Russell gets with the program
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 at 10:17 am in Oakland Raiders.
JaMarcus Russell is on site and particpating in the Raiders’ offseason program, the club confirmed without any other comment.
The Raiders have no plans to make Russell available to the media, so there won’t be any opportunity to see if the weight loss alluded to be director of player development Willie Brown is obvious to a casual observer.
Regardless, the Russell story will play out over a protracted period of time and probably won’t get really interesting until he is first viewed in public setting during the first open minicamp.

What would the team have looked like with a QB better than JaMarcus/Bruce/Charlie quality ???
==========================
On that note, how would Grad have done had he had time with the one’s during camp, like JR did, and got to progress as the season went on?
All you can hope for is a camp battle that decides who’s best to be behind center.
Saw PC with Carr stating he’s going to battle Smith for the starting job in camp, and that he was assured the best qb starts in SF.
That’s how it should be.

Dang…just called Kelli’s real estate office that he works for.
They haven’t seen him in a while..keep transferring me to his message center, but in spite of my desires to help Kelli out of his funk, he’s no where to be found.
—————————-
He was put into my voicemail by the receptionist, then blew a children’s horn into the receiver.
He denies it now, but there’s his post…………

March 16th, 2010 at 10:26 am
repost –
Jhill: an open competition means that Bruce, Charlie & JaMarcus each get an opportunity to be “the guy”
it doesn’t speak less of any QB other than the one who was drafted to save the franchise.
Cable wants Russell to turn it around just as bad as Davis and all of us fans do. Giving him a chance to compete is the right thing to do, because cutting him would cost us at least $3 million. The hope is that maybe he’ll pull a Vince Young (QB Rating of 82 his 4th year in the league. Won 8 of his 10 starts)

good question Ricky. sounds like we’re about to find out …
Bruce will split first-team reps with JaMarcus this offseason. I hope JaMarcus learned a lot at Eddie Anderson’s Fat Camp!
The dark horse might even be Charlie Frye if he can limit the turnovers. Jerry Mac said he was by far the best QB in camp last year, even signed late. He had the best completion percentage last year too.

Now, more importantly, wassup with Morrison and Howard? Only 2 guys to not sign their tender, huh?

=====================
Toughest position in sports is coming off the bench cold and getting behind center, and performing well.
Considering all, Grad and Frye stepped up and did a good job, and honestly, as long as it’s a fair competition in training camp, put the best guy on the field, regardless of salary.
If it’s JR, so be it. Means he earned it on the field.
That’s all you can ask for.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:39 am
Newly acquired Kamerion Wimbley is expected to play defensive end in the Raiders’ 4-3 system.
There has been some speculation that Wimbley might play linebacker, but Oakland is set outside with WLB Trevor Scott and SLB Thomas Howard, and he isn’t going to replace Kirk Morrison in the middle. Matt Shaughnessy will likely now become a third-down, nickel rusher, with Wimbley as the full-time left end. RE Richard Seymour will move inside in obvious passing situations.

March 16th, 2010 at 10:40 am
It seems as though LB has already been addressed with Wimbley. Unless of course you think Shaugnessy is still coming off the bench, or Seymour is moving inside.

shouldn’t it be the other way around?
Matt is a base end, not a situational pass rusher!

I don’t know that one thing Lombardo has speculated on has been correct.
Shaugnessy looked like more than a nickle rushing end last year. Going into year 2, I’d be surprised if he is “limited” to a back up role.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:44 am
nice post DMAC. thanks for sharing bro
I figured most of that would be the case, but Matt isn’t a situational pass rusher!
dude might be the best run defender on the DL …

RRS,
This is the ultimate pie being thrown against the wall.
Just basically saying the personell as contructed doesn’t make much sense.
Shaugnessy should be starting but this talk of Wimbley playing DE is throwing a monkey wrench in the logic. Unless Seymour is moving to DT full time, it’s hard to get a read on it.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:06 am
Jhill, so in other words … instead of replacing Kirk Morrison via draft or free agency we should switch formations and make Trevor Scott (not Ricky Brown) the defensive captain and “MLB” ?

Re-post;
Did I not say JR was in Phx working out?
Not that that helps you have pocket awareness, less likely to fumble, leadership qualities or anything, really.
He’s only here because Al gave him an ultimatum.
To little too late.
He only cares when his job is on the line.
It has to come from the inside.
And JR doesn’t have it.
Vince Young showed potential from day one.
Russel’s not in the same league as Kowski but they’ll give him a last chance.
But it doesn’t matter if JR improves.
He might play okay for a bit but we’ll just be waiting for him to down-slide again.
After being so bad, so non-committed, so fat, so blank-stare, so much time shopping; How could he ever be trusted?
Can’t even stand on his own. Has to have somebody watch him.
This video says it all:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjDW37CIPh4
Having said that I would love to see him prove me wrong and live up to his alleged potential because it would be good for the Raiders.
I doubt it will happen.
And we’d just be waiting for the other shoe to fall.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:07 am

Krappy, did you ever stop to think that YOU mirror the Raider’s success over the past 7 years?
Just when everyone thinks you and the Raiders simply can’t go any lower, you somehow manage the impossible.
Maybe that’s why you live on this blog, because the Raiders are a direct reflection of your losing way of life.
Think about it, Krappy -
The Raiders run the same predictable offense, trot out an antiquated defense and miserably fail to improve their front office.
YOU run the same predictable stats on the blog everyday, trot out a weak defense for all of your failings and shortcoming and miserably fail to improve your business (1 PATHETIC listing!) because you’d rather hang at the old man barbershop, blog your dumb brains out and crap your pants all day.
Oh yeah, and you’re a unapologetic racist.

I know I would be on board with drafting Cody and playing Seymour and Kelly at DE.
Wimbley and Scott would be perfect 3-4 outside LBs, and Ricky Brown would be a decent ILB. I’m sure we can get a solid ILB to pair with Brown in the draft.

Re: Bey
Stated this while back.
Bey is like Renaldo Nehemiah.
Both very fast track stars.
Both put on a football uniform past high school days.
Both came into the league tight as a drum, not having grown up getting used to hits, and jumping back up and shaking it off.
Both short arm balls.
Both hear footsteps, even when they’re not there.
One of them came into the league, and failed badly, and was ultimately released.
The other is in year two.

While there is not a bigger fan of Suh on the planet than me, we have too many holes to fill, and this is a deep draft. We are better off using our lst three or four picks to get good players at positions we need.

And for all of the grief accumulated from the poorest free agent signing in Raider history (Javon Walker) and the useless season just endured by Darrius Heyward-Bey, I give you D. McF. as poster child for all things worthless.
For all of you DMc apologists (there must be someone out there in blog land), I say that the past two years of McF have had exactly the same impact on the Raiders as Javon and DHB. ZERO IMPACT. NADA. ZILCH.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Actually, DMAC is worse than zilch. Javon and DHB didn’t fumble the ball over an over and over, killing many of the precious few drives we were able to construct last season. DMAC = coach killer.

Liked hearing this from Grads yesterday:
“I never stopped working out because I wanted to get my knees healthy and my legs strong,” Gradkowski told beat writer Steve Corkran in a phone interview. “I could play in a game tomorrow. I feel great.”
Gradkowski said he signed his tender Monday and said he’s been at the facility “on and off” since the end of the regular season.
^^^^^Thats the sign of a true competitive leader at QB and a guy who wants it….badly.
Juggs Russell has a ways to go and alot to prove if he does not want his career to wind up being an embarrassment!

We play the weak ass AFC West and the weak ass NFC West.

DHB, DMAC, and one of the QBs will rise to the occasion this year with the improved Oline!

March 16th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Well, it looks like the #8 pick is going to come down to a select few players…depending on if Morrison leaves and the team gets a 3rd rounder back.
These are the players that will most likely be the pick at 8:
OT Trent Williams
OT Anthony Davis
OT Bruce Campbell
DT Dan Williams
MLB Rolando McClain (if Morrison leaves)
I would also like to see Iowa bulldozing OT Kyle Calloway targeted in Round 3 or 4 to be either a RT or RG prospect with the Raiders.

You could see Russell had worked on his mechanics in the very last game versus Baltimore. He is holding the rock much closer to his chin. And he was 6 for his lst 7. Then, of course, the bad habits kick in. He starts holding the rock the way wack-o’s wife holds wack-o, like a sack of rancid trash, and then the turnovers start.

And let’s not forget about the draft.
Cam Thomas, Lamar Houston, and a few other guys would be nice adds to the DT rotation.
And I’m thinking Ricky Brown will be a better captain of the defense than Kirk was. He will have the defense lined up correctly, and call the right audibles. Not only that, I’m sure he’ll be where he is supposed to be.

I think RRS said earlier that Russell couldn’t hit the side of a barn when we last saw him.
Are you sure about that 6-7?
March 16th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Jhill: Seymour would be doubled at DE too by a OT and probably a back or tight end
he’s just that type of player. disruptive
I just don’t see the 310 lbs Dick stopping a center, guard and possibly fullback
only 4 sacks last year and a run defense in the crapper. 1 guy named Dick didn’t transform the entire DL last year and I don’t expect that to happen this year either …
March 16th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
I saw him this morning. He’s still fat. And I have it on good authority the player the Raiders are looking to draft is fat as well. And the interim head coach is also fat. All of this is made more puzzling by the fact Al Davis isn’t and has never been fat.

I just expect Rich to do his job as 1 of 11 men on the defense, RRS.
If Rich can take on a G and C, and they feel the need to also run a FB in there to help, then he’s my opening day DT!
Anyone that can attract that type of attention from the D is exactly what the doctor ordered. Now I have 10 other guy playing against 8.
March 16th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Here is the first or second round reach the Raiders are going to perform in the upcoming draft:
“March 16, 2010
There’s a good chance that you’ve never heard of Louisiana-Monroe defensive end Aaron Morgan.
Don’t feel bad, because there are probably some NFL teams hoping Morgan remains a secret as well—at least for another six weeks.
The senior defensive end took part in Louisiana-Monroe’s pro day on Tuesday and apparently made an impression on the personnel in attendance from the OAKLAND RAIDERS!!!!!!! and New Orleans Saints.
Both teams stuck around after the pro day to put Morgan through a more extensive workout, according to a league source that was in attendance.
Morgan (6-4, 240 pounds) recorded 45 tackles (28 solo), nine sacks and one interception for the 6-6 Warhawks in 2009. The 21-year-old finished his career at Louisiana-Monroe with 130 tackles and 22 sacks.
Here’s NFP Director of College Scouting Wes Bunting’s take on Morgan, who the NFP has ranked as the 15th overall defensive end prospect:
Morgan exhibits impressive body control and power when using his long arms to disengage from blocks on contact. He’s violent and does a great job working his hands and feet together. He’s sudden on contact. He does a nice job dropping his pad level once he gains a step and exhibits impressive closing speed on the ball. But he lacks a great initial burst off the edge and isn’t a guy who will consistently threaten the corner. Morgan needs to do a better job keeping his pad level down when trying to disengage and change directions. He uses his short-area quickness and hands to sidestep blocks and fight his way through contact. He isn’t powerful vs. the run game. ??
He’s driven back at the point of attack and lacks the power to consistently anchor on contact. He plays with a great motor and works hard in pursuit. He exhibits impressive closing speed on the ball and can make plays away from his frame. He’s a coordinated athlete who showcases the footwork to drop off in coverage and looks comfortable in his back-pedal and changing directions. Morgan plays tough inside and is effective when asked to shoot gaps and penetrate the backfield. He’s a funny athlete who’s effective inside and disengaging from blocks off the edge but looks ideally suited to play 3-4 OLB.”
March 16th, 2010 at 12:25 pm
Russell vs Ravens
9/14, 102 yards, 0 TD’s, 2 turnovers
not exactly the “coming out party” I was hoping for
especially when Frye was 18/25, 180 yards, TD & no turnovers …
March 16th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
some1 said Frye has a chance at the starting job but I sure hope not, looked like sh versus the Browns

Almost positive. I was at the game so I am doing this from memory. And he looked good. But then, the bad habits kick in, and the turnovers and such start.
March 16th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
Jhill: just my opinion so don’t bite my head off.
Seymour can’t play NT. he’d get run over worse than Warren
trading for Wimbley was stupid if it forces Seymour inside …

March 16th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Doubt DT Dan Williams will be the pick at #8.
There is GREAT depth at the DT position in this years draft and DT’s like Lamarr Houston, Terrance Cody, Geno Atkins, Cam Thomas and Alex Carrington may all be there when the Raiders make their 2nd Round pick.
MLB Brandon Spikes may also be there as well.
The key is for freakin old man making the pick at the DT position in Round 2 and not freakin REACHING for a KR/WR like Jacoby Ford in Round 2 instead!
Sheesh….
March 16th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
I say we go for Vick. Im sure he will be able to complete more than 40% of his passes and get more than a few first downs on the run when we need it……keeping our D off the field long enough to catch their breaths.Last season if we had a qb that completed at least 55% we might have made the play-offs.TO wouldnt be a bad pick up either….lets give those young WR’s something to work for.
March 16th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Seymour,
Turn on CNN. The House is considering using some asinine procedural rule normally used to pass things like raising the debt ceiling to pass the health care bill without taking a direct vote on the bill itself. It might be the only way they can convince some Dems to sign the bill by giving them plausible deniability come election time.
“Who me, I didn’t vote for that bill, I just voted for the reconciliation package!”

