Satele to keep job as starting center
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 at 2:09 pm in Oakland Raiders.
News, notes and quotes from the Raiders’ bye week practice, open locker room and press briefing by coach Tom Cable:
– The Raiders expect to be at full strength on the offensive line when they resume play Nov. 15 against Kansas City. Right tackle Cornell Green will practice with no limits starting next week and said he will be ready to play.
Robert Gallery will be back at left guard after being out breaking his left fibula in Week 2.
When those men return, Chirs Morris, the starting center who moved to left guard when Gallery was hurt, will be a reserve player at center and guard with Samson Satele retaining the job as starting center.
Satele conceded catching on the the zone blocking system took awhile, especially after missing OTAs following shoulder surgery.
“Now, I got this offense down,” Satele said. “Now I can just go and run with it and get the starting job back, and it’s my job to lose I guess.”
“It’s more a techinique thing. I was still in my power reaches instead of zone reaches so once I got that down, Cable saw it, and I handled it pretty well, like you said. I didn’t take it in a negative way. It took me about four weeks into the season and I’m right back in it.”
Said Cable: “When you evaluate his play and Chris’ play when Chris was the center, it surpassed it. He’s been really a bright spot for us lately.”
– Cable said he expected Darren McFadden to play against Kansas City, but hadn’t thought ahead to if he would return as a starter or be utilized in combination with Justin Fargas, Michael Bush or both.
– The Raiders used the initial bye week practice to clean up problems in the first eight games.
“Every thing that we did in practice today and everything tomorrow will be directly related to what the negative issues have been thus for the first half,” Cable said. “So it is very much focusing on just us, and where we’ve had problems and where they need to get cleaned up and trying to get some cleared some things cleared up for certain individuals.”
In what might be a bigger upset than beating the Eagles, the Raiders managed to finish a practice related to all their negative issues in under two hours.
– Rookie wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, with five receptions in eight starts, continued to shrug off a lack of statistical production for what he believes is truly important.
“It’s just frustrating when we lose. Point blank, end of story,” Heyward-Bey said. “I didn’t come in thinking no crazy numbers or anything. I just want to help the team win. We’ve only won two so I’m not helping.”
Heyward-Bey, reviewing his own play through eight games, said his weekly evaluations have been good.
“I haven’t made the plays I want to make, but I’ve definitely been solid looking at my grades that come out of the game,” Heyward-Bey said. “I’ve been very solid. There’s always room for improvement with the whole receiving corps. We’ve been all right.”
– Speaking of grades, here was Cable’s response to grading how he’s done as head coach the first half of the season: “A C-plus, at best. I just feel like, obvious issues that are out of our control, I’m not an excuse guy, but I think not having enough people healthy on offense has really hindered us, and I think I have to take responsibility of being 2-6. So that’s the bottom line.”
– Wide receiver Chaz Schilens said he is currently at about the same point in his recovery from a broken metatarsal as he was the week of the Jets game before being forced to back off because of soreness.
“I just did a little too much and that’s really all that happened,” Schilens said. “So we just backed off, doing a little bit at a time, being as careful as I can be.”
Given that he’s already been the focus of one press release saying he’d be back against the Jets, Schilens didn’t want to look ahead to Nov. 15 and speculate.
“Right now I’m just taking it day to day, so if I wake up tomorrow and it doesn’t feel any worse, I know we’re good,” Schilens said.
– Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said players amongst themselves had talked about the possibility of bringing in wide receiver Chris Chambers after he was cut from San Diego.
“The guys were like, `He could help us,’ as far as injuries and those sorts of things,” Asomugha said. “But I guess Kansas City got him.”
The Chiefs claimed Chambers before the Raiders had a chance. It’s doubtful the Raiders would have claimed Chambers anyway, given that his $2.4 million salary is part of the package. Cable indicated the Raiders probably wouldn’t have made a run at him even at a lesser price had he cleared waivers.
– Asomugha, the Raiders well-read cornerback who has used the words “apocryphal” and “sententious” in quotes while talking with reporters at various times, was stumped by “opprobrium,” the five-dollar word the Raiders dropped into a press release about allegations against coach Tom Cable.
Opprobrium is defined as “public disgrace or ill fame that follows from conduct considered grossly wrong or vicious.”
“Don’t know that one,” Asomugha said.
– Asomugha played police officer Ken Shaw in the season premiere of “Friday Night Lights” on DirecTV, a small role in which he brought a troubled teen to the football coach at East Dillon High School.
He said the whole process took about three hours and was shot early in September and that the shooting time was only 30 minutes.
“My sister is a big fan of it so she watches it all the time,” Asomugha said. “I never really got into it. I saw a few episodes. I love the movie so I was familiar with it from that standpoint.”
– Gallery was leaving practice to pick up his wife at the hospital after the birth of their daughter Hayden on Monday. It is the couple’s first child.
– Wide receiver Shaun Bodiford (5-foot-11, 186 pounds, Portland State) was added to the practice squad while Brandon Rodd was cut. Bodiford has had short stays with Washington and Green Bay.

