Davis would like Ryan’s assessment of Russell
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 7:07 am in Oakland Raiders.
Former Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Ryan would love a second chance to interview for the Raiders head coaching job with Al Davis, according to the USA Today.
Ryan was careful not burn any bridges with the Raiders after moving on to Cleveland to be the defensive coordinator for Eric Mangini, speaking glowingly of Al Davis in the days leading up to the Browns-Raiders game in Week 16.
He also gave a review of JaMarcus Russell that might appeal to Davis.
“The backup QB (Russell) is the one I thought would be a superstar by now,” Ryan said. “He had that 77 rating his rookie year. I’m a little surprised he hasn’t become the superstar. I’m kind of hoping he doesn’t get in the game. That kid can throw it through a storm. I think the young man’s a good kid.”

will the next Raider HC (or Cable) accept the staff, including Randy Hanson ???
I’m wondering if Hanson will fill a bigger role now since Willie Brown has retired. you know Hanson is involved in the same 2 fields. scouting & DB’s
I don’t think he could handle being director of squad development though. That job goes to Danny Southwick
January 15th, 2010 at 7:09 am
whats next for Lane?
he’ll leave USC next year and take the Chargers HC job?
January 15th, 2010 at 7:11 am
Please…….please not Rob Ryan.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:12 am
GIVE R.R. ONE THING,HE KNOW’S WICH BUTTEN’S TO PUSH WITH AL..
January 15th, 2010 at 7:16 am
Rob is not his brother. I appreciate him but what his brother has done and what he has done is night and day. Drama all the time with this team. Need to give Al his man shots.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:17 am
GO TO HELL ROB RYAN!
January 15th, 2010 at 7:18 am
RR
How u been?
January 15th, 2010 at 7:19 am
Dakota,
How’s life and ur sitcoms going? I hope all is well.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:19 am
Funny though…the D loved him!
January 15th, 2010 at 7:22 am
Most Germans loved Hitler too!!
January 15th, 2010 at 7:24 am
Rob Ryan?? That is a laugh. He was a hack at best as a defence coach. His only claim to fame is that his dad is Buddy Ryan. And to top all that off he thinks Russell could be a SUPERSTAR!!! The only superstar in Russells future is one he picks up at Carl’s Jr and stuffs in his face. Ryan gets hired back and I let my season tickets go.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:27 am
Hmmmmm…….could Hitler have been a nfl coach ?
No,I don’t think so.Golf was his game…..could get out of a bunker with one shot.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:28 am
Damn no luv from the OG’s… Been gone too long.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:33 am
Rob Ryan would be entertaining and a personality fit at least, but he’s GOT TO LEAVE THE PREVENT DEFENSE AT HOME. How many times over the years did his defense play well enough and then blow the lead in the 4th quarter because RR was playing prevent with 10 minutes left. Also, how about blitzing? Rex’s Jets blitzed more than any team in the NFL this year. Rob never blitzed in Oakland.
If we open the season with a game where JaMarcus is 9-for-27 with 3 turnovers and we have a 9-3 lead with 5 minutes, then Rob Ryan goes prevent D and the other team scores in about 5 plays, I think fans would burn the Coliseum to the ground.
Also, WTF is this quote about JaMarcus:
“I’m a little surprised he hasn’t become the superstar. I’m kind of hoping he doesn’t get in the game.”
Who are you kidding, dude. Every team in the league feasted on JaMarcus this season. If Rob Ryan plans to come in and just hand the keys back to that bum he can go to hell. If he figures he’ll just say the right things to get the job and then eventually pull the plug on JaMarcus again, well OK.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:35 am
Rob didn’t get the keys before he won’t get them now.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:42 am
On second read …
I suppose we should slow down the Rob Ryan express for a minute. Not saying it couldn’t happen, but I think I mis-read the headline to this blog entry.
At first I thought “Davis would like Ryan’s assessment of Russell” meant that Al Davis had requested Rob Ryan to do a formal coaching assessment of JaMarcus Russell. Now I realize it just means that Jerry thinks Al Davis would enjoy Rob Ryan’s comments in praise of JaMarcus.
Rob Ryan is clearly bucking for the job, but there’s no indication of interest on Al’s part … at least not yet anyway. Here’s the key quote:
“Hell, yeah, I’d have interest,” Ryan told USA Today. “I haven’t talked to Mr. Davis because he has a coach. Let’s see what happens.”
I think Cable probably returns, but you never know.

January 15th, 2010 at 7:46 am
Yeah. One of the worst defensive coaches ever. Total kiss @ss. And he loves Jafatso? 31st in the nfl in rushing Das a coach? What a tick.

JaMarcus seen leaving a utility closet and exiting the Raiders facility with powdered sugar all over his face and a giant raspberry jelly stain on his mink.

Did someone leave them in the same room as JaMarcus ?
January 15th, 2010 at 7:51 am
I think you’re right Chris in NY. This is just writers looking for a story we would read and freak out on. Like watching Fox.
January 15th, 2010 at 7:54 am
well dakota,
you wanted a new hc so badly you now get Rob Ryan. This is going to be funny as hell if he gets the job. congrats bro.

