Javon talks Raiders
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 at 7:32 am in Oakland Raiders.
Here are some Excerpts from an interview with Javon Walker passed along by Melissa Jacobs, a former KNBR AND ESPN producer currently editing a Web site called “thefootballgirl.com.” The key quote where Raiders fans are concerned is highlighted in italics:
On his tumultuous last few years:
“Everybody needs to know that none of that was out of any wrongdoing on my part. It was just a situation where I was at the wrong place at the wrong time….I feel like I got put through the test of things that could happen to people and I bounced back.”
On time with Raiders:
“I was in an unfortunate situation in Oakland where I got put on the backburner… A lot of people know that situation when you go to Oakland so it’s not to no surprise. It wasn’t the right situation for me. . . When I was in Denver I performed. I was in Green Bay I performed, so now you’re trying to tell me that now I’m in Oakland I can’t perform? I never really got a fair chance. I’m not the first athlete who went into Oakland and all of a sudden it looked like his talents have disappeared. We can all remember, you know I’m a huge fan, with Randy Moss. People thought Randy Moss was done and look what happens when he decides to leave.”
On Oakland fans calling him Bernie Madoff (referencing contract):
“It wasn’t my fault because obviously the Raiders gave it to me. Everybody knows how Al Davis is. What fans don’t realize is when I signed that contract I offered to give it back. I don’t take money just to take it. People need to give the money back and they said no. I didn’t go into Oakland like Madoff. Somebody has got to give it to you, and they gave it to me. Last year, they didn’t put me on the field so if anybody “made-off” it was Oakland. . . People were wondering why I wasn’t dressing, well you know what, I couldn’t tell you. They just decided not to utilize my talent the way it needed to be utilized.”
On his surgery in Israel:
“I’m 100% healthy, finally, since I left Denver. People are going to say ‘Wow, that’s the Javon we remember.’ I returned 110%. That’s why if I was such a bad football player they would have let me go during training camp; they would have let me go during the season; they would have let me go during the 2009 season. So if people can read into that, if I was such a bad player they could have let me go a whole season ago. They didn’t because I came back 100 miles per hour, and they saw that every day. It’s like putting a new engine in an old car.
On the future:
“Come the 2010 season people are going to say ‘wow, this is the kid we remember and I’m going to sit back and say, hey, this was always here.’”
On what he’d say to a GM:
“Javon has never been in trouble. Javon doesn’t have a criminal record. Javon has never been caught up in anything detrimental to a team as far as my character. I’m not scared of nothing. I’ll come in there. I’ll workout with the team. Run routes for whoever I need to run to because my ability is where I need it to be. I’m the Pro Bowler who was there in Green Bay. Whatever team thinks they’re in need of a top receiver, 30 years old, in his prime, they’re going to come get me.”
On if he’d be willing to take the league minimum/incentive-laden contract:
“Yes, the thing about football right now is it’s not really about the money. Even when I went to Oakland, I said I’d give that money back. I just want to play football and utilize my talent to help a team win the Super Bowl and everything else will take care of itself.”
On being a potential fantasy sleeper:
“Fantasy is about what have you done for me lately, and I haven’t done nothing, so I just want to mess up everybody’s fantasy league wondering where he’d come from.”
The final word on Walker?
He’s probably kidding himself about his skill level. The Raiders paid him somewhere between $14 and $21 million (the club says it’s the former) and got 15 receptions in return. Easily one of the worst signings in the history of free agency, trumping even the Raiders own ill-fated acquisition of cornerback Larry Brown.
At least Walker offered to give it back.

March 31st, 2010 at 7:37 am
Walker is a real stand-up guy, lol.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:37 am
Anybody think Walker Al hung onto Walker just so no one else could get him?
March 31st, 2010 at 7:39 am
Al hung onto Walker one extra year to cushion the salary cap blow last year.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:40 am
Off to get some food.
Have a great Wednesday everyone.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:41 am
That’s probably what it is! But, the funny thing is that he was healthy and we were still starting two rookies in his place? Still scratching my head at that one!!!
March 31st, 2010 at 7:43 am
Javon Walker sounds a lot like JaMarcus Russell to me for some reason …

I’m glad you follow salary cap things, Vegas. I have to admit, when I hear about player contracts and salary cap issues and things like that I just tune it out. It’s like funny money to me, and I’m much more interested in what happens between the white lines anyway.
Sometimes it is helpful to know something about it, though. Thanks.

Good Morning to the AM crew.
Rockstar…860ToddChristenson has been working ridiculous hours.
He was concerned about getting His pick on Your list.
I voluntereed last night to pass it along.
860ToddChristenson would like B Campbell OT Maryland.
Have a GREAT day fellas.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:47 am
wgaf what Walker says?

Raider rockstar.
Put me down for Russell okung.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:49 am
Bruce Campbell? Isn’t he the one that everyone hopes that Al doesn’t pick? Correct me if I am wrong…I’m just checkin’…

March 30th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Yes Len, but more taxing on the employees. At one stretch, we went 16 months of 12 hour days, seven days a week, no days off except for a funeral for a family member. That is real life.
=======================================================
That would be correct.
I clarified with 860, and Campbell is His guy.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:50 am
Considering how long we trotted DHB out there at the expense of shutting down an entire side of the field as a passing option, I wouldn’t doubt at all that Walker was put on the back burner. Jerry himself said in some of his practice blogs that Javon looked fast and was catching the ball well during the season.
Hard to believe that he wouldn’t have been more effective than Heyward-Bey.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:51 am
I stated yesterday that we should go for it with McNabb. I still want him but a writer stated that if there is a franchise tag system next year, then we would have to decide between Seymour and McNabb next year if they have big years and have not been inked to extensions. Interesting problem.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:52 am
In all due fairness, he may turn out to be “The One”…hey, I had high hopes for Gallerey (I think we all did, huh?)
You’re a good friend, Len!
March 31st, 2010 at 7:52 am
Hard to believe that he wouldn’t have been more effective than Heyward-Bey.
That is what I was saying…