Lets hope he earns it. We’ve been lacking a center since Robbins

The new #10 in the earlier post was Shaun Bodiford who was practicing with us. He’s a WR and Kick Returner. Strange to do now that Nick Miller should be back too…
November 4th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Its their attitude. They can compete with any team in the League when they play hard for 4 quarters and dictate tempo. They get behind or have a bad play and quit on themselves and us.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
MR,
LMAO.
I remember watching that scene as a kid…freaked me out lol.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Lets get our line, our starting wide and DMC back and see what we can do.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Nnamdi21 I agree. Attitude. The defense feeds off the attitude the offense projects too. With a healthy O line can we finally run the ball?
November 4th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Nnamdi21 said it in a nutshell. The team is talented enough to make a playoff run. The players are quitters!!!!
November 4th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Maybe Cable can carve out a couple of days in the next two weeks to have the players play patty-cake again like he did the first few days of training camp.
That was sooooo helpful!
November 4th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
How about the 1..2..3.. get better thing the special teams was doing?
November 4th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
I think that they would have a better chance of competing if they just ran the ball. Forget having JaLardass throw it for 3 and out every time. We need to give the defense some time off the field. It seems that they’re on the field all of the time. Just run it baby.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Heyward-Bey said “I’ve been very solid.” lol! not solid son, dense, dense is the word you’re looking for…
November 4th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Cable said he expected Darren McFadden to play against Kansas City, but hadn’t thought ahead to if he would return as a starter or be utilized in combination with Justin Fargas, Michael Bush or both.
=========================================
“but hadn’t thought ahead”
lol..why start now? Never has any coach ever been more clueless today, on what he was going to do tomorrow, than Cable.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
The Raider Players are trapped in the twilight zone. They know better than aqnyone just how incompetent the organization is. Pretty hard and unrealistic to get fired up everyweek under those circumstances.
If I’m McFadden or any other player there who might a a future in the real NFL, I’m looking to get out of here with my knees in shape and prusue my dreams elsewhere.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Any bets that Cable is gonna tweak our run-run-pass-punt offense Jamarcus has perfected? This team must have some kind of 3&out record for the first 8 games…ahy stats freak out there can answer that one?
November 4th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Speaking of grades, here was Cable’s response to grading how he’s done as head coach the first half of the season: “A C-plus, at best.

So that’s the bottom line.”
======================
C plus? C PLUS???? WTF??? Cable actually thinks he’s done a BETTER THAN AVERAGE JOB AS HEAD COACH?
No WONDER Russell thinks he, too, is “doing just fine”.
Interesting in that Bey thinks he also is doing his job.
I guess the general notion is “I looked around, and hey, if THEY think they’re doing ok, I sure as hell am”.
“Reality”, Cable, doesn’t mean turn on MTV for the latest brain dead show….reality means you suck as a HC. Hell, even Zorn is telling his owner “hey, at least I’m not that wife beater, in Oakland, who hasn’t a clue on playcalling or player development..right Danny? Dannyboy? Mr. Snyder???”
November 4th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
I’m thinking the easy thing to do would be to throw Cable under the PR Bus. That way Davis doesn’t have to admit he made a bad coaching hire.

If you want to watch the real team in black right now. Watch the Saints play ball! They built that team up around a QB and a a X and Os coach. They put their players in a position to win. They play to those players strengths. I guess we will be running McFadden on a blast up the middle for two yards and sweeping Bush around the outside.
This team sucks!
^^^^^^Yep!! And guess whose freakin fault it is? One more tim again….it starts at the top with AL DAVIS MAKING PIN HEAD PERSONNEL AND COACHING DECISIONS

November 4th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
KoolKell,
That’s what I was talking about last night regarding the HC/QB carousel. An avg tenure of 25 games is unbelievable. No player is going to flourish under that much upheaval.Somebody has to be given a chance, if not Cable, who? Gilbride..please, as soon as the team lost two in a row people would be screaming we’ve got a sissy who got punked by 70 year old man on the sidelines, as a head coach. IMO it is a pipedream to believe Cowher or Holmgren is going to come to Oakland. I enjoyed the Gruden years, I would love to see him back, the fanbase worships Chuckie in oaktown, but I don’t see it happening. Besides, those reunion tours usually don’t go too well.. see Shell II, and even hall of fame coach Joe Gibbs in DC.

November 4th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
KoolKell,
With regards to your earlier post regarding McFadden and other young players saving themselves for their postRaider careers, I sincerely hope that is not the case. That would speak to a complete lack of integrity, pride and be thoroughly unprofessional. Al Davis has many faults, but he is a players owner. He pays his players well, sometimes too well. This is a proud franchise, that has one three divisions and one conf. championships in this decade, not some glory days of the seventies.These guys should be focused on getting this mess turned around, not thinking about greener pastures. Anything less would be a disgrace to themselves, the team and the league.
November 4th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Buckeyeraider,
When is Al Davis going to respect the game? What he is doing is extremely selfish. Not letting coaches do their jobs, forcing them to start players, forcing them to run schemes and taking dictatorial power of the top end of the draft.
He drafts these great college players and then doesn’t provide those players with competent coaching.
Al Davis is an absolute disaster as an owner. Disaster.
And it won’t get better because he refuses to change in the slightest.
Although irritating, I accept it all. Al Davis owns the team and can run as he sees fit.
I recognize that this team will never win again (winning season) or see the playoffs. All I do is look for effort from the players. I thought last week was outstanding.
They did the best they could

