Asomugha on Cable, JaMarcus
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, January 29th, 2010 at 3:25 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders coach Tom Cable told KHTK (1140-AM) radio he expects to be coaching the Raiders in 2010, but apparently no one has gotten word to his players.
It sounds as if ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Cable himself are the only two people who are certain the Raiders won’t be changing the head coach. The Raiders say the evaluation process regarding Cable is ongoing.
Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, in an interview at the Pro Bowl on the NFL Network with Rich Eisen, Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin, was asked if there was uncertainty about the head coach and responded, “I think he’s back, they’re probably still going over stuff, but if he is the guy, me, just like the the other players, you would like to hear that.”
Asomugha said he “absolutely” wanted Cable to return because “we can’t keep starting over. Five coaches in seven years, that’s tough.”
Asomugha received some pointed questions about JaMarcus Russell and expressed hope the quarterback would be more prepared this season, while essentially conceding Russell will remain the starter.
“I think he can be the guy. I don’t think he was ready for what we went through last year, I think he needed to be a little more prepared, going into each game, going into the season, and I think he has that opportunity this offseason.
“It’s got to be big for him. He knows that too. He has to understand that we’re going to go as far as he takes us. He’s the quarterback of the team.”
Irvin asked Asomugha if Russell’s lack of preparedness was because of Russell himself or the coaching staff.
“Look, we’ve all played the game. You can have all the intangibles, but unless you put in the work yourself . . . look, I came into the league as a safety and I had to move to man corner,” Asomugha said. “Mentally, you’ve got to do it yourself. A lot of it’s going to be on you and I think he’s getting to the level that he realizes that.
“It was tough for him last year. It wasn’t easy going into games getting booed by your own people. That’s tough.”
Sanders managed to get in a dig right early in the interview session after Eisen opened by asking Asomugha about his acting career and role in “Friday Night Lights.”
“You’ve been acting well the last several years in Oakland (like) you want to be there.”

…and it wasn’t too long ago (2001-2002) when deion wanted to be here.
January 29th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
SnB,
Davis would have gone after Seymour regardless who he drafted.
January 29th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
damn chargers claimed him to prevent us from getting him.
January 29th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
Its obvious AL is trying to make life so difficult for Tom he just ups & quits but Tom saw how this played out when Lane refused to go…
Al either fire the guy or quit trying to force him out. It didnt work with Lane and its not going to work with Tom!
January 29th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
nnamdi knows the biz, knows 4 sure jr is starting 4 us next yr.
January 29th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
VR,
When the team is consistently a 30 something ranked run defense year after year after year…when you go through something like 4 QBs in the course of 4 wks due to injury…..You fix the lines and nothing else.
Let make the lines the priority.
Spend the lower picks on positions that were supposed to be solved in past drafts
January 29th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Maybe the deaths in Russell’s family did set him back mentally? Then again Flacco regressed in his 2nd year too.
January 29th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
i agree, BUILD THE LINES IN ‘10!
January 29th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Nnamdi all but saying Russell is a lazy sack of dirt.
Like most of us been saying all along. Sucks to be right so often..
Russell boot lickers standup & be counted!

Or maybe if you read what Nnamdi & 100’s of others have been saying. Russell is a lazy worthless pile of goo..

Hey, JaDavis Russell was lazy because of his personality and an organizational culture that enabled it.
Namely Al Davis and his players 1st mentality

The Raiders have made the lines a priority before with Stinchcomb, Gallery, Grove, Collins.
The problem is, who’s doing the drafting, and for what scheme?
Then, drafting LT’s and converting them to RT’s. Drafting RT’d and converting him to LG. Then drafting a LG and converting him to Center, etc, etc ,etc.

That’s right. And when we say pick a cornerback or linebacker…and wait..we are really saying that the lines are not the priority.
Kelly and Warren have to be REPLACED. All 5 OLine positions should be up for grabs.
Another linebacker won’t stop Warren from getting pushed out of the way….Joe Haden can’t do jack to get Cornell Green to hold his blocks and not jump offsides.
Of course, I know what Davis will do. He loves the highlight reel

KoolKell,
I know the drafting has been a disaster and will continue to be. However, the Raiders knew Gallery was bust 3 or 4 years ago. Yet ignored the line play.. They knew Cornell Green was a stop gap…yet ignored the line play…they knew that Satele and Carlisle were underpowered…yet ignored the line play.
Then this ZBS but then bringing in Langston Walker…and switching….
Yes, the strategy is a mess here in Oakland and will continue to be.
But I would rather try to get that lineman in the 1st round then another fleet footed specialist that we all complain about later

January 29th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
Robert Gallery was an All-World LT in College, can’t miss.
First thing they did was move him to RT.
January 29th, 2010 at 3:51 pm
Simply drafting lineman, which is a great need of course…….does NOT mean holes will be filled.
January 29th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
KoolKell do you do anything else with your day other than copy & paste worthless material over & over?
January 29th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
KoolKell,
Yeah, you’re right about GAllery supposedly being can’t miss. Then they moved him and gave him horrible coaching….also had a plyaer in Kevin Boothe…but then they switched the scheme and we were left with Carlisle.
The Raiders are clueless when drafting high. Hopefully they focus on D-Line/O-Line…because it would at least axcknowledge that there is a problem on the lines…instead of ignoring it and blaming the coaches.

Gallery probably had 3 different line coaches his first 3 years.
These are the institutional dysfunctions that can’t be repaired with the drafting of anyone.

I watched the whole show on NFL Network and never heard Nnamdi say that Russell is sure to be the starter. That is the problem with you people, you all like to twist a tad here or a tad there to make what people say fit your train of thought on an issue.
He stated that he thought if Russell put in the time and work needed that Nnamdi felt from what he has seen going against Russell in practice that Russell could become an NFL QB. Now that is a far cry from what you are reporting that he said.
You should do an article on the low standards of the Bay Area in hiring qualified reporters. The bunch of you are the bottom of the bunch, minus that Poole dude, after the article he did on Jackson not long ago at least he has talent when he decides to get off his $^* and use it.

Ufk Neon Peion.
He’s always takin’ a smack at the Raiders. Who cares? Raiders have deserved it, but Sanders ugly focus on money and gettin’ bruthas paid is unsavory and unflattering.
We know its a business Moronica.
BTW, why’s Froen care where Aso plays? He’s the highest PAID player at his postion EVER. You’d think that would be enuff for Peion. Pretty tired of his washed up shuckin and jivin’ routine.
Don’te get me started on Irvin. Revisionist history. The A hole squirts a couple tears at his HOF speech and suddenly he wasn’t called the Dallas Coke machine anymore or never tried to stab a team mate in throat with a pair of scisors.

Nnamdi, if you’re still depressed after Barbacks 78 minutes State of the Union speech of lies & falsehoods you can probably get help from some free liberal program, theres 100’s of them out there just burning up our tax dollars..
January 29th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
Losing Gallery sunk us. The line never really recovered. How could it? Satele couldn’t beat out MORRIS for chrissakes. Had to wait for Gallery’s injury to take back over. Having Cornell Green out didn’t really help or hurt, but he was a starter I guess.
Line woes helped kill the ground game which exposed the already struggling passing game which was compounded by rookies at WR and at coach.
Hopefully Russell has refocused and gives us his best next season…
January 29th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
Russell refocused?
Wouldn’t you have to focus at least 1 time before to be able to “refocus”?
FYI…The next time Russell is focused will be the first.

Man, I am having second thoughts on McClain after reading scouts report in this site, http://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2010rmcclain.php
They question his playing in 4-3. I think we shouldnt draft this guy knowing this fact matter fact sign and trade for Vince Wilfork he is worth 8th overall pick.
I am also seeing why some guys in here like Spikes better. This what they are saying about him.
“He is a very muscular 260 pounds and he is one of the more physical linebackers in the country. When healthy and when his mind is in the right spot, he can toss away blockers with ease. A sure tackler that will bring down any back when he is in position. When approaching a ball carrier with his balance in check, he can deliver quite the blow. Can make the difficult tackle when he isn’t in prime position. Reads the quarterbacks eyes very well and can diagnose throwing lanes before the release. Doesn’t cover a lot of ground and he will gamble, but he has had the knack for coming up with the big play against the pass with six interceptions and four returned for touchdowns over the past two years.”
The main difference I see between the two is that Spikes fits better in the 4-3 defense we have, if AL is willing to change to the 3-4 then we should draft McClain otherwise Spikes is better option. Besides McClain is known for his rushing the passer, we all know that our MLB needs to be run stopper and play pass coverage in third downs, Spikes has 6 int and reads QB mind. I personally think McClain would be a better pick if we changing the scheme but since we are not trade for Vince Wilfork. Maybe we can get NE 24th overall pick and Vince Wilfork for our 8th overall pick and second round pick.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
You know who else is pathetic, besides MistabrOwn, the New Orleans Saints. The only reason they are in the Super Bowl is because their defense is a bunch of dirty cheap shot artists. I won’t be surprised if they try and take out Manning’s knees. Also, they had a lot of help from the refs against the Vikings because the league wants a feel good story. It was probably orchestrated by Obama anyway. Because he is black and all.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
Oh wow, yeah Nnamdi is miserable look him coming unglued!

MESSAGE TO AL DAVIS: URGENT!!!
Dr. Mr. Davis,
It’s impossible to win without a committed, capable quarterback. There are currently none under contract, as of today, on your team’s roster. I’d like to thank AND congratulate you for signing Loseman and Gradkowski. Next step: sign SeaBass and #92. Russell has ALL the talent in the world and refuses to use them(or, he can’t). Either way, sadly disappointing so far.
Sincerely,
Every potato-eating, beer-drinkin, cowboy-hippie, Montanan that loves the fact that the best players on your team are two Po-locks, a german guy, and a black dude from Berkeley. Totally awesome.
ps…and they ALL answer to the “Man upstairs”.
(that’s you)

are you friggin kidding? JA-MAN-BOOBS is the biggest joke i’ve ever seen, GRADKOWSKI better start or alot of fans will not go to the games next year, he’s a disgrace(russell) he’s had more than a fair chance to prove it, russell starts it will be another 5-11 season

who says that we have to change to a 3-4, he can play in either system and reported runs in the 4.57 range in his forty so he can get sideline to sideline. He is a student of the game and can learn the new system. Ray Lewis said it was easier for him to playin a 4-3 and he struggled when the Ravens went to a 3-4.

Here this was posted by TrueRaider earlier so I give him the credit.
# Weaknesses:
# Unimpressive speed
# Overpursues against run
# Questionable 4-3 inside linebacker
# Average sideline-sideline range
# Good, but not an exceptional athlete
# Could be exposed in man scheme
# Doesn’t have huge upside
# A little uncomfortable in space
Summary: I really don’t think McClain is a 4-3 inside linebacker. The speed and lateral range just isn’t there for me, and I think he would be exposed because he will overpursue gaps. McClain is great for 3-4 teams because he can play inside, but also move over to the outside if needed temporarily. His best fits are at 3-4 inside linebacker and 4-3 strongside linebacker. McClain is a solid prospect who will likely come off the board in the top 20 picks.

He played in a 3-4 system, he is only 20 years, it will take him time to learn to play 4-3 system. More important scouts report that he overpurses against the run while playing the 3-4 imagine what would happen to him in 4-3?
He can’t play man to man defense or I should say he Could be exposed in man scheme, basically it will take him time to learn and become a stud. Remember all the hype about Aaron Curry SLB what did he do last year? nothing. While guys like Cushing and Mauluga been tearing it up. Why cause they played the 4-3 in USC, you draft players that fit your system. Am i right?
January 29th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
The Atlanta, Georgia product is well-respected as one of the biggest hitters and most feared defenders at the college level, and why not? McClain stands in at 6′4” and 256 pounds and he reportedly runs a 4.6 in the 40-year-dash. That’s a scary combination of size and speed to say the least. He has had some minor off-the-field problems in the past, but nothing that has developed into a major red flag or any kind of case for real concern. Plus, he is an Honor Roll student in the classroom and has earned rave reviews from Alabama coaches regarding his work at spring practices. Assuming McClain leaves after his junior season, he could find himself in the Top 10 of the draft if he finishes well and produces at the combine.

Lol the very reason we didn’t draft Michael Crabtree or Michael Oher is because they reportedly didn’t fit our system or a player in our “system” was already in their position. All this system stuff is bull because if a player has the tools and the work ethic a new system can be taught. Curry played at wakeforest Mcclain was the best defender on the best defense in the closest conference you can get to the NFL. He plated against much better competition on a national stage weekly. Rey dropped to the second round because people paid so much attention to what he couldn’t do (cover) they forgot what a player he was on that field. Mcclain is the rare blend of ability and intangibles, youre gonna pass that up because he would have to move to a 4-3. Sounds like the people that questioned if Chris Johnson could be an every down back.

Scouting Report: Each draft there is a linebacker who sets the bar for the rest of the class. McClain is that guy this year, like Aaron Curry was last year, and Patrick Willis before that. Sort of like Joe Haden, McClain is very clearly the best linebacker in this draft. McClain is a big thick dude, with a powerful lower body and low body fat. He has an explosion when he plays, and an intensity that is unrivaled in this class. There are few flaws to McClains skill set. He is great at diagnosing the play, getting to it in a hurry whether that means shedding a blocker, working around one, or simply in pursuit. When he gets to the ball, he usually brings the pain with a devastating paired up with great technique. He can drop and cover in the short zone, shows solid instincts for the game, and does very well on blitzes and twists. McClain has been the undisputed leader of the Crimson Tide defense and their defense is very complex highlighting his football IQ. On the downside, McClain is a Mike linebacker and probably not able to play on the outside citing some lack of versatility. Also, when you consider that McClain is about 3 biscuits shy of 260lbs, you won’t see him setting any records on his triangle numbers.
Draft Status: This is a little uncertain, because some think that Missouri LB Sean Weatherspoon or Florida LB Brandon Spikes are better linebackers than McClain, and because they either already to play on the outside, or look to be able to, will be taken ahead of him, and push him to the bottom of the round. I have a hard time believing that. McClain could have a huge impact on a defense, especially a team that runs the 3-4 and you can pair him up with another Mike and let him blitz and run and make plays. If he can continue to play like he has, and have a good offseason showing I see no reason he should be drafted anywhere outside the first 20 picks.
Final Analysis: I love McClain’s game. I love the fact that he always knows what to do at the right time, and is almost never caught out of position. I love he’s big and strong enough to hold the point of attack even against offensive linemen, and that he can deliver a blow like no other player in the draft. He’s a throwback kind of guy. Not flashy, and not all about the triangle numbers. Just an incredibly talented and productive linebacker.
Reminds me of: Ray Lewis, LB Baltimore Ravens-McClain has the look of a super star, like Lewis does and is an explosive powerful and smart playmaker, just like Lewis. Also, he may end up slipping in the first round like Lewis did, but for different reasons.

Rolando McClain
6′4, 258 pounds | Middle linebacker | Alabama
Coverage: Better in zone coverage than man where he can use his athleticism to break on the ball. Uses his plus football intelligence to know opponent’s passing plays and gets good breaks on routes. Hands are nothing special.
Instincts: Recognition skills are at an elite level. Is never out of place, which makes his burst and athleticism seem even more impressive. Doesn’t get fooled by play-action and quickly recognizes blocking schemes.
Pass Rush: A strong pass rusher who is infrequently required to blitz. Shows a good rip move. Closes really fast when he gets an open lane.
Pursuit: He’s always going hard and fast toward the ball. He takes correct angles to the ball carrier and infrequently gets caught up on blocks. Reportedly has run the 40-yard dash in 4.59 and 4.63 seconds.
Quickness: Has a great first step off the snap that amplifies his ball recognition skills. Uses his quickness to slip blocks to avoid the arms of his opponents.
Run defense: McClain is perhaps the premier run-stopping linebacker in the draft. He’s strong and rangy. Playing on the inside, McClain doesn’t wait for the ball carrier to come at him, he attacks.
Size: Possesses perfect size for the position. Is strong throughout his frame and reportedly has only 9 percent body fat. While
Strength: Has a powerful frame and impressive functional playing strength. Needs to become a little more technically sound shedding blocks. Will get upright too much and allow blockers into his legs.
Tackling: A picture-perfect tackler. Wraps up when he reaches the ball carrier. Doesn’t need a lot of help tackling. Doesn’t tackle high. McClain can really big hits on players, jarring the ball loose.
Versatility: McClain is not just a run-defending middle linebacker. When he’s asked to get after the quarterback, he has the moves to get through inside and close. McClain has also shown he can drop back into coverage and cover tight ends in space.
Final word: McClain is the most sure-thing as a middle linebacker prospect in the draft since Patrick Willis. He’s a prototypical combination of size, athleticism and intelligence.
If McClain somehow turns out to be a bust, it will be a shock.

JB,
I’m not sure we know what we have in DMac yet. Kell is right, he was considered a can’t miss running back going into the draft. He was widely believed to be the best overall prospect in that draft class. He had dominated in college football’s toughest conference, the SEC. In fact I remember reading a report saying that two long time SEC observers and former coaches.. Pat Dye of Auburn and Vince Dooley of Georgia saying DMAC was the best they’d seen since Bo and Herschel. A once in a generation type talent.
Remember, in only his second game as a pro, in which he’d run for about 160 yards in basically one half, he sustained turf toe injuries on both feet, and a seperated shoulder. He shot em up and tried to play the next week and hasn’t looked the same since. Turf toe fukks with your balance, and he always seems to be slipping and falling. DMAC is not soft, he’s a football player. I’ve seen him unload on some people on some crackback blocks. I’d like to see a healthy DMAC running behind an upgraded line before I’d pass final judgement on him.

Dude, you are mentioning the good things about the kid, well taken. Except you missing a strong point, we are not talking about a Wide Receiver and a running back. We took about a MLB, those scouts that love him see that he could change position according to the team that drafts him. We dont need a Will or SAM more then a Mike. We need a true Mike who can fit in the 4-3 system. When you drafting a defensive player, his position matters. If we are gonna be a 4-3 defense then we need guys that understand one gap system so that they can get rid of their blocker and tackle the running back, its a huge adjustment if u never played the 4-3 in your life. He is not a hybrid something like Orakapo was coming out of Texas, hybrid is a guy who can play both 4-3 or 3-4. Scott can play 4-3 and 3-4. McClain cannot, I repeat again he clearly never played 4-3, over purses while playing to 3-4, its a complete different animal when you playing Mike in the 4-3.
Did you watch him play, the guy is known blitzer, our MLB rarely blitz, ask AL Davis how much he likes blitzing. He calls it attack not blitz. Our MLB is responsible to stop the run and play deep coverage against the TE. Spikes had 6 int last year and clearly is the best run stopper MLB in this draft. No question about who fits 4-3 between them. Now, if you willing to wait for McClain to develop then thats different, but I thought we want a guy who can come in from first day and help us against the run, if thats so, then Spikes is the one. There are more questions about McClain if he gets drafted by us rather than Spikes. Basically, I am not sold on this guy. He has potential bust if he plays 4-3 just like Dorsey who is struggling with the chiefs to play 3-4.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
The Spikes or McClain debate may go on for years, and I honestly expect both of them to be pretty good, and would be pleased as punch if we got either one.
I just think McClain is a tad more physical, and a harder hitter. We have enough “speed” everywhere else, we need a football player in the middle. McClain is a football player (not that Spikes isn’t).
January 29th, 2010 at 7:21 pm

Mike Mayock wasnt sold on DMAC and even warned about him. He stated the fumbling problems and the nag that he falls from first contact.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Remember Dorsey DT best defensive prospect, he was suppose to be a beast. Well under the wrong system dude is a bust. So let me get this straight, there is no difference if you played a 3-4 or 4-3 in college????
January 29th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Spikes blitzes just as much as McClain.
The Gators would bring him off the edge all the time. Spikes also regressed a little this year, just like Rey M last year. There is a reason Spikes may go in the second round, and McClain might go in the top 5.
Every rookie has to learn when he gets in the league, no matter a new position or not. McClain is a good enough football player to adjust, and at worst he would be a bad-ass, ulta-physical OLB.
We can use one of those as well.

*****************
All valid observations but until we upgrade the O-line, who knows when that will happen, let’s use him where he can produce results now – at slot WR. 60%, maybe 80%, of the oO-line needs to be replaced. Gallery is the only sure keeper. Henderson may be better on the right side if we can draft or trade for a legitimate OLT. C, RG & RT definitely need to be replaced post haste.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
True Raider said McClain could be a Lavarr Arrington type.
Lavarr was one of the best LB’s in the game for a few years. He had injury problems and never met his full potential, but a Lavarr Arrington would be ten times better than what we have been getting with our 1st picks lately.

==================================================
Good words my friend. A key thing you said “at worst he would be a bad-ass, ulta-physical OLB.” My question, do we need one of that now???
Answer is no. We need a beast muscle on top of muscle MLB who can stop the run and cover TE. If McClain is not that why pay him 30 mill to struggle his first year and learn and then switch him to SAM. I dont like that idea. I am hoping we do a sign and trade for Wilfork its sounds like McClain might become a bust in Oakland and super pro bowler in the Chiefs, maybe we can get lucky and get Dorsey wants they cut him and revive his career in here.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
If its about drafting the best player available then we go for Dez Bryant thats the guy i want. If not, trade for a veteran like Wilfork, if not draft for need and get Bruce Campbell OL he is a beast.