He is the guy I really hope we take at #8.

texguy : who do you want the Raiders to draft in Round 1?
pick 1 player. any player!
March 31st, 2010 at 8:15 am
Madden: not cool! haha. there are 8 of us voting for Dan Williams and we’re hoping for more converts by April 21st!
would you like to change your vote from McClain to D. Williams ???
March 31st, 2010 at 8:16 am
Yes I would.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:16 am
Javon Walker was a GREAT practice-squadder that made $980,000.00 a catch. Get over it.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:18 am
alright Madden. got you down bro
thanks!
Dan Williams is a beast. you won’t be upset if we actually do draft him
March 31st, 2010 at 8:19 am
RRS,
I want to change my pick to Pierre Paul.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:20 am
forget Dez Bryant!
sign Muhsin Muhammad!
we need a vet mentor, not another youngster for Sanjay Lal to develop …
good riddance Yvonne.
I never heard any Raider fans call him Bernie Madoff, but that is hilarious!

Best draft ever would be:
1. D Williams
2. Bruce Campbell (50 bucks says hes still around)
3. Tennant
4. Spikes (if hes still available, otherwise another MLB)
March 31st, 2010 at 8:31 am
Rumors abound that Kerry Collins might be done in TN.
why don’t we re-sign Kerry Collins, Jeff Garcia & Jeff George? the winner gets to be vet mentor for Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter, Daunte Culpepper, Josh McCown or Tui (whoever wins the “open competition”)
boy. Al Davis can sure pick QB’s, can’t he?
every one of our QB’s since Gannon are on the market or retired … ouch
I know Jeff George was before Gannon, but he’s been begging for another shot in the NFL for like 4-5 years now
March 31st, 2010 at 8:35 am
I’m sure the McNabb rumors have caused Bruce to be more motivated and Jamarcus less motivated.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:36 am
Yes RRS, that’s who I want.
Maybe you can help SnB out and give me an example of a current 4-3 “NT” you’d like to see us pursue to play next to Tommy Kelly?
AND, who were NO and Indy’s NT?
March 31st, 2010 at 8:38 am
Jeff George hasn’t thrown a pass in an actual NFL game since 2001 (Redskins)
Seahawks, Bears & Raiders have given him a sniff since then, but no starts or playing time, etc …
but I bet he’s still better than JaWalrus!
George is only 2 years older than Favre. LOL
March 31st, 2010 at 8:40 am
I’ve been screaming for an impact player in the front 7 for a while now. I think Seymour has more DT says ahead of him than DE.
Shaugnessy and Pierre Paul would be 2 nice youngsters to have on the line, IMO.
William Joseph was resigned to play DT for us. A former first rd talent from NY, right? Wauffle connection there?
We have Kelly, Bryant, Seymour, and Joseph who will ALL get snaps at DT this year. Can’t see us taking a DT not named Suh or McCoy at 8.
Pierre Paul at 8!

March 31st, 2010 at 8:46 am
I hope we don’t take Pierre Paul. Guy can’t play the run. We need some big uglies on both sides of the line. What would be great is if the Raiders traded back, picked Iupati in the mid first, got Cody with their second pick, and maybe a T with the additional pick they acquire via trading back. Unfortunately, Big Al doesn’t like to trade back.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:46 am
The notion that Seymour couldn’t play DT next to Kelly at a high level is puzzling to me. What makes some of you think he can take on a constant double team from a LT and LG as a DE in a 3-4, but can’t handle a WEAKER G/C double team as a DT?
The guy works out against big ass TREES for crying out loud.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:46 am
Antonio Johnson & Daniel Muir plit time as the Colts NT.
Eric Foster was the UT with Fili Moala as his backup.
Remi Ayodele was the Saints NT.
Sedrick Ellis was their UT.
Anthony Hargrove subbed in for Ayodele on passing downs and can also play DE (like Seymour)
why is this relevent Jhill ???
March 31st, 2010 at 8:47 am
I hope we don’t take Pierre Paul. Guy can’t play the run.

Who?????
The part of the post you skipped was what made it all relevant, lol.
Now who is your example of a 4-3 NT currently playing on an NFL team that suggests we should spend the #8 pick on a DT not named Suh or McCoy?
March 31st, 2010 at 8:53 am

what are you looking for Jhill?
i’m a little slow today.
you want me to give you the name of a NT drafted in the Top 10 who made an impact in a 4-3 defense?
is that what you want?
March 31st, 2010 at 8:56 am
JHill:
Mel Kiper’s scouting report on Pierre-Paul’s ability against the run:
Still developing in this area. Needs to play with lower pad level. Struggles to generate leverage and anchor when teams elect to run at him. Will turn his back to the play against double-teams and is easily rooted off the line of scrimmage when he does. Still learning how to use his hands properly to disengage. Above-average burst and long legs give him a wide range. Takes proper angles in pursuit and can get down the line from the back side to get involved in the play. Long arms provide him with solid overall tackling skills and he flashes the ability to deliver violent hits on occasion.