Is Khalif Barnes going to get better like Satele? Is it learning the technique? I don’t want Green back on the field!
November 4th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
The NFL is sophisticated and the Raiders play with two hands tied behind their back.
When “Michael JaDarren-Bey” was drafted…every follower of the draft thought that this player was a 1st round talent and no worse than a top end 2nd round talent.
Why do soooooo many Raider draft picks fail? 20 of 24 1st and 2nd round picks busted out with Asomugha, Howard, Janikowski and Zach Miller as the only 4 to have made it since 1999. Even the trades for Moss and Hall were utter disasters.
Stop blaming the players and coaches. It’s way beyond them. Davis runs the team as he sees fit and it within his right to do so.
So either switch teams…or do as I do and just kick back watch and hope they compete.

If Russell trusts/connects with Schilens like he does with Miller then there will be a substantive difference.
But that is a big if given Schilens being out for 10 weeks now.

Let Ja-off-the-mark-us play from the shotgun like he did in college. He does not have the agility to drop back and see the field at the same time. Works for Brady…

The injuries slowed him down a touch. Tom Cable has totally misused this kid. Totally.
They don’t get him in space
They don’t get him touches
And they run him up the middle like he is Michael Turner
Earlier I mentioned competent coaching. Davis has utterly failed his “great playahs” by surrounding them with pathetic coaching.

Maybe. But he rarely has played right tackle. He’s a plodding left tackle moved to the outside.
Cornell Green is the best option because Al Davis neglected the O-Line this year.
Phil Loadholt anyone?

And throw the ball to who? Route running on this team is atrocious. Plus the shotgun is terrible for running the football.
The coaches DID NOT get these kids ready to play. They ran a “Club Med” training camp and OTA session. Cable admits to not having them practice a play till they get it right. The team makes basic mental mistakes that should have been ironed out during Club MEd.
Because Davis is a players owner/coach…everything they do is probably on the softer side.
Moving the QB to shotgun isn’t going to fix this mess.

And despite that coaching turnover, which is at the root of this problem….Tom Cable has to go. He is an absolutely terrible head coach. They have games where they can’t even compete at an NFL level. He ran “Club Med” and tried these bizarre techniques of 4 day walk-throughs and not finishing plays correctly.
The team is very sloppy on the field and Cable’s playcalling is horrible.
Get a retread coach with some experience and success that wants the job and can accept Al Davis’ mandates.
The retread coach won’t win either. But hopefully he can get the team to be competitive in each game on a weekly basis.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
I would also scrap this ZBS. The O-Line is so underwhelming.
Either drop the ZBS or mandate that Cable becomes Head Coach and O-Line Coach and DUMPS his O.C role.
Cable should take a page from Mike Singletary. Humble yourself and try to be a competent head coach.
He is TOTALLY unqualified to be calling plays and designing (excuse me) interpreting Davis’ designs
November 4th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
SNB,
I believe AD respects the game, and he certainly loves his team. This losing has to be killing him like it does the rest of us. He wants to win. A couple of years ago, when he got that cash infusion, it didn’t go in his pocket. He spent it trying to improve his team, didn’t nesc. spend it well. He’s 80 years old, and admitted he needs help in the front office. Hasn’t happened yet. I hope it does soon. Somebody he trusts and can work with.
Here’s what I think is the main problem with this team. Some earlier posters mentioned that this team quits, and to a certain extent it’s true. I think the problem traces back to earlier in this decade, when the team was winning those 3 div’s and playing in the superbowl. That was a veteran laden team with hall of fame leadership. When their window closed all that leadership.. Gannon, Rice,Brown, Romanowski, Kennedy,Trace Armstrong and Rod Woodson were gone in one year, two tops. There was no blending of youth with those vets. The dropoff was so sudden and severe from superbowl team to young 4-12 team. The young vets who should make the core of any team have experienced zero success at the pro level.They have been enveloped in this negativity, this losing culture, with the endless, excessive abuse from espn. When something goes wrong early in a game like the turnovers against the broncos,Jets and Chargers or a bad call like the Murphy catches, they go Oh No, here we go again. and tend to throw in the towel. This team has to relearn what it takes to win.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
I’ve long thought of the p.m. crew here as mostly reprobates or recidivists but now I know of y’all as opprobriates.
retread coaches? retread QBs? retread WRs? retread yourselves. look at what you’re advocating. let the kids play, but get rid of Cable unready.

