Raiders assistants also await word
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, January 16th, 2010 at 4:24 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Tom Cable isn’t the only Raiders coach awaiting word of his status for the 2010 season, assuming he hasn’t been told and is just keeping it quiet for reasons known only to Al Davis.
As the college all-star games and NFL combine approaches, assistants will either be still working for the Raiders or networking for other jobs.
Earlier today, Profootballtalk.com, referring to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, reported Tuesday could be a key date since assistant coaches must be notifed whether or not they’ll be retained.
However, according to an NFL source, no such deadline exists for coaches under contract.
The Raiders don’t release information regarding the contracts of assistant coaches, but normally sign them to two-year deals. That being the case, six new coaches _ defensive coordinator John Marshall, linebackers coach Mike Haluchak, passing game coordinator Ted Tollner, defensive backs coach Lionel Washington and defensive line coach Dwaine Board _ are likely signed through next season.
Wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal and tight ends coach Adam Henry were promoted from quality control assistants and are in their third year, as is running backs coach Kelly Skipper. Quarterbacks coach Paul Hackett is in his second season after being a special assignment scout last year.
For assistant coaches under contract who will not return to the staff, it’s common for teams to allow them to seek jobs elsewhere. If they don’t find work, the Raiders will often reassign them, as they did with James Lofton for a time last season.
It’s possible the Raiders could wait through the weekend or longer to sort it all out. It’s been 13 days since the end of the regular season. The longest a Raiders coach has gone and then been fired since the the team came back to Oakland was Joe Bugel, who was let go 16 days after the end of the season after going 4-12.

Breaking news: No news…
January 16th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Why would AL keep Sanjay Lal, that dude did nothing to develop DHB, I think we need new coaches that can teach these players not Al’s scholarship coaches.
January 16th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
WE’LL DECIDE ONE DAY….
January 16th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Lal’s got ZERO experience as a head coach of ANYTHING on ANY LEVEL. Played receiver in high school ONCE I think. Ridiculous.
ALL of our WRs except for the oft injured Schilens run bad rou and even WRONG routes and display some of the poorest form of any WR’s I’ve ever seen not only in the pros, but in college as well.
I’ve seen D linemen with better technique then DHB.
Sickening and ridiculous…
January 16th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
RB coach Skipper should be let go….I don’t like the development of the RB’s. I don’t see any significant adjustments being made during games like I did when Rathman was RB coach.
Lal should go back to a quality control assistant.

January 16th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
cable ain’t twisting folks…
he already knows he and Jacarcass will be headlining next year…
January 16th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Personally, I think Cable is gone, who is he replaced with? I dont know but I dont want a college coach like Jim Harbaugh or Mike Leach. Get me a Jim Fassel or Kevin Gilbride. As far as assistants, I would love AL to get free agents assistant like Sherman Smith who could resurrect DMAC career and enhance M Bush game. Maybe keep Paul HAckett but definitely replace Sanjay Lal with Falcons Wide Receiver coach Terry Robiskie who coached the raiders in the 70s, an experienced coach is needed for louis murphy and dhb.
January 16th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
Warner a definite HOF….but should be be put in the HOF teh first time??
Not fair to other greats that should be in the HOF like Guy, Plunkett, Stabler, Hayes, Branch, Flores……that for damn sure!
Biased idiotic sports writer should have ANY votes for the HOF. The living members of the HOF should have their own voting committee! Sports writer who are HOF should NOT have a vote and their votes should be revoked ASAP!
January 16th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Petes usually wrong about most things, but hes right, Cable and Russell wihtout doubt back in 2010,..as well as another 4-12 type year,..Im used to it, all good.

If Colts shutdown Ray Rice, they should win against the Ravens. Colts win big.
January 16th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
True, Norco. But what really happens is that the pot expands their thought process on what it’s already focused on: problems they have little to no control over. You carry the weight of the world on your shoulders regularly, and you’re going to freak when you smoke pot. If they were to smoke pot all of the time, I suppose they would learn to relax and enjoy their high. But it’s really hard to change that wiring. Usually takes therapy. In other words, Norco, the reason why you enjoy pot so much is because you never had much of a conscience to begin with. My guess is that you were neglected or abused as a child, probably by your father, and you’ve always used that as an excuse to pass the world’s problems, including yours, on to someone else. That’s why you enjoy pot. That’s why most people who do enjoy pot at a young age are people from troubled environments.

Norco Bob I think you already admitted on occasion you had an abusive father? I don’t care if you grew up in paradise that’s going to damage you. And you just said earlier today you were shooting heroin in San Jose when you were younger. There’s no way you came from a stable environment if that’s the case.

Steeler Nation was coined LONG before the Raiders.
RedSox nation even before that.
Oh..and that Cherokee nation thang?
Yeah..been around for a bit.
I suppose, to be fair, Al should also sue the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Crow Nations…along with the other 550 tribes..just to be safe.
January 16th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Never claimed to have come from stable environment,..and no never mentioned father in here,..he was cool, no prob with him ever, not as a kid anyway.
January 16th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
Geez, looks to me like the Chargers will get afc title game at home,..yup, they goin to superbowl, but the Saints will beat em. Brees gets revenge.
January 16th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
Norco, I’m not going to go back and find it but I know you’ve said before that your father was abusive. It was a father’s day and you kept saying that you’re father’s in hell. Richochet’s right. You’re here to get attention. Nothing else.
January 16th, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Go glance at yesterday, or day before, RMR.
Norco, after nonstop idiot insults about everything, he then laughed at the fact he got people to reply.
Some people take drugs because of issues…others just because they’re weak.
When you get the Norco’s and Br ian’s laughing at the fact they’re heavy drug users, and regular fall down drunks, while laughing at everything around them, I tend to believe he’s just a weak attention whore.

Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh reportedly turned down an offer from the Bills to be their next head coach.
Harbaugh recently signed an extension at Stanford and will stay with the Cardinal. He’s the latest in a line of coaches to spurn Buffalo, after Mike Shanahan, Bill Cowher, Brian Schottenheimer and possibly Russ Grimm also passed on the opportunity.

January 16th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
Man watching Colts linebackers, they run fast like Morrison but they can tackle for sure, I bet if Morrison was there, he would be like Gary Bracket kind of guy, I think Morrison speed is underrated but he lacks a good coach to teach him gap movement and tackling. Raiders need good coaches regardless if AL mingles with the defense or not. I dont believe this team was well coached this year.

January 16th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
Flacco straight up stinks. His coaches are scared t daeth of using him. They would at least have a chance if it weren’t for him. And the Jets are in deep trouble with Sanchez against the Chargers. But the coaching staffs of both teams understand how to work with a young QB something that’s totally lost on our coaching staff.
We expose young QB’s they protect them them selves from them. They at least depend on their running games and defenses to win we tried to win with a passing game of a young struggling QB and two rookie WR’s and for that I think Cable is liable. Instead of the struggling young QB whom he threw under the bus.
January 16th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
No way does Cable hang on. You guys forget Al’s modus operandi: first, like a vulture he picks the brains of his soon to be departed staff; then he lets them twist in the wind; then he mulls his options; then he thinks he can grab somebody from a playoff/Super Bowl team, so he waits until February to pull the trigger. Then his first pick turns him down and he’s left with table scraps (not that he’d have more than that anyways).
Al, you cagey genius you!
January 16th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Priest, maybe someday you will hold Russell accountable,..doubt it though.
January 16th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Bob, mayb some day you’ll understand football. I doubt it tho…
January 16th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
This game is a lot closer if Flacco was any good at all. He just cannot make plays…………..period
January 16th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Look old buddy, I got you back with Gary, no need to hate on me TJ.
January 16th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
TJ,..what does Mike tell you bout Cable?…stayin or goin?…it wont leave this blog bro.
January 16th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
I see priest is still out there making excuses for Russell. Hey TJ, I can assure you that at least Brady Quinn, Flacco and Sanchez put a lot more time to preparation then Jawalrus will ever put in his efforts.
January 16th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
If Russell had thrown those two int’s the commentary would be very different. That’s what sickens me is the bias commentary. Both int’s were due to inaccurate passes but that’s not how the color man put it. He should’ve said Flacco needs to get better but we never heard that from him.
January 16th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Evening Nation,
Ohioraider, If Al has ben picking the brains of his former coaches before cutting them loose, that might explain why we have sucked for the last 7 years.

“wahhhhhhhhh….Cable benched JR….wahhhhhhh”
Hey, moron, he sucked.
Even as you cried and cried about him being benched, HE SUCKED.
Even as you GUARANTEED that once JR got back in where he would shine, HE SUCKED.
Even as you guaranteed Grad would suck? HE DIDN’T.
Team gave up on Russell.
Fans gave up on Russell.
And finally Al gave up on Russell.
You? lol..you stupidly call the radio station, where even they mock you, and then hang up on you.

===================================================
I agree with you that both Jets and Ravens ran the ball and play strong defense to win it, but hey that system is wont win you a SB or take you far in this league. As you know the game has favored offensive teams, it became a passing league. If we struggled in that dept due to JR and our coaches, it doesnt mean that we adapt a system that wont translate to wining a SB. If you love this team then you should know that we can’t win with this QB called JR. Yes, we do need strong defense and a good running game, but our QB has to be average. JR is clearly below average, you can blame the coaches all you want, but JR as Jerry was reporting during training camp looked awful. He clearly regressed. He reported over weight, showed up late in meetings, showed up over weight in camp, seen partying on Saturdays, what else you know it all. Priesttj, you are passionate about the Raiders like all of us, but clearly you missing some points in blaming coaches rather than blaming the players themselves. JR has no work ethic like Flacco or Sanchez. He barely knows the playbook and can only read half the field as Steve Young commented in the first game, he also got out played by two backups Frye and Gradkowski. He hasnt shown he deserves the money he got payed. He left the team to party in Vegas instead of taking new instructions for the off season.
Listen Priesttj, you love the Raider like we all do, you understand football but you fail to notice that we are not a talented team like the Ravens or Jets, their rank top 10 in defense and forcing turnovers. We can barely stop the run and we give huge plays on a weekly basis, to be honest, what do u expect us to do when our team is trailing by 10 pts, keep running the ball or force the pass? Besides, two rookie wrs, whose fault is that, Cable or AL Davis, AL is the one who controls who plays, Cable benched Russell only after AL gave him to go. Why dont you blame AL Davis instead of blaming the coaches? Note, I dont like Cable or other coaches, in my earlier posted, I have said we need new coaches that can develop these young players, I even named running back coach Sherman and wrs coach Robiski as potential replacement. Yet, you can only teach those who want to learn, Russel clearly doesnt think he needs it.
January 16th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
TJ, you may make light of me getting you back with Gary on KNBR, but I know Pat, he talked to Gary, they allowed you to come back on,…probably because your calls make them laugh,…then you run to Damon or whomever at night,…does Mike know youre doin this?
January 16th, 2010 at 8:22 pm

I know because I use my own judgement based on facts. Not hearsay and enuendos and overhyped crap. Just as I knew Flacco and Ryan would get exposed, and the supposed Sanchise was a fluke.
The media hypes people they like and Russell was Davis’s pick which makes him an automatic underdog. Cable did something that was stupid and counterproductive. Worse he didn’t win.
January 16th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
Sanchise is a bust TJ?…is he playin tomorrow or is Jamarcus?
January 16th, 2010 at 8:36 pm

Forget the media for a second. You wanna talk about facts, ok, tell me this dont you agree that JR barely knows the playbook and can only read half the field as Steve Young commented in the first game, he also got out played by two backups Frye and Gradkowski. He hasnt shown he deserves the money he got payed. He left the team to party in Vegas instead of taking new instructions for the off season? Isn’t this facts
January 16th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
The fact is Jamarcus was less productive than His Primary backup.
Jamrcus has a propensity to fumble.
Jamarcus is immature, and needs to get his head straight.
He does not yet know what the term Proffesional means.