TMZ.com reports with his starting job in jeopardy … and rumors continuing to fly about his ballooning weight … Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell decided to press his luck in Las Vegas this weekend.
JaMarcus played a little craps early Saturday morning at the Palms Casino Resort … where we’re told he rolled through a Jay-Z concert earlier that night.
Nice to see JaMarcus finally getting into the game for a change …
CUT THIS FAT LOSER NOW!! STUPID AL DAVIS
March 31st, 2010 at 8:57 am
Jhill: Remi Ayodele is a player. I’d trade our 2nd rounder for him in a heartbeat
he’s better than any NT in this draft not named Dan Williams or Terrence Cody
March 31st, 2010 at 8:58 am
Too funny RRS …
SnB was on here making his normal rants about the DT position last night. He was unable to give me an example of a current NFL 4-3 defense that backed up his claim of us needing DT help.
I referenced the Haynesworth signing and asked how that 100 million spent worked out for them?
Outside of the teams running a 3-4 defense, where is the example of a stout DT translating in the 4-3 to what you “DT GUYS” expect?
NO and Indy are 2 teams that run the 4-3 and all we can say about there DTs is “who ?”.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:58 am
Could Raiders release JaMarcus Russell if they trade for McNabb?
Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News reports JaMarcus Russell already has been paid most of the money guaranteed in his rookie deal. If Al cuts him before this season, he will owe Russell only $3 million more — and won’t have to pay the $6.45 million otherwise due Russell.
If the Raiders acquire Donovan McNabb, or any other high-profile QB, I think Russell would have to be willing to accept a major pay cut, or be released.
And Russell has said he wouldn’t accept a pay cut.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:59 am
Reasons not to get Mcnabb:
1. Mcnabb WILL miss a few games due to injury
2. Mcnabb only has 2 good years left
3. Mcnabb no longer has the escapability factor
4. Mcnabb does not want to be here
5. OL/DL in the 2nd round can equal long term success
6. Injury prone+less mobile QB+weak OL=disaster
March 31st, 2010 at 9:01 am
Remember when players wanted to play for the Raiders, now they avoid it like the plague. Sad, thanks Al Davis. Jerk off.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:02 am
Miller,
I don’t see in Kiper’s report him saying he can’t play the run. Still developing in this area? Of course. I can’t see him getting double teamed playing next to Seymour.
It’s all good if you prefer someone else.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:03 am
Raider Rockstar.
Put me down for Eric Berry. Al will want to move him to corner back…
March 31st, 2010 at 9:05 am
RR keep me down for Tim Tebow, I still think he is hot, and we need some Jesus love on this team to get us back in the spirit.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:05 am
FU Walker!!
March 31st, 2010 at 9:08 am
Jhill: NT is not a glamourous position.
Kelly Gregg in Baltimore (3-4 defense I know) makes players like Suggs, Lewis & Ngata look good. you never see him on SportsCenter or anything, so when his name is mentioned you say “who?” but that doesn’t mean he’s not an important players – just like Ryan Pickett, Casey Hampton, Vince Wilfork, Aubrayo Franklin, etc. Jamal Williams & Maake Kemoeatu were promptly signed in free agency (even though both finished 2009 on IR) and the Titans were quick to tender Tony Brown (Fat Albert’s replacement). Domata Peko is another underrated 4-3 NT in Cincy. Amobi Okoye in Houston is an up & comer. 4-3 NT John Henderson has been a beast for the Jags since 2002. Brodrick Bunkley is a stud 4-3 NT for Philly. the list goes on & on. say “who?” all you wish, because the casual fan won’t see the importance of grunts on TV as much as their coaching staff & fellow players do.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:12 am
Is their a chance Al doesn’t take Campbell just like last year with DHB you just know it’s coming and that’s why I never mind giving up our 1 pick rarely is it any good. Been reading the knock on Baluga is he has short Gallery like arms, their actually using that phrase “Gallery like arms” and will have to be moved to G just like Gallery.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:12 am
The one thing we do well on d is rush the passer, so Pierre-Paul isn’t a true need.
But you can never have enough pass-rushers. D-line is 2nd most important position behind QB, IMO.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:13 am
that can’t be the real MR.
he never talks this much football!
he’d betrying to get personal with people and latching on to the political comments made hours ago or even on previous Jerry Mac posts …

but JPP is projected the best “all around end” like Tyson Jackson last year …

Casual fan …. lol
Well again, the point was non 3-4 DTs, so scratch all those guys off the list.
Most of those 4-3 guys you mentioned were flyers just like the guys we have. AND, the talent around guys like Bunkley and Okoye is MUCH better than what we have.
Big John is a good example, but where was he drafted? And has he gotten his defense or team to the playoffs?
March 31st, 2010 at 9:17 am
LOL @ Dogg!
MR believes in man love & troll pudding …
March 31st, 2010 at 9:18 am
If Dunlap or Best is available in the 2nd, one of those two will be the pick.
Might as well write that one down.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:21 am
Vegas,
We rush the passer well when we blitz. Pierre Paul give you a pass rush from a 4 man line.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:21 am
Big John is a good example, but where was he drafted? And has he gotten his defense or team to the playoffs?
***
9th overall. and yes to the playoffs (2005 & 2007)
Jags have been one of the best physical run stuffing teams since he was drafted. Even after they let DT Marcus Stroud & MLB Mike Peterson go
March 31st, 2010 at 9:21 am
LOL!
Guy was in trouble in Vegas, but he forgot about that.
Where is everyone beating down the door for this guy? Al felt sorry for him and tried to help him.
If he really thought he was that good he wouldn’t be ready to play for the league minimum.
What a joke.

It was quite the tangent that he insisted on clinging to for most of the day. He refused to see that all I was doing was giving you props for standing up for your beliefs, regardless of what those beliefs were.