this post today by ebyner on the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Browns blog about Rob Ryan nails it:
Love his fire, love his brass, but statistically, he just presided over one of the worst defenses of the last decade. You are what you are. End of story.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:10 am
hey El Dirty!
welcome back brother
sorry man I couldn’t respond sooner. i got called into a meeting
January 15th, 2010 at 8:11 am
Al will hire Rob just to try to show up Lane.
Rockstar, didn’t you say watch out for Robo as a HC candidate awile back?
January 15th, 2010 at 8:12 am
I think if Rob had really good coordinators calling the plays — including when it’s OK to go into a Prevent D — he actually could make a great coach. If he was there as just a motivator to get players fired up and as the guy giving zany, expletive-filled updates to the media. Don’t have much faith in him having a big role in the Xs and Os though.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:15 am
I’m kind of hoping he doesn’t get in the game. That kid can throw it through a storm.
Rob Ryan
***
If JaWalrus was in the game we would have lost by more than 2 TD’s! It would have been a 38-0 pounding like the Jets gave us in Week 7
at least Frye passed for over 325 yards and completed over 50 percent of his passes. Russell would have the 3 turnovers plus he’d go 11/24, 130 yards. sacked 6-7 times (instead of 4)
January 15th, 2010 at 8:18 am
didn’t you say watch out for Robo as a HC candidate awile back?
***
Vegas, yes I did sir. thank you for noticing
I said that out of fear, really. Just seems like a typical Al Davis move. what would be a disaster for this team? hire Rob Ryan as Head Coach!
then draft a DB in Round 1 and BAM! 10-6 next year …
January 15th, 2010 at 8:19 am
I’d be pretty surprised at this point if Cable isn’t back. Why have a 2-day meeting with a guy you’re going to can? I know, I know “it’s the Raiders” and all. But I don’t buy it. Like it or not Cable will probably return.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:20 am
Hey, Rob Ryan, by superstar do you mean performing at the same mediocre quality as your defense did when you were with the Raiders? Go away.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:28 am
Firing a guy on a Friday, the Bob’s said it was the way to go in Office Space.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:30 am
RR, really 10-6? A two day meeting more then likely means we’re working out some issue’s. I think AL is telling Cable that we need help in certain areas and are looking for Coaching Candidates!
January 15th, 2010 at 8:31 am
Vegas,..um,..didnt you pull that line out yesterday?
January 15th, 2010 at 8:32 am
First off Al Davis dznt hire defensive minded head coaches.
Secondly he has had MANY opportunities to make RR the head coach and has passed on him each time. Why would he have a sudden change of heart?
Rob Ryan is a buffoon who has done nothing to deserve even an interview for a NFL head job. Hmmm… now that I think about it, seems about like the type of guy Al Davis prefers so who knows……..
January 15th, 2010 at 8:33 am
I did, just wanted to make sure your awake Norco.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:34 am
at least Cable realizes that Russell is a bust, even if he won’t directly say so to the media.
another HC might not have that authority or trust from Al Davis to pull the plug on his prized #1 overall draft pick.
but will Davis really pay Russell $9 million or whatever in his 4th season to sit on the bench for 16 games ???
my guess = not if the team is winning.
Like Vince Young in TN, if we start the season 0-6 Russell is going to play regardless if Cable wants him in there or not. And if he plays well when he’s finally inserted into the lineup it will DEFINATELY cost Cable his job next offseason. Cable isn’t Fisher. He’s done nothing to earn this job or keep it IMO.

January 15th, 2010 at 8:36 am
Hey if we are 0-6 without Russell, than by all means he should play.
But that was not the case this year. The team was clearly better when he didn’t play, passing yards went up, sacks and turnovers were way down, and we won a few games.
Russell sucks.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:37 am
RR, really 10-6?

I was being sarcastic ray. sorry if it didn’t come across that way …
If I thought Rob Ryan at HC & another 1st round DB would make us a legit playoff contender i’d need to have my head examined!
I probably do anyways. LOL
January 15th, 2010 at 8:38 am
Rob Ryan only ever saw Jameatball in practice against his own Defense, even BRL looks good against a Robo D
January 15th, 2010 at 8:38 am
Well if Ryan is putting his two cents in there must be some fire in that smoke. Al Davis is completely insane, I don’t think he can help himself. Really think he would cut off his toes to spite his foot.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:38 am
no no no no no no no no no
January 15th, 2010 at 8:39 am
Dakota,
You know as well as anyone on here that so long as Al is around we aint getting any legit coaches. Sorry but I dont consider Lame Kitten to be a legit coach. Gruden was a nobody until he proved it with us. If he fires Cable, then it’ll be some unknown guy or a retread. I actually thought al was going to hire Norm Chow so that he can claim to be the first owner to hire an Asian dude. I do get a good laugh at everyone who wanted Cable fired….only to see Rob Ryan the prodigal son returns….
January 15th, 2010 at 8:39 am
Hey now Vegas, ease up. I am sure Jamarcus is at this very moment at the Raiders facility working his ass off training, throwing and studying game tape. Give the kid a break.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:39 am
Tough cases require the jury be sequestered until they can agree upon a conclusion.
However this case is open and shut.
Fire Cable….
January 15th, 2010 at 8:40 am
You guys dont like Russell?…think he blows do ya?…well then take 2010 off, because he will be under center, all year…my take is he will go,..2-14.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:42 am
AIG,
I already lowered my expectations on our HC to guys like D. Green, Jim Fassel, Brian Billick etc…but ROB FUKIN RYAN?
Thank god this is nothing more than Ryan asking for the job at this point. Hopefully Al ignores him as we all know he should.

LOL! so true
Ryan’s defense in Cleveland looked pretty solid the last 4 games of the season. Granted the only team they beat with a winning record was 9-7 Pittsburgh, but the Stealers rode a 4 game losing streak into that game.
Holmgren is making a mistake retaining Mangini & Co
I doubt they finish with more than 6 wins next year
January 15th, 2010 at 8:43 am
I gotta give bob props… He was calling BRL a bust out the gates…..I say 5-11 at best no matter who we have as HC….
January 15th, 2010 at 8:44 am
If Jamarshmallow is the QB next year look for me at the top of the Collesium with a sniper rifle… Boom… problem solved…

another offseason, more coaching rumors. LOL
you guys know Al is waiting to interview a coach from the team that wins the Super Bowl.
probably their offensive quality control guy!
January 15th, 2010 at 8:47 am
Everyone knew Russell would be the worst draft pick in NFL history,..well one person didnt know it.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:48 am
Vegas,
Come on now bro. You just KNOW the kid has been working nonstop since the season ended to try and improve himself. He has probably hired a trainer and got in touch with a QB guru/coach to help with his mechanics and fundys. He has PROVEN that he is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:50 am
RR, Things are excellent… Hope we are not going to see BRL pushed down as our QB….
No one likes BRL…. I still like martz as oco…
January 15th, 2010 at 8:51 am

Well he might be ok. I doubt he calls the defense, he’d have a coordinator. No way a head coach tries to wear all those hats.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:58 am
HC Frazier??? Like Frazier Craine from the TV show? Must be who your talking about cause no way you could actually believe Leslie Frazier would take the job.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:59 am
Yeah, looks like Cable is coming back, if that’s the case, these these would be my first two thoughts:
- Trade for Vick, Gradkowski showed that a mobile QB can can make this offense better, Vick is better than Gradkowski who should be kept as his backup.
- Draft a couple of OL, I don’t give a crap if Cable doesn’t think they fit his style, Al you draft them and tell Cable to make them fit.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:59 am
B) A serious talk about how to resurrect Russell as a prospect, and a plan of attack of how to get it accomplished. No talk of a change.
This is an impossible task. I would take jeff george
over BRL….