Yes 4eve,
I remember Mayock’s critiques of McFadden..skinny legs,lacks lower body strength to run through tackles. Maybe his points are valid. But, the guy sure ran wild thru the SEC. I’m just saying it’s way too early to give up on DMAC as a RB yet. We don’t know how good he can be. His rookie year he was injured in Wk 2, this year the hyperextended knee in wk 5. I just want to see a healthy DMAC behind a hopefully improved OL, before I throw in the towel.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
I don’t think the issue with McClain would be his inability to stop the run and provide some much needed physicality and bulk.
It would be in the sideline-to-sideline area, and in pass coverage. But honestly most MLB’s aren’t that great at coverage, anyways. The next MLB you can find me that can cover Antonio Gates will be the first one.
I am just tired of Morrison filling the gap and allowing what should be a 2 yard run turn into a 5 yard run. Or Kirk taking a bad angle on a 3rd and 13 draw and giving up a first down way too easily.
McClain is a presence on the field, especially between the tackles. We sorely need that. At this stage, after 7 years of pathetic Run D and giving up huge yards between the tackles, I am OK if McClain can’t cover anyone and than our biggest weakness is covering the TE. Beats getting punched in the nose repeatedly on running plays.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
Imagine a Raider D that just absoulutely STUFFED the run.
The run game is the machismo of football.
If You can DOMINATE that…I think it feeds energy to the entire TEAM.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Vegas,
I agree.I’m getting my hopes up for McClain, just like I did for Rey M. Last year. They need a big physical presence in the middle. But, if they could land a top flight OT in Rd 1, and Spikes slipped to Rd 2, I could live with that. As long as the offensive line , and run defense are addressed, I’ll be happy. No “skill” position players please, Al.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:51 pm

What makes you think McClain wont turn to another Morrison, they said he overpurses while playing the 3-4, can you imagine what would happen to him in 4-3? He cant get off the block and thats the same problem Morrison has, I am not sure you read the scouting report.
doesnt this sound like another Morrison?
# Weaknesses:
# Unimpressive speed
# Overpursues against run
# Questionable 4-3 inside linebacker
# Average sideline-sideline range
# Good, but not an exceptional athlete
# Could be exposed in man scheme
# Doesn’t have huge upside
# A little uncomfortable in space
January 29th, 2010 at 7:54 pm
I now someone is going to chime in and say the LB doesn’t matter because of our D-line.
Well we got one Pro Bowler in Seymour who bounces inside and out. Gregg Ellis is a former pro-bowler and is stout against the run. Kelly continually falls in the top 5 in tackles and tackles for losses for D-lineman. I don’t think he is a top 5 D-lineman, but those stats have to at least prove he is average. Warren needs to be replaced, but he was also a top 5 pick and will end up playing 12 years in the league.
How many times would we see an opposing run, and the guy just slips past the line of scrimmage, and than the LB’s are nowhere to be found and they gain 25 yards? You watch the replay and Howard overpursues, Kirk gets lost in the middle, and Scott is being handled by a TE.
Enough is enough
January 29th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Raiders4eve
you made yourself sound foolish….a hybrid player is one that can be a DE in a 4-3 or an OLB in a 3-4. There is not too much difference between an ILB in a 4-3 and one in a 3-4. I have seen him play and came away impressed, he was the QB of the nations best defense and got his players lined up correctly. One if the games I saw, I believe at Va Tech, he got a personal foul out of frustration and looked a lil slow on a few of his blitzes but overall impressed me.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
That’s one scouting report. I have read others that compare him to Dick Butkus and Rey Lewis, lol.
If he can’t shed a block, why is Bill Parcells supposedly drooling at the idea of drafting him if he is at #11, which he won’t likely will be?
January 29th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
4eve,
I watched Alabama a few times this year. Vs. Auburn, SEC championship, and national championship. I saw absolutely no similarities between McClain and Capt. Kirk’s game whatsoever. He is almost the un-Morrison. He’s thick in the lower body, physical against the run, and tackled with some pop.

oh bill parcellls is a genius! he never is wrong bout a player . mcclain is too much of a maybe . id hate to come in here 2 years from now and u guys postin : WE REALLY NEED 2 DRAFT BLANK BLANKITY OUT OF PENN STATE MLB. BECUS MCLAIN IS A BUST
January 29th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
severeraiderz
You right about hybrid. I take that back my bad. Nevertheless, I am not sold on him, I think with 8th overall pick we should a real rare talented player that wont be available down the draft. Vegas has already stated that both are good and he doesnt mind either player, yet McClain is top 10 and Spikes is at best late first round or most probably an early second. My question why would you pick McClain if there are similar players to him, why dont we draft something we cant find down the line someone like Bruce Campbell or Anthony Davis OL best offensive lineman. I would personally take a skill player cause he is worth the money a guy like Dez Bryant is a legit Wrs that we lack. I am not sold on DHB, we need a playmaker in that side of the ball. Dez Bryant is better then Schillens and Murphy.
January 29th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
I saw a few instances were McClain looked a tad slow. Look, speed isn’t his game, and that would be his potential weakness.
In the BCS game, I saw one reverse type play where Texas got 20+ yards and McClain did look slow. I even commented on here when it happened. A couple plays later, Texas tries a screen and McClain sniffed it out and absolutely flattened the RB for a loss.
Great instincts can makeup for a being a tad slow.
January 29th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
The Raiders have had some good MLB’s who didn’t anchor any relay teams. Matt Millen and Greg Biekert come to mind. They might not have been fast, but they could hold their gaps and stuff the inside runs. That’s what this D needs. It’s got enough fast guys.
January 29th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Raiders4eve
What gives you the authority to say that mcclain can play OLB but not MLB…..he has never played MLB in a 4-3 but has never played OLB period. That transition would be much tougher. From what I saw he has the ability to get from sideline to sideline, can blitz but doesnt do it often, and can cover especially zone which I know we don’t run much(5 picks in the last three years, spikes has 6). He is regarded by many as the best run stopping LB in the nation, and he and his defense proved it while the spikes led defense was gashed by a runner in Mark ingram that many consider too slow to have a major impact at the next level. Spikes numbers regressed each year from his sophmore to his senior year while mcclain and his defenses got better.
January 29th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
Well, the problem is McClain might not be good in holding his gap or shedding off the blocker. Bill Parcel is a 3-4 guy, he is drooling cause he knows McClain can will fit dolphins defense very well. They are aggressive defense that goes after the QB. Most probably he will used something like LaMarr Woodley, but we are not going to use him like that. You draft a guy to use his skills and his skills doesnt fit well with the Raiders man to man 4-3 defense. Why waste his talent like that? Get OL Campbell and get Spikes or Micah Johnson lower picks.
I would love our draft to be like this:
1) Campbell OL
2) Cody DT
3) D’Anthony Smith DT
3) Micah Johnson MLB
January 29th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
severeraiderz
Its actually the opposite. He is not good from side line to side line and he blitzes more then you seen. Ask Vegas if u dont believe me he agrees with that.
January 29th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
Lol if we could get OT Davis or Campbell and Spikes great, but why not Mcclain and a second round OT? Dez Bryant????!!!! Why not just draft Mays or Haden or Griffen or Pierre-Paul? We need an intimidating safety, a better second corner, and a better pass rush so using ur logic we could grab any of them and justify it. Mcclain is the type if player that lifts defenses to a new level. Before the draft Alex smith and Aaron Rodgers were neck and neck, I believe that mcclain is the Aaron Rodgers in this scenario I just hope we don’t make the Alex smith pick. Sorry for all the typos, darn iPhone.
January 29th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
I watched most of the Bama games this year because my girl is from Leeds, Al. I know just what he can and can’t do. He can play from sideline to sideline but may have been hard to tell because he likes to keep plays in front if him and not overpursue. He is a proficient blitzer but didn’t do it nearly as much as you made it seem. You also said that we don’t blitz our MLB, did u ever stop to think that it may be because we didn’t have one that could. Mcclain could give us that player to do it because we had no problem blitzing, Howard, Branch, Mitchell, and our corners.
January 29th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Now watch McClain speak, he sounds like another Jamarcus

January 29th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
Why does my comment says this “Your comment is awaiting moderation”
I havent cursed or anything. Can someone tell me???
The reason we dont blitz is cause AL Davis man to man defense is not built for blitzing, AL likes 4 man rush and pass coverage the rest, come on you know it too.
January 29th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
when guys are real monsters u know. i remember the first time i heard of patrick willis. univ of memphis was playing ole miss and i was listening 2 da game on da radio . like evry other word that came outta the announcers mouth was willis big play! willis with the sack! sum linebackers just got it
January 29th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
raiders4eve doesnt really matter if mcclain is dumber than jruss. hes not a quarterback! qbs must be intelligent to thrive in the nfl, jruss is most likely the dumbest .
January 29th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
I agree with you guys but my concern is that McClain might not be utilized by AL philosophy man to man defense. If so Spikes fits AL gamestyle that’s all I m saying
January 29th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Al likes what works, we blitzed more last year that at anytime in the last 5 years. Why not add another player that can get to the QB, the threat of the blitz can be quite effective. Even better, imagine Mcclain coming up the middle on a mike blitz and smacking Rivers in the mouth and then the scoreboard plays McClaaaaiiinnnn!!!! in that die hard bad guys voice. Lol classic. Basically what I’m saying is that Mcclain gives us a better run stopper in the Rey M mold but also an effective blitzer in the middle, something Capt Kirk has never been.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
severeraiderz
Do you agree that McClain benefited from having Mt Cody in front of him? Spikes played well last year without a guy like Cody infront of him, what you think about that?
January 29th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
what about the point that McClain wasnt the team captain defensively, as stated in the article i posted earlier
“But he also serves as the defense’s playcaller and leader, getting chosen as a captain by his teammates the day after Alabama beat Florida 32-13 in the SEC title game.”
January 29th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
F*CK Deion Sanders. He’s just mad because he wanted to unretire to the Raiders a few years back and Al said…
Not no Deion, but HELL NO!
By the way…
JusFkdus Russell is horrible. He can work from now until Doomsday and it won’t change.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
If they were running a 4-3 the affect of the DT is greater but I do believe having a space eater like Cody helped. I also believe having players like Joe Hade, Dunlap, Jarvis moss, Reggie Nelson, Ray mcdonald etc etc have helped Spikes not to mention a quick scoring offense that gave him plenty of oppurtunities on D.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Most teams choose seniors as captains
January 29th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Here is the argument against JR. People say that Vince Young resurrected his career while not realizing that Vince Young led his team and won rookie offensive player of the year plus got voted in the pro bowl. So he had shown some success. Meanwhile, Jr never showed anything except winning and having some success end of the 2008 season, how in the world would he get better i have no clue. I was watching the Suns game where they showed him wearing bling bling, what is he doing in AZ? Training who knows. I doubt we will see a new JR.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
severeraiderz
Spikes was the capt since his junior season. I think we both want the best for our team, if McClain gets drafted I would buy his jersey and support him. I hope he succeeds as a Raider, I just feel Spikes is the better fit, there is no knock on him while I am reserved and skeptical about McClain, he could be a bust.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
Isn’t it funny tha u just admitted that McClain was elected captain during his junior year as well. Like I said most teams choose seniors, not all. You are really reaching now my man, grasping at straws……Randy Moss and Kirk Morrison have been team captains here, enough said.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
God! I hope Russell won’t be the starter. I’ve seen enough of him to cut him or bench him indefinitely. What a waste of money.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
I want the best for our team as well and it is my opinion that McClain is the player we need. Spikes is a great player and one of my favorite college players…..McClain is just special.

Rd 3 – LB
Rd 3 – C
Rd 4 – FB
The rest – Best player available.
Not fastest, best.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
Haden can ball I woulb he more angry over a Mays or a Dez pick. What’s the book on Anthony Davis I didn’t watch too much if him so I don’t know how good he is. Would you rather him or Trent Williams if we take a 1st round OT. What about Ducasse in the third, I hear that he may be moved to guard Ciron Black is falling as well and is struggling at the senior bowl practices he may be available in the 3rd.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
Picking a freakin CB, WR, Safety,or RB with the #8 pick will just help continue the downward spiral of the franchise and team.
Enough is enough….build the Lines and LB corp through the draft and get a kick returner in the later rounds.

January 29th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
You guy’s talk as if what you think has some bearing on what will happen. Guess again!!
McClain is in now way a finished product this kid is very young and hasn’t developed physically. He has great instincts which is much more important than sideline to sideline speed 4/3 MLB don’t need to play sideline to sideline as much as the need to play tackle to tackle and penetrate gaps.
Your safeties take care of the stuff that gets to the sidelines. The safeties we have would work very well with McClain. I like several MLB’s Johnson is very good as well as Spikes. Your MLB must be a leader and very instinctive and football smart similar to a QB in that he has to get the play called get guy’s lined up and key very well react to the OG’s because they will tell where the play is going.
All three mentioned are very good at these, one has better speed one has better athleticism and one is more stout than the others but McClain 3 years from now will be one of the top MLB in the game …………period there are others not mentioned but MLB must be football smart and instinctive and a great leader. That’s what hurts Kirk instincts and diagnosis.
Beikert wasn’t nearly the athlete Kirk is but Beikert was extremely football smart and instinctive. I would take another Beikert in a heartbeat. He could cover grandma but he would call a great game and lead and hit all day.
That’s McClain he just understands football and what offense want to do. That is the key to playing MLB.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:10 pm

To be honest I like Bruce Campbell better then any OL in this draft. Even better then Russell Okung from Oklahoma State. He is a beast, muscle on top of muscle his physical attributes is beyond the measures. He can play man and zone scheme. He is tall 6′7 and his upside is more then any OL in this draft. Only knock on him is durability and I suspect he is been on the good stuff Alston bodybuilding cause the guy looks like a DL not an OL.

Glad you are in the discussion. Let me ask you this bro, have you read what the scouts said. Here it is.
# Weaknesses:
# Unimpressive speed
# Overpursues against run
# Questionable 4-3 inside linebacker
# Average sideline-sideline range
# Good, but not an exceptional athlete
# Could be exposed in man scheme
# Doesn’t have huge upside
# A little uncomfortable in space
You know the Raider D plays man to man, scouts say that McClain could be exposed in the dept, they also question if he could play the 4-3 defense, he overpurses while playing a 3-4 (being assisted by another MLB) so clearly with the 4-3 he will struggle. What you think about the knock on him comparing to a guy like Spikes who played 4-3 and was the true leader since his junior year and voice of his team.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
Raiders4eve, well it may be true but it is one man’s opinion I don’t agree wit 60% of it. I think he is a good fit in a 4/3 most MLB can be exposed in man scheme no surprise there. I think he has huige upside and most MLB are uncomfortable in space. That is why players need to develope some of those things can change in 3 years. Spikes is the better athlete if that’s what you prefer. A team must decide what players fits their system better. Any of these guy’s would fit very well in our system IMO. Spikes is a bigger more physical Kirk, McClain is more like Beikert just better. Micah is a run stuffer supreme, he will get victimized vs a Saints team or Colts on 3rd down but that’s the same with most MLB. The reason we drafted Kirk was because he could play alll 3 downs and we compromised the run d. You can’t have the perfect MLB even Ray Lewis has his weaknesses they just cover them up well.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
Priesttj
But we need a guy who can solve the problem right away. You said it yourself “A team must decide what players fits their system better” if so, Spikes is the best player between the two. Remember Dorsey, he is a currently a bust cause he couldnt adapt to 3-4, he is a 4-3 three technique player. McClain will need time to learn playing the Mike by himself why take the risk when you can get a guy like Spikes. Did you get a chance to hear him in a game, watch this youtube and tell me if you not impressed.

Brandon Spikes
# Strengths: Great production since sophomore year
# Big-time hitter
# Prototype size and strength
# Always around the ball; active
# Explosive athlete
# Diagnoses run well
# Disengages from blockers
# Aggressive
# Comfortable in space
# Good pursuit
# Physical
# Good vision and can locate ball-carrier
# Durable
# High upside
# Weaknesses:
# Doesn’t always take proper angles
# Hips could be more fluid; a little stiff
# Looks somewhat awkward in zone coverage vs. pass
# Lacks really impressive speed
# Occasionally out of position
# Good aggression, but sometimes does too much (overpursues, goes for big hit)
January 29th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
switching to a 3-4, “blitzburg” defense would be a refreshing change-up next year, especially because this is a defense-rich draft crop. a mountain-type tackle would be a smart pick, and tebow in the 2nd. worst case senerio: tebow beats out russell and is available to run some wild-cat. half-empty: russell gets pissed, improves work habits and makes team on merit.
none of these decisions would make this team any worse…ouch.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
Rolando McClain
# Strengths: Huge frame for ILB
# Very long arms
# Good level of production
# Comfortable in coverage
# Excellent tackling technique
# Stacks and sheds blocks well
# Very good pass rusher
# Love his timing on blitzes
# Nice agility; smooth change of direction
# Highly experienced
# Takes good angles to the ball
# Stays in control
# Nice versatility especially in 3-4 defense
# Vocal leader
# Intelligent
# Very young prospect (20 years old)
# Doesn’t take plays off
# Outstanding instincts
# Well versed in 3-4 defense
# Weaknesses:
# Unimpressive speed
# Overpursues against run
# Questionable 4-3 inside linebacker
# Average sideline-sideline range
# Good, but not an exceptional athlete
# Could be exposed in man scheme
# Doesn’t have huge upside
# A little uncomfortable in space
Now, who sounds like a true Mike between the two?
January 29th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
I am a huge Spikes fan he’s as I said a more physical version of Kirk. I think he would be a great fit. I love his athleticism and leadership He’s not as instinctive IMO but his athleticism helps cover that up. We dn’t need the perfect MLB we need a better MLB Kirk is more suited for a 3/4 inside guy. Where he can justv take a zone and stay in it not have to think as much. Look at Willis for the niners his game is run and chase and be physical he’s not exceptionally instinctive he’s just such a great athlete no one knows it.

Those reviews about McClains supposed weakeness’ sound like someone coming up with reasons for a team like the Raiders to not pick him…..so he can fall to another team who would love to have him!
McClain will be a solid NFL MLB/MIKE/ILB for ANY team IMO.
Watch him light it up at the combine and on his pro days.

January 29th, 2010 at 10:50 pm
Priesttj
But we are not switching to 3-4, if we are I would say draft McClain, since we are not by the offseason move showing that we sticking with Marshal and Wauffle, why draft a guy who will need time to learn the 4-3? Why allow a rookie to struggle under this defense since he never played a 4-3, I am sure you understand that its easier to play 3-4 MLB as you stated run and chase. In 4-3 you will have more task like play zone cover, spy the quarterback, man to man, blitz, call the plays, you think a 20 year old kid who was running and chasing would learn to do all that from the moment you plug him in the starting position?
Look, I know you like the kid but if I am drafting for AL’s defense, Spike or Micah fits the bill.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
We really don’t need to change to a 3/4 we play enough of it to get what we need out of it. When Scott is at DE we are essentially in a 3/4 same principles. We did things on defense last year that I haven’t seen in 20 years or more. We played rover, elephant, cover2 3/4 and 4/3 base there is’t much more that you can do.
We got gashed due to overzealousness overrunning gaps and missed assignments that’s where Kirk really just frustrates me. Because he is usually the one misreading. Tyvon covered up a lot of his mistakes. With a Spikes or McClain, Tyvon can be as good a safety as Ronnie Lott. Tyvon, Huff and Mitchell are 3 outstanding safeties. We just need a guy in the middle who demands consistent great play against the run and Kirk just doesn’t cut it.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
DKnight007
All I am saying there is potential bust for McClain under this defensive system. This defense doesnt play according to his strength, like Priesttj said, the kid likes to run and chase just like Willis. We need a guy who can play man to man 90% of the time. He has never done that, Spikes did. Why draft with ifs when there is a sure MLB that will command the huddle and be a team leader from day 1. Have you seen the Spikes talk to his team. The guy is a leader, aggressive, strong swagger, physically gifted. I would take this guy who can talk and play like that over McClain anytime.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4KJUEdN3T8
January 29th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Man, that guy is so athletic it’s ridiculous……I would love to have that kid at inside backer for the Raiders he’s just a very high motor guy capable of great plays game changing plays.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Spikes never had Mt Cody blocking in front of him, he also had more responsibility as defensive captain, McClain became a captain after the Florida game that is the end season one game before the national championship. Spikes looks more beefed up like a true MLB, McClain looks more like an OLB, he is too tall and needs to add weight. He is only 20 while Spikes is 23. Spikes fits 4-3 from day one, McClain needs maybe a year or two before he adapts. McClain will command 30 mill at least, Spikes can be had late first round or early second.
My pick would be Bruce Campbell most physically gifted OL I ever seen. The guy looks like a DE Julius Pepper. He is muscled up, excellent run and pass blocker, can play man and zone scheme. Runs a 4.7 or 4.8, tall 6′7 you can start him LT right away.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
But guy’s it’s like saying what your favorite ice cream is. These are all very good players that would make this defense better instantly.

Raiders4eve, sounds tooo much like steriods, not saying I know something but every Oline I’ve ever seen that was rocked up was on the juice. Just throwing that out there. There is a kid from Iowa played LT that’s pretty damn good. That Iupulati guy is also interesting.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Raiders4eve, honestly speaking I’m still studying them I want to see the senior bowl so that I can have a better chance to see them on one film. But they say Okung is special but as I said so far I love the Bulaga kid I mean I really like him. He is very physical and is a great technician which I love. LT’s like him are extremely hard to find.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
HEy where is real madden raider…….maybe he aint allowed to stay up this late…….any way chew on this for a while Mr. Madden raider from Monte Poole, you read it…..I know I know that Monte Poole aint nothin but a racsist lol
——————————–
That Jackson is an African-American who played when black quarterbacks were a novelty likely won’t hurt his chances to bond with Russell, who by all accounts was adversely affected by the deaths of two close uncles last year.

I agree and I said earlier he looks like he is juiced up, I dont understand whats up with Maryland football program Merriman, Vernon Davis all looking jizzled up from juice, I hope DHB didnt use it to run 4.3. I would still take this guy juiced up or not he is mean DL killing machine. Thats what we need for our LT or RT position.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:27 pm
Raiders4eve,I don’t know if we can get him cheap maybe but guy’s that are that agressive normally struggling because Oline play is mostly technigue positioning and intellect. Yes you must be strong and physical even powerful but you can’t be aggressive it can work against you. Oline play is passive, Dline play is aggressive.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
Ok first thing first! how can you blame davis for everything? one you dont see any other owners being blamed for their team doing bad! for one i do agree about the Lines! but first round get a good linebacker to improve the core 2nd round will the the biggest piece of the draft for the raiders TERRENCE CODY PERIOD!!! free agency we need to being a big time VETERAN to lead the line. we have everything that we need with cody and a big play LB the defense vs. run no one will get through it morrison is in the top 4 MLB in the NFL but its hard when you dont have the DT to cover him up! LOOK at urlacher not DT he got hurt
1.one of 3 LB’s
2DT cody if we dont have 2nd trade for it
rest of the draft is project OL and another DT
but last things last look at yals self blaming the record on russell give the dude a break hes had a new system to learn every year hes been here on top of that its a rebuilding time i see alot of improvement in the next 2 seasons if we pick like i said
January 29th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Cool, well its been good to hear your input, I am out for the night, gotta hit the club.
Goodnight everyone
January 29th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
plus on the russel thing your wr and te need to be on the same page!!! 2 new wr’s when russel was loosing shows why russell was struggling but when he went to miller he passes looked great!! schilens had been injuried most of the season once he was back russell was on the bench! i cant wait to see miller schillens and murphy with a veteren lineman leading the line! its going to be dangerous!
get rid of kelly,jevon walker worst deals i have ever seen walker hasnt been the same since he got robbed and beat up before ever playing for the raiders
trade fargas for picks or a veteran lineman
bush mcfadden and gary russell can handle the run game

Our most glaring needs are on the O-line, for sure. We’ve needed another OT since the Gallery experiment went tits-up. I mean, we’ve been starting Cornell freaking Green at RT. It can’t get much worse.
Cooper Carlisle has been disappointing, too. Maybe having a better RT will help him, but I wouldn’t be opposed to the Raiders bring in another interior offensive lineman (either a C or G), but that might be better left for free agency if we go OT in the draft.
Still, as much as we need O-line help, I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing our first round pick be Rolando McClain. Big MLB, and a playmaker. Re-sign Howard, keep Trevor Scott playing SLB, and that should help our run defense.
The draft is also deep at the DT position, but something tells me that Al is happy to franchise Seymour, give Shaughnessy (or Ellis if he’s back) the other DE spot, and let Kelly, Warren, and Desmond Bryant (with occasional cameos by Seymour) fight it out on the inside under the new D-line coach.
While I have my doubts that the Raiders can actually develop a young QB, with a new offensive coordinator and Paul Hackett (presumably) still being the QB coach, Dan LeFevour and Tony Pike could both be intriguing options if they’re still around in the 3rd round or so. It would also help push Bruce Gradkowski a little more by giving him some talented young competition (since the whole “talented competition” thing likely won’t come from Jamarcus Russell).
What a lot of people aren’t talking about, however, is the glaring lack of depth at CB. With any luck the whole Stanford Routt debacle has finally come to an end. I’d like to see the Raiders bring in a young corner to play the nickel slot, maybe even spell Chris Johnson on some downs. If I’m not mistaken Lito Sheppard is a free agent and might be a decent pickup, but the knock on him has always been his inconsistent tackling, and who knows if he’s physical enough to play corner in this particular defensive scheme. Still, it seems like anything would be better than Routt and Jonothan Holland being our only backup CBs.

Unless they draft some fruity linemen.
January 30th, 2010 at 7:18 am
We have so many holes, it doesn’t matter if we take an O-lineman first, or a DB first, or a LB first.
But we need a RT, a slot DB, a KR, at least one LB, a DT, and a G (not to mention a QB)
No way do we fill all those holes this year in the draft.
So if we talk Javier Arenas in the 2nd round, and a LB in the first and an O-lineman in the 3rd, I would be elated.
January 30th, 2010 at 7:29 am
Interesting Super Bowl.
You got the 21st and the 24th ranked run D’s (below average) and the Colts have the worst rushing offense in the league.
So a team that can’t run the ball or stop the run is about to win the Super Bowl, lol.
January 30th, 2010 at 7:42 am
Strange to talk about FB as a legitimate position of need, but Dorin Dickerson was a big goal-line threat for Pitt. Good enough hands on the kid for him to see some time at TE, too. Could help us out a lot, considering the alternative is another year with Lawton(probably not)/Reese/Russell.
January 30th, 2010 at 7:49 am
FB is a need, but sometimes you can get the best fullback in college, in the 5th or 6th round.
The draft does not put much emphasis on the FB spot. To short of a shelf life to invest a higher pick on them I guess

Improvement strategy (very insightful):
1) “we got to score more points on offense”
2) “we’ve had a big issue in terms of the big play defensively, giving it up”
3) “finding a return game on our special teams”
No problem!

Cable from a HC’s stand-point has narrowed the Raider’s weaknesses down to just 3 things…Offense, Defense, and Special Teams… Brilliant!
January 30th, 2010 at 8:00 am
I think he forgot Scouting, Drafting, and Player Development.
January 30th, 2010 at 8:28 am
If Jabust is the automatic starter, this organization is a joke. Jabust should not even be on the team, nor should DHB. These players are absolutely terrible! I just cannot get over the ineptness of this organization. Cut your losses!!! Let these players go stink it up somewhere else. Draft some 0-line and D-line, and look to free agency to add some talent. If they bring back Jabust, there will be even fewer fans in the stands. Get over it Al, you made some mistakes, move on. Cable coming back will help with the continuity, but he needs to not play Jabust and DHB if the Raiders are going to have success.
Jabust and DHB need to go!!!!
January 30th, 2010 at 8:31 am
I think DHB will have a much better career than Russell and McFadden.
I know that is not saying much however.
January 30th, 2010 at 8:33 am
What in the hell is al davis doing?
January 30th, 2010 at 8:35 am
I spoke with brian, we both agree to bring in Mike Vick, to compete with Gradkowski and Frye for starting job, best man wins…Russell will be a non factor.
January 30th, 2010 at 8:35 am
When it comes to discussing scouting and drafting during team meetings it really doesn’t matter, cause Al sees their mouth moving but nothing comes out. Al will pick his guy. I won’t get pissed and throw my remote out my window this year… i’m prepared.
January 30th, 2010 at 8:35 am
The Raiders were right to shelf DHB when they did. He had a confidence issue going on, seriously no collegiate WR could be that terrible catching the ball, it had to be all mental.
So his last game, he was open a few times, and caught a TD. Should help him with a little confidence heading into the offseason.