Thanks though, and if I was in the Bay, I would be there!!
March 31st, 2010 at 9:28 am
Jhill: I’ve answered all your questions
you can be dissatisfied with the answers if you like, but there is a real need for a nose tackle in Oakland.
by the way, Maake Kemoeatu, Domata Peko, Tony Brown & Remi Ayodele did not play for 3-4 defenses, so they shouldn’t be discounted. and the talent around Bunkley & Okoye isn’t that superior to the talent that could potentially be around Dan Williams or Terrence Cody, so you can’t discount them either …
I think a really good NT could transform this defense into a Top 10 overall unit, but thats just my opinion. agree to disagree if you like
March 31st, 2010 at 9:28 am
What a joke Al Davis is. Geezus Krist he loves to give away money for nothing.
Prima fascia evidence of his incompetence.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:31 am
I agreed with you on a guy like Henderson. I don’t think Williams, Cody, or any of those DTs will have that type of impact.
Without question Seymour will play DT with Kelly on 3rd down. Bryant is going to get a lot of snaps at DT as well.
I just don’t see where #8 = DT

March 31st, 2010 at 9:33 am
I just don’t see where #8 = DT
***
for the record, I don’t think Al Davis will draft Dan Williams or Terrence Cody. I just think that he should.
If you look at Ricky’s poll, I think Al Davis will draft Bruce Campbell at #8
and if Nnamdi Asomugha gets traded somehow, then Joe Haden & Kyle Wilson are definately in play.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:37 am
T Cody is overrated, and so is Dez B. IMO
March 31st, 2010 at 9:38 am
Suh is overrated, and so is legalizing mary jane. IMO
March 31st, 2010 at 9:38 am
I also like K Wilson more than Haden. He looked better at the combine.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:40 am
I think Al Davis will draft Eric Berry if available, no matter who is on the board. Even if Suh falls to us.
The will draft for the OL in later rounds.
I have no clue what we will do with our 2nd round pick. Hopefully a DT but who knows.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:41 am
What?!?! I don’t care for Suh, but you keep Talking crap about MJ and we will have a problem sir!!!

TMZ and all of these internet sites know the best way to boost traffic (and thus ad $$$) is by posting something related to the Raiders. The fans and the haters come out just to post comments.
PFT does this all the time.
People are still into the team, even though the team is looking like Darth Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi
March 31st, 2010 at 9:43 am
Madden:
Eric Berry & Donovan McNabb in the first 2 rounds would be WAAAAAAYY better than DHB & MM last year!

I’d still rather have Williams in RD1 & Campbell or Brown in RD2

March 31st, 2010 at 9:45 am
Oh, I am fine with us drafting Berry. No way we get McNabb, its just a stupid rumor that got the raider tag.
I could see us grabbing Campbell if he falls to us round 2. But if he doesn’t I am not quite sure where he will go. Prolly some guy no one has heard of.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:46 am
I think 4 cadillacs (Okung, T. Williams, Davis & Bulaga) , Iupati and Pouncey will be the only O-Lineman selected in Round 1 this year …
Campbell or Brown might be taken near the bottom of RD1 or the top of RD2, but not both.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:46 am
I’m getting tired of all these players using the dysfunction of the Raiders as they try to get over.
Add Walker to MeAngelo, Sweigert, Gibril Wilson, etc…
Until the team starts winning, this is what will happen.
I still think Jamarcus has people in his ear telling him how great he is and all his troubles are due to playing for the Raiders
March 31st, 2010 at 9:46 am

Doesn’t matter the damage has been done…old man Al and his stupid cronies ie Herrera, Trask, have already successfully divided and alienated the fan base and if they are really considering trading for McNabb or Rosenfels, then the old man must be getting those angry phone calls from season ticket holders saying either better decisions are made and Juggs Russell goes or they go.

He is joking right?, did not have a chance?. My 8 year old if let to play with the Raiders would have made more catches than this guy. The dude is a real Space Cadet and let me give him a News Flash, he is not now or has he ever been a quarter of a Randy Moss.
Al Davis has had trouble of late with regards to players because they have went the way of todays society in general. May have talent but no heart or courage, like all the girly men that the country is growing today. Ever wonder why women are turning to themselves in such large numbers today, way to many girly men.
When you are stuck behind JLH & DHB a rookie and they even played that white kid in front of you, you are garbage. He is all mouth as he was in camp last year telling all that would listen he was the second coming, what he have 1 catch?

DMAC: I don’t blame Walker for the contract he was offered.
I blame him for going to Vegas and spraying champagne on everybody and flashing bling after getting his big money deal (which lead to his beat down). especially after his buddy died in his lap a few years ago
and I blame him for getting surgery in Isreal without telling anybody or consulting with the Raiders beforehand.
so his “Everybody needs to know that none of that was out of any wrongdoing on my part” line is crap imo
Having said all that, if he restructured his contract and was healthy last year he should have played ahead of 2 rookies and a shell shocked Higgins. and ESPECIALLY Todd Watkins!

That Rick James song is some classic old school funk. I like the Luniz, from Oakland, and I am a huge fan of E40 who appears on the “5 On It” remix. He just released 2 cd’s yesterday, including this song which is destined to be a hit, at least with you!
worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhSe4iNvS8T76HU8u2
the hook gets a little annoying but E40’s verses on money! You have to hear it…

THIS is what is disgusting to me. I’m not an Al apologist, but how you gonna talk bad about the man that kicked you down major $$$ and then offered support while you were going through some hard times?
=================================================
His pride and football reputation is at stake. He’s gonna defend that at all costs. It’s about more than just money. He wants to play the game. This team kept him on the bench when he felt ready to go. I can’t say that I blame him for being upset considering that the team staunchly supported rock hands Darrius “please don’t hit me” Heyward-Bey despite his terrible production. Meanwhile, Walker is on the bench just waiting to play. Also, consider all the effort he put in to get right. And from some of the media’s accounts, he looked pretty good in training camp.