A player that the Raiders should look into as a possible 2nd Round pick is DT/DE Alex Carrington.
He is versatile and can play inside on passing downs and as a RDE on base run downs, who can also rush the passer from the RDE position. Athletic, strong, versatile.

I speak with seniors everyday about Medicare and plans, and they all say the same things. Keep things the way they are.
Now I don’t deal in Medicaid, where I am sure the opinion would be much different, but not once has a senior told me they can’t wait for sweeping legislation.

Just too much depth at the DT/DE positions in this draft to go with D Williams at #8.
With the OT pick, they better freakin make sure they get the right one. They better look at freakin TONS of tape between T Williams, A Davis, and B Campbell and figure out who has is a hard worker and who has their head on straight and who would fit what Hue Jackson wants to do on offense better.
The Campbell pick would be considered a boom or bust pick of course with Williams and Davis being considered the safer picks per say.

Bo,
You must not know what is currently happening because you are getting the reconciliation procedure mixed up with what the newest trick is, deem and pass….and the Republicans have never used this procedure to pass any legislation of this level.
Do you seriously want this nation-changing bill passed without your representative even having to stand up and take accountability?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I do know exactly what is going on. My idiot rep voted against the reform. The process currently underway is because the house dems do not like the senate bill but must pass it b4 reconciling. But then the repubs would say “so-and-so voted for the cornhusker pork, etc.” when in fact the final bill will be stripped of the BS riders in reconciliation.
The reform is well worth the price. The repubs clearly appear as the tools of HMOs that they are.

A good realtor could handle all of this for him. I don’t buy his excuse, but he really doesn’t need one.

AARP Praises Passage of Health Reform
AARP applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for passing critical health-care reform legislation that would strengthen Medicare for seniors and end discrimination by insurance companies that prices millions of Americans out of affordable health coverage.
AARP supports H.R. 3962 because the bill would:
Protect and strengthen Medicare for today’s seniors and future generations of retirees.
Ensure seniors can see the doctor of their choice or find a doctor if they need one by improving Medicare’s payments to doctors.
Lower drug costs for seniors by closing the Medicare Part D “doughnut hole” and allow Medicare to negotiate for lower drug prices.
Take steps to reduce waste, fraud, abuse and inefficiency in the Medicare program.
Require Medicare and insurance companies to provide for important preventive services like screenings for diabetes, cancer and osteoporosis free of charge for those who don’t have coverage.
Prevent insurers from denying affordable coverage to anyone because of their age or health.
Limit how much your insurance company can make you pay out-of-pocket.
Provide affordable health insurance options for those who don’t have insurance or can’t afford it.
Provide benefits to help seniors and people with disabilities live in their own homes and communities.
March 16th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
The health care debate happened in the last election. McCain got killed. Obama made helth reform a priority in the election (which he won decisively), and now the majority of voters should be heeded. Wingnuts must not believe in democracy.

at 5′10″ 185 lbs he’s not your typical Raider CB (over 6 foot tall with blazing speed)
In 4 seasons he has 5 INT’s, 17 passes defensed and 99 solo tackles.

Even this CNN left wing nut case is against it:
“FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:
Just when you think you’ve seen it all in Washington… along comes something like this:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may call for a vote on a rule that would simply ‘deem’ the Senate health care bill passed.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may try to pass the controversial health care reform bill without making members vote on it. Unbelievable.
Pelosi says she might use a procedural tactic where the House will vote on the package of fixes to the Senate bill… and then that vote would signify that lawmakers “deem” the health care bill to be passed.
Politically speaking, this is beyond sleazy. It’s meant to protect Democrats – especially those up for re-election in November – from having to make a tough vote. Pelosi says of this process, “I like it… because people don’t have to vote on the Senate bill.” In Nancy Pelosi’s world, accountability is a dirty word.
The Senate bill, of course, contains many provisions that are unpopular among some House Democrats – including language on abortion funding and taxes on high-cost insurance plans.
This tactic has been used in the past – but never for something as big and important as the nearly $900 billion health care reform bill.
Republicans are jumping all over this – and rightfully so. They’re painting it as a way for Democrats to avoid taking responsibility. Some even suggest it’s unconstitutional.
Meanwhile President Obama is campaigning relentlessly – calling on lawmakers to pass health care reform, “I want some courage. I want us to do the right thing.”
The irony here is if Nancy Pelosi gets her way, it won’t take much courage at all on the part of our so-called representatives.”

you’ve given every black QB in Oakland a pass for failure since Dickey, haven’t you?
In fact, doesn’t he even refer to himself as the chosen one?

Jeff Garcia says JaMarcus Russell didn’t want to be helped
Posted by Mike Florio on March 16, 2010 5:12 PM ET
On the same day that Willie Brown of the Raiders said that JaMarcus Russell has lost weight and gotten into shape, former Raiders (for a short while) quarterback Jeff Garcia teed off regarding Russell.
Appearing Tuesday with our friends Josh and Jeff of Xtra Sports 1360 AM in San Diego, Garcia was candid regarding his views on Russell, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 draft.
“As much as I was willing and open to helping the young guy, he’s gotta want to be open and willing to be helped himself, and he’s gotta want to get after it himself, as far as his own goals, his own motivation,” Garcia said. “You can’t necessarily push those buttons with certain people. And so you know I hope he figures it out, I hope he turns it around, because if he doesn’t soon he may find himself out of this league, just by the way this league operates. They can’t wait around forever for the guy to turn the investment into a positive situation.”
Supposedly, Russell finally has decided to make that commitment. He reportedly has shown up today for offseason workouts after missing Monday, and he supposedly is somewhere south of a weight that would cause the needle of a standard bathroom scale to bust the peg.
Whether Russell finally has decided that he’s not content simply being the guy who was the first pick in 2007 remains to be seen. If he’s ever going to get serious about his career, now is the time.

DKnight007:
if we can reach for Darrius Heyward-Bey with Walker, Schilens, Higgins & Watkins on the roster then I’m sure we can reach for Dan Williams with Kelly & Bryant at DT …
I have NO PROBLEM with that. There aren’t any NT’s in free agency and the difference in quality of player we can get from Dan Williams in Round 1 to the best available fat guy in Round 3 is pretty big imo. A gamble we can’t afford
^^^^^^^^
I agree….and I don’t think Williams would be a reach at 8 he would be a great pick.
I want Weatherspoon on this damn Raider team also….he would be a nice replacement for Morrison as a MIKE MLB!

For Dakota,
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/03/explaining_deem_and_pass.html
Explaining deem and pass
Byron Tau doesn’t think I, or anyone else, has done a very good job explaining deem and pass, so he takes a shot:
So here’s how the “deem-and-pass” procedure would actually work. The House Rules committee is often called the “traffic cop” of the House – controlling what bills come to the floor and how much debate is allowed on each one. On each bill, they pass what is called a “rule” – a resolution determining what kind of debate is allowed on each bill. The whole House must first pass the rule, then the underlying legislation. In the case of “deem-and-pass,” the vote on the rule would also have the effect of passing the Senate bill. According to the CRS report linked above, the House has used this procedure at least six times between 1989 and 2005 with both parties in charge.
Maybe that’ll be clearer for folks. But the problem with explaining deem and pass is that it’s virtually impossible to explain why it’s being used. Reconciliation is simple enough: Republicans insist on filibustering and Democrats want the health-care reform fixes to have an up-or-down vote. If Republicans wouldn’t filibuster, Democrats wouldn’t use reconciliation. It’s as simple as that.
But deem and pass? House Democrats don’t want to vote for the Senate bill because it includes the excise tax and the Nebraska deal. Normally, what would happen is that they’d create a package of amendments stripping the offending sections or send the two bills to conference committee and emerge with a single piece of legislation that both chambers could support. But because the 41 Senate Republicans have sworn to filibuster anything that moves, those options are blocked.
So here’s what’s happening: The House has to pass the Senate bill before the reconciliation fixes can be attached. But they don’t want to do that. So they’re passing the reconciliation fixes and deeming the Senate bill passed as part of that.

Never doubted for a minute that he’d get in better shape. But that’s only part of the equation. Being in great shape and putting in the extra effort in the film room got Brady Quinn traded after just 14 starts. The Browns went out of their way NOT to build around him. Can you name a starting WR on that team? What has me excited about JR is that, barring injuries, he’ll have the same group of WRs that he had to end the previous season for the 1st time in his career.
March 16th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
Afternoon. Good to see thhings picking up finally. I Like that Russell isn’t quitting… yet. I don’t see it happening but it would make for a pretty good story if Russell could turn things around. After all, he only has to be is just a little bit better than Gradokowski. This team can win with an average QB and a good defense. Just get rid of the ball quicker, just not turn it over and just learn the damn playbook… I know, seems like a tall order for Russ. Hope he has it in him but I’m not holding my breath.
March 16th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
Stanford is not a good nickel back. He needs to have the line to help him on the outside. He’s actually pretty good when he’s matched up against a second or third receiver. Dude just can’t cover the primary though… He should be the back up for CJ and move Huff into his slot. Stanford scares me whenever he comes in for Nmandi.
March 16th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Call me crazy but I’d love to see T.O. signed for a year. He behaved pretty well in Buffalo on a pretty bad team. I also think he has something left in the tank and would appreciate the warmer weather, just across the bay from where he had his best years.
T.O. would not hesitate to get in Russell’s face either and I think Russell needs that. Our guys are too young to do that.
March 16th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
Al understands and appreciates the value of a great left tackle. The position has always been special to him. He tried hard to get Pace and missed out on Walter Jones.
Would love to see us move down a bit and still get a good tackle in the draft as well as the guard from Boise. Just think of the line we would have if we had grabbed Claddy and Mack along with Gallery and Henderson sliding to the right tackle.. That would have been a hell of a line.
Have a feeling that Walker will be starting at RT in the season opener. Will be pushed though by whatever rookie tackle we draft, and we will be drafting one early.

How does Al know the great value of LT when he avoided the line in the 1st round for quite sometime?
No way in hell L Walker should be moved to RT…he is too big and his footwork is not good enough to be a full time RT. The best position on the O-Line for Walker would the RG spot.
He would add power to the run game and he would be able to pass protect much better in a phone booth due to his size.