JaMarcus is….just plain STUPID!!!!!!
January 16th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Thanks 4eve…Missed that.
Tj…what facts?
January 16th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
His “fact” is that he likes Jamarcus because he is black.
If you don’t like Jamarcus because he sucks as a QB, Priest will just call you a bigot.
BIGOT.
January 16th, 2010 at 8:49 pm
TJ…is it true. You support Jamarcus because He’s black?
January 16th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
Boy! what a bunch of geniuses!!
If you can’t see why I support Russell then you are blind and ignorant. People say he’s dumb who have never met him, so how would they know? He’s definitely immature and young and needs to understand what it takes to be great.
Frye and Gradkowski had to learn the same thing. Or else they would still be with the teams that drafted them. Both of them have been on 3 other teams and handed pink slips before they actually learned. So they’re where Russell needs to get to. But to ask Russell to be where they are at this point is ignorant.
Last year even Garcia was benched twice. It happens Russell has a lot to learn but I would say he’s 60% there and time and experience are all he needs……..period
January 16th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
He was THE #1 overall pick and he is in his third year.
HIS THIRD YEAR!!!!
He is supposed to be the franchise QB, instead he’s a punchline.
He has regressed and has lost everyone’s respect.
He sucks…..period.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
#rd year for a QB is nothing the kid 24 years old and was handed a trap door. Give him a defense and a running game and he can win……….period. The idiot coach gave him two rookies and told him to win throwing to them. He was set up to fail. They say he regressed I say he was in a situation where very few QB’s would have been successful. Then when he wasn’t everyone said it was his fault because they’re ignorant of the facts.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
Lets run a 3-4 defense next year.
Rd1 McClain ILB
Rd2 T Cody NT
Rd3a Mike Johnson RG

Rd5 Vlad Ducasse OG/T
January 16th, 2010 at 9:16 pm
TJ, when players like Chaz, Kirk, publicly are diappointed in Russell, I bet its because they see up close daily how he just doesnt give a F…not because hes lacking qb experience and all that BS,..they are out there busting their butts in practice, all week, in the film rooms,…I can tell by their words that Jamarcus isnt, thats why he has lost the team.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
TJ,..the coach gave him two rookies and what a bad defense?…Cable did that?…lol…arent you aware Cable doesnt even get to choose when he can go to the bathroom in Alameda, much less the f`n roster…too funny.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
This concept of losing the team is hilarious!
Kirk? Are we sure HE hasn’t lost the defense with all the blown assignments and missed tackles he’s wrapped up?
Chaz? Try staying on the field for more than 8 games a season so the QB doesn’t have to play with DHB and Watkins!
Henderson and Green? Try blocking someone instead of begging for a mobile QB!
Brady had the EXACT same miscues as Russell against the Ravens. Did Brady show lack of pocket presence when Suggs stripped him? How about that pick he threw right to the defense? Pretty Russell-esq, huh? Of course not.
Flacco threw for 35 yds last week, and was 7/14 for 80 yds in the 3rd qtr today. If we had ANY type of coach, we could have been in the playoffs by RUNNING THE BALL and playing decent defense.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
Bob, now who’s making excuses? Chaz and Kirk need to get better at their jobs. Stop worrying about someone else. They wouldn’t know what he does all they know is what he does in practice. And I know he practices very well. That I do know.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
Maybe Kirk and Chaz arent all pro TJ,..but they work hard and have respect for the game,..your boy is a disgrace.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
The coach should have practiced running the ball in the preseason and during training camp. The guy with the headset on should have busted out the jumbo package before week 14!
Yeah Al wanted to see DHB, and Chaz got hurt. Unfortunate! But the coach made ZERO adjustments calling plays and is now admitting he needs to give up play calling.
The coach says he needs to give up play calling.
The coach said the Oline was terrible this year.
We ALL know DHB and Watkins were awful, and they we IT for what 6 games or so this year?
Those 3 things alone add to the hilariousness of the team being upset with someone! Half the team should be cut!
January 16th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
Thanks Jhill, at least there someone in here with some football acumen. These guy’s can’st see the forest for the trees.
Russell has his problems but so does everyone else especially the coach. But the only reason we’re not a playoff team is the young QB what a bunch of crock.
Thankfully we have an owner who’s very football savvy who aint buying into the bullcrap.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Oh brother,..TJ,..tell me, is Cable staying or going?
January 16th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Russell has his part of this debacle too, but gawd damn man!
It’s so funny to me that a lot of people say it was ALL Russell, then turn right around and say we need a new OC, DHB sucks, and our Oline is garbage. LMFAO! I mean, if it was all Russell, why not just plug in Grads and sit back and enjoy the playoff run.
If pretty easy to see that the Jets and Ravens have no real QB play to speak of. For whatever reason. And they are STILL competitive and in the playoffs. I wonder why?
January 16th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
I think I’m just past the Russell BS because we ALL know he’s coming back because of the owner. So why sit here and biotch about it. Move the fugg on.
Build the Oline so we can dominate on the ground, and have a bit of time for whatever QB to throw. Grads and Frye got the shyt knocked outta them man!
Dez Bryant in Rd 1 and a RT in Rd 2.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:37 pm

Ok thats it man, Im calling Pat monday morning, you can forget about calling Gary anymore dude,..book that.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
Cable has to accept responsibility for the under utilization/lack of creativity regarding Bush and McFadden.
Also the poor line play as that is His baby.
The fact still remains that Jamarcus clearly regressed as a QB in spite of the coaching of Hacket, and as the Guy that got all of the work in the week leading up to a game.
It’s just my opinion, but I think Jamarcus still has not understood what it really means to be the starting QB on an NFL team.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Jhill and Priesttj
Whose game plan was implemented this season offensively?
Wasn’t it AL’s? Wasn’t it AL who forced DHB and Murphy to start? Couldn’t he have signed veteren WRs or start Walker? Whose mistake it was not to draft a single OL last year? Come on guys, if you wanna blame someone you have to blame the GM who is in charger for the past 7 years.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
My starting WR’s next year would be Chaz, Murphy, and JLH.
They have been shown to be productive when given the time on the field.
Bush would be my lead back. McFadden would be used all over the field.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
The only contstant over the past 7 seasons (excluding losing football) is Al Davis. Anyone who believes things will get better as long as he insists on running our once proud organization is an idiot
January 16th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
Raiderlen
To be honest, I think AL Davis should sign a veteran WRs maybe he can get T.O he would be by far our best WR.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
Len,
I would like to see Chaz & Murphy outside, and DHB in the slot. I also would like to see more of Bush rushing, and DMC running less inside.
January 16th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
Al is old. Or put another way…not as young as He used to be.
He should acknowledge this and find some help with the Football Operations of His organization.
If His ego is larger than His common sense…we will continue to witness the withering of a once great Franchise.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
4eve, with all due respect…I really don’t like T.O.
The guy is all about Him. I’d prefer to see a Guy that was more about “us” as a teammate.
I think Chaz can be a To type player. He has the Physical attributes, and what appears to be a much better attitude.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
MAJOR changes are in the works. Things will come to light soon…
January 16th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
Hey O, how ya doin?
DHB need to prove He can catch the ball before I’d put Him in the slot. Things happen quickly there.
Sure hands are important.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Dogg, Cough it up.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
we should sign a vet WR to help The young guys, but only if he is cheap. I think we have a lot of issues with the entire right side of the OL. We need to draft OL! We alsohave problems with the front 7 especialy DT and MLB.
Seymour should be moved inside in our 4-3 scheme. He had 5 sacks!
We also need to draft or sign a DT, right DE, MLB, and a CB.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
All I can say is Cable is done
January 16th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Dogg,
100% Certain?
January 16th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
Len,
All is well. How are you?
I agree that he needs to prove he can catch before he can get on the field, but with his work ethic he should be able to do better this season. Atleast share time with JLH in the Slot, and be a backup for outside WRs.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
It’s looking that way, although you never know what Al is going to do until he actually does it.
I do think Al realizes things need to change in a big way and it appears he is more open to it than he has ever been.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
O…OL from Center to RT…agreed.
MLB…Agreed.
DL…a run stuffer.
CB…I could wait a year.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Dogg, forgive my ignorance…do you have inside dope?
January 16th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Russell will compete for the starting spot next year. I am hearing that there are a few people out there that think they can help this kid turn it around and Al plans on meeting with every single one of them.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
Dogg,
How to you know that? Don’t go into detail but throws us a bone. lol
January 16th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
Anything short of Al stepping down is not sufficient.

Ready to start some heavy training.

I wouldn’t say inside dope. But my source has been dead on in the past, although always with a disclaimer that “you never know until you know” so take it with a grain. I will say after talking to my friend, I was pretty psyched about what was said.
Norco Bob has the inside dope. He gets it off craigslist

January 16th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
Raiderdogg
How can Russell be helped if he is not willing to put on the work? He is been fined for missing meetings and showing up late, he is been over weight, hardly knows the playbook, lost the respect of his teammates? been outplayed by two backup QBs, who in the right mind would think this QB can turn around and become a decent player, even Alex Smith who works hard seems below average QB.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
Chappy, we’ve been living with not sufficient for quite awhile.
Not likely to change.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
Dogg, Thanks for the insight.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Len,
The only way I would wait for a CB is to to try Huff there. Maybe try him in the slot, and if he does will we can move him outside.
Huff played CB and S at Texas, and he is the shadow king so we know he can cover.
I think CJ is a descent CB, and Routt can’t cover.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Priestjj,
When u talk about Russell not having the ammunition to work with to make an accurate judgement about him, I agree, but I’m not hearing you talk about the lack of leadership (which even the PLAYERS have alluded to). Or, Russell not taking his job seriously (as evidenced by him being so out of shape). That’s te stuff that rubs me the wrong way about him, and hence the harsh judgement which he so richly deserves.
The guy is a slacker, and hearing him talk? well, the dude can’t even form complete sentences. Hence the “dumb” references.
Maybe if he actually tried to be a real NFL QB people would give him some slack.
He’s got some raw talent, but I have no respect for a guy that takes millions and doesn’t give a crap.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
Len,
What kind of training?
January 16th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
4eve
Word around was that Russell took this season much harder than he is letting on. Russell expects to be great and had never suffered such criticism and ridicule in his entire life. Perception is that he now realizes what needs to be done. If he actually does is entirely up to him.
We shall see. I am just relaying what I heard. Personally I hope Russell succeeds. Winning solves a lot and that includes the trust of his fellow teammates. I also heard that Russell had much more support in the locker room than what is portrayed in the media.
Remember don’t kill the messenger and take it with a grain of salt…
January 16th, 2010 at 10:26 pm

I am seriosly expecting BIG changes. I think Cable is done.
I also heard that there are a few players that aren’t all about Cable, including Richard Seymour…
January 16th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Len,
We can’t fix everything in 1 year, and I agree with you. OL & the front 7 are more important to fix than the secondary.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
why do so many of u want russell to fail? anybody can see the light so to speak. lets see if the man comes back strong from all of this adversity. al davis has every right to cater to his #1 pick if it helps him get better. maybe al davis realizes he didnt help this situation much and feels the need to correct it. dont yall know it actually helps us if russell does pan out? would any of u give up on your knucklehead sons so easily? didnt think so.

