Chambers available
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, November 2nd, 2009 at 2:00 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The wide receiver who made the best catch of the game Sunday against the Raiders has suddenly become available.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reports veteran wide receiver Chris Chambers, who reached up and grabbed a 20-yard pass from Philip Rivers while looking directly into the sun and being tightly covered by Nnamdi Asomugha, was cut Tuesday.
It was the only completion Asomugha surrendered all day.
“Chambers said that he couldn’t even see the ball,” Asomugha told reporters afterward. That’s what Philip does. Every time I play him, if he throws one ball at me, it’s going to be that back-shoulder fade because he knows it’s the toughest to cover of any route that you could possibly give a man-to-man corner.
“He throws it with the best of them. He told me after the game, it’s always that route that he’s looking for. So, it was tough. And it just missed my hand, too. You don’t have time to look back for it, all you have to do is put a hand there. But it happens.”
Chambers is subject to waivers because he was let go after the trade deadline. It would cost the Raiders $2.4 million to sign him for the rest of the season, making it unlikely they’d make a move until they could sign him to a new contract.
In his 10th season, Chambers has 482 career receptions for 6,827 yards (14.2 yards per catch) and 53 touchdowns. He has nine catches for 122 yards this season _ which would place him second among Raiders wideouts _ but lost his starting job to Malcom Floyd.
More to come following Tom Cable press conference . . .

Thanks Dakota and Richochet for your answers to my earlier question. I hope AL dies, thats the only solution.
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Why would it be hard for AL to sign him, pay him 2.4 m this year, he is paying bums like Warren 5 mill a year.
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
lol
so what?
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Yeah!!!!!! Let’s sign him to millions then kepp him on the bench and start DHB and Murphy.

Damn!
That boy Shaunassey was balling yesterday. Hopes he continues to play that way for the rest of the season.
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Anyone know if the kid Jacquizz Rodgers from Oregon St. is projected as a high pick or could he be had in the later rounds? That would be a great addition, our own version of Sproles for kickoff returns and a solid 1-2 punch at RB with McFadden.
Obviously not if it requires a 1st or a 2nd but maybe a 3rd rnd pick???
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:19 pm
SO IF AL DAVIS DOES DIE, SINCE ERRBODY KEEP COMIN ON THE WEB SAYIN HOW MUCH THEY WANT HIM TO DIE. WILL THE FBI INVESTIGATE ALL YOU EVIL PEOPLE.? HOW BOUT WE ALL GET TORCHES AND WALK DOWN TO HIS ESTATE AND DEMAND HIS HEAD ?:(

Quiz Rodgers is only a soph, and wouldn’t come out this year, if he even has a shot to play in the NFL, he’s 5′9 in shoes. His brother James though would be a good pickup, but is only a Junior and will play his senior year @ OSU.
Raiders need:
QB Tony Pike-Cinci
WR Petis-Boise St
WR Mardy Gilyard-Cinci
DE George Selvie – USF
DT Nuh Nebraska
C- Odowd-USC
OLB Casey Mathews – Oregon
FS Mays- USC
FS-Berry Tenn
FS TJ Ward Oregon
OLB Keaton Kristick Oregon St.
Coach Chris Pederson – Boise St.
Brian Kelly- Cinci
Harbaugh- Stanford
Then maybe we’de finish .500 next year!!
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:34 pm
We need a Middle LB. Kirk is playing out of position.
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Tom Cable Gets fired:
AD: Tom, I am sorry but I have to let you go. I like you though, so I am not going to use this latest media thing to For Cause your ass okay?
TC: I appreciate that Mr. Davis, but can I ask why you are letting me go?
AD: Look, Mrs. Davis doesn’t like the fact that you are a wife-beater. What can I say…Carol rules the roost. If I don’t fire you I won’t get any action for months…and I don’t know how many months I have left so I just can’t risk it.
TC: Okay, I understand Mr. Davis. I am going home now to my wonderful wife.
AD: Good luck. Turn your playbooks over to Herrera on the way out.
TC: Honey, I am home!
TCWife: Tom, why are you home so early today?
TC: What are you saying you worthless b!tch? This is your fault not mine! (Whack, smack crash) That’ll teach you to smart mouth again! Are you sleeping with Hanson? Huh? Huh? Time for a lesson!
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:37 pm
There will be blackouts the rest of the year, and money will step in.
You hear that Mr Davis?

I can’t believe my Raiders suck. But they are still my Raiderss and I will support them until the end. Are we there yet?

November 2nd, 2009 at 2:38 pm
I just found out why Al likes Cable so much. Cable’s a scab. He played on the Colts replacement squad in ‘87. What a scumbag.
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Oh and cuz Chris Johnson and Routt are garbage surely need to replace them.
CB-Thurmond 3 from Oregon
CB-Kyle Wilson Boise
CB-Patrick Robinson FSU
CB-Sydquan Thompson Cal
and I guess we oughta get
Trent Williams OT from Oklahoma
or Okung from Oklahoma St since we’ll be picking top 5 again!!!
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:41 pm
We need a MLB, Spikes from Florida is a beast 6′3” 263. We need him in the middle

Repost:
“Lakers forward Pau Gasol underwent a sonogram that showed a possible tear in his right hamstring, and he is not expected to play on the team’s upcoming two-game road trip, the team said. Gasol also had a more complex MRI exam today on his hamstring, and those results will be known by Tuesday. Gasol is traveling with the Lakers for their games in Oklahoma City on Tuesday and in Houston on Wednesday but will not play. “We don’t expect him to play on this trip,” Lakers spokesman John Black said.”