January 15th, 2010 at 9:03 am
As you all know, I attend every game,..and I have no prob with Russell starting every game in 2010, he will of course,..the coliseum will be rockin in 2010, watching Russell play about as bad as a qb can, train wreck football…better then boring football if you ask me,…and the boo`s will be incredible, watching Russell being trotted out every game will be must see football.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:03 am
Craine would probably make a better HC than cable…
Cable should be fired for cause…Impersonating an OCO, than admitting that he was outmanned and outmatched….
January 15th, 2010 at 9:05 am
Rob!!!
Is this a joke!?!?!?
The guy can’t coach ONE unit of the team (Defense)!!!
He may be worse than Cable if that’s even possible!
Fire Cable!!!
Hire Harbaugh!!
January 15th, 2010 at 9:06 am
“IF” BRL is under center 2010 will be a waste, and a huge loss in profits….
BRL = total black out of the 2010 season…
January 15th, 2010 at 9:07 am
RR,
LMAO @ 76
January 15th, 2010 at 9:07 am
Cable did, he was the HC, and OCO as he called all the plays, then admitted he was in over his head…..
I am for continuity but he should be run…
January 15th, 2010 at 9:09 am
Thec,..blackouts dont bother me at all,..I actually love them…I love reading all the losers in here asking each other what website there is to watch the game…lol.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:10 am
Give Harbaug control of the 53 man roster and a good contract, and he will be our next HC.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:10 am
Blackouts = lost revenue…. Bad for the team, bad for business…. this team needs help…
January 15th, 2010 at 9:12 am
Blackouts = funny as hell,…and Davis doesnt give one crap about them either,..or billboards….keep whining.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:12 am
I think I agree with Pete on the HC having NFL experience. I’d take that one step further and say we need a guy with NFL HC experience.
Brian Billick or Fassell!
January 15th, 2010 at 9:12 am
Bob, brian said that you got to meet MR. Davis, how was that???
January 15th, 2010 at 9:13 am
You guys dont like Russell?…think he blows do ya?…well then take 2010 off, because he will be under center, all year…my take is he will go,..2-14.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With Jwhale under center 2 and 14 is a streach. I say we just cut the Ryan Leaf want-a-be. Hell, come to think about it Leaf had a career rating of 50.0 . Russell’s rating was 50.0 last season.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:13 am
I’m sick of promoting asst. coaches to on the job training. Al thinks he’s always going to find a diamond in the ruff, and he’s cheap as it get’s when paying coaches. We need a proven head coach…
You pay for what you get. Open up your checkbook or keep what you have now.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:14 am
Do the same with John G, and he will be back too.
Hire Harbaugh, Gruden, Del Rio, or Fassel.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:14 am

January 15th, 2010 at 9:16 am

I think Del Rio is staying in Jax & Gruden is staying in the booth
more like Fassel, Gilbride, Moss & Ryan as realistic HC options if Cable is not retained

January 15th, 2010 at 9:19 am
Had too much Patron, last game of the year most us fans go a little overboard in the WSC,..all good though, I remember some of it.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:20 am
Also, if we keep Cable and he remains as the play-caller, we should hire Hue Jackson or David Shaw as OC-QB coach, it’s obvious a guy like Hackett won’t be able to help Russell, Hackett is old school, he’s used to have hard-working guys like Montana, Gannon and Pennington…Hackett probably lost interest as soon as he realized Russell’s heart wasn’t in it.
Jackson and Shaw are younger guys who may be able to relate to Russell and get something out of him before it’s too late, I’m not even sure if it can be done but you have to give it one more shot, treat JaMarcus as a rookie, make him third string and start all over again.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:21 am
Guys, give Cable a chance already. He had nothing to work with last season. Trying to win with Jwhale under center just don’t work. Cable could only work with a few plays for the O because thats all Jwhale knew and even those few he could not execute. It’s like putting lipstick on a pig, its still a pig. Lets get a good QB under center, address the O and D problems and see if we can win some games.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:21 am
cant do it…
January 15th, 2010 at 9:23 am
Bob,
If Hackett can’t help Jaskittle, I don’t think anyone else can.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:23 am
Rob Ryan? haha. Only if Davis wants to hear echos during home games. Is there anyone out there that would be excited about having this clown as head coach?
January 15th, 2010 at 9:23 am
Bob, was it in passing or were you guys kicking it?
January 15th, 2010 at 9:24 am
RR,
I would like to see what Moss can do. If not him, then Fassel or Gilbeide.
No Ryan!!
January 15th, 2010 at 9:26 am
Russell’s a lost cause. better to cut and run.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:26 am

January 15th, 2010 at 9:29 am
Head Coach Rob Ryan. The last idiotic decision made by a once great mind that has been ravaged by time, Alzheimer’s and syphilis. Can you see the tunnel Al? Don’t resist. Go into it.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:32 am
My guess is this,..Cable will be told, today, that if he wants to remain coach, he has to play russell, and win with him,…period…Tom will say yes,…when team starts 1-7, Toms canned, Russell will keep starting,..team will continue to hate Russell as they do today,..but none of that will matter. Hey, reality sucks sometimes.
January 15th, 2010 at 9:32 am
Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has made it known that he’d be interested in the Raiders’ head coaching job should Tom Cable get fired in the next week.
“Hell, yeah, I’d have interest,” Ryan said. “I will be a head coach in this league, and I will be damn successful, too.”

eres reality for all of you that arent into it,..Russell will start in 2010,..and wil lstart every game,…and not just because of the money, if you catch my drift.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That would be a fanbase death nail. What if Al loses enough fans paying for season tickets, you think the NFL would let him move the team back to LA/ No way that would happen.

If Russell starts next season I say all of us season ticket holders get together and sue Al Davis for breach of contract. After all we agreed to buy tickers to see a NFL caliber team. And with Jwhale under center they are NOT a NFL caliber team.

Bring back Rob Ryan & Turdell Sands. Play Jamarcus in 5 step drops and Run DMAC down the middle. Play man 2 man, have Morrison cover the other team’s #1 wr running down the middle and drop back Gerard Warren to play center field safety like Ed Reed…sounds good to Al.

