How will Raiders approach RFA tenders?
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, February 15th, 2010 at 2:31 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders have until March 4 to tender those who are among the 212 players who found their status as unrestricted free agents reduced to restricted free agency in the absence of a collective bargaining agreement.
With the franchise and transition tags available for unrestricted free agents Richard Seymour and Sebastian Janikowski, plus the various tender levels the Raiders are in the position of being able to keep every player they deem necessary for future success. The only way any player of substance gets away is if the Raiders allow it to happen.
With that in mind, free agency will serve as a referendum on which players disappointed in 2009 to the level where they’re no longer a part of whatever plan is devised by Al Davis to stem the seven-year tidal wave of 11 or more losses per season.
Oakland’s list of restricted free agents:
(*-players who were originally scheduled to be unrestricted)
– LB Jon Alston* ended was placed on injured reserve with at least two concussions. Originally a third-round draft pick by St. Louis in 2006, the Raiders can keep him for $1.176 million or receive a third-round pick as compensation should another team sign him. Or they can fail to tender him, allow him to test the open market and bring him back for no compensation at all.
– T Khalif Barnes* was a non-factor after sustaining a broken ankle in training camp. By season’s end he was behind Langston Walker and never mounted a threat as a tackle on the left or right side.
A second-round draft pick by Jacksonville in 2005, Barnes is unlikely to receive a tender for the $1.849 million salary. If the Raiders tender him, they’re keeping him, because no team is parting with a second-round pick for Barnes after a poor 2008 and an invisible 2009.
– LB Ricky Brown* was an free agent who received a surprise second-round tender last season which paid him $1.7 million last season and ended up on injured reserve for the second straight year. He’s rehabbing at API in Los Angeles and hopes to return. Chances are he won’t be tendered this season, but could return after a stint testing a difficult market.
– QB Charlie Frye* ended the season as the Raiders starter and was lauded for his work ethic and involvement in game plans. The wild card this year is offensive coordinator Hue Jackson and where he stands on the quarterbacks after JaMarcus Russell, assuming Russell is being given a chance to turn things around. Frye was a fourth-round pick whose original draft pick is $1.226 million.
If the Raiders want to make sure no team makes an offer to Frye, they could give him a second-round tender at $1.849 million. But that’s backup money, not No. 3 money.
– QB Bruce Gradkowski directed come-from-behind victories against Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. What modest success the Raiders had on offense in 2009, it came with Gradkowski at quarterback. He said following the season and to the Toledo Blade on Super Bowl Sunday he wants to return to Oakland and is optimistic of competing for and winning the starting job.
A second-round draft pick tender would bring Gradkowski $1.759 million _ or the Raiders could simply lock him up for similar money over two seasons.
– LB Thomas Howard* is one of the NFL’s fastest linebackers and good in pass coverage. He switched to the strong side late in the season, but he’s been on the field an awful lot since coming in as a second-round draft pick in 2006 and the Raider have struggled against the run during that time. A second-round tender for a four-year veteran is $1.759 million.
Interesting to see if another team considers Howard worth a No. 2, and if the Raiders would match a contract offer or take the draft pick.
– C-G Chris Morris, like Gradkowski, would have been a restricted free agent anyway this season because he hasn’t accrued four years in the active roster.
Assuming the Raiders retain the zone blocking system, Morris can be retained for $1.101 million as a reserve at center and guard. If signed by another team, the Raiders could either match or receive a seventh-round draft pick as compensation.
– LB Kirk Morrison* is the most interesting of the RFAs because he’s led the team in tackles five years running, wears his Raiders shield proudly and is a home grown product. We’ll have a good idea if the Raiders think Morrison is part of the problem with regard to run defense depending on how the offseason plays out.
If the Raiders are convinced Morrison is their middle linebacker, they could give him a first and third-round tender, pay him $3.268 million and the compensation level would ensure no one else would sign him. He’d also be safe with a first-round tender at $2.621 million. The second-round tender is $1.849 million, with an outside chance a team might make an an offer which the Raiders could match or receive a No. 2.
The original draft pick tender for a player of five years experience is $1.226 million, which would bring the Raiders a third-round pick should a team make an offer and Oakalnd decline to match.
– CB Stanford Routt* was drafted in the second round in 2005, has a track athlete’s speed and the kind of height and long arms Davis loves. But Routt was bypassed by Chris Johnson last year when DeAngelo Hall flopped opposite Nnamdi Asomugha and remains no better than a third corner on the Raiders. Assuming Routt is tendered, the Raiders would be more than happy to take a another shot at a second-round pick if someone were to sign him.
– RB Gary Russell ended up as an undersized fullback who started when Oakland’s other players were lost to injury (Lorenzo Neal, Oren O’Neal) or suspension (Luke Lawton). He can be retained for $1.1 million and as an undrafted player, brings no compensation if signed and the Raiders decline to match.

Not a lot to keep on that list other than Grads, Morrison, Morris and Gary Russell. Rebuild the LB corp, and keep Morrison until someone supplants him.
February 15th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
A second-round draft pick by Jacksonville in 2005, Barnes is unlikely to receive a tender for the $1.849 million salary.

Got that right!
2 million? If he gets tendered, Henderson is out at LT or we are not drafting a OT at 8.
2 million???? Damn!

someone I consider a legit source said both kirk morrison and nhambdi are gay,..and I believe it…there no more feminine player in the nfl then nhammdi…just sayin….that being known, get rid of them both….one is big time overrated, the other one is plain awful.
February 15th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
I’d do the 2nd rd tender for Morrison!

great post Jerry.
RFA’s to make tender offers to: Gradkowski, Condo, Howard, Morrison & Routt
Jerry Mac forgot about our Pro Bowl long snapper!
February 15th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Frye instead of Grads!
Losman too!
February 15th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
if Al Davis weren’t the GM of 29-83, I wouldn’t have a problem with him.

yes you would Kell, because Eldridge Dickey got Wally Pipped!
February 15th, 2010 at 2:46 pm

Seymour Bush Says:
February 14th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
Considering he posted it WITHIN minutes, means either he sits there and refreshes..OVER AND OVER..waiting for me..or he has an alert set up, which is about as pathetic as you can get.
Now?? #579 I post…Seymour? NO WHERE TO BE FOUND..and there, immediately, he has posted..
Are you FREAKING SERIOUS? LOL…HOLY S**t..THIS SORRY PATHETIC FOOL has an alert set up for my name????
wow.
I have NEVER had anyone as that pathetic as seymourGlen, following me around, ever.
My own puppy…how sweet is that?=

Missed your reply on why you have an ALERT set up, just waiting for me?