That’s right….that’s why I’m all set for our 8th over-all pick to be….Javier Arenas!
January 30th, 2010 at 8:48 am
I’m not hating on the DHB pick it’s just where he got picked. We coulda picked him up later, and he wouldn’t have had so much pressure on him to adjust to the pro game. Hopefully he’s working on his hands this offseason and Al is working on his drafting skills.
January 30th, 2010 at 8:58 am
Im sure Davis would have loved ot get DHB later,..tried probably to trade out of that 7th pick,..couldnt, so took his guy where he did,..bfd,….get over it.
January 30th, 2010 at 9:10 am
You won’t be mad when Arenas is back returning kicks and giving us better Field position and a few TD’s a year returning kicks.
If he goes to an AFC opponent, he will be a thorn in our side for years.
January 30th, 2010 at 9:11 am
AL is trying to make things so sh!tty for Cable he quits. Its not working..

If theres a deep pass by Russell, its either getting picked or landing in the 4th row in my section.

By the way, I like pbj’s with the crust cut off better than mac n cheese.
January 30th, 2010 at 9:30 am
So have I!!! I was onto him, after the SEC title game.
This team has so many holes, and he is one guy who can fill two holes with one roster spot (return both kicks and punts, and a slot nickle corner).
I hope we get him in the 2nd. Than we can focus on O-line and Run D with the rest of the picks, and maybe a FB in the later rounds.
January 30th, 2010 at 9:33 am
Can we bring in Earnest Byner as running backs coach??
January 30th, 2010 at 9:37 am
Byner for what?….our backs already know how to fumble in crucial times. Hes not needed.
January 30th, 2010 at 9:40 am
No we don’t need Arenes or any other returner or specialist or backer. We need lineman! Won’t win without them.
DHB is a bust. Players drafted in the top 10 are supposed to contribute right away. Unless they are QBs, and they are supposed to show improvement and leadership from day 1
Al Davis drafts these projects that take 5 and 6 years to develop…if they develop at all.
Davis has no clue what he is doing in the draft…that is clear
January 30th, 2010 at 10:00 am

SnB,
If you think the only problem with this team is the lines, you are crazy.
When Routt is on the field, he gets picked on. Nothing would improve our 3rd Down defense better than replacing Routt. NOTHING
January 30th, 2010 at 10:07 am
A good pass rush would benefit us on 3rd down defense more than replacing Routt or anything else. Who rush’s the passer on the Oakland Raiders?

************************************
At the beginning of the draft, no doubt.
But Louis Murphy was the best player taken in the 4th round. Nobody did better than Al in that round.
And Shaughnessy was the second most productive D-lineman as a rookie in the whole draft, behind Orakpo. Not sure, but he may have been the best pick in the 3rd round as well. And Branch, a 4th rounder the year before, lead all safeties in tackles and may make the Pro Bowl if Ed Reed retires in years ahead.
And the top 10 this past year, you have Jason Smith (#2), Tyvon Jackson (#3), Andre Smith (#6), DHB (#7), and Aaron Maybin (#11) that all completely sucked last year. DHB was not even the worst of the group, if you can believe that.
No excusing Al, but you are going off the deep end with this stuff.

Good Morning Nation!
January 30th, 2010 at 10:15 am
We get a decent pass rush. We were eleventh in the league in sacks last year, and all ten teams in front of us in sacks, had over 50 (some 100) more pass attempts against us. In fact, as a % of sacks to pass attempts, we are among the league leaders, if not THE LEADER. WE HAD 5 MORE SACKS THAN THE JETS AND ALL THERE GREAT BLITZES!!!! Here’s the link:
http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?offensiveStatisticCategory=null&archive=false&seasonType=REG&defensiveStatisticCategory=TEAM_PASSING&d-447263-o=2&conference=null&d-447263-s=PASSING_SACKED&d-447263-n=1&season=2009&qualified=true&Submit=Go&tabSeq=2&role=OPP&d-447263-p=1
January 30th, 2010 at 10:19 am
Jets had 32 sacks on 501 pass attempts.
Raiders had 37 sacks on 438 pass attempts, while rarely blitzing.
Pass-rush is not an issue with this team, Stanford Routts’ weekly penalty and big play allowed were.
January 30th, 2010 at 10:22 am
The thing is, the Jets, gave up a completion percentage of 51, and the Raiders is 59.
Now certainly a lot of that for the Jets are QB’s throwing the ball away due to pressure, but we sack the QB more than most teams.
I remember the Giants game where we sacked Eli on a 3rd down. Than *beep* holding #26, 5 yard penalty, automatic first down.
Happens way too often.
January 30th, 2010 at 10:23 am
Eleventh in the league in sacks when our defense was on the field as much as it was isn’t impressive.
SO we were great on sacking the Qb but terrible on 3rd downs. Sacks are nice but how many times did we hurry or disrupt a Qb?
I would put replacing Routt behind a pass rusher and a MLB, basically the last thing we need on Def.
January 30th, 2010 at 10:25 am
Vegas I bet we are at the bottom of forcing 3 & outs. I bet we are at the bottom hurrying or knocking down the Qb. Seymour was basically a non factor after week 1. T Scott, Shaunessy, and Ellis had a few sacks between them but nothing special.
January 30th, 2010 at 10:27 am

January 30th, 2010 at 10:32 am

January 30th, 2010 at 10:33 am
37 sacks in 438 pass attempts is pretty good, and a much better % than just about any team in the league.
We are 8th in the league on 3rd down Defense (btw Colts were last in the league on 3rd down D). What’s with these Colts, they have the worst rushing offense, worst 3rd down defense, 24th best Run D. Do they have anything but a QB????
I never said replacing Routt was top priority for the entire defense, I said top priority on 3RD DOWN DEFENSE, and especially 3rd and longs.
January 30th, 2010 at 10:34 am
Some of the greatest receivers ever struggled with drops early on, like Rice, Freddy B, and Branch yet you guys wanna crucify DHB after a partial season??? Makes no sense. It’s not his fault he was drafted earlier than expected and as long as he keeps that work ethic and humble attitude I don’t mind him being on the team. The guy wants to do better and works to get better, and at this point that’s all we can really ask of him. If he is still stinking it up after year 3 let me know.
When it comes to DMac watch we get Benson’d. The moment he goes elsewhere and is used properly in the pass game and given holes to run through he will be a beast. I just imagined shat he could do if he were playing for a team like the Texans who run block pretty well….scary. He is not getting enough passed, carries, or holes when he does have carries to get anywhere near a rythm. A healthy line and new RG and RT would do wonders for him and Bush. I also have no problems bringing back Reece and Oneal as FB and keeping G Russel as a 3rd Rb instead of Fargas.

January 30th, 2010 at 10:57 am

he got very few passes and when it came to catchable passes even less. He had his share of drops but dropped a lower % of passes thrown to him than Murphy did. He had key drops and that will need to be fixed which us why we brought in a guy like Hue to help. DHB is a hard worker, blocks when passes are caught by teammates and in the run game. As long as he is working and making strides that’s all I care about. If after his 3rd year he still can’t get it together then I will be right with u on getting rid of him.

DHB seems to do everything well, except the most important part catching.
I know a WR should be able to catch, but you have to believe his hands weren’t as bad as last year, he was an in-over-his-head rookie.
He does block real well, especially in the run game (his block in week 2 cleared the way for Darren’s winning TD), and seems to run decent routes and is open.
Just learn to catch (LOL) and everything will be great!!!
January 30th, 2010 at 11:12 am
DMAC is an abject failure and will NEVER be successful no matter how he is used.
Fumbling and tackling yourself are wholly unrelated to offensive scheme.
Trade the disgrace while he is still worth a seventh rounder.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Since it seems we only trade with New England, and the Pats are in desperate need of a RB or two, if we did trade Darren, the Pats would be our likely trading partner.
My guess, Al doesn’t do any trading except to trade up in this years draft.
I can’t see Al just sitting back with two 3’s and two 5’s and just drafting players. Not happening.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:28 am
Problem with Bey is he was a converted track star.
Never grew up learning and perfecting the #1 priority, which is CATCHING THE BALL.
#1 knock in college was he dropped or bobbled easy balls.
And dispute all the assts. drilling him, just seems to be one of those things that will always plague him..well, at least for the next couple of years until he’s out of the league.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:28 am
They must call u Ricochet cuz nothing u say can stick. Ok the greatest WR had a great game his rookie year how many other rookie receivers struggled??? Wr and Qb are two of the toughest positions to transition from college to the NFL, Branch dropped passes left and right and Freddy B was on the verge of getting cut before he cleaned up his act. DHB actually only dropped 6 passes all year, about 1 every other game. Rice dropped 15 as a rookie and he was catching passes from Montana.

They also stated that he is not aggressive or hungry enough meaning he plays soft, I remember meachem having the same problems his first year now dores DHB have Brees as a QB? No, unless he goes to a guy like Tim Brown or J Rice he won’t know what Wrs mean, I agree with Richochet dude was a track star not a football player he gotta want success demand the ball become arogant Wrs otherwise he will get punked fromeveryone including Murphy who will demand the ball
more.

If JIM HARBAUGH were hired as Head Coach, then I would be pumped…..other than that….this franchise and team still have a ways to go to turn the ship around.
I think with Hue as OC, he will get the running game going and implement the type of blocking schemes used in B-More.
Basically NOTHING has been done to make me want to rush out and waste my money, time and energy on buying Season Tickets thats for sure.

They must call u Ricochet cuz nothing u say can stick. Ok the greatest WR had a great game his rookie year how many other rookie receivers struggled??? Wr and Qb are two of the toughest positions to transition from college to the NFL, Branch dropped passes left and right and Freddy B was on the verge of getting cut before he cleaned up his act. DHB actually only dropped 6 passes all year, about 1 every other game. Rice dropped 15 as a rookie and he was catching passes from Montana.
======================
Oh geez..another challenged poster.
Are you actually comparing arguably one of the biggest busts of last year with Rice?
Yeah, Bey dropped 6…ONLY CAUGHT 9 ALL YEAR. 124 yds..FOR THE YEAR.
Rice had 49 receptions, over 900 yds. and won OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.
It’s asinine to state “well, so and so struggled when they started”. What the hell does that have to do with anyone else?
Same idiots ran the “Well, in his first year Elway and Manning had bad stats like JR”..running the “So JR COULD turn out just like them”..just like you’re running with Bey.
Bey sucks, plain and simple. You stating “Oh..gosh..let’s give him 3 years..THEN I’LL ADMIT HE SUCKS” makes you slow as hell.

all this goofy crap about firing a Head Coach before looking for a new one is just plain stupid…

not after…
===================
Thanks for proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that you not only know squat, but that you’re a freaking idiot…
WRONG, DUMBASS..that is NOT how it’s done.
I can name you HUNDREDS OF INSTANCES WHERE SOMEONE GOT FIRED/CANNED/RELEASED..where the interviewing process THEN STARTED.
Who in the hell goes out and publicly INTERVIEWS..solicits applications…WHEN THE PERSON THEY’RE GOING TO REPLACE IS STILL ON THE JOB???
Boss: “Hi..oh..psst?? I’m going to fire Joebob over there…so I’m interviewing everyone before I can him…try to avoid eye contact with the other employees..don’t want them getting wind of it”
OR “Let’s keep this hush hush..don’t want it out..because, after all, interviewing while the guy is still on the job is about as sorryass tacky as you can get”????
YOU’RE A FREAKING IDIOT, FLORIDAPETEY.

Raiders4eve is right..Bey is afraid of contact..that momentary flinch and tightening up as you go into traffic.
Anyone remember the last speed demon in the same situation?
Track star. “Fastest man in America”..won a “Battle of the Stars” that Dwight Clark was in, who got him a tryout with the Niners, and made the team.
Reynaldo Nehemiah, like Bey, was a track star, fast as hell, and couldn’t catch the ball.
Like Nehemiah and the Niners, Bey will suffer the same fate.
If you didn’t grow up, going across the middle, or being exposed to hits, trying to learn that as an adult is damn near impossible for some.

Actually, I have a glimmer of hope in this year’s Raiders because I have full belief that Hue Jackson will run the offense with little interference from Cable. Jackson will hopefully choose the starting lineup…of course with inflluence for Davis….but then again Jackson had options…so he knows what he’s getting into and I believe he wants to succeed.
Jackson was a surprising hire. Let’s hope Davis lets him do his job.
Especially when it comes to JaDavis

i’m not ready to give up on DHB. i’ve ripped him before, but then realized Russell would make Jerry Rice seem average. if he’s the fastest guy on the field, he better start using his wheels. right now he’s a one-route-runner who can’t catch. pick one.

January 30th, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Nmamdi21,
If that is true and Russell is indeed in AZ training, and getting in shape, that is great news. I was concerned with the way the offseason started with him reportedly blowing off the last meeting for Vegas. As much as Priest, myself, and a few dwindeling supporters can hope, and wish that he takes his job seriously, only HE can do it if HE really wants it. It would be a great sign to his teammates and the organization if he showed up about 20 lbs. lighter and ready to work this offseason, and get his career back on track.
January 30th, 2010 at 5:08 pm
I think one of Russell’s biggest problems is that since peewee football, through high school, and even in college, he was probably always bigger and stronger than everybody else, and success came easy to him. Then he got to the pros, and these are grown men. This is their livelihood. You have to be willing to outwork them, everyday, in film study and extra practice. If you’re not willing to do this you will jeapordise your own success,and therefore your teammates. Hopefully, last seasons debacle was a slap in the face, and a real eye opener for Jamarcus.
January 30th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
Haven’t watched the whole recording yet, but what I saw of the senior bowl earlier, that guard from Idaho looked to be struggling at the senior bowl today. I saw him give up a sack, and really struggle to hold his ground against the pass rush. Didn’t get to see him run block in the couple of series I watched. Any thoughts on today’s game? Never saw Tebow.

if anybody saw the senior bowl today a guy that is worth looking at is brandon graham. imagine that kind of speed and power on this dline if we move seymour inside. that whole north defense was amazing but dan williams kicked much azz too.
January 30th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Armond, I saw the kid Graham and totally agree I wouldn’t take at #8 but in 2nd rnd yeah. I think he is an excellent edge rusher I’m not sure he has the strength to bull ruah but he reminds me of Burgess.
Dan Williams is as good a DT as there is in this draft he and Odrick and Lamarr from Texas. That ssenior was loaded with talent.
January 30th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
That senior bowl was loaded with talent.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
Tim Tebow looks like garbage. IMO there isn’t a QB in this draft that can carry Russell jock. They are all mid 1st at best. Pike looks weak and will take 3-5 years to develope. Bradford might turn out to be something but he has to learn the pro-game. The rest of them are reaches in the 1st rnd.
The best players are on the lines and at HB there are some outstanding talents at HB. I need to see Okung, but IMO Bulaga is in the top 2-3 Olineman. And the kid McClain is not as athletic as Spikes but he is every bit as good and has a ton of upside. I think by the time he is 24-5 he will be very dominant. As will Spikes.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
priest is just like we were saying that this years dline class is much better than last years. we got some solid players like d bryant and matt shawny. i think shawny can be pretty good but this year has some special guys who can be game changers unlike last year. gliyard is the kind of wr i liked more than heybey also. alualu had a good game and weatherspoon was all over the place.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
tebow has an awful lot of work to do. zac robinson looked good but the others didnt do much for me. ducasse put on some really good blocks punching people with ease and that front 7 for the north just dominated all game. there is no doubt that the lines are the strength of this draft. i was hoping pat angerer wouldve played this game. if there was a year to trade down to get more picks this is it. with all the depth people will be more willing to move up this year and we could still get some very good guys. i know it wont happen but we should if our top guys arent at 8.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
Yeah Spoon looks to me more like a SLB or iLB on 3/4 Gilyard is a player for sure but at this point I would rather have one of the HB’s there is only maybe one WR I’d take in the 1st 2 rnds Dez Bryant. Those HB’s are outstanding I think we will take one they’re just too good to pass up.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
dan williams might be worth that 8th pick if he continues where he left off today. cody did good but seeing them next to each other showed me alot. can u believe all the talent that was there without some of the other seniors like spikes angerer and so on? not to even mention the juniors coming out. this is a damn good draft this year. also that koa misi that they were looking at was good as well.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
Armond witout a doubt there will be a dominant player at 8 this draft goes about 13 deep in top teir talent if the right guy is there we have to take him. The only way I trade down is if someone overpays for the pick. That someone might be the 49ers.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:26 pm
Has anyone looked up the stats as far as howmany times Raiders were sacked? I mean, how bad was the O line this year really? Russell was NOT under constant duress, it was just when he was, he either fumbled or threw an int. it seemed.
To m,e the D line was the worst and needs the most help. I’m soooooo sick of being one of the worst teams against the run in the league. You’d think after 7 yrs. the Raiders would be able to fix such a glaring problem, but noooooooooooooooooo. Gimme a break! Fix this already, jeeeeez.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:27 pm
if we are going hb then gerhardt is my first choice.what i liked about the north defense is u had a bunch of high energy guys with alot of talent playing 2gether. there was no let up from any of those guys. man ill tell u that graham was outstanding today.this is why i say to move seymour inside and have him play majority snaps at dt. we will still move him up n down the line but we really need a guy on the edge with some closing speed like that.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
Yeah was special but I temper it with the fact that he was going up against average OT. I would love to get film of him vs Bulaga so that I could gage both of them. A player of Graham’s talent is a definite need for us. We struggled to get to the QB this year. But I think he can be had in the 2nd if we can get a OT or MLB in the 1st. Last year we had 5 out of the 7 draftd make the 53 man roster we need the same efficiency this draft. We also had 2 undrafted players make the 53 man roster which is extraordinary.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:37 pm
IMO Gerhardt is one of the most underrated talents in this draft and he may last until the 3rd rnd believe it or not.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
priest just lookin at grahams numbers he seemed to be consistant but under the radar maybe cuz of michigan falling out of the spotlight. id like to see bulaga also but im not surprised that gerhardt could slip to the 3rd with all that fb talk. i hope so cu i would definately take him. depending on what we do in free agency we might be able to go in different directions come draft day. cook is an interesting prospect at cb. i like those big and physical cbs. he is kind of in the same situation namdi was in when he came out.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
who’s cook?
January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 pm
Loved seeing Iupati and Williams go at it a few times.
Iupati handled him well in the beginning but Williams came back and made some plays and caused Iupati to hold.
As I stated before…..I wouldn’t be surprised to see Williams being ranked higher than Cody when it is all said and done come draft day IMO.

I think Lal should go back to quality control coach on the offensive side and I think Skipper should be fired and Tollner should coach the WR’s.
Tollner can teach the WR’s how to prepare and play better than Lal IMO.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
cook is the cb from virginia they were talking about being similar to sean smith from utah last year. cook goes about 6′2 210 and can play cb and maybe fs if cb doesnt work out well but he is a pretty cb. he is probably best suited for a team that likes to play man most likely because of his size.

Graham would be a solid RDE IMO…just needs to add about 10 pounds muscle.
Jean Pierre-Paul a junior may end up being the ideal 4-3 RDE though.
January 31st, 2010 at 12:08 am
I did some research on the kid and he’s more suited for zone actually may be even a safety. He desn’t run well enough to play for us. You don’t get into our secondary with 4.5 speed you need to be sub4.4. He runs a 4.55 perfect zone guy he’s physical. Nnamdi ran a 4.3 at safety. We drafted Lester Hayes who was also 6′1″ 220 played OLB we made a corner because he ran 4.3 the rest is history.

I know guy’s are down on CJ and Routt but if you loooka round the league they’re as good a 2nd and 3rd corner as there is. CJ had a tough year. But unless we can get a guy under 4.4 forget it. Jon Holland could make the transition. He wouldn’t be the first Terry McDaniel was a WR at Tenn his soph year made the switch to DB his Jr. year.

Thoughts on the Senior Bowl:
- Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan looks like a real nice player. And this wasn’t a one-game wonder situation. I’ve seen a few Mich games and he’s someone who stands out consistently. Ate the South team’s lunch today and shows a good burst, technique and was credited by the announcers as being a very stout point of attack run defender throughout his college career. Probably a mid-first rounder with a chance to climb. I wouldn’t complain if he’s our guy at No. 8 with Seymour sliding down to DT.
- Mike Iupati, G, Idaho is someone I’ve been real high on. He’s big with long arms, quick feet and has been an excellent blocker throughout his college career. Considered possibly the best player all week at the Senior Bowl practices by some accounts. Uneven game today. I typically think it’s just talk when analysts talk about the struggles of a guy moving from LT to RT or LG to RG or whatever, but for whatever reason that’s what I saw from Iupati today. He played LG all season at Idaho. In this game when he was lined up at LG he dominated in the run game and stonewalled his man in pass protection on every play. More than once I saw him take out two defenders on running plays including the Legarratte Blount TD run which was to Iupati’s side. But at RG he didn’t look nearly as crisp with a blatant hold that wiped out a TD pass and allowing a sack from that side as well. In theory, this would be a problem for us since Gallery is entrenched at LG and Iupati would most likely slide to RG or RT. However, I still think this kid is going to be a premiere offensive lineman in the league for years to come. He probably just has to get familiar with the position switch for starters. A couple other small things he needs to work on are that he grabs defenders too much which could lead to lots of holding penalties. He needs to control his hands better. And even though he has very quick feet for a guy his size, his feet weren’t active enough today. The WAC is decent competition but I think he probably developed some bad habits because he could dominate d-linemen without having to move his feet much. But I think this is small stuff and as long as he has a good attitude good NFL coaching will have this kid ready to roll by Week 1.
- Mardy Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati supposedly struggled this week but was easily the runner-up to Graham for the game MVP. Kid is quick but what impressed me even more are his ball skills. He caught a pair of deep balls and what really impressed me is that he didn’t tip off the CB either time that the ball was coming. He’s just looking back, looking back, looking back — and then at the last milisecond sticks his hands out and snatches the ball. This prevents the defender from getting an arm out to bat the ball away or turn and locate the pass in the air and is an extremely underrated ability.
- The QB play was shaky at best. LeFevour had the best game of the QBs highlighted by a perfect strike on a rainbow, in-stride 40-yard TD pass to Gilyard. Zac Robinson of Oklahoma State had a few nice moments, but also had I believe a fumble and a pick. In his defense the North d-line was extremely dominant and applying lots of pressure. Tony Pike was average. Canfield from Oregon State looked rough. Tebow looked a bit sloppy: a pair of fumbles, long windup delivery, his running style won’t translate into big yards against this caliber athlete on defense. Still, it is clear that the kid is a leader. I haven’t been high on him at all but if a team could get him in Round 3 or later and let him develop for a couple of years as the backup to a vet QB I believe he could eventually be a good NFL QB.
- Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State is a tough player. This is a guy o-linemen are going to hate to deal with. Non-stop motor. Can go through or around you. Barring injury, he’s going to be a prominent player for at least a decade.
- Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri is someone the Raiders were reportedly interested in down there. Showed great leadership as the clear leader of the North’s D and picked off a pass in addition to making some tackles. Definitely a nice player but the problem is I don’t quite see him being worth the No. 8 pick and I’d be very surprised if he’s still around when we pick in Round 2.
A few other guys who I thought looked pretty good: Cam Thomas, DT, North Carolina. Mike Neal, DT, Purdue. Sam Young, RT, Notre Dame. Lonyae Miller, RB, Fresno State. Legarratte Blount, RB, Oregon. Koa Misi, OLB, Utah. AJ Edds, OLB, Iowa. Jacoby Ford, WR, Clemson. Tyson Alualu, DT, California. Geno Atkins, DT, Georgia. And I’m sure there were some others I just didn’t watch that closely or forgot to mention.
January 31st, 2010 at 12:26 am
i like cj alot its routt that i want replaced. alot of people are down on cj but i didnt expect him to be a shutdown cb. its rare to have to let alone one on a team. i think cook could handle man well but if he runs a 4.5 then yeah he aint playin here. first priority is the lines and lb. i really hope oneal is good to go this year cuz we need a fb bad. i think reece can be big threat like larry centers was. if he can just be a decent blocker he might make the team.
January 31st, 2010 at 12:38 am
If we can somehow get Bulaga for either OT psosition I think we’re set for starters we need depth. Mario can stay at LT and put Bulaga at RT Walker at RG and maybe in Satele’s second year under Cable he’s better. BUt that IMO solidifies the starting lineup. Then come back and get the MLB or an edge rusher which I think we desparately neeed. MLB can be gotten later. BUt if other GM’s are stupid enough to leave Gerhardt on the board until the 3rd we have to take him……….period