The match is ideal on paper, but Lombardi is trustworthy as an ex-Raiders personnel man. He notes that Al Davis doesn’t like competition, and T.O. plays the same position as 2009 first-round pick Darrius Heyward-Bey. With five months before Week 1, we can safely say the Raiders’ QBs are doomed. Mar. 12 – 2:11 pm et

2010 NFL Draft: Everson Griffen Would Be Step in Right Direction for Raiders
Danny Flynn by
Danny Flynn
Contributor Written on March 12, 2010
The jokes have been made. The losses have accumulated. The rapid deterioration of a once proud franchise has been witnessed by all.
Over the last decade we have watched the Oakland Raiders become one of the laughingstocks of the NFL right before our very eyes.
From bad free agent moves, to head-scratching draft choices, to questionable head coaching decisions, the organization’s shortcomings have piled up into a mess.
Yet there still might be a light at the end of the tunnel for Raider Nation.
Say what you want about JaMarcus Russell and Darrius Heyward-Bey, but the fact is that they are still very young and inexperienced.
Were we honestly expecting these two to come into the league and set the world on fire from the get-go?
These are two young men that possess a great deal of talent but are also extremely raw. Their games need refinement and they need to grow and learn about what it takes to succeed in the NFL as a player.
The light hasn’t come on yet, and it may never come on, but let’s at least give them a fair shake before we throw them to the side.
QB and WR are two of the hardest positions to come in and be successful at right away, especially for a bad team.
The Raiders have chosen these cards to play, and to give up on them now would be foolish.
In time, I believe that these two can be a solid foundation for a franchise on the way up. Because let’s face it, things can’t get much worse.
It’s better for Russell and Heyward-Bey to take their lumps early and learn from them.
The fact is that no matter what anyone says, they can be successful pro players. They are going to need the talent around them though. This is a team game, and one single player can only be as successful as his counterparts.
That brings us to this year’s draft and what the Raiders should do with the eighth pick in this year’s draft.
Building a solid foundation through the draft is fundamentally key for this team. There is talent in Oakland, but that talent is also matched by some glaring holes on almost every level.
The top players on this team lack true complementary pieces. Kirk Morrison has no one outside of him, Richard Seymour has no true threat opposite him, and the same can be said for cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.
These are all quality players and some of the best at their position, but they need accomplices to be the best they can be.
That is where Everson Griffen, the defensive end from USC, comes into play for the Raiders.
After the recent departure of Greg Ellis, there is now a hole to be filled and a need to give Seymour some help in the pass rush.
There may be no better pass rusher then Griffen in this year’s draft.
When Griffen is on his game, he can be scary and overwhelming. At 6′3″ and 270-plus pounds, he is an athletic dynamo. Everson simply possesses a size-speed-strength combination that few are blessed with. He is somewhat of a rarity.
One of his main faults, however, is that he isn’t always consistently “on his game.” He does have a tendency to disappear and play down to his competition.
When the bright lights and big stage come calling, though, he comes to play. It’s hard to knock a player for performing his best on the biggest of stages (Ohio State, Notre Dame). You could say that it is troubling that he isn’t always consistent against lesser competition, but that can be the case for many players.
Yes, admittedly he did not live up the high expectations bestowed upon him when he arrived at USC. Nonetheless, to say he was a bust in his college campaign would be an unfair exaggeration
After his freshman season, when he earned Freshman All-American honors, the next two years were marred by inconsistency. He did the show the all-important “flashes” though.
He showed flashes that would make you believe that if he can reach his pinnacle, he can be the next Terrell Suggs. That would seem to be his apex as a pro player.
At his worst he will probably be merely a serviceable starter providing an occasional spark as a pass rush threat.
So the Raiders have to ask themselves if Everson Griffen is the best fit for them at the No. 8 position.
Some will make a case that offensive tackle should be the way to go. I for one believe Mario Henderson has potential. He is an athletically gifted young left tackle that will only benefit from the teachings of Tom Cable.
Would the Raiders prefer one of the tackles in this year’s draft over Henderson?
Would it be Anthony Davis, who seems to be hell-bent on becoming this year’s Andre Smith as the outcast of the draft?
Would it be Bruce Campbell, who for every eyebrow he raised with his workout at the combine has raised just as many with his lackluster game film?
If they did go defensive end, could they go with the talented but largely unproven one-year wonder Jason Pierre-Paul of South Florida?
Those three don’t make much sense to me. I look at Everson Griffen, and he seems to make sense for this organization.
There seems to be a consensus for who the top six (Sam Bradford, Ndamukong Suh, Gerald McCoy, Russell Okung, Eric Berry, and Jimmy Clausen) will be to come off the board first, but after that no one is really sure.
Yes, the Everson Griffen pick would be second-guessed by some, if not many.
In the present draft culture there are so many self-appointed analysts and gurus that feel their steadfast opinions are valid and right. They probably will fail to see the logic in it.
Come draft day, it might not be such a shock to see Griffen so high though. Right now he would probably be valued as a mid to late first round pick.
He is a riser, and he is only going to continue to climb up the boards as the draft approaches. His potential and freakish abilities are too much to overlook.
It is those abilities that can bring tremendous value to this team. It can be another piece in the puzzle that many fail to see is actually coming together nicely.
I believe the nucleus is there; it just needs to be built upon and fortified. The blocks (Asomugha, Seymour, Morrison, Russell, Darren McFadden, Michael Bush, Heyward-Bey, Louis Murphy, Tommy Kelly, etc.) are there for a solid team to be built. The Raiders just need to stay strong in their convictions regardless of how many people want to bash them.
Al, let the so-called “experts” make their workout warrior jokes. You build a solid team, do what you feel is right, and have the last laugh in the years to come.

Raiders.com: Why did you decide to re-sign with the Raiders?
Barnes: Because I got another fresh start here. When I came here last year I had the whole injury deal and I was in there at the right tackle. But I felt coming here, I had a fresh start and if I was going to come in at right tackle then I can come in and do it now and work until the season. I just like the group of guys that is here. It’s a good group of guys and you can’t find that in a lot of places. I’m just happy to get a fresh, clean start and have a good, clean year and after that we’ll just see what happens. So, I’m just excited to come back and play ball.
Raiders.com: What do you think your role will be this year?
Barnes: I really don’t know what spots I’ll be playing in. Last year, I was playing a little bit of guard here and there. I’d prefer to be at one of the tackle spots. I’m in the same boat as everybody else. We’re all here together and we just want to put the best five out there. I’m just keeping everything open and looking to be out there with a good, competitive group of guys.

Folks, JaDavis coming in shape is the BEST news of the offseason so far. This team has no shot with blue collar hero Gradkowski and the Rudy like Frye.
Truth is JaDavis has the potential to be that QB if he gets his head straight. I am very pleased to hear about the small but important step taken today. Hopefully JaDavis gets it now.
BTW, JaDavis will be the name I use for the QB because the fact that the guy was able to slack off for 3 yrs is an open indictment on the culture in this Raider lockerroom. No way a player slacks off in a place like Baltimore…NO WAY
Al Davis better start giving a damn about chemistry
March 16th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
Mario Henderson is our LT.
Barnes is talking about playing RT or OG.
March 16th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
Garcia made little to no effort to help JaMarcus out.
He was rarely in the QB huddle with the other QB’s. Frye & Gradkowski were the ones that were always talking to Russell.
So it’s pretty hypocritical for Garcia to be talkin’ crap about Russell now.
I think he thought he was gonna waltz into town and win the job.
Frankly, Gradkowski’s play last year was better than anything I’ve seen from Garcia in about 3 years.
March 16th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Raiders.com: Why did you decide to re-sign with the Raiders?
Barnes: It was either here, or the UFL. I had to think long and hard….
March 16th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Jhill,
Barnes may want to be a RT, but he wasn’t very good at it last year.
A camp at RT may help a lot, but I am not high on Khalif, other than being a great interview
March 16th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
If Mario is our LT and Barnes is our RG, then I go DT at 8 and RT in rd 2 or 3.
March 16th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
Vegas,
It really doesn’t matter what you are high on, lol.
Cable like Barnes, and I’m sure he’ll be in the starting 5.
March 16th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
Cornell not being in the lineup pretty much guarantees that we’ll be better at RT this year.
March 16th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Does Cable like Barnes? Sure didn’t find many ways to get him in the lineup
March 16th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Cable’s actually been pretty critical of Barnes. I think that’s a good thing.
Maybe the fire under the ass has been lit.
March 16th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Where are the anonymous players today? I’m sure there is some Jamarcus Russell update to get out there.
March 16th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Barnes was hurt last year. Why did he resgin with the Raiders hours into free agency? Did Paul McQuistan get any Raider.com interviews?
Doesn’t a spot on Raiders.com mean you are in the plans, lol?
March 16th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
I hate that crap.
If you’re gonna talk about your teammate, don’t talk “anonymously”. Have the balls to attach your name to your talk.

March 16th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Hey, I am good with Henderson and Barnes at the tackles with Walker at the RG position.
This team lost games because of p&ss poor offensive playcalling, a QB not ready to play and a 1st round draft pick that was useless.
Drafting a RT and Guard would be good in the 2nd and 3rd round.
Al Davis needs to draft Dan Williams
March 16th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Vegas,
Would you care to make a wager that Barnes will be in the starting 5 barring injury?
March 16th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
I don’t know if any of you went to the link for the Willie Brown interview but they were showing “highlights” of Jamarcus Russell. One of those “highlights” was in the Washington game here, where the RDE just runs around Henderson in half a second and sacks Russell. Pretty ridiculous really. Both tackle spots need help.
March 16th, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Exactly SnB
Barnes at RT and Walker at RG would allow us to draft Williams at 8, and a LB in rd 2.
Imagine if we get another 2 and 3 for Morrison and Howard?!?!
Draft OT and OG in rd 3, like Vegas said a while back.

OT is surely an option at 8 Seymour.
I just don’t think Henderson is out at LT. If we draft Bulaga or Williams at 8, I think that means Barnes will be playing OG and Henderson gets moved to RT.
March 16th, 2010 at 5:12 pm

Of course, you’re not a broker.
Didn’t you mean to say it was a “Broker kicking my ass for being so unproductive”?
Considering the size of your rather enormous posterior, that explains taking 30 min for something that should just take 5.
I’m worried about you Kelli.

Got him a house.
And lunch at MickeyD’s.

Just saw Russell interview on Chronicle Live. He made this chick chase alongside his car while he drove and talked. Politely tried to tell her no interviews today, but she persisted and got a workout for her trouble. The guy looks and sounds confident as hell. Talked about how good it was to be back with the team. Said he expects big things this season. JR is the man!!

Yeah, he did look better. I think a lot of that had to do with having Chaz back and the rookie WRs starting to get it, particularly Murphy. I think the revolving door at WR since JR was drafted has finally stopped. I think Hue should look at what the Giants did early on with Eli and run no-huddle more for JR. He seems to thrive at the end of close games when he lines up in shotgun with three wides. I want to see more of that this season.

SteveAlford, Doofus Boob, Oakglenn
I’m very proud of my life. I’ve done things that you will never do. Beeeeen all over the world. Own property in Europe. When I was the age of you and Doofus Boob, I was sailing the 7 seas.
At this point in my life, I can pretty much do what I want to.
I’ve got nothing to hide from anybody.
BUT, while you envious mfkrs dwell in my website getting angry, you could be writing your own life.

Well while that is not going to happen, you can almost pack Cable’s bags and get his bus ticket. He sld Grads to Mr Davis and if he doesn’t play well in the next two games Cable will almost certainly be fired. IMO
The only offensive coach that I would retain is Hackett. I’d get a WR coach worth his salt. I hope mr Davis hires te GM and then let’s the GM hire the HC.

Let’s say for the sake of argument that Seymour, Debo, Oakglenn, and whoever else you want to throw in there are all the same person.
Why is that even important? Why does that take up so much space on a Raider blog?

Gradkowski is licking his chops
March 16th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
HAHA Russell in shape? I know what happened!
The Raiders (aka Al Davis)told him to shape up or get cut and risk being named the biggest flop since Ryan Leaf. Forced him to get Personal Trained by Eddie Anderson and lose probably 30-50 pounds.
HAHA
Did I mention I hate the loser! I’m glad we got Gradkowski. How come we didn’t trade for Troy Smith? He’s a winner. I wish we had more qbs for competition.
March 16th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
I agree Plunketthead, Gradkowski wants to go head to head with Russell. If Russell is going to be something, this is make it or break it year.