I haven’t done any research into the procedure, but maybe it isn’t legal in the US. Based on his description, it sounds like they “grew” some cartilage and placed it in his knee. Did they use stem cells to do it? Is there a Javon clone in a vat of goo somewhere?
It sounds better than micro fracture, but it also sounds a little shady and they needed someone of his intellectual capabilities to try it out….okay, I’m wrong for that

Well, this won’t help him. “I don’t say anything wrong to nobody. I’m friendly. This here is too far,” Bryant said. “Even if I did forget my cleats, what do that have to do with me playing football? Y’all don’t want me to go to the NFL or something? It is going to happen. God blessed me to have this ability to play this game. I feel like I’m going through the same situation Randy Moss did.” Bryant also defended Pacman Jones. “Why down talk the man,” Bryant said of Pacman. “The man did everything right.”

it’s nice that Javon feels so charitable toward himself and that he understands his blamelessness in any regard.
I’d guess since it’s Easter Week and Walker feels so good about things that he will donate his stolen wages in Nnamdi-esque fashion to help out less fortunate inner city kids and the down-trodden of far flung places.
Anyway, last year’s paper bag ugly offense wasn’t going to look like Miss Venezuela even if the greatness of Javon Walker was on display..

1. Take him
2. Make a trade with someone and get more early Rd picks.

UCLA DT Brian Price reportedly looked “sloppy…and a bit out of shape” during position drills at the Bruins’ Tuesday Pro Day.
The Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year has not had an outstanding spring, also failing to crack 5.10 in the forty-yard dash at the Combine. Observers reportedly noticed Price’s “poor body conditioning” on Tuesday. SI’s Tony Pauline still expects Price to be taken somewhere in the first round, likely late.

after years of fan torture the play at safety is fine.
CB is fine.
OLBs are okay.
need a solid MLB and a tank in the middle of the line.
I think the unit in year two of the Marshall plan could be a force if they had some reason to be (see: back-breaking shoulder slumping spirit crushing lack of production by the Raider Offense).
Hue Jack! Hue Jack! Hue Jack!
March 31st, 2010 at 11:30 am
I guess they’re banking on Shaunessy. Still, the Raiders can use all the players like Ellis they can get.
I remember they threw out Justin Miller last year for a pig in a poke.
March 31st, 2010 at 11:30 am
Greg Ellis wasn’t traded. He was cut
due to make 2.5 million this year and the youngster Matt Shaughnessy was very impressive at DE.
Ellis can still be re-signed later and probably for a lot less money. nobody wanted him last offseason and nobody wants him this offseason either apparently. mainly due to age & injuries
March 31st, 2010 at 11:30 am
I’ve been at spring training the last couple of weeks.I thought we released Ellis.Did I miss a trade?
March 31st, 2010 at 11:31 am
We traded Ellis for some cobwebs. Seriously I like Ellis
March 31st, 2010 at 11:31 am
We have 2 stand up guys;
1. Rich Seymour
2. Bruce Grads- Not the best QB but a real leader.
All the rest are imposters, and suspects…
March 31st, 2010 at 11:32 am
Justin Miller didn’t look as good as Nick Miller returning kicks in preseason last year because he had TURF TOE!
We should have kept Justin Miller and waited a few weeks for him to heal instead of keeping Nick Miller and waiting 16 weeks to place him on IR!
March 31st, 2010 at 11:33 am
No.
We traded Ellis for some of Luke’s syringes.
March 31st, 2010 at 11:34 am
Oh yeah that too!
March 31st, 2010 at 11:34 am
Can someone please if you can name another stand up guy on this team….
March 31st, 2010 at 11:34 am
We got a good deal!
March 31st, 2010 at 11:35 am
Shaunessesy may be all that, but we don’t know yet. He was spot played last year. Ellis had 7 sacks, and didn’t make excuses about losses.
March 31st, 2010 at 11:35 am
Thec: what about Nnamdi Asomugha, Zach Miller, Robert Gallery & Michael Huff?
Tyvon Branch, Trevor Scott (at WLB) and a healthy Chaz Schilens were pretty good too!
March 31st, 2010 at 11:35 am
Murphy, MIller, Nnamdi= stand up guys IMO

trade all picks to the Lions and then choose Dez Bryant at #2.
then every play call in the huddle would be mumbled nonsense between JaMarginal and Dez.

1. Take him
2. Make a trade with someone and get more early Rd picks.

Depends how big the offer is to trade down.
If Suh was there at 8 though it would be VERY hard to pass that man beast up!
Take SUH!

I think DHB would be better off as a male cheerleader. He can toss the Raiderettes around, it will be less contact for him to worry about. He will have to take a pay cut in his new position.

Hey Krappy, I’ve got a great idea – why don’t you let Greg Ellis live in that luxurious town home you’re listing?
That way he can rehab his knee and be close to the stadium for meetings with Al to discuss his new and improved contract!
Krappy, after all your whining and complaining about Al, I love how your first EVER solution is to bring back an over the hill vet with a bum wheel to fix our defensive line problems.
I just hope the “pending” sale of the town home doesn’t get in the way of Mr. Ellis’ move in plans!

I think DHB is a good kid. So am I, does that mean I will be a good football player? obviously not. I have nothing against him and think he has a good attitude. Unforunetley I don’t believe in his skill set. (even with time) on the other hand L.Murphy will grow into a strong role with the Raiders, he’s a football player.

Thec: to be fair, I wanted Crabtree last year (not just “if we draft a WR” either. Like Dan Williams this year, Crabtree was my pick last year)
DHB was the 6th best WR in his draft class, but at least WR was a position of need and Al Davis drafted 2 of them.
All I’ll say about DHB is this… wait and see what he looks like with another year under his belt and a competent QB behind center

We haven’t had a real leader since Gannon. Even if some of the players hated him for pushing them and demanding greatness doesn’t mean they didn’t follow him on Sundays.

March 31st, 2010 at 11:51 am
KK- if no one else speaks up on offense, why won’t Murphy be heard? (with possible exception of Mcnabb/Grads) I can see him getting pumped for games and in turn getting teammates inspired. just sayin

I know DHB is a bust of epic proportions but I’m praying that he turns out to be “at least” our version of Robert Meachem who is an effective slot receiver.