#40 A classic McKay quote from the early Tampa Bucs days- Here are some more of his gems:
1 – In response to a question about his team’s execution – “I’m all in favour of it.”
2 – On an interception thrown by Steve DeBerg in 1984 that cost the Bucs a game against the Giants – “It was thrown to nobody. Well, it was thrown to somebody, Harry Carson. But he happened to be playing for the New York Giants at the time. It would have been a good pass if Harry had been playing for us.”
3 – After a particularly heavy loss – “The bus leaves in an hour – anyone who needs a shower, take one.”
4 – On losing a key game – “I told our players that there were 700 million Chinese people in the world who didn’t even know the game was played. The next week, I got five letters from China asking “What happened?”
5 – After the Bucs broke their 26-game losing streak – “Three or four plane crashes and we’re in the playoffs.”
6 – On recruiting his son John to play for USC and then the Bucs – “I had an advantage – I slept with his mother.”
7 – On the prospect of a late-season trip to Green Bay – “Going there is like winning the 98th prize in a beauty contest with only 97 prizes.”
8 – On hearing how Buc kicker Pete Rajecki was nervous about McKay watching him in the 1976 pre-season – “That’s unfortuntate as I plan on attending all the games.”
9 – At a post-game press conference in 1976 “You guys don’t know the difference between a football and a bunch of bananas.”
10 – The following week after a media member has dropped off a case of bananas at his door – “You guys don’t know the difference between a football and a Mercedez-Benz.”

Buckeyeraider,
Things were not going well before those all too brief Gruden years.
The problem is that Al Davis cannot get a good coach because he INSISTS on choosing the assistants, choosing the scheme, choosing the starting lineup and having 100% control of the draft. Then drafting players with low NFL capability….if “Michael JaDarren-Bey” is any measure.
I think the problem is that Davis has no one checking. No one. So he’s up there going full-bore with his old ideas and they fail miserably. Look at the WR and Special Teams coaches? Look at John Marshall’s game planning Oakland vs. Seattle? Look at the offensive playcalling? Look at who sits the bench?
BTW, Coach Cable can’t even motivate these guys to show up in shape, work after practice and maintain focus during a game. But then, Coach Cable was the only option Davis really had.
I am a Raider fan. But I don’t expect them to win. I don’t see a path to victory as long as Davis runs the team this way. Again, I just look for effort because I enjoy watching Raider football (with the exception of those blowouts) and just want to see a competitive effort
November 4th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Like I said earlier Al Davis has his faults. He is a stubborn old man, who wants things done his way. His meddling with staffs, personnnel ,and reluctance to pay his coaches large salaries are why Holmgren, Cowher, etc aren’t coming to Oakland. People can talk about the game passing him by, but as Jerry pointed out a couple of weeks ago, the offensive, and defensive schemes he wants ran, aren’t much different than what the Giants run. And a few weeks ago the NY Giants were widely considered the best team in football.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Sorry Tom, but from the Raider Nation your report card is an “F”. Room for major improvement!

The problem is that Davis undermines the coaches and that way the players have no respect for them, and the only respect they have is for Davis. They try to look good in Davis eyes and nothing else matter because they know if Davis likes them everything else will be ok.
They know he is a retard too, and they somehow try to look good, and keep an average playing standard so to be on the field and get to the next contract. Because they know Davis is stupidly loyal and throws money at them and they use him in that way, nobody has respect for Davis really. It’s all about money.
If there isn’t any influence to make them responsible for their play – example Davis telling Jafatass – if you don’t play good I’ll change you, doesn’t matter the salary, then they won’t do it.
The other thing is no credible coach will want to come here and have a senile ol finish man telling them what to do? And embarrass him in front of the players. Why?
Everything is rotten from Davis, if he doesn’t go, everything will be the same.
Best thing is to hit on some vets, that they care personally, not because of Davis

This is the difference between the Giants & Raiders, ok?

Free Agency in the NFL started in 1989 with Plan B. It marked a new way of operation for NFL teams.
In the 20 Seasons since the implementation of Free Agency and the Modern Era, some teams have adjusted, some have not. The following is the number of winning seasons by team since 1989:
Pittsburg 15
Miami 14
Green Bay 14
New England 13
Philadelphia 13
San Francisco 12
Minnesota 12
Kansas City 12
Indianapolis 12
Denver 12
Dallas 12
Tennessee 11
New York Giants 10
Buffalo 9
Seattle 8
Tampa Bay 8
San Diego 8
New York Jets 8
Chicago 8
Washington 8
Oakland 6
Atlanta 6
New Orleans 6
St Louis 5
Detroit 5
Cleveland 4
Cincinnati 2
Jacksonville’s been in the League since 1995, 7 winning seasons.
Carolina been in the League since 1995, 4 winning seasons.
Baltimore’s been in the League since 1996, 6 winning seasons.
Houston’s been in the League since 2002, 0 winning seasons.

Listen up Nation,
Don’t think for a second that all these guys returning for the Chiefs game is just a coincidence after Cable’s meeting with Al yesterday. Cable was told that if he didn’t get to 9 wins, he’s out as Head Coach.
Now Cable got all these guy’s (that are still injured) returning before they are ready. Cable is risking these guys now because Al put his back against the wall.
While he’s at it, he should at least throw Javon out there. I know right now today this minute that Javon is better than Crabtree. I also know right now today this very minute that Crabtree is better than DHB.