January 16th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
Armond, I stated way back in April that I thought Jamarcus should get 2 solid years of playing time before a real decision was made about His future prospects as a player.
After this past season, with His obvious regression, I’ve changed my tune.
This young Man needs to demonstrate that He is clearly better than any other option we have in an open competition at the 2010 traing camp.
I would like nothing better than for Him to succeed.
I now however have reservations about His level of commintent to the PROFESSION of football.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:39 pm

No names, just everyone chiming in on who they would like to see. Brian Billick seemed to be a popular choice, although most seemed to think he would ask for too much money.
Probably will be some young assistant surrounded by older, experienced coaches. Al seems content to find that next big coach.
All right I am out for the night. I have been gone all day and the wife is in the bedroom waiting on me. She wants to watch Up In The Air.
Have a good night y’all and hope for the best. I have the feeling we will be finding out in the next couple of days what is going down, or at least where the Raiders are headed…
January 16th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
dogg i agree russ was bothered much more than he let on cuz reality has hit his azz up hard. we all know had he been honest about everything the media and fans would have a field day with it. cable has lied several times this year and i keep bringing up what ronald curry said about him last year. also a poster by the name of downthebay has mentioned hackett and russells lack of communication. why does it seem like kiffin and russ had a better relationship than he and cable?

January 16th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
RaiderDogg
Thanks for the info, but I remain skeptical about it. Hypothetically, lets even say JR hires a personal trainer and cook to get back in shape, AL fixes the OL and gets him good coaches along with few more weapons, also lets say he starts understands what it takes to become a good QB, all these points are of course a hypothesis. Question is, how does he solve his inaccuracy? I heard from former QBs, Steve Young in KNBR, ESPN Kordel Stewart (I know he is faq), Marino, Gannon, many more former players that the one thing you can’t teach a QB is to become accurate, you either have it or don’t. Meaning, Brett Favre is a first ballot hall of famer, but he will never been known to as an accurate QB, JR is far from having Bretts career, we can all agree to that, but how can JR learn to throw the ball accurately when he doesnt have it in his system and will never have it? We need a accurate QB, not someone who will throw 2 TDS only to give up the same in the fourth QB. Why pay that money and waste that time knowing he is not and will never be an accurate QB?
January 16th, 2010 at 10:48 pm
len i understand all of that even i am taking a wait and see approach.he definately has to prove himself but i question the need for people to act so high and mighty when it really doesnt matter what they think. al davis isnt giving up on his investment this soon unless russell does some gangsta type sh!t. that damn defense is overrated and the oline is horrible. thats cable’s forte and when did al force murphy to start over jlh? ill give dhb but murphy no way. ronnie brown was criticized for the same stuff as was vy but now look at them. we need competition at every position aside from qb.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
Lol @ Al’s “big changes”….steel yourselves for another “returning the raiders greatness” state of union address that still neglects the organizational changes needed, it’s not just about putting a broom thru HCs and assistant coaches year after year if the ORGANIZATIONAL structure is still the same.

Load up on the Cowboys and Dolts tomorrow.

Vegas,
Do you think Romo is better than Brady and Matt Schaub?
January 16th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
RaiderLen…
The thing is, Cable isn’t a good coach, and we SHOULD get a better one. BUT, the problem is, the org structure in place is restricting the ability of whichever coaches we have to get the best/most out of the players, not to mention hand-cuffing them with draftees and free agent/trade acquisitions that they mightn’t have wanted. Thing is, the GMs and Owners around the NFL make the big call, but they DO more often listen to their coaches/scouts recommendations whereas Al in the main ignores them. Many inside the building recommended Al draft Crabtree for instance, but he ignored them. Same with Gruden’s draft wants being ignored. Gruden at least was still a top-notch coach that we’d have for decades that he was able to work with whatever players Al saddled him with.
I guess that’s the “hope” with a new HC after Cable, hoping it’s someone of good coaching reputation, like a Fassell, or Gruden. But Al really makes it hard on his Raiders succeeding when he restricts HCs in the current organizational structure that castrates HC’s from having more authority. Doesn’t help either when he often hires poor-standard HCs like Cable, who you wouldn’t want to give them too much power either.
January 16th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
Definately better than Scaub, and I would rather have Romo in 2010 than Brady.
But Tom is a better all-time QB and cheater.

It’s Raider Nation because you’ll find d-bags like me who live 3,000 miles away writing on a team message board at 2 am (my time) about a team that just finished the season 5-11 two weeks ago.

I crushed it today. Had the Saints and the over. Had the Colts and the under. Did a 3-way parlay of Saints over, Colts under and Chargers over that’s 2/3s home.
Of course this means I’ll possibly get crushed tomorrow and wipe out all the gains I made today.
For the record: I like the Chargers -7 and the over 42 in that game. I like the Cowboys +2.5 but don’t have a good feeling on the over/under in that one at all. Could be a shootout or could be a 20-13 type game. I’ll leave that alone.

I like the Cowboys and the Chargers as well. Those were my two favorite picks, so I didn’t touch anything today. I was thinking of taking the Ravens, but I didn’t pull the trigger at +6.5. Not after how the Saints looked.
With both home teams winning, I really like Dallas in the morning.
Good work today. This season was awful for me. I am limping to the finish, lol.

What ONE position is most critical to getting the Raiders competetive in 2010?
Can’t say Coach or GM.
Has to be player.
Example: Al Davis would say 4.2 CB.
January 16th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
And I think I like the under in the Cowboys game, but I hate taking unders so I more than likely won’t touch it.
I’m thinking lots of long drives, lots of 3rd downs, and more than usual FG’s. Could be a weird final score, 22-20 or something like that

January 16th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
I’ve been a big Romo believer for awhile. The Cowboys were nothing for years before he took over. Then they rattle off a 13-3 year and 3 other winning seasons with him at QB. In his 3 full seasons he’s averaging around 4,000 yards and 30 TDs to 14 INTs. He hasn’t had a season with a QB rating below 91.4.
Plus just watch him play. Great pocket awareness. Great escapability. Always looking downfield to make plays rather than going with quick checkdowns. I’d love the Raiders to have a QB of that caliber. I know he wasn’t great in December until this year but I think that all gets a bit overhyped.
January 16th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Look for the Jets to surprise the Chargers.
Revis is for real. Only seen a few games this season, but he is elite.
If Nnnamdi hadn’t looked so good against the run and screens on occasion…Nnamdi’s looking like a complete CB but honestly, Revis may be better at coverage…
I may be biased cuz I hate the Chargers, but I’ve predicted Saints Chargers in the SB.
Fix could be in ala Jerome Bettis and the “The Bus” and that blatanly rigged Steelers Seahawks super bowl so Bret Favre may make it in.
Dallas is hot right now and their D can get to the QB…if its Dallas Chargers, Dallas wins…

A QB, plain and simple.
A great QB can magically help the O-line, and maybe even help the Run D. WR’s start making great catches and RB’s start breaking tackles. Coaches play-calling suddenly improves.
If we don’t upgrade our QB for 16 games in 2010, we stand ZERO chance of doing anything but getting in our own way.
January 16th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
185. Agreed. His escapability and production on the run reminds me of Rothlisberger when he’s on.

I do agree partially and I know, great is the key word but “good” QB’s like Cutler and Castle didn’t help their teams. Too soon to even begin to say either is or ever was gr4eat, but certainly good and expected to imoprove their teams to play off caliber.
Put anyone behind Oakland O line and they’re going to have trouble not only with accuracy, but staying up right.

And I think I like the under in the Cowboys game, but I hate taking unders so I more than likely won’t touch it.
I’m thinking lots of long drives, lots of 3rd downs, and more than usual FG’s. Could be a weird final score, 22-20 or something like that
————————
I’m with you. My head tells me under in that game as well. Cowboys defense is hot and the noise factor could really hamper the Cowboys offense. Both teams will try to run the ball. But I also hate taking the under on games I watch. It’s like rooting for FGs and sloppy play. I’ll do it if I have a real strong feeling — like I did today thinking a pretty good Ravens D could keep Manning & Co. somewhat in check and that a really banged up Flacco wouldn’t do much — but I prefer not to touch it otherwise.
January 16th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
Romo’s only problem is that sometimes he seems rattled, has real bad body language and becomes a little inaccurate.
Peyton was similar when he was younger and also had the “Couldn’t win the Big One” stigma for awhile.
This year, they might meet in the Super Bowl.
January 16th, 2010 at 11:30 pm
Nmamdi,
No doubt that the O-line, and our Run D needs to be improved. Almost all of our positions could use an upgrade.
I am just one of those guys that thinks if the Raiders somehow traded for Peyton Manning in March this past year, they are in the playoffs.
Maybe they get bumped in round 1, but the teams who get the best QB play seem to win these days. We all saw the upgrade even Bruce Gradkowski gave this team, and Bruce isn’t anything close to Peyton Manning.
So, we probably can’t get a Peyton anytime soon, or anything close to it. So the best bet is to bring back Bruce, try to improve EVERYTHING around him, and see if we can compete.
The sad state of the Oakland Raiders.
Good night Nation!!
January 16th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
Revis is tremendous. The guy is just an absolutely GREAT cover corner.
I still think the Chargers will find a way to put up points though. A lot of weapons. At home. And as much as we all rag on Norv for the job he’s done as HC until this year, the guy is one of the best playcallers in the game. He’s really on an elite level with just Sean Payton (and MAYBE Ken Whisenhunt despite today’s blowout) as a playcaller and gameplanner. I just don’t think the Jets will be able to shut down the Chargers offense and the Jets offense won’t have the firepower to hang.

“Indy allowed a league-low 13 sacks”. That’s one heck of a statement considering that they threw more than anyone in the league and ran the last (they were last place in Rushing yards in the ENTIRE league). So, everyone knew they were going to pass. They weren’t running well. And yet, they allowed a league-low in sacks. That’s less than 1 sack per game and Manning isn’t the most mobile QB in the league.
That’s a GREAT example of what your O-Line can do for you.

January 17th, 2010 at 5:17 am
Yep,I’m interested 2C if Langston the “Road-Grader” Walker will be switched to RG or depending on Gallery LG….Good pick-up he is.
Yep everyone knows I think we are very soft up the gut,and that must be addressed,imo
But yeah….We are much improved going into next camp
January 17th, 2010 at 5:33 am
the very biggest need on offense right now is a center…
it is very unlikely that we could draft a center that could start right away…
and this years crop of rookies doesn’t appear to have a really good center…
getting a really good center in FA is probably the one FA we really do need to find…

Hard to say, at this point, if we are much improved. HC needs to be cleared up first, and some assistants need to back their bags (Lal = LOL). The circus at QB needs to go away, we need to NOT have a soft first week of camp like we did last year. On the upside, Seymour will be in camp to help create a good mindset — let’s see what we can put around him. In a way, I am dreading the draft like some monstrous typhoon that will set us back again another few years.

Dan Williams, DT… 2nd round…
Micah Johnson, another ILB in the 3rd (3A)…
why 2 LBs you ask… ’cause with Williams, we can go 3-4… and this would give us two stub ILBs…

There was a play in the Cincy game where the Cincy RB was going off RT and Kirk was closing but,the RB gave a little juke and Kirk bit….Kirk was very close and knew he had the help close,but he shoulda DOVE at the RB.He is rarely in position at the right time and even when he is,he wont make the play.He gotta go,imo

So picture yourself as Al Davis, you have 3 Super Bowl trophies, Hall of Fame inductee, instrumental in the AFL merger.
Its now 2010. You own the worst record in the NFL the last 7 seasons and your options for a Head Coach are Rob Ryan or Tom Cable.
Of course AL is watching Norv Turner shine after being fired, he is watching Payton succeed after turning down Oakland for a job, observing Rex Ryan turn the Jets around in 1 year, of course rookie QB’s like Flacco, Sanchez, and Matt Ryan have out performed JaMarshmallow Ruffell’s.
Just win baby!