DHB is not a bust-at least not yet.It takes a few years to see how a player pans out before he can be called a bust.It wasn’t his fault he was picked too early.Lets give him a few years before proclaiming him such a huge bust.
March 31st, 2010 at 11:59 am
Well because Billy Joe Hobert was throwing more picks than completions LOL. Also Jeff Hostetler was a much better quarterback than people gave him credit for. Jeff Hostetler had Harvey “The Neck” Williams at running back and only Tim Brown at WR. James Jett was only a deep threat and who remembers old Daryl Hobbs? We as a team had no WR corp. Plus the offensive line sucked. Jeff Hostetler could’ve took us farther than a wild card berth if did not have 33 pound head Art Shell and IHOP Tom Walsh
March 31st, 2010 at 12:00 pm
I can’t say I have lost hope for DHB. I never had any hope for DHB, so I guess I cannot say I lost any.
March 31st, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Thanks RR
He seems a lot like Meachem. But Meachem turned out to be one of the most consistent deep threats at the slot receiver position.
March 31st, 2010 at 12:01 pm
DHB was only an average player in college.
March 31st, 2010 at 12:01 pm

One NFL Scouts opinion of Jimmy Clausen
The source ended with a prediction regarding Clausen’s prospects.
“On draft day McShay will look like a fool because whether or not you like Clausen as a person he is very talented,” the source said. “He has more training and game time in a pro system than any quarterback in the draft. His improvement from ‘08 to ‘09 was tremendous. If Notre Dame had a defense, Charlie Weis would still be there coaching. Offense was not the problem. I will agree that Clausen may have some Azzhol in him but he is extremely talented. He has a strong arm and is very accurate. Plus he has played a lot in a pro system.”
…………….
If he is really all that, Davis should draft this guy at #8

(03-30) 15:59 PDT Santa Clara, Calif. (AP) –
Alex Smith and Michael Crabtree walked together step for step through the San Francisco 49ers’ locker room Tuesday after the completion of two days of organized team activity practices.
It’s the kind of unity that’s developing rapidly between the team’s starting quarterback and the talented young wide receiver.
Their rapport was even more apparent on the field during the previous two practices. The 49ers began 11-on-11 team drills Monday with Smith completing passes to Crabtree on each of the team’s first four plays, and that connection continued throughout the two days.
“The more we work together, the better we get,” Crabtree said Tuesday. “We still have a long ways to go, but this offseason we’re going to put the icing on the cake.”
The 49ers have not had a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver since Terrell Owens left the team after the 2003 season. But Crabtree, the team’s heralded 2009 first-round draft pick, is making quick progress toward becoming San Francisco’s new go-to guy.
After missing all of training camp and the first five games last season due to a contract stalemate, Crabtree was in San Francisco’s starting lineup a week later for his NFL debut and was the team’s most productive wideout by the end of his rookie year.
Crabtree finished his first season with 48 receptions for 625 yards and a 13.0-yard average.
His reception and yardage totals each were the fourth-best in franchise history for a rookie wideout, and his 56.8 yards receiving per game led all NFL rookie receivers.
Crabtree’s quick growth has carried over to the beginning of spring workouts, where he has become a central figure in the team’s passing attack.
“This is really kind of the start of it all,” Smith said. “It’s nice to have Crab in this time of year and be able to really be on the same page and have that communication, to be able to trust that we’re going to be seeing the same thing, reacting to it, and we’re both making the same adjustments and those types of things. There’s a lot to look forward to.”
Crabtree is looking forward to having an entire offseason to work with the team and learn his craft. He wasn’t allowed at the team facility during his contract impasse last year, missing 57 practices, four exhibition games and four regular-season games before finally joining the 49ers on Oct. 7. He then sat out San Francisco’s Oct. 11 game against Atlanta before getting on the field.
He’s making up for lost time this spring. Already entrenched as a starter, Crabtree now is working to take his game to the next level.
“When I first got here last year, it was all about cramming a lot in during a little amount of time,” Crabtree said. “Right now, we have the time, and I’m just taking it step by step. Every day I’m going hard trying to learn something new and get better.”
Crabtree’s style and ability already have made an impression on backup quarterback David Carr, who joined the 49ers as a free agent this month.
“Crab kind of reminds me of the guy I played with in Carolina, Steve Smith,” Carr said. “That body frame, able to really control what he’s doing with his body, kind of running at the pace that he needs to run at. You never feel like he’s out of control when he’s running. He knows exactly what he wants to do with his body.”
Crabtree’s emergence gives the 49ers three young and inviting targets for the team’s passers.
Fifth-year veteran Vernon Davis made the Pro Bowl last season after tying an NFL record for tight ends with 13 touchdown receptions, and third-year pro Josh Morgan led the team’s wideouts with 52 receptions while settling in nicely as the starter opposite Crabtree.
But as Crabtree continues to catch on quickly, it appears his best is yet to come.
“I’m working hard to be a big part of this offense, and I even take my playbook to bed,” Crabtree said. “Me and Alex are really going to get it in this offseason. We’ve got a lot of things ahead of us.”

Jamarcus Russell and the pizza delivery guy walked together step for step through the Oakland Raiders’ locker room Tuesday after the completion of two days of organized team pizza parties.

quick heads up on McNabb….I have been trying to figure out who were the people at Raider H/Q that denied the rumors…..
I have a good contact in the BayArea media and I was just informed that the people who denied the McNabb deal talks are legit folks at Raider HQ. We are not talking Herrera here.
If you listen carefully in all the rumors…you will hear people say the Raiders FIT the profile for this trade due to their draft pick and their need at QB. You never heard that someone confirmed or seen an offer has been made. Nor have they confirmed that talks are underway. Everyone including shefter says the Raiders are in the lead but no one is on record of confirming an offer has been made.
Personally, I think Al is too stubborn to admit Russell was a mistake IMO. We all know he sucks but only Al makes the decision. it is what it is.