The Pyschopathic Troll
The Psychopathic Troll is motivated to participate in an internet forum by psychotic delusions or compulsions, or by a neurotic seeking of false self-esteem. The postings of a psychotic troll are unlikely to make any recognizable sense at all. The neurotic troll either seeks to obtain false self esteem by manipulating the reactions of others, or by demonstrating his “power” to destroy what others enjoy. The nuerotic troll is often manipulative enough to make it past the initial moderation.

Speaking of silly posts…
Oakglenny?
YOU come on, on Valentines day, to make a silly comment about someone who posted…on Valentines day???
do you not see how stupid that makes you appear?
YOU come on, on a Friday night…and state “haha..you don’t have a date”..while YOU are posting on a Friday night.
After I state my wife’s out with friends, and wondered why YOU didn’t have a date? Yes, still LMFAO at you:
Oakglenn: “Oh..uh..I do. She’s really hot. I just left her to come post to you”
And YOU HONESTLY DON’T SEE HOW STUPID YOU SOUND??
Take your time…..no hurry……wait……no, not yet…..
wait…………
BINGO!!! LOL…you dumbass.

Oakglen again whenever/wherever I show…
Besides, I like laughing at Oakglen each time I repost his idiot comments, that he desperately wants to avoid..hoping no one sees them.
Me reposting them means I get to laugh at his pathetic diversion replies…kind of cheap entertainment, you might say.

You know fellas, if you don’t want idiot trolls to come on this site, you should not engage them. Most of you engage them, and when the site turns into stupid racist, foul BS, blame yourselves. Wack-o is a text book troll.
February 15th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
Reposting that silly reply doesn’t change the fact of my point, Oakglen.
You actually think others don’t view you as the same?
You’re the board troll..the original “two dozen handles” troll.
Already 3 other posters laughed at YOU, stating the irony of the biggest troll whining about others “trolling”.
YOU’VE CHANGED YOUR HANDLE OVER TWO DOZEN TIMES..you sorry mouse of a man…that’s because you end up as roadkill, under each and every name.
HELL..JUST LAST WEEK YOU ALREADY STATED “I don’t even know if I’m going to post anymore”..to that effect…THE EXACT SAME THING YOU DID AS OAKGLEN.
I’m just one of many who enjoys slapping you around, little boy.

8. Raiders: Jason Paul-Pierre, DE, USF
This time around, Al Davis’ obsession with upside and speed and whatnot doesn’t burn him. But only because someone in the front office put Super Glue on his wheelchair’s parking brake before he could make it to the draft room and demand they pull trigger on Dez Bryant. JPP does have all those factors, though, and he actually fills a need.

Regulars cross-post so they can say hateful things under anonymous names.
Lucifer666 admitted to being a cross-namer. Before registration they like to post under your or my names for instance.
No, there’s a reason why these blogs register.
February 15th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
8. Oakland Raiders : Jason Pierre-Paul – DE – South Florida
Only Al Davis and his shiny stop watch know who the Raiders will be selecting, but while Oakland’s needs would appear to be offensive line, that doesn’t mean they’ll adhere to anything logical. I’m thinking they go best athlete remaining on the board, and Al’s old overhead projector probably has Jason Pierre-Paul’s name on it.
February 15th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
old kell,..the other day a couple bloggers in here were discussing why someone, you, would post so much personal information on a blog…I must say, it is really crazy to be doing that,..why is it you feel the need to divulge some much pesonal info?…and to post pics of yourself and wife?????????????…ridiculous man,..maybe because your old, dont realize what youre doing,..clearly though old kell, not a great idea.
February 15th, 2010 at 3:28 pm

==================
Sad as it sounds, for some it makes perfect sense.
ALL SMACK ASIDE…It’s always those suffering from inferiority complex, or at least in most cases, it is.
Prior to most places requiring registration, was rampant in many places.
Someone would argue a point, then, when pressed, would crosspost, propping his alter handles point, agreeing on how “astute” and “sensible” that other poster was.
Perfect example?
On Bleachers report..was going on A LOT.
Posters got “points” for comments/replies, etc.
RaiderCardAddict was busted with doing just that, with dozens and dozens of handles that JUST posted on his threads, propped his comments, called out others for daring to disagree with him, while stupidly feeling compelled to post “GREAT POST, RCA” to himself, lol…all as he bragged about how many posts he had on his silly threads.
Oddly, after he was called out, his thread posts went from 60-80, down to 5-10, just that fast.
that’s what OakGlen did, prior to getting busted here, prior to registering. Would have conversations with himself, pat himself on the back, state how “stupid those other guys are for doubting Oakglen”..until he got busted, that is, lol.
Now? When he feels ganged up on, or feels he’s dug too deep a hole, he changes his name..or..as many know, he’ll pop up under a different name to attack the same people..
HEY??? Where’s CaptainBlack? lol
Odd he disappeared the DAY I STATED HE WAS OAKGLEN…isn’t it, ..I mean…wow..what a coincidence???
HEY??? SeymoronGlen…what say you bring back Cappy for an appearance???
February 15th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Part of the point Kell is we now have registration. It still happens even with registration? Didn’t think it did. But I guess if guys can find a way back in after being banned, I guess they can do what you say.
Hilarious!
February 15th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
or is there some other reason you feel the need to post personal information old kell?

They can still cross-post, but they CAN’T use YOUR name.

But you seem as bitter and frazzled as always! I’m hoping you have a relaxing barber shop visit scheduled soon, you always seem much calmer after your old head has been dunked a few dozen times in the comb sanitizer jar.
Anyway, we’ve got a beautiful week ahead of sweet sunshine, awesome surf, beautiful babes and penthouse parties.

Besides your soggy old bowels, what do you think is the main reason for your constant explosive pant crapping?
That’s right, you silly old freak – excitement. That’s why you’re on constant bed rest and taking medication for your delusions of world travel.