Have to agree with the takes on the lines.
The NT from NC was pretty impressive as well. Can’t recall his name, but there were so many guys like Armond and Priest were saying.
Good breakdown Chris. I agree with you on Iupati. I’d take him at 8 without question. Williams from Tenn is another guy that stood out to me..
I’m off LB, CB, and WR!
Without question we need to draft an impact player on one of the lines.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:26 am
Lamarr Houston from Texas is a true 4-3 DT
January 31st, 2010 at 7:27 am
Fix the O line.
Get FA Chester Pitts from Houston.
Sure he plays left gurad, but flop Gallery over to right and we’re onto somthing?
Fix the O line.
I didn’t want to say AND…get a new center and right tackle.
Might find a tackle in the draft? You know, if he can run the proverbial 4.4 40…

==============================
Reece could be one to watch if he’s shown progression. Loses the handle on the ball I think…might be a ncie H back in there.
Oren is likely not going to be able to live up to that vast potential.
Oakland wanted to ask alot of its FBs, needing a well rounded, pass blocking, receiving second level blocker and looked to have two of the better FBs a few seasons ago with Oren and Justin Griffith (a FA this year) but then they got injured and Oaklands FB s fell off a cliff with practice squad fodder.
FB is crucial this year. CRUCIAL. Almost as crucial as MLB and yeah, I mean that.
You’ve got two potential stud RBs and Fargas who can chew up yards between the 20s with the best of them, but you get into goal to go and the Raiders have sucked seri-azz.
Get a badd azz FB AND run more jumbo packages please!
Fix the O line!
January 31st, 2010 at 7:36 am
Just not seeing it in CJ and Routt.
Routt as a nickle corner is a disaster. I actually would prefer to see him start on the outside. He’s a much better player on the outside with the sideline as an ally.
CJ seems to be better suited for the nickle role. Then again, a better pass rush and Branch knowing Marshall’s defense a bit better from a zone coverage standpoint might make CJ look a little better.
But Routt as a nickle is something I’m not looking forward to seeing again.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:40 am
Houston looked good. Don’t know about him at 8, and I don’t think he lasts until round 2.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:42 am
Reese is an interesting guy. I like what he brings to the offense as an option in the passing game. If the guy can block at all, he’d be a real nice guy to have at FB.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:43 am
The biggest loser in yesterday’s game was Dexter McCluster.
He looked way out of his league, fumbled, never broke a tackle, and looked very tentative returning kicks.
Graham, Lefebvre, Gilyard all did themselves a lot of favors.
My boy Arenas gave up the TD on a perfectly thrown pass. He was on the outside and he is better suited on the nickle. Looked sweet returning kicks, though.
And Tebow…..YIKES!!! For a supposed big tough guy, he sure is uncomfortable in the pocker.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:47 am
I know everyone wants to draft like 5 O-lineman (joking, but only kind of) in the draft, but there is only two jobs at most available on the line.
Henderson is the LT, at least for one more year. Same goes with Satele, and as long as Gallery is healthy he is starting at LG. RG at RT are available, and I am sure we will bring in at least one FA who will compete for one of those two jobs.
I see a 3rd round pick on a T, and maybe a 5th or 6th for a G prospect.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:48 am
Good morning JHill,Nnamdi21
Marcel Reese is an intriguing young prospect on offense, along with TE Brandon Meyers, that I would like to see more of. Reese seems like an excellent receiver from the FB position. As a rookie he won some kind of award from Lance for having an outstanding camp. As a rookie he made a nice td catch against Tenn, in the preseason. A game that was memorable for a couple of JLH brain farts in the return game. In the season finale vs. Balt., Reese made a nice catch. Almost made a great one handed catch vs tight coverage about 20 yds downfield. If he can offer anything as a blocker, he would make an outstanding outlet receiver from the FB position. A hell of a lot better than watching passes clank off of Luke Lawton’s hands.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:51 am
Mornin’ everyone …
January 31st, 2010 at 7:54 am
Vegas,
I’d be pretty disappointed to see our first Oline pick in the 3rd rd.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:56 am
I went back last night at looked at the Jets drafts of late, since they seem to be the team du jour when it comes to the build the lines debate.
They haven’t taken a defensive lineman in the first 3 rounds in six years. SIX YEARS!!!! I counted at least 3 LB’s.
09: Sanchez, Shonn Greene were the first two picks
08: Gholtson, Erik Ainge (QB), and a WR first 3 picks
07: Revis, Harris (LB), Clowney (DB) first 3 picks and a great draft
06: Ferguson, Kellen Clemons first two picks
05: Traded out of the first, and in the second…a kicker!!!
I like the Jets idea of building there lines through FA, and surrounding those vets with skilled LB’s, DB’s, and QB’s. They took a QB with one of their first 3 picks in three of the last 5 years.
I thought it was interesting.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:59 am
Jhill,morning!….
We cant afford NOT 2 take Lamarr Houston at #8.By Gawd AL drat this kid at #8!!!!
We couldnt afford NOT 2 take Alex Mack at #7 but we did.I dont care the number,it means nothing 2me….We gotta start with the lines,I prefer the D-LINE….
Lamarr Houston at #8…..
Man we coulda had Mack last year.Mack and Houston woulda made a perfect starting point,imo
January 31st, 2010 at 7:59 am
I know you would JHill, I am sorry.
But don’t discredit a 2nd or 3rd round pick on the O-line.
You can get a legit NFL starter in those rounds for the O-line.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:01 am
Pete’s guy Dan Williams, IMO, looked way better than Cody.
I know it is only one game, but Williams looks like he can stay on the field for a 3rd and long. Cody will never play on 3rd and longs.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:03 am

He did Vegas….but already at 327 and still a kid,just how big is this kid gonna get?.Alto Williams is a nose tackle and Houston has only played the 4-3 at Texas.
If we gonna play a lot of 3-4 than Williams is our man,but if we mostly stay with a 4-3 Houston is our man.There are “some” other true DT’s
January 31st, 2010 at 8:08 am
Jhill,
Did you see this stat that I posted yesterday?
vegas raider Says:
January 30th, 2010 at 10:19 am
Jets had 32 sacks on 501 pass attempts.
Raiders had 37 sacks on 438 pass attempts, while rarely blitzing.
Pass-rush is not an issue with this team, Stanford Routts’ weekly penalty and big play allowed were.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:13 am
Vegas,
The only spot on the line that is secure is Gallery. Henderson can always be moved to the Right Side if necessary. The Raiders lost 4 QBs in the last 4 games of the year. The QBs were getting smashed. Hopefully Hue Jackson (thank goodness for this hire) will adjust the offense to run the ball more. Regardless, every O-Line position needs an upgrade. Alex Mack last year would have been a great pick. This year, the Raiders need to take one of those tackles.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:13 am
Good morning to all my friends in here, no better way to start a blessed day, a day of God, then to greet you all, while thinking of Jesus, on this Sabbath.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:17 am
As for the defensive line…how many years of getting pounded into fine dust do you guys have to endure to realize we have no defensive tackles. The opponent runs unobstructed through the line, the linebackers are not kept clean, and at the end of the day…the team is ranked in the 30s in run defense.
The D-Line makes the linebackers…not the backassward way you all think. The Raiders need D-Tackles….forget about rushing the passer…that won’t change until the scheme changes…get DTs that clog the middle, get a bull rush, and command double teams so that the linebackers can fly around
Fix the lines first….as for free agency…I would rather go to free agency to get a Nickle Corner or linebacker.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:21 am
The good news for the Raiders is that this years draft seems deep in two of their biggest areas of Need, OL and DT. The right side of the OL needs rebuilt, and a young DT to add to the rotations is needed. I still think their biggest priority ought to be a true run stuffing MLB. I like capt. Kirk, just not in the middle; doesn’t clog the running lanes, not physical enough to take on blocks, over pursues. A Beast like McClain or even Spikes would be a huge upgrade. IMO. With those extra picks Al has some ammunition to move around and hopefully pick up a few quality starters. Upgrade the line of scrimmage, where football games are won and lost.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:22 am
Vegas,
I liked the way we attacked the Oline, especially later in the year. But CJ was already battling injuries by then.
I’d prefer to see CJ on the inside and Routt on the outside if Routt has to stay.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:23 am
This is a sabbath?
January 31st, 2010 at 8:26 am
Buckeyeraider,
Kirk may indeed need to be replaced. But not before Gerard Warren. The Raiders have no run stopping DT up the middle. If they move Seymour, then the DE becomes an issue again.
Leave Seymour outside and draft a run stopping DT ASAP. I would get the Williams kid from Tennessee, yes, at #8. Like 4eva reminds us, everyone complained about reaching for Mack last year…well…we took another freekn skill position player at 8 that was outperformed by a guy taken in the 4th round.
Meanwhile, Mack was a machine, as we saw upfront. D-Line before linebackers….Guards and Tackles before Receivers and Running Backs
January 31st, 2010 at 8:27 am
Still disagree SnB …
I think this year’s run defense was MUCH better than the past few years. We both reference the NFLN, right? That show playbook really pointed out a lot of our problems against the run and it WAS the LBs. It was more of our LBs not staying in their gap that gave up the big run. We were not gashed for the 5 to 6 yd runs every play that we have in the past.
Matter of factly, the last playbook we saw was the coaches putting Morrison on blast when Rice broke that play to the outside. “I just don’t know what Morrison was doing there!” How many times have we said that?
With that said, I’d go impact DT with Williams in this draft over McClain or Spikes.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:28 am
We also don’t need another pass rusher. The pass rush is dictatated by the D-Coordinator having the backbone to call his own game and not be overly influenced by the General Manager on game day.
This team needs a LINE CLOGGING DT and an OT that doesn’t hold, false start or get overwhelmed
January 31st, 2010 at 8:30 am

January 31st, 2010 at 8:32 am
Gerard Warren frustrates the hell out of me. There are times when he looks unblockable He can be so quick off the snap, into the backfield wreaking havoc, that you can see why he was the third overall pick in the draft. But, he comes from that Warren Sapp school of football, where if he accidentaly tackles a rb on the way to the QB, so be it. The run d suffers because of it. If he would restructure his contract and accept a reduced role of third down pass rush specialist, while being replace with a young , run stuffing slab of beef on early downs, that would be ideal. Don’t know if he’d be willing to do it however.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:33 am
THAT BUST DMAC TO BE TRADED!
January 31st, 2010 at 8:35 am
Good Morning Nation, The Only Nation.
With the Jackson hiring does this mean we will run his style of offense? or will we still be zone blocking with Cable’s style. If Jackson has the green light then all is good to allow him to draft who he feels helps his style of offense. If cable will still be in charge of his personel moves then why waist a pick on an O-Lineman in the first there are not any zone blockers in the first. I also think that we need a true fullback that was one of our biggest weaknesses this last season. Getting McFadden moved around with Bush in the backfield would look awesome from a strategic standpoint. Running the ball from a spread out type offense from time to time would keep the defense honest.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:36 am
I think that with Scott moving to OLB, and the cast we have to audition for the other 2 positions, I think we pass on LB this year. Morrison, Brown, Norris, Nixon, and Williams will all fight it out for the other 2 spots.
I for one want to see Warren and Kelly back. Add Williams to that mix along with Bryant and that is a NICE group of DTs!
January 31st, 2010 at 8:37 am
My friends and I always spend a day in Napa, hang around the Marriott pool getting drunk seeing alot of legends, players, Raider staff,…this year when we see Russell, we will boo,..might as well start early, why wait til the games begin?…I wonder if hes ever been boo`d in a hotel lobby?
January 31st, 2010 at 8:38 am
Gerrard Warren is CONSTANTLY doubled. Does he plow that double? Not often, but the fact that he is taking up 2 blockers, he’s doing his job. Teams don’t double team slouches.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:39 am
JHill,
The run defense gives up 155 yds per gm on the ground. Admittedly, back linebacking play certainly helps get you there, but we also know that teams have as a strategy to run right at the Raiders. They do that because they know this team is weak up the middle.
Look at the Vikings. Decent LB in EJ Henderson…but boss DTs upfront.
Packers were #1 in run defense…boss D-Line
Pittsburgh, Dallas…same thing…
A consistent theme of the top run defenses is strong DT play.
THe Raiders keep believing that GErard wArren, Tommy Kelly and guys like TErdell Sands are good enough to get buy…..
I am all about fixing the entire team. I just think you start upfront first.

If we are going to trade underproductive players, we would be left without a team lol.
The team as a whole underproduced from top to bottom. The defense allowed to many big plays wiht no gap control and poor tackling, the O-Line wow enough said there they flat out sucked, the QB play wow our only healthy QB was Jmac so that says alot, and coaching was by far the biggest area of concern and yet Cable is still here.
This to me is freakin annoying that he remains on the staff, he is by far the one top blame for our collapse. He held vendettas with players (Michael Bush, Jmac) placing blame instead of accepting his responsability until the end of the year. Not allowing our best RB to play cause he hurt his feelings by wanting Gillbride. Not to mention the freakin off week for players to relearn what they knew “how to miss tackles” what a waist of time.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:43 am
SnB,
All these great teams at stopping the run, who do they have in the middle? Not high draft picks.
The Ravens have first rounds picks at LB, and a 6th round pick Kelly Gregg in the middle. Jets have first round picks at LB, and FA’s in the middle. Cowboys have a 7th round pick who dominates the middle. There are some teams with first rounders in the middle (Vikings, Steelers), but they seem to be the exception not the rule.
Our D-line needs one big improvement, and that is Warren. But of all our D-linemean, HE WAS THE ONE DRAFTED THE HIGHEST.
Seymour would start and be the best if not 2nd best D-lineman on any team in the league. Ellis is very stout against the run and a former Pro-Bowler. TK always finishes in the top 5 in tackles and tackles for lossed for D-lineman (not saying he is a top 5 DT, but those numbers have to prove he is at the least average).
We need LB’s. Just about every good D in this league has 1st rounders at LB. We have 3rd and 6th rounders. This has to change.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:43 am
SnB,
Who was the fat guy on Wauffle’s Dlines? I don’t think there was one. Hell, even Justin Tuck was playing DT. was he even 300lbs?

If Davis wore the uniform I would boo him too,..not into booing a jump suit,..and besides that, Russell is such a disrespectful prick, he and his posse, they deserve it,…Davis drafted the guy, paid him, unsure why I would boo him for that,..there are reasons to boo him, none related to Russell though,..I guess I could boo him for drafting russell,..ok,.ya,..youre right,..I will boo Davis for that.

January 31st, 2010 at 8:50 am
JHill,
You say Warren does his job, drawing constant double teams, and you are fine with our returning crop of LB’s. Somebody on here posted last night that TKelly is always among the top five for tackles among interior lineman, and he is certainly paid top 5 money. The ends are pro bowl caliber Seymoure and Ellis. I like our trio of young safeties. But, there is a problem somewhere in the run D, it’s constantly in the bottom of the league, damn near last, and they give up too many huge running play. It needs fixed, somehow, someway. The sooner the better.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:50 am
LB’s are the greatest need for our D. Our LB’s take wrong angles and cannot fight off a block from a fullback. They also bite big time on play action and get caught creeping up on run plays. That is why we blitz them instead of getting them exposed just blitz them and see what happens. Our D line is not all that bad it’s who is behind them that suck starting with the LB’s. When Mitchelle was in the game playing the run we did great, he has the hard hitting and LB mentality to play there, and if he gets caught biting on play action he has the speed to make up for it.

We do have to fix the O-line and improve the D-line, no doubt whatsoever.
But if you think we draft a couple of guys for those units this year, and Morrison is all of sudden going to start shedding blocks and stop taking bad angles, that Jamarcus will stop overthrowing guys, that Routt will be a good nickle corner, and that it won’t matter that we can’t return a kick past the 20, YOU ARE CRAZY!!!
January 31st, 2010 at 8:55 am
I wouldn’t say I’m fine with our LBs. I’m just saying that I think Ricky Brown, Kirk Morrison, Nixon, and Norris will all get a chance to fill those open spots. Ricky Brown is without question in the plan.

We also don’t need another pass rusher. The pass rush is dictatated by the D-Coordinator having the backbone to call his own game and not be overly influenced by the General Manager on game day.
———————-
Agree about the d-coordinator needing to mix it up and blitz, disagree about the need for another pass rusher. Aside from a good QB, an elite pass rushing DE might be the most valuable piece on a football team. Seymour isn’t really a pass rusher, more of a collapse the pocket guy. Shaughnessy looked pretty good but he’s not Jared Allen or Dwight Freeny. Trevor Scott can find his way to the QB at times in stunts and blitzes but gets stonewalled and applies Zero pressure too often. We have some guys with potential but I think we’re far from loaded with pass rushers.
The run D is a tough issue to figure out. At times these guys look great stuffing the run. Seriously. But then every single game an RB will break off 1 or 2 40-yard runs. That’s unacceptable. It makes our mean run defense average terrible, but I bet our median average isn’t that bad. It’s these big plays that kill it. Not sure how to fix that and I don’t think the coaches and players do either.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:00 am
Good morning Nation.
Weatherspoon looks like he can play both ILB & OLB. He is 6′1 240+, and runs a 4.5!! We know Al thinks he will be a great player. A few reportts showthat our scouts had interest in him.
He is rated as a low 1st early 2nd!
Ummm, I think Al is going to reach again!!

Norco,
booing is a waisted emotion, cheering your team when they are done on themselves or making a bad play is what makes us die hard fans. Not fairweathered fans that only stick by you when you are winning.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:04 am
Vegas,
When your offense has Peyton Manning and puts up 30 a game…then you don’t need run defense.
the Raiders WILL NEVER get to that level of offensive efficiency as long as Al Davis runs the drafts, free agency etc…so the better bet is to shore up the defense so that we can keep the score low and compete.
When the Strong Safety is #2 in team tackles….that means way too many running backs getting through the front 7.
Teams elect to run on us because they know the DTs are soft up the middle and that Kirk Morrison can’t get it done.
So the 1st round should go O-Line / D-Line….2nd round goes to linebacker. Again, we can hopefully agree that Warren and Kelly ain’t it…I also acknowledge that Morrison ain’t it….so let’s build INSIDE OUT!
Why do the Raiders keep trying to build the other way? Its been an abject failure.
We haven’t stopped the run since Sam Adams & Ted Washington
January 31st, 2010 at 9:08 am

O Mock Draft 4.0:
1- OT B Campbell
2- LB Weatherspoon
3- DT Cam Thomas
3- DE Austen Lane
4- ILB Micah Johnson
5- CB Walter Thurmond
5- PR/ KR Leroy Vann
January 31st, 2010 at 9:12 am
Chris in NY,
When we start having to find the median yards per game on the run defense to justify this roster…..that just means it needs to be fixed.
I say D-Line….but ultimately Al Davis will pick who he wants and that will most likely be Taylor Mays or Hayden or Arelius….
Al Davis, like many of you, believe that speed and athleticsm in BACK 7 leads to championship defense
January 31st, 2010 at 9:12 am
Julius Peppers could be available this off-season. Not saying we should throw the bank at him, but if you looked at the money we’d save from dumping JaMarcus ($6.5 mil difference between guaranteed money and 2010 salary) and parting with Fargas (who makes around $6 mil I believe) we wouldn’t be all that far off.

I think Al may like my 1st 4 picks:
1- OT 6′7 310, and runs a syb 4.9
2- LB 6′1 240, long arms, strong back, big hands, and runs a 4.5.
3- DT 6′4 330, runs a 5.0 40
3- DE 6′6 270, 33″ arms, big hands, and runs a 4.6 40

*******************************
I would welcome the idea of picking up a veteran proven run-stuffer.
With the draft, I like the value approach. More than likely, at #8 if we draft a LT or DT, it will be the 3rd rated DT, and at least #2 OT if not 3 or 4.
If McClain is on the board, the #1 rated LB is available. That’s all I’m saying.
And obviously, if they pick up a vet MLB, than that whole point is moot. Morrison just isn’t it, he may not get dealt the best hand, but he makes plenty of his own mistakes and always disappears when we need him most.
I know you agree with that.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:20 am
Chris in NY,
You’re right, and it’s frustrating. You can see the potential is there to be a good defense. The Raiders had 11 tackles for a loss vs. Bengals. Had a ton vs. Browns also. The Raiders will be stout over and over, no gain, no gain, two yard loss, and then boom.. get hit for a forty yard run. I think it’s mainly the linebackers (Morrison) not holding to their gap responsibility, and getting gashed for big runs. LT does it to the Raiders all the time. They will hold him to about two yards per carry the whole game, and then boom he’ll break off a 60 yard TD run. After the game boomer and TJ will be talking on BSPN about LT owning the Raiders again, when 90% of the game he couldn’t do squat.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:24 am
I agree with your point of #1 player at a position vs #3 person at another position. But this is not like #3WR DHB vs #1WR Crabtree. In this case Iupati could be just as good as Okung. And Williams could be as good as Suh and McCoy. Or at least not that far from them.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:26 am

January 31st, 2010 at 9:32 am
Iupati=Okung or B Williams I can give you that. Although I do worry about the transition from the Idaho Vandals to the NFL. And do you draft a guard at #8, when you can get a pretty good G in the 3rd, and the dropoff from a McClain to a 3rd LB is much more dramatic?
We shall see…..
January 31st, 2010 at 9:36 am
I agree with Lefty regarding the importance of the C and G position. And with Satele not being quite as stout as we hoped, yeah I’d take arguably the best Olinemen in the draft and put him right next to Satele. Gallery, Satele, and Iupati would mean a lot more convered 3rd and 2’s, and goal line scores up the middle.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:40 am
Vegas,
I think the LB play settled down a lot after Scott was moved to the strong side. Moving Howard away from the TE and allowing him to play uncovered was huge. I think I give Kirk somewhat of a pass playing with a dislocated elbow. Just really interested to see this defense under Marshall in year 2. I also think that Ricky Brown, Dixon, and Norris are going to get every opportunity to shine.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:41 am
I guess what I’m saying is I just don’t see Al passing on Maulauga and Cushing last year, and drafting a LB this year. I’ve already had that bubble deflated.

I only saw a couple of highlites of the Sr. Bowl on the local news. One of which featured a kid who played safety on that semi-pro team based in L.A., making an interception. Taylor something or another is the kids name. I hear he’s like 6-4, 235-240, and runs like the wind.
I venture to guess that Al will watch that play on a continouus loop, with a fresh bundle of drool towels at the ready….

Nice Senior Bowl yesterday. I could echo the same sentiment as you guys, ie Brandon Graham just raised his value, but the guys I wanted to see were guys like Ducasse and Iupati. As Vegas Raider said, you wanted to see how these guys did against a major jump in competition. Both did extremely well in my mind. Ducasse I really like. Dan Williams showed yesterday why I thought he was head and shoulders above Terrance Cody.

Would love for the Raiders to actually draft good all around FOOTBALL PLAYERS in this draft like….
Brandon Graham (as a RDE, reminds me of Elvis Dumervil, but stronger) Sean Weatherspoon (nasty yet fun attitude and physical) and Dan Williams (solid around DT against the run)
Graham and Weatherspoon are the type of FOOTBALL PLAYERS this Raider team needs…..BADLY…..but sadly the old dumb man Al and his supposed scouts are on a different planet when it comes to drafting.

There is now way the old man reaches that much and takes Weatherspoon with the #8 pick….is there??
Ugh….who knows…it’s the delusional old man Al and his “scouting department” ? haha
I would rather have the old man reach for Brandon Graham at #8 to play the disrupting RDE position who is stout versus the run. He his 263 lbs and I’m sure he can gain 10 pounds of muscle no problem.

Armond witout a doubt there will be a dominant player at 8 this draft goes about 13 deep in top teir talent if the right guy is there we have to take him. The only way I trade down is if someone overpays for the pick. That someone might be the 49ers.
^^^^^^^^^^
Actually I would TRADE DOWN 5-7 slots in a heartbeat in this years draft…..SNAG Graham and then try and trade back up and SNAG either Williams or Weatherspoon!
Then again this is the old senile delusional old man Al we are talking about. He will draft speed guys instead of physical nasty football players.

