may not be filed against the Raiders coach at all and that Cable could be considering legal action against Randy Hanson.
The Napa County District attorney urged reporters to check back Monday.

“Cable said Wednesday he was unaware of exactly what Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce said regarding the Raiders game being “like a scrimmage,” but on Thursday copies of the quote were placed both in the locker room and in the hallway next to board which posts stats for special teams.”
Good.
“Now I’m more prepared. I’ve been out there last year a full season, seen a lot of it and now it’s getting to be second nature,” Russell said. “Once you get a chance to watch a lot of film on a guy you get to know some of their habits and you can sometimes see it before it comes.”
Ouch. Reminded of a phrase a about a pot and a kettle. Let’s go Russell. If you can’t get protection and the drops keep coming you HAVE to connect on the deep balls you missed on in Houston and New York, ’cause those shoulda been TDs.
“There’s always something that’s missing and it hurt us.”
Aso keeps it real. Although, what he should have said is “there’s always someone who should be missing and it hurts us that he’s not.”
October 15th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Nnamdi: “… so we’re like let’s try something different…” Nnam, dude, the strategy has always been the same: bring in the cheapest bunch of coaches money can buy and let them coach a bunch of track athletes that look good getting off the bus…Jamarcus: “Now I’m more prepared. I’ve been out there last year a full season, seen a lot of it and now it’s getting to be second nature”, this from a fella that just got sacked 6 times and fumbled 3 times…stupid is as stupid does….

Russell was drafted No. 1 overall in 2007 by the Raiders, the least stable and most reactionary organization in major American sports.
Oakland has the thinnest front office in the NFL and an owner, Al Davis, who doubles as the general manager and generally dictates the roster. Coaches are middle men, often taking abuse from above and sometimes being disrespected from below and being replaced frequently.
Russell was handed over to a first-year head coach, Lane Kiffin, who had been plucked straight from a college, USC, where he shared offensive coordinator duties.
Having turned to one retread (Kerry Collins) in 2004-05 and another (Aaron Brooks) in 2006, the ‘07 Raiders were left without a starting quarterback. There was Josh McCown, a career backup joining his third NFL organization, and Andrew Walter, the previous heir apparent who remained on the roster for no discernible reason.
With training camp under way and negotiations with Russell needlessly contentious, the Raiders summoned veteran Daunte Culpepper, a former Pro Bowler still recovering from major knee surgery.
Russell signed in Week 2, tying a kid who needed tutelage to a dysfunctional organization, with a rookie NFL coach and not one minute of training camp.
Kiffin, a former college quarterback, consistently said Russell needed to be brought along slowly and carefully. This made sense.
Russell made his first NFL start on Dec. 30, 2007, roughly 15 weeks after he signed. This was questionable.
Less than a year later, Kiffin, a former high school quarterback, was replaced by Tom Cable, an offensive line coach.
McCown and Culpepper, who were gone after the 2007 season, have been replaced in 2009 by Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye, neither of whom can challenge Russell.
The most experienced wideout likely to play, Chaz Schilens, has 15 career catches and has yet to play a down in 2009. The offensive coordinator role that in ‘08 belonged to 45-year-old Greg Knapp has been handed, in essence, to Ted Tollner, 69, and Paul Hackett, 62.
This is not to say someone whose NFL career is born to unfortunate circumstances is blameless. After all, the presence of Russell’s DNA can’t be denied. But if one is preparing to render a verdict, it’s only fair those circumstances be considered.
The last time Russell was before us, he was battered with sounds of disapproval, as if his failings are entirely on him. Out of fairness, it should be accepted that few, if any, of his crimes were committed by one young man acting alone.

Rumor has it Randy Hanson may have been supplying Meth to some of the Raiders. Cable found out about it and got pissed.
October 15th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
This isn’t anything new? To be the laughing stock of the NFL?-Russell is seriously aloof to what he is isn’t he? But hey he’s more prepared, he’s got a year under his belt. Getting blitzed, is second nature!!
This teams talk is cheap as hell, so is there scrimmage like mentality!! Good luck scoring a TD this week Raiders!!

If you are the Eagles you absolutely pour on the pressure and force the Raiders to win the game through the air. In other words, your team wins.

Is Cable saying Hanson broke his own jaw just to visit Napa Hospital and undermine Cables coaching career ?
lmao
CABLE you might as well give AL the middle finger and play the guys you want on the field!
BOZO!
October 15th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Oh nice! About 5 weeks too late and Walker probably wont see any action unless DHB gets a flat tire.
Cable sucks dyk!
“Another indication the Raiders may not be of the mind that Schilens will be on the field, even in a limited role _ Cable said Javon Walker would be active for the first time since Week 2″
Why bother playing a vet that can catch when you have the richest decoy in NFL hisory DHB, right AL/Tom ?

Cronyism:
Cronyism is partiality to long-standing friends, especially by appointing them to positions of authority, regardless of their qualifications. Hence, cronyism is contrary in practice and principle to meritocracy. Cronyism exists when the appointer and the beneficiary are in social contact; often, the appointer is inadequate to hold his or her own job or position of authority, and for this reason the appointer appoints individuals who will not try to weaken him or her, or express views contrary to those of the appointer.

Black Hole of Oakland
Al Davis was a trail blazer for the sport, a true original whose ideas can no longer win football games. Take a look at a list of Oakland/Lose Angeles’ first-round draft choices and it jumps right out. The early years are dotted with coups: Roman Gabriel, Gene Upshaw, Jack Tatum, Marcus Allen. Then things started to get erratic: Todd Marinovich springs to mind. And Sebastian Janikowski.
The Raiders drafted one final gem in Nnamdi Asomugha, turning him from a college safety into the best cornerback in the NFL. But since then, the news has not been good.
Davis and the Raiders have become the suckers in the room, the guys sure to be tantalized by gaudy numbers that mean little on the football field. They draft physical specimens, projects that need coaching up, and then they don’t invest in decent coaches.
Oakland had had six head coaches in the last nine seasons and, considering the product in silver and black now, who knows how long Tom Cable will last.
The Raiders are an expression of Davis, and their unprecedented level of futility is a side effect of the NFL’s unprecedented prosperity. In no other business could you be this bad, this blatantly dysfunctional, and still make money. Economists should probably be studying this.
It doesn’t feel great to dump on the Raiders, and particularly Al Davis. The guy wants so badly to win, and still thinks of himself as a winner in exile. There’s a lot to respect in that.
Someday, Davis will die. I’m almost sure of it. And when he passes on, his franchise will eventually be able to right itself.