That’s pretty kick butt of you to invite Krappy to your tailgate, Bob.
But aren’t you worried about the old goat getting loaded on margaritas and trying to pick fights with all of your friends?
Can’t you see him now, wobbling around the parking lot, pants unknowingly around his ankles, posing like one of those boxers from the 1920s?
And what do you plan on cooking at your tailgate? Because anything that’s not applesauce or non fat milk will cause him to crap his blue jeans right at kick off.
I’d just hate to see you lose your season tickets – and friends – because of the old goof’s behavior.
February 15th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
You actually read anything Beech says, Bobbo?
Why?
He has admitted he suffers from copromania, which is an obsession with feces.
He actually gets off posting what he just posted above..odd that it may be…all part of his disorder.
For obvious reason, he has very few visitors…or so I’ve heard.
February 15th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
He seems to have old kell pegged pretty good though.
February 15th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
I would do 2nd round tenders for…
Morrison, Howard and Gradkowski.
I’d take my chances letting the others hit the market. We can still sign other linebackers to compete with Morrison and Howard.
February 15th, 2010 at 4:34 pm

Hey, its that little dude Ricochet! Still walking on pins and needles these days, trying his very best to become one of my minions.
I have to admit, I do thinks its cute how he’s always trying to impress me and serve me, like the way a little kid will try and throw a football real far to get a pat on the back from his cool uncle.
But keep it up, little guy – I’m pulling for you, even though we all know you achieving minion status beneath me is a long shot.
Norco, i think the pork n beans idea could easily turn out deadly. You don’t want to be responsible for Krappy’s demise.
On the other hand, it could invigorate the wacky old fossil into dancing his brains out to no music in the parking lot for everyone’s amusement.
Big chance to take, though.
February 15th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
I might extend a tender for Thomas Howard.
The rest of those guys can go on the free market.
Raiders need to go free agency and spend some coin on a Middle Linebacker (Ruud, Dansby, Ryans, Urlacher) and be willing to give up draft pick
The Raiders need a veteran at the MLB position. The Raiders wacky schemes and poor overall coaching and lack of ability to develop talent necessitates finding an MLB that already knows how to play and can play in difficult situations.
Then I use the #8 pick on Dan Williams (DT) Tennessee.
Of course none of that will happen.
Get out your stop watch…..

It is the fastest players with the worst work ethics that we need dammit. Plenty of bling and look good gettin’ off da bus. Thas it. Nada mas.
All those other teams with their stupid schemes and asinine philosophies like “togetherness” and “cohesiveness” – screw that! Da Raiduhs don’ need a damnable bit o’ dat.
Be on time. Scratch that one.
Pay attention. Wha?
Play like hell on Sundays. At least sometimes.
All we need is lip service to Da Greatness a Da Raiduhs. Everything else is folly.

Oh I hear ya and I’m the same way. As a fan I don’t accept losing and incompetence. The last 7 years has shown us that is exactly what has happened to this franchise the last 7 years with Al Davis mismanagement and bad decision making.
But some of these possessed Al Davis worshipers act like the old man has lead this organization and team to a Super Bowl title the last 7 years.
He has run this once proud organization and team into the ground and I can’t stand it. Especially when it won’t take that much to turn it around, but the old man doesn’t really want to turn it around because he is still making all the screwed up decisions. Ugh….

If defense is the pick, I think I agree with moving Seymour inside and drafting a guy like Morgan or Pierr-Paul to add a legit pass rush from the DE position.
Dan Morgan round 1 and Lamar Houston Rd 2.

Who is “we”. “We” is a lot of people…..and it has been proven with all the blackouts that a lot of people don’t show up to the games because what Al Davis has done or not done is more like it.
You know what still agitates me the most. Is the old man is one of the few NFL owners who doesn’t allow open to the public practices during training camp.
Even season ticket holders do not get a sniff of training camp practices unless you have been a season ticket holder since the 70’s…..and even then that season ticket holder would get to see 1 practice a year! LOL

Morgan or Pierre-Paul in Round 1 to be the starting full time RDE, and DT Lamar Houston in Round 2.

February 15th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
I wouldn’t move Seymour back inside. Until the scheme or linebacking or coaching…or whatever it is the problem can understand how to play, coach scheme run defense….Seymour stays outside.
We need a big nasty DT that plugs the holes and forces the back outside or two run into the back of his O-Lineman.
Then you let the linebackers…chaired by a veteran who can play on his own and see the field to clean everything up, fly around the field and make plays at or behind the line of scrimmage.
Next to wide receiver and defensive backs…I am not sure I want to see Al Davis drafting speedy DEs either. They will probably be undersized and have to move to Linebacker.
Let’s just fix the run defense….or at least get it to average…..Vet MLB that is a top tier player….and Dan Williams at #8. Plus this will make Tommy Kelly a little better if Williams can attract those double teams……

John Marshall really simplified the scheme for them early in the season and they still had a hard time executing it a crunch time. In the NFL you have to keep changing things up and in midseason Marshall started changing some things, bringing in different blitzes and it was for a while effective. Trying to make this defense fundamentally sound, would be a very good start. I don’t think we are there yet.

Maybe a DE in the draft but frankly with Seymour, Scott and even Shaughnessy improving it doesn’t seem like a real need.
Scott standing up looked good at the end of the year too.
February 15th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
The thing is Nnamdi, my posts are correct. Or would you take issue with anything factually I’ve said?
Be my guest.
February 15th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
JHill,
Davis brought Seymour in to help lockdown the outside after watching Trevor Scott and company get lit up on the outside.
I personally think the problems with the pass rush have more to do with the Defensive Coordinator having more “confidence” to call the game as he sees fit. You know, blitzes, different looks etc..
I would be fine sacrificing sacks to get more run defense…force the opponent to have to throw the ball to our secondary on 3rd and long. Give me big Dan Williams and have him lineup next to Kelly. Might help Kelly out.
Again, the Raiders and speedy specimens don’t work out to well. Time to go with the less exciting pick
February 15th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
Seymour doesn’t provide any speed from the outside. Moving him inside? Might be time in order to get the most out of him.
Do you feel that he won’t command a double team from the DT position? Do you think he won’t be able to hold the point of attack at DT?
Shaugnessy and one of the rookies starting at DE would add a lot of pressure to the LOS and we wouldn’t have to rely on the blitz to get pressure.
February 15th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
Nnamdi
Your mindless draft drivel is not the answer to what ails the Raiders.
Al Davis 29-83 putting together next year’s roster is insane. And, your endless speculation about Al Davis’ draft picks is delusional.
Nothing changes until Davis retires, completely.
3 winning seasons in the last 15. Those 3 came in spite of Al Davis.
February 15th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Seymour holds the point on the outside. Something this team has not been able to do in years.
I would rather roll with a rookie inside than outside. Another speed rusher in Oakland? I don’t know about that.
February 15th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Bet your bottom dollar Davis will figure out a way to insert himself between Hue Jackson and his job.