Iupati struggled at RG but did better at LG. Iupati needs to use his legs more, get balanced and keep his hands inside.
He can possibly project into a RT prospect as well. The coaches should have had him play a series at RT…but oh well.
Iupati would add alot to the Raider O-Line, but it would be tough to pick him at #8….but I wouldn’t be pissed if it happened.
January 31st, 2010 at 11:39 am
DKnight007 I completely agree. A couple of guys that no one seems to mention are John Jerry and Mike Johnson the interior linemen of the South squad. Both those guys played EXTREMELY well yesterday. On the defensive side I liked Atkins and I really like Alualu from yes, CAL!
January 31st, 2010 at 11:50 am
Dknight,
I never said I had Cody over Williams. I just want a lineman at #8.
Al Davis is going to reach no matter what. I would rather see a reach with a lineman than another athletic combine superstar who ends up busting out like the last 4 or 5 picks have done here.
The lines are swiss cheese tough. We get overwhelmed on both sides. Then we explain it away like Cable by saying…oh we are so close…or if you look at the big plays…on and on and on….
WHen you rank 30th or worse in run defense each year…that whole defense needs work. And with any rebuilding project, you start in the trenches and work out.
Get a D-Linemand or O-Lineman with the #8 pick…then pick whoever the hell you want there after
January 31st, 2010 at 11:52 am

January 31st, 2010 at 11:55 am

I’m all for a trade for S. Rogers as well, i think we could get him for a reasonable price too. Didn’t he bust his leg this past season. I would love to try and get C. Hampton as well, but that will be costly. What are ya’lls thoughts on Tank Johnson, an upgrade over Warren?
January 31st, 2010 at 12:15 pm
By that I mean any of the LBs available this year at No. 8, not a LB in general. If there was an LT or Patrick Willis or somebody like that available, then sure, LB at No. 8 would be great. I just don’t think any of the top LBs this year are of that caliber.

The thing with Brandon Graham is he is a smart, solid RDE who can run defend. Problem is, we already have a RDE. His name is Richard Seymour.

Seymour,
All I want is a big guy that can get in the way. Didn’t Rogers make a Pro Bowl a year ago.
We SHOULD NOT go into next year with Gerard “pass rusher” Warren manning the DT spot….bad enough that Kelly will be back.
For a team that has vanilla sets, doesn’t blitz and has speedy, but lightweight, linebackers…you BETTER have someone on that line in the middle that can create some havoc…or even just get in the way and take up two blockers.
The run defense has been utter garbage for years…and drafting more cornerbacks and safeties and fleet footed backers are not going to get this done.
We MISSED THE MARK badly last year passing up on guys like Raji, Hood, Jerry etc…..for a fleet footed Wide Receiver that can’t catch but looks great off the bus.
Fix the lines…..the Raiders have NEGLECTED the DT positions and the O-Lines….as a result…30+ run defense and QBs laying on their backsides
January 31st, 2010 at 12:25 pm
DKnight,
Its amazing how Davis throws tons of money to bust players in the draft and bigger busts in free agency but won’t spend a dime on the coaches.
Probably because Davis figures he’s done most of the work developing the scheme…and the coaches just have to execute it the best they can.
Sad though…$4Million could get the Raiders A REAL head coach.
I wonder how much Hue Jackson is getting btw
January 31st, 2010 at 12:29 pm
I posted this a couple of days ago and Cable is right about this: the issue with our defense is it gives up too many big plays. Too many in both the run AND passing games. We led the league in surrendering runs of FORTY YARDS OR MORE!! Forty yard runs!!! We gave up the most! You know how many Indy gave up? None. So what does that mean?
Well, what it means is this, you look at these plays, and the DT’s most likely did their jobs. The LB’s either overpursued, couldn’t shed, or misread the play, then the most important part, the run support in the 2ndary, was non existent. Hence the “overreach” for Mike Mitchell, a run defending sure tackling safety.

The thing with Brandon Graham is he is a smart, solid RDE who can run defend. Problem is, we already have a RDE. His name is Richard Seymour.
^^^^^^^^^
Seymour should be moved inside IMO.
The Raider defense needs to more of an overall pass rushing disruptor RDE who is solid versus the run.
Seymour is more of a run defending disruptor who can’t get to the QB consistently.
By moving Seymour inside it would create so much opportunity for an edge rusher with Grahams skill set to cause some serious disruption to opposing O-Lines.
Graham can also handle the edge and is stout versus the run.

4 million a year when old man Al can stop being cheap and use that 4 million a year to bring in a SOLID HEAD COACH who will turn this franchise and team around like JIM HARBAUGH!
Crazy huh?

This is the thing also fellas.
The Raiders have the ammunition to move up in this draft to get back into the late 1st round and snag another hard nosed nasty player like Grahan, Odrick, Williams or Weatherspoon.
They have the 2nd round pick, as well as the two 3rd’s, the 4th and two 5th’s to use as PLENTY of TRADE bait.
The freakin problem is (as always) the old looney man Al and his lousy GM skills and DOESN’T know how to work the draft anymore! Ugh….it’s depressing.

DKnight,
Its amazing how Davis throws tons of money to bust players in the draft and bigger busts in free agency but won’t spend a dime on the coaches.
Probably because Davis figures he’s done most of the work developing the scheme…and the coaches just have to execute it the best they can.
Sad though…$4Million could get the Raiders A REAL head coach.
^^^^^^^^^^
It’s freakin RIDICULOUS!
And they wonder why most of us don’t waste our time and money on buying Season Tickets for a franchise that is COMPLETELY MISMANAGED or for that matter even bother to go to the games (hence the crap load of blackouts)
January 31st, 2010 at 12:53 pm
One of the big things in this draft that no one is talking about is the retirement of Kurt Warner. One excellent NFL Q is now gone. Zona publicly believes Leinert is the answer but privately they have to be quite uneasy. Probably half the teams in the league could use some type of QB help. That makes the #8 pick that much more valuable.
January 31st, 2010 at 1:24 pm
O Mock Draft 5.0:
1- LB Weatherspoon
2- OT Kyle Calloway
3- DT Cam Thomas
3- DE Austen Lane
4- ILB Micah Johnson
5- CB Walter Thurmond
5- KR/ PR Leroy Vann
January 31st, 2010 at 1:30 pm
Correction*
2- OT T Williams or Kyle Calloway.
January 31st, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Brandon Graham is a heck of a football player. One of my best friends is a Mich season ticket holder, and the next door neighbor is a huge Michigan fan, who’s dad played for Bo in the 70’s. They both like to remind me that Graham led the nation in tackles for losses the last two years. While it’s true you can never have too many great pass rushers , Graham may be a luxury the Raiders can’t afford right now. They are pretty set at De, for at least the next couple of years with the veterans Seymour and Ellis. Matt S. of Wisc. looks like a pretty promising young prospect. Richardson isn’t a bad rotational player, and Trevor Scott can slide back to DE in passing situations. They have too many glaring needs on the OL, at MLB and even DT, to afford a pick like Graham at DE. They could do worse, though.
January 31st, 2010 at 1:38 pm
We need to move Seymour inside. He is not a 4-3 RDE. I want more than 4 sacks from the RDE.
January 31st, 2010 at 1:40 pm
Seymour
AZ will sign Vick or Culpepper to compete with Lienart, their offensive players said that they don’t trust Lienart, their team is ready all they need is QB, either Vick or even trade for Mcnab
January 31st, 2010 at 1:45 pm

January 31st, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Who ahouod we draft to olay MLB, McClain, Weatherspoon, Or Spikes?
I like Spoon because we ask a lot from our MLB. We need him to cover, run sideline to sideline, and be able to stop the run.
McClain, Spikes, and Micah Johnson are all pure MLB. Mcclain has good speed, but he doesn’t look smooth when he covers ( which is normal for a MLB).
Spoon has good size for a MLB (6′1 245+), and runs a 4.5 which he shows when he covers. He ran with McCluster yesterday, and covered him well.
January 31st, 2010 at 2:01 pm
*Who should we draft..?
January 31st, 2010 at 2:11 pm
After my great draft: lol
SS: Branch/ Mitchell
FS: Huff/ Branch
CB: Nnamdi
CB: CJ/ Walter Thurmond
SLB: Micah Johnson ( plays like Rey for the Bengals)/ Scott
ILB: Spoon
WLB: TH/ Scott
RDE: Austen Lane
DT: Seymour/ TK
DT: Cam Thomas/ TK
LDE: Ellis/ Matt S
Top 10 D!! lol
Pete, I know you like this draft. ( 2LBs, and Beefy DT)
January 31st, 2010 at 2:20 pm
I think we should add help to the Offense by adding FAs, and drafting a RT. Our Offense is young and doesn’t need more raw talent IMO. It needs vets who can lead and show the young Players how to get better.
We need a vet C, WR, FB, and OT.
January 31st, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Raider O,
One free agent OL the Raiders might want to take a look at is Marshall Yanda of the Ravens. Hue Jackson should be familiar with him from Balt. He was a fairly high rated prospect coming out of Iowa a couple of years ago. I believe he was a second rd pick. He can play either right guard or tackle. He might be an upgrade over Carlisle or Mop Handle. I believe he’s a restricted free agent, but he might be worth a look. I don’t think he starts, but seems to play a lot in Baltimore’s three headed power running attack.
January 31st, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Balt has a good Olive so he it’s hard to earn a starting job there, but he should be a great upgrade over Cooper. I also like their LT, and I think he is a FA too.
January 31st, 2010 at 2:59 pm
Oline*
January 31st, 2010 at 3:07 pm
Buckeye,
Our offense is young, we need Oline help, and there are a few FAs that we can sign to fix the Oline. We can draft a RT and save money, but we still need to add a G, and another OT to compete with the rookie and Mario for the OT position.
Add a C, G, FB, WR, and an OT in FA.
We need to get the best G , C, and FB available, and we should draft a RT.
January 31st, 2010 at 3:20 pm
like i said before
1.LB
2.CODY DT
yeah i agree on the sheppard comment
but with cody and another LB 1st 2 round will solve the run stopping issues their for the secondar will get to shine! reason why morrison is getting block of out of position is due to the fact there isnt a DT that takes the blocks period! soo we sure just line up with 2 ends and 2 cb like i said the must is cody in the 2nd round period reason why i say LB first is b/c you cant give up a future hall of famer the 3 LB coming out can be hall of famer
pass downs
DE ellis
DT seymour
DT cody
DE shaughnessy
run downs
DE ellis
DT seymour
DT cody
DE richardson
with that line we will do great!
But we need to Biltz alot MORE!!!
now with a year under russells belt with his CURRENT wr’s schillens DHB and big daddy murphy you will see a raider record 9-7 and possible 10-6 if cody and new lineback is drafted 1 and 2
January 31st, 2010 at 3:24 pm
oh and of course the rest of the draft one CB-S for dime and nichel and all o-line to have some competition at camp
i wish i had the chance to work with j.russell all he needs is someone to helphim along!
January 31st, 2010 at 3:33 pm
great post #479 it’s about time someb ody figured out what the defense front for us actually is. Seymour is a BASE END not a pass down RDE he kicks inside on passing downs. You would take the effectiveness of the front 4 away by making him an every down 3tech. What we’re doing with the defense right now up front scheme wise is very sound it’s the players we have not the scheme. Leave Seymour exactly where he is and get an additional edge rusher. And addd to the run defense by adding a better MLB not by kicking Seymour inside.
Get better players the scheme is fine.
January 31st, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Also I like our DT’s unless you can get a great player I don’t se us changing much there with Dez Bryant already backing up Seymour and TK and Joseph backing up Warren. Maybe Suh and McCoy would get us better at the 3tech but then what do you do with Seymour? some of you don’t make sense in your assesments. A lot of what your talking about doesn’t make sense you want rookies to come in and replace productive vets it doesn’t make sense. You’re not going to draft a rookie that high and not start him.
Now for depth and can see us getting another DT but then what do you do with Dez? cut him? As far as a edge ruaher I can see it hen we can leave Scott at OLB. That makes us better. Adding a MLB like McClain or whomever makes us better. A late corner makes us better. depth at WR/KR makes us better, OT makes us better even a top teir C. I think we could use another great runner HB more than a DT.

BHP……..has nada to dispute what I’m saying. Typical name calling cuz he again has nada
January 31st, 2010 at 4:01 pm
to 481 the reason you bring seymour inside is b/c one you do put another play maker on the field for 2 if cody is drafted he will everydown take 2 blockers giving seymour a closer shot at the Qb and one on one with a guard 3 ellis stays in due to the fact he makes plays on both run and pass but bringing in richardson you put a 280lbs run stopper at end plus can rush if its a pass
keeping seymour with cody inside will make morrison extremely nasty with a pure shot at anyone coming
cody with 2 blockers seymour can make plays inthe backfield or bounce the ball outside to our super fast linebacking core now fast doesnt make the tackles but when you dont have many blockers down field its easier for gang tackling seymour is a DT look what happend when we played NE in the playoffs and seymour stopped out sure short distance runner crockett now that being said if you stop the run the pass will be alot harder and with one lock you the !@#$ down corner you have only oneside to throw too
thank you for the comment
January 31st, 2010 at 4:01 pm

Raiderglory34, Cody is a NT for a 3/4 we run a 4/3 he just wouldn’t fit Marshalls scheme. And Seymour where is makes gives a better chance on run downs. I know what you’re thinking but Cody is a one trick pony. The guy’s we have are much more versatile if you want to zone blitz or run tricks up front. Yu have understand the scheme you’re running.

504 your right DT is the problem period but blaming morrison isnt i dont care if you have urlacher as our MLB he will get ran on! now lets get on urlacher now what happend to him this season??? he got hurt b/c for one he lost his DT that protected him your DT is to take all the blockers up and make play in the backfield sometimes but thier there to eat blockers thats what cody will do demanding a double team all game making seymour a real threat up the middle one on one and the ends one on one. giving our linebackers free blitzes vison to attack and morrison will really show you something you really havent seen
January 31st, 2010 at 4:11 pm

Raiderglory………….Kirk Morrison isnt physical enough to be a MLB. He cant shed blocks and missing many tackles. Notice when people cut back against Raider defense he is outta place. Guy isnt a good MLB at all
January 31st, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Ha we have seen Morrison blitz and he isnt that good at it. He is a RFA…….draft day trade. Get him outta here. If ricky Brown didnt suck so much he would have been the MLB. That is why they tried that experiement last summer! Cuz Kirk isnt a MLB
January 31st, 2010 at 4:15 pm

Yeah everybody said the same thing about BJ Raji last year. He’ll eat doubles, well he did on the bench. Cody is better player IMO but our DT’s get doubled all the time if you want to get to the QB get an edge rusher if you want to stop the run TACKLE better it’s that simple.

Old fart…………..everybody? Go check the archives I never wanted Raji you fool. I agree with Al Davis on not selecting short ass DTs. He never will pick one that high.
First off you idiot you fail to realize the Raiders dont have a run stuffing DT because Gerard Warren’s technique is that of a UT. He cant shed two blockers or eat up space. He jsut tries to shoot the gaps and that leaves the rest of the D out to dry. Raiders need a fat ass guy like Cody in the middle who wont get punked and moved out of the way

we are taking about the run D if you cant stop the run you will get passed on all game long period! now raji is a good player but hes not almost 400 lbs and beast as cody. im telling you now boston has there big ticket but imtelling you this cody will be oaklands big ticket!!! i dont care who you have on the ends it means nothing if a DT doesnt take the blockers up the middle collaping the pocket for the DE’s to get in there soo like i said cody is the key hes almost worth taking with our first round but im thinking he will be there in the 2nd for us but i also have to say if the offense doesnt get 1st downs it doesnt matter how get our defense is

January 31st, 2010 at 4:39 pm
well i dont mind a MLB but i think morrison will look alot better once cody is inserted the thing is we need one more outside but mcclain can play both mlb and OLB strong side leaving howard as our pass covering OLB but you get a nice blitzing package with mcclain too being able to have 2 MLB i dont see morrison going anywhere he calls the plays and you dont need a rookie doing that! i DONT want to see a #1 OL picked i will be sick! all raider gear OL are picked 2nd round on. we need a veteran o-lineman from free agent market if there is one and draft young OL to be groomed not 29 year old non proved
id like to see kelly let go and walker
maybe trade fargas since we have russell mcfadden and bush

If Russell can throw the ball far, how come he one hops it to everyone???
January 31st, 2010 at 4:42 pm
I’m going to say this fr the last time. But it will still go over everyones head. Stopping the run is an attitude Cody can help. But it comes down to the back 7 ability to tackle. You can have King kong at DT but if the guy’s behind him can’t fill and tackle it doesn’t matter. It’s easy to run away from the interior defense DT’s can’t stop that they can only stop what’s coming at them. Great DT’s always help the runD but that is NOT how you stop the run you have to fill gaps and TACKLE. Now that I’ve said it for the 6thousandth time. You still wont comprehend it. The Indy Colt’s don’t have a great big FAT DT but they play the run very well because they run to the football and TACKLE……………..period
Some ignorant wrteches will never figure that out. Also having a good offense put up some points helps tremendously.
January 31st, 2010 at 4:50 pm

Cody at 340 or under I like, at 370 forget it I wouldn’t touch his fat ass in the 1st maybe not in the 2nd. There are too many good DT’s that can help to draft a guy who’ll be outta the league or on someone bench in 4 years.

Except in Baltimore they didn’t have loyal fans. They weren’t selling out every game, even during losing seasons.
They left because they didn’t have fan support.
As I recall someone else was selling out every game, win or lose. Loyal fan support. Yet the owner still said F YOU, FANS..I’M OUTTA HERE.

Watching as you do, ignorant and in total denial, playing the lemming bit to the hilt, means the obvious is never an option.

It was directed at half the fans in the stands screaming obscenities at players who aren’t even in the game. Your conscience is bothering you.
January 31st, 2010 at 5:07 pm
I watch the game becauseI love the game and the team. I love the science of the game and beauty of it. If I’m drunk and high beyond all conscienceness I don’t enjoy it.

Write it down now!! Chaz will be a better player this year than Crabtree. For Crabtree to miss this much camp and it doesn’t look like he will sign anytime soon.
Right now Chaz is a much better player than Crabtree at this level. You cannot come in camp this late and succeed I’m sorry. It’s just tooo difficult. If Crabtree can get in before the last preseason game and get some work in maybe by midseason he’ll start to find his way. But this is really let for him to contribute this year.
I can almost gaurantee you that if and when he signs he’ll be pressing to show he was worth the wait and the money. And cause an injury or imped his own development. Hold outs this long are never good for rookies. If he’s not signed by the 3rd preaseason game this entire year will be a washout.
The kid never got into OTA’s, minicamp’s or anything. He hasn’t practiced at all and to miss training camp. They can forget it this year……….period
================================
LMAO…”I GUARANTEE” “THIS YEAR IS A WASHOUT” “CAN FORGET IT THIS YEAR” “Chaz will be better this year than Crabtree..I GUARANTEE”. “Will take Crabtree until midseason to contribute, IF HE SIGNS BEFORE CAMP IS OVER”.
You kind of torched that one, didn’t ya, TJ?

well, the offensive line couldn’t block worth a plug nickle….going o-line in the 1st round would be a smart move too.
Although expecting a Raider offense to score points is a little bit of a stretch given the horrible line we are dealing with.
FIX THE LINES! Offense or defense. This outside in B.S has not worked!

Too easy to slap this one down………….first off you mentioning the Colts is quite laughable. There were many reasons Irsay left Bmore you fool. Attendance was an issue but it went deeper than that
Yes the city council did stupidly listen to Rozelle. You must not be familiar with the idiots that have dwell in Oakland’s city council for you to make imply they didnt. Hey go ask John Vella about it if you dont believe it. Im sure he knows way more about the situation than both of us combined. his store is right next to Ricky’s in San Leandro……..give him a holler.
Al wanted a better stadium just like Jim Irsay. Al produced an elite franchise that had locker rooms designated for 25 baseball players. Oakland listened to one of Al’s nemesis Pete Rozelle because he told them Al cant move without his say so. Oakland actually believed that bull.
Now Al got duped and believed LA could give him what he wanted. It had nada to do with celebs now you are just plain lying Bichy.
Al wanted to comeback in the late 80s to Oakland because he saw how LA wasnt good for the team at all.
Al screwed Irwindale because he knew he could get away with it. He never considered that place you fool.

Thanks for proving my point, Bree the Flea.
Yeah, Al left for more money. He had sellouts. he had loyal fan base. He had a waiting list for season tickets.
But he wanted more..and stated publicly he didn’t give a ratsass about the fans.
Thanks for repeating what I stated.
Good boy.
Yeah, Al found out HE SCREWED UP when he took off for LaLaLand. And yeah, where else was he going to go? NO WHERE.
Nothing else was ready. No one else wanted to deal with his back stabbing two faced ass.
And thanks for repeating what I said about Irwindale..he did screw them. His greedy snake in the grass ways did take their money..but..also screwed himself FOREVER.
No city..anywhere..will ever deal with the Snake.
No city council in the country will ever trust the Slime.

Ray Charles can see Russell has unlimited talent. It’s just his application and maturity that they question. If you can’t see the obvious talent it wont do you any good for me to tell you.
Russell highly touted, Grads wasn’t even touted he was a small school hope he can. He’s a backup QB in anyones book. Except the geniuses in here.

He sells NFL merchandise..has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RAIDERS AT ALL. Nothing. Zero. Everything he orders, which includes walls of Niner things as well, is ordered from NFL properties, NOT the Raiders.
And yeah, he moved, hoping to revive his dying business.
And hoped the overflow from Ricky’s (which isn’t all that, quite honestly..pretty slow these days)would help. Can’t get any worse than it was, because, like the team, he was dead all year.

When Russell holds onto the ball too long, with zero pocket awareness, you blame the O line.
You don’t have any credibility.

And that you plead blindness to those that slap you down, at will? Just makes you look weak.

The DT argument is ridiculous!
OUr run defense gave up 25 plays of 20 yards or more. 6, SIX runs of over 40 yds.
How are the DTs responsible for 20, 30, and 40 yd runs.
Top 5 run defenses? Not one of them gave up more than 10 of those plays.
If you don’t realize that has everything to do with tackling and gap control from your LBs, then you’re not being realistic.

You were implying Vella is just selling 49er merchandise left and right as if he doesnt have a Raider store intended for Raider fans. You make it seem like its just an NFL shop and thats not true. I been to all of his shops and go quite frequently to the one right by bayfair mall now cuz i dont live too far from it
January 31st, 2010 at 6:32 pm
Bichy you are talking about the autographed joe jersey……….you know the same joe montana that said the Raiders were his favorite team growing up….the guy who who also came up to Al before a preseason game vs the Raiders and said he wanted out of SF becuz he felt steve young was brought in too replace him
January 31st, 2010 at 6:33 pm
Raji worked out well and the Packers are glad to have him. Injuries slowed him down early in the season…but he was solid and helped support the #1 ranked run defense.
He has a ton more upside for his team than Darius Heyward-Bust will ever have for the Raiders.
And Gerard Warren, going into his 11th year, will continue to be the pass rusher he is
January 31st, 2010 at 6:34 pm
Vella has a memorabilila wall with alot of area greats with signatures and such. Joe montana’s jersey had nada to do with selling 49er gear for 49er fans as you are trying to make it. Where isthe dwight clark jersey’s? The rice red ones? Roger Craig? Come on you are so lying here

I’d hardly say that Raji contributed to that #1 defense. That is a stretch! We was a backup player the entire year. And unless Jolley is traded, he’ll be a backup again.

Highlight reel fan take is kinda played out. Right up there with do you watch the games, lol.
It’s not rocket science man.
Improve the Oline to get the running game going and give our QB some time to pass.
That equals more first downs.
Which equals more time our offense has the ball instead of theirs.
Which means their RBs get less carries.
Which means they get less yards.
Which means our run defense gets better.

5 yd gain instead of 20 yds gains equals better run defense.

I am all good with drafting an O-Lineman to get the offense going.
I say highlight reel because people envision a bruising MLB making the highlight reel hits all over the field. But then they neglect to see the NT up the middle holding two blockers at bay…allowing the MLB to run free.
Show me a MLB that functions without out a credible lane clogger on the line.
I am tired of seeing the backers, receivers, safeties come in here with all the fan fare and then turn into role players at best (see Huff)
Time to build the lines. We will never win until the lines are at least average. That means DTs and O-Line.
Anything else is a waste of time
January 31st, 2010 at 6:50 pm
Jhill, as articulate as you’re putting it they’ll still whiff on the info man. They don’t get the dynamics of the game. They get all their info from the blogger who has no freakin’ clue.
But anything he feeds them they eat it up.