What a dumfukk. No, what YOU said was we ran the exact same scheme every play and never blitzed. Both priest and I said we blitz on occasion. 20% of the time on 3rd down. The stats bear us out. As usual. Now, why don’t you go on and complain that the reason that nut job Rush Limbaugh got shut out of the league is because leftist NFL owners are trying to silence him and has nothing to do with the fact that he and his followers, like yourself, are complete nutjobs.

Actually you are a brain dead hick rack-ette. You’re statement that the opposing team gets 40% of the gate is from the 2000 CBA not the 2006 CBA. Jerry Jones, and Dan Snyder are trying to turn their teams into the New York Skankees and Boston Blo-sux of the NFL. Where teams years ago split everything, now Jones and Snyder have chipped away so that teams can keep their concessions, parking, brick and mortar merchandise sales, and luxury box sales. But that is fairly inconsequential considering the billions and billions in TV, advertising, merchandising thru the league which is my point. Rack-ette it would be a full time job for me to correct your idiotic statements. Why don’t you go show us a picture of Gruden flipping off the owners box in Oakland like you claim??

Simple.
Paying full value to watch a NFL team play, when it’s the Raiders, is like paying full value for a Mercedes, only to look out in the parking lot, and see a broken skateboard.
Only difference in the above scenario is that given enough time, you’ll get to your destination on the skateboard.

Guys,
I wish I was in the Bayarea still. You can get some cheap a$$ tix to this game. Why would I want to go?
Because I guarantee you they will at the very least give the Eagles the run for their money if not win this game. You dont thinnk for once that guys like Ellis and Seymour and Nnamdi will say enough is enough? I gurantee you that.
=======================================================
I took a swig of the last bit of Kool-Aid….and I am going to go ahead and agree with you AIG. Will they win? Highly doubt it. And I am still very p&ssed off for having wasted my money last weekend and saw the team quit. But I think this team will play hard for 4 QTRs this Sunday.
The fan anger and blistering media criticism has penetrated an organization that takes every precaution to shield its players from the fans and the media. Even the aloof Russell has to be hearing it now. Well, he at least said the right things…but talk is cheap.
I think even they are embarrassed that another player layed them out in such a simple, yet clear and concise way.
AIG, I am with you. I think the Raiders will show up this weekend.
I’ll watch again…because there is only 16 of these things a year. I really want to see these guys do well.
Cable is a rank idiot. Why is JLH on the outs? Play Chaz Schilens! He wants to play. Cable is a baffoon.
Well, let’s see what happens. I just hope they can compete.

Actually you are a brain dead hick rack-ette. You’re statement that the opposing team gets 40% of the gate is from the 2000 CBA not the 2006 CBA. Jerry Jones, and Dan Snyder are trying to turn their teams into the New York Skankees and Boston Blo-sux of the NFL. Where teams years ago split everything, now Jones and Snyder have chipped away so that teams can keep their concessions, parking, brick and mortar merchandise sales, and luxury box sales. But that is fairly inconsequential considering the billions and billions in TV, advertising, merchandising thru the league which is my point. Rack-ette it would be a full time job for me to correct your idiotic statements. Why don’t you go show us a picture of Gruden flipping off the owners box in Oakland like you claim??

October 15th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Getting people to boycott a game is a pipe dream. No matter how bad the product is, those of us that have paid good money for tickets are going to use them. I think a more realistic idea is to boycott the 1st quarter. Show up like normal, enjoy your tailgate party and wait until the end of the first quarter to enter the stadium. Just consider it an “extended tailgate party”. I think the site of an empty stadium for just the 1st quarter, while people continue to party in the parking lot would be awesome. This will get the attention of the media,the network, the league, and maybe even the senile owner of our favorite team. 1-2-3 tailgate.

The only person who should be embarrased by the blackouts is AL DAVIS! Raider fans should not be defined by blind allegience and acceptance of an inferior product. We expect more than we’re getting and these blackouts are a sign of our refusal to take any more of Al’s crap. We deserve better than this.

Guys,
I wish I was in the Bayarea still. You can get some cheap a$$ tix to this game. Why would I want to go?
Because I guarantee you they will at the very least give the Eagles the run for their money if not win this game. You dont thinnk for once that guys like Ellis and Seymour and Nnamdi will say enough is enough? I gurantee you that.
=======================================================
I took a swig of the last bit of Kool-Aid….and I am going to go ahead and agree with you AIG. Will they win? Highly doubt it. And I am still very p&ssed off for having wasted my money last weekend and saw the team quit. But I think this team will play hard for 4 QTRs this Sunday.
The fan anger and blistering media criticism has penetrated an organization that takes every precaution to shield its players from the fans and the media. Even the aloof Russell has to be hearing it now. Well, he at least said the right things…but talk is cheap.
I think even they are embarrassed that another player layed them out in such a simple, yet clear and concise way.
AIG, I am with you. I think the Raiders will show up this weekend.
I’ll watch again…because there is only 16 of these things a year. I really want to see these guys do well.
Cable is a rank idiot. Why is JLH on the outs? Play Chaz Schilens! He wants to play. Cable is a baffoon.
Well, let’s see what happens. I just hope they can compete.
=================
Here’s what’s sad.
While players don’t consciously say ‘Ok, I give up” or “I quit” the body language says they’re damn sick and tired, and feel defeated before they step on the field.
They know the best players aren’t on the field, for whatever reason (Al, Cable, Harry Potter..whoever) and they also know the qb is giving his all..isn’t doing what he should have been doing, and they KNOW that Al has given him a free pass. They read the comments. They hear what Russell says about he’s not worried, AT ALL, about being yanked.
Again, not saying they’re deliverately quitting, but you not only can see they’res no fire, but now other players on other teams are saying the same thing..players are dejected, unmotivated, and just don’t care.
October 15th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Things we need to do so we can win:
1- take play calling away from Cable.
2- use more 2 TE formations.
3- put Walker & JLH on the field.
4- run with Bush, and give home atleast 20 carries before another RB AKA as Fargas gets any carries.
5- use DHB as a WR, and like a decoy! 20 throws in 5 games!!
6- run well the first Drive, use a lot of time, and get a TD.
7- Defense needs to step up and help the young offense. Our D has Nnamdi, Sey, Kirk, and Ellis are all vets. They should help more!
8- FU Cable!!!