All of this cost Jason Richardson a lot of his playing time, but when he was in there he was pretty productive. I really don’t feel defensive end is a need at this point. LB, OL, CB are.
February 15th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
I can see them placing tenders on Morrison, Howard Routt and Morris.
If any team bites on them, they should be willing to take a draft pick in exchange.
February 15th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
Al Davis hangs his Head Coach out there to spite the media.
More counterproductive nonsense.
February 15th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
Plus, I think Seymour is capable of getting 5 or 6 sacks on the outside…
I am almost all against speed at this point JHill…..Can’t we find some speed guy in later rounds? Too much speed and not enough bulk has left this team a soft touch.
We need more big guys that make it difficult on opposing offensive lineman.
February 15th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
I agree Seymour should stay outside primarily to hold the edge.
February 15th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Seymour Bush,
I would really want to see the Raiders go free agency for that MLB. The Raiders just need someone that can already play the game at a high level and can be a leader on defense. I don’t think on-the-job training will work for the MLB in Oakland.
You know the Raiders won’t try to protect a rookie..and will throw him out there. If Warren and Kelly are still upfront………look for more Guards, Centers and Fullbacks with clean shots on the linebacker.
Get a big time vet to come in there and be done with that position.
A vet MLB, a beefed up interior and Seymour manning the edge should get the run defense to average.
A level this team hasn’t seen in 7 or 8 years

I think moving Seymour would just put us back to training camp last year….when the 49ers smashed the Raiders so bad that Davis had to do something.

Also, notice that all those players up for free agency and hardly a 1 might be kept. Those Al Davis drafts have been downright awful

A rookie will suffer mightily in Oakland. The raider scheme won’t afford him any protection, our D-Line won’t keep him clean and let’s just face it…the Raiders haven’t done all too well with younger players.

I basically agree with your statements, but what I think the issue is we are not getting our LB’s to shed or to stack their assignments, which means the 2ndary has to come up and make the play, and once they don’t, the play goes for big yardage. I put a bunch of this on the LB corp. They don’t seem to be able to either read the play fast enough, shed blockers or send the play back to where more support is.

Yes. Some of the free agent or RFA MLBs already know how to play NFL football at a high level.
And I will say this again. Linebackers don’t mean jack until the D-Line starts doing its job. A rookie behind Kelly and Warren will be on 1 way ticket to bustville.
Jarrod Mayo playing behind Vince Wilfork….and Willis is coached by Mike Singletary.
We lack in both areas. Get a veteran and fix the lines

Seymour Bush,
Go get Ruud, Dansby or Ryans or even Urlacher or Pierce…Put the dollars on the table…make this one position the position they spend the money in free agency.
======================================
Dansby is an OLB. Ruud is a good solid choice, Ryans is fairly solid, Urlacher is 10 years in, and Pierce is about 10 years is. 10 years for a MLB is about it. Ruud is actually a good choice. Smart, high motor guy. The question is, is he a better player than Kirk?
February 15th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
I beleive the Raiders could put tenders on the LB’s, then wait until after the draft before deciding whether or not to sign them.
That way, they could keep Morrison in the bag and see if they want to draft McLain.
I believe they have 48 hours (?) to respond if another team offers them a deal.
February 15th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
I think the Raiders should suit up Krappy Kell’s husband. At least it would scare the other team.

If the Raiders don’t go defense…I am hoping they go offensive line. Go Tackle
I am not so concerned with those guys being in their 10th years. We just need them to perform for a couple…like Ellis and Seymour.
This team just has to get back to decent and right now the youngsters are just not getting traction here or developing on a pace that is fast enough.
On defense, only Nnamdi and possibly Scott have really developed into good contributors.. The rest underperformed or are still question marks.
Getting solid play at a few key positions is the key right now.

The Raiders won’t get good linebacking play until they get good play upfront. Not serviceable play…but good to excellent play.

Pierre Paul and Morgan are the consensus top DEs on the board. No mention of them being 3-4 LBs.
Seymour is a big nasty that will eat up two blockers and hold the point of attack.
^^^^^^^^^
Yeah a play making and strong RDE is needed at some point who can get to the QB and hold the edge. Seymour is 6′6, 310, thats’ DT size and he is not fast or athletic enough to be a consistent disruptor as a full time RDE. His true value is at the DT position 80-90% of the time and the rest of the time as a RDE in certain situations IMO.
I would accept going D Williams at #8 and then a RDE like Claude Wooten in Round 2 or a beast LB like Weatherspoon in Round 2.
Or go RDE’s Morgan or Pierre-Paul in Round 1 or DT Lamar Houston in Round 2 or a LB like Weatherspoon in Round 2.

I doubt you could get a ticket for a free meal at Glide. Let alone Raider games.
February 15th, 2010 at 8:30 pm
Lefty12,
Offensively its about getting a RT and RG. As for QB, Al Davis is sticking with JaDavis. The receivers? Schilens, Murphy should be your starters. Running back…Michael Bush should get 15+ and DMAC needs to be used with more intelligence….A fullback is helpful. But other than maybe a RT, I don’t think you use a 1st round pick on the offense. The players Davis drafted highly have to play better.
Anyway, when the offense is struggling, running the ball and playing excellent defense leads to a competitive team. The Raider defense is soft up the middle, can’t stop the run and gets overpowered against physical teams. This has to stop
February 15th, 2010 at 8:30 pm

henderson was better than alot of u give him credit for. we have a ton of young players playing all at once so we have to get use to the growing pains. the right side of the line is a bigger issue. we need speed on the outside on the dline. 4 sacks doesnt cut it. ive been saying for a while to move sey where kelly is and tell tk to hit the road. d morgan or b graham are the 2 de’s i like the most. especially graham.
February 15th, 2010 at 8:37 pm
Armond I saw it reported the other day that Gradkowski was the top rated QB this past year of all the QBs drafted the same year he was.I know you are in the Russell camp and I refuse to rehash the QB position again.The thing that bothers me is he set records in college(in a passing conference no less),he is at the point in his professional career(entering his 5th year) where you can see if he is a decent player yet people on here give the guy no credit.

February 15th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
Henderson was ok last year but faded towards the end. Armond, you are right about the right side of the line. Carlisle is out of gas and Green is a backup at best. The running game needs to bulk up front.
Defensively, I agree with you about moving Seymour to TK’s job…but that ain’t happening. I am also concerned with what happens if Seymour moves inside. Remember last summer. Will a rookie that is known more for pass rush than run defense be able to handle things given the Raider scheme?
I say take Dan Williams at #8 and leave Seymour outside for now. Maybe Shaughnessy develops into a player that can play the run and the pass…then you move Seymour inside…not before one of the younger players can prove they can play the run on the outside.
Teams intentionally run the ball and wait for our team to breakdown. We have to fix this run problem.

lefty i would be more impressed if there werent as many missed plays by the defense on his soft tosses out there. he also wasnt as accurate as people say he was. now he was better than russell and HE made the team play faster. if the damn oline held up we couldve seen much more of him. it would also help if the damn d would force more to’s. i like grads passion to play and the fact he embraces being one of us openly. i dont believe he is more talented but he is enuff to atleast compete for the job. russ has to get his butt on track to give yall a reason to believe in him. this arizona stuff is a good start so we will see where he takes it there.