Like I said earlier Al Davis has his faults. He is a stubborn old man, who wants things done his way. His meddling with staffs, personnnel ,and reluctance to pay his coaches large salaries are why Holmgren, Cowher, etc aren’t coming to Oakland. People can talk about the game passing him by, but as Jerry pointed out a couple of weeks ago, the offensive, and defensive schemes he wants ran, aren’t much different than what the Giants run. And a few weeks ago the NY Giants were widely considered the best team in football.
=======================================================
There are a lot of professional differences between the Giants and Raiders. The only thing the two teams have in common is a reluctance to blitz. That’s about it. On offense…the Raiders run a basterdized WCO/Vertical Deep passing game with a ZBS offensive line blocking scheme. The Giants play power football with a full route tree.
The Raiders rely on undersized speedy players that tend to get overwhelmed…the Giants have LINEMAN and sure tacklers all over the field.
November 4th, 2009 at 6:22 pm

I heard Jerry try to compare Giant, Raider schemes.
Like SnB said, the Giants play power ball. The Raiders…………yeah the Raiders run a basterdized WCO/Vertical Deep passing game with a ZBS offensive line blocking scheme.

I’ve been a Raider Fan since 64′ born and raised in Oaktown. When it comes to Raider Knowledge, you can’t carry my jockstrap. Those are facts.

Also,
Tom Coughlin has firm command and RESPECT of his team. His strength allowed him to discipline Plaxico Burress up until Plaxico did himself in.
How would Plaxico been treated in Oakland?
The Giants also have one of the most respected General Managers in Jerry Reese….The Raiders have Al Davis…
November 4th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
What elements of the WCO are the Raiders running? I see almost no crossing routes or quick slants. I thought they were running the old air coryell/sid gillman deep passing game. As far as the ZBS, at Cable’s PC in the offseason AD claimed they were going to get away from a pure ZBS, and incorporate more power blocking into their schemes. How successful, they’ve been at it, I can’t say. Not very, apparently.
November 4th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
SNB,
with all due respect, if you recall Tom Coughlin was on the hot seat back then ,rumored to be the first HC fired in season, that year. The players were starting to resent and rebel against his little dictator style. Then they got hot and went on a roll, and won the whole thing. Like they say winning is the best deoderant.

The Raiders claimed that they kept elements of Kiffin’s playbook which is WCO. But clearly the “cut it loose” mentality means 7 step drops and 9-routes all day to the tune of 5% completion % on deep throws
The Raiders are running the WCO. Satele just mentioned that it took him the half of the year to learn this ZBS.
Davis did say he wanted more power. What did that mean? Maybe the signing of Langston Walker suggests change is on the way

The main thing, is that the Giants run the same system every year. And they’re good at what they do. The Raiders run the WCO for a year. Vertical for a year. Fired those coaches, now run a blend of both. Will fire this coach, and new systems will be implemented, AGAIN.

I’m not arguing with you guys. I agree with you both, I believe.Kell, last night I posted about that 87 Bo Jackson game we discussed earlier, and how it was sad because, after that the modern era of HC/QB instability began. That insanity has to stop.
SNB, I’ve said before, Al Davis has strayed from his original blueprint on how he wanted the Raiders constructed. He wanted to base his football teams after the baseball teams of his youth, blending the speed of the Brooklyn Dodgers with the size and strength of the NY Yankees. I said todays Raiders were way too much dodger, not enough Yankee like. The Raiders need to get bigger, stronger, and meaner on both sides if the line of scrimmage, like the G-men.

Nnamdi21,
Satele came out in the same draft class as Jamarcus, Bush and Z. Miller. The draft guide I have from back then had him listed as the second best center behind USC’s Ryan Khalil. It described him as a street brawling tough guy who blocks with some nastiness. When they made the trade I was excited about his potential. And remember, not only was he learning a new scheme, but also coming off shoulder surgery. If he continues to improve, and nails down the starting center spot, that would be huge.
I said before we they have the balance of this year to figure out if Khalif barnes can make the switch to right tackle. So far the results have not been encouraging. That first snap against NYJ was a disaster. But he too was coming back from a broken leg, and switching positions. He was a pretty promising young OL in Jax, before he got in some off field trouble. If he could lock up RT, that also would be huge. Then maybe the Raiders could turn their attention in next years draft to a pocket collapsing, double team eating DT, and a big run stuffing MLB in the early rounds of next years draft. Sound Good?

The two big DT’s, the monster from Nebraska and the kid from Alabama will probably both be gone before they pick. Let’s see…TB,Cle,Det,STL,KC,Tenn, maybe even Wash,Jax and even Carolina..

Lets put it this way, whomever we pick will probably still be around whenever we pick. We could have had that loser DHB anywhere in the first or second round. In 2011 the Patriots get our top ten pick and they’ll probably know what to do with it. If we had given up all 3 of our last 1 st round picks for any contributing starter we’d be better off than we are now paying over 87 million in guaranteed money to JaBustus, McFalldown and Darius-Heyward Bust.