October 15th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
– Here’s how cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha assesed the fall of the Raiders over the past six years while talking by conference call with the Philadelphia media:
“It’s like the million dollar question. It’s tough to pinpoint. In previous years we’ve brought in the big time free agents and we did all that and we had the high draft picks so you would think there would be a turnaround, and we’d switch coaches and that sort of thing, and there would be no turnaround.
“This year we didn’t do that type of stuff. We kept the coach. We didn’t bring in all the big time free agents so we’re like let’s try something different. And that didn’t work. Its kind of like you screw in one light bulb to fix it and then another light bulb goes out and then you screw that one in to fix it and then another one. There’s always something that’s missing and it hurt us.”
————————————————————————————————————–
Nnamdi is starting to piss me off. He said everything here but “it’s Al’s fault.” Nnamdi is looking more company than Cable.
October 15th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
This game reminds me of 2006 when the Steelers came to town. The defense played real well and got a lead on the world champs. Similar spot here, Pjilly might be looking past this game. McNabb might have a bad day, and give us hope.

The Oakland Raiders have now perfected a system for placing a steady and predictable product on the field every week.
The Sunday (weekend) game is an embarassing blowout.
On Monday the HC says it is disappointing but there are some “positives” and “improvement.”
On Tuesday announce the fool-proof strategy: just “do what we have been doing only do it better” and keep the same old mimeograph of the playbook.
On Wednesday, make some personell change to “fix everything.”
On Thursday and Friday, proclaim that practices have been “good” and “crisp” and whatever.
On Sunday, start the cycle all over again.
Doing the same thing that does not work over and over and expecting a differnt result is not the mark of genius.

“Cable will stick with the same offensive line of right tackle Erik Pears, right guard Cooper Carlisle, center Samson Satele, left guard Chris Morris and left tackle Mario Henderson.”
Still no Khalif Barnes, and no, Cable won’t give an answer as to why.
So what does Cable want to see from the line after two terrible showings?
“Well, obviously, you got to protect the quarterback. You got to try to establish the run game. But the most important thing is handling all those different types of pressures. Mentioned it earlier, zone pressure, it’s a combination of zone and man pressure, so being able to dissect that and handle both types.”

That place is seldom even 2/3 filled. Although, you probably wouldn’t notice this on TV as you’re one of the “Faithful” piles of crap that are actually there in person.
You’re one of those who has their head up Alex Smith’s ass. Your Whiners may be on the right track, but, they’re about to get another beat-down in Houston.
And Richocrap, about Al Davis not caring about the fans. You say the other owners do care about the fans? Because they have fan-appreciation days? Are you really more stupid than I thought? You are a complete idiot Richonuts.
Every SINGLE thing that every SINGLE NFL team does is geared towards the owner’s pocketbook. You’re too stupid to realize it though. You think the “Snake” really has it in for us. You dumb little boy.
You really think John York gives a rat’s ass about YOU, the Whiners’ most “faithful” follower?
I hate to tell you man – you’re just a part of the money-making equation. Who do you think helps pay for your big BUST Alex Smith’s monumental salary?

Chaz is not playing. But he will most certainly see the field before Walker. It’s gonna take all these guys (DHB, Murphy, JLH, Watkins, Schilens, Holland, Miller, and three recent signees) to get knocked out the game in order for Walker to get on the field.

*********************************************
Just a hunch (probably a bad one) but DHB may go from doing absolutely nothing to scoring a TD this weekend.
With Philly blitzing as much as they do, the Raiders need to use that speed to their advantage and J-Russ needs to throw that ball up for at least the possibility of a pass-interference call. They’ve had pretty good success with that when they’ve tried.
I don’t know why they don’t do it more often.

My philosophy on this is as follows:
Throughout most Raider history, Al Davis has believed in building veteran football teams.
But, what we’re seeing now is that he’s basically saying “I’m gonna sink or swim with these young guys”.
It’s a very UN-Al davis thing to do, but, I really believe that Al knew this wasn’t quite a playoff team yet, so he’s basically saying “Screw it. I’m gonna throw all the young guys in there from start to finish and let this year be the year they develop, and we’ll be that much better for it next year”.
That may or may not be the way to go. It sure is hard to watch as a fan of 30 years. But, if these kids DO develop into good football players, then it will be worth being the laughingstock of the league this year.
My biggest problem with this line of thinking, however, is that it puts your young fanchise QB in a really tough position in which to succeed.

But if he can sink or swim with the young guys and he’s never done it before, he should also sink or swim with changing his defensive philosophy as well. Cover 2 and blitz more. He wants man to man, line up and win the one on one battles. Yet we are getting gashed every play on defense.

“My biggest problem with this line of thinking, however, is that it puts your young fanchise QB in a really tough position in which to succeed.”
Amen.
Al has gone with veteran coaches and young so-called hot shots. OLine guys and Xs and Os guys.
The team is pretty hard to watch right now, but Al is playing his young guys and they are all getting thrown to the wolves.
He’s added Seymour and Ellis (who is the best pickup for us in a long time, IMO), Henderson is emerging as a solid LT, Gallery plays well at LG. He doesn’t seem to pay much attention to the offensive line play recently but used to have absolute beasts, so he kept his OLine/interim coach.
Losing record for Cable, but he always had upper tier offenses wherever he coached.
Paul Hackett has received a lot of credit from some very good QBs.
Marshall’s been around for a while (not really sold on him. He runs Al’s defense and is supposed to teach discipline and control and it hasn’t showed since 3rd quarter MNF wk 1.). Tollner as well.
Point is, it would seem to me he’s trying to coach up a lot of youngsters and sprinkle in a few vets to pass along their knowledge and contribute for a few more years.
They’re accused of loafing, collecting paychecks and not coming to play.
But every week they’re allowed that they’re a very talented team.
They need a few seasons under their bely. They need consistency. And they need direction.
I have come to the conclusion it must come in the form of a coach. This team needs a spark. Not neccecarily this 1-4 team, but this 25-76 team. It took Gruden a few years, but look at the players he had and the scheme he ran.
Al must have a coach that he can’t agree with philisophocally 60% of the time. I guy who the players will rally around. Not “bumaye” but study. Discipline.
The problem is AL Davis. He can’t let someone else run the ship. The Raiders are Al Davis and Al Davis is the Raiders. Directly or indirectly, he’s the reason we’re all here.
There’s a player or a moment or a game or a coach that brought us all here. For me it was Bo Jackson. Al gave Bo a chance and took him after everyone else passed. Now Bo will always be the guy that’s like what if? What if he stayed healthy?
To me, that’s this team. What if? C’mon, Al.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
This is the first time I can recall that I didn’t feel at least somewhat optimistic about The Raiders chances before a game. Even is it was delusional, I always have thought that is they could do this and manage that and play inspired there was a decent chance they could win. This week I don’t feel that. Since I was wrong on most all of those other games, I hope I am wrong this time as well.