—————————————–
If that’s the case, we keep Howard. He’s one of the fastest LBs in the NFL.
But, what I’m worried about is picking Offensive line. I get the idea that Cable had his say our last 2 years of Tackle Free Agent busts who were absolutely HORRIBLE. So, I’m a bit worried on that front.
But, Langston Walker turned out looking pretty damned good at Guard – especially considering he hadn’t played it since 8 years or so in 1st year College. I would keep him and plug him in at right guard. It would mean one less hole we’d need to fill in F/A or Draft. FOR SURE I’d draft a new RT and probably try to get some competition for Henderson who gave up one of the highest sacks allowed for any tackle.
January 17th, 2010 at 6:55 am
The bottom line…Al Davis has invested Millions of dollars in young players like JaDarren Heyward-Huff.
Tom Cable has done NOTHING to develop this player. In fact he’s benched Huff and JaDavis and McFadden doesn’t get carries. Plus DHB was the worst rookie receiver in the NFL this year.
I think Davis looks at that and ask himself whether Cable is capable of developing those guys.
Now, will Cable stay? Depends on if one of the other candidates (Fassel, Ryan, Green, Harbaugh or whoever else he’s talking to…and he is talking) can convince Davis that they do have a plan for JaMichael McFadden-Bey

What else is their to talk about this team but the offseason. It sure is hell not the regular season, where all the hope is snuffed out over the 1st 4 weeks.
It really doesn’t matter at all with this team. They can’t win. Really.
I would like to see Davis just get a competent coach that can get the team competitive.
like Norco Bob, I am not going to get worked up about this team losing and just enjoy Sundays….just like I did the last 8 weeks of the past season.
Its Davis’ team. If he chooses to run it into the ditch…so be it.

Morrison vs. Howard.
I am keeping Thomas Howard. He makes a good WILL linebacker and he makes plays in the passing game.
Get a veteran run stuffer up the middle and for goodness sakes…find a real lane clogging NT that can take up blockers.
Until the Raiders address the NT and MLB…the defense will always be garbage. and it is garbage.
Unfortunately, Al Davis values speed and pass rush over braun and run stopping

****************************************
Your stats are true, no doubt about that. But let’s look deeper at it.
The Colts started 3 different guys at LT this year. The guy starting there now, Charlie Johnson, was a 6th round pick, a collegiate TE at Oklahoma State. He replaced Tony Ugoh, who replaced Tarik Glen in 2008.
Their starting guard this year, was hurt last year and didn’t take a snap in 2008. He is a 4th rounder. Jeff Saturday, the Pro Bowler, UNDRAFTED!! Kyle Devan, who had 10 starts this year, was cut by the Redskins in this offseason and was also undrafted.
So at some points in time, this great Colts O-line consisted of an undrafted C and RG, and a 6th round pick at LT. And 40% of the line changed from the year before.
The only constant is Peyton and Saturday. You can surround them with late draft picks and undrafted guys, which they did, and it still is the best O-line in football? Please. They also have one of the lowest YPC when every team in the world is invitin them to run.
Peyton is great and makes everyone around him better.

Dear Pat Robertson,
I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I’m all over that action.
But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I’m no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished.
Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth — glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven’t you seen “Crossroads”? Or “Damn Yankees”?
If I had a thing going with Haiti, there’d be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox — that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it — I’m just saying: Not how I roll.
You’re doing great work, Pat, and I don’t want to clip your wings — just, come on, you’re making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That’s working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.
Best, Satan

As a lib dem you should know their solution for any problem is to throw money down a hole.
Keep drinking those jizz cocktails with extra protein..

January 17th, 2010 at 7:50 am
Well, 4eva, from what I’ve seen on the spending by Obama, I also see a bunch of wasted money going town the tubes. The latest bill is a HUGE boost for the pharma industry which practically forces any pregnant mother to see a psychiatrist (because suddenly they’re all mentally unstable) to be drugged at government cost. It’s already a multi-trillion dollar industry.
Just look at the amount of handouts without any way to pay for them. No exchange, no increase in production of America = down the tubes.
January 17th, 2010 at 7:53 am
Is it the O-line or the QB?
Surely the Colts O-line is one of the best at pass-protecting but why? I am not convinced you could bring all those guys and put them around Jamarcus or Frye and it would make much difference.
I say an O-line is only as good as your QB. If O-line is so important, why haven’t the Colts used a 1st round pick on O-line in 10 years? Because they can draft collegiate TE’s in the 6th round, surround him with Peyton’s knowledge, decision-making and ability to read Defenses and plug him at LT with no fall off.
Amazing.

Senegal’s president says he will offer free land and “repatriation” to people affected by the earthquake in Haiti.
President Abdoulaye Wade said Haitians were sons and daughters of Africa since Haiti was founded by slaves, including some thought to be from Senegal.
“The president is offering voluntary repatriation to any Haitian that wants to return to their origin,” said Mr Wade’s spokesman, Mamadou Bemba Ndiaye.
Tuesday’s earthquake killed tens of thousands and left many more homeless.
Buildings have been reduced to rubble, the distribution of aid is slow, and people have been flooding out of the devastated capital, Port-au-Prince.
“Senegal is ready to offer them parcels of land – even an entire region. It all depends on how many Haitians come,” Mr Bemba Ndiaye said.
“If it’s just a few individuals, then we will likely offer them housing or small pieces of land. If they come en masse we are ready to give them a region.”
The spokesman emphasised that if a region was given, it would be in a fertile part of the country rather than in its parched deserts, the Associated Press news agency reported.

There’s no way Payton gets sacked only 13 times if the O-line isn’t doing their job. I don’t care how good the QB is. It will make a difference for sure as he has a quick release and can feel the pressure….but if he’s always under attack he couldn’t be as effective as he is.
January 17th, 2010 at 7:59 am
Because what 0bama is doing behind closed doors is so despicable & corrupt he doesn’t want C-Span cameras there.

Do you think the LT for the Colts, a collegiate TE, 6th round pick in his second year, is really that much better than Mario?
He is better, because Peyton MADE HIM better. The Colts had a LG who started 10 games, and was undrafted and released by the Redskins last year. Is he really any good? Only because Peyton MAKES him good.

January 17th, 2010 at 8:03 am

Sorry about that.
Manning is amazing. I think he demands the same from the Olinemen as he does from the Wide recievers and it must affect the entire team.
Did you see Garcon run Reed down from behind and punch the ball out. That was one hell of a heads up play.
A huge part of the team is Manning but I think coaching is just at much in play. Dungy put the system in and they are able to have new players step up and fill in.
It wasnt just this year, Dungy has done it for some time, including TB. Bellicheat has been able to do it for a few years at NE but I think many other facters were involved, including cheating.
In conclusion, a lot of that team success is due to Dungy.

The QB can only make the line look so good. It’s obvious if you have a bad o-line and the QB is always getting hit to the ground. Because that’s what would happen. With a horrible O-Line, even if the QB’s great you’ll see him beat up all the time as he’ll get rid of the ball just before getting hit. And I don’t see Payton hurt much or even picked up from the ground too often, so they must protect him pretty well. Maybe it’s good coaching?

I am not saying they don’t do a good job pass-blocking. They do a GREAT JOB!! But they aren’t asked to do what Jamarcus asks of his O-line. Peyton is telling his O-line who is blitzing and knows where to go with ball IMMEDIATELY after the snap. He makes there job a million times easier, hence all their success. That’s my point.
Again, you are looking at an O-line of undrafted guys and late round picks. A second year, 6th round pick who played TE in college at LT?? Unheard of.

When the Balkans were burning…where was the rest of the world…wringing its hands while Muslim Albanians and Bosnians were being slaughtered en-mass…..
Only ONE country was capable of going in there with the force to make a difference…..go there today and the place is stabalizing….you can even fly there if you wish right now.
4.1% of GDP buys a lot of stuff that gives us the ability to do things.
If you are going to criticize U.S policy, then please be specific….for example…criticize the US for the Academy of the Americas…that was a truly a dubious initiative, where the US gave military training to Latin American soldiers backing anti-communist movements, the Academy was concieved to combat Latin American Communism but had a negative effect of creating right-wing strong men and undermining the very democracy we wanted to represent…….
Its the generalist conspiracy theories…not backed up by anything but conjecture that ticks me off…AMmerican imperialism…grab for resources…BS like that..generalist stuff LMN was launching yesterday…I can say generalities about any society or nation…give me specifics before taking shots at US policy.
BTW, are you telling me that Russia, China, the UK and France don’t sell weapons?

I have an extreme dislike for the mile high mules and the crackboys.
I was in Dallas at a Texas sized bar when Theisman got his leg snapped. They were showing replays, you could see and hear his leg snap in half and the crackboys were tossing their hats and firing their guns (not really) and whooping and hollering.
I hope Brett & All Day light them up
January 17th, 2010 at 8:21 am
I heard Rodney Harrison talk about how great Peyton is at tipping off his O-lineman about who is going to blitz. He said guys that aren’t even showing blitz sometimes, but are due to blitz, would get spotted by Peyton and he would tip off his O-line,
If he knows who is coming, tells his O-lineman so, goes in shotgun and gets rid of the ball quickly and accurately, the D stands no chance. The Ravens would blitz guys yesterday, they would go UNTOUCHED and still had no effect on the play as Peyton just hit the open man underneath before they could get there.
What can you do?

I think having a good plan in Indi and sticking to it with continuity and continuing to build obviously got them to where they are today. And that did start with Dungy and it is carrying over for sure. Much better than the Raiders did after Gruden left.

I would try to take Manning out of the game by:
1- Keeping him on the bench, and try to rush for 1st downs and a few TDs.
2- shut fown his fav WRs out of the game RW and DC.
3- blitz him from the middle.

Well…..there certainly is the domino effect. Dungy taught Caldwell a good chunk of what he knows. Dungy also brought a disciplined, quality locker room that is continuing in his place. So they are continuing what Dungy had going on.
But I think Dungy was the manager of men, and a guy peoople loved to play for, but his last few years, he was on cruise-control, staying out of Peyton’s way and assisting on the defensive side of things. He didn’t call any plays and didn’t seem THAT involved with the X and O’s and all that stuff. He has his system and developed that system so well, that he could sit back and basically watch.
So you are right about it. A good chunk of their success is a continuation of what Dungy did so well for so long.

11 Clear Signs That The U.S. Economy Is Headed Into The Toilet
The vast majority of the talking heads on television are still speaking of the current economic collapse as if it is a temporary “recession” that will soon be over. So far, the vast majority of the American people seem to believe this as well, although for many Americans there is a very deep gnawing in the pit of their stomachs that is telling them that there is something very, very wrong this time around. The truth is that the foundations of the U.S. economy have been destroyed by an orgy of government, corporate and individual debt that has gone on for decades. It was the greatest party in the history of the world, but now the party is over. The following are 11 signs from just this past month that show that the U.S. economy is headed into the toilet and will not be recovering….
#1) When even Wal-Mart is closing stores you know things are bad. Wal-Mart announced on Monday that it will close 10 money-losing Sam’s Club stores and will cut 1,500 jobs in order to reduce costs. So if even Wal-Mart has to shut down stores, what chance do other retailers have?
#2) Americans are going broke at a staggering pace. 1.41 million Americans filed for personal bankruptcy in 2009 – a 32 percent increase over 2008.
#3) American workers are working harder than ever and yet making less. After adjusting for inflation, pay for production and non-supervisory workers (80 percent of the private workforce) is 9% lower than it was in 1973. But those Americans who do still have jobs are the fortunate ones.
#4) Unemployment is absolutely exploding all over the United States. Minority groups have been hit particularly hard. For example, unemployment on many U.S. Indian reservations is over 80 percent.