Well he might be ok. I doubt he calls the defense, he’d have a coordinator. No way a head coach tries to wear all those hats.
—————————–
You mean like Tom Cable tried??? Yeah, I think all the teams who didn’t have both coordinators in place (Offensive & Defensive) suffered badly where a coordinator was missing.
January 15th, 2010 at 10:11 am
agree on Stabler, he played on the best NFL team ever the 76′ raiders…. He is my all time favorite QB, and player….
January 15th, 2010 at 10:12 am
I gotta admit. Losing would be more entertaining with Rob Ryan as the coach. The press conferences would at least be a laugh. I mean, if we’re gonna be the joke of the league and start Jamarcus, at least we can have some real humor thrown in there.
January 15th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Of course, if we’re going to actually try to win and play the best players and bring in an Offensive coordinator here….well…..I’ll be happy to have Rob in Cleveland.
January 15th, 2010 at 10:14 am
what happened to this team being about winning games???
January 15th, 2010 at 10:15 am
Tim Brown: “When you look at JaMarcus, you know, the Raiders sort of called me unofficially before they drafted him and they asked me what did I think? And I told them then that I didn’t think this guy was a player. I thought it would take three to four years before he developed because I was at that LSU-Notre Dame game and I watched this guy intently warming up and throwing balls before the game and during the game and what I saw was not an NFL quarterback. It was a sandlot player, a guy who can go back there, pat the ball five times and then throw it with that velocity he has in his arm. But, Rich, you know better than me, you don’t have five pats in the NFL. You’ve got about a pat and a half and then somebody’s about to take your head off. And when he tried to throw the ball on time it came out like a rocket.
January 15th, 2010 at 10:16 am
“So I thought it would take significant time for this guy to develop how to drop back and throw the ball, a catchable ball that a receiver could maneuver and go on with. So I’m not surprised what has happened with him. You throw in the fact that, from what I hear, he doesn’t have the great work ethic that every quarterback has to have, that’s going to equal failure in the NFL any day of the week.”

I think if Rob had really good coordinators calling the plays — including when it’s OK to go into a Prevent D — he actually could make a great coach. If he was there as just a motivator to get players fired up and as the guy giving zany, expletive-filled updates to the media. Don’t have much faith in him having a big role in the Xs and Os though.
=====
I totally agree. We have to face reality. Anyone that coaches this team has to be an Al yes man. RR is definitely that. And I think he is well suited to play the role of FHC (figure-head coach) in terms of setting the right culture, media relations, and buffer between Al and team. Ideally, if appointed HC he’ll be too busy with those things to get involved in Xs and Os, so he’ll have to rely on his coordinators (hopefully keeping Marshall) and stay way form the parts of the game that are more challenging to him.
Plus, it just might (fingers crossed) help to have defensive minded HC to persuade Al to use a top pick on the other side of the ball for once.
January 15th, 2010 at 10:20 am

i wouldn’t allow myself to be the buffer between me and Al Davis…
i would process film on mondays… break out clips of player screw-ups…
then send the film, a projector, a guy who knows how to run it… and the player up to Al’s office for review on tuesdays…
hey… if the player is good enough for Al… and Al insists he should be playing… let Al talk to him…

Ryan’s assessment of Russell
I did it, found out where he was staying bugged the room and got the asessment. This should save Al some time and money:
“Yea hey wow Russ can really chuck that ball. He’s a baller man. Whoa not sure why he can get it all out. He’s a star man. Needs right coachin. I can turn him into a star a mean he can chuck that sucker 70 yards on his knees. If only Al would hire me at HC: I could make Jamark a superstar and stop the run and we would win the su by at least 4 touchdowns”
Give me a break Jerry!!!
January 15th, 2010 at 10:45 am
On the word of Rob Ryan, Al Davis signed T. Kelly to a huge deal.

January 15th, 2010 at 10:52 am
Jerry
If your post is true the Raiders are in BIG TROUBLE! Al sould just get Priest and some others together and talk about the greatness of Jamarcus. I mean the only problems out of his control. He had bad coaching, a bad line, bad WRs, bad fans, bad weather, and bad karma. He really is the next John Elway in disguise.
The reality is this guy can not focus for some reason and could not do the basics such as throw a dump swing pass accurately or throw a simple dart over the middle in timing. He even stumbles when dropping back.
What should be done is hold this guy accountable and make him compete and not give him anything special simply because he is the number one pick overall.

Not to be comparing anyone, but i think it could be like when we got Madden. A defensive mind where the players would be free to be themselves. As long as they come to work when it’s time. Pay attention in meetings, nice crisp practice, and then you can play after. Madden was kind of the same way, play is ok but when it’s time to get serious, lets get the sh!t done.

January 15th, 2010 at 11:01 am
Very instructive press conference in Seattle
I live in the NW so there was wall to wall coverage of Carroll taking the job for the Seahawks. One thing he said was very interesting. He made a strong point of having the trust of the owners and the latitude to put in place his system, his people (including his GM) and the latitude to make any coaching and roster moves. I mean its his baby. Is that not what AD had in the late 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s as a GM and did not the Raiders flourish – even though he took over ownership. As he got older and needed help he has refused to truely delegate and he generally does not value coaching. What AD needs to do is find someone that has the energy to really excell and give him that kind of latitude to make the moves needed. His meddling will scare away any decent football person. He needs to learn how to delegate.

What about the notion that Al Davis wouldn’t let RobO coach, he wouldn’t let him blitz? If Al Davis is the meddler that all you idiots in here profess him to be then why do all these coachs want to come back here. Why does all the coaches that everyone says would never come here want to come here? Mariucci Billick, Ryan, Gruden and several others. I thought NO ONE would want to come here. Even people you said that he wouldn’t let them call their plays he ran Ryan’s defense. Why does he want to come back?
Maybe because you jerks don’t know what you’re talking about. Could it be!??!

Warren Sapp had this to say about Cable:
“Tom Cable don’t even know that the defensive lineman knows his protection when he goes into a ballgame,” Sapp said. “I was standing in front of the man, he tells me to rush his offensive line. I said, ‘Okay, what set are you coming out in?’ He looks at me and says, ‘What? No, I just want you to rush.’”
“I said, ‘Let me understand this. You’re gonna break the huddle, you come out into a formation. It’ll be two receivers, three receivers, whatever you want to do. But there’s some way you have to protect. And I would know that, 90% of the time. He looked at me like I was speaking Chinese.”
January 15th, 2010 at 11:05 am
Hmmm I don’t know, could it be that Rob Ryan understands that his ONLY SHOT to ever become an NFL HC is on this sinking ship?
January 15th, 2010 at 11:08 am