“Does it even matter anymore? All hope is lost….”
My hope is that the team overcomes and grows and gets smarter and more experienced. It won’t be pretty, but I expect progress.
The idea was to build off last season’s, but since we F’ed that up, you have to play the Eagles 0-0, not 1-4.
Every winning team finds a certain point where they turn the corner. Not even that season always, but when the core of the team comes together and they all buy in. Offense, defense, and special teams all contribute and pick up each other’s slack if need be.
I say we’re pretty far away from that right now. But, dammit WE’RE DUE.
It will take the emergence of real leadership all across the organization. From the owner down, but especially the QB. JaMarcus better listen to McNabb. I doubt it will be anything more than a brief chat, but JR better not shrug it off. Take whatever McNabb says to heart.
He’s booed every week (starting draft day) and does nothing but win.

Philly is averaging 369 yards per game and 31 points per game.
Philly’s defense is 3rd in the league in yards allowed at 272 yards a game.
Another blowout loss and another round of excuses coming.
If I am wrong, I will gladly admit it. However, I don’t think I am.

What I mean is this: A succesful winning season, and ultimately winning team, had the seeds sewn in prior seasons typically.
Great teams went through rough times. The guys grew up, they got the right coaches, the right peices added or subtracted.
The 1999 Raiders come to mind. 8-8 team that had a big win at the end to galvanize the whole franchise.
Need the right peices though, which I believe not even Al Davis can ignore in the coming offseason.

October 15th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
actually this is the best i have felt about our team since the end of the first game. Why?
Because last week was rockbottom. Moreover, they got schytted on by Pierce. They have no choice but to come out swinging. Sometimes a coach can only say it so many times but getting schytted on national radio will not rest well with guys like Ellis and Seymour.

OakDork: GOD, rackette is stupid!! And I mean bottom of the barrel stupid!! The other team doesn’t get half of ticket sales you brain dead hick!! That’s baseball!!! In the NFL All money, all, every dime, goes into a pot, and is divided equally!! It is what you call revenue sharing!! God bless, you would think this brain dead idiot would be right just once, simply out of sheer luck!!!
=======================
I’m sorry Oakdork, I missed your reply.
===========================================
Actually you are a brain dead hick rack-ette. You’re statement that the opposing team gets 40% of the gate is from the 2000 CBA not the 2006 CBA. Jerry Jones, and Dan Snyder are trying to turn their teams into the New York Skankees and Boston Blo-sux of the NFL. Where teams years ago split everything, now Jones and Snyder have chipped away so that teams can keep their concessions, parking, brick and mortar merchandise sales, and luxury box sales. But that is fairly inconsequential considering the billions and billions in TV, advertising, merchandising thru the league which is my point. Rack-ette it would be a full time job for me to correct your idiotic statements. Why don’t you go show us a picture of Gruden flipping off the owners box in Oakland like you claim??
———–
=======================
ahhhh…the DIVERSION reply.
No, asswipe..YOU STATED THAT ANYONE WHO DIDN’T KNOW HOW IT WORKS IS BOTTOM OF THE BARREL STUPID, and a BRAIN DEAD IDIOT.
Let me quote YOU:

Got some really great passionate testimonials this past week. I will be collecting these for a while and will be working on other ways in the coming future.
Attention all Raider fans.
Something needs to be done. Al Davis needs to feel what the fans are going through. the only way to do this is through his pocket book. Investors are already complaining. I’m going to send a letter and petition to Al Davis while copying in a few members of the Media. I’m hoping to get out what will be a request for a boycott. I’m a season ticket hold, life long Raider fan and My son’s middle name is Raider. I will always remain a Raider fan but this fiasco call the Raiders is more about Al Davis’s ego and commitment to proving himself right. I believe he needs to return a “commitment to excellence.” If anyone is interested in joining my petition please email me at salves@uniworld.com. More details to follow.

The Fighting Al’s
The Raiders probably have been two-touchdown home underdogs to an East Coast team at some point in the recent past–2006?–and if I get inspired, I’ll try to look that up.
I just can’t remember when that would’ve been. That’s a staggering number to give to a team traveling three time zones, I don’t care if the Napa Police drive up the paddy wagon and arrest multiple Raiders coaches during the third quarter, 14 points is crazy.
Yet this weekend, blacked-out for your local enjoyment–the Raiders are 14-point ‘dogs to the Philadelphia Eagles, who are not exactly a super team. (49ers are on a bye. NO LOCAL TEAMS ON SUNDAY TV. Strange.)
The point-spread makes sense, I must admit, and perhaps should be 17 when you really analyze it.
The Raiders have the worst offense in the NFL, have one of the worst defenses, and have been getting worse each week. They’re heading towards full-tilt quit mode, and nobody does that better than your Fightin’ Als.

I love “Elway’s Teeth’s” idea about boycotting the first quarter. Only problem is we won’t have another sell out this year and it will be blacked out anyway. It will make some news though and is worth it. I’m not renewing my season tickets and I’m selling mine off this year. I’m not paying for parking, or buying as little as a hot dog. I will not waste another dime. More people need to do this as this is our only voice. It is not a pipedream… A pipedream is to continue to support an organization this bad and expect results to change. Al Davis said himself

There won’t be another sellout this year. That’s a fan statement.
I don’t think the fans are going to buy another Davis New Coach diversion next year either.
San Diego may have been the last Sellout under Davis’ regime.