2- 2nd Iraq War.
3- Palestine & !srael: we don’t get really involved.
4- Russia & Sheshnia: we haven’t done anything
Do you want more examples??

Jhill,
They both play the same position, so it is a fair comparision, as far as what they ask of their O-lineman. There is a light-years difference, sure, but the point is, is their LT really that much better at LT than Mario. The guys started playing tackle 3 years ago for the first time in his life!!!
Is Kyle Devan, an undrafted G that was cut in the offseason by the Skins, really that much better than our undrafted, previously waived Cooper Carlisle? I really don’t think so, they are just in better systems, with an expert QB who makes there job easier than any other O-line in football.

#5) Unfortunately the employment situation is showing no signs of turning around. December was actually the worst month for U.S. unemployment since the so-called ”Great Recession” began.
#6) So just how bad are things when compared to past recessions? During the 2001 recession, the U.S. economy lost 2% of its jobs and it took four years to get them back. This time the U.S. economy has lost more than 5% of its jobs and there is no sign that the bleeding of jobs will stop any time soon.
#7) Can you imagine trying to get your first job in this economic climate? Our young men and women either can’t get work or have given up on work altogether. The percentage of Americans 16 to 24 who have jobs is 13 percent lower than ten years ago.
#8) So where did all the jobs go? Over the past few decades we have allowed the corporate giants to ship mountains of American jobs overseas, and there are signs that this trend is only going to get worse. In fact, Princeton University economist Alan S. Blinder estimates that 22% to 29% of all current U.S. jobs will be offshorable within two decades. So get ready for even more of our jobs to be shipped off to Mexico, China and India.
#9) All of these job losses are leading to defaults on mortgages. Over the past couple of years we have seen the American Dream in reverse. According to a report that was just released, delinquent home loans at government-controlled mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac surged 20 percent from July through September.
#10) But that is nothing compared to what is coming. A massive “second wave” of mortgage defaults is getting ready to hit the U.S. economy starting in 2010. In fact, this “second wave” is so frightening that even 60 Minutes is reporting on it.
#11) Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has announced that it made a record profit of $46.1 billion in 2009. Apparently during this economic crisis it is a very good time to be a bankster.

I don’t point the problems of other countries because I don’t live there and it doesn’t impact me personaly. I live here, so I care about fixing the issues here.
Not taking shots at America.

I normally ignore political posts and I am not sure what set me off here. I think it was LMM saying some general critique that didn’t register with me or something.
Any country of our size, scope and yes…responsibility is going to make mistakes from time to time.

Jhill,
Recruiting wise= A+
Coaching staff(so far)=A
I actually liked Kiffin when he was here. I thought he had the team playing hard and knew the strengths and weaknsesses(QB). Was he perfect? No. But he is proving to be correct in his assesment of Russell. I liked him at SC the first time and even though the way it all went down kind of feels a bit “dirty” I think he will prove to be a good coach. I would say I am a tad above optimistic about the move.

======================================================
The Soviet Union was invading Afghanistan at the time. It was seen at the time as another front on the Cold War. The US decided to arm the resistance movement (which later became the people we are fighting now) there to repel the Soviet invading force.
I don’t see anything wrong with the thought process there. Better that, than to actually fight the Soviets 1-1 and have a nuclear war.
Now, the problem was/is, that when the Soviets pulled away from Afghanistan, the US didn’t attempt to provide political/economic support that could have prevented them from descending into what it became today.
Amazingly, I don’t understand why the Islamic fighters at the time didn’t realize the support the US was giving to fight “godless” communism at the time.
But it is what it is

January 17th, 2010 at 8:55 am
If you could ask the President one question, what would yours be?
All this trouble seemed to start with the electronic run on the banks of Sept. 18, 2008.
If nothing sinister was at work, then why so much secrecy concerning the destination of this $550 billion in money withdrawn on Thursday, Sept. 18, and who was responsible for redirecting these funds out of the U.S. money markets.
January 17th, 2010 at 8:59 am
SnB,
I think they did, but at that point they didn’t care. They were being killed by the thousands. They needed weapons and the US gave it to them.
We gave weapons to kids and farmers, and then left them to kill each other after we had no nterest in the USSR.
You don’t see a problem with that?!? When will you see?!? After 9/11?!?!!!!
We need to do better for ourselves!!!!
January 17th, 2010 at 8:59 am
$550 billion was drained away from the American economy, the consequences of which we suffer to this day.
The exact contours of this event were described by Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) on C-SPAN on Wednesday, Feb. 11, two days after the 200th anniversary of Abe Lincoln’s birth.
An enraged caller had just erupted over the ill-advised $700 billion bailout a few months earlier and Rep. Kanjorski felt pressed to reveal what Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke had told Congress behind closed doors, which so shocked them into supporting this mind-bogglingly huge bailout.
“On Thursday [Sept. 18, 2008] at about 11 o’clock in the morning,” Kanjorski began, “the Federal Reserve noticed the tremendous drawdown of money market accounts in the United States to the tune of $550 billion dollars being drawn out in a matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to help. It pumped $105 billion in the system and quickly realized that they could not stem the tide.”
At that point, officials realized, Kanjorski relates, “We were having an electronic run on the banks.”
In response, Kanjorski continued, “They decided to close the operation, close down the money accounts and announce a guarantee of $250,000 per account so there wouldn’t be further panic out there and that’s what actually happened.”
And, if nothing had been done, Kanjorski revealed, “their estimation was that by two o’clock that afternoon, five and 1/2 trillion dollars would have been drawn out of the money market system of the United States, would have collapsed the entire economy of the United States and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed (which would have meant) … the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it.”

And the Oline comparison are probably dead on. Since we don’t have Peyton, and like the other 31 teams, won’t be getting him or anything close to him, upgrade the Oline.
**********************************
No doubt, no doubt what-so-ever.
The best way for this team to start competing, since the easiest way is to get an elite QB and that probably isn’t happening, is to fix the O-line and the D. I never disagreed with that, but I would say Run D has to be number one priority.
We should try to be like the Ravens, Titans, Panthers and Jets the last few years. Have a great regular season, than get pasted in the playoffs because you have no QB.
Where we are at, I would gladly take it.

Here is something to reflect upon.. Since Gruden left can we honestly say that any players the Raiders drafted have worked hard and become better players..I have only 4 in mind Namdi, Schillens,Huff(finally), and maybe Fargus. Other than that slim pickins guys, thats the real issue here, our players when they put on that silver and black are not getting better… So truth is i have seen Raider mock drafts selecting Anthony Davis of Rutgers.. Resounding no from me, he has great coaching and in 2-3 yrs he is still the same player he was in high school. The Patriots bring folks in and make them better players.. It is not rocket science draft guys that have heart, are hungry, and are dying to get better. Dont give me one more prima donna with this posse that thinks he is the man.. Lets get our ship righted with some good scouting, great character interviews, and maybe coaches that can empower people..
January 17th, 2010 at 9:49 am
Dont rule out Jim Harbaugh,…stranger things have happened, especially in Alameda,..my hope is we go 2-14 in 2010, with Cable,..then Gruden comes back for the 2011 year, but then there will be a lockout for sure,..oh well,..I wouldnt mind a lockout this year….a long one.

January 16th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Personally, I think Cable is gone, who is he replaced with? I dont know but I dont want a college coach like Jim Harbaugh or Mike Leach. Get me a Jim Fassel or Kevin Gilbride. As far as assistants, I would love AL to get free agents assistant like Sherman Smith who could resurrect DMAC career and enhance M Bush game. Maybe keep Paul HAckett but definitely replace Sanjay Lal with Falcons Wide Receiver coach Terry Robiskie who coached the raiders in the 70s, an experienced coach is needed for louis murphy and dhb.
^^^^^^^^^^
Harbaugh is not just your regular college coach guy.
He played pro football for like 13 years and knows the pro game probably more than his older brother John in B-More. Plus Jim has more head coaching experience than his brother did.
Trust me….John Harbaugh knows what the NFL is all about!
January 17th, 2010 at 11:08 am
Mike Leach would get eaten alive in the NFL as a head coach. Fassel and Gilbride will do nothing for this franchise or team in the long term.
The Raiders need to look to make a significant upgrade that will bring positive energy and enthusiasim to the franchise and team.
I believe hiring Gruden, Harbaugh or Garrett would be the ones to turn the ship around due to the passion, expereince, energy and upside.
January 17th, 2010 at 11:10 am
If somehow Davis landed Jim Harbaugh, in my opinion the bad times are over….but extreme longshot Harbaugh comes here. But, never know.
January 17th, 2010 at 11:12 am
Garrett may come, if Bum`s son gets extended, wont wait forever…but I wouldnt want him.
January 17th, 2010 at 11:18 am
Whoever is the play caller next year needs to start utilizing and perfecting SCREEN plays!
Screens to DMC, Bush, DHB, JLH and Murphy are VITAL weapons. They are extensions of the running game and they keep defenses off balance.

January 17th, 2010 at 11:29 am
balance sort of like New orleans, and san diego…
January 17th, 2010 at 11:30 am
Agree with you Thec…
The only bit of hope I have is Harbaugh coming here…but like NB said, very unlikely….regardless, Cable has to go and will go.
Davis is thinking “who will be the best coach to develop all the young busts I have drafted”
Is that Cable? The guy benched JaDavis (rightfully so by the way), limited DMAC, and DHB is the worst rookie receiver in 2009…Huff? He still is only a spot starter and frequently plays behind Eugene.
I say move Cable on. He needs a bunch of veterans and is kind of Gruden like in his total inability to develop the youth.
I think Fassel or Gilbride would do a BETTER job than this Cable guy.
As for JaDavis, if he is to have any chance, it will probably require a fresh set of eyes….not saying that JaDavis has much of a chance anyway

The delay is because Davis fiddles while the Nation burns…..he has no concept of timing and the need to move fast to get talent.
Hopefully Davis gets a new coach….anyone..I have no confidence in Cable. None. And you can bet that Gradkowski will be GIVEN the job should Cable stay and will become another Cable Guy…just like Eugene, Fargas, Green etc….and you know how hard it is to move a Cable Guy.
What is needed at this point is a fresh set of eyes on this thing…someone new…even a retread like Fassel. He’s been a head coach in the NFL and had success..plus he knows QBs and will do a better job than Cable of assessing the talent.
Hell, maybe a guy like Losman flourishes with a Fassel or Gilbride……

^^^^^^^^^^^
Of course potential coaches will say they can revive Juggs….even if they don’t truly believe it. They want a bigger paycheck then what they already are getting! LOL…
Nah…but seriously….if Juggs is serious about turning things around, he needs to take steps to prove he is serious. This off season he needs to hire a personal trainer first of all and lose 15-20 pounds and get in the best shape of his life.
Then he needs to work with a QB coach and work on footwork, scanning the field, and fundamentals along with the personal trainer to prepare him for camp and show the coaches he is serious about turning it around.
He also needs to accept a paycut.
January 17th, 2010 at 11:49 am