November 4th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
Robbins WAS a great center. Right up until the superbowl. Then he went off his meds and went completely nuts.
He was the only center I saw that man-handled Ted Washington one on one.
I heard he’s teaming up with Marinovich on the Pelican Bay Raiders.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
As unproductive as DHB has been he hasn’t made nearly as many mistakes as Murphy. Murphy seems very anxious and jittery. I would work DMC in slowly but Schilens is so desparately needed we can’t afford him to play less than 80% of the snaps.
I think both will make the passing game much better. Along with a healthy JLH. Now if we can get Nick Miller healthy we might have something. This passing game has been atrocious without these guy’s, these babies we’ve been playing don’t scare anybody. ZMiller will become a much more effective TE in the middle of the field with Chaz and JLH.
We can get down field much faster and spread defenses out and attack the seams. Which is the strength of Russell. I’m hoping by Thanksgiving we will have what we thought we had coming into the season in terms of an effective offense that can put some points on the board.
November 5th, 2009 at 12:41 am
Two things I can’t understand:
1. Why the heck did we get rid of our WR coach last year who the WRs were raving about and put Sanjay Lal in there who has never done it in his life (and then give him the task of 3 rookies and 2 2nd year players!) The one area we’d need a real Veteran we have a person who got promoted from being a quality control coach.
2. WHY the heck does everyone think they’re doing such a good job? DHB keeps saying he’s doing great and grading otu well. Russel thinks he is doing a wonderful job and would probably give himself a B+ or an A. Cable at least is closer to the mark giving himself a C+. I wouldn’t grade him an F. He has kept the team unified from all I can tell…but he hasn’t gotten through to the young guys that they need to do a lot better and he hasn’t always put in the players who give the biggest chance to win and that I think is his downfall.
November 5th, 2009 at 12:55 am
It kind of sounds like that old bit on Saturday Night Live.
“I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And gosh darnit, people like me.”
Daily affirmations with Stuart Smalley.
Cable’s deal was that he going to re-establish positive energy on the team. That was his thing.
He wasn’t an X’s and O’s guy and he didn’t have much to offer except that.
I doubt the players truly believe the crap they are saying. It’s just part of the whole confidence building plan.
“If you believe, it will happen,”
I liked Gruden’s approach. Pay attention, study hard and work hard…then comes the confidence.
November 5th, 2009 at 1:23 am
Listen, Talent alone doesn’t win games, talent playing well does. The talent on this team has not played well for a variety of reason stemming from youth and inexperience. To a lack of confidence that they can effectively win games. Confidence is everything and you haven’t done it until you do it.
When you have a very young and struggling QB playing with two young and struggling WR’s and a running game that’s been largely ineffective. What the hell do you expect? We have not ran the ball well or consistently ALL YEAR LONG!! the best friend of a young QB is a great running game, well ours has been basically nonexistent. Add to that a nonexistent passing game and you have 2 and 6. Give me a consistent running game and a go to WR and TE at least that is a start and you can biuld from that. But even our Oline has been very inconsistent.
But all anyone can ever talk about is the struggling QB, I’ll tell you what put Peyton Manning in this mess and he’ll FAIL. Heck the 49ers shuld’ve beat them due t the fact that they couldn’t run the ball and Peyton looked average. Take away Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark and they lose that game by double digits. And that’s Peyton Manning. Look at Eli Manning all of a sudden without a running game and his go to WR and they drop 3 straight games with that bad defense.
Football is the ultimate team game and no QB without an Oline and competent WR’s and a running game is going to look good. Tony Romo struggled like crazy witout a running game and a go to WR all of a sudden a WR emerges and his running game returns and he looks like an All-Pro.
The dsaints put a pass rush on Matt Ryan and he throws 3 picks one for 6 six points. Why? the rush got to him and he had a great running game. A QB is only as good as the team around him. But these dumbells in here will take the next 100 years to figure that out.
November 5th, 2009 at 1:55 am
Priest – dude, you crack me up.
Yeah, a great QB would struggle in Oakland. However, you could put a bad QB on the best team and he would still be a bad QB.
Russell sucks man. Its not all his fault, this is true. But you could put Russell on the Saints and he would STILL suck.
I was all for the pick that brought Russell to Oakland based on his work at LSU. But I have watched him enough now to get a pretty good gut feeling about this guy. HE SUCKS.
RUSSELL WILL NEVER BE A WINNING NFL QB. THIS WILL BE HIS LAST YEAR AS A STARTER IN THIS LEAGUE.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:00 am
I actually think it’s not entirely true. There’s varying degrees of the good running game with bad QB. I still say the QB play is WAAAAAAY off here. Look at how many of his short throws go into the dirt or WAAAAY wide (especially when he’s throwing to the outside of the field).