Henderson was acceptable as long as Gallery was healthy.Once Gallery was lost,Henderson’s play deteriorated.If we would build our Oline allowing whoever is the QB to function,allowing our running game to flourish,our def. would be better than avg as is.Didn’t anyone notice when Gradkowski was playing and moving the ball and scoring points our Def. didn’t look so bad?They weren’t great,but if you can put points on the board,your Def. doesn’t have to be great-just look at the last couple match-ups in the SB.

Lefty12,
Defense still gave up 150 yds on the ground to Cincy….and over 100 and 24 pts to Pittsburgh. Dallas smashed the Raiders.
There isn’t really any positions on offense worth giving up that 1st round pick. Maybe LT/RT, but the rest is up to the players playing better to justify draft status.
Defense needs a big DT and MLB in a bad way. Those two positions have been bad for years…not even serviceable
February 15th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
One has to wonder how much better our run Def. would be if we made it so teams couldn’t focus on the run against us,you know like if we were to get ahead by 10 points or more instead of being down by 10 or more points before the end of the 1st qtr.

Of course, we could “protect” a pass challenged offense with a defense that gets the ball back to the offense and gives them the maximum opportunities to score and keep the score close.

Lefty12,
The issue is coaching, playcalling and scheme. AGain, if they go LT in the 1st round…that would be fine with me. But other than that, the players have to play better..they were drafted in the top 10 to perform as top 10 players. Plus Zach Miller, Michael Bush and Louis Murphy have outperformed their draft status. Hue Jackson should be able to make improvements…but we also have to hope JaDavis is motivated and ready to play…because he’s the starter.
Defenses are generally easier to fix than offenses. With JaDavis, Gradkowski and Frye…I am not sure your vision of a high powered offense is ever coming true. But strong defense can be built with upgrades up the middle.

I think when im your age, in 30 years, I will not be such a jealous old man,..I think I will be upbeat,..not the bitter, angry, fat, old, ugly baffoon you are,..I will pray for you old kell.
February 15th, 2010 at 9:13 pm

oh krappy, you sure are reaching a new level or kookiness tonight!
so you see yourself kind of like the arsenio hall of the raider blog?

Remember, you said in your previous post “blog personalities”. You can’t change it now Krappy and hope we don’t notice.

Krappy, being the world’s first “blog personality”, you need to hire a PR guy to promote you.
I’m not sure how much of a fan base there will be for an old, bitter, pant crapping, delusional old freak, but you gotta try!
Oh Krappy, this meltdown is one for the ages! Flame out, old dude!

Krappy, in all honesty, I’m having a great time watching you melt down in all your wacky old glory.
But you are my pal, and I’m starting to feel bad. Maybe you should hose yourself off, drink some chocolate milk and call it a night before it gets any worse.

Good to see Lefty12 standing up for Bruce Gradkowski.
Never has winning games and wanting to be a Raider meant so little to Raider Nation than the case of Bruce Gradkowski.
Even though it was a small sampling, some comments ask to re-sign Frye and let Bruce walk.