I don’t know why some of you are sweating Obama over Hilary’s health care thing.
Obama is just doing what he’s told and enjoying the ride.

LMFAO! I bet that went over well with the take back the country crowd.

ok the what you fail to realise is that if you have someone to cover up the Mlb they can make plays period your not understanding that!!!!!! cody will help morrison out more then you know morrison getting blocked is why teams are running on them i watched every game when terams gashed us it was b/c guards and centers fb are pushing DT out of the way now no one will push cody out of the way if i had my wish id be the defensive coodinator plus if i worked with russell he would be a different QB
January 31st, 2010 at 6:51 pm
No you cant! The Country had enough of him in just 1 year!

Priesttj,
Green Bay had the number 1 ranked run defense this year. They were able to rotate Raji in with Pickett, Jolly and Jenkins…all of which weigh in at 305+
Your boy DHB can’t even average 1 catch a game on the worst offense in the NFL
We would have been 1,000x better off with Raji than with DHB. I’ll tell ya that.
January 31st, 2010 at 6:54 pm
I think 0bama is banging Peelosi on the d-low.
January 31st, 2010 at 6:54 pm
may you think the same way the defensive coodinator thinks thats why we are getting run on!!!! if the raiders do like i say and draft him then they will win more! and to the guy that talks about howard and morrison its hard to make a tackle when you are being blocked and the runningback is in your face
January 31st, 2010 at 6:54 pm
Are you running out of football responses B? So what my weed is better than yours! Is that your answer to where the tackling is by the LBs and guys like Eugene?
If it’s as you say and Warren and Kelly are getting knocked backwards, or not holding the point of attack, are they getting blown 10 yds off the line?
Please explain to me how guys run UNTOUCHED for 20 yds?
LMFAO!

January 31st, 2010 at 6:59 pm
Glory34,I don’t fail realize anything man, I knw what the role of a DT is as well as a NT in a 3/4 scheme. That’s football 101 kid but that doesn’t STOP the run the entire defense is what stops the run playing disciplined sound football around the DT’s and tackling. DT’s DO NOT stop the run they KEY the run defense. The word nose tackle comes from playing the nose of the defense but it does no good if the players behind him don’t play sound football and tackle. And we don’t do that. get it.
Without a great DT it is much harder to stop the run but THEY themselves do not stop the run the entire defense does…………..period

Why would Vick wanna come in here to compete with the franchise QB, if he wanted to compete he would remain as an Eagle. He is going to go to a place he can start. Do you guys realize he is the best QB in the market, there will be teams trying to get him and plug him as a starter. For one, I think Arizona would be a perfect fit, he would have all the offensive weapon needed. Arizona need a legit QB and they all know including the Wrs that Leinart is not the answer.
Only way I see Vick coming here is if JR gets cut, remember Dungy advised Vick from signing with the Raiders, he would go to the Bills or Panthers before coming here.

YOU STATED Vella was tight with the Raiders because he sells their merchandise..adding “right next to the biggest raider bar’ as if that means anything..IT DOESN’T.
Ricky’s got screwed by the Raiders…so did Vella.
When did you ask if he sold Montana jersey’s????

Hey Bichy…….does John Vella sell 49er jerseys?
Montana jersey WAS A NINER JERSEY. so was the Gore jersey, moron.
And save the stadium dispute..you don’t have a clue about that either..Still LMAO at you saying “Well, go ask Vella about the stadium”, moron.
Asked what the beef between them was?
guess you don’t follow much..Vella’s used to be called The Raiders Lockerroom.
Raiders, after YEARS OF HIM USING IT, made him change it.
Now Vella views Al Davis as a piece of crap.

yeah ther is a nose hes normally strong side but people dont understand what cody will bring to the raiders cody and seymour side by side will be sick morrison will roamer freesince his DT isnt get pushed back into his grill putting him out of posistion for one you dont have to be blocking someone all they have to do is be inthe way its hard to make a play if someone is in the way i know first hand i have played DT MLB and SS size doesnt matter heart and drive does but if raiders do as i say they can make the playoffs and i do know about drafting people for your scheme but that scheme should be scrapped cuz its not working period having your linebackers sitt 2 yards infront of your safteys lol are you kidding me

January 31st, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Guys
Do you guys think AL Davis opens his checkbook and signs Peppers? Imagine we get Peppers in this D along with McClain, Cody in the second round and Michah Johnson in the third or fourth round. Peppers is a huge difference maker and will allow Seymour to move inside permanently. I am hoping we sign either Peppers or Kampman.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Ted Washington, Parella, and Sam Adams …
played the 4-3 but we didn’t spend a high draft pick on any of those fat dudes. Agree with Vegas that I’d gladly take a flyer on a fat guy under the same scenario that we picked up Washington and Adams.
Hell, where is fat ass Grady? Our pick up Williams from SD after they cut him this offseason.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Priest says last April- ” We should have a top 10 defense next year. And Im basing that on the offensive firepower we will be able to unleash on oponents”

You are scrambling and doing your best to make it seem like Vella isnt down with the Raiders anymore. And when I mentioned Vella in the first place I was speaking on his knowledge of the stadium dispute. He would know better than us right? Funny how you refused to even address that LOL.
Hey who owns the Raiders the NFL or Al Davis? I’ll wait………….lol

Bichy everyone in the bay area knows about the dispute with vella and al…..please say something new you idiot.
So what he views al Davis as a piece of crap? Alot of people do and your point?
Well do you know more about the stadium issue the Raiders were having back then than Vella? I think not
January 31st, 2010 at 7:31 pm
It works Indy and Baltimore, It worked for the Giants, The niners even played great run D with a 305lbs. NT The Cards don’t have a Fat slob playing LDT The Cowboy’s play great run D without a fat slob playing LDT. So what make you think we desparately need this fat slob? the difference is thse teams have great offenses to support their defense.
But I know that makes no sense to you guy’s. Ngata is huge but he is fit for his size which is about what Warren wieghs.
January 31st, 2010 at 7:31 pm

what yal are failing to realize is cody doesnt have to make plays he has to eat blockers soo morrison and howard make plays and seymour will make more plays in the backfield and there is a thing called camp that the guys go to and work out and get into shaped thats what its about but it doesnt matter how he did in the senior bowl its about what he does behind the scene like gilbert brown he didnt make alot of plays he eat blockers for lunch
January 31st, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Ahhh…so you concede he DOES sell gear other than Raiders?
Now..you’re on to ‘how much is designated”?? lol…WHO CARES, FOOL.

Raidersglory34, let me put it to you in plain english, we run a 1gap system a penetrating 1gap system. Cody is a 2gap player every scout or GM on the planet will tell you that. That doesn’t fit what Marshall runs as a base system and if it doesn’t fit the base formation what would be the reason to bring in a 2gap player. It doesn’t make sense……………..period

Glory,
I have no problem with a guy like Cody in Rd 2 or 3. I’d actually prefer to trade for a veteran like Jolley or Wilfork though.
I like Iupati at 8. Gallery and Iupati make me feel a whole lot better about Satele in the middle. I have to think that Satele will be better in year 2 with the Raiders and an offseason that doesn’t include rehabbing a broken shoulder. Gallery-Satele-Iupati shold equal a lot more short yardage and goal line conversions.
Also need to figure out what we are going to do at FB. Is Reece going to be that guy? Or will we pretty much go single back? Can’t possibly envision another season with Lawton back there.

From “do they EVEN SELL NINER JERSEY’S” to “what percentage of the store sells Niner jersey’s”??
You got schooled, fool..and yeah..like I said..as USUAL, you’re TOAST..Now..shut up, Priest..I mean..Bree.

You havent said anything yet. You are too dumb to school anyone. Castro Valley people have always known Vella was there.

The Raiders are not going to share the Coliseum with the Whiners. Which means
a) Combined stadium on Treasure Island-not going to happen
b) Santa Clara Whiner Stadium-not going to happen
c) Stay playing in the Stick, worst stadium in the leage-No
d) Move to LA-bingo

First off you idiot the 49ers are an older franchise than the Raiders so I’d expect more fans but to say the bay area is mostly 49er fans is a damn lie. This isthe bay area and many people arent from here. You are now just plain lying. Typical of a 49er
=======================
Everyone knows there are a ton more Niner fans than Raider fans in the bay area…simple fact.
Many people aren’t from EVERY CITY IN THE COUNTRY. What does that have to do with the ratio of fans?
Hell, Niners have sold out almost 300 STRAIGHT GAMES…Raiders, after game one, were BLACKED OUT EVERY GAME.
No comparison..
You’re not doing too well, are you, Flea?

Ton more? No i doubt that but there are more i wont deny that.
Wait many people in this area arent from many cities in america? LOL wow and this idiot is oblivious to the fact that the bay area is the most diverse place in the USA.

Who gives a damn about blackouts. Go look at the 49er stadium during the games it isnt even full. Them rich bandwagoners as ive told you have bought tickets way in advance. If SF is so great how come they are moving from there? Cuz candlestick is trash for many reasons and people dont wanna show up
=========================
Now you’re complaining that the Niners sell out, but that some people don’t go?
And “if they’re great, why are they moving from there”?? lol…geez..how old are you?
HOW ABOUT BECAUSE CANDLESTICK IS THE OLDEST STADIUM IN THE LEAGUE? And that there isn’t any room anywhere for a new stadium? That the current place sucks for access and parking?

A LB actually shedding a block to make a play. What a concept. To think that a MLB, a MIDDLE LINEBACKER won’t have a guy assigned to block him on EVERY play is ridiculous!
Warren is in his 11th year though, and it’s time to get a younger guy in there next to Kelly. Kelly, not Seymour! Only time Seymour needs to be at DT is when the fat guy next to Kelly needs a blow.
January 31st, 2010 at 8:30 pm

No way in the world should a top 10 player be a guard ever, dont you know that the best guards are always found in the second round. Mike Iupati struggled as RG in the Senior bowl, why would you get him knowing our LG position is covered, I think what we need is this.
1) OL best available or McClain
2) DT Cody
3) MLB Micah Johnson
3) OG Mitch Petrus
4) NT Jay Ross
5) WR/KR Jacoby Ford
5) C Eric Olsen or OL Derek Hardman (If we didnt take McClain)

Iupati is being talked about as a guy who could be the best Olineman in the draft. A guy that can play OG or OT. Did you see the blocks he made to get Blount in the end zone? A guy that dominant at LG run blocking will not be a slouch switching to the right side. Just a matter of getting his footwork together.
Not wedded to a particular player on the oline, but when the coaching chatter is that he was the standout guy there during the week then he merits a look. And again Gallery-Satele-Iupati up the middle should translate well on the field. I don’t care about 8. I wanted Mack before we traded for Satele.

Remember last year Al wanted more power to the ZBS?
January 31st, 2010 at 9:01 pm
I don’t think Morrison is soft. He dislocated his elbow and didn’t miss a game. I think he tends to take a few be in the wrong place a lot, or tries to run around a block instead of taking that block on.
At this point, it is what it is. I simply think the Oline is the biggest needs.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:05 pm
I can’t see them scrapping the whole ZBS thing with Cable pretty much going back to coaching the Oline. Certain plays will be adjusted like when Walker came in and played for Morris. But Satele, Gallery, and Henderson and not what I would think of as power guys.

Yeah we need oline help in the worse way but the zbs sucks inside the red zone……..at least for us it does. Might as well go back to power blocking and at least attempt to blow people off the ball. That zbs stuff is soft. now people can mention the jets all they want but jets already had a damn good line when they power blocked just the same but look at the type of offense the jets run
January 31st, 2010 at 9:11 pm
jhill why wouldnt they scrap it? Al runs this show right? He hates zone blocking and wants power plus our two rbs arent ZBS runners. Lets get them some big guards and a center to be able to knock guys backwards
January 31st, 2010 at 9:12 pm
What’s with all this talk about the zone blocking system? Where is the usual banter about who is a troll and who is a homosexual?
January 31st, 2010 at 9:14 pm
Jhill Al dont want it and many Raider folks dont want that crap either. It highlights pu$$y oline play
January 31st, 2010 at 9:15 pm
Yeah, you tell ‘em Godliness! Get that pu$$y stuff out of here!
January 31st, 2010 at 9:18 pm
We don’t want no pu$$ies on this blog! Hot damn!

January 31st, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Albert……..the Raiders are soft…thats why we get dragged in the mud against tough teams. We need tough players here and not this smiling nice guys who just wanna have fun. Give me Cody as the run stuffer and maybe spikes or mcclain in the middle. Seymour and ellis are tough guys but are surrounded by wimps

I dunno yet. he looks ok but we got huff as the FS and branch as the SS so i really dont know where he fits as a 2nd rounder in all of this
January 31st, 2010 at 9:22 pm
First and second rounders you would think would be starters eventually
January 31st, 2010 at 9:24 pm
Who really cares what the old man Al wants at this point.
He has sucked for the last 7 years and chances are the organization and team will suck until he is gone unless he hires a new Personnel Man to run the draft and a REAL Head Coach.

^^^^^^^^
I want tough players who are good overall players who are leaders who have great work ethic like Brandon Graham, McClain, Spikes, Weatherspoon, Suh, McCoy Williams, Iupati, Campbell etc…..
Cody?? Uhh…no….

If we won the old man could give a rats arse what system we ran.Who said Cable was going back to just do the Oline?Actually,he is going to be like most HCs-oversee the team,let his Asst. coaches and coordinators do their jobs-as it should be.

glory i agree about mitchell and his hatefullness. you saw how he shoved ortons face in the dirt at denver? when was the last time we saw that type of shyt? alot of people were mad at seymours personal fouls but i loved it. thats why i want spikes more than mcclain. he is a leader and he can do what morrison cant do. go to youtube and see how he throws big azz guards on the ground. they have one video with him slingin fatazz andre smith down with ease.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:38 pm
Armond i feel ya on spikes but he is rather on the ignorant niggro side but we do need a few guys like that. Mcclain aint bad either
January 31st, 2010 at 9:40 pm
Armond dont trip a waterfront stadium is happening at Jack London with I bet alot of shopping stores and shyt around it. you can already see it in motion around there just like ATT park
January 31st, 2010 at 9:40 pm
i said “IF WE WIN” the old man doesn’t care.Naturally when we lose he wants it his way.Smith runs SD.Jones runs the cowgirls.Their coaches are just as much puppets as Cable.you could say the same for many teams.Most HCs are puppets when you think about it.
January 31st, 2010 at 9:41 pm
i mispelled his name and dont give fook!! he never wanted to build that park/hotel at the coli. he went right down to fremont the following week with the same proposal. bud selig convinced him to get the team from those bastards schottman. selig never liked the a’s being in oakland which is why he tabled that vote when dolich/piccinini tried to buy them in 99. they made it clear they were staying and would emphasize building the fanbase back up before a stadium. they had no problem with the coli for the time being.

Yeah but its a cold game man. They want the most doe possible but Fremont aint givin it up to them and cant get SJ. Move to Sac? What for? Portland? LOL dont make me vomit.

Branch had difficulty trying to cover TEs when he was asked to.How is he gonna play nickel?Why is it whenever we get someone that seems to grow into a certain position,people want to start moving them to different positions?Or trade them (Nnamdi) for draft choices that they then complain about.

brian if what u say is true i MIGHT start goin to some games again. i stopped when schottman told everyone san jose was the new home for the a’s right before the season opener in 2001. and that was after they just won the division the year before. what a azzhole!!!!!!!

First day as Seymour, goes after Brownie, Kell, MR, me..and starts quoting things from the past..the dumbass.

It is also common knowledge that Al help arrange the sale of the 49ers, you are just in denial knowing you are wrong.
Richochet: “common knowledge”?? Fool..I just DETAILED what happened. That Al was paid a fee to help in the sale. The 49er owners were approached by Thomas and the Debartelos, MORON.
What’s funny is YOU are SO DESPERATE to state that the one main source of pain and anguish..the ONE AREA THAT CHAFES EVERY SINGLE RAIDER FAN, THE NINERS, AND ALL OF THEIR SUCCESS..is Al’s fault? LMFAO..I wish it were true.
Yeah,,you clueless toad..I WISH IT WERE TRUE. You don’t think I want to laugh and laugh that the reason the Niners became a dynasty was because Al said ‘hey? this team is for sale..you want it?”.. I WISH IT WERE TRUE.
Now, bad news for you..what’s a FACT is the Debartelo’s wanted a team..EVERYONE KNEW IT.
fact: the niner widows WANTED TO SALE..EVERYONE knows that..didn’t matter who called who, the deal was going to happen.
You act like a team was for sale..and some billionaires wanted to buy a NFL team…YET..SOMEHOW..THEY NEEDED AL DAVIS TO INFORM EACH OTHER?
No, moron..AL helped with the technicalities of the sale, WHICH IS WHAT HE WAS PAID A FEE FOR.
You, dumbass..have just been SCHOOLED AGAIN..and still laughing that you want so desperately to believe that the Niners rise to excellence is all Al’s fault…yes…ROFLMFAO…God..I wish it were true..that would be PERFECT.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
And Al didn’t know the region of the Bay Area? Explain that one to me please. He joined the Raiders in 1963 and the Raiders were winning ever since he came from LA Chargers. His success up to that time totally shoots down you BS claim.

Haha, obviously SF teams period were established before any Oakland team but SF teams were established losers. The 49ers weren’t selling out at all. As a matter of fact the 49er franchise didn’t have a soldout season until 1982 and that is a damn fact! Why mention the 3 straight division titles from 70-72 as evidence of the 49er franchise being successful? You totally ignore the fact that the 49ers were in the Bay since 1946 and hardly ever made the playoffs. The first 35 years for SF saw 5…..count them 5 playoff appearances total!
Richochet: oh gawd…*sigh*..it’s like talking to a child..seriously.
Uh…peanut? YOU stated the “NFL GOT INVOLVED”.
I stated YOU LIE. They did NOT.
YOU stated “Niners were a total wreck”
I stated their run of 3 division titles just a few years before the sale.
In other words, YOU’RE A FRIGGIN’ IDIOT.
The NFL NEVER contacted anyone about the Niners..the NFL DOESN’T DO THAT..you fool. See, I shot your sorryass down. You? YOU HAVE NOTHING IN REPLY..except to talk about prior won/loss records? What does that have to do with the exchange? NOTHING..it’s a diversion reply..because you got slapped down.
Want some irony?
82 the Niners sold out..and have EVERY SINGLE YEAR SINCE…every SINGLE GAME..
81 the Raiders sold out..AND HAVE NOT SOLD OUT SINCE THEN

While the Raiders were busy being in the title hunt every year for the last decade the 49er franchise was a joke in the Bay Area. No one was giving the damn team any support. This is California and losing teams hardly get any love and you know what I’m saying is true! Find a way to spin that one.
Richochet: how did you get on that?
Discussion AGAIN was YOU stupidly said the NFL asked Al Davis to bail out the Niners. I stated you’re a liar. I was right, you are a liar.
Now you want to discuss history?
Ok
Let’s. Prior to 1980..Raiders were good, Niners sucked.
Since 1980..you know..LAST 29 YEARS?? Raiders have become a total joke..the laughingstock of the league..the butt of all jokes..the absolute worst franchise in the history of the NFL.
The Niners became a dynasty.
Won MORE GAMES THAN ANY OTHER TEAM IN THE ‘80′S.
Hold the RECORD for consecutive seasons of 10 plus wins.
Is the ONLY TEAM EVER to have back to back NFL MVP qb’s who are in the Hall of Fame.
Has 29 STRAIGHT YEARS OF SELL OUTS..each..and EVERY game..SOLD OUT..because the fans are diehard.
And..THE NINERS HAVE OWNED THE BAY SINCE 1980..with the Raiders becoming the Niners ugly little redheaded stepsister..in our shadows..depserate to quit being the worst.
the Raiders?
Since 1980?
SCREWED OVER ALL OF THEIR LOYAL FANS..and moved to LA because Al got greedy.
Got laughed out of LA..and found out the ONLY place that would take him was Oakland.
found out the fans of Oakland said to Al what he said to them when he left..which was F YOU.
Proceeded to hire more coaches, and fire more coaches than any other team.
Proceeded to make year after year some of the dumbest FA signings, some of the dumbest draft choices..and some of the dumbest benchings of players..EVER.
Watched the previous Oakland fanbase all but disappear..WHO MOST BECAME NINER FANS.
Yeah, LMFAO on how many jumped ship..and never returned.
Last 10 years the Raiders have had more BLACKOUTS than any other team, period..because the fans are fairweather fans. Both Niner preseason games are telecast live..NEITHER RAIDER PRESEASON GAMES are telecast live.
Last 6 years the Raiders have set an NFL record for consecutive 11 loss seasons..and will likely make it 7 years..and counting.
Last 10 years players HATE BEING SIGNED BY THE RAIDERS..I mean literally CRINGE at the idea..yet those same players smile widely if picked by the Niners.
Last 10 years player after player after player who left the Raiders..their STARS..state “it’s the most dysfunctional organization in the NFL, from TOP TO BOTTOM (Rich Gannon)..to “No one is in control, and it shows” (Tim Brown) to “Place was a disaster. They should just blow the place up, and start over” (Jerry Rice)…lol..I can go on and on..from Sapp, to Washington, to Garner, to Hall..etc..etc..etc…ALL STATE THE RAIDERS ARE A JOKE..and that’s the PLAYERS..who are STILL IN THE LEAGUE.
Yeah, at one point..4 DECADES AGO..the Niners didn’t have a clue..and finally the widows, who could care less about football, finally sold..and since then the organization has switched places with the Raiders..who have been on a downward spiral ever since.
hell, little boy..the Raiders LAST SUPER BOWL WIN was over a QUARTER OF A CENTURY AGO..
Yes, LMFAO..at you..

Listen you idiot one more time…..JOE THOMAS WAS PICKED TO BE THE GM because of AL DAVIS putting in the word for him to DEBARTOLO! You quote a dumb ass pro 49er book as if its the truth but yet ignore Dan Moldea’s work. You are a damn idiot and can only quote that damn book.
Richochet: And you seem to be confused. Can you read? Are you saying that I’m lying? That the Debartelo’s HAVEN’T DESCRIBED JOE THOMAS as a “close family friend”? That they weren’t friends for 10 YEARS BEFORE THE SALE?? Of course they were..You just have your little pink panties all in a bunch because I torched you, and your silly comments.
Now, you can scream all you want..but..I provided FACTS.
What have you provided? Oh..right..YOUR opinion.
Means squat, little boy.
And yeah, I believe a book that Bill Walsh helped write. Also believe his book..you know..his words.
Moldea? WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR POINT?
HAVE NO IDEA..what? That the Debartelo’s had “ties” to the mob? What’s your point? If I said “Ok, so what”..then what’s your answer?
We’re discussing Davis Walsh, and the Niners rise to glory and the Raiders descend into the abyss..and you want to talk about mob ties? lol..
Ok..let’s..Moldea’s book has linked “ties”..(in other words, he has NO PROOF OF ANYTHING) to 26 DIFFERENT OWNERS.
Yeah..idiot…26 DIFFERENT NFL OWNERS moldea is claiming “has ties”…and what’s your point?
Have NO IDEA why you’re harping on this..what the HELL IS YOUR POINT?
Moldea also stated there have been over 50 “investigations” that have been supressed..that there have been over 70 games “fixed”..and yet, no one knows who Moldea is..because he’s rambling..and no one’s listening..except you..so..regarding 26 owners..what, exactly, has got you all tearing up?

watching film on graham dude has got dman quick azz first step!! we have no de’s that get off the line like that. he is also good against the run. imagine a de that can rush the passer and stuff the run on this d. i know it wont happen but i hope we can hold that 8th pick hostage for somebody to get more picks. there is alot of talent on the lines this year.

