McFadden on field
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 at 11:21 am in Oakland Raiders.
Running back Darren McFadden and wide receiver Chaz Schilens went through warmups and drills as the Raiders began a brief bye week practice Wednesday, with both likely to have limited participation in team sessions.
Right tackle Cornell Green, meanwhile, was working on a separate field with a member of the athletic training staff. Those who were with the team but did not appear to be practicing were cornerback Chris Johnson (groin), defensive tackle Gerard Warren (foot) and tight end Tony Stewart (chest).
Linebacker Jon Alston, listed with concussions twice since Oct. 11, was suited up and working with special teams.
Defensive end Greg Ellis, scheduled for arthroscopic knee surgery this week, was not present, nor was wide reciever/return specialist Nick Miller. Also not present was punter Shane Lechler.
There was a new No. 10 on the field, a smallish wide receiver who could be an addition to the practice squad. Absent was guard Brandon Rodd, who is believed to have been released from the practice squad.
The head coach was Tom Cable.
More to come following practice . . .

Get Chaz healthy. Get McFadden healthy. Get our line healthy. Need a good 2nd half! GO RAIDERS!

MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP)—Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Vicente Padilla(notes) accidentally shot himself in the leg in Nicaragua.
Dr. Eduardo Reguera said Padilla didn’t need surgery after spending time at Managua’s Metropolitan Hospital.

At least it didn’t happen in New York!!

he does fall down a lot doesn’t he. lmfao. i think the hash marks are helping to tackle dmac. every time he tries to cut, he falls. why is that? ive never seen that constantly happen to a rb. once in a while a visiting rb will trip and then figure out the field in oak is below sea level and thus a little slick. maybe nobody told mcfalldown about that. maybe some bigger spikes dmac

McFade must remain healthy long enough to put the ball on the ground. He’ll be worrying so much about his knee that the ball will no doubt come out in a hurried manner.
Screw the Kobes.

Thankx Rockstar…
Many-a-morning you personally kept this site alive with your vast and up 2 the minute activity of not only our Raiders but all news in the NFL all the while at work…Now here you are and jerry just finishes putting ink to paper and you ALRADY have the possibilities printed!!!
And now that you’re Mr.High-FaLootin Promotion Guy and you STILL have time 4us !!!
Like I said Rockstar YOU REPRESENT THE NATION WELL,IN MY HUMBLE OPINION =)
November 4th, 2009 at 11:43 am
yeah m lonetree screw the kobes. if any one of the raiders had half the nugget pouch as kobe does we might actually win 6 games instead of 2 4 or 5. must be a queens fan. the lakers are the most consistan franchise in all of pro sports. playoff 56 out of 60 yrs or something really close to that. so f off with your screw the kobes nonsense. had mike jordan not existed, could you imagine how everyone would view kobe?

**************************************************
Given that we’re a game ahead of the Chiefs AND we have an easier remaining schedule (check it out), why would you say that? I’m just curious.
____________________________________________________
because our coaching staff sucks, our personel is just as bad as chiefs, but they dont have Al mingle in decisions… I think Chiefs will play better and better, and we will play worse and worse… just how my gut sees it… so I think we will get another top 6 pick…
November 4th, 2009 at 11:53 am
Neilb…
maaan i hope LFC finally will start playing ball, and beat the frenchies, it seems like Agger will start, that means a lot, because him being in the defense will make a huge difference both in backwards and forward game….

My gut sees us beating the Chiefs, Redskins and Browns (and POSSIBLY the Bengals). If the Chiefs win more than two more games, I’ll be shocked. The players hate Haley. They’re already mailing it in.

I suppose if we beat KC, Washington and the Bungholes and are 5-11 most of you guys will be hailing Tom Cable as a hero just like you mistakenly did at the end of last year.
“Oh what progress Tom has made!” “Look how Tom has them playing!” “He is like Madden!”
LMAO
When will you guys learn?
November 4th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
RR,
We do have a lot of Tweeners on this team. Scott, Reece, Russell, Bryant, Sey, Huff, Branch, Williams, and Alston. Al loves his projects.
Fire Cable Now!! What are you waiting for Al?! Promote PH to IC!
November 4th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Dakota,
I can’t wait till December!! Like you said, I can’t take all this cr@p anymore! 7 years I been drinking the Koolaide!! 7 years I say the same thing: ” this year is diff, I can feel it”!!!!
Fire Cable!! Now!!! I can’t go through 8 more games of this cr@p!!
Later Gents.

Jared from Oregon wonders if the Raiders would be better off with Michael Crabtree than Darrius Heyward-Bey:
Bill Williamson: I think you have to say yes on this one. Crabtree has been fantastic in two games and Heyward-Bey had struggled in eight games. Heyward-Bey has made no impact in Oakland, while Crabtree has already made an impact in San Francisco. Crabtree looks like a special player and he’d be Oakland’s best offensive player if he was wearing the Silver and Black.

LMAO..Rockstarwannabee is a kid..borderline pubescent.
Oh wait..it’s “4eva”..he who waits for someone else to think, then thanks them for thinking for him.
As far as you feeling so “behind” on current info?
If it means that much to you, go to google, type in “lemming”..at the bottom of the page you’ll see an option to have you emailed an alert everytime something is posted regarding “lemming”…heck you can even do it for “Al Davis Dumbass Moves”..and hark..everytime Al does something stupid, you’ll be notified.
In other words, you’ll have lots of emails to go through.
BTW..Earl took that exact advice. He gets alerts anytime “BINGO”, “Senior Citizen”, “obstinate old man” or “Sale on Depends” is posted.
Ask him..he’ll tell you.

^^^^^^^The Niners make an effort to throw him the ball….the Raiders don’t make in REAL effort to get the ball to DHB.
I’m still waiting for Cable or Tollner to call a WR bubble screens with two blockers in front of DHB so he can explode for a big gain. Still waiting to see proper reverse executed with DHB….still waiting on some plays called with him running some double moves…..still waiting on plays to be called with him running hitch patterns or 15 curl and comeback routes.
I’m still waiting for Al Davis to “retire” from making football decisions and for a REAL HC to be hired like Gruden, Cowher or Holmgren or Fisher!
November 4th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
This team needs Jon Gruden as the Head Coach again!
Only way this team turns into a respectable playoff caliber team again…..PERIOD!
November 4th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
“(Free agent — 45 percent) Far be it from me to promote anyone in a Raiders uniform, but if you’re desperate for a running back, adding Fargas is worth considering. He’s rushed for a combined 209 yards and a touchdown in his last three games, and a matchup against the Chiefs and their weak run defense awaits after a bye in Week 10. Again, if you’re in dire straits at the position, Fargas has some value.”