===================================================
Exactly. It’s not a pipedream. It can be done. And while I still think Davis feels he is doing nothing wrong, it would cause him to at least reflect and try to shake things up. And even though there is revenue sharing, it would certainly open some eyes. Fellow owners would also be upset about the lost revenue.
I started doing this already, before the year began. Sorry to say, but I sort of saw this train wreck coming and made sure not to sign up before seeing the product. I’ve been with this team since I started watching football but this has to stop. This is beyond Detroit Lions bad, and that’s just sad.

“They are going to try to think of every excuse they can not to prosecute [Cable] because they don’t want to lose the business,” McGuinn said. “The city of Napa police department and the [county] DA’s office are dragging their feet as much as they can. If this thing would go away, they would love it. There’s no question about it.”

Good Morning Nation!!!!
So wait…is there really going to be a protest on Vick this Sunday in Oak Town?
Haha!!! Geez…
October 16th, 2009 at 6:08 am
Good morning Nation The Only nation,
This seems like a good plan, but somehow we have to get a copy of this to big Al.
Okay, so I got Al Davis on the line and he is asking me in his strained Brooklyn accent how to salvage his Oakland Raiders.
This, of course, is complete blimey and in reality Al Davis gives a rat’s ass about my or any of the disheartened Raiders Nation’s opinion of his team or how to turn the franchise around.
But, doggone it, I’m standing by Ol’ Crusty Al, and I got a few suggestions to turn around the 2009 season.
First change I would suggest is to trade for Buffalo Bills return specialist Roscoe Parrish. An electrifying return player, this impact player can be had for a third and sixth round draft pick.
With the addition of Parrish, the Raiders could start Javon Walker and instantly upgrade a young and ineffective wide-receiver group.
By having these two wideouts, the return of Chaz Schilens and the explosiveness of Louis Murphy, the Raiders could run a spread offense taking the pressure off a beleaguered OL and get JaMarcus Russell into a rhythm with short passes.
Having the talent and this spread offense in place, Tom Cable would step aside and allow Paul Hackett to call the offensive plays.
Hackett, an outstanding QB position coach, has the experience to call plays at the NFL level. Cable then could refocus on what he does best and repair the OL.
Need proof, Al? Take a look at how the spread has made Kyle Orton look like Joe Montana.
Now that I would have Al’s ears, and not his oatmeal stained sweater, I would make roster changes to the OL. Start Khalif Barnes at RT and Paul McQuistan at LG. Bench Samson Satele and move Chris Morris back to center. This would be the 2009 starting lineup until Robert Gallery gets healthy and replaces McQuistan.
To further help the OL, run “Wildcat” formations featuring Louis Murphy, Johnnie Lee Higgins, Rosco Parrish, Michael Bush (who also can throw the ball) and Justin Fargas.
Once Hackett gameplans 8-10 “Wildcat” plays, defenses will back out of their eight and nine man fronts and give the OL an opportunity to get out and block at the different levels.
After the “Wildcat” and spread offense softens defenses, Hackett can run “Power I” formations featuring the underused Brandon Myers at FB. If possible, the Raiders should give up a fifth round pick for Green Bay Packers rookie FB, Quinn Johnson. Either FB could clear the way for superstar-in-the-making, Michael Bush.
So now the offense is scoring like a horny teenager on prom night, Al, here’s how to get the defense playing at a NFL level.
I know the word is taboo in Alameda, but blitzing in the NFL is a necessary element in executing a successful defense.
Start by bringing in someone who has a sense of how to scheme a 21st Century NFL defense and find a coach, such as Romeo Crennel, and have him work as an adviser to John Marshall.
By becoming contemporary in design, the new and improved aggressive Raiders’ defense can start maximizing the team speed and two shutdown corners to their advantage.
The defense has talent; it lacks scheme.
A change here will show immediate improvement to this unit. This may be a huge turd sandwich to swallow for Mr. Davis, but the biggest change that would yield immediate results is to make one call and bring Bruce Allen back as the Raiders GM.
The man knows how to put football teams and coaches together if given the opportunity. Allen could do this for the Raiders within two games.
So now the Raiders have upgraded play on the field and have secured stability in the front office, one last repair must be made for the Raiders to salvage the season.
Fire village idiot John Herrera.
Yes Al, the removal of this plantar wart will instantly remove a black cloud that hovers over Alameda, but with his exit also comes an apology from you, Mr. Davis.
You must issue an apology to Rich Gannon for the improper treatment of a player that gave his all for your organization.
Once you’ve done this, you have to issue an apology to the Raiders Nation for taking fan loyalty for granted.
It’s just karma, baby.
Are you listening?

October 16th, 2009 at 6:21 am
I guess fans in Oaktown have nothing better to do then to mess with a man that has served his punishment. Dog fighting come on we all have bigger skeletons in our closets, we just never been caught for it. We allow drunk drivers to kill pedestrians with a mere slap on the wrist, but dog fighting we send a man to jail he serves his time, sounds remorseful and we still want to mess with him. How do we expect people to change if we keep them down any chance we get.
It seems we care more about dogs then we do people
I love dogs i have an all black Great Dane Maximus is his name but you know what if he got lost i wouldnt go paying hundreds of dollars to find him. People say my pet is like my child part of the family, really how many times have you lost you’re child, the point is they are pets not human, they are companions not children. Vick has served out his punishment and is now a speaker to the youths of america helping them lead a humble life. Give him the opportunity to overcome his mistakes.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:27 am