JaMarcus has great chemistry with the pizza delivery guy!

That’s good that the first home preseason game will be week 3.
By that time, Bruce will already have established his hold on the starting gig, that way Jamarcus doesn’t have to get his pants booed off him as he is trying to win the gig. He will probably already have lost the “competition” by than, so nobody will care as he slugs around the second half of the game.

Texas QB Colt McCoy completed a perfect 58-of-58 passes at the Longhorns’ Wednesday Pro Day.
The Lions and Rams were the only two teams not represented on UT’s campus. McCoy, throwing to Jordan Shipley and current Bengals WR Quan Cosby, among others, reportedly exhibited arm strength inferior to Sam Bradford’s. NFL.com’s Gil Brandt did observe that McCoy “had really good feet and moved around well while throwing the ball.” The athletic, if diminutive and weak-armed quarterback will appeal to teams that utilize short-passing offenses.

Kool Kell,
Alex Smith has worked for four different offensive coordinators since coming into the league. This year will be the first that he’s worked under the same coordinator for two consecutive seasons.
JaMarcus is in a similar situation. The difference is that Alex Smith is working, and JaMarcus Russell is overweight and playing craps and going to concerts in Las Vegas.
The color of his skin doesn’t mean jack. Smith may not have as much talent, but he’s not wasting the team’s money, either.
March 31st, 2010 at 1:01 pm

March 31st, 2010 at 1:05 pm
Kell: I’ve been calling for the Raiders to trade our 2nd rounder for Donovan McNabb since his name first came up.
I don’t think Russell sucks because he’s black. I think he sucks because he actually sucks!

(Here’s you azzhole leader)
In a phone interview Wednesday, Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen defended his leadership skills, which have been criticized by ESPN’s Todd McShay.
“I’m a pretty good football player and a great leader,” he said. “If I was as bad of a leader and as bad of a teammate and person that (McShay’s) portraying me to be out there, I don’t think anybody would have voted for me as a captain. There are just a lot of things (McShay) says that I really don’t get. But that’s just another person who really doesn’t know who I am.”

People should just drop race. Except for Al Davis, of course. He should continue to waggle his minority hiring in everyone’s faces. But everyone else should just drop it and move on.
March 31st, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Look, I want JaMarcus to succeed as much as anybody, but there is just too much evidence to suggest that he doesn’t care whether he does or not.
Blame Al Davis if you want to, but Al hired one of the most repected QB coaches in the business to work with JaMarcus. Nobody has banned the kid from the facility. Nobody has banned him from the film room. Nobody is forcing him to gain weight and not work out in the offseason. Nobody is forcing him to show up for camp out of shape. He is doing these things all on his own.
I don’t give a rat’s ass what the guy wears, nor do I care what color his skin is. I care about what he does on the field, and so far he has not demonstrated that HE does. If he did care I’m pretty sure the results would be different. Do the Raiders have a lot of work to do putting the pieces together to field a competent offense? They sure do, but JaMarcus Russell is doing less than nothing to help that situation, when in fact he should be out front setting an example. He signed the contract, and with that comes responsibility. I haven’t heard anything about his checks bouncing. Time for him to live up to his end of the deal.
March 31st, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Walker by all reports and I believe even his own admission entered the 2008 season unmotivated and out of shape. He was given a chance to play but never produced. He only had 1 good season in Green Bay and 1 good season in Denver. Yet it’s all the Raiders fault he sucked. Sure.

Shaun Hill & J.T. O’Sullivan played exclusively at QB for the 49ers during Smith’s 4th NFL season – 2008.

March 31st, 2010 at 1:19 pm
That’s right, Chris. Al gave him an opportunity. That’s what the successful owners in the league do. They don’t necessarily concentrate on getting the best players and winning, they’re more into giving players’ opportunities. Al gives opportunities. And these players don’t step up and become the great players they never were to begin with. It’s their fault.

Citing “several NFL sources,” the NY Daily News reports that the Giants are high on Alabama ILB Rolando McClain.
The G-Men have a need at middle linebacker, and McClain is a Jeremiah Trotter-type thumper who’d fit well in New York’s Eagles-like defense. McClain, though, may not make it past the inside linebacker-needy Broncos at No. 11.

I think he’s talking about the fact that every time someone critcizes JaMarcus Russell he automatically assumes that it’s because JaMarcus is black.
While that element does no doubt exist on this blog, there is also a significant number of people who don’t care about the color of his skin and wish he would pull his head out of his ass and start acting like an NFL quarterback by preparing physically and mentally to play the position and by leading his team by that example.
Kell is absolutely dead wrong when he attaches race to every single negative comment about Russell, and so is anyone else. It’s insulting.

Ha. No, Madden I don’t for some nefarious reason want to be called a racist.
I’m an older guy, but I was fortunate enough to be brought up in a household (in Oakland) where my sister and I were taught that the color of a person’s skin had nothing to do with the type of person they were, with what they were capable of, or how they were to be treated. I’ve tried to live my life that way, and have tried to raise my kids that way as well.
If anything, I’m probably too sensitive to suggestions that I am by nature a racist because I’m white, and that might expain some of my response. I know it probably sounds cliche, but dismissing another human being because of their skin color or where they come from is pretty much the height of arrogance in my book.

don’t you worry about me
looks like my comment about you judging everybody but yourself was spot on! haha
i’m not surprised

Kell: please explain why JaMarcus Russell is or will be a great NFL quarterback…
i’m still waiting (not surprisingly you turned the topic towards race last time)

I think I’ve read several reports of the Raiders meeting with and working out offensive players (maybe I should clarify; players that perform on the offensive side of the ball), most specifically o-linemen generally thought to be third rounders or later.
Aside from a meeting with Weatherspoon, the LB from MIzzou, I can’t recall any defensive players being interviewed and/or worked out.
Am I missing somebody?