March 16th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
I told ya’ll, we are going to have a very entertaining preseason this year. A QB competition, some very young skilled WR’s, maybe a lot more competant coaching.
Never been so excited for a preseason, lol. I know you guys can’t wait to see #2.
Only about 180 days away.
March 16th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
Well the great thing about Jamarcus Russell is that he basically tried to suck last year, and their is a massive area of improvement potentially in him.
That’s the whole deal. Bruce won’t be a whole lot better, but at his best we can win games at get us competitive. At Jamarcus’ “best” we should compete for the division every year. But we can’t waste another year on him if can’t get to his best. He’s going to have a short hook, but no way does he not start at least 4 games next year unless Bruce plays out of his mind.
I would set the line at starts for Jamarcus next year at 8.5
It’s all if he wants it.
March 16th, 2010 at 8:36 pm
vegas u talk enuff bruce for every damn body. everson griffen and b graham are the 2 de’s i like. i dont buy that wimbley is set at de and matt shawny is a situational player after the year he had. wouldnt surprise me to see de picked at #8 with seymour moving inside. i actually think that will be better cuz we need playmakers around him. scott and wimbley can get to the qb from olb now get another de who can close in from the edge.
March 16th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
You idiots just can’t help yourselves. You know who you are.You bring your stupid childish personal vendetta’s to a football blog!
March 16th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
the best thing is to have competition everywhere. these guys have been babied for too damn long.vegas i know u like mcclain alot but one of the reasons i like spikes better is cuz of his attitude. we need some more guys that are fiesty and play dirty. this team plays too soft and we have to get guys that play nasty.
March 16th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
Wassup Armond!
So reallt folks, Cody at 8?
March 16th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
I really can’t see us dropping a 3rd rd pick on Wimbley for him to not be an every down player.
March 16th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Scott and Wembley will be rushing the passer the majority time they will be on the field. If it is a run, they will be trying to get in the backfield.
That’s the problem with the D, we either stop them at the LOS or too many times they broke free for 20 yards. We need a more solid second level to clean these things up for only 6 or 7 yard runs.
Kirk and Howard could walk IMO. They are very replacable. Neither is a great blitzer by any means, and each seem to have gotten worse in pass coverage lately,IMO. And they are the starting LB’s for one of the consistantly worst run D’s year in and year out.
Why not replace them for a minute? Really what could it hurt? I’m pretty sure Al take another LB in the first 3 rounds this year.
March 16th, 2010 at 8:44 pm

You know your boy Bruce doesn’t have a chance in hell if Russell is actually in shape and dedicated.

“Al Davis does not like Competition”
According to Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post, a union between free agent Terrell Owens and the Raiders “won’t happen.”
The match is ideal on paper, but Lombardi is trustworthy as an ex-Raiders personnel man. He notes that Al Davis doesn’t like competition, and T.O. plays the same position as 2009 first-round pick Darrius Heyward-Bey. With five months before Week 1, we can safely say the Raiders’ QBs are doomed. Mar. 12 – 2:11 pm et

Maybe just competition for the weak minded.
I’ve read some books by the 70’s and 80’s Raiders and they talked about how competition was always part of the team mindset.
Always being pushed to do your best.

thats the point about kk and th.they need to go cuz they havent done sh!t in coverage as well. since they stopped getting all of those ints a few years ago they have become very average. i hope kirk is getting close to a deal somewhere so we can get that pick back. that could be a reason al made the move for wimbley. howard i believe will be back tho. one thing is for sure is that if both guys are back it will be open competition for each spot and we will have better depth at lb.
March 16th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Vegas,
I agree with what you said about our D giving up big plays.
We have guys who can flash at times but also get out of position. We need an immovable object.
And God bless him, but Kirk is just not stout enough to play the middle.
He gets an “A” for effort though.
March 16th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
wembley scott howard morrison brown eke norris so far at lb before the draft with other lbs in fa so far. looks much better at this time than last year. no tellin who we may pick up in the next few months.

The interior line needs upgrading as well, but not as bad as the LB’s IMO.
With TK, Dick and Matt S on the front, you should be able to get another guy in there to add to that and the LB’s should not have that tough of a gig. Get in their and hit someone.
Spikes or McClain would be huge upgrades for the team, and I don’t think it would take as long as most rookie positions. Rotate them in for a few games until they are ready to start. Maybe on the outside for a game or two before they go in the middle.

March 16th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Kirk gets lost on a lot of plays.
You can see he tries to get around the guards instead of engaging and shedding. He just isn’t big enough.
He would be better off playing at slb where he could use his athleticism more. He needs to be playing in space.
March 16th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
why do so many of u act like emotionally unstable women when it comes to jr? its not your money so get over it!!!alot of guys arent ready to play at a high level now so alot of times its just competitive bs they say to reporters about being ready.the guy has been gettin in shape and now it doesnt matter cuz he’s doin what alot of u didnt think or WANT him to do. alot of u want him to make it easy for u to justify your ignorance. good thing the fans dont make decisions or nobody would play here.
March 16th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
So Vegas, you’re confident Bruce will get a fair shot. and if Russell starts, you’re fine with it?
Mike Lombardi is a credible source whether you like what he has to say or not. He was an executive there, afterall.

jhill people hate the guy and r just better off admitting it and moving on.now as for the lb’s, its just a matter of who is available.id be surprised if we took mcclain at 8 and im not sold on spikes slipping to us in the 2nd even if he does slide into the 2nd. micah johnson might be this years mbush type of mid rnd pick. ofcourse this is a great year to trade down but…….
March 16th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
Kool,
I do believe that Jamarcus is not guaranteed the week 1 start. A whole lot of things can happen before than. IMO, if he is just given the job again, he won’t be a whole lot better than last year.
Pushed by competition, maybe not starting until week 3 or not starting all the preseason games unless he plays lights out, will only make him better.
It only makes sense, and I am sure Al Davis is smarter than me. So there it is.
March 16th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
It doesn’t matter if JaMarcus is in shape or not, he has no pocket awareness and no touch.
DHB can’t catch, and Darren McFadden falls down if someone breaths on him.
Bush is the only one with NFL talent.
March 16th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
I’m only an old man whose followed the Raiders since 64′, but I can’t ever remember an open QB competition with the Raiders.

Bruce has the talent to be a good quarterback.
Davis is the worst drafter in NFL history. I could tell by looking at 10 minutes of film that Crabtree was a much better receiver than DHB.

I’ve yet to see anyone list anything JR does that is even adequate..much less at a top level.
Horrible footwork..which he had coming into the league..wasn’t weight affected. Advantage Grad
Horrible at reading the defense..as hard as it is to believe, the rolls around the midriff don’t affect the eyes reading D’s. Advantage Grad
Checking down, going through reads..doesn’t, at all. Fixes on one target, and that’s it. Advantage Grad
Touch on the ball…like a bull in a china shop..if he can’t rifle it in, chances are he can’t complete it. Advantage Grad
Pocket awareness..JR might be the absolute worst qb in the NFL at pocket awareness…has tunnel vision, and senses nothing around him..Advantage Grad.
Completion %..wayyyy down the list..Advantage Grad.
qb rating…butt ugly..Advantage Grad.
Throwing a hand grenade as far as you can, in a general vicinity…advantage Russell.
Now, losing 30-40 lbs?
Footwork might improve…what else would?

Uh, ok man. If you want to sit here and tell me you think Gradkowski is the better talent, then to each his own.
If you don’t realize what losing 40 lbs and improved footwork would mean to a QB, then I don’t know what to tell you.
9/14 with 6 outta 7 passes completed in his last apperance was not bad at all. If Henderson could have blocked his man a couple of times, well ….
March 16th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
Even his Bruce’s #1 fan Vegas can admit that Russell is the better player, and his boy is a long shot.

Gradkowski fumbled the ball at the same rate that Russell did, yet he has better pocket awareness?
Gradkowski and his 50% passing is reading defenses better? Yeah, right!
You Russell cliches need an update. Last we saw him, he was 9/14 and hitting Chaz and the WRs all over the place. Also won the Denver game. Most people say he looked way better at the end of the year. Phil Sims said during the Ravens game that he could easily see why Russell was the #1 pick overall and he wasn’t going to bash him based on what he saw during the game.
But if you want to stick with the Russell personal attacks, have at it.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
Personally, I’m afraid that Jamarcus is trying to turn 1 off-season’s “effort” into a 2nd contract and revert into an under-achieving, self-satisfied, lucky millionaire.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
RDT,
What are you talking about? Pretending to be a new guy? Doesn’t have the stamina to keep it up?

March 16th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
If JR doesn’t win the job this season, then we need to sign or trade for another QB. Bruce, Frye, and JP can be great backups but that is. We need an OT, and may need a HB & WR too.
I thought we drafted a franchise OT!
I thought we drafted a franchise QB!
I thought we drafted a franchise HB!
I knew we reached for DHB, but you get the idea,
March 16th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Russell has 3 more years left on his contract. You’re suggesting he will fake it for 3 more years so he can get a new contract?
Incredible theory!

2010 NFL Draft: Everson Griffen Would Be Step in Right Direction for Raiders
Danny Flynn by
Danny Flynn
Contributor Written on March 12, 2010
The jokes have been made. The losses have accumulated. The rapid deterioration of a once proud franchise has been witnessed by all.
Over the last decade we have watched the Oakland Raiders become one of the laughingstocks of the NFL right before our very eyes.
From bad free agent moves, to head-scratching draft choices, to questionable head coaching decisions, the organization’s shortcomings have piled up into a mess.
Yet there still might be a light at the end of the tunnel for Raider Nation.
Say what you want about JaMarcus Russell and Darrius Heyward-Bey, but the fact is that they are still very young and inexperienced.
Were we honestly expecting these two to come into the league and set the world on fire from the get-go?
These are two young men that possess a great deal of talent but are also extremely raw. Their games need refinement and they need to grow and learn about what it takes to succeed in the NFL as a player.
The light hasn’t come on yet, and it may never come on, but let’s at least give them a fair shake before we throw them to the side.
QB and WR are two of the hardest positions to come in and be successful at right away, especially for a bad team.
The Raiders have chosen these cards to play, and to give up on them now would be foolish.
In time, I believe that these two can be a solid foundation for a franchise on the way up. Because let’s face it, things can’t get much worse.
It’s better for Russell and Heyward-Bey to take their lumps early and learn from them.
The fact is that no matter what anyone says, they can be successful pro players. They are going to need the talent around them though. This is a team game, and one single player can only be as successful as his counterparts.
That brings us to this year’s draft and what the Raiders should do with the eighth pick in this year’s draft.
Building a solid foundation through the draft is fundamentally key for this team. There is talent in Oakland, but that talent is also matched by some glaring holes on almost every level.
The top players on this team lack true complementary pieces. Kirk Morrison has no one outside of him, Richard Seymour has no true threat opposite him, and the same can be said for cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.
These are all quality players and some of the best at their position, but they need accomplices to be the best they can be.
That is where Everson Griffen, the defensive end from USC, comes into play for the Raiders.
After the recent departure of Greg Ellis, there is now a hole to be filled and a need to give Seymour some help in the pass rush.
There may be no better pass rusher then Griffen in this year’s draft.
When Griffen is on his game, he can be scary and overwhelming. At 6′3″ and 270-plus pounds, he is an athletic dynamo. Everson simply possesses a size-speed-strength combination that few are blessed with. He is somewhat of a rarity.
One of his main faults, however, is that he isn’t always consistently “on his game.” He does have a tendency to disappear and play down to his competition.
When the bright lights and big stage come calling, though, he comes to play. It’s hard to knock a player for performing his best on the biggest of stages (Ohio State, Notre Dame). You could say that it is troubling that he isn’t always consistent against lesser competition, but that can be the case for many players.
Yes, admittedly he did not live up the high expectations bestowed upon him when he arrived at USC. Nonetheless, to say he was a bust in his college campaign would be an unfair exaggeration
After his freshman season, when he earned Freshman All-American honors, the next two years were marred by inconsistency. He did the show the all-important “flashes” though.
He showed flashes that would make you believe that if he can reach his pinnacle, he can be the next Terrell Suggs. That would seem to be his apex as a pro player.
At his worst he will probably be merely a serviceable starter providing an occasional spark as a pass rush threat.
So the Raiders have to ask themselves if Everson Griffen is the best fit for them at the No. 8 position.
Some will make a case that offensive tackle should be the way to go. I for one believe Mario Henderson has potential. He is an athletically gifted young left tackle that will only benefit from the teachings of Tom Cable.
Would the Raiders prefer one of the tackles in this year’s draft over Henderson?
Would it be Anthony Davis, who seems to be hell-bent on becoming this year’s Andre Smith as the outcast of the draft?
Would it be Bruce Campbell, who for every eyebrow he raised with his workout at the combine has raised just as many with his lackluster game film?
If they did go defensive end, could they go with the talented but largely unproven one-year wonder Jason Pierre-Paul of South Florida?
Those three don’t make much sense to me. I look at Everson Griffen, and he seems to make sense for this organization.
There seems to be a consensus for who the top six (Sam Bradford, Ndamukong Suh, Gerald McCoy, Russell Okung, Eric Berry, and Jimmy Clausen) will be to come off the board first, but after that no one is really sure.
Yes, the Everson Griffen pick would be second-guessed by some, if not many.
In the present draft culture there are so many self-appointed analysts and gurus that feel their steadfast opinions are valid and right. They probably will fail to see the logic in it.
Come draft day, it might not be such a shock to see Griffen so high though. Right now he would probably be valued as a mid to late first round pick.
He is a riser, and he is only going to continue to climb up the boards as the draft approaches. His potential and freakish abilities are too much to overlook.
It is those abilities that can bring tremendous value to this team. It can be another piece in the puzzle that many fail to see is actually coming together nicely.
I believe the nucleus is there; it just needs to be built upon and fortified. The blocks (Asomugha, Seymour, Morrison, Russell, Darren McFadden, Michael Bush, Heyward-Bey, Louis Murphy, Tommy Kelly, etc.) are there for a solid team to be built. The Raiders just need to stay strong in their convictions regardless of how many people want to bash them.
Al, let the so-called “experts” make their workout warrior jokes. You build a solid team, do what you feel is right, and have the last laugh in the years to come.
^^^^^^^^^^
Jeez….that guy wasted that much time writing about Everson Griffen??