That book is crap and Harris is seen as a so-so writer so there ya go! Walsh didnt re-invent . Paul Brown created that offense in the 1950s but it couldnt be used because of the rules back then players would get absolutely killed. It was the late 70s when the Steelers about how they were getting dogged by the Raider Dbs and the rules were changed. That is how that garbage WCO took off.
Richochet: Again, YOU’RE RAMBLING. Where did I EVER state Walsh reinvented anything? I didn’t, moron. You, obviously, are miffed that this is one of his legacy’s..deal with it. Walsh’s legacy is as a Genius. His legacy is PERFECTING the West Coast offense. No one ever said he invented it..he just perfected it..to where EVERY SINGLE TEAM IN THE NFL BOUGHT INTO IT..and still uses it to this day..yeah..that’s all Bill Walsh.
he also created a dynasty.
Was also a classy guy.
Al Davis?
A hermit.
A stubborn codgity old man who listens to no one.
A owner who used to be feared who is now laughed at because his senility has him making silly decisions, and no one dares tell him that.
A owner who has his team being viewed as the most dysfunctional team in the NFL.
A owner who’s created a situation where NO head coach of quality will ever want to coach there.
A owner where players hate playing for, actually stating “a team where careers go to die”.
A owner who blatantly screws over his own fans, both by moving the team when EVERY GAME WAS SELLING OUT, to screwing them over for SB tickets, canceling parades..and canceling fan days all for payback against Alameda County.
An owner who has half of his fans, on EVERY SINGLE RAIDER BOARD wishing he would just go away..far away..and stay away.
That’s the difference between the two.
One is total class…the other one a total ass who’s dragged his team into the gutter.
That was fun
Thanks AGAIN for the setup, Brie.

Since he doesn’t give a rats azz about fans of the Raider Nation and our frustrations with him screwing things up…..then why should you give a rats azz about him?
January 31st, 2010 at 11:41 pm
Armond take a goood look man, Dan Williams was that good he was the one they doubled, If you lok at his get-off it’s damn good I was surprised he was as quick and stout as he is. The ORG larsen was blcking Cody one on one and steering him. THen they had to take Cody out because he got winded in the middle of the damn drive. All he could play was 6 downs and he got winded.
Go back and look at the 1st qrtr when he and Williams were in the game Williams played the entire drive and Cody couldn’t. Just because a guy is big and fat doesn’t mean he’s dominant it just means he’s big and fat. Cody tends to tire and stand too high losing leverage that’s when he can be influence blocked or trapped. He will give you about 10-15 great downs a game that’s it.
There is npo Raider fan on earth that hates getting run on worse than me. But I know what it takes to stop the run I would take dan Williams ten times out of ten over Cody.
Look at all the mock drafts almost no one has that fat slob going in the 1st rnd and it has nothing to do with his talent it’s his weight. he can’t control it. Or he would be a top 15 pick. He’s had 4 years to get it under control he just can’t………period
January 31st, 2010 at 11:56 pm
Look I know you guy’s don’t believe this but I’m telling you, you think you want that guy in 2 years you’ll be cursing him. He will not solve our run problems. A player like Dan Williams is 3 times better now and later. Hell there is a kid from Stanford he got hurt or he would’ve played in the senior bowl. I would much rather get him and let him heal for a year.
I’m thinking we might even go for a DE like Morgan or Dunlap who has rare size and athleticism. I just wpouldn’t waste a high pick on Cody maybe 4th 5th rnd he would have great value. We need guy’s that will play now and play consistently well.
February 1st, 2010 at 12:00 am
I begged the Raiders to draft a guy named Eric Foster from Rutgers in the 6th or 7th rnd. They said he didn’t fit the defene well Indy drafted him in the 6th rnd and he starts the same year we drafted DMC instead of CJ. Foster is a stud players like that make you better. Not fat slobs who can’t stay on the field.
February 1st, 2010 at 12:14 am
That damn probowl was the biggest FARSE I have ever seen. Those guy’s weren’t playing football at all. They wanted to light up the scoreboard for the fans. It was a joke!! They let guy’s score it looked as if they were allergic to tackles.
February 1st, 2010 at 12:59 am
Yeh, Priest, and the previous pro bowls were just real slug fests.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:26 am
It’s amazing how much time Raider fans can spend talking about the draft, as if it’s just a few players in a few positions that are the problem. What do you think Al’s going to do differently this time around? Al Davis hasn’t built a solid team via the draft since some of you were playing Atari, in your underoos. The last good team we had was a product of free agency, not the draft. Rich Gannon, by far that team’s most valuable player, a certainty that’s only been disputed publicly thus far by John Herrera, yeh, the same guy who in a fit of rage couldn’t even scare Tim Kawakami, was a product of free agency. So were Charlie Garner and Jerry Rice. Tim Brown was homegrown but was used sparingly until Jeff Hostetler made him his number one target. Hostetler would also have to lobby for Tim when Al thought about not renewing his contract after the ‘93 season, a move Tim might be bittersweet about today considering he only would have went to Denver and gotten two rings. Denver, btw, has no problem with black guys from Notre Dame.
Al can’t draft, can’t even develop or maintain the good players he does draft. Al could have drafted Adrian Peterson instead of Russell and Peterson would probably be in a wheelchair by now, courtesy of about the 100th funnel shot taken from a blitzing linebacker while blocking for Andrew Walter.
Nnamdi Asomugha is probably the only exception that doesn’t kick for a living, and it’s amazing he’s still here and playing well considering how many times Al has tried to ruin him, too, by giving him no help over the top. Nnamdi’s picks would be doubled anywhere else in the league. Doubled. In Oakland, balls just get thrown away from him and to any of the other DBs being burned in man coverage whilst no pass rush. It’s amazing he hasn’t just come out and slammed Al publicly yet, although he’s given hints. Wait till this career’s over. You thought Gannon was bad.
Draft talk…LOL.

Martz worked for NFL Network and famously criticized Bears quarterback Jay Cutler for his attitude during the postgame press conference after the Bears’ season-opening loss to the Packers.
“He just doesn’t get it,” Martz said on the air. “He just doesn’t understand that he represents a great head coach and the rest of the players on that team. Somebody needs to talk to him.”
But Martz also has praised Cutler as having more talent than any quarterback he has seen.
Getting Cutler’s stamp of approval for the Bears’ offensive coordinator position is a potential road block for Martz. But if Martz can do for Cutler what he did for Kurt Warner, Marc Bulger and Kitna, they are likely to get along just fine.

Mike Iupati, G, Idaho. There is a lot of intrigue about him. He is no doubt an elite prospect who will be a first-round pick because of his size, strength, aggressiveness and athleticism. NFL personnel men want to see his athleticism in person to figure out if he can play tackle in the NFL. Nearly every scout who has evaluated Iupati on film says he has the footwork and athleticism to be an NFL left tackle. If he shines in the bowl game and during Senior Bowl drills, he could challenge Oklahoma State’s Russell Okung and Oklahoma’s Trent Williams to be the first offensive lineman drafted.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:38 am
01/29/2010 – Mike Iupati has been everywhere this week. Not around Mobile – though he has covered some ground there, too – but along the North team’s offensive line. The 6-foot-5, 325-pounder from Idaho has made an impression wherever he’s played. “I think he is one of the stars of the week,” Mike Mayock, an analyst for the NFL Network, said of Iupati, a consensus All-American pick this season for the Vandals. “He is one of the few people that I could say that could probably start at any of the five positions in the NFL on the offensive line. So I think he’s a first-round pick. On tape, he was a first-round pick and he’s done nothing but help himself by coming here.” Wednesday, Iupati was placed at right tackle and performed well. At Tuesday’s practice, he got in some work at guard, the position he played at Idaho. But the Detroit Lions’ coaching staff placed him at the all-important left tackle spot, too, just to take a look. “I got beat three or four times (at left tackle),” Iupati said. “But by the end of the day I was doing OK.” Throughout Senior Bowl practices this week, Iupati has done much better than OK. Among those paying attention and becoming a fan is North team coach Jim Schwartz. “The thing scouts, general managers and coaches want to see when you step up to this level and go against guys from bigger conferences is if there is an adjustment,” Schwartz said. “There hasn’t been a whole lot of adjustment for Mike. He’s right at home playing against these other guys, who are the best players in the country.” – Tommy Hicks, Alabama Live

Marty Hurney and coach John Fox went to great lengths to keep Peppers in 2009, going against his public wishes to be allowed to leave as a free agent. The Panthers used the restrictive franchise tag and paid him an NFL-high $18.2 million. That counts a $1.5 million bonus for making the Pro Bowl after he recorded 10 1/2 sacks.
Using the tag again next season would cost about $20.1 million, plus another $1.5 million for the Pro Bowl and $250,000 for each playoff win. Signing the 30-year-old to a long-term contract could likely cost in upward of $15 million a year.
too costly for Oakland?
February 1st, 2010 at 7:39 am
Al, things are getting booooooring around here….fire someone.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:41 am
Jhill: I have a feeling Oakland will pass on Mike Iupati and he’ll be snagged by Buffalo, Dungver, Jax, Miami, SF or Seattle …
February 1st, 2010 at 7:43 am
Iupati had a strange game. He looked very good at left guard. On a touchdown run by Oregon’s LaGarrette Blount (who looked great), for example, Iupati chipped on one of the defensive linemen and then made a block on a linebacker at the second level of the defense. It was a nice showcase of his strength and athleticism. When he moved to right guard, however, he struggled. He had two bad plays in a row early in the game and was flagged for an obvious holding penalty that negated a touchdown. He had a hard time both with power rushers – Tennessee’s Dan Williams – and speed rushers, Georgia’s Geno Atkins. Atkins, in fact, spun free of Iupati later in the first half for a quarterback sack. Entering the game, the announcers were raving that Iupati could play five positions on the offensive line. Maybe he can, but today he was only good at one – left guard.

“Oooooh, flat-backed him,” said an NFL assistant coach in the stands at Land Peebles Stadium.
Sure enough, Idaho’s Mike Iupati had done just that, putting an opposing defensive lineman on his back, part of an impressive showing by one of the top-rated guards in the draft.

Our offensive line was really a bit of a mess last year particularly when Rob Gallery was out, which was most of the season. Was there another unit on our entire team that needs as much upgrade work as the Oline? I can’t think of one.

Man that Richochet sure has a lot of energy to burn.
Does anyone even read those novels he is constantly tossing out?
I thought both Iupati and McCluster were workout warriors this week, and when it came game-time, not too impressive.
Iupati’s first quarter was about on par with a Cornell Green 1st quarter. One blatant hold bringing back a TD, than a wiff and a sack allowed.
I know he improved later in the game, and is very athletic, but I don’t see him going in the top 20.
He is not a LT, and guards just don’t get taken that high.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:57 am
The last 3 years we should have drafted for trench warfare. Last year we passed on a great LB draft, for some unknown reason. How come we never hear that so and so from player personnel was firewd for cause…
February 1st, 2010 at 7:58 am
DT Geno Atkins, Georgia: Atkins’ burst off the snap disrupted offensive linemen throughout the week of practice. Some observers projected a tough Saturday for Atkins based on his matchup with Idaho offensive guard Mike Iupati, the top-ranked guard in Mobile this week. Atkins’ burst and agility was too much for Iupati. Atkins recorded a sack of Oregon State quarterback Sean Canfield in the second quarter.
February 1st, 2010 at 7:58 am
Chris Morris & Khalif Barnes = RFA’s
Cornell Green & Langston Walker = UFA’s
I don’t think we’ll re-sign any of these scrubs.
Cable seems sold on Satele at Center though – unfortunately.
not sure on the contract status of Carlisle & Pears, but they should be axed as well …
give Jim Michalczik some input on finding some OL for the ZBS. Cable obviously has failed in that regard
February 1st, 2010 at 7:59 am
Mike Iupati (6′6-330) out of Idaho has shot up the draft charts like a rocket as the season progressed. He got some snaps this week at his natural guard spot and a peek at OT in Mobile. Iupati has a mean streak and tremendous size and strength. He handled himself very well in pass rush drills, finished his blocks and gave total effort in dominating his opponents.

LB’s.
Look at the top team stopping the run last year, the Packers. Two 1st round picks, and a 2nd rounder amongst their 4 LB’s.
Jets, signed a Pro Bowler (Scott) drafted Harris in the 2nd and Gholston in the first.
Ravens have Lewis and Suggs, both top 20 picks.
We have, what else, 6th rounders and 3rd rounders, with undrafted FA as depth.
Pathetic.

I think Okung and Williams will be gone when we pick. Bulaga wouldn’t be a bad pick at all. I’m just liking what I’m hearing about Iupati. Could wind up being the best Olineman in the draft? We need a guy like that on our line. Any one of the guys who could end up being the best. I like your names, but I’d add Iupati to that.
Vegas, you might be able to find “A” guard in later rounds, but that guard won’t be on the level on an Iupati.
February 1st, 2010 at 8:09 am
As a group, I wouldn’t say LB is an issue. MLB in itself is a HUGE need. But Scott and Howard at OLB are right where they need to be.

Our offensive line was really a bit of a mess last year particularly when Rob Gallery was out, which was most of the season. Was there another unit on our entire team that needs as much upgrade work as the Oline? I can’t think of one.

Jim Otto, Dave Dalby, Don Mosebar and even Barrett Robbins until he lost it…great centers…now we are stuck with the weak Samson…
February 1st, 2010 at 8:14 am
Fargas was our feature back when our offense had some of it’s most productive games this year (Bengals and Steelers)
Not saying, but just saying.
I think we scored 20 points 4 times last year (Bengals, Steelers, week 1, and at Den), and we were 3-1 when we did.
We need to got more stout against the run, but anything other than the worst offense in the league would help the D dramatically.

For all that doubted USC safety Taylor Mays, he demonstrated a good impersonation of another former Trojan safety Ronnie Lott with his bone jawing hits this week. But the 6′3, 235 pounder might be more suited for LB on Sundays. He had a little trouble in pass coverage.

Ahhh…..A taste of my own medicine. Yes the #1 OG.
I just don’t want to see the #1 G get punched in the mouth like he did in the first quarter. With his mean streak, and borderline holding on a lot of calls, plus just being on the Raiders and being young, if we did draft him, I would anticipate a lot of penalties the first year or two.
February 1st, 2010 at 8:21 am
Did Iupati line up against anybody that is going to play on Sunday’s up in Idaho? I know they played USC, but talk about some crappy competition.
I would be more comfortable with a guy from the SEC or Big Ten, were there is legit NFL talent on the lines week in and week out.
————————————————–
Mark Schlereth played for Idaho. And what about Boise State? And buy the way, as a Raider fan, haven’t you seen firsthand that the SEC does not necessarily equate to NFL success.

LOL Vegas!
Point well taken. #1 OG who “could” challenge everyone of our guys for their starting spot? Even if it take a year or so to settle into that position, whatever it is, I like it. Let him play OG to get his feet wet. Give Mario another year to see if he can cut the mustard.
I have a feeling Satele is going to be ok this year.

Trevor Scott is solid at WLB. probably our best pass rusher despite his lack of size. tweener lines up at DE on obvious passing downs and creates havoc.
Ricky Brown is solid on special teams and he’s probably the best tackler of any of our LB’s. just gets hurt WAY too often. groin last year. ankle this year
Norris was a 4th rounder who barely made the practice squad. Has Nixon passed him on the depth chart yet?
Alston was drafted by the Rams in Round 3. we got him in free agency a few years back dirt cheap. Also great on ST
We need to slide Morrison outside and find a real MLB. somebody who has leadership and delivers bone crushing hits behind the line of scrimmage.
February 1st, 2010 at 8:28 am

Herrera was seen scolding the waiter for not providing enough bread sticks. This could raise speculation about the young Stanford coach possibly coming to the Raiders. When asked about his fate, Tom Cable replied, “What, me worry?”

Morning Nation!!
February 1st, 2010 at 8:32 am
I wouldn’t annoint Iupati as the pick yet. LG is actually our only solid position..
“Idaho’s Mike Iupati struggled noticeably at right guard in the Senior Bowl.
Iupati played well at left guard, showing nice strength and athleticism to spring Oregon’s LaGarrette Blount for a touchdown. On the right side, though, he was dominated by Tennessee NT Dan Williams and Georgia DE Geno Atkins. Billed as a versatile lineman, Iupati may be limited to left guard in the pros.
Source: Sacramento Bee”
February 1st, 2010 at 8:32 am
J,
There is only 2 real job openings on the line, RG, RT, and that doesn’t count what they may do in FA. So, if we do take an O-lineman in the first, it would sense if it was a C/G prospect.
Henderson will be, and probably should be our LT for one more year. If he doesn’t deliver, get a cadillac next year in the first. Makes much more sense to me.
February 1st, 2010 at 8:34 am
I thought he got his lunched handed to him in the first quarter. Dan Williams is a stud, but he will be facing “Dan Williams’es” in the pro’s every week.

As for Nnamdi at the probowl, I was watching to see what he would do with Revis on the other side. There were a couple of WR bubble screens thrown his way and a fake reverse thrown by D Jackson towards the endzone but that was it for Nnamdi’s action.
He was taken out sometime in the 2nd quarter in favor of Champ Bailey who played the rest of the game opposite Revis. I didn’t see Nnamdi the rest of the game.
Suppose that’s what you get for having Norv and the chargers staff coaching the AFC side. I guess as long as he doesn’t get hurt than who cares!
February 1st, 2010 at 8:35 am
I see all of your comments on Iupati and I wonder if I saw the same game as you. I only watched the first half, but I saw a guy who was good at run blocker, but had to hold on almost every passing play. Not ticky tack holds that you see most of the time, but blatant both hands on the jersey. I don’t see him transitioning to a tackle.

Colorado,
I AGREE 100%
He is not good at pass blocking, he has to hold on every play.
I think he is overhyped, and Weatherspoon is underrated.
Last 2 years Spoon had 261 TKLs, 33 TFLs, 10 Sacks, and 4 INTs.
February 1st, 2010 at 8:49 am
Ekejiuba, Brown, Alston & Williams = solid on special teams
Lawton & Stewart too.
problems occur when guys like Alston, Williams & Lawton are inserted into the starting lineup due to lack of competition or injury.
Satele, Carlisle, Green, Fargas, Warren & Eugene would have a hard time cracking another team’s 53 man roster. they might stick as backups if the price was right, but none of them would be starting or earning the kind of pay they are getting here in Oakland…

—————————-
In terms of depth, sure SEC, Big Ten and other BCS conference schools are typically better from teams from the WAC or other mid-majors. But there are a ton of superstar players to come out of those mid-major conferences as well. Not to mention that the disparity between the conferences is also overhyped. What did Utah do to 1-loss Alabama in the 2008 Sugar Bowl? Demolished them. Boise took down Oklahoma in that classic Fiesta Bowl game a few years back and knocked off a real explosive Oregon team this year. The BCS schools know they are overhyped and that’s why they ducked Boise State and TCU this year. Because they knew if both teams beat BCS conference schools in their bowl games — a real possibility — it would really hurt the big conferences’ stranglehold on the system.
Anyway,
- Ben Roethlisberger is from the MAC. JaMarcus Russell is from the SEC. Who would you rather have?
- Marshall Faulk was from the WAC. Lawrence Phillips was from the Big 12. Who’s a Hall of Famer and who’s, um, not?
- DeMarcus Ware is from the Sun Belt Conference. Jared Allen is from the WAC (Idaho, actually) would you rather have one of those guys or Jarvis Moss (SEC) or Tyler Brayton (Big 12)?
These are just a couple examples off the top of my head. The reality is there are many great players out there right now and many Hall of Famers to come out of these less-hyped conferences. The competition is one thing you have to figure in to analyzing a player but it’s ridiculous to discount guys from these second-tier leagues.

Is 46 solo tackles & 2 sacks worth $2.5 million? thats what he produced this year.
not in my book. dude got knocked out by Glen Coffee!
Morrison, Howard & Scott all trumped his numbers this year by a good margin.
February 1st, 2010 at 9:05 am
I can’t believe Nnamdi got hurt in the f-ing Pro Bowl. Hopefully it was something real minor and he just pulled himself out for precaution. Those guys were all playing half-speed all game just so nobody gets hurt, and now this? Unbelievable.

You’re a dork. Nnamdi didn’t give up one catch in the Pro Bowl. Most of Jackson’s big plays came against Champ Bailey and he had a catch or two against Revis as well.

February 1st, 2010 at 9:21 am
I know the first tackle was on Vernon Davis who was pretty much left uncovered by the LBs and Nnamdi came up and got him after a big game. Don’t remember the other two tackles but I’d bet that no, they weren’t guys he was covering or supposed to be covering. Could’ve been similar to the Davis play, maybe a screen pass or maybe a running play. Didn’t see him get beat for anything and with 70+ points on the board a lot of other corners obviously did. Still, it’s the Pro Bowl and no one is trying all that hard anyway so it doesn’t mean a whole hell of a lot.

23 yards per return on kicks. 1 TD
8 yards per return on punts. 1 TD
also has 3 catches for 86 yards and a TD during that time span …
I don’t think we’re going to spend a 2nd or 3rd rounder on a guy to take on these duties.
Higgins will get another shot. Nick Miller will finally get his shot and Justin Miller could always be re-signed for peanuts.
February 1st, 2010 at 10:05 am
Revis and Nnamdi on the same team would = weak nickle/dime corners and linebackers covering slot receivers and getting burned. You would spend so much of your cap on those 2 guys that the entire rest of the team would have to be bums…

******************************************************
Kirby Lee/US Presswire
Nnamdi Asomugha (21) says he and Darrelle Revis have talked about playing in the same secondary.MIAMI — A few AFC thoughts and observations from its 41-34 victory in Sunday night’s Pro Bowl at Sun Life Stadium …
I just heard one of the scariest ideas anybody has mentioned to me in a long time.
The AFC’s starting cornerbacks, Darrelle Revis and Nnamdi Asomugha, want to play on the same team. As fantastical as that notion might be, it’s frightening to consider.
Pro Bowl Coverage
• Recap: AFC pulls away in fourth
• AFC Pro Bowl observations
• NFC Pro Bowl observations
• Romo hangs out, looks forward
• NFL Nation Live replay
• More: 2010 Pro Bowl coverage
Oakland Raiders star Asomugha was smiling when he brought up the dream scenario, but insisted he was “dead serious” and has spoken to New York Jets coach Rex Ryan about it.
“Me and Revis have been talking to Rex to try to do something,” Asomugha said. “You may see us in the future. There’s a little bit of talk going on. Either he’s coming to Oakland or something else will happen.”
Said Revis: “Me and him have talked about it, but I can’t really control that situation. I don’t know if he can either.”
As much of a nightmare as it would be for opposing quarterbacks, it would be just as daunting for a team’s capologist to figure out a way to pay them both. Asomugha has two years left on a three-year, $45.3 million contract that made him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history.
Revis, considered by most to be the NFL’s top cover cornerback, might make more than that soon.
“That’s a lot of money they’re going to be pushing around,” Revis said, “but that’ll be tough for quarterbacks. I’ll tell you that.”
Revis and Asomugha on the field together would elicit memories of Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes for the Oakland Raiders in the 1980s.
“In a league where the art of man-to-man has kind of gone out of style, that could bring it back,” Asomugha said.
“You always want that as a player, to have that guy on the other side of you that’s equally as talented and can make plays. It fuels you a little bit. We’d been joking around with [AFC coach] Norv Turner throughout practices all week, and with [NFL commissioner] Roger Goodell. He said they probably wouldn’t allow us on the same team.”
February 1st, 2010 at 10:07 am
I agree with jhill, if Haden really is the best player available and he might be, just grab him, go for the sure thing, we need players who can play right away and Haden would start from day 1.
That being said, right now I’d like to get McClain in round 1 and Maurkice Pouncey with our 2nd pick, even if we have to move up……draft OT-OT or OT-DT with our two 3rd round picks.
February 1st, 2010 at 10:08 am
What about Cornbread at RG?
***
might as well get Chris Morris, Langston Walker, Paul McQuistan, Erik Pears, Khalif Barnes, Kwame Harris, Brandon Rodd, Roy Schuening, Elliot Vallejo or Tim Mattran to play RG or RT then if we’re looking to keep scrubs on the starting OL!
Why even switch out Cooper Carlisle if thats the case?
February 1st, 2010 at 10:10 am
Worked for Gallery. Cornbread can run-block, he just can’t pass-block. Any he may have fewer penalties if he isn’t facing as many pass rushers.

Nnamdi might not like being exposed playing next to Revis.
February 1st, 2010 at 10:21 am
I say let’s pick up where we left off last summer before Barnes broke his leg. Let him and Mario battle it out for LT with the loser moving over to RT.
We could then draft the best DT on the board to replace Warren in the starting lineup. Then again, we could go ahead and move seymour inside and draft a guy like Morgan to play DE.

Draft an OT prospect in rd 3 this year.
If you look at Green’s strengths, they seem to translate well to OG. More about NOT having Carlisle back and not having enough picks to fix all the problems.
Green at OT is not an option in my book.

One guy we should take a look at is Tony Ugoh from Indy, he lost his job as LT but he’s a talented player, he came here to visit before the 07 draft so they know about him, if he’s healthy and Indy is willing to move him, we should explore trade options.

Why would we draft a nickel corner at No. 8? No to Haden. No to McClain. I don’t mind going best player available but neither of those guys is in the top-10 and CB is probably our last area of need besides Kicker, Punter and long-snappper.