Priest
Ryan would come back here because he can’t get a head coaching job anywhere else. That is why Kiffin came here. Coaches like Bill Cower or even his coordinator at the time Wisenhunt who now coaches at Arizona would not come here! Even a college offensive coordinator Skaresin would not come here.
The only way a high quality coach would come here is if Al paid him properly, gave him the reins in contract and appeared to have a change of heart in approach. All of which I hope for but I am not holding my breath.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:11 am
Good post priesttj,
We all have fallen into this believing what the media says. It sucks that have been losing, it sucks that we keep changing coaches, and it sucks that we get draft picks wrong in the 1st round. But it’s a crap shoot in the draft, who here didnt want Gallery? Who here called the Nnamdi pick great? who here moaned when we drafted Mike Mitchell?. The point is if Al listened to everybody else we would have never gotten Nnamdi. Now we have this Revis kid for the Jets and we start dogging Nnamdi for not covering the best WR’s. Whats better having a Defense focus on 1 side of the field where you could roll your coverage to, or having the field open just not to your main target. When most teams have more then 1 weapon.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:11 am

———————–
1) I’m not all that high on Cable staying, although we could do worse.
2) I don’t believe a word Sapp says.
3) Is Sapp speaking Chinese here? “But there’s some way you have to protect. And I would know that, 90% of the time.” Of course there’s some way they have to protect. What are you saying? You, as a member of the team, would know what the protection was going to be 90% of the time? That there should be a specific protection set up by the coach 90% of the time? What about the other 10%? And why would it matter so much for a DT whether the offense has 2 or 3 WRs? Maybe Cable just wanted you to shut your big mouth for 5 seconds to work on fundamentals with an o-lineman. I don’t know. All I know is this: Sapp is a jagoff.

January 15th, 2010 at 11:21 am
This is not fantasy football where when you lose thats it season over, until next year. This is real life with real people, with accountability. Al spent like a wild man and it failed, then he tried the humble approach by giving Cable the job and allowing him to bench his toy in Jmac. What will he do next, we Lombardi as a GM and he failed at his job, why would Al trust another. I agree his people and personal a$$ kissers need to go.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:21 am
Rob Ryan would be better than Cable because he would do exactly what the senile old man wants? I think not dude. Cable may not be the best coach in the world but at least he is changing the culture… at least he is getting “team” guys in there instead of “me” guys. We all (INCLUDING CABLE) agree that he spread himself too thin and needs an OC… no question, but do we really need ANOTHER coach to come in for 18-24 games and get fired? Not so much…
January 15th, 2010 at 11:22 am

January 15th, 2010 at 11:25 am
By the way I think Marshall was a much better DC than Ryan was and did well with incorporating people in at the last minute as well as working with all kinds of patchwork with injuries and with a terrible offense until Gradokowski came in.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:26 am
Cable admitting he fcked up, he needs to be held accountable for that. When did he figure out he was cutting it thin? after the last game? then he is just as bad as Russell not taking blame for his misscues.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:28 am
I dont care if Al hires freakin Pappa Smurf as long as Cable is gone. Refusing to play the best player in Bush cause he held some Vendetta against him is bull sh!t. He allowed his personal problems to affect his coaching.

We need a Proven HC, not a coordinator trying to use Al as a stepping stone for another HC job.
If we get a puppet coach again, they will be forced to announce it will be an open qb battle preseason, but in reality Jamarcus is in for the opener cause that’s Al’s baby.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:31 am
…and IF he didnt play Bush because of a vendetta, then why didnt Bush sit the whole year? Maybe he knew Bush wasnt in good enough shape to carry the ball 20-25x a game for a whole 16 games season? I dont know I dont work for the team… but your opinion that he sat Bush because of personal reason seems pretty thin to me.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:32 am
Cause he was healthy all year, by far our best back, and cause Bush was pledging for Gillbride last season. He said he admired what Gillbride did for the Giants and there RB’s and would like to see him coaching the Raiders.

Until the Raiders change the way things are done. We will not attract anyone of note to coach this team.

Again that is simply your opinion dude… you have no proof. I have MORE proof that Bush was not in good enough shape to be the everydown back… I like Bush, I think he is a good RB, amd deserves a shot, but I simply dont agree with your opinion.

Real coaches are made by being assistants first.
So a real coach would be a person with coaching experience is what you mean?
Well Fassel is a real coach, and Harbaugh is not so how do we pick? whats a real coach?
January 15th, 2010 at 11:37 am
I think Cable started off with the players Al made him play and as the season went on he started to weed them out when he could. He circumvented the law of AL the best way he could. You may say he was a puppet, but you know if he refused to play those guys right from the get go he would have been fired as of week 1…
January 15th, 2010 at 11:37 am
No coach last year would of had a chance w/ Jaskittle at QB! NO COACH!

January 15th, 2010 at 11:40 am
He gave this group of underachievers a whole week off of training. To do his little back to basics routine, how did that work out? missed tackles, wrong angles, false starts, injured players.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:40 am
I didnt disagree with Bush saying he wanted Gilbride, just your opinion that Cable sat Bush because he didnt like him…

He tried a different road with a team that CLEARLY has a problem with football fundamentals… it didnt work out as expected, but at the same time it didnt hinder the team. We were MUCH better in the penalty department this year, with the exception of a few games.

Cable is only courageous against women and assistant coaches that look like crack addicts. My 15 year old son could whip his ass.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:45 am
OMG….if Ryan is hired to try and resurrect Russell??
The team will win 3 games next season if that happens.
If the old man can’t get a REAL head coach like Gruden, Harbaugh, Garrett or Mooch, then why bother hiring another head coach??
Just keep Cable and hire a offensive coordinator who can call the plays and knows what he doing and knows how to mix it up and get the play makers the ball and get the power running game going again.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:46 am
So your saying, if you saw Jmac come in out of shape. You would give him a week off? he failed and he needs to go. Jmac is another problem that will be delt with before the start of the season when there will be no hit if they release him then not now.

Maybe Michael Bush is on hand to give Cable his walking papers.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:48 am
What is a real coach?
Harbaugh only in college hasnt really done much.
Gruden got fired from Tampa after we spanked him. In a season when Bush saved Cables a$$ that year by running hard the last 2 games. Garret hasnt done a thing as “a real coach”. Mooch failed so bad in Detroit with his friend as GM. so whats a real coach in your opinion?