LMFAO!
March 16th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
he could be cut this year and lose at least 6 million.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
he needs to do something now to make people continue to consider him as anybody worth caring about.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
YEAH….he doesn’t have the mental stamina, commitment, or ingrained practises to make the sacrifices on a consistent basis. You haven’t seen that yet?
——————————————————-
Oh, that’s what you meant by stamina?
I don’t know him personally, and I only see him on Sunday’s during football season. I wouldn’t know about all that.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
RDT,
Because JR was Lazy last year, and he didn’t do his Job. JR did very well his 2nd year, but he regressed this season due to his bad work ethic.
I still believe Jabustus can be a good QB in the NF, if he works harder.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
Why do you “support” the candidate who is least worthy of your support?

You’re over thinking it. All Russell needs to do is toss 2 TDs and get us a win opening night and most of the fans will be satisfied.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Jamarcus and McFadden are two of a kind to a Head Coach, they have enough talent to get you fired.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
i see the stupid moderator didnt want to post my articulate post of russell that was very supportive of him. i guess they dont like seeing him get any kind of love
March 16th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
You are under-thinking it….every player on the Raider’s roster wishes they weren’t saddled with him or had their chances of success resting on his shoulders.
You saw it happen on national TV last year, losing 20lbs will not change that, long-term commitment to being exactly the opposite of who he’s been is required and that is unlikely.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
rtd how the hell do u know if he has the MENTAL STAMINA? what kind of dumbazz statement is that? i saw dude get booed over and over but keep his cool about it. i wonder how many of u have the mental stamina to use common sense for a change.i have never seen so many dudes act so feminine about a player they dont like. from his bling to his haircut i mean really this is just beyond stupid.

Lets hope Jackson doesn’t change the whole freakin terminology of the offensive playbook. He can add his own wrinkles to certain offensive plays and add some plays to the existing playbook, but changing the whole terminology will cause the offense to take step back and start over from scratch….AGAIN!
March 16th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
“You’re over thinking it. All Russell needs to do is toss 2 TDs and get us a win opening night and most of the fans will be satisfied.” That is precisely the problem, Jamarcus will be just as satisfied with that and will fall back into the old familiar bad habits.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
I think we will trade up for Suh.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
RDT,
If you take all the personal stuff out of it, it’s pretty clear that Gradkowski and Frye are backups at best.
Russell’s best is not a backup. The question of if he will reach his so called best is valid. But to be honest, some of you guys sound like Donkey fans.
Why would a Raider fan want Jamarcus Russell to fail? The guy has addressed his flaws this offseason and the best you can come up with is he’s pretending so he can get a new contact?
LMFAO man!
March 16th, 2010 at 10:24 pm

Really? Every player?
Hilarious stuff man.
And what did I see on national TV?
March 16th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Armond,
I have never once said anything about “bling” or his “haircut”.
I know what a team is made up of and what each player, role or star, has to do to be successful.
Jamarcus is not showing any kind of knowledge of what it takes to be the QB of an up and coming team, let alone be it’s leader.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
O,
You draft stuff makes me want to take a ride to SD and smoke with you. You must have some bomb, bruh!

What does that have to do with your takes? I guess you were the man at one time on a team sport?
Does that give you the powers of analyzing Jamarcus Russell from afar? Your opinions are not based off of anything more than reading between the lines of the same comments we all see.

We don’t trade down, but Al will find a way to trade up if he really likes the player.
Suh is that Player. FREAK !
March 16th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
Again, I have never touted Gradkowski or Frye as my choice to be the #1 QB on my team.
I would like us to go get Kolb, or sign Jason Williams, or at the least David Carr, or even give JP Losman a shot, before going into this season with the status quo at QB.
But I’m not blind enough to have Jamarcus shine up a nickel and throw it at me pretending it’s a quarter to think everything is coming up roses.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
Did they quit on Grads too when he go knocked out of the game, I mean season?
So since Grads was a bit more mobile and could get away from Orakpo and Carter, the team was working harder for him?
Hilarious takes man. For real!
March 16th, 2010 at 10:35 pm

Jamarcus led the league in turnovers.
He is one of the worst quarterbacks I have ever seen, and I have been watching pro football since 1960.

I would like us to go get Kolb, or sign Jason Williams, or at the least David Carr, or even give JP Losman a shot, before going into this season with the status quo at QB.
——————————————————-
The Eagles want 2 #1s for Kolb.
Not sure who Jason Williams. Maybe the QB from the Redskins is who you’re thinking of. Redskins tendered him for a #1.
Carr? Really ????? How is he any better than Russell, Grads, or Frye?
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what you or I think. Russell is doing what the coaches and owner ask of him and has worked his way back to a shot at the title.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
So your “take” is that everybody on the team loves Jamarcus as their QB and everything else was bad luck or timing.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
If it’s such a laughable question, then why not answer it to prove that it’s invalid rather than just saying “LMFAO” and acting like it doesn’t matter?
I personally believe that you have to have played football (particularly above the HS level) in order to understand a lot of things about the game, the interactions between players, and the emotional context as it pertains to things… but then again, I played football above the HS level. Apparently Jhill thinks that’s meaningless in terms of evaluating players. I guess his experience from the sofa is just as good an educator for the game as mine on a field was, huh?

Thanks SteveAlford21,
That was kind of what I was trying to point out about how the rest of the Raiders feel. His BS doesn’t go over well in the locker-room, or on the road especially.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
Steve Alford is in the house, lol.
Oopps sorry for the LOL, and LMFAO!
The question of whether I played team sports or not is immaterial, IMO. And your twist of above a HS level is even more ridiculous.
So your take is unless you have had on the field experience above the HS level, you have no idea how to look at Jamarcus Russell and tell if he’s going to work out for the Raiders or not?
Amazing!
March 16th, 2010 at 10:48 pm

The interior line needs upgrading as well, but not as bad as the LB’s IMO.
With TK, Dick and Matt S on the front, you should be able to get another guy in there to add to that and the LB’s should not have that tough of a gig. Get in their and hit someone.
=====================================================
Vegas Raider,
Without a good D-Line the Linebackers are nothing. TK is not a difference maker and Matt S and Seymour hopefully can hold the edge. Therefore, the Raiders HAVE TO build up the middle of the line.
Right now the Raiders have TK, Bryant and William Joseph. The DT position is a bigger need than linebacker right now.
Notice all those big DTs that were franchised or tendered. Because the good defenses recognize their value. The Raiders better draft Williams at 8 if they want to begin rebuilding a defense that has been utter garbage since 2002
March 16th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Jhill, the ability to see whether players are giving full effort or playing with intent to do their best rather than just do the minimum required to “earn” their gamecheck IS something you can’t have unless you’ve got the experience. Can you properly evaluate whether a pole vaulter’s approach is 100% perfect if you have never done it? No. So now please tell me how the hell you think you can evaluate a team’s state if you’ve never been a part of one.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
I think we can trade our 1st, 3rd, and a player. (TH, Kirk, or Huff) I hate to trade Huff now, but he is a FA next year, he has a huge salary this year, and we drafted Mitchell in the 2nd. I also think Branch can play FS since he played CB at UConn.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
It’s not immaterial, you think all he has to do is make token gestures suddenly as being different and it’s all good.
Not true. He has spit in the face of all the un-written codes of team-mate and comrade, and that is not won back easily if at all. That’s why some great players have had to change “scenery” to realize their potential.
Jamarcus has a mountain to climb in the Raider dressing-room, and it takes more than losing some lbs.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
You only think it’s inconsequential because you’ve never done it, so you’re justifying your position. It’s just a rationalization on your part… and it’s flat-out wrong. You need to experience certain things in order to recognize them. You talking about football to other guys like you here is just like a person who was born blind trying to describe a sunset to another blind person… you’re going by things that you’ve never seen, experienced, or been a part of… and trying to describe and analyze it with others who are just as ignorant… basing your opinions on what others have told you or what you’ve been able to glean through your limited faculties.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
So for us non college team sport playing guys …
How is it that a team can allegedly quit in front of the fans on national TV, but not have the stones to address the problem during the week in practice?
I know that if what you accuse Russell of was really going on, it should be handled in the locker room and on the practice field. I don’t think I’ve seen ONE example of a team quitting on the field because they didn’t like another player.
Absolutely ridiculous take! And the fact that you try and make it out to be an inside thing that us non college team sport players can’t fathom has to be the craziest thing I’ve seen posted on this blog.
March 16th, 2010 at 10:57 pm
its pointless to even argue with some of these guys jhill. they have their minds made up and there is nothing worth proving to them.we wont know anything right now cuz its 2 early so why all the hate? if he came in without doing all of this u guys would still be biotching.questioning whether someone played team sports is ridiculous. what the hell does anybody have to prove to u about someone u dont like?
March 16th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
Stevie, do you know Me Kiper never played football? Nor did the best scout the world has ever known Joel Baschbaum. The editor and chief of ProFootball Weekly.
There are several scouts and bloggers and publisher of football books that have never played a down.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:00 pm