Man, what a disgrace in here last night…
I would not tender any of the players on Jerry’s list, with the exception of Howard and I’d still be happy with the pick if we lost him. Dump Barnes, Morris and Alston. Keep any of the others if cheap, and only as backups.
February 16th, 2010 at 6:53 am
be back later fellas. gotta run to the other building
February 16th, 2010 at 6:54 am
Morning Raider Nation.
Guess the people in the L.A. Stadium project are getting great response. Ed Roski’s right hand man Semcken said fan interest is high. He said his group has received 5,200 requests for the 176 suits in the proposed stadium, 130,000 requests for the 12,500 club seats and 300,000 requests for the 58,000 general-admission seats. Sellouts mean all home games televised. Home 3-D in theatres.
Hmnn. Oakland, $150,000 stadium study. I hear trucks being hoarded in Alameda.
February 16th, 2010 at 7:00 am
Ooops, source was yahoo sports
February 16th, 2010 at 7:19 am
Bring back Grads, Howard, & Morris. Give Morrison the 2nd round tender and have the opportunity to match if price is reasonable. If we got a 2nd out of him that would allow us to likely take a tackle with #8 and package some picks to get back into the first and take Sean Weatherspoon.
February 16th, 2010 at 7:35 am
Any know if they are raising parking to $30.00 next year? Was offered parking pass for three hundred with our season tickets which wouls make it thrity a game. agree with mid on who we should offer a tender to.
February 16th, 2010 at 7:40 am
That would probably be right. I thought that last year was $30 until we pulled up to the gate! I really don’t know why they keep raising it. I don’t see any improvements!
February 16th, 2010 at 7:43 am
Good Morning Raider Nation!!
February 16th, 2010 at 7:45 am
What a rip-off. If anything there is way less porta-pissers.
February 16th, 2010 at 7:49 am
I know huh? Heck, there was one game this past year that they forgot to put the porta putties on the 880 side…that sucked!
February 16th, 2010 at 7:50 am
On that note…you all have a great day Nation!!!
February 16th, 2010 at 7:54 am
Can’t tell what kinda tender we would have to make to Routt but if it was low enough he probably wouldn’t be too bad to keep around for depth. Than if someone wants him we would get a 2nd. Don’t see anyone giving that up but for the right price would be worth keeping him around.
February 16th, 2010 at 7:57 am
UFA’s to sign: Seymour & Janikowski
RFA’s to make tender offers to: Gradkowski, Condo, Howard, Morrison & Routt
RFA’s to make long term deals with: none
February 16th, 2010 at 7:58 am
I would let guys like Frye, Losman and the ST studs (Alston, Brown, Williams) hit free agency and test the waters.
Let them know they can come back at the vet minimum to COMPETE for a roster spot.
I’m pretty sure nobody is gonna be banging down the door for their services
February 16th, 2010 at 8:06 am
Carlos Dansby, we should go after this guy. Sign him and move Morrison outside.
February 16th, 2010 at 8:07 am
Agreed Rockstar. Don’t think we can give offers to A,B,W. Let’s see what their market value is first.
I think that if Morrison is kept than we can scratch off a MLB from our list.
I would say draft A Davis @ #8 (assuming no trade down) and V Ducasse w/ 2nd rounder. Ducasse could be moved to guard since he’s still raw and Davis would be our right tackle and/or compete with Henderson at left. If not ducasse, I think Pouncey from FL should be there with our 2nd and that would also strengthen our O-line.
February 16th, 2010 at 8:09 am
A second-round draft pick tender would bring Gradkowski $1.759 million _ or the Raiders could simply lock him up for similar money over two seasons.
A second-round tender for Thomas Howard is $1.759 million.
a first-round tender for Kirk Morrison is at $2.621 million.
tender for Stanford Routt = $1.226 million.
LS Condo is a 4 year vet who just made the Pro Bowl. not sure what it would take to lock him up?
February 16th, 2010 at 8:12 am
We need better talent at LB, DT, and OL. We can’t win with guys like:
LB: Williams, Brown, Alston, Nixon, Scott, TH, and Kirk.
DT: TK, Warren, Bryant, and Joseph.
OL: Pears, Barnes, Walker, Moris, Satele
Most if those players would be unemployed if it wasn’t for Al.
Bring in Talent!!
February 16th, 2010 at 8:15 am
this team has way too many holes AS IS to worry about cutting guys that are at least adequate at doing thier jobs…
Cornell Green (RT), Cooper Carlisle (RG), Samson Satele (C) and Gerard Warren (NT) need to be replaced in the starting lineup.
build the lines and wins will come. you’ll be amazed at the difference a solid run stuffing beast makes on a DL. DE’s , LB’s and DB’s all benefit. especially our DC.
fix the O-Line = open running lanes and better pass protection
guys like Gradkowski, Morrison, Howard & Routt are serviceable for 1 more year while we fill much more critical needs.
February 16th, 2010 at 8:19 am
O – Don’t know if you can throw Scott in that list. He started playing real well in the SLB role. Give him some time and I think he could be a solution for that position. IMO need someone behind him when he lines up at end on passing downs.
February 16th, 2010 at 8:19 am
other important needs…
CB/KR: Bowie is gone. Holland is trash. Nick Miller & Yamon Figurs may not be the solution at KR. this could be solved by re-signing Justin Miller imo
FB: if Oren & Lorenzo are healthy and hungry, bring them back. If not, we have to grab a block-first hammerhead in Round 4-7. Russell, Lawton & Reece? awful!
February 16th, 2010 at 8:23 am
I think Scott will be good, but it took us 1.5 season to find him a position. He is also a better fit for a 3-4 defense. IMHO
February 16th, 2010 at 8:25 am
Jon Ritchie was drafted in Round 3.
something to think about …
I’d take him back right now at 35 years old. thats how good of a FB he was!
If we have to draft a FB as high as round 3 or 4 – so be it. throwing scrubs in front of McBush is an insult
February 16th, 2010 at 8:28 am
We can’t ignore our front 7 or OL any longer. We need to draft OT, DT, and LB.
We also need to find a blocking FB. I prefer a vet to help Bush and DMC since they are still young and developing.
February 16th, 2010 at 8:28 am
Need to draft FB from USC. Great blocker, also a weapon out of the backfield. Use second third on him.
February 16th, 2010 at 8:30 am
Trevor Scott has 12 sacks over the past 2 seasons.
not bad for a 6th rounder, who converted from TE to DE at Buffalo!
Raider O: Scott is a talented player. get over it!
haha
February 16th, 2010 at 8:34 am
What really kills me is the draft. We gamble a lot with our 1st RD pick. Washington, Huff, JR, DMC, and DHB are high risk & return guys due to their positions, and some due to their production ate college.
We need to draft OL, DT, and LB. Not as risky asthe other positions.
February 16th, 2010 at 8:37 am
LMAO
I like Scott, and I think he can contribute a lot to our D.
February 16th, 2010 at 8:37 am
Bring in Aaron Kampmann to play DE opposite Seymour…the guy is solid.
February 16th, 2010 at 8:39 am
Bring in Aaron Kampmann to play DE opposite Seymour…the guy is solid.
***
I’m a big fan of Kampman, but I don’t see it happening with Ellis & Shaughnessy on the roster. Plus I’m sure Scott will still line up at DE on occasion …
February 16th, 2010 at 8:40 am
Ryan Pickett would be another great pickup…
February 16th, 2010 at 8:41 am
Trade Randy Moss for Aaron Rodgers!
Too late! We traded him for a 4th RD pick! We traded a HOF in his prime for a 4th RD pick!
February 16th, 2010 at 8:42 am
BSJ, I think we should go after GB RFA’s Will Blackmon, Tramon Williams & Johnny Jolly …
just keep the codeine away from Jolly (and Bob!)
February 16th, 2010 at 8:43 am

February 16th, 2010 at 8:44 am
Raider O: we didn’t need Randy Moss in 2007. Lane Kiffin said so…
we had Jerry Porter, Ronald Curry, Mike Williams & Tim Dwight!
February 16th, 2010 at 8:52 am
why are Watkins & Miller on the roster?
might as well bring back Doug Gabriel & Alvis Whitted imo
Tim Brown wants to help. cut Javon and re-sign Brownie to be the “vet mentor” He may be 43 years old, but I bet he still has better hands than anybody on this team outside of Zach Miller!
February 16th, 2010 at 8:53 am
trade the walrus for johnnie morant or carlos francis!
February 16th, 2010 at 8:54 am
How big is Kampma? Does he play the run well, or is he more of a pass rusher. I know he played LB just wondering about his size.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:00 am
Just make Brown the WR coach.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:03 am
Kampman is great against the run. Played DE, with reports of his weight raning from 265 – 286.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:03 am
Seabass,..4 years, 16 mil, 9 in bonus,..per Adams tweet.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:07 am
Seabass just called me – he got his $$, stays a Raider.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:07 am
Bob, are you trying to 1-up Jerry Mac or what?
February 16th, 2010 at 9:09 am
Seabass is over at my place playing Madden. you guys want me to put him on? the polish cannon says “hello”
February 16th, 2010 at 9:09 am
Its a done deal, 4 years, 16 million.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:09 am
With no cap should pay whole bonus up front to lower cap hit next year.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:10 am
Jerry never gets anything before me actually,…and he doesnt try to either, getting stories first isnt a priority for him,…all good.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:10 am
$30 dollars to park this year or what.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:12 am
Yes it is, I already paid for my parking pass,..it went to 300 bucks,..no big deal though,..having a parking pass is worth it.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:12 am
It still costs more to park in the mud at candlestick.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:12 am
I guess thats how Al is going to pay Seabass.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:13 am
Agreed, we get the parking pass but just park on Raiders Blvd.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:13 am
Als a billionaire, that 16 million dollar deal is what he carries in his pocket.