Green and Barnes won’t be breaking the bank. You act like we’re talking real $ here. Those guys would get veteran minimums or slightly more and compete for a spot.
I don’t know that Barnes can’t play OT. But I do know that Henderson and Green can’t play the position that well either. Cable brought Barnes in to challenge Henderson for the LEFT tackle spot. I think he should get another year since he BROKE HIS LEG before we could see the battle.
Your 3-4 anlaogy is ridiculous. Saying moving Green to OG is not like saying move Warren to NT. Ridiculous!

MRI revealed a fractured left ankle and Barnes only missed 6 weeks.
started 2 games at RT when Green was injured. in those 2 games he gave up 2 sacks and had 2 false starts
and he’s worth re-signing to play RT because WHY???
and Green has played guard in the nfl WHEN ???
Green has been in the NFL for 10 years and nobody ever thought of moving him to guard.
February 1st, 2010 at 11:07 am
I don’t know that Barnes can’t play OT.

left tackle is his natural position. He started 16 games at LT for the Jags in 2008.
3 false starts, 5 holding calls and 8 sacks allowed.

February 1st, 2010 at 11:10 am
Mike Pouncey would be a very good choice for us in the top of the 2nd and would not be a reach at that spot. I like Haden at #8 as well. He’s a big physical corner, who plays well in man. Kind of fits our bill to a T really.
February 1st, 2010 at 11:11 am
http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/02/01/espn-nfl-crow-about-pro-bowl-ratings/
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The Pro Bowl is, as we’ve all heard millions of times, a meaningless exhibition that no one cares about.
But the folks from ESPN and the NFL are boasting in the Super Bowl media center on Monday that a few people do care about the Pro Bowl. Actually, more than a few.
The numbers are in from Sunday night’s game, and the Pro Bowl broadcast did a 7.9 overnight rating, which is 39 percent higher than the rating the Pro Bowl got on NBC last year. By way of comparison, that’s a better rating than the Orange Bowl or the final round of last year’s PGA Championship. It also dwarfs the 4.4 overnight rating that Sunday’s Lakers-Celtics game got on ABC.
In other words, the NFL dominates television ratings to such an extent that even for a meaningless exhibition, it draws the kind of numbers that other sports leagues would kill for.
The next two Pro Bowls will be in Hawaii, not in the Super Bowl host cities, but the NFL hasn’t yet decided whether to have them a week before the Super Bowl or a week after. However, Sunday’s strong ratings will likely make the NFL continue its practice of having the Pro Bowl the Sunday before the Super Bowl.
And no matter how many people complain that the Pro Bowl is meaningless, everyone here from the NFL and ESPN is boasting that the Pro Bowl means plenty on the TV ratings front.
+++++++
Looks like their plan worked…the players didn’t show up but the viewers did lol.
February 1st, 2010 at 11:12 am
I’ll say it again Rockstar …
Because we don’t have enough draft picks to fix everything in one year.
Langston Walker hadn’t played guard before this year and he looked decent. Green is bigger and stronger than Carlisle. Between Green and Carlisle, bigger and stronger, I’d rather have Walker or Green. Figured Cable likes Green more than Walker.
I gave you my reasons for wanting Barnes to compete at LEFT tackle with Henderson and whoever we draft in the 3rd rd. It’s ok if you disagree, lol!
February 1st, 2010 at 11:15 am
I’d rather let Cooper Carlisle battle with Brandon Rodd for the RG spot and let Erik Pears battle with Langston Walker for the RT spot than re-signing Green & Barnes …
hand picked by OL expert Tom Cable along with Kwame Harris. 3 huge flops that have stunted the growth of both Russell & McFadden imo
February 1st, 2010 at 11:15 am
3 false starts, 5 holding calls and 8 sacks allowed.

We went over this last summer. Sacks given up against Freeney, Peppers, and Mario Williams. I’m not going to dig that stuff up again. You don’t like the guy competing at OT. Duely noted.

Henderson, Satale, Barnes?
None would start anywhere else.
Henderson either led the league in sacks allowed, (through middle of dec) or ended up 2nd or so.
Satale constantly got manhandled, which is why he was let go previously.
Barnes is a backup, at best.

February 1st, 2010 at 11:20 am
Barnes didn’t even play last year. 2 games? And he stunted the growth of Russell and McFadden?
We all know Green has been a disaster at OT not even sure why you keep bringing him up. Walker at RT? He can’t even move man. How would he be better than Green? Green and Walker are now just fat guys how need bump belly’s with the defensive fat guys like Jenkins and Wilfork. They have no business trying to block today’s edge rushers.
February 1st, 2010 at 11:21 am
Was pretty ignorant of Cable to ignore Kwame’s stats, believing HE would be able to turn a league leading penalty machine, who got beat like a drum, into a solid blind side LT.
That wasn’t bad enough..he watches him AGAIN lead the league in penalties, for 12 games, before yanking him.
Wasn’t the Oline Cable’s claim to fame?
February 1st, 2010 at 11:23 am
Well we are not drafting more than 1 offensive lineman in this draft.
Henderson, Satele, and Barnes may not start for any other team, but at least 2 of them will be starting for the Raiders next year.
February 1st, 2010 at 11:23 am
Marley,
Pouncey in the 2nd round would be a good pick.
JHill,
In watching several Florida and Alabama games the past two years neither Haden nor McClain really jumped out to me as a special player. Maybe I missed something.
Haden may be a good player, but I don’t think Haden is significantly better than some of the other CB options. More importantly, I’m happy with CJ and I think we just need to get someone who is better at covering quick slot WRs than Routt, who is better suited for the outside. Don’t see drafting Haden with all the money we have tied up in Nnamdi.
McClain just doesn’t blow me away either. I think some of the other LB prospects like Weatherspoon from Missouri and Spikes from Florida are just as good or probably even better. McClain isn’t as good as any of the 3 USC LBs from last year. He’s not explosive. He plays too high. I think he benefitted from playing on a good defense and would be a disaster pick at No. 8. Someone who agrees with my take on McClain posted this “highlight” video on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhG6bwopKTc
I’d rather go out and get some big-time o-linemen or a stud d-lineman. Several of those guys are available in this year’s draft. If we were going to strictly go with best player available — given the consensus projections of the top-5 — I’d take Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State. But with so many 1st- and 2nd-year WRs already on the roster I don’t see that happening.
February 1st, 2010 at 11:25 am
Ricky,
do you think we can just mix & match positions with the current scrub filled personnel on the roster and have a dominant o-line?
February 1st, 2010 at 11:26 am
Well, it’s set.
Forever more, SB will be a two week gap.
ProBowl will be week prior to SB.
People are still hyped for football, and obviously it’s the only game on, albeit a fake game..and people turn on to get their fix.
Once the SB is over, many people check out until the draft.
Of course, some of you here check out after the Raiders first game…but that’s another story.
“checking out” is not to be confused with pulling an OakGlenn, which is change your handle every other month.

I don’t know if I would say he played well, I would rate him as adequate. There are a few things with the Raiders you can absolutely expect. A run and deep passing offense. To succeed with that, you HAVE to have a premier offensive line. We don’t.

I’ll have to defer Chris. Didn’t see Haden or McClain play one game this year. Just looking at the draft boards and most of them have these guys as top 10 talents.
I with you on Iupati, but we seem to be in the minority. I’d also down with that C Marley is talking about in Rd 2.

One of the major issues if not THE major issue with the Raiders is the big plays they give up on defense. When you are giving up HUGE runs, your secondary run support is suspect. That’s where Haden comes in. He is a very good run support corner.

I think Orton, Cassel & Leinart are safe for this year anyways … Shanny says RFA Jason Campbell is safe in Washington too
I wonder if anybody would give Jake Delhomme, Alex Smith & Trent Edwards a shot?
I think the Vikings will stick with Sage Rosenfels & RFA Tarvaris Jackson this season. that was the plan before Brett Favre made up his mind last offseason.

Chris in NY,
I wasn’t trying to re-hash the BCS non BCS school nonsense, and I don’t discredit guys from smaller schools, except when it comes to the lineman. This weekend was the top competition Iaopti ever faced, and to no suprise, he struggled. Seems like a bigger learning curve for him than other lineman from top-flight schools. Can he overcome that, sure and plenty do, but the added “hurdle” if you will, is there.
And there is a HUGE difference from Utah and TCU in the Mountain West than the WAC. The Mountain West may have close to 15 people drafted this year, I doubt the WAC gets any more than 5.
We need a G badly, but has any guard ever been drafted in the top 10? If not, do you have confidence that Al would be the one G that deserved to be a top 10 pick? I don’t.

February 1st, 2010 at 12:18 pm
Derek Anderson & Brady Quinn are both under contract in Cleveland, but I’m sure either one or both players are available via trade.
Chad Pennington might have 1 season left?
will the Titans keep Kerry Collins now that Vince Young has matured?
will the Eagles keep Vick at $5 million?
David Carr, Daunte Culpepper, Shaun Hill, Chris Redman, Byron Leftwich & Marc Bulger could be available soon. Maybe even Matt Hasselbeck
February 1st, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Al loves former 1st rounders.
maybe Gradkowski & Frye will be replaced in the QB competition by Rex Grossman & Patrick Ramsey?
then we’ll have a Russell/Losman/Grossman/Ramsey QB camp battle. haha
February 1st, 2010 at 12:21 pm
I will take langston Walker at RG over ANY O-lineman coming out
February 1st, 2010 at 12:21 pm

February 1st, 2010 at 12:25 pm
I don’t know about that 5 WAC players drafted estimate Vegas. First, Boise did beat the MWC’s best in their bowl game. So while I agree the MWC is deeper, I don’t think the leagues are that far apart. Second, there are at least 3 offensive skill position players from Fresno State alone that will be drafted (Matthews, Miller and Ajirotutu). Iupati is a first rounder. The CB from Boise State is a borderline 1st rounder. And that’s just off the top of my head. Guaranteed there are some players from Nevada, Hawaii and other schools that will get drafted as well.
February 1st, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Speculate all you want on who we SHOULD pick, but I’m telling ya AL is still watching that pick Taylor Mays made at the Sr. Bowl on a continuous loop, with a pallet load of drool towels at the ready…..
February 1st, 2010 at 12:27 pm
So I talked to my buddy yesterday who hangs with Jamarcus and has been to his house about a dozen times. I asked him a few questions about our good buddy.
Said there is “talk” of him going to AZ to work-out, but he brought about a dozen guys with him, and let’s say there focus isn’t on training.
It seems Jamarcus has purchased a G4 leasing service for the offseason, so he can take the crew on the country-wide party tour (starting in Vegas), and so he can go hang with his new best friend Jeezy in the ATL, easily and in class. I guess Russell has discussed some ownership potential with Magic City.
I asked him what the odds are that Jamarcus will be in great shape for training camp. He laughed, said Zero, and said that Jamarcus won the lottery and quit his job.
Fairly credible source, could be some slight exaggerations however, but the meat and potatoes is there. The mentality of hard-work is nowhere in the mix.

Seymour,
What o-linemen do you like. Anyone in particular or just whatever it takes to fix it?
========================================================
Chris one thing that I think most fans don’t quite get is Pro organizations know what kind of crop of talent is available probably 5 YEARS in advance. In other words the reason we might have skipped on Olineman last year is because the Raiders knew four years ago that this years crop would be good. And good it is! That being said, if Russell Okung is available at #8, you have to take him. That guy could block out the sun. That solves that problem for the next 10 years. Bruce Campbell I also really like. Same with Bryan Bulaga. Further down the draft I thought that kid Vladamir Duccase looked VERY good. Same with Ciron Black. Black looked to me to be a very good LT that might last til the 3rd or 4th.
On the Interior of the line, Mike Pouncey from Florida gets my vote at the top of the 2nd. Two other guys I thought played very well were Mike Johnson from Alabama and John Jerry from Ole Miss who could be 3-4th round guys. John Jerry is Peria Jerry’s brother, who’s best friend is Mike Oher, so they have a bit of comraderie and history of success.
February 1st, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Chris,
Boise beat TCU this year, TCU beat them last year. Fresno did lose to Wyoming, which was like the 5th best team in the MWC. Point is, MWC, like you said, is much deeper.
I was doing the draft numbers off my head, so I could be off by a few. But the MWC will have more people drafted than WAC, and I bet they double them in draft picks.
I think the MWC might have been better than the Pac-10 this past year, and I am a Pac-10 homer.
February 1st, 2010 at 12:38 pm
thanks for the info Vegas.
can’t say i’m surprised (if that’s true)
I told everybody here that Russell would cost Cable, Tollner & Hackett their jobs.
I still stand by that.
Might even add Hue Jackson to the list. we’ll see how OTA’s, camp & preseason goes first.
Al Davis is loyal to players – not coaches.

Where do you guys get the absurd idea that the O-Line had ANYTHING to do with DMAC’s weaknesses? Fargas and Bush did significantly better behind the same line.

Wasn’t Gallery, our best o-linemen injured at the beginning of the year and he didn’t come back until McFadden was injured? And didn’t Fargas get more runs once Garbagekowski took over for JaWalrus? Don’t you think decent QB play (for us) and Gallery coming back made a difference?
In 2008 when the players played behind the same line, McFadden averaged 4.4 ypc and had 4 TDs compared to Fargas’ 3.9 ypc and 1 TD.

February 1st, 2010 at 12:50 pm
And for the record my buddy LOVES Jamarcus. Says he is the coolest dude, gets along with everybody, kind of funny, not full of himself at all, polite to everybody (true southerner) and the proverbial jolly fat guy when wasted.
Just a kid. He was telling how he has this massive house, with empty rooms and nowhere near enough furniture. He brings the fellas over, and they don’t have enough furniture in the kitchen, so these guys are just massive dudes (and millionaires), LAYING ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR, playing dice for 5K a pop, rotating in getting tatted.
The guy is enjoying life and as long as he stays on the right side of the law, I really can’t hate on him. I just don’t want him as the QB of my favorite team.

Al Davis isn’t loyal to his players, either. He’s loyal to certain players. And, most of them suck.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:05 pm
If Al Davis really were loyal to his players, like his worshipers think he is, we’d be a better team. He’d listen to his players more. He’d listen to his good players, like Sapp and Gannon.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:06 pm
Jerry Jones is more loyal to his players than Davis is. Davis is just past his time. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. It’s entertaining to watch you guys mythologize him, though, and try to spin his demented behavior into some sort of genius. The results throw a monkey wrench into your whole agenda.

true enough.
he kept Porter over Shell.
then let go of Moss at Kiffin’s request.
wow. could Al have been more wrong? haha
February 1st, 2010 at 1:11 pm
I don’t understand on why Al insists on still being so involved at his age.
He should be smart enough to know, that if he were to let everybody else do all the work, with his resume, he can still take all the credit for any success. If the team stinks, blame it on them, and change management structure.
Instead he just blames the coaches that he actually hired, usually on his sole recommendation, in some type of weird tail chasing the dog scenario.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:13 pm
Moss couldn’t do anything here anyway. The problems Kiffin INHERITED couldn’t be fixed with one player. Kiffin had to change the entire culture here and Moss just had to go. Anyhow, Davis is not loyal to players. If he were, he would listen to his players. How loyal was Davis to his players when he changed the entire defensive gameplan that the players wanted, the incident Sapp talked about? Real players’ owner… yeh. Give me a break.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:16 pm
You can only lay down the law to someone when they either care, or there is a consequence.
Kiffin called out JR for being vertically challenged. As did Cable.
JR’s response?
“I feel good with where I’m at. I know I’m the future. Pass the chips”
February 1st, 2010 at 1:17 pm
The truth is, Vegas, Al really won’t get credit for the success. It’s gotten to the point now where the media, and fans in general, will always credit someone underneath Al if the Raiders start to win. That’s what happens when you suck for 7 straight years. That’s what happened with Gruden…Al basically just disappeared into irrelevancy. That’s why Al got rid of him. That’s the sole reason.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Hopefully Hue Jackson is like Samuel Jackson. He will lay down the law for Jamarcus.
***
Albert, when is the last time a coach in Oakland had the authority to “lay down the law” to a player?
Players just go straight over the HC’s head and walk into Al’s office for a chat.
Davis doesn’t care about work ethic, conditioning, what players do in the offseason or even off the field during the regular season. doesn’t believe in chemistry. puts a high premium on speed. you can teach football, but you can’t teach speed. LOL
I can see Hue walking into Al’s office right now.
Jackson: AL! JaMarcus missed our last meeting and it’s gameday. where is he?
Davis: who cares? did we win? how many TD’s did he throw?
Jackson: the game hasn’t been played yet. can we roll with another QB?
Davis: if he’s here for the coin flip, he’s in. I don’t care if he’s drunk. If he’s here, he’ll play. We need him to throw the ball downfield.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:19 pm
When Gruden said, “If me and Rich can turn this place around, it will be our legacy”. He left one name out. And that’s why he’s gone.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:19 pm
I just can’t believe Al LET it get to this point. Because your right, if Al hires some young sharp guy to be a GM and they start to win, you know who is going to get the credit. It won’t be the 80 year old guy.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:20 pm
For those of you who think Jackson will lay down the law: The last coach Al hired to lay down the law was Art Shell. So, yeh, it might happen…
February 1st, 2010 at 1:21 pm

February 1st, 2010 at 1:25 pm
Al thinks he can buy loyalty and performance.
In Al’s mind, once he signs the check, he believes the player should now give him everything, above and beyond. to perform as they never have before, because he’s “AL”.
No doubt he has the clips blown up, and on his wall, on those players that gave “one more for the geezer”, believing that it was him, and him alone, that willed them to step up and perform.
He still lives in that little fantasy..throwing stupid money, believing Hall and Aso would now be the most feared tandem in the league, that Javon would magically repair his mangled knee and be an All Star, that Kwame would morph from the worst to first..all because it’s “The Al”.
And when the above didn’t do as expected? Hall…cut during season…Javon mysteriously benched.
Al doesn’t think he overpaid. He believes they under-performed.
The cycle continues…

Albert if you think Jackson’s going to motivate Russell by basically being Al’s house negro, it’s not going to happen. He wouldn’t the the first of his kind to try to “lay down the law” on JaMarcus. JaMarcus knows who calls the shots in Oakland, and it aint this offensive coordinator Al just hired. What your hoping will happen only works on people form the suburbs. Ryan Leaf could have used that.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:32 pm
Hue Jackson probably went into Al Davis’ office and told it like it is, and how its going to be.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Russell will laugh at Jackson if he yells at him. What will Jackson do about it? If Jackson really did try to “put his foot up Russell’s a**”, as you guys put it, Russell and his crew would wait for him in the parking lot and jump him.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Then Jackson was putting Davis on to get a job. Jackson knows better than to disrespect Russell. It will only go bad.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Vegas, is this your friend whose been hanging out with Russel: http://www.freewebs.com/gube_site/fat-black-guy_sm.jpg
February 1st, 2010 at 1:35 pm
And, none of the players would back Jackson up if he got into it with Russell and his friends. An NFL player can get shot. They know the order. They’d stay out of it, and just play mums the word with the press.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Why does anyone assume Hue is going to magically convert JR, or the offense?
In his two stints with Wa and At Hue was 4-12, and 5-11.
What part of that makes many of you think this hire is going to light a fire under anyone’s ass?
He’ll come in, and do his job.
Some players will respond. Some won’t. Some will want to get better. Some could care less.
Hell, I suspect Hue will do what he SHOULD DO, and what all coaches should do..which is expect players to do as they’re trained.
And then spend your energy where it gets the best results.
Given the chance, Grad will leap frog past JR, and Hue will easily recognize that.
Cable already knows that.
And by the end of training camp, I suspect even Al will.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:36 pm
From Rotoworld.com
Raiders CB Nnamdi Asomugha said at the Pro Bowl that he wants to play for the Jets and has discussed the idea with coach Rex Ryan.
This would constitute tampering. “Me and (Darrelle) Revis have been talking to Rex to try to do something,” Asomugha said. “You may see us in the future. There’s a little bit of talk going on.” Asomugha signed the richest contract for a defensive player in NFL history last year and isn’t going anywhere. Ryan may still have to answer to the league about the two’s alleged “talks.”
February 1st, 2010 at 1:37 pm

Hey, RMR..weren’t you in an exchange with Br ian, where he was talking about him using H? Down south, LA area?
February 1st, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Jackson isn’t going to do anything to JaMarcus. Might do some “HNIC” type of yelling at Russell, where Russell will just laugh at him. Think Russell hasn’t seen this before? Al probably tried to get Willie Brown to do the same thing to Russell last year. If Al wants to motivate Russell he should either threaten to cut him, or just build a good team around him and bring in a real head coach, and create an environment where anything less than success if failure. At the end of the day, why should Russell, or anyone for that matter, try hard in Oakland? What’s the reward? Losing. Because you’re in a joke of a system. Al wants to save face with the drafting of Russell so his next desperate move is to bring in a black coach to yell at him? Wrong route. This will blow up in Al’s face, and could result in a violent altercation.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:41 pm
MR,
I actually liked the rehire of Art Shell and the reintroduction to discipline. His biggest mistake was the staff he brought along with him.
Tom Walsh as OC/play caller?

Walsh is back flippin pancakes
Slater is now an assistant offensive line coach for Saddleback Community College
Eatman works for all american football camps

Reduce unemployment benefits, and put in subsidies to attend community college and increase the Pelle Grant. That’s the right thing to do longterm, but we need a stimulus because we need to get re-elected.

Jackson will probably motivate Russell the same way that Shell motivated Porter if Jackson is a disciplinarian …
WR Jerry Porter was been suspended by head coach Art Shell for four games for conduct detrimental to the team (reduced to 2 games by the NFLPA)

The good thing about the politics of our day is that Republicans are finally accepting the fact that the job market plays a role in poverty. Of course, they don’t really believe that, they really think people in the unemployment lines are bums. They’re just doing it to spite Obama. But we’ve got them on the right page, at least. That’s change. Count it.
^^^^^^^^^
Yep….poor little evil greedy Republicans and their GOP can’t make as much money as they want to.
Poor little babies huh?
Unreal….

Rockstar, just get it through your head..Jackson is not going to motivate Russell, rather he’s a disciplinarian or a pacifist. Russell will laugh at him, either way. The only person who’s going to motivate Russell is Dr. Frankenstein himself, who created him.

Obama’s shifting our government to taking a concern for unemployment, and accepting that as a pivotal reason for poverty and other ills. Of course, Republicans are only focusing on unemployment to spite Obama, but the result is that they’re concerned about it, and we now have a government more concerned with poverty than any government we’ve had probably since the New Deal. Huge. Talk about swinging things the other way from the Reagan era, where the belief was that if you’re unemployed, it’s your fault.

Albert, I’ve gotta say that link you posted to the picture of the overweight black fella was HILARIOUS!
I totally get it – the joke is Jamarcus would be hanging out with a goofy overweight loser, much like himself, right? Man, that’s comedy gold!
And the fact the fat guy had his tongue sticking out was like the cherry on the sundae of hilarity. Whenever I see an overweight individual stick his tongue out I’m instantly in stitches.
Anyway, keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to your next successful foray into the comedy field with great anticipation!
Baja Rules!

If Jabust and DHB start next year the attendance at the Raiders games will be worse than it was this year. I cannot believe the organization and fans think these guys can play in the NFL. THESE PLAYERS ARE BRUTAL!!! The Raiders need to address the 0-line and D-line in the draft and free agency. Knowing what Al likes, I would not be surprised to see the Raiders draft a corner in the first round and another crappy wr in the second. I just hope the front office can get it right this year. For those of you who defend DHB, the guy cannot catch. If you watch any old film on the guy he makes it look so difficult to catch a football.
0-line and D-line are the biggest needs…

Martz + Cutler = dysfunction
I wish dungver would have hired Martz as OC while Cutler was there instead.

When presidential elections are about the economy, Democrats always win. As much as Republicans try to bash Obama over the economy, as long as they’re talking about the economy, it helps Obama’s reelection.

Richochet, I’m basing the race assumption on the comments in here. When Kiffin was hired, nobody was suggesting that he was hired to motivate the white players. But people are in here suggesting that Davis hired Jackson because he’s black, to motivate Russell. I’m responding to them. Pay attention, moron.
======================
Bull****..YOUR ignorant ass made the following comment:

Rockstar, let it go. Shell’s hiring was a joke. The whole concept was a joke. It’s proof Al’s living in another time. Al really thought Shell would motivate his black players, same retarded concept he’s using with Jackson right now.”
==========================
Don’t back track like the little beyotch you are, and say it applies to something someone said in the past..that YOU’RE RESPONDING TO THEM..YOUR RACIST ASS SAID IT.
Being stupid is one thing. No reason to keep perfecting it.