When did I say all he has to do is make token gestures?
In fact, I dispute the whole token gesture thing as non sense. The guy is working his ass off to get his job back. The COACH say he is doing what he is supposed to do. The coach that benched him that is. The team that cut Hall, Walker, Wilson, and other guys regardless of the $ is holding on to Russell why? Because he’s made some token gestures?
Ok man. If you say so.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:00 pm
It has to be JaDavis. I think the light has come on after the disaster last year. He represents the best chance to win. I’ve said this 100x before, if you don’t think JaDavis is the guy, then you have to draft someone
Gradkowski is getting the same type of hope that was poured into guys like Don Hollas and Josh McCown. These guys can’t win. Gradkowski is a backup player like Fargas, Warren, Green, Kwame Harris, Curry, Porter et al…..Raider fans and coaches seem to love these players that may have attitude but they can’t play.
Gradkowski is a backup QB and would be on the street if not for JaDavis and Al’s baffoonery this year
March 16th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
@Jhill’s question:
There is an unspoken code about “calling out” a teammate. You never publicly criticize a teammate, even if he has cost you a score, a game, or a season. You just don’t do it. Addressing the problem to coaches doesn’t help unless the other player WANTS to fix the problem. I’m certain that players on the team talked to JR and to the staff, but if you watched JR’s interviews (especially postgame interviews after he games in which he played badly), he never thought that HE was a problem. He would blame everyone and everything else, so for a teammate to address it in practice would be useless. The ONLY recourse that the team had to send JR a message was to stop trying on Sundays.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
Like? what are you guys, Cheerleaders?
He’s the best because I think he’s cute!
Frye and Gradkowski out-performed Russell because they worked harder for it, earned more respect from their team-mates and it translated into results on the field.
Nothing to do with like or dis-like.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
if u guys have experienced so much why the hell arent u coaching instead of biotching on a blog? aint it funny how these same people will criticize priest for this very same approach but its okay for THEM to do it! i think most fans on this blog have played team sports but u have no clue how far anyone has played up to.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
Priest,
Aren’t you one of the people who have questioned Kiper’s analysis? (for the record, I don’t like Kiper)
Anyway, I didn’t say that you have to have played to know anything about football, I said that you have to have played to be able to recognize intra-team interactions. Sure, Kiper can evaluate whether a player has skill, but can he tell when his team REALLY likes him or whether they’re just toe-ing the company line? I doubt he can truly evaluate team chemistry or differentiate it from an illusion.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
Armond,
As I have said many times they hate Russell and there is nothing that you can say or that he can do to change that. I firmly believe that even if he were to win a SB some of these haters will atill hate on him.
I’ve been saying all off season even since the time he was benched that he has been working with one goal in mind to win his job and he will not stop until he does. This kid is a fighter always has been and he’s a player much better than they want to admit.
They wave this Gradkowski flag because they hate Russell but this kid had been busting his tail to get it together. The only thing tha really concerned me was this story of him in rehab. I had heard many times about his escopades and thought that it had gotten to him but it turns out those fears were false. So we’ll see….
March 16th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
try to imagine the results Russell could have gotten if he worked as hard and had the same respect of his team-mates (given his superior skills and talent) in comparison to run-of-the-mill QB’s like Frye & Gradkowski.
Don’t believe for a second that doesn’t P-off the rest of the guys.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
so you’re justifying your position. It’s just a rationalization on your part…
——————————————————
Isn’t that what we are all doing, lol!
Of Steve. So have you played football for the Oakland Raiders? Are you really trying to speak on something you’ve never done before?
Have you played professinal football or been a part of a team as a paid player?
I guess you have the insight on us all here if that’s the case. If not, your one level up on us of team sports gives you so much more insight?
Ok man … Does my bowling league 10 years ago count as a team sport above HS level?
Spades games?
Dominoes?
March 16th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
And just to clarify, I said nothing regarding Russell’s progress this offseason or his potential to start. My comments tonight have all been about the ability to properly recognize things which you haven’t experienced.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
Jhill,
I played semi-pro for a Washington, D.C. team called the Virginia Mutiny (home games were played in Va).
Even though you are on a Bowling “team,” it is NOT a team sport. Having a partner for Spades does not make it a team sport, either… if you could even call Bowling and Spades “sports.”
March 16th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
Priest….nobody in a locker-room that wants to win gives a crap if your green or purple, they only care that you can help the team succeed. Shove your race-card up your A$$…it’s so last century.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
No one can evaluate team chenistry if you’re notin that locker room. If yu say you can you are a LIAR!!
No one outside of the locker room can even imagine hopw bad or good something is going on. NO ONE!! unless they are in that lockeroom on a regular basis.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:11 pm

There is an unspoken code about “calling out” a teammate.
——————————————————-
Really?
Well what’s up with the anonymous leaks to guys like Cam Inman?
And you are really telling me that players above college level would resort to quitting on the field instead of maybe letting him get pounded in practice?
That’s ridiculous!
Personally, I’m not going to even entertain this babble. I don’t think they quit at all. Came out of half time and led a FG drive down the field. Next possession, Landry makes a helluva diving pick. Good play by him. Next few series, Mario reverts to getting beat like a drum. And Chris Morris was so bad, he got benched for Langston Walker the following week.
Sorry guys. Not buying your “I played college sports so I can see things you can’t” logic.

March 16th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
In regards to the question of coaching:
I am too lazy and unmotivated in a professional sense to go into coaching. I have no desire to motivate others, that’s why I manage a tattoo shop and build computers for a living. I get to have a vast amount of freedom and pretty much do what I want to do as long as I accomplish what needs to be done by me. After getting out of the Army and playing football until realizing that my knee couldn’t handle trying to go to the next level, I decided to become lazy. This may have been a sad development, but at least I’m self-aware and admit the fault in myself.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:15 pm

Don’t believe for a second that doesn’t P-off the rest of the guys.
======================================================
Everyone should be upset about the way JaDavis has conducted himself. It goes back to a lack of overall leadership in that lockerroom. Remember when Greg Ellis was complaining about multiple players going out and partying before the San Fran pre season game. There appears to be a lack of accountability in Oakland.
But lets realize that JaDavis’ struggles DON’T MAKE GRADKOWSKI OR FRYE ANY GOOD. Those two guys are journeyman at best. Had Garcia not quit, then Frye would be working on his coaching career and Gradkowski would be on the free agency wire looking for a team to stick too.
If you don’t think JaDAvis is the guy, which is a fair position, then you HAVE to want the Raiders to bring in someone in free agency or high in the draft.
Gradkowski is just like Shaun Hill, JT O’Sullivan, Ryan Fitzpatrick….at his best Gradkowski might grow to be a Kitna type QB.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
RDT no one is calling those guy’s racist I’m calling YOU racist punk!!
Imagine my surprise.

Priest….nobody in a locker-room that wants to win gives a crap if your green or purple, they only care that you can help the team succeed. Shove your race-card up your A$$…it’s so last century.
——————————————————-
this about sums up the lunacy in here. if that was so last century why the hell isnt ben rothleisberger getting more heat for a 2nd rape accusation? why is tiger woods cheatin on his white wife a bigger issue than the number of times michael jordan cheated on his black one? not to mention several white athletes that cheated on theirs without all of the media drama tiger has faced.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Look guys …
Enough with the mine is bigger than your crap.
The bottom line is Chaz hates Russell, but they looked pretty damn good on the field together. Chaz had 4 or 5 catches from Russell in that last game, and he caught the game winner against Denver a week or so earlier.
You have players who are concerned with more things than they should be, as is the case with a lot of human beings. The bottom line is what happens on the field. If Mario Henderson doesn’t get beat like a drum so often last season ALL OF OUR QBS wouldn’t have taken so many hits that caused fumbles and INJURIES!
ALL of our QBs were knocked out of the games. Why are we not talking about Mario Henderson, Chris Morris, and Cornell Greens preparation?
March 16th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Priest,
You certainly CAN evaluate the lockerroom vibe without being in it… all you have to do is listen to the interviews and watch how players interact with each other in places where you CAN see them.
Nnamdi saying that JaMarcus wasn’t prepared for the games last season… and for the season itself… was a clear indicator that the most valuable player on the team thinks that he lacks motivation and commitment. Those statements are the closest that a player will come to calling another player lazy. The fact that Nnamdi said that means that no one is looking to JR for any leadership or guidance… instead, Nnamdi (and others) touted Gradkowski and Frye as veteran leaders from whom they sought advice. That is a clear indicator that the lockerroom belongs to Grads, not JR, and that chemistry for JR in the lockerroom isn’t good.
I don’t think that Grads is the answer, but he has more support than JR and it will take a LOT for JR to win the team to his side and fulfill his potential.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Jhill, Stevie doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about there are ex-Raiders that don’t have a clue what’s going on, on that team
I was talking to John Vella a week afo he has no clue. I spent time at the HQ today and saw several players that’s the only way I have an idea.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
again…i have never said Frye or Gradkowski is good, I have far different choices as who is the best choice as QB of the Raiders….and Jamarcus Russell is one of them.
But lots of changes need to occur and losing a few lbs is only the first step in a lot of them for him. There are also other ways to go, but the most convenient for us would be for Jamarcus to be all that he could be.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
If there wasn’t a code about calling out teammates, then the leaks wouldn’t be ANONYMOUS, would they?
——————————————————-
Hmmm …
You have guys like Nnamdi going on record and saying the guy wasn’t prepared and needed to work harder. Then you have the anonymous guys. You tell me.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
The locker room may belng to Bruce now, But it’s March son. Doesn’t mean a damn thing. By the time those preseason games get played we will be light years from where we are now.
BTW JaMarcus was recieved very well by his teammates today contrary to popular belief.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:26 pm
Armond,
Tiger taking so much heat wasn’t because his wife is white, it’s because he had such a squeaky-clean image and was the FACE of his sport. He almost single-handedly represented the sport of golf and had a pristine public image. If you really want to say that black athletes get more public scrutiny for missteps then tell me why Ray Lewis and Stallworth were able to KILL PEOPLE and then carry on with their careers.
Please explain this for me: If people hate black athletes so very much… then why do they wait for mistakes instead of just boycotting from the start or doing something to get more white players instead?
You’re just using racism to justify mistakes or failures of players that you like who happen to be black. I was pissed about us drafting JR from the start, but I’d be as happy as can be if we got Troy Smith, so I guess that makes me ra-… oh, wait… TS is black, too… never mind.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:28 pm
Bruce doesn’t own anything. The QB that goes into camp and performs in practice will get the role. Every player on this team has flaws. Who’s calling out JaDavis? I know it better not be anyone on the offensive line….Chaz Schilens, he needs to stay healthy, the linebackers (still missing assignments….about the only two players that could bring comments are Nnamdi and Zach Miller.
The rest of this team needs a lot of work. JaDavis may have been bad, but he sure didn’t get any help either.
DHB practically benched JaDavis himself.
Time for a new season and hopefully everyone is focused. Coming to the workouts in shape is a good first step!
March 16th, 2010 at 11:28 pm
all these comments directly relate to the “culture” that is referred to so often.
Nnmadi, Greg Ellis, Seymour, respected veterans like them can actually come out and call-out other players, as they should. The rest of the team is predominantly younger rookies and can’t do it vocally.
The major problem for Kell’s “last 7 year record” has been a lack of accountability for some players to the rest of the team and I think that’s been well-documented in the sports pages and blogs.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Okay, people… I have to run a middle-of-the-night errand and will be gone for about half an hour, so I’ll address any questions or comments when I get back.
Priest, I’m glad to hear you had another lunch with Al and gave another lecture to the coaches and staff. I hope the lessons that you’ve been giving Hugh about how to run an offense are going well.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:32 pm
The fact Tom Cable is not calling the plays anymore is a big improvement.
I also like the idea of Bush and DMAC sharing 95% of the carries and Hue Jackson calling the plays.
Running the ball effectively and calling competent plays should get us to 5 wins alone.
If JaDavis is focused, Chaz Schilens decides to play a full season for the 1st time since his sophmore year in college and Louis Murphy keeps growing…the offense should be ok.
Defense is a big question mark. Without a run stopping DT playing the middle, this run defense will continue to get smashed
March 16th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
So far, Jamarcus apparently is in fighting shape and that is good, and I am up-grading myself to cautiously optimistic, hoping for the best – preparing for the worst.
More importantly right now, we need to draft smartly and I hope Al and his brain-trust are prepared to do so.