February 16th, 2010 at 9:18 am
Dansby anyone? Don’t think the Cards will franchise him three times.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:20 am
Seabass not being named probowl PK was robbery,..easily the best kicker in the NFL,..easily,…put it this way, that choker in San Diego will NEVER make that kind of bread, because the Chargers know who is the better PK….Seabass is the man.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:21 am
Im glad hes 275 pounds,..if he went 270, he wouldnt have made that 61 yarder in Cleveland.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:21 am
Dansby has chosen four potential teams…we are not one of them. It would take a lot of extra cashe to close that deal.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:22 am
Karlos Dansby is going to get a long-term deal to stay in AZ. As a UFA (if they don’t tag him again) he’ll probably stay there unless another playoff team comes knockin’ at his door …
February 16th, 2010 at 9:22 am
I bought his jersey in 2000,..but after he screwed up the Niner game that year, I stowed it away,..hes now the best kicker hands down,..Iv heard the Steeler head cpach say we have the best punter and kicker in the NFL,..thats good enough for me. Word.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:23 am
Correction – Dansby now says he is not limited to four teams. That could mean Al just waved a big wad under his nose.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/16/dansby-says-he-doesnt-have-a-wish-list/
February 16th, 2010 at 9:24 am
Dansby just said he doesnt have a wish list of teams,..per PFT.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:24 am
Got me Bo,..you da man.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:25 am
Al Davis will pay Morrison 2.6 million or whatever before he even thinks about paying Dansby $10-20 million per year. bank on that
he’s not a DB!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:25 am
RRS, he ain’t stayin in AZ
February 16th, 2010 at 9:30 am
Doubt he would command 10 Mill a season. Who is the highest paid LB? Ans hat does he make. That figure seems to high for him.

February 16th, 2010 at 9:31 am
Jerrys bean scooped again. Janikowski is now the highest paid kicker ever.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:31 am

First of Al’s big checks this offseason.
There WILL be a big check handed to someone who is currently not on the team.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:34 am
Now sign Seymour!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:38 am
If the Raiders could nail any other positions like they did their kickers, we wouldn’t need good kickers so much.
But, congrats to Seabass.
What a year he had this year. I never seen anything like it.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:39 am
What position do we resign Seymour to play?
February 16th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Kegs and brats are on Sebastian tonight!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Yes, Vegas …
I prefer Frye and Losman over Gradkowski.
Sorry man!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:41 am
On July 15, 2009 the Ravens signed Suggs to a 6-year, $63 million contract, a deal which includes a $10.1 million signing bonus and a $23 million option bonus due next March. $40 million will be paid in the next two years. His bonus money ($33.1 million) made him the highest paid linebacker in NFL history.

Dansby is going to want something similar…

Jhill,
I just shake my head.
Just promise me you will come around when we are 3-1 to start the year with Bruce at the helm.

depends on who we’re playing!
If we start the season against 4 playoff teams I doubt we go 3-1 in the first 4 games with JR or BG at QB!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Suggs played in 13 games. He made 59 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and a forced fumble last year
LOL!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:47 am
thats cool Seabass & Shane got the same exact deals

*******************************
I see a soft schedule for the Raiders this year. The league might throw us some softballs for once.
Maybe start the year in St. Louis come back home for a division game, than maybe to SF and back home for Houston.
Interested in the home game against Indy. Might be our best chance to get a primetime game.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:49 am
It’s going to take a lot more than that Vegas.
I STILL don’t like Gannon, lol!
I always used to wonder what we could have done as a team if Gannon could throw a pass more than 10 yds down the field!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:50 am
Ridiculously soft schedule this year!
10-11 win season!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:51 am
Peyton Manning is going to shred our vanilla defense unless Marshall changes things up like he did in Philly and we go into attack mode.
Peyton, meet Mike Mitchell & Trevor Scott.

Now this makes a little more sense.
Gannon was frkn awesome, and while he couldn’t stretch the middle of the field, for his 3 year run, nobody threw the 20 yard corner of the endzone pass better than him.
Those corner TD’s to Rice were deadly!! Two near 40 year olds just schooling the youngsters, I loved it!!
February 16th, 2010 at 9:52 am
Ridiculously soft?…ya right,…soft for who?
February 16th, 2010 at 9:53 am
I understand that you’re looking for something to cheer for Vegas, but Bruce Gradkowski is NOT taking the Raiders to the playoffs. I just don’t see it.
Outside of drafting Bradford or trading for another QB not on our roster, our best hope long term is Russell or Losman putting it together.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:53 am
Jhill: if you don’t like sharp, accurate, west coach type QB’s with leadership skills you must be in favor of the Air Coryell offense with guys like
Kerry Collins
Jeff George
Andrew Walter
JaMarcus Russell
Am I right?
February 16th, 2010 at 9:55 am
Gannon won the friggin MVP for Christs sake,…was main reason we won alot of games…ya Russell can throw the ball farther then most,..that hasnt done him well so far.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:55 am
soft for us Bob, IMO.
Seattle, KC Twice, St Louis, Az, Dungver twice.
That should be 7 wins right there.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:55 am
4 games against KC and Denver, at STL and SF, home for AZ and Sea, at Jax are all very winnable games.
Win a good chunk of those and come close to .500 in the others and we might be on to something.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:57 am
our best hope long term is Russell or Losman putting it together.
****************************
You got to live in the know brother!! Bruce would give us our best chance to win tomorrow. Until someone else is better at winning tomorrow the job should be his to lose.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:58 am
Ya ok jhill,..I think your opinion is ridiculous.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:59 am
To a degree, yes you are right. Was excited at the prospect of each one of those guys in our offense. But at the same time, I REALLY liked the idea of Tui in our offense. I just simply wished Gannon had a little deeper ball in his arsenal from time to time. It was the ONE thing he was missing.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:00 am
LOL Bob!
You wouldn’t be the first one.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:01 am
Tim Tebow is rated the 5th best QB according to both Kiper & McShay.
He has a lot of haters in here, but I trust draft “experts” moreso than a few raider fans who are bitter about his religious beliefs …
If they could travel back in time to the 2007 draft, I wonder where JaMarcus Russell would be ranked? (after seeing his first 3 NFL seasons)
February 16th, 2010 at 10:01 am
—”Raiders agreed to terms with K Sebastian Janikowski on a four-year, $16 million contract. The deal includes $9 million guaranteed. The Raiders can’t recognize talent at the quarterback or wide receiver positions, but at least now have the highest paid placekicker/punter (Shane Lechler) combination in the league. Janikowski, 32 in March, connected on 26-of-29 field goal tries last year, including 6-of-8 from beyond 50 yards. Unfortunately, he got only 17 PAT chances. In order for this signing to be truly worthwhile, the Raiders will have to discover an offense going forward”—
February 16th, 2010 at 10:02 am
For those that don’t believe in the miraculous powers of the great Gradkowski, maybe you didn’t see the Dallas game.
DHB actually caught a TD pass. If that doesn’t give you hope, I don’t know what will.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:02 am
Regarding “soft sked”,..thats what other teams say when they see us on their sked….we dont have anything like a soft sked…come on man.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:02 am
Exactly Vegas!
I mean, we were just a QB away last year, right? A softer schedule, a play caller, a few upgrades to the lines and return game and we can’t count ST Louis as a win?
Oh, I forgot Bob, your rooting for blackouts and opportunities to boo.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:03 am
Thank you La Melissa,…we didnt know any of that.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:05 am