October 16th, 2009 at 6:33 am

October 16th, 2009 at 6:42 am
I got an idea 4eva,
why dont you protest in downtown oakland for all the murders that town has had this year, or is it only dogs you care about.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:45 am
I hate when people use that argument Dogs are amazing creatures they are never born bad they are raised that way us people can’t say the same thing. I love my dogs like family and so do many thats why so many are sickened by Vick read some of the things he was involved in guy is a psycho and is a ticking time bomb , What rational person tortures animals its just a matter of time till he moves onto to people.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:45 am
4eva why show remorse when you’re not guilty of wrong doing. Remorse is like an apology when you do wrong you apologize and are sincere about it. Remorse is when you realize that what you did was really wrong and you feel bad. He doesnt have to help out or be a speaker, he could have served his time and that was it. Instead he is taking initiative to speak about his wrong doings.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:48 am
The point is thats you’re opinion, you dont know Vick and you dont know what he feels. It’s easy to judge when all you have is a guess. I’m 32 beleive me i made a lot of mistakes in my life, but since i was was 25 i stopped drinking, i dont smoke, i dont do drugs, and it was me who changed, i didnt change cause i felt i needed to to be accepted. I changed cause i felt remorse for my actions, and when you lose what you have, you get to the point when you have nothing more to lose, so you change you’re life.
October 16th, 2009 at 6:49 am
Guys, this is a good listen about the Raiders from an insider… Got it from RaiderBeat.com
Former Raiders safety and special teams standout Jarrod Cooper is in the process of trying to make a name for himself as an NFL insider. Here is his latest effort at going behind the scenes to paint a picture of what it’s like being on the inside of a team run by managing general partner Al Davis. This comes courtesy of KNBR-680 (AM) radio in San Francisco:

October 16th, 2009 at 6:50 am
Only b/c he wanted his job back in da NFL,imo.Do you honestly think if he was rejected by the NFL he would be doing these awareness campaigns???
October 16th, 2009 at 6:51 am
Not to go against you, 4eva, because that is what I love about the AM crew is being able to cordially disagree, but I think that he probably would have. You make a strong point about what if he was rejected. One may never know…but I understand that there will be a group protesting Vick in Oakland on Sunday. To me, that is like, come on now…but maybe the Raiders should use this as inspiration to get after the Eagles!!!
October 16th, 2009 at 6:54 am
well you are right on that…It’s only my opinion…
IMO also vick had around 7 million motives 2 change or how-ever much he signed for…anyway…
I am happy 4U that you are enjoying your life more than B4 =)
October 16th, 2009 at 6:58 am
To many people are quick to judge, instead of looking in the mirror. I’m sure you’re life is not perfect, it may be a good life no doubt but not perfect. Why not try to focus on making it perfect instead of focusing on someone elses missfortunes. What if he were killing rats would you care as much.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:00 am
Vick paid his debt to society and like all other criminals deserves a second chance….Vick lost millions and ruined his career over his stupidity…a bunch of bored hypocrites looking for attention won’t affect Vick or the game in any way….How many of you so called “protesters” eat meat….Hogs and cattle are animals too and have the same chance of survival as the dogs Vick and his cohorts killed….Morally Inferior Hypocrites

I agree comparing people to dogs is also like comparing apples to oranges.
Thank you for the conversation.
but would you trade 2 years of you’re life for 7 million, not to mention all the millions he lost for doing what he did.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:06 am
How to describe a “perfect” life???
A perfect life prolly has as many diffrent definitions as there are diffrent people.One size wont fit all 4this 1.
And if nobody focused on others mis-fortunes…vick would STILL be killing dogs,imo
October 16th, 2009 at 7:07 am
It’s not about focusing on the mis-fortune others. I like to think people are there to help eachother out. you know a pick me up cause we are not all pefect. Put us all together with all our knowledge and i think that is what perfection is.

even though he’s in the national spotlight, Vick is only human like you and me. he’s paid the price for his actions and I give props to the Eagles for giving him a chance to get his career back and pay back his bankruptcy debt

It makes no diffrence if PETA or any other group protests at the game.Like R8drlfe21 said we should be protesting people being killed or how we were sold down the river…work all your life and have your house taken by the whims of Wall Street.The damage has been done by vick and countless others…Awareness is GREAT but not 4 the victims

October 16th, 2009 at 7:29 am
I compared Russell’s intellect to a crayfish yesterday…totally forgetting that KoolKell’s ancestors only crawled out of the pond a mere 100 years ago. Crustaceans got rights. I’m a racist shame.
PETA doesn’t even know Vick is in town. They’re protesting walrus abuse.

LOL! how come people get away with clubbing baby seals, but we can’t even boo a full grown walrus?
by the way BSJ, hate to reopen old wounds but I remember your strong dislike for RT Langston Walker. Now that he’s been signed, do you still think Green & Pears are better options at RT ??? that right side of the line has been pathetic thus far imo. can’t imagine it getting any worse!

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Al resigned LWalker to let Cable know his ZBS days are coming to an end. And Al is convinced the team is just ONE BLOCKED FIELD GOAL away from the playoffs.
I will judge Langostino Walker by his play on the field, but I bet Green plays when healthy. Cable believes no unproductive starter should lose his job to injury.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:31 am
hes a receiver too and i think a db but as a wr he has to be better than dhb
October 16th, 2009 at 7:32 am
its funny the only highlight he has is a blocked field goal
October 16th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Ouch, that Cooper interview just confirms what most of us understand…no leadership, no consequences, Al meddling…
…but I am sure the ball suckers will just claim that Cooper is just another bitter ex-Raider…disgruntled player #278 on their list…

Russell is going to be another Andrew Walter.
raider fans will make excuses for him because of Al Davis, the coaches, the o-line, his receivers, etc.
then he’ll sign on with another team and won’t even stick as a backup. Pats kept undrafted rookie Brian Hoyer to backup Tom Brady instead.
and they dumped DT Terdell Sands in favor of 40 year old LB Junior Seau, who only had 22 tackles last year
ouch. Nnamdi, Chris Johnson, Gallery, Henderson, Miller, etc have excelled on this bad Raiders team. other players should follow suit
October 16th, 2009 at 7:40 am
Guess they had a run on pads in Boston last week. Per Yahoo: Oakland owner Al Davis also refused to discuss the Cable case while at the NFL owners meeting this week in Boston.
“No, no,” Davis said, politely.