The difference would be if we hit those 3rd and short throws we’d have a lot more running yards (because we’d get 1st downs and be able to run it again). Missing over 50% of your passes won’t fly no matter how good your running game.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:02 am
A good QB on this team would make a huge difference. When Gradowski was in we did move the ball BETTER than when Russel was in. If we put a GOOD QB in suddenly the WRs looks like they can catch the ball and the running game opens up.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:38 am
There are so many things going wrong that you can’t tell what’s broken.
Is the quarterback suffering because the WR’s are crap? Or is it because the O-line is garbage?
Are the RB’s the problem?
I say put Frye in for a couple of games and then evaluate the talent around him. You know what you have with Frye. A below average QB, who can make some throws, but should still be good for 14-21 points a game.
If DHB and Murphy still can’t catch the ball, then eliminate them from the equation.
If Frye is getting hammered, then the O-line needs an upgrade.
Find the weaknesses and fix them before you throw JaMarcus on the scrap heap. He looked like a solid throwing QB at LSU. Maybe he can be salvaged.
November 5th, 2009 at 3:01 am
It’s refreshing to see Tom Cable try and instill a positive attitude on the team.
He must have picked that up from his anger management classes.
November 5th, 2009 at 3:55 am
Morning NATION…half way there and here is the 1st 1
**********************************************************
Here’s a look at the first 16 picks in the NFL draft, as projected by Sporting News’ War Room scouts. Draft order is as of the end of Week 8 (*—underclassman):
Dez Bryant’s season-ending suspension shouldn’t hurt his draft stock.
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Dez Bryant*, WR, Oklahoma State
The Bucs need playmakers on offense, so despite Bryant’s suspension, they should jump at the chance to get the big, athletic receiver who can make big plays with the ball in his hands.
2. St. Louis Rams: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
The Rams’ defensive line has struggled in recent seasons, and Suh would give them a powerful and athletic tackle who can change games.
ADVERTISEMENT
3. Cleveland Browns: Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Even with Joe Thomas(notes), Cleveland needs a lot of help on its offensive line, and Williams would give the inevitable new head coach and GM a pair of elite tackles.
4. Kansas City Chiefs: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
To give Matt Cassel(notes) a chance at long-term success, the Chiefs have to protect him. Okung is an athletic and strong tackle who would start on the right side in 2010 and could take over the left spot eventually.
5. Tennessee Titans: Gerald McCoy*, DT, Oklahoma
The Titans’ defense has not been the same since losing Albert Haynesworth(notes), so they should jump at the chance to get another impact tackle in McCoy.
6. Detroit Lions: Eric Berry*, S/CB, Tennessee
Berry plays safety at Tennessee, but he is best suited to cornerback in the NFL. His athleticism, instincts and playmaking ability would really upgrade the Lions’ secondary.
7. Oakland Raiders: Taylor Mays, S, USC
The Raiders’ strength is their defense, but adding the versatile Mays would make the unit even better.
8. Seattle Seahawks: Bryan Bulaga*, OT, Iowa
Walter Jones’(notes) career might be over, and Bulaga is a big-time athlete who might be able to replace him.
9. Washington Redskins: Sam Bradford*, QB, Oklahoma
Whoever takes over the Redskins will be looking to rebuild, and adding Bradford—who likely would have been the No. 1 overall pick if not for his shoulder injury—would make too much sense.
10. Buffalo Bills: Joe Haden*, CB, Florida
Rookie safety Jairus Byrd(notes) has improved the Bills’ secondary, but now they need to upgrade at cornerback, and Haden would bring them a rare athlete with great instincts and playmaking skills.
11. Jacksonville Jaguars: Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas
The Jags need to greatly improve their pass rush, and Kindle would bring his rare explosiveness to the defensive end position.
12. San Francisco 49ers: Thaddeus Gibson*, OLB, Ohio State
For the 49ers’ defense to become elite, they need to improve their pass rush, and Gibson would bring the explosiveness and skills necessary to do so.
13. Miami Dolphins: Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida
Many believe Channing Crowder(notes) is not long for Miami, and Akin Ayodele(notes) is not a long-term answer at inside linebacker, so it would make sense to add the tremendously instinctive Spikes, who fits Miami’s defense perfectly.
14. San Francisco 49ers (from Carolina): Jon Asamoah, OG, Illinois
The 49ers must improve their offensive line, and Asamoah would bring the athleticism, strength and competitiveness to start as a rookie.
15. New York Jets: Cameron Heyward*, DE, Ohio State
The Jets’ defensive line lacks youth and depth, and Heyward would bring the size, strength and athleticism to fit perfectly as an end in New York’s 3-4 scheme.
16. Arizona Cardinals: Rob Gronkowski*, TE, Arizona
The Cardinals have a lot of talent at receiver, but adding an impact tight end could turn the offense from very good to elite. Gronkowski could be a top receiver and very good blocker.