Here is something to think about
At the end of the year the Raiders were playing hard and played against the Ravens strong. Cable seems to have a vision and a plan for DHB and others to get them better for next year. I think the defense played well but did have breakdowns. Several analysts agree with me that Raiders would have likely been 6-6 after 12 games if JR was benched after his poor showing the the Preseason.
In light of having to play JR despite his ineptidue as well as dealing with a lot of injuries on a thin offensive line (we should have drafted a lineman not a WR however I did like DHB better than Crabtree). I think Cable was ok. Was he Tony Dungy? No, but like others have said the Raiders could do a lot worse. Can the Raiders do better? Doubtful until they change their MO.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:51 am
Im not saying Cable is the guy who is gonna lead us to the promised land, but firing him for another stooge to come in makes no sense. The constant revolving door of coaches is doing nothing to improve this team. Argue me with any statement you want but you know Im right… so why fire Cable when we ALL KNOW he aint the problem.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:52 am
Clubbing Baby Seals –
Federal laws in Canada give a sealer three ways to hunt his prey. He can shoot a seal with a rifle or shotgun—provided it’s above a minimum caliber or gauge; he can break its head with a blunt club (like a baseball bat) that must be at least 2 feet long; or he can smash in its brains with something called a hakapik—a 4- or 5-foot wooden pole with a bent, metal spike affixed to the end.

Is Tom Cable going to take JaWalrus on a cruise to Canada this offseason?
January 15th, 2010 at 11:53 am
We put in a statue at QB with an offensive line that cant protect. Gradkowski would have been hurt by week 2, so i dont think the record would have been better. Unless your saying Gradkowski would have been healthy the whole season (doubtful).
January 15th, 2010 at 11:54 am
I’m not a Cable lover, bot com’on look at the other realistic options. Gilbride? Ryan? Mooch? Fassell? Any coach would had failed w/ Jaskittle at QB.

was Bruce injury prone at Toledo, Tampa, St Louis or Cleveland ???
January 15th, 2010 at 11:55 am
I think that Gradkowski and Frye between the two of them would have been healthy if they started from the beginning. Maybe they go back and forth and Russell gets a little playing time, but I do agree that if we sat Russell after seeing how he played before Pre-Season and in Pre-season Games we would’ve been a 7-9 or 8-8 team. Maybe even a bit better with momentum at the beginning from a couple wins in a row (which we could’ve easily done in SD and then KC and onwards).
January 15th, 2010 at 11:55 am
It’s not arguing, i dont argue so we dissagree no biggie. Thats what this blog is for to hear different opinions. I still think Cable failed badly, how do you decide to run against the Ravens, and pass against the Browns. Did he get those teams mixed up, we all said we are going to run agaisnt the Browns and win.

But are you trying to tell me Ryan is head coaching material??? I can assure you not other NFL team nor any major college team besides the Raiders would agree with that.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:56 am
I hope they’re trying to find an Offensive Coordinator with some innovation though and knows how to utilize the weapons we have here.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:56 am
Russell will take most of the snaps in 2010 no matter who is the coach or OC.
Our o-line is sooooooo bad that guys like Garbagekowski, Losman and Frye Boy will never survive.
Same o-line = Russell taking lots of snaps.

^^^^^^^^
A REAL head coach is a proven WINNER who is an upgrade from Cable.
Mooch failed in Detroit because of Millen more than anything else. Mooch was a winner with the Niners.
If you don’t think Harbaugh is a WINNER and would be a better head coach than Cable, then I can’t help you there.
Harbaugh is more in the mold similiar to Singletary but with an offensive background with UPSIDE.
Garrett has proven to be a better offensive mind than Cable and has worked with developing a solid QB in Romo. Garrett is a good play caller IMO….he knows how to mix it up and he knows how to get the running game going to set up the pass and vice versa. He uses ALL his weapons.
Once again…..Garrett and Harbaugh are coaches with huge UPSIDE. Much more than Cable ever had.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:57 am
Agreed – bad game planning with Browns. Offensive Coordinator who would lay down the game plan and play calling would handle that. Plus the misutilization of the offensive personnel.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:58 am
So with Gradkowski at QB and Frye they were both hurt within 3 weeks. Russell beat the Broncos, Frye lost us the game against the Browns. The defense would have still allowed so many huge plays. The team as a whole is to blame not just Jmac.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:59 am
how do you decide to run against the Ravens
==================================================
I don’t know what game you saw, but I saw a competitive team out there that spread out the Ravens D and was tearing their DB’s up the first half w/ Frye.
January 15th, 2010 at 11:59 am
Harbaugh has done more with less talent in college than Cable ever did and ever will.
Harbaugh has also had more success on the college level as a head coach then Cable and Harbaugh was also a solid player in the NFL who knows the NFL game and knows what it takes to win and work hard. He didn’t have the greatest physical tools as a player but got the job done by working hard, being a leader and being smart and gritty!
January 15th, 2010 at 12:00 pm

He is a scrambling QB not a statue! A Garcia type QB. Bad arm fast feet and a real gammer. I am not sure he would have been hurt but anything is possible.
January 15th, 2010 at 12:02 pm

January 15th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
Like I said though….if the old man can’t get a Harbaugh or Garrett or bring back Gruden, then he might as well just keep Cable and tell him to hire an Offensive Coordinator and experienced play caller who will know to utilize ALL the weapons on offense.
The team needs to draft a OT, DT, MLB and RDE.
January 15th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
Dakota,
Bruce Gradkowski is 1000% better on his worst day then Russell will ever be on his best day. Same goes for Frye and Losman.
January 15th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
Gradkowski is a good player love his team first mentality. Has been with Hackett for 2 seasons i believe, so he has learned alot. We need O-Line help and getting back to man blocking and power running.
January 15th, 2010 at 12:04 pm

Moving to a strictly 100% man to man blocking system would HORRENDOUS!
Remember when Art Shell was here….thats what him and bed and breakfast guy were trying to run with 7 step drops exclusively. Thats was one of the worst offenses I have ever seen in my life! That stuff doesn’t work in todays NFL.
Mixing it up blocking schemes and audiblizing blocking assignments are needed in todays NFL.
I think the ZBS is fine to a certain extent. Whats needed on the line are bigger and stronger O-Linemen who have can move and power block.
Instead of focusing on O-Linemen are smaller at 300-305 pounds who can move…..what is need are bigger and stronger O-Linemen around the 320-335 who can move.