=======================================================
Agreed. The draft is such a big question mark. Need to draft players that can play right way early. This team still needs a some starters.
No 3 to 4 year developmental players with sky high potential but very raw skills in the 1st round
March 16th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Russell, didn’t just lose weight he’s working on his entire game from top to bottom. That’s what he said he would do and that’s what he did. But these haters wont give him credit for anything because they want him cut. That way he can’t win the job back. That’s what they are afraid of seeing him out there playing well and getting raves for it.
But the kid is a fighter, always has been. He didn’t take getting benched lightly and it has made him take to changing everything he does. In the interview the guy sitting in the truck nwith him is Eddie Anderson. Eddie is a personal trainer and strength coach. Not only is he helping him lose weght but helping him biuld muscle mass in his lower body.
The upper body is for flexibility. When he gets to QB school he’ll be able to consistently apply the mechanics he learns. What happens to him late in games is he got tired and would lose technigue well this is so he can consistently keep his mechanics tight and deliver a much more accurate pass.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
steve u r the biggest tool on this blog outside of the trolls.there is plenty of evidence that shows that blacks get more heat than whites which has been the history of this country since its formation. u make excuses for it cuz people like u dont like to deal with that reality. u have no clue of things ive criticized jr for nor will i try to prove it to u. explain why big ben isnt catchin heat for these accusations like the brothas get when they are just accused of something. why do people steal when its against the law? why do people have kids before theyre ready? people do stupid sh!t regardless of how assenine it is, u know that.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
Priesttj,
To me JaDavis is doing what he SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING since day 1. ITs upsetting that it takes the Raiders 4 years to finally start giving this kid the attention he needs and to finally light a fire underneath him.
JaDavis is our only shot right now so I am very happy to hear all of this news. But its only a small start. He needs to outwork, outhustle the journeyman on the roster. He needs to master the playbook so that his potential can be realized….he needs to take Schilens, JLH, Murphy and Miller and have a passing camp a few times this offseason.
Its good to hear the organization is finally committing to developing their #1 pick
March 16th, 2010 at 11:49 pm
Hey Stevie,
don’t be such a hater my man, some can, some can’t it’s not my fault. But to say that every teammate can’t stand Russell is as far from the truth as saying he’s loved by all of them. They want to win and when he shows them he’s ready they’ll get behind him so fast it’ll make your head swim. He is ultra-talented and they know it. They also know who is more capable out of all the QB’s there. Ask any of them.

Horrible footwork..which he had coming into the league..wasn’t weight affected. Advantage Grad
Horrible at reading the defense..as hard as it is to believe, the rolls around the midriff don’t affect the eyes reading D’s. Advantage Grad
Checking down, going through reads..doesn’t, at all. Fixes on one target, and that’s it. Advantage Grad
Touch on the ball…like a bull in a china shop..if he can’t rifle it in, chances are he can’t complete it. Advantage Grad
Pocket awareness..JR might be the absolute worst qb in the NFL at pocket awareness…has tunnel vision, and senses nothing around him..Advantage Grad.
Completion %..wayyyy down the list..Advantage Grad.
——————————————————-
Gradkowski fumbled the ball at the same rate that Russell did, yet he has better pocket awareness?
Gradkowski and his 50% passing is reading defenses better? Yeah, right!
You Russell cliches need an update. Last we saw him, he was 9/14 and hitting Chaz and the WRs all over the place. Also won the Denver game. Most people say he looked way better at the end of the year. Phil Sims said during the Ravens game that he could easily see why Russell was the #1 pick overall and he wasn’t going to bash him based on what he saw during the game.
But if you want to stick with the Russell personal attacks, have at it.
=======
Ok..thanks..I will
Technically, not personal attacks..pretty much stating fact.
As far as qb %? and reading D’s?
Grad is at 55%..JR at 48% completion. Not what I mean, though, on reading D’s.
You don’t see Grad going through the progressions?
do you see JR doing that? No..not really…he fixes on a receiver, and that’s pretty much where he’s going.
Fumbled at the same rate as JR? I didn’t bring up fumbles, however, yeah, pocket awareness leads to fumbles, along with sacks…so ok..
Grad one fumble every attempts…JR one every 27..pretty close…BUT…one sack every 13 attempts for Grad compared to one sack every 7 attempts for JR..pretty telling there…right?
And if Simms really said that? lol…guy’s got the smarts of a Ritz cracker..because JR is but a few bad games away from being benched, and going down as one of the biggest busts of all time…
and that’s a fact.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:52 pm
priest i was thinking that was eddie. that dude was a bigtime hitman when he played. i noticed that russells legs didnt seem as powerful as they needed to be. i hope this is the 1rst step to him making plays with his legs cuz its been such a waste of athleticism by him playing like a statue. if he is in shape he is just as mobile as grads with better overall game. les miles said at the sugar bowl pc that if russ is in shape he will show scouts all of his skills besides the arm strength.

======================
“they know it”?? Wrong…he hasn’t shown ANYONE that he’s ultra talented..he hasn’t shown he can play at an NFL level…HE’S THE WORST STARTING QB IN THE NFL IN BOTH OF HIS FIRST YEARS AS STARTER…sorry dude, but even the players know who’s good, and who sucks.
and “ask any of them”?? they did…with Chaz saying NO COMMENT regarding what he felt about JR starting?
Says volumes..just as it does on players rushing to prop Grad, and his attitude, and his workouts, and his effort..NO ONE says that about JR.
And no, you may not reply.
March 16th, 2010 at 11:53 pm
Gradkowski, Orton, Troy Smith etc…etc…are all backup quarterbacks. I mean, why wouldn’t someone give up a 2nd rounder for a great player.
Please..JaDavis is the best chance the Raiders got..Gradkowski is a serviceable backup
March 16th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
SnB, It’s not like he wasn’t learning his craft, sometimes you guy’s crack me up. Russell needed to learn what it takes for HIM to play at this level just like everyone else. Some guy’s come in and do all the right things right away but they are in the minority by a large margin.
You guy’s just don’t get it, this kid is playing the toughest position in sports by far. Mst of these guy’s take this long to put it together IMO he is right on schedule. It takes the average great QB 30-50 starts before you see what you want to see. It just does. Go over the careers of all the great ones and you’ll see a common theme. That position requires years not months.

Oh stop…you’re putting it ON THE ORGANIZATION??
They’re supposed to hand someone 30 plus million..and then ACTUALLY HOLD HIS HAND?
isn’t the player supposed to have DESIRE?? Or is that on the organization also?
Isn’t the player supposed to WANT TO WIN? Or is that another team thang?
51 players know to show up in the best shape of their life, to keep their job, but the team is supposed to know that the 52nd is a lazy slob, and should baby sit him??
Really??
Most would say that’s ON THE PLAYER.
Where the team messed up (See team meaning AL DAVIS) is they didn’t make his fatass run laps every day when practice was over..didn’t make him come in on his day off to learn the playbook..didn’t demand he step up his game, or his ass is going on the bench..in that regard, they allowed him to coast…
thanks Al..you moron.
March 17th, 2010 at 12:02 am
You’re right about one thing…Grad is a serviceable backup.
And JR is below that.
Oh..wait…I missed the answer to my question of WHAT DOES JR DO THAT IS AT AN NFL CALIBER LEVEL???
Anything???
Even ONE thing????
No…not one thing…ONLY thing anyone can say is HE CAN THROW IT REALLY FAR…can’t hit who he’s throwing to..but boy..IT’S FAR.
lol…not good enough.
March 17th, 2010 at 12:07 am
Armond if I ever get the chance that is the 1st thing I’m going to tell him that disappoints me the most is he never runs. In college he was an outstanding running threat. Since he’s been at this level he never runs. This kid has shown maybe 40% of the talent that he has because he’s playing so cautious and afraid to make a mistake.
Whenever this kid actually gets comfortable with his game and starts really playing to his talent he is going to be awesome. The 1st part is getting his conditioning together so that he can play well throughout the game. So we’ll see…

They wave this Gradkowski flag because they hate Russell but this kid had been busting his tail to get it together. The only thing tha really concerned me was this story of him in rehab. I had heard many times about his escopades and thought that it had gotten to him but it turns out those fears were false. So we’ll see….
========================================
You’re SUCH A LIAR.

March 17th, 2010 at 12:20 am
Priesttj,
Coming in overweight, being late for meetings and not having the mastery of the playbook are not acceptable at any level let alone the NFL.
JaDavis did not do the things he needed to do last year. He didn’t get any help either, but he failed.
I wouldn’t be quick to crown him the next superstar quite yet. He still has a long way to go. But the 1st step is a good 1st step
March 17th, 2010 at 12:23 am
Richochet,
If I am investing millions of dollars in any person, place or thing….I am going to make sure that I am doing everything in my power to drive success.
Who was there telling him how to be a pro? How to take care of his body? Pushing him to be better?
That clearly wasn’t happening. Why not assign the “Mentor” in his 1st year…
The Raider organization is not known for developing players
March 17th, 2010 at 12:24 am
Okay, I’m back.
Priest, how am I a hater? I never said that ALL the players hated Russell, did I? Nope.
I said that he isn’t a positive force in the locker room and doesn’t have the faith and support of the team as a whole. That’s different than saying the whole team hates him. If you can’t understand that, then you aren’t worth my time.
I have consistently said that I want JR to be the best QB in the league (because he’s a Raider and has the potential to be the best, based on all his gifts). I’ve also consistently said that he has failed to do so in his time so far. Hopefully the progress that has been reported this offseason will continue and become what I WANT it to be. I love how you label me a hater for stating the FACTS of his performance to date. If I tell you that Michael Jordan’s stats were lower in Washington than I would like them to have been, does that make me a hater (in terms of MJ), too?
March 17th, 2010 at 12:29 am
I just read the rest of the posts that I missed while I was gone. Thank you, Richochet… THANK YOU… for reminding me of Priest’s lies. I was gone for a few days and completely forgot to give him hell about anything other than his weekly lunch meetings with Al and the entire staff. I bet Cable loves the tutoring sessions he gets from Priest.
March 17th, 2010 at 12:30 am
FACT: Both Gradkowski and Frye performed better than Russell last season.
FACT: Priest and Jhill will say that I’m a hater for stating the previous fact.
March 17th, 2010 at 12:31 am
SnB…considering the contracts given out lately, by that token McF and Bey also should have had mentors, right?
Point is team doesn’t know someone’s going to tank until they do. First year team had JR “learning”..an asst shadowing him for most of the year..drilling, training, reps, etc..what else can you do?
Second year JR comes in not as big as last year, but not tight..so wasn’t an issue at the time..was more learning the game, studying, and learning the position.
3rd year is when JR showed up a blob..so yeah…then the team learned he’s weak as far as self discipline..and now we’re where we are..3rd offseason, and JR at the precipice of stepping up, or being released.
I agree..NOW it’s perform or you’re out of here..and the team has a lot invested.
Everyone is 20/20 in hind sight..and easy to say now that the team should have baby sat him…but honestly?
that need for a sitter just rubs me wrong..because while you might need time to learn the craft..if you don’t have the desire?..the ganas?
No one can teach you that.
March 17th, 2010 at 12:39 am
Tell you what SnB, I feel much more comfortable calling him a star than I do Gradkowski. All I have to say is if Russell get sit together which I’ve been saying that I think he will. Beating out Gradkowski and Frye is damn near academic. Physcially speaking he is so much better than Grads it’s ridiculous. It’s just a matter of his knowledge of the game catching up with his physical talent. It will happen IMO it’s just will it happen as a Raider.
Moxy and Grit get you only so far at some point the physical tools need to be there. Russell has been a start at every level and now he needs t live up to that at this level.
Last year was last year as I’ve said many times it doesn’t make a career. We can dwell on it or we can look towards the future of this young talent. Your choice.
March 17th, 2010 at 12:40 am
Steve..Priest calls EVERYONE a hater who disagrees with him about JR, and Al.
Without fail.
He won’t discuss logic. He’s a waste of time, honestly.
Players KNOW TO KEEP THEIR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT OTHER PLAYERS..those that do speak up? Are almost always the top players on the team, and are comfortable in their position to actually even state mild observations…most wisely just state “no comment” or will blow smoke..because that’s the smart thing to do.
You don’t diss other players…if you do…actually CALL OUT A PLAYER? You’ll hear about it, from many sources.
When JR made his “I’m happy with my play. It’s the WR’s who aren’t where they’re supposed to be”???
Dumbest thing you can do is throw others under the bus…
Anyone here who thinks the team is behind JR isn’t all that bright..he’s done nothing to warrant their support.
HE MAKES MORE THAN HALF THE TEAM COMBINED..yet he’s the laziest guy on the team..AND SOME OF YOU THINK THE PLAYERS JUST GIVE HIM A PASS????
They don’t..would you?
Would any of you give a fellow employee who’s holding the organization back, who’s making more than any of you, who’s putting in the least effort? HELL NO…and don’t say you would..because if you do..you’re lying.
March 17th, 2010 at 12:43 am
Stevie, give it a rest dude it’s getting boring. You think Grads is great……so be it…whatever!
He said she said, you’re worse than a broad………period
March 17th, 2010 at 12:58 am
Priest, you’re a retard. I never said that Gradkowski is great. I said that he performed better than JR and that we have a better chance to win with Gradkowski than with the ‘07-’09 version of JaMarcus. I have continually said that I want an upgrade over Gradkowski, but until JR shows that he’s capable of fulfilling his potential, I pick Gradkowski to start.
Keep lying about what I’ve said, though… it really helps your case. (that’s sarcasm, in case you couldn’t tell)
Tell Al that I said hi when you have lunch with him tomorrow.
March 17th, 2010 at 1:01 am
Priest,
That’s the thing… I’ve never said that Grads was great or that he was the future of the franchise or that we should give him the reigns for good. I have simply said that he was better than Russell last year and that until JR improves or we get a legit starter, then Grads is the man. Somehow, you think that saying he was better than JR is saying that Grads is the man.
Either you’re disingenuous, you’re a liar, or you’re an idiot who can’t tell the difference between what I said and what you say I said.
March 17th, 2010 at 1:06 am
Priesttj,
I agree about the limitations with Gradkowski and FRye. Agree 100%
Those two are stop gap guys at best…not capable of everyday starters.
So let’s hope JaDavis and Hue Jackson can get it together because the Raiders need more playmakers
Richochet,
I agree with you that the need for a “Mentor” or “Minder” is unfortunate and isn’t afforded to too many people. But those contract values demand it. And yes, DHB should be made to live next door to Branch or someone
March 17th, 2010 at 1:07 am
Lol @ Priest ignoring the content of what was said and saying it’s “he said, she said” and “you’re worse than a broad” rather than actually trying to deal with what I said. Good job trying to run away from the statement and divert attention and shift the focus to something other than you being called out for ignoring facts and resorting to namecalling rather than having a valid argument. You’re too easy. Damn, I wish there was a way to ignore users on here… you always draw me into your petty little spats. Have a good night, liar and logical fallacist… I’m headed off.