January 17th, 2010 at 11:51 am

You remember last year, some of us in here identified Loadholt as a 2nd rounder and Brinkley as a 4th rounder? The Vikes know how to draft. The old man needs to hire on of the Vikes personnel guys or main scouting guys as the personnel man here.
I remember after the draft, how pissed were last year. It proved that us fans in the Nation and old stupid man Al and his cronies beneath him are on waaaay different pages when it comes to drafting and personnel. It was sad…..
January 17th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
if the Raiders do decide a change at HC is going to be made(which over 80% of the fans don’t think should happen) you can be sure it will be someone most have never heard of or who is a young asst. few know of.the Rat,Chuckie,Payton,even Lance-all virtual unknowns when the old man wanted them.
January 17th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Lefty12,
This came from the mouth of cable…
Cable conceded he may have spread himself too thin and sounded open to delegating some duties _ including play-calling _ if postseason analysis proves that would be the right path.
So who’s twisting Bruh?????
January 17th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
I would take Lesilie frazier or winston moss as HC…
January 17th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
So we all agree than that cable was a “good play caller”….
January 17th, 2010 at 12:08 pm
cable, play calling worst than the Bed and Breakfast O.
January 17th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
cable, who is a line coach was calling our offensive plays….ROFLMAO…

^^^^^^^^^^^
No…he was inconsistently below average. Then again Juggs play didn’t help him the first half of the season. Juggs should have been replaced in week 4.
If Cable stays….an O-Coordinator/Play caller is needed to take over play calling duties…..without a doubt along with a new GM/Personnel guy needing to be hired.
January 17th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
We get a GM first orde of business fire the cable guy…
next cut BRL, and DHB…
January 17th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
Thec-Cable also said he thought he did a good to great job calling plays.he then said he would be open to hiring someone to calling the plays-meaning if that is what the old man wants i have no choice but to go along if it means i keep my job.you are correct-he would be open to hiring someone.that doesn’t equate to him admitting he was ‘over his head’.

No it wasn’t…..the bed and breakfast offense was one of the worst offenses EVER IMO.
Hence why the team earned the #1 pick after that debacle of a season and I think they only won 2 games that year with Shell and Walsh 2!
Terrible….
January 17th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
The B&B offense was worse than Cable’s play calling. IMHO
January 17th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
cable had more offensive weopons than the b&b…
didnt know squat about how to use them….
January 17th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
cable worse IMO….
January 17th, 2010 at 12:19 pm
Hopefully Davis gets a new coach….anyone..I have no confidence in Cable. None. And you can bet that Gradkowski will be GIVEN the job should Cable stay and will become another Cable Guy…just like Eugene, Fargas, Green etc….and you know how hard it is to move a Cable Guy.

Cable: “I learned be careful about trying to do too much. I’ll put that at the top of the list. Be careful about trying to do too much as the head coach. You gotta do a lot. You gotta have your hand on everything.
But I think I’ve always been one to just roll ‘em up and go at it, whatever needs to be done, get in and get it done. I think that’s why you have the coaches you have and the staff you have and those kind of things. So I’d say that’d be at the top of my list.”
Q: Did you overextend yourself at times?
Cable: Yeah, I think you can sometimes do so much that you’re not good at the things you should be, you know?
Q: Are you open to having someone else call the plays?
Cable: Oh, yeah. At the end of the day I’ll do what’s best, for sure. For sure.

January 17th, 2010 at 12:30 pm

Harbaugh played professional football as a QB. His brother is a head coach in Baltimore his father was a coach. I don’t know if he is too qualified to be the Raiders coach or not. But, I actually would take him right now.
January 17th, 2010 at 12:31 pm

^^^^^^^^^^
Harbaugh hasn’t coached in the NFL yet obviously….but he is a hot commodity for a reason. He has built winners everywhere he has coached and has done more with less talent at the places he has coached.
Harbaugh did more as a player than anyone of those guys you listed.
He has more experience as a head coach than the guy I compare him to Mike Singletary.
Him and Singletary have very similar traits as coaches….it’s just Harbaugh has the QB/Offensive background compared to Singletary having the MLB/Defensive background.
Plus Jims’s father was a coach and I’m sure he has learned some by watching is brother in B-More and being on the sidelines during his bros games. Jim Harbaugh knows what it takes to WIN in the NFL…..I have no doubt about that and his future is being a head coach in the NFL.

You know what. We’re sitting here arguing about getting a new coach, or getting a new coordinator….but I’d like to see us DO SOMETHING! We definitely need some change. I think with Russell not being forced into the starting line up with Droppius Hayward Bay we would’ve been a HELLOVA lot better. And with an Offensive Coordinator so Cable doesn’t think he has to do everything and someone can concentrate on Offensive personnel utilization and playcalling I’d be fine.
Or get a really good head coach. Either way, we gotta hire an O-Coordinator or Head Coach FOR SURE.

Al’s no-blitz defensive philosophy is on full display in Minnesota today. Of course, for it to work you need to be able to get to the QB consistently with your front 4. Something we haven’t been able to do really since the days of Howie Long and Lyle Alzado.
It’s great if you have the horses on the d-line to do it. 7 guys in coverage while the pocket crashes down around the QB. But the reality is that just about every team — and definitely the Raiders — need to blitz to get pressure.
A great pure pass rusher is something I think we need to add in this draft. Not necessarily in Round 1. I’ve seen some mocks giving us the guy from Georgia Tech who I saw in their bowl game and was unimpressed. Maybe some small school guy in the later rounds who is a pure speed rushing DE would be nice though.

RaiderDogg,
once Dakota gets his boy McF a job at the Kum & Go he should be free to delve into getting MBush better.
OC? Me? 4 yards and a cloud of dust is my vision.”
Exactly why you are being targeted as the next OC. Just left Steve Wisnewski a message, hopefully he will be interested in coaching the O-Line. Also targeting Romo to be the LB Coach.
Excellent point about Reggie Bush btw. There is hope for McFadden yet…

January 17th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Al Davis has been on his death bed for 10 years. When I watched that press conference where he fired Kiffin, I saw a guy who needed to be in the hospital then. Al’s always gravely ill, rather he’s in the hospital or driving his cart around.
January 17th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Awww, you got MR all hot and bothered.
January 17th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Ooooh, you called me hot and bothered. Devastating.
January 17th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Bo, do you want Al Davis to stay alive? I don’t wish death on him, but at the same time, I’m not exactly cheering for him to pull through, either. The longer he’s alive, the longer your team sucks. That’s a fact.
January 17th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
The option doesn’t work in the NFL, Rex. You’re starting to look like your brother now.

Why would I hate the Raiders? The Raiders make up a bout a hundred people, when you consider the roster, staff, management, etc. I hate the way the Raiders are managed, and will mock that management and that culture until it changes, though, that I’ll admit. But I don’t hate the Raiders.
January 17th, 2010 at 2:38 pm

LOL. he’s switching screen names. Bet you AIG or Seymour pops up any second…
January 17th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
Jason Garrett is available now as a head coaching candidate but the old looney man Al probably won’t try to get him….he has his own demented twisted list of underwhelming coaching candidates I’m sure.
I think Garrett would be able to work well with Gradkowski here.
Grads plays the game very similar to the way Romo plays. Maybe not have the strongest arm, but has good work ethic, good leadership skills, has good pocket awareness, good footwork, can scramble out trouble and is accurate on his throws.
January 17th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
DK
Jerry Jones will hire Garrett as HC before he lets him walk…
January 17th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
Garret has too much potential. He’d never work for Davis without a contract that guaranteed control and money. Retreads is the best we’re going to do, and as fans, all we can do is hope the retread will stand up to Al. We know Cable wont, so ship this woman beating bum out and start fresh. We’re starting from zero anyway. We haven’t improved one bit from last year. Just more chaos.

Wade Phillips is a more likely candidate for us. LOL.

Yeh. It’s one of those things where the more he tries not to look like Captain Kangaroo, the more he looks like him. He just has to embrace it.
January 17th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Keep Cable, FIRE AL!!!!
January 17th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Cable’s worthless. He belongs on a sled.
January 17th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Come to think of it, I have never seen the Captain and Wade in the same room at the same time.
January 17th, 2010 at 3:05 pm
If a bunch of people were in a room with Wade telling him he looked like Captain Kangaroo, and he started getting mad? He would look even more like him. It’s one of those things.
January 17th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Personally I think that Mr. Green Jeans is a far superior coach. He just can’t handle the daily grind that is the NFL.
OK that was bad…
January 17th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
John Herrera kind of has that captain kangaroo thing going, too.
January 17th, 2010 at 3:08 pm

LOL. I thought you were talking about Vince McMahon, from wrestling. I think I need to pay attention. Actually, yes…John Herrera pretty much is the NFL’s Ed McMahon. but Al a Johnny Carson? I dunno. Herrera actually looks a lot more like Jay Leno. Picture Jay Leno going through some weird mid life phase where he’s trying to act tough, like he can really fight. And you have John Herrera.

Considering that Phillip’s is a defensive guy and his team just gave up 30+ points in the playoffs, I’d say he’s done.

So since you heard that BIG change is coming (allegedly)…..who will be on the usual depressing list of coaches to replace Cable?
Trestman, Fassel, Moss, Gilbride?
Those names are not the kind of big change that is needed.
Those guys represent more the of same spin the wheels type of move that will holdover until the old man Al dies.

Marvin Lewis, Coach of the Year. Blew two timeouts and both challenges on bogus thoughts in the first ten minutes of the playoffs.

Best day of the year so far…….
January 17th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Actually, a nice topper to this season would be seeing FORMER Chargers QB Drew Brees hoist the Lombardi over his head in February. That would be SWEET.

I haven’t seen him post all year!!! He probably will though…

Where is charged up now? Little beotch is just like Rivers. Tucking his tail between his legs.
LMFAO at the chokers.

Why don’t you guys riot? This is the closest you’re going to get to a Raider super bowl victory again, so might as well.

January 17th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
They would have had a better chance if Turner would have kicked it off instead of the onside.

Norv Turner is a deuche bag. Ya…. I don’t miss him at all.

Did you hear that thud at 4:57pm local time….
That was the Chokers SB window slamming shut…lol…
January 17th, 2010 at 5:18 pm
Oh well..I was arguing with a friend online about SD….now he won’t return my posts…oh well!!!

You are a straight kill joy MR. You’re a charger fan aren’t you??? But its a shame because you spend ya whole life on a raiders blog… and don’t tell me you’re a raider fan because you hate on every thing raider. You hate al davis, talk trash about the team when they win, bash all raider players, hate fellow “football fans” (because you’re not a raider fan) when they cheer when a rival team loses.smh Do us real raider fans a favor and find another blog please.lol You never say anything thats valid besides al needs to step down and it doesn’t take a raider fan to say that.(;

January 17th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Norval screwed up with the onside. Sanchize grounded the ball for no reason with a minute to go in the half. Receiver kicks red flag for no reason. SD D-end headbutts for no reason. Gates drops ball for no reason. Ain’t jes da raiduhs exhibiting boneheadedness in a game.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Yeah but the difference is this game of boneheaded plays by SD will be forgotten, but not the Raiders plays…

The Great L.Tomlinson 12 carries for 24 yeards.Way to go Choker!!!! Gee,I Wonder if he could stop crying and step up to the podium.I want to see his face when he’s being ask all of those questions by those hungry reporters or is he going to run and hide.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
I’m not a killjoy, Cable. You just cling to the most disposable things for joy, like an NFL team that’s a rival of your team losing a playoff game.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
He’ll probabaly hide for a bit…while he contemplates his future. I don’t think he’ll be back next year!!!
January 17th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
LMAO. First the Romos and then the (oh did you see the look on LT’s face) Rivers.
personally, for the first time in my life there is not a single team left of the four that I despise.
Aints. Fine by me.
Favres. Go for it old man!
Peytons. Class act.