February 16th, 2010 at 10:06 am
If you want to be literal Bob, then of course this is the NFL and you have to show up every week.
If we are not prepared to right now say that we are better than the Rams, Az, Seattle, KC, Denver, and Jacksonville, then I guess our team is not as good as many in here think.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:08 am
Morning Nation.
February 16th, 2010 at 10:09 am
Broncos, Texans, Chiefs, Redskins & Browns were all winnable games last year. none of those teams made the playoffs. We got outscored by a combined 84 points.
one could also argue that we “should have” beat SD once and been at least competitive in a 38-0 blowout to the Jets at home …
Don’t talk to me about “winnable games” next year.
We need to take care of us before we worry about other teams. How many consecutive 11+ loss seasons?
you guys are under the impression that the Raiders will improve in 2010, but the other 2009 bottom feeders will not? LOL

I really wanted this to be true, but sadly VY had a 82 passer rating and Bruce an 80.2
But Bruce’s passer rating was better than Cutler’s (76.8)

Can we please sign Jon Condo to a long-term deal. He is the best longsnapper in the league and deserves recognition for the success of Seabass and Shane.
February 16th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
I say take Dan Williams at #8 and leave Seymour outside for now. Maybe Shaughnessy develops into a player that can play the run and the pass…then you move Seymour inside…not before one of the younger players can prove they can play the run on the outside.
***
S&B: Seymour, Nessy & J-Rich are all base ends …
Ellis & Scott are your typical pass rush guys. Burgess was on the same ticket
Washington was washed up by the time we brought him in for the NT job. (2004 was his 14th NFL season!) Sapp wasn’t a NT. Sands would dominate 1 game and disappear for the next 10. Warren isn’t a NT either
show me a real NT and i’ll show you a real run defense
February 16th, 2010 at 12:39 pm
RENTON, Wash. (AP) The Seattle Seahawks have signed long snappers Patrick MacDonald and Matt Overton to address a recent problem.
The team announced Friday it had doubled up in its attempt to find a consistent snapper for punts and place kicks.
The Seahawks have used six long snappers in three years since Jean-Philippe Darche left in free agency for Kansas City following the 2006 season.
They brought Jeff Robinson out of retirement three times to do the job, including last fall.
***
Scottish: I know at least 1 team interested in LS Condo if Al Davis doesn’t make him a priority this offseason!
February 16th, 2010 at 12:40 pm
The thing that stands out is that 4 of the 10 RFA’s are linebackers. Considering that the Raiders have the makings of a decent defensive line (if Seymour is signed), the defensive backs are pretty solid, and the outside backers have good speed, the problem seems to be the ILB position. The other thing to keep in mind is that the offensive line has problems, but drafting for that spot usually means that the guy can’t step in right away, unless he is exceptional. And 7th pick won’t get you an exceptional tackle. Even though Al has historically picked exactly one linebacker as his first pick since he’s been with the Raiders (Rob Fredrickson, and I don’t remember what slot he picked in; I don’t think it was very high), I really hope the clouds part and the light shines through this year and Al picks Rolando McClain. That will solve the run defense problem in my opinion, and he can let one (or more) of those RFA linebackers go. I don’t like the odds, though. Al just doesn’t go that high for linebackers.
February 16th, 2010 at 12:48 pm
As a DT, Seymour would be classified as a UT, not a NT.
Tommy Kelly & Gerard Warren are both decent UT’s, but neither is a NT and giving that job to Warren simply because he has 30 lbs on Kelly doesn’t change what he really is suited for. 2 UT’s next to eachother doesn’t work. You need a big strong fat guy to take on double teams. You need him to push back the center into the QB or sometimes the center and fullback on runs up the middle. he’ll clog up running lanes and smash RB’s behind the line of scrimmage.
I said all that to say this. Cutting Warren or Kelly & giving that job to Seymour would be a mistake. It would yield the same results. Seymour can sub in for one of these guys on occasion, but he’s not somebody you want there for a whole game and especially not an entire season. He’s a base end. Let him disrupt plays on the edge. Let him go in the middle on 3rd & long with Scott at his DE spot. Thats pressure on the QB.
go get a real NT in free agency or draft one. There isn’t one on the roster!
February 16th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
Roto World is reporting That Marc Bulger is cleaning out his locker in St. Louis, and is likely to be released soon.
If this is true, my question is: A) Is Mr. Bulger totally washed up? or B) Does he have a chance of going somewhere else and ressurecting his career?
Personaly I don’t think it would hurt to have him compete in camp and see what happens. I”m sure he will be relativeley cheap and I think he would prefer a chance to go somewhere he could possibly start.
He did have some seasons of respectabilty before the team crumbled around him (along with his own injuries.)
If nothing else a new topic to ponder.

The Oakland Raiders and Sebastian Janikowski reached agreement Tuesday morning on the richest kicking contract in NFL history, according to league sources.
AFC West blog
ESPN.com’s Bill Williamson writes about all things AFC West in his division blog.
• Blog network: NFL Nation
Janikowski will sign a four-year, $16 million contract that includes $9 million in guaranteed money, sources said. It also removes arguably the top kicker from the free-agent market. Other notable free-agent kickers are expected to include Cincinnati’s Shayne Graham and the New York Jets’ Jay Feely.
In 10 seasons, all with the Raiders, Janikowski has scored 1,000 points, converting 78.4 percent of his field goal attempts (229 of 292) and 313 of 316 extra-point attempts. He scored 95 points in 2009.
February 16th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
Janikowski has performed very admirably the last three years. He no longer deserves the “Shank-ikowski” name tag.
February 16th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Janikowski getting signed means Seymour gets the franchise tag unless they have a contract in place.
February 16th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
Yep
February 16th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
Alright Jerry…now that the world already knows about Janikowski, you can go ahead and post a blog.

Bo, Nap Harris was not a number one pick by Davis for the Raiders. I checked the draft record back to 1962, before Al was on board.

I said a linebacker as the first pick in the draft, not a first-rounder.

Well, that should make them better tacklers, shouldn’t it. Maybe the Raiders D needs more of them…. The only question is do they like it better from the front or back. Nnamdi seems to make the most of his tackles from the front, while Kirk makes most of his from behind. If Kirk liked to make his tackles more from the front and behind the line of scrimmage, we might have a better run defense.