Priest- I agree with you that JaMarcus has all the talent in the world. We all know that. That’s why he was the number one pick and gets paid millions of dollars.
The key factor is, what is he going to do to get it together. Ok, he’s lost some weight. Good start, but isn’t this a prerequisite for playing in the NFL? Being in shape is like a bare minimum.
We all know he has more talent the Garbagekowski and Frye. But it is immaterial until he does the work that is necessary.
March 17th, 2010 at 3:05 am
In addition, it’s not the responsibility of the fans to BELIEVE in JaMarcus. It’s HIS responsibility to show us that we have a reason to believe in him.
March 17th, 2010 at 3:51 am
Dikochet and Mistabrown nose are Republicans. You can tell by how angry they are at the world for not being as “great” as they are.

I’ve still got Russell’s back. Always have. I can think of one or two times I’ve been down on him, but for the most part, I’m thinkin he’s going to be good when he finally gets it together.
March 17th, 2010 at 5:44 am

Hmmm…a corporation owner at 26 and still uses internet blogs to call people asswipes? Shaking my head at that one, but…moving on!
So, with JaMarcus in improved shape and condition (according to an article in Contra Costa Times)…does he automatically get the start again?

March 17th, 2010 at 6:23 am
good morning AM crew!
Bills signed DT Dwan Edwards & MLB Andra Davis yesterday.
2 more players off the market who could have helped us in terms of run support
I sure hope we draft somebody to replace Warren!
FB Tony Richardson re-signed with the Jets too.
is our solution to the FB position really Lawton/Reece?

Wow only took Russell four seasons to get serious about working out oh well still quicker than Shaq, what is this year 17 for Diesel and he still never works hard.
March 17th, 2010 at 6:48 am

good point Hwnrdr. Agreed
who was helping JR work on his mechanics during the offseason?
Hackett, Tollner, Jackson, former safety Eddie Anderson? Danny Southwick?
March 17th, 2010 at 6:49 am
I would have taken Shaq Diesel at QB over JaWalrus last year!

not if his coaches & teammates can help it!

In honor of the 44th President of the United States , Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: ” Barocky Road .”
Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes. The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient. The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.
The cost is $100.00 per scoop.
When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but after you pay for it, the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you at no charge.
You are left with an empty wallet and no change, holding an empty cone with no hope of getting any ice cream.
Are you stimulated?
March 17th, 2010 at 7:04 am
I hope Warner was there with him helping him with his mechanics…oh well…I just thought that since he was in AZ…
Wait, oh yeah…wasn’t he photographed coming out of a burger joint while getting in shape? Like I always said…round is a shape…
March 17th, 2010 at 7:08 am
Kurt Warner? help JaMarcus?
Hwnrdr: JR is one of the best starting QB’s in the league already. Just ask Jhill, Debo or Priesttj!
Bruce & Charlie are scrubs. They’ll never be able to challenge JR for the starting job. He’s just that gifted. you know “the chosen one”

March 17th, 2010 at 7:27 am
Russell I guess is trying, but it’s gonna take a lot more than that to convince me he’s ready to play NFL football.
Dropping a few pounds can have you feeling better in both mind and body, but a serious commitment has to be made.
His immaturaty was astounding.
It’s going to be a long road for JaMarcus.
He’ll have to put in work and earn the respect of his teammates.
Gradkowski is his worst enemy right now. Late round draft pick who plays for (relative) peanuts – granted more now since his tender – and motivated and hungry (the good hungry).
March 17th, 2010 at 7:27 am

whats up LA to TheBay ?
roach coach burritos are the best!
I agree with your comments on Russell. the only good things we can say about the kid are hope & potential
his play on the field has been atrocious the past 3 seasons. diet & exercise for a few weeks or months doesn’t change what he’s done (or not done) in games up to this point

if “crash test dummy” is or was the best RB in Oakland why can’t he find work?

Somethin fishy around here! We still have Kirk, Thomas, and now Wimbley!!
March 17th, 2010 at 8:26 am
ray: Howard & Morrison haven’t signed their tenders, nor have they lined up any visits with other clubs
fishy? perhaps.
sounds to me like they want to test the market before signing the cheap 1 year deals in Oakland that might even make them backups. If we don’t add anymore LB’s in the drfat or free agency then Ricky Brown is the wildcard to unseat one of them. Norris & Nixon are longshots to unseat the other …
March 17th, 2010 at 8:27 am
In the interview the guy sitting in the truck nwith him is Eddie Anderson. Eddie is a personal trainer and strength coach. Not only is he helping him lose weght but helping him biuld muscle mass in his lower body.
——————————————————-
So much for the posse and hangers on. That was the same guy next to Russell at the TNT basketball game. Looks like Uncle Ray has been replaced!

I don’t know….I guess I’m just hoping for a 3-4!
March 17th, 2010 at 8:31 am
I can not and will not forgive JaLoser for the lack of effort and dedication he has showed over the last 3 years. JerryMac probably can because of the traffic JaLoser has generated on his site. If he leads the Raiders to the playoffs(LOL), I will accept him as a Raider but never will root or cheer for him.
March 17th, 2010 at 8:31 am
Best in the league? When did I say that?

Jhill: I went a little over the top on purpose bro
you know that. I’m still waiting for a valid argument on how he’s the best QB in Oakland based on production (not potential)

I can not and will not forgive JaLoser for the lack of effort and dedication he has showed over the last 3 years.

Since when did 1 off season turn into 3 years. Kiffin and Knapp went out of their way to say how hard Russell was working. First guy there, last to leave stuff.

He’s just a kid and immature!
March 17th, 2010 at 8:36 am

***
ray: I’m a big fan of the 3-4 defense myself!
but you gotta have the players & coaches to execute it and i’m not convinced that we do. Even if we add a NT & MLB high in the draft I’m not sure we have the right coaches to implement such a change or if Davis would give the coaching staff enough time to get it going. You always expect a few hiccups up front with a system or scheme change.
March 17th, 2010 at 8:36 am
Wait a minute……when I was his age I was taking care of business! Nevermind!!!!

*************************
LMAO!!! That was his younger brother. He goes everywhere with Jamarcus.
March 17th, 2010 at 8:37 am
RRS,
We all know the only valid argument is what happens on the field. He is the best talent (yes, potential) on the team.
His new room mate Eddie Anderson puts things right back on track to where Kiffin had the development, IMO.
March 17th, 2010 at 8:39 am
“We must be the STUPIDEST TEAM in AMERICA!!”
March 17th, 2010 at 8:39 am
That guy in the interview in the truck was his younger brother, and is barely 21 years old.
The guy in Phoenix had grey hairs and was probably over 40, and maybe bigger than Jamarcus.
Not even close to the same person!!!
March 17th, 2010 at 8:40 am
Jhill: give me the name of 1 other NFL QB who needed a babysitter during the offseason heading into his 4th NFL season.
and please don’t try to say that Eddie Anderson is Russell’s friend and is just doing it willingly for free to help a brother out.
It’s already been confirmed that Anderson works for Davis.
March 17th, 2010 at 8:42 am
Eddie Anderson is 46 years old and has no affilation with LSU.
You telling me a 46 years old man is going to be sitting shotgun manning the stereo, with a college hat on that he never attended??
LOL…..
March 17th, 2010 at 8:44 am
Jhill: Darrius Heyward-Bey has the most potential at WR. Does that mean he should start over Schilens, Higgins, Murphy or Watkins?
March 17th, 2010 at 8:44 am
Vegas,
That was Priest’s post first off.
But I’m looking at the vid now, have it paused, and there is NO WAY that guy is younger than Russell. I’m not going to say it is Anderson, but the guy has a LSU hat on, pulled all the way down. Can’t see if he has gray hair or not. But younger brother? Nah?
Older brother maybe? Another Uncle?
March 17th, 2010 at 8:46 am
Russell work ethic has bothered me but lets be honest we stunk long before he got here and it’s not his fault Dmac can’t break tackles, or hold on to football and Dhb is a project at best and last time I checked he doesn’t play D.
GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t watch the video now, at work, but when I saw it last night, I saw the LSU hat and was pretty sure it was his younger brother. When my buddy wakes up I will get him to identify brother or not.
March 17th, 2010 at 8:49 am
Jhill: give me the name of 1 other NFL QB who needed a babysitter during the offseason heading into his 4th NFL season.
——————————————————-
What?
Why is the issue of him needing a baby sitter an issue at all? I don’t really care about “how” he got in shape. All that matters is that he is in shape, worked on his mechanics, and is trying to get his job back.
All this other propaganda you’re tossing around mean nothing, IMO.
March 17th, 2010 at 8:53 am
but when I saw it last night, I saw the LSU hat and was pretty sure it was his younger brother.
——————————————————-
Because of the LSU hat, you concluded it was his younger brother?
If it was a Raider hat would that have made it Anderson? I’m telling you, there is NO WAY that guy is younger than Russell.
You’ve seen me in person. Do I look to be in my 40s? And I’m no physical trainer, lol.
March 17th, 2010 at 8:53 am
Jhill: if he needs a babysitter that means he isn’t self-motivated
$9.5 million isn’t enough to diet & exercise for 3-6 months?
Al Davis has to send a company employee to Alabama to make sure he’s not just sitting around the house playing Madden naked eating cheetos …
problem? I say yes.
March 17th, 2010 at 8:53 am
1st to get ther and last to leave. Does not mean he was watching film or lifting weight. Someone said he was there 1st to get his pick of the donuts or pastry and last to leave to finish Rob Ryan’s pizzas.