ET: If Spoon is there at #39 , would you take him and play him at MLB?
March 31st, 2010 at 2:14 pm
They didn’t work out DHB or MM last year did they? I don’t think they usually work out their early round picks.
March 31st, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Madden: I think they did, but the media didn’t catch wind of it!
March 31st, 2010 at 2:17 pm
I believe they did work them out or at least watched private work outs,they just didn’t report it.

Rockstar,
I noticed that he lined up there at times during the Senior Bowl. He didn’t seem to be uncomfortable there, looked active and involved and made a few plays. I’ve read scouting reports that say that he be utilized inside or outside but to be honest I haven’t seen him play enough to really know one way or the other.
He is projected as a first-rounder, though, so I would imagine he’d have to slip into the 2nd for us to get a shot at him. Pretty big reach at 8 with McClain sitting there, if that’s where you want to go.
March 31st, 2010 at 2:21 pm
ET: I don’t like speedy undersized backers with cover skills … not at MLB anyways
unless we draft McClain (1st), Spikes (3rd) or Micah Johnson (5th) I think we should just keep Kirk Morrison and draft a real nose tackle like Dan Williams or Terrence Cody
run defense solved!

They worked out Heyward-Bey. They didn’t work out Mike Mitchell.

MLB is going to be interesting. I’m sure everybody (including Kirk Morrison) is aware that the 3rd round tender he was assigned is not exactly a ringing endorsement of his job performance over the past few years.
March 31st, 2010 at 2:28 pm
Please draft offensive and defensive linemen.
Real ones, not coverted tight ends.
March 31st, 2010 at 2:29 pm
I think the Raiders went to Mike Mitchell’s little private workout day.

Wow, this is awesome!
I finally get to check the blog after indulging in an hot afternoon adult feature on my plasma with two Dutch lingerie models, and Krappy is melting WAY WAY down!
Krappy, have some dignity, you crusty old fool! Being an old angry racist is no way to suffer through life!
Man, you’re such a sad old dude.
And trust me, Krap, having a loser like RMR stick up for you is not helping your “rep” in the slightest.
At least when you begged Jhill to defend you, it wasn’t 100% laughable.
Got it, you old crusty freak? Sweet!
March 31st, 2010 at 2:38 pm
I’d be wiiling to bet that both Cody and Rolando McClain end up in the AFC West, and neither one with the Raiders.
I doubt they’ll end up on the same team, but if they did it would be Denver. Wouldn’t that be fun twice a year?
March 31st, 2010 at 2:38 pm
inonewordraider: solid draft if we could manage to get both Iupati & Cody!
March 31st, 2010 at 2:41 pm
ET: I can see Oakland getting Bruce Campbell, Jahvid Best & Jacoby Ford in the first 3 rounds.
then a few DB’s and tweener LB’s in rounds 4-7

McNabb’s Just Not That Into Us: TMZ
By JOE KUKURA
Updated 2:00 PM PDT, Wed, Mar 31, 2010
“The Oakland Raiders’ widely reported pursuit of Donovan McNabb may be in jeopardy because McNabb would refuse to play for the Raiders, according to a breaking Internet report from an important news-gathering organization.
And this breaking Internet report comes to you from the same important news-gathering organization that also broke the blockbuster story that Jesse James’ third mistress did not really have sex with a monkey.
Yes, TMZ.com, the sleazy gossip site that usually reports on stories like whether Octomom will do a porn movie, has taken to covering the Oakland Raiders. Their latest report claims that Donovan McNabb would refuse a rumored trade to the Raiders, and would not play for Oakland.
“A source close to McNabb tells TMZ, ‘He does NOT want to play for the Raiders and would refuse the trade’,” according to the report.
Now any Raiders fan with two memories of the Richard Seymour saga to rub together can tell you that a pro football player cannot refuse a trade. Sure, TMZ.com has done some groundbreaking working coming up with funny headlines, but they obviously don’t know the first thing about contract and trade considerations within the current NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement.
And TMZ.com wasn’t done with the Raiders yet. Wednesday morning they tried to stoke another JaMarcus Russell scandal by publishing pictures of Russell in a late-night gambling binge at a high-stakes Vegas craps table.
That doesn’t even bother Raiders fans anymore. As long as Russell’s late-night binges are at a craps table instead of a Taco Bell, we actually consider that progress.”

Javon Walker pissed off the boss, plain and simple. Al Davis will wield his power,and he will cut off his nose to spite his face.”Off with his head”, he bellowed.There are only so many winters of discontent left for you, Mr.Davis, rise above your rightous indignation and make the hard decisions, and PLEASE delegate to trusted professionals.

Javon Walker is pathetic..
Who bites the hand that feeds him. Al Davis made a huge mistake in signing him, thinking he still had skills to perform and refused the payback cause he still believed. No wonder this fool got knocked out in Vegas. It’s just flat out disrespectful!
April 1st, 2010 at 2:21 pm
To you ignorant people that have no clew about football and conracts. Javon wanted to give the money back not because he couldn’t play but because he saw the direction in which the team wanted to go. The only reason All talked him into staying is because All didn’t want to be told what to do. Its funny how so many reports from Training camp from actual raiders BEAT writers quote how fast and great Javon looked and how well he was catching the ball. Another thing to look at. Wednesday is open practice media day around the whole NFL, but the raiders decide to keep the “practice” closed to media all year long. That was because they did not want to let the public know that All runs the show and not the performance of his players and to see how Javon was killing the first team during there game run threws. I know for a fact several players wanting Javon in the game but the coaches were told not to even look his way. All hurt the team not Javon. He has a track record of this, players are just the escape goat(i.e Javon)