January 17th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Umm… Madden Hater you just responded.smh Besides I really don’t care if you respond… just want you to get the message. I really don’t like you, and its funny because i’ve never seen you a day in my life nor have I held a true conversation with you but I can’t stand you… You’re just so negative its irritating. You’re always trying to rain on someones parade for no reason.smh
January 17th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
MR,
I was a Cotton Davidson and Art Powell fan as a boy. You?
January 17th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Cable’s pleasure hand,
I didn’t respond to any of your points. I just pointed out how retarded you sounded. What I meant was that I will respond to the actual subject and points within your comment when you learn to stop being a retard. OK?
January 17th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Yup…Nate Kaeding missed all 3 FG’s? Wow…he should decline the Pro Bowl for that one!
And yes…I have no problem with anyone in the final 4 for the first time in awhile!
And, LT needs to be released…
January 17th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
Lonetree, you’re a dumbass liar. Nobody was a Raider fan back when Cotton Davidson was playing. AFL was practically on existent. Just gave yourself up, moron. Should have played it safe and said you grew up on Stabler. Only AFL enthusiasts, people involved with the league, etc, really followed the AFL in it’s early years. Learn how to lie, idiot.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
I thought we were bad here but we cant touch pissed off charger fans. They are defacing wiki
Nate Kaeding and his wife, Samantha, have two sons, Choke (born on May 7th, 2008)[3] and Gag (born on August 17th, 2009)[4].
————————————–
Everyone deface Nate Kaeding and Norv Turner’s wikipedia pages.
—————————-
Fans are taking to Kaeding’s Wiki Page. LOL
“The Chokerville, Iowa native played college football at the University of Iowa, where he won the Lou Groza Award in 2002 and is the all time leading scorer. Fans have given him the nicknames of “Big Shank Nate” and “Mr. Choke Artist”, because he was the worst playoff kicker in the history of the NFL. He had lived up to the nickname even in high school “
January 17th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
MR, I’ve been a fan since 1964, you weren’t even a shine in your mom’s eye then…. Back down…
January 17th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
Have you ever heard of bragging rights MR??? If the chargers win that gives their fans bragging rights and ammo for their fans to talk trash against raider fans.The chargers losing gives raider fans bragging rights to talk about charger fans. We’re(raider fans) not gaining a championship or anything but we gain something which is bragging rights to use against losers like charged up when they come talking that non-sense against the raiders.
But like my grandmother use to tell me if you don’t have anything good to say son… don’t say anything at all, and if you speak nothing but hate you make people hate you… true story(;

Bragging rights?
You watched today’s game for bragging rights, Cable’s pleasure hand?
Bragging Rights??!?!?!?!!?!?
WTF can you, as a Raider fan, brag about no matter how today’s outcome is?
What can you say as a Raider fan about today’s game where almost anyone wouldn’t respond by saying, “uh, who did the Raiders beat today? As a matter of fact, when is the last time the Raiders even played in the middle of January?”.
Bragging rights?
(in my best Jim Mora…)
BRAGGING RIGHTS?!?!

January 17th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
You guys saying you were fans when Cotton played need to cut the s’t. If you guys really wanted to pretend you were old school fans, you should have just played it safe with the Stabler era. The few hundred people who were die hard Raider fans when Cotton Davidson played are already dead. Stop being stupid. You guys are LA Raider fans. Came on board when the Raider culture became more about acting hard and dressing in goofy costumes than winning. I can tell.

January 17th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
OK, Cable, I did get the message about me killing your joy. Your problem is that you cling to such fragile things for joy. Your life is so miserable that the only joy you can find is an NFL team that’s a rival of your favorite team losing a playoff game. You kill your own joy by clinging to such disposable things for joy. That’s why it’s so easy for me to kill it.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
MR,
being a sorry excuse for an incarnation as you portray yourself to be does it any way acknowledge that some of us were out there rooting for Clem Daniels and Tom Flores against the likes of Jack Kemp and Cookie Gilchrist or Babe Parelli and Jim Nance. Sitting there in the rain on the bleacher seats watching ‘em play in the mud of Fank Youell.
I do believe that you should remain in the “speak only when spoken to” category with regards to football in the 1960’s.
And then there was Ryan and Jim Brown over in Kezar against the Miners. Helluva running back. Ever seen him play in person?
When you don’t have a clue leave it alone.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Haha! Because he cannot win the big game…and he got snubbed for COY…enjoy all!!!
January 17th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
Did I stutter??? Yes bragging rights. Raiders didn’t earn them, chargers lost them… and I watched todays football hgame because im a football fan. And yes I can brag even being a raider fan because at the end of the day the chargers went home just like the raiders without a lombardi trophy in their cabinet and I love it.(; And when the raiders do go home there’s three shiny big ones in their cabinet while the charges still have none.(;Bang!
January 17th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
Todd, got a birth certificate to prove that? Oh, I’ll play this game, too. My dob is…let’s see? hmm, I’ll go with 2/22/46. There. If we can just make claims about our personal lives without any proof, I’ll play.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
Cable’s pleasure hand, the only bragging rights that any Raider fan clinging to the joy of an SD loss today has is that he’s not dead.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
Ooooh, Lonetree went and googled some names of AFL players. What a dork!
January 17th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Most fans that go back to the Raiders’ old AFL days have given up, long ago. Only the former players that Al still keeps on the payroll haven’t. You die hard loyalists are LA guys.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Lonetree,I remember Tom Flores at QB as well as Cotton Davidson ,I recall 49er fans saying the AFL was junk and would never last,how can you be a fan of the Raiders,the League (AFL)inferior,etc.I remember listening on the Radio and enjoying high scoring games,became hooked and loved the Jets winning against the Colts w/ Joes guarantee.Long time ago!
January 17th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
No Im still happy the chargers lost, I just earned 50 bucks because I knew the chargers were going to lose.So you aint kill my joy.lol Im just saying you’re a kill joy because whenever someone celebrates any type of victory in here you have something negative to say. Trust me if anybody’s miserable its you.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
Oh my god, do you guys think you’re fooling anyone? Just quit it. Then again, “gilbert” is probably just another screen name lonetree is posting under. My god you guys are retards.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
MR, look over past posts, it’s no lie, yea I’m old, but 54 isnt real old, lol, but it’s real, get over it.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
You didn’t have money on this game, Cable’s jerk off hand. You would have said that at first. You sit there and try to explain your right to brag for the past half hour, then suddenly you turn and say that you’re just happy because you won a bet. STFU. You guys are the worst liars on the face of the earth. You can’t even lie to yourselves.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
Todd, you might be 90, but you were not a Raider fan when Cotton Davison was playing.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
You are right MR, but AD is real old, I’m not!:)

January 17th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
haha why so mad MR??? Cus Im tellin the truth??? And cables jerk off hand is better than your retard insult.(; I like it. Nice to see you’re taking my advice and staying away from the corny pre-school insults. But I have no reason to lie. Who the hell are you???lol I just didn’t mention it because it was irrelavent. I was speaking in terms of bragging rights because of what it may have meant to others on here. Cuz I could care less about what you think I just don’t like how you always try and dis other true fans when its un-call for.
January 17th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
THE SAN DIEGO CHOKERS OF LOS ANGELES. No Probowl for Seabass, but that dackbag loser from SD is going?
January 17th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
I personally think Revis is better than Nnamdi in coverage, his skill level is very unique, but as a Raider, I wish AL payed Charles Woodson and played Nnamdi opposite Woodson, two shut down corners and good pass rushing, our defense would be good. You guys saw how Revis with Sheppard were shutting down Chokers Wrs. Thats what we need but of course we need to stop the run and replace Kelly, Warren and Morrison. I hope we can trade with Chicago and get Tommie Harris and Urlacher for a two second rounders. All we need to do is draft another DT and then focus on OL, CB and maybe a WRs. Dez Bryant sounds like a good pick as 8th overall pick.
January 17th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Who here is responsible for Cable’s pleasure hand? Any of you roommates with him? Have his doctor up his ritalin dosage, for everyone’s sake.
January 17th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
MR, I predate Vince in 67 and 68, listened to those SB games in a frozen corn field, hovering from the wind, with a 9 transistor radio, do remember those?
January 17th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
Raiders4eve, only Al Davis would split up C.Woodson/Asomugha. But of course his loyalists will talk about how Woodson “wanted to leave”, blah blah.
January 17th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
No, TC. I guess I’m not a real fan because I wasn’t out at Frank Youell field in the ’60s. You got me. (sigh)
January 17th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
You guys might have just persuaded me to throw in that old history of the Raiders DVD. HAven’t watched it on my new t.v. yet. Is it enhanced for 16×9?
January 17th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
I’m on you’re side MR, just older, sigh……..lol
January 17th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
MR,
I don’t google anything. Yourself? Do you have any clue who these people were?
When there was a fundraiser for Assassin I was talking with Howie Williams in the parking lot. I asked him how it was to face down the likes of Gilchrist and Nance. (Think Christian “The Nigerian Nightmare” Okoye.) He was glad to know what he had faced in his career as a DB.
was there the first game in the Oak Coli. Chiefs smashed da raiduhs.
went to every game (for three bucks a seat in the North Endzone near to Del Courtney’s Orchestra) the first year they went to the Super Bowl.
Heidi Game. Scalper tickets in the SW endzone right where Charlie Smith caught that Lamonica pass after NBC wen to te movie. And then it was Preston Ridlehuber on the ensuing kickoff. (My father called him “tough name”)
A monster game from Hewritt Dixon in the AFL champ game set up that first SB appearance, but what I remember to this day is a helmet to helmet that Bill Laskey put on a Houston Player during a kickoff. Both playes were laid out but the sound was audible 35 rows up.
Sea of Hands. yep. I was there. I remember when #32 (what was his name? Bennie something. Malone?) scored for the ‘fins with just under two minutes to go my father whispered to me, “they left too much time.”
ya know, the most rockin’ I ever heard the place was when Ol’ George kicked that 52 yarder against the Browns.
On and on it goes.
Disrespecting people because of ignorance is a human plight, I understand that, but why flaunt your ignorance in doing so?
January 17th, 2010 at 6:11 pm
Only person who has a problem with me is you MR… But who do you get along with??? You’re an idiot. Oh im a raiders fan but enjoy watchin the chargers win games, Ima raiders fan but sure wwould love to see the chargers win a superbowl??? wtf Any raider fan gets pleasure out of seeing another team in the west lose. But I am now going into ignore mode because i’ve said my piece, and I don’t have to show the nation you’re an weenie.lol
January 17th, 2010 at 6:12 pm
Cable’s clammy pleasure hand, take a deep breath and let it go, man. You’re too easy.