And, we out of all out positions on Defense, Safety is what we need the LEAST.
November 5th, 2009 at 4:21 am
I agree. Put in another QB. Not necessarily a permanent benching of Russel, but a chance to see how things run with someone else at the helm. Also, I think a game or 2 on the bench might help Russell in the long-run.

Morning Nation!! Thanks for the article 4eva!
Can’t see the Raiders taking Mays there. His play has really dropped off of late, not that would really matter to the Raiders I guess, but I think Mays is going to slip to the mid to late first-round.
Berry to CB?? Makes no sense. And Browns to take another OT? They have scored like 4 offensive TD’s in the last 13 games going back to last year and are last in team D this year. OT is the last thing they need!!
Give us Spikes!!!! “Tremendously instinctive” is everything we need, high Football IQ. Our guys aren’t instinctive, they are reactive.

Mays is a classic pick 4 any team imo, and instead of Big Al having patience and wait 4 a killer S like Mays 2 show up he drafts lots of DB’s high.Now we have FAR RREATER NEEDS and Mays is on the scene and ya just KNOW Big Al is jizzing all-over himself.
Man this shizzzitt just kills me
November 5th, 2009 at 6:50 am
Russell is the main weakness on this team. He is not merely bad, he is real bad. He would not crack the starting lineup for an NFL Europe team. He simply is not a pro- level player. It happens (See Gary Beban, Ryan Leaf, etc….) I wish people would quit making excuses for him, even his agent knew he didn’t have what it takes, hence the holdout for the “guaranteed” portion of the contract. Only big Al failed to see it. This is actually his third season, Sanchez is in his first, Ryan and Flacco their second,… well, you get the picture. The question is, how long are the Raiders going to be forced to endure Russell’s incompetence because of $$$ and pride? We have to go a different direction at QB, this season is lost (again)! Time to bring a veteran QB in or perhaps give Gradkowski a shot. Russell should be placed on waivers.
November 5th, 2009 at 7:00 am
I dunno Dirt-Lot
the way our defence is getting man-handled I think we should go MLB,DE,RG,LB,LB,FB,RT…
Move Seymore 2 DT…Shaunessy 2 DE where he played at O St.,Let Bryant start at other DT,the kid is bull-strong and quick,he is a play dirupter something Sands or KellY dont get.
November 5th, 2009 at 7:02 am
Funny thing is that wasn’t there a rumor that Mays decided to stay in school because he feared that he would be drafted by the Raiders?

So I had a weird dream last night, for some reason I dreamt that Frye became a star player for the Raiders but we were playing the spread offense and wild cat with Bush not Mcfumble, I can’t remember who we played but we wore the white n silver jersy that we wore against the SD at home, man like that Jersey. Anyways do u guys think Frye could resurrect his career if given the chance, he could be the next Alex Smith.
Man those jersies are only available with Seymour n Jabust. Wish they had one with Asmough number on it.

Let Ja-off-the-mark-us play from the shotgun like he did in college. He does not have the agility to drop back and see the field at the same time. Works for Brady…
=======================================================
And throw the ball to who? Route running on this team is atrocious. Plus the shotgun is terrible for running the football.
The coaches DID NOT get these kids ready to play. They ran a “Club Med” training camp and OTA session. Cable admits to not having them practice a play till they get it right. The team makes basic mental mistakes that should have been ironed out during Club MEd.
Because Davis is a players owner/coach…everything they do is probably on the softer side.
Moving the QB to shotgun isn’t going to fix this mess
###########################################
He can throw to Miller or Chaz. Or the RB’s. Or Higgins in the slot… What we are doing is clearly not working. He’ll have more time to see things develop.
November 5th, 2009 at 9:17 am
with the anointed in training camp O-line starters for the first two games of this season the Oakland Raiders resembled a football team. Now that Satele has learned and earned his way into the blocking scheme, plus the returns of Gallery and Mop Handle, I’d guess we’ll be seeing the re-appearance of a football team in Oaktown.
November 5th, 2009 at 9:26 am
Yes ladies and gentlemen it is all that simple. Good play from the O-line is all a team really needs to adequately perform on the football field on a weekly basis.
November 5th, 2009 at 9:33 am
yep a ball-control offence and a good defence and you can go a long way

This is the difference between the Giants & Raiders, ok?
—————————-
Free Agency in the NFL started in 1989 with Plan B. It marked a new way of operation for NFL teams.
In the 20 Seasons since the implementation of Free Agency and the Modern Era, some teams have adjusted, some have not. The following is the number of winning seasons by team since 1989:
Pittsburg 15
Miami 14
Green Bay 14
New England 13
Philadelphia 13
San Francisco 12
Minnesota 12
Kansas City 12
Indianapolis 12
Denver 12
Dallas 12
Tennessee 11
New York Giants 10
Buffalo 9
Seattle 8
Tampa Bay 8
San Diego 8
New York Jets 8
Chicago 8
Washington 8
Oakland 6
Atlanta 6
New Orleans 6
St Louis 5
Detroit 5
Cleveland 4
Cincinnati 2
Jacksonville’s been in the League since 1995, 7 winning seasons.
Carolina been in the League since 1995, 4 winning seasons.
Baltimore’s been in the League since 1996, 6 winning seasons.
Houston’s been in the League since 2002, 0 winning seasons.

I think we need to take a page out od the 49er book. I thought this before Alex came back though.
The Raider need to bench Jruss. The need to strip him from his starting position. They need to let Grad or Fry start. They should also start next season with Jruss second string. Make him run the scout team. If he becomes consistant with running the scout team, maybe he can be a starter again. If he can’t run a scout team, get rid of him.

The Raiders not having a running games falls squarely on the shoulders of our coaching staff. We should not start off throwing the ball on 1 and 2 down. We should have also installed the wildcat. You take the ball out of Jruss’ hands and you have a better shot at success.
November 5th, 2009 at 10:55 am