January 15th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
If Rob Ryan becomes our HC, our divisional opponents will have three bye weeks. New England would have the #1 overall pick in the 2011 draft. Belichick will thank Ryan by hiring him 10 minutes after he gets canned by Al Davis.
January 15th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Ryan has figured out the secret to working for Al.
Tell him what he wants to hear.
It’s that simple.
You can run whatever offence you want, as long as you call it a “vertical game.”
Throw in the odd “just win baby,” or “commitment to excellence” and you’ve got it made. Call him up for “advice” every now and then and you’re in there.
Gruden figured that out, Shanahan was too arrogant to play the game.
Kiffin never understood that, but Cable seems much better at being humble in front of the boss.
January 15th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
POWER Zone Blocking is what is needed.
That means drafting O-Linemen are who are bigger and stronger and weight around 320-340 who can power block in a zone scheme AND can man block when necessary.
Running more two TE sets are needed as well.
January 15th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
Im offended by not being on that list, could i at least have run runs old job.
We had no talent during the Shell regime, or with Cable on the O-Line. We have running backs that do not suit his style of blocking. Asking Dmac to start and stop to make a cut makes no sense. He needs to be full speed from the get go. M-Bush needs to hit the hole strong not cut back, so that Leaves Fargas a perfect fit to be a zone runner.

stick’um ?
and I assume JR won’t be the QB? If DHB has trouble catching an accurate pass, imagine him trying to catch an inaccurate one!
oh wait, we saw that for about 8 weeks this year! ugh
4eva, will you allow Tim Brown to help ?

What about the notion that Al Davis wouldn’t let RobO coach, he wouldn’t let him blitz? If Al Davis is the meddler that all you idiots in here profess him to be then why do all these coachs want to come back here. Why does all the coaches that everyone says would never come here want to come here? Mariucci Billick, Ryan, Gruden and several others. I thought NO ONE would want to come here. Even people you said that he wouldn’t let them call their plays he ran Ryan’s defense. Why does he want to come back?
Maybe because you jerks don’t know what you’re talking about. Could it be!??!
================================================
Priesttj one of the several others is 1997 NFL Coach of the Year Jim Fassel. But then 99% of Raider fans wanted Robbo run out of town. There is One guy that actually doesn’t want Robbo run at least not yet. That guy just happens to be Mike Holmgren, current GM of Cleveland. Now if my choice on deciding football matters happens to be between Mike Holmgren’s opinion or the opinion of knucklehead Raider fans, I might have to go with Holmgren on that. Call me crazy.

Gradkowski is a good player love his team first mentality. Has been with Hackett for 2 seasons i believe, so he has learned alot. We need O-Line help and getting back to man blocking and power running.
^^^^^^^^^
Moving to a strictly 100% man to man blocking system would HORRENDOUS!
Remember when Art Shell was here….thats what him and bed and breakfast guy were trying to run with 7 step drops exclusively. Thats was one of the worst offenses I have ever seen in my life! That stuff doesn’t work in todays NFL.
Mixing it up blocking schemes and audiblizing blocking assignments are needed in todays NFL.
I think the ZBS is fine to a certain extent. Whats needed on the line are bigger and stronger O-Linemen who have can move and power block.
Instead of focusing on O-Linemen who are smaller at 300-305 pounds who can move…..what is need are bigger and stronger O-Linemen around the 320-335 pound range who can move and power block in a zone and man scheme.
January 15th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
The tuck rule game is on all the time… I especially love the quote from Tom Brady along the lines of I knew I fumbled it but the refs gave it back…

DHB has tremendous upside. If Al wont bring Brown in to work with him then DHB should go to Brown himself and learn from one of the best. I think if he can get it out of his head that he HAS to catch the ball and just lets it flow naturally he will be good.

I never said anywhere in there that drafting him at #7 was a good idea, hell I got worried that we were gonna take Maclin at 7 as I thought that was high for him, and he turned out to be pretty effin good, although at this Mike Vrabel is a MUCH better receiver than DHB so that is not so much a fair comparison.LOL

I don’t even know why Rob Ryan’s name keeps coming up. He’s about as good a coaching candidate as Jim Zorn, and Zorn was — oh yeah, that’s right, some idiot actually hired him to coach! Maybe Ryan as HC is not so far-fetched after all; after all, how many times did Jim Mora, Jr. get hired?

Al Davis + (Cable x Russell) = Home Opener Blackout.
January 15th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
The reason we lost that Super Bowl is we got off to a bad week of prepping: our offensive line disintegrated before we even took the field, we game-planned wrong, too many mistakes and penalties; adn oh yeah, we got our asses kicked!
January 15th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
oldkell, if you are scared of a blackout, buy a ticket.
January 15th, 2010 at 2:44 pm

Norco, “old Kell” is not the only person you’ve pulled this trip on. Every time someone brings up a blackout, you go in on them for being cheap and not going to games, etc. Why? Why do you care rather or not anyone goes to games, unless you have some kind of stake in it?

What about the notion that Al Davis wouldn’t let RobO coach, he wouldn’t let him blitz? If Al Davis is the meddler that all you idiots in here profess him to be then why do all these coachs want to come back here. Why does all the coaches that everyone says would never come here want to come here? Mariucci Billick, Ryan, Gruden and several others. I thought NO ONE would want to come here. Even people you said that he wouldn’t let them call their plays he ran Ryan’s defense. Why does he want to come back?
Maybe because you jerks don’t know what you’re talking about. Could it be!??!