Damn what’s up Narion!!! Morning crew, we finally get work that Walker will be active this game. I hope to God that walker has a really good game to show AGAIN how much of an ass cable is and that his stubborn ways will only get him fired. We will hopefully get to see if he is back to form like he say he is. Cabke say we want to develop the youngsters, so why not get rid of Walker!?!? Where the hell is Davis on this matter if HE PERSONALLY talked Walker into staying why isn’t he playing? Ugg this is seriously stupid Cable and Al politics politics polishtics will get the results we’ve been seeing with this team the past seasons

This week will be worse than last.
Philly actually matches up better against us than NY.
They to the foot off the pedal big time.
Maklin and Jackson will destroy us and Philly loves screen plays.
I haven’t seen the Raiders stop a screen play in four years.
Look for another 40 point spread, except with more players faking injuries in the forth quarter to get their names off the highlight packages shown all week.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:52 am
yeah…btw lets see how ‘o Dakota is doing in FF
October 16th, 2009 at 8:52 am

October 16th, 2009 at 8:56 am
I am certainly starting L. McCoy v. the Raiders D this weekend. I doubt Philly will have to risk Westbrook against us very long….
October 16th, 2009 at 8:59 am
Yeah Larz its not looking good at all, Philly is way more aggressive on offense than NY. We aren’t disciplined enough to stop screen plays , shoot they can beat us on that one play alone!!!
October 16th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Spread: Oakland +14.5…hmmm. Should I go cherry picking? I don’t think we’ll score mre than 10 points in the game, and Philly should be at 28 by halftime…what to do, what to do…

Cleveland won’t get by Boston besides their are no Cavs fans just Lebron fans and when he ditches Cleveland for NY all u Cavs bandwagon fans will be Knicks or Nets fans. Oakland Lakers why mess with Perfection LA LAKERS just sounds perfect. Wanna put some scratch down that Eagles won’t cover but with Jruss u just don’t know if boo birds start he might just think I’ll really give u guys something to boo.
GO RAIDERS, GO LAKERS GO ANYBODY BUT DODGERS
October 16th, 2009 at 9:22 am
You are right, Philly does not match up great with us.
They will probaly have to call off the dogs before halftime (if Vick hasnt decapitated all of them).
Raiders 28 slaughtered beagles 27
Breakout game!!
October 16th, 2009 at 9:23 am
Haha i highly doubt we win this game unless Philly comes in Oakland overlooking the Raiders completely. Too bad the Edgewater aint open anymore. Maybe then the Philly players would have a big letdown. Cant see it now.
You really think Russell gonna do shyt? Schilens aint playing and we still run that old ass lame defense. I just dont see how they can win unless the o-line and d-line took some insta-roids………we’re fked
October 16th, 2009 at 9:26 am

Why isn’t Huff starting at FS?
Where are Walker & JLH?
Why is Cable still calling plays?
Do we have someone on this staff that can lead our team so we can fire Cable, or do we need to take the play calling away from the Moron, and fire him at the end of the season?
FU Cable & Legalize it!!

If Rush bought the Raiders, he would hire hire a kick butt GM and stay out of operations. He would want a winner and he has plenty of money to ensure that.
It might be just like Al to give the NFL the middle finger again by selling it to Rush.
Dak I am not talking about the plight of the Raiders. I am talking about the NFL giving YOU the middle finger
October 16th, 2009 at 9:46 am
What the Rush deal? Lol, I can see why they don’t want that putz in their little club. I’d be willing to bet that the majority of sports teams are owned by rich conservatives, so I am not worried about the NFL excluding Rush.

I can’t wait to watch the next head coach press conference…I’ll bet Al blames Cable for drafting DHB.
He’ll say something like, “Well, I wanted the tackle out of the University of Virginia, but Cable was insistant that all Jamarcus needed was a wide receiver to stretch the field. He said he had the offensive line taken care of so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. It was my mistake to trust him.”
“Now, I would like to introduce the next head coach of the great Oakland Raiders….Sonjaya Mal!”
Hererra…”Sir, his name is Sanjay Lal. Sonjaya was your favorite contestant on American Idol”
AL: “Oh yeah, hey, why didn’t we interview him?”

Oakland Embarrassment Drags On: So after last weekend’s big reveal from Oakland assistant Randy Hanson, everyone expected Raiders coach Tom Cable to be charged with … something. But that might not be the case. Especially if Hanson were using drugs, as Bill Romanowski alluded to here. Isn’t that cute. Raiders’ nation coming together to keep the good name (hehe) of the franchise. The latest from Hanson: “I will take a lie detector test and a drug test, and I will pay for it – and I’ll pay for Tom Cable to take those tests as well.” [Yahoo Sports]

Pit Vick’s remorse is called an NFL contract. He would have licked a dog’s butt to show how remorseful he was to get that money and on the field again. People who kill and torture defenseless animals, kids, etc. are disconnected emotionally and need psychicatric treatment, not giving speeches full of BS to kids.

Vick paid his debt to society and like all other criminals deserves a second chance….Vick lost millions and ruined his career over his stupidity…a bunch of bored hypocrites looking for attention won’t affect Vick or the game in any way….How many of you so called “protesters” eat meat….Hogs and cattle are animals too and have the same chance of survival as the dogs Vick and his cohorts killed….Morally Inferior Hypocrites
======================
You’re the reason stupid people shouldn’t have computer access.
Seriously..how do you get out of bed each day without hurting yourself?
Yeah, Old Man, butchered animals are “animals too” lol (didn’t you mean “hogs and cattle feel pain, too”? Thanks for informing everyone that animals are animals, dumbass)..except, DUMBASS, that hogs and cattle are HUMANELY BUTCHERED.
Vick TORTURED the dogs..yeah, you stupid fool..TORTURE. Horrible agonizing slow death..some beaten to death. Some dogs were hanged..ALL BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T RIP ANOTHER DOG TO SHREDS LIKE VICK WANTED HIM TO..other dogs were drowned. ALL OF THESE DEAD DOGS had already been ripped apart in fights, but because they lost the fights Vick TOOK PLEASURE IN TORTURING THEM BEFORE THEY DIED.
AND HELL NO VICK DOES NOT DESERVE TO PLAY IN THE NFL.
Shame on the Eagles for signing him. Lots of criminals, once released, are unable to go back into their previous line of work. From teachers, to doctors, to lawyers, to maint. workers..Vick is in the entertainment industry, and personally I hope his sorryass gets a permanent injury, and is out for good.
BTW…asswipe..which hat are you pulling out of your drawer for this weekend? Giants? Colts? oh…Bronco’s?