That doesn’t sound good…Gasol should not have been allowed to play in that Euro Trash tournament after playing through June.
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:46 pm
We need a MLB and a Center before anything else in next years draft.
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Gasol played in Eurobasket because he likes to play for his country. Nobody can´t tell him not to defend his country
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:51 pm
So lets look at the reality of our season….our coach will be fired after this season because of his domestic problems our 1st round pick of the last three drafts have cost us significantly and could set us back financially because they simply cannot play.
Our Franchise QB that we have sunk about 50 Million into already is a bust and must be replaced.
We need MLB Center RT Safety and much much more in this upcoming draft.
The worst part of all this crap is that our owner (who sports a sexy drool rag) could live another ten years!!
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:52 pm
I’m waiting for Cable to say “we played well(bs) and are just about ready(bs) to turn the corner(bs). JR has a good game(bs) and is progressing well(bs). We ran well(bs) and the defense was great(almost not bs).
We can win(bs) the rest of our games(bs) and determine our own fate(bs). I will not respond to the ESPN article and will let the system take its course(bs).”

Florida’s ILB Brandon Spikes suspended for gouging eyes
“He’s very intense and very emotional and very passionate,” Tebow said. “I think that’s what makes him part of the great player that he is because he brings that fire. People look at him and the defense wants to play for him. The offense, they want to score so it makes it easier on him.
“He brings fire and he brings juice to everybody. Without that, he would not be as great of a player as he is, and he would not be even close to the leader that he is.”
I GUESS WE CAN USE SOME OF THAT FIRE

Maybe Al will strike a deal with me “Lucifer” and we can get you fans an owner who doesn’t draft the fastest 40 time and doesn’t sport that sexy drool rag!

You can’t blame Cable for reading the script and doing everything Herrera tells him to. He’s just collecting his money. As long as he does what they say, Al has to pay him, no matter what happens. Of course, on a personal level, Cable is pure trash anyway. Perhaps the atmosphere he has to contend with in Oakland is his bad karma? I would say Cable’s going to hell, but he’s already there. He works for the Raiders. It doesn’t get worse.

Premature Celebration in Philly.
updated 12:49 p.m. ET, Mon., Nov . 2, 2009
PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia newspaper has apologized to readers for mistakenly running an ad congratulating the Philadelphia Phillies on winning back-to-back World Series titles.
The Yankees held a commanding 3-1 lead in the championship as of Monday, the day the ad was printed in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The three-quarter-page Macy’s ad is on the back of the front section and features a T-shirt with the Phillies logo, the commissioner’s trophy and the phrase “Back To Back World Series Champions.”
November 2nd, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Marc Trestman would get pushed around. We need a coach who will just run the team their way, without fear of being fired. the only way that will ever happen is if they demand control in the contract. Trestman would accept the job as is, being Al’s b itch and scapegoat, his playcalling aside. He’ll call what Al wants him to call.

Just like Turner. Turner’s one of the best play callers in the league. What does it matter? If Al says he wants him to throw the ball, he’ll throw the ball. I lost count of how many games we had with run attempts in the teens when Turner was here. Everywhere else he ran the ball. He comes to Oakland, it’s pass to run 70/30. Get a clue, people. Al DOES meddle with offense, too. This stupid theory that he only tinkers with the D doesn’t jive with reality.
November 2nd, 2009 at 3:13 pm
hopefully mcfadden is back after the bye ..
i know he hasnt set the world on fire yet , but watching guys like mccoy from philly and mendanhall have success has to inspire him to get stuck the f**K in,morneo!! give him one 40yard dash and you be back on the d-mac bus ..
aint no one telling me they still think bush is better?
November 2nd, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Trestman moved to the Detroit Lions and quarterbacks coach in 1997. That year Lion’s quarterback Scott Mitchell passed for 3,484 yards, second most in team history.
In 1998 he was with the Arizona Cardinals as quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator. That year quarterback Jake Plummer threw for 3,737 yards, and the Cardinals made the playoffs for the first time since 1982 and won their first post season game in 51 years.
He next went to the Oakland Raiders in 2001 as the quarterbacks coach. In 2002 he was promoted to offensive coordinator and the Raiders led the NFL in total offense with 389.8 yards per game and passing yards with 279.7 per game. That Raider team made it to the Super Bowl but lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He’s one of my favorite players, but I truly believe he’ll play much better at the SLB like he did his rookie season. We need a punishing MLB who can stuff the run effeciently.

We need O-linemen. Draft all O-linemen in next year’s draft. JaDumAzz is too slow to quickly go through his progressions, make hot reads, sense pressure, or recognize formations and make audibles. Therefore, we need to give the kid EXTRA time. Never mind that other QB’s like Rivers know exactly where to go with the ball when blitzed. Our big Dough Boy is different. Special, even.
So, we need to draft O-line and ONLY O-line.
And we need to work out trades for Andre Johnson and Reggie Wayne. Russell needs all the help he can get. He needs others to make *him* better, and not the other way around.

Al Davis: “Looking up on the screen, you will see the personal conduct clause in Tom Cable’s contract. I will not pay one cent to the violent wife and woman beater. He has been removed from his position as Head Coach of da Raiders. The greatness of the Raiders is in its future. The next interim head Coach is Dakota who has bugged the crap out of me with his posts on JerryMacs blog. But I will not die for him.
JaMarcus Russel is a great QB and will remain the starter.”

Chambers:“He throws it with the best of them… if he throws one ball at me, it’s going to be that back-shoulder fade… all you have to do is put a hand there.
Now that’s accuracy from a quarterback AND communication with a receiver. I don’t think we’ll get to that level with JaMarcus and DHB.