“Small Iowa town remembers 50th anniversary of ‘Lucky Lakers’ landing
By Luke Meredith (CP) – 1 hour ago
DES MOINES, Iowa — The first two cars the Minneapolis Lakers saw after landing in a snowy Iowa cornfield were a hearse and an ambulance. People dashed through a blinding blizzard, hoping to help and prepared for the worst.
It was early in the morning Jan. 18, 1960, and the Lakers’ DC-3 airplane had just come down near the small western Iowa town of Carroll after a desperate search for a landing spot. The rumbling of the plane had awakened residents.
“They really thought they were gonna need the hearse,” said former Lakers guard Dick Garmaker, who was on the plane. “I did, too.”
Nearly a year after rockers Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, known as the Big Bopper, died in a plane crash in northern Iowa, the Lakers nearly suffered a similar fate about 240 kilometres.
But “The Lucky Lakers,” as Garmaker called them, survived their ill-fated trip from St. Louis to Minneapolis unscathed, though more than a bit shaken up.
On Monday, the Iowa town of about 10,000 will remember what’s been called a miracle landing with a reception and unveiling of a historical marker dedicated to that night 50 years ago.
After a game against the Hawks, the Lakers took off from St. Louis in bad weather for the trip home to Minnesota. The team, led that year by a second-year star named Elgin Baylor and assists leader Hot Rod Hundley, had just lost its fourth straight game.
According to co-pilot Harold Gifford, now 86, both of the plane’s generators failed soon after takeoff, knocking out the lights, radio and power inside the plane.
Gifford and pilot Vern Ullman, now deceased, flew the plane above the clouds and guided themselves by the North Star. The pilots thought they’d be fine as long as they stayed above the clouds, but “the soup,” as Gifford called it, kept rising.
The pilots decided to descend low enough so that they’d be dealing with snow instead of more dangerous ice in the clouds. They wound up near Carroll, about 115 kilometres northwest of Des Moines.
The plane circled the town several times – narrowly missing a grove of trees at one point – as the pilots looked for the airport. The windshield became iced over, so Gifford and Ullman took turns sticking their heads out of the window to see where they were.
“It was horrible!” Tom Hawkins, then a Lakers rookie, told the New York Post last year. “The cold and the fear and the lack of oxygen triggered uncontrollable twitching and constriction in the throat. Yet, amazingly, nobody panicked.”
Baylor told the Post that at one point he got up and positioned himself on the floor in the rear of the plane, hooking his arms and legs around seat bottoms.
“I’d read the back was the safest place to be,” he explained. “By then my fear of dying was gone. If I was going to go, then let it be.”
Gifford could see little more than the last two L’s on Carroll’s water tower and the words “Seniors ‘59.”
But it was rather bright, Gifford said. He learned later the residents had turned on every light in town to it as bright as possible for the struggling plane.
“When I first saw that town lighted up, I thought, ‘Boy, this is great. There are people down there living, which is what I want to keep doing to,’ ” Gifford said. “It was a very exciting experience.”
With fuel running low, the pilots decided to land in the cornfield. The plane’s 23 passengers fell silent when the DC-3 hit the snowy ground at around 1:30 a.m. – for a moment.
“When we realized we were safe we erupted in cheers,” Hundley told the Post. “We jumped out the back and were like little kids.
“We threw snowballs at each other and the pilots.”
One of the first people the Lakers saw was the local undertaker.
“I’m not shucking you,” Hawkins told the Post. “The guy remarked, ‘Thought I had some business tonight, boys.’ ”
Residents drove the unharmed passengers to a nearby hotel, and the next day the team boarded a bus and drove back to Minneapolis. The plane was soon repaired, and a bulldozer was used to plow a makeshift runway so the plane could complete its journey.
“It was really a heroic deal. It was a miracle what these guys performed that night. Quite unbelievable,” Garmaker said.
Months after the emergency landing, the team moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles.
John Steffes, a self-described history buff, spearheaded the commemoration after learning that distant relatives owned the farm where the plane landed. The cornfield is now a subdivision, so the city will place the historical marker in a nearby park.
“If we would have gotten on the ball a couple of years earlier we probably could have named the park Laker Park,” he said.

Attention, Fine Gentlemen of the Blog:
Our pal, KrappyKell, has been suffering from a debilitating case of Alzheimer’s and he needs our help!
Anything you can donate to the poor old fool will help in his recovery – vanilla yogurt, bedpans (new or used), pajamas with feet, marshmellows, Arby’s coupons, any movie on DVD starring Julia Roberts or Mandy Moore and as much prescription pain medication as you can find laying around your mom’s condo.
Fellow bloggers, we’ve relied on our blog pal Krappy for years now to give us a daily offering of deranged nonsense and now its time for us to give back!
Haiti can wait!
And Krappy, if you’re able to process this information in your current condition, you need to forget about kicking off construction on the Swiss chalet until at least until 2011.
That’ll give the doctors enough time to get you committed to a proper, caring institution.

In a weak voice Raider75 says, “What EXACTLY did you say to me?”

I saw Shefter this morning. He said… “While no one knows for sure what Al Davis will do, the consensus around the league is that sweeping changes are coming. Not only will Cable be fired, but a handful of assistant coaches as well.”
Al should be reaching out to Pete Carmichael, Jr.

Maine, what coverage? Nobody cares about the Raiders. ESPN has given the Raiders a mass total of about 3 seconds per day. “No news on Raiders and Cable”. That’s it. Buried at the end of sportscenter, when they’re just cracking jokes and making fun of stuff. After they’ve show all of the day’s highlights, and covered all of the day’s important stories. I’d think the Raiders didn’t even exist anymore if it wasn’t for the local media. It’s been all McGuire, Kiffin, Arenas, and Haiti, all week. Raiders = irrelevant.

That kid can throw it through a storm
and he would still be just as accurate
gruden wanted to draft drew brees instead Al chose janikowski then with the 2nd round pick Al let gruden pick a quarterback that was tuiasasopo
January 17th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
ASSesment of Russell???? That pretty much covers the word for Russell. As far as Tom Cables, ?? I’m not sure he can get any better…..I like his attitude, but I would really like to see a coach for the Raiders who could match the bad guys reputation days of old. When Bad Boys, Bad Boys, whatcha gonna do when they come for you……worked.
Russell may be able to throw through a storm, but if his receivers don’t trust him, he might as well go ahead and throw it to the other team to begin with, OH, Yeh he does, or fumbles it. If I were on the offense, I would let the defense get to him too, cause maybe he will get hurt, and we might have to (are you listening AL?) get a decent quarterback. I really believe Gradkowski can do the job, but with both Knees, not much hope for him.
Please, Please no Rob Ryan……So what about Winston Moss???? Howie mentioned him yesterday.
What thoughts do you have>?
January 18th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Before we couldn’t find anyone that wanted the job. Now reports are Mooch and Ryan want the job. Wouldn’t mind seeing an interview list that consisted of Mooch, Ryan, Frazier, Harbaugh, Zimmer (Bengals DC). Get rid of Cable. I personally would prefer Harbaugh, but he probably wouldnt be interested. So I would def. take Mariuchi as option B.
January 19th, 2010 at 12:35 am
C’mon guys,
“I’m kind of hoping he doesn’t get in the game”
You gotta be kidding me. I almost feel like I’m giving Ryan too much credit, but it sounds like he was trying to pull off some kind of Jedi-mind trick. Thinking the Raiders are gonna say ok, lets let Jamarcus loose against the lonley Browns. Ryan and his defense were probably licking their chops at the thought of Jamarcus steping in between the lines.
Bottom line is this…Robby is the guy we fired because his (play good till it matters)defense was DEAD LAST in rushing. And now a year later we are gonna bring him back? Not only that, we’re gonna give him a promotion?!? Terrible…but absolutly believable in Raiderland.
January 21st, 2010 at 9:27 pm
How about turning Jamarcus loose on Denver?
That would be poetic justice. I would absolutely be thrilled and delighted.