January 17th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
860Todd,
there is nothing to hope for from any converse with the MR. He hates. He attempts to be viable. He fails. He is only here because he has nothing in life except a hatred for Al Davis.
Maintaining that much hatred for another individual is either a familial thing, a sexual thing or a religious thing. Don’t bother about the MR. He has issues.
January 17th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
I thought this was a discussion blog, not for some fruitcups argue like a bunch of whinner fans……….
January 17th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Lonetree, Al Davis is the worst person in pro sports, hands down. And the Raiders will never win more than 5 games again until he’s dead.
January 17th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
Considering how bad the Jets beat the Raiders this year, I just don’t see where Raider fans get any bragging rights from this. Charger fans have a bottomless cup of comebacks against Raider fans talking smack today. It’s been too many years since the Raiders have had anything to brag about.
January 17th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Suddenly, LT’s not half the runner he used to be,
oh I believed in Kaeding yesterday
why they had to fail, I don’t know, I couldn’t say,
oh I believed in Philip yesterday

January 17th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
This team is in shambles, dont blame Cable, we have a very good youth movement, we need O and D lines, a menacing DB, and we are competing, lets see what AL does in the draft. Can we all agree on that? WE are a Raiders family!
January 17th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Lonetree, you finally found your calling. Not exactly SNL material, but better than sitting in here and trying to give people guilt trips for not pretending SD’s loss today equals a Super Bowl victory for us.
January 17th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
MR, but it was sweet, lol!
January 17th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Todd, you have to blame CAble for not taking a stand. Head coaches have a lot of vested power that Al can’t take away. Sure, Cable can’t draft anyone. But he can just work the s’t out of the players and get them into shape. He can take control of the locker room, and Al can’t fire him for cause because of it. You have to prove that cause stuff in arbitration. You can’t fire a coach for cause just for coaching. Cable has not stepped up. He’s doing everything Al tells him to do, and he lobbied for Grad to start over Russell way too late. Cable is worthless. Another DAvis puppet. We just have to try again with another retread or nobody, see if they have the sack to stand up to Al. And don’t give me this continuity argument. Continuity of what? We went from 5-11 to 5-11. We’ve continued sucking, and that’s it.

Why would the Raiders franchise a kicker when they have Syemour as a free agent along with howard and Morrison?
January 17th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
We were screwed by the refs. Unbelievable!!!! Seriously, the league has it in for the Chargers. There is no doubt that the Chargers were the better team today. If wasn’t for terrible calls by the refs, we would be on our way to the Super Bowl. Jes*s Frigging Christ!!!!
January 17th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
While we as Raiders fan perhaps cannot use the Chargers loss for rubbing in their faces (not that I expect to see any of the Charger “supporters” from this blog here for awhile now) at least we, as football fans — and more importantly knowledgeable fans of the Chargers weaknesses and the Jets being vastly underrated — we’re able to correctly pick the Jets on the money line at +340 this afternoon. Thank you Chargers for choking and paying for my entire weekend trip to Reno this weekend on that bet

You all didn’t come to play….another year goes by in your limited window…still no Super Bowls…..you lost to a 5th seed team at home…you guys just aren’t a Super Bowl caliber franchise.
And as you know, when that window closes, you just don’t know when its going to open again….
We know that better than anyone…..

True…just like last year when it came down to Asomugha and Lechler…hopefully Al pulls another rabbit out of the hat….LOL
Hopefully Janikowski doesn’t want to test the waters and will sign a contract.
Right now, he is the best offensive player on the team.
Seymour…I guess we have to re-sign him…the run defense was still garbage with him in there
January 17th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
We’ll be back next year. Don’t get your heads down Charger Nation! We have to persevere just like those poor people in Haiti. Rivers won’t let that happen. Next year is our time soon as we get rid of Norv. Maybe we can get Kiffin.

Chargers were flat IMO
I thought they would really do more damage on Offense… but they became one dimensional out of the shotgun…
they looked tight, flat, nervous…
Jets are oportunistic, but will loose by 21 at Colts…
January 17th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
And the Jets beat the Dolts & the Refs.
Everyone in here knows it WAS a fumble……..not an incomplete pass.

Seymour is DE in 3-4 and should be DT in 4-3, stupid AL makes him DE how in the world would he stop the run as a RDE? if you noticed they barely ran his side and they pounded the middle and Ellis side. We have two useless DTs in Warren and Kelly, especially Kelly not worth a roster spot, Warren should only be a backup in passing situations. Here is my plan if I was in AL’s position. Chicago doesnt have a first rounder (Cutler trade) and a second rounder (Gaines trade), I also think they dont have a third rounder but not sure abt that, anyways, Tommie Harris is clearly in dog house and Urlacher is been replaced by Briggs so they clearly dont need those two picks. We can trade them two second rounders 2010 and 2011. Our Defensive line would be Ellis, Harris, Seymour, Scott. Our Lbs would be if we resign morrison and howard SLB Morrison (a position that fits him better), MLB Urlacher and WLB Howard. Our defense is set. With the remaining draft picks we can draft RT, RG, C with the first and two third rounders. We could also draft CB, Wrs and QB with the lower picks. That is a path to resurrection that I think is implementable especially since Chicago needs some picks to solve their aging OL.
January 17th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
I think the chargers lacked a good running game…
Adday is a better RB at this point than LT/Sprowles…
Look for Colts to take Sanchez to the wood shed

January 17th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
screwed by the refs=lmfao.Sure,the refs selected to try an on sides kick when you should have kicked deep thereby letting the Jets go for it on 4th down instead of having to punt.The refs forced you to play conservatively the whole game thinking you could score at will and win at the end of the game if need be.I’ll give it to you that you probably had more talent,but you BLEW IT and it couldn’t make Raider fans happier.

Now we see why the Chargers wanted to trade for Michael Bush last year….if Cable is brought back, look for that trade to happen…since Cable believes that Justin Fargas is a top 10 back and that McFadden is a beast up the middle
January 17th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
Raiders4eve Says,
I hear you. The Raiders run defense will be bad for a long time. Their philosophy is to get up by double digit points and then force the opponent to have to pass the ball each down…thereby allowing our speedy and stoutless players the ability to rush the passer and blanket the opponent in the secondary
January 17th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Chargers are really garbage. Being a Raider fan right now is terrible…but at least we aren’t throwing away prime opportunity.
Chargers, you are squandering your window and before you know it, you will look a lot like we do now, and hopefully we will be a .500 team

How sad is it when the once mighty Raiders are reduced to cheering for Charger losses. San Diego has won four straight conference championships, 14 straight against the Raiders, and when the season is over the people still get to live in San Diego instead of Oakland. All in all, that’s not too bad.
January 17th, 2010 at 7:54 pm
Chargers need to get rid of LT and just make Sproles their premiere back, and use him like how we used Garner in ‘02. The beauty of it is that they have an owner in their division dumb enough to give away half of his team for LT. Guess who it is.
January 17th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Who wants to bet that if SD offered up Tomlinson for Nnamdi, straight up, Al would take it?
January 17th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
so you are admitting McFadden isn’t a premiere RB because premiere RBs should be able to run wherever he is called upon to run.he should also be able to READ where he should take the ball.most running plays call for the RB to make reads and then either bust it up or break it out.did you see ‘little’ R. Bush lower his shoulders and get yds after contact?have you ever seen McFadden do that?have you ever seen McFadden read a run the way Bush did on his TD run?It doesn’t seem to bother C.Johnson when he is asked to run up the middle.aAs far as M.Bush goes,it probably isn’t his call.Cable had a hard enough time convincing the old man the anchor should be benched.As the saying goes-one brick at a time!

Guarantee lock next week, Pick the Colts bet big.
Breakdown, Chargers barely pressured Sanchez, that wont happen next week, with Dwight and Mathis they will kill Sanchez everytime he tries to pass. Colts been tested against the run this week when they played Ray Rice, so they will stop Greene. Reggie Wayne will get shutdown by Revis, but Manning has more weapons with TE Clark, Grocon, Collie. Jets will blitz alot and Manning would tear them apart. Pick the Colts all the way.
January 17th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Lefty12,
I want a running back that gets me 1200 yards. I don’t care about “violent running” or 40x.
DMAC to me is a bust. Period.
Fargas is an 800 yard back to me.
Bush, I would just like to see him get the rock 15 to 20 a game for 4QTRS….I still have not seen that, yet, when he gets the ball he has more big games than naught.

bush dosent run as hard as i would like a big back would, then he shares the fumblelidis with mcfadden, rb isn’t a real loaded position 4 us, but still way better than our o and d-lines of course. linebacker positions need to be addressed as well.
January 17th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
we need a QB who can lead us more than we need a RB.look at the teams still left.if it wasn’t for Turner blowing that game today all the teams left are PASSING teams.look at Minn.-they had a great RB but couldn’t get to the championship game until they got a QB who could put points on the board.if we were competent on Offense(decent QB play) our Def. is good enough to win.If we could score points,the opponents couldn’t just pound us with the run.I’d also like to point out that when Grad. started we did score and therefore we were in or winning those games-and we all know Grad. isn’t a 1st rate QB.Imagine if we had one!!

Please, he actually has speed and runs well enough to average 4.8 yds per carry on 123 carries.

Chargers were thight, they got intimidated by Rex Ryans predictions…
The key to this game was charger offense againts jets defense…. if chargers could have gone up by 14 points… jets would have lost… simple as that….
but they kept it close till rivers got frustrated and started taking chances into tight coverages…
also that kicker is a choke…
January 17th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Lefty12,
We need a smashmouth offensive line and run the football and then throw in spots.
The Raiders historically are competitive when they can run the ball.
Gradkowski? I am telling you, 2 freekn games does not mean squat! He earned the right to compete for the job next year and that’s it. A guy that got cut by 3 QB needy teams in his short time here probably has some glaring weaknesses that will be exposed when opponents can game plan him.
We need to bring in a vet QB to compete. I hope the Eagles cut McNabb or the Seahawks cut Hasselback. That would be a perfect opportunity for the Raiders to pounce
January 17th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
The Jets got to the AFC Championship game by having a boss offensive line, a strong running game and very good defense.
That’s the path Tom Cable should have followed. Instead he tried to make us like the freekn Colts
January 17th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
NFL teams all have the same goal, win Superbowls,…the Chargers are on a dwindling list of teams still without one,..yes they are on a nice run, but what do division titles get you?…probably fired if youre Norv Turner,…yes the Chargers have been beating the Raiders the last several years,..if all they care about are divion titles then theyre doing great,…but they once again choked in a major way today, Norv probably will be fired, LT likely played his last game there, the Chargers havent won a thing,…Fouts couldnt do it, and I doubt they ever will,…the Raiders are in terrible shape right now for sure, I see it up close every year, but you cant take away their three Superbowls,…they own them,…they own as much as the rest of the division combined,…Charger fans like to give us a hard time, up until you ask them how many superbowls have they won,…that being said I didnt get any joy out of them losing today, because I dont give a damn about them, never have and never will.
January 17th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
bush is another question mark on this team, as i stated earlier, the rb position is fine where we’re at, other holes need to be addressed, but it’s obvious as well bush isn’t ready to carry the load. always asking 4 a breather, fumble prone, and basically unproven at this point. it suited him basically, to be underutilized to keep healthy and fresh for big games late in the season.
January 17th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
people are always crying because we get so called track stars instead of ‘football’ players,yet continually knock the ‘football’ players we have because they aren’t good enough.

January 17th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
Al Davis is the supreme choke job come draft day
Shone Green in round 3 by the jets…
Ray Rice by the ravens…
Wait, these RB’s are too short and run slow right?…
We draft the 6′1″ McFadden that falls easily and cant stay healthy…
Al Davis has no brains for talent evaluation… that is the reason we suck

S&B-read my whole post before you go off on one of your rants .i said Grad. wasn’t a 1st rate QB but he was the best one we put out there this year.I disagree with the type of team we should put out there.We need a team that can put points on the board.The Jets only won because Turner blew it.ALL THE TEAMS LEFT ARE PASSING TEAMS except the Jets and they should have LOST.
January 17th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
I hate to say it but Cable should get another chance(although he needs an o coordinator). When he benched JaBustus we started winning. Until Grads and Frye got injured because of no pass protection.
Who’s fault is it that we do not have O-linemen?
When was the last time we drafted or traded for or got a FA O-lineman who was a probowler? The last one I can remember was Lincoln Kennedy???