It’s bad enough our educational system isn’t teaching you proper grammar skills, but can’t they at least keep you and similar wastes of sperm in a classroom (or dungeon) and off the streets?
Anyway Delinquent, take a shower (that’s that thing you clean your bong in), eat a square meal and get to campus.
Unless you want to end up a stuttering, tweaked out mess like Ricochet when you “mature”, get your head into your geometry book and out of the football blog.

Wait..what you meant, by your description, is “That’s why we’re called sheep”, didn’t you?
If it stinks, a true fan should note it, be PO’ed by it, and DEMAND BETTER.
Then there are the hide your head in the sand sheep, who only want to think ‘everything is jusssst fine’..where they have trouble dealing with the reality of what’s going on.
See, don’t be like Earl the Worm.
He’s stated to one and all that everyone here is a total idiot for even bothering to support/watch the Raiders. That HE PROUDLY owns numerous hats, and dons whatever teams hat that he feels gives him the best chance to “celebrate” on Sunday. He also proudly stated that once the Raiders start winning again, THEN HE’LL JUMP BACK ON THE BANDWAGON, and wear his Raider hat.
In other words, his sorryass lives vicariously through the games. He equates backing a winner means he’s less of a loser, and that, if nothing else, for a short time on Sundays, he gets to act like a winner.
He’s the worst of the worst kind of fan. Don’t be like Earl.

What kind of message are we sending to our kids that you can murder the defenseless for the money and say you are sorry and get right back to your NFL career? It’s not the crime and that fact he has done his time and should be forgiven, it’s the fact he’s sick and needs help for a very LONG time. Studies show most serial killers started with murdering animals as a kid. Why don’t we hold people accountable anymore? Do you think Obama would have been forgiven and elected if he had done this? Shame on you NFL!

You’re like that idiot who tried living with bears. he hung around and gave them names and whatever. they eventually ATE HIM. haha. that movie wasn’t a drama, it was a comedy. only a moron would do something so ridiculous
animals don’t have a soul. they don’t have rights. they are material possessions. used for food & our leisure. grow a pair
Thanks,

Timothy Treadwell (April 29, 1957 – October 5, 2003) was an American bear enthusiast, environmentalist, amateur naturalist, eco-warrior and documentary film maker. He lived among the coastal grizzly bears of Katmai National Park in Alaska, USA, for approximately 13 seasons. At the end of his 13th season in the park in 2003, he and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard were killed and partially devoured by one or possibly two grizzly bears. Treadwell’s life, work and death were the subject of the 2005 documentary film by Werner Herzog titled Grizzly Man.

Wait..what you meant, by your description, is “That’s why we’re called sheep”, didn’t you?
If it stinks, a true fan should note it, be PO’ed by it, and DEMAND BETTER.
———-
Please name me one instance in professional football where the FANS DEMANDED BETTER AND the team did something about it from those actions? We’ve been in the league for 50+ years. Please name me one instance where the fans got togehter demanded something and management gave in to their demands.
Talk is cheap Richochyt…Please show me the proof.

The latest tech news is bunnyfuel. Bunnies breed like crazy, are cheap to keep and a company has figured out a way to turn the entire bunny into an oil with little residue waste.
The oil can be used for plastics or fuel, but they face stiff opposition from animal rights groups.

I wish Mike Vick had tried to keep bears for fighting…and filmed it all.

Pit Vick’s remorse is called an NFL contract. He would have licked a dog’s butt to show how remorseful he was to get that money and on the field again. People who kill and torture defenseless animals, kids, etc. are disconnected emotionally and need psychicatric treatment, not giving speeches full of BS to kids.
Post #165 r8dr4lfe21 – I am sure Maximus the black Great Dane is wagging his tail and appreciates the lookin out for his brothers!
==================================================
Exactly! I get a kick out of people that talk up second chances and all this BS. Fact is, if Vick wasn’t caught, he’d still be torturing innocent dogs. Any remorse he shows now is motivated by money. Plain and simple. And he’s a coward for not wanting to face his demons.
r8dr4lfe21 said “why show remorse when you’re not guilty of wrong doing.” Really? Vick did nothing wrong. And you own a dog? Tell me. Do you beat your dog? Do you enjoy watching a dog getting drowned or beat to a pulp. Sound like fun to you?
And those of us that find what he did despicable…to call us a bunch of hypocrites is the dumbest thing I ever heard. I don’t torture animals, no matter what the animal.
Remember. This is a guy had a chance to come clean from the start. Instead he tried to blame his family – “I’m never at the house…I left the house with my family members and my cousin…They just haven’t been doing the right thing… It’s unfortunate I have to take the heat behind it”, lied to the commissioner, then finally admitted to his reprehensible crimes which included “hanging, drowning, electrocuting and shooting dogs”. WTF possesses someone to do this crap? You have to be one sick bast@rd!

In one study, 100 percent of those who committed murders involving rape or other sexual aspects had a history of cruelty to animals.
Almost 40 percent of animal abusers commit violent crimes against humans.
Sixty-three percent of men convicted of violent crimes admit to cruelty to animals.
Forty-eight percent of rapists and 30 percent of child molesters acknowledge episodes of cruelty to animals.
=================================================
Chew on that a little..

Wow thats a lot of info in this radio interview with Jarrod Cooper. Man things are worse than most of us can imagine in Oakland. Its horrible some of the insight he has
…………….
All I can say is wow. If even 50% of this true, we will be waiting a long time to see a winning team on the field in Black N Silver.
Time for the Corporate Sponsors and season ticket holders to come together and do something about Al Davis. This guy needs to be ran out of professional football.
October 16th, 2009 at 11:26 am
So what does Cooper say thats so bad?
October 16th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Maybe its just me but I think JaMarcus is actually showing good posture by not letting the fans rattle him. Sure you can say its because he doesnt care about the game but I think its a good quality to have in that position. I dont know how many time I heard McNabb getting booed, Troy Ainkman, hell even Favre got booed when he first went to GB. Were gonna suck for a while until the youngsters get older and perform up to their expectations. I would rather be young and suck than be veteran and suck cause veterans should know better.
