Preseason schedule; QBs and TMZ
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 at 2:39 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders will open up with a pair of preseason games on the road at Dallas and Chicago before finishing at home with San Francisco and Seattle.
Only weekends have been assigned so far, with specific days to be added later.
Submitted for your approval (or disapproval), a pair of TMZ links about the Raiders quarterback position.
Although it’s not likely to make the team’s media guide detailing the rich history of the Raiders, chances are its the first time the franchise got a pair of TMZ links within a 24-hour period.
The first includes a picture of JaMarcus Russell at a craps table at the Palms in Las Vegas. The headline? “Heavy Bettor.”
Not a great photo, but it’s hard to see the “significant difference” in Russell’s weight alluded to by Willie Brown.
The second says quarterback Donovan McNabb has no plans on wearing silver and black.
He would “refuse” a trade, according to the report.
While I’m not convinced McNabb will be traded to the Raiders, let’s see if he’ll really threaten to sit out a season with $11.2 million on the line if Al Davis swings the deal.
Chances are it would be similar to the Richard Seymour trade last season. McNabb would sit at a podium with Davis, talk about how he always wanted to be a Raider and refute every report which indicated otherwise.
And thus collect his $6.2 million roster bonus and $5 million salary.

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.”

that being said… the Raiders with Rich Gannon coming out of retirement than Donovan McNabb leading the way. If he is our QB and the team is only marginally successful, Donovan will find every way he can to put it back on the Raiders ala Randy Moss and resurrect his career with the Vikings and Adrian Peterson come 2011. Write that down.

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 2:53 pm
I’d rather have Trindan Holliday from LSU. Get him late because he sure won’t be doing anything except returning kicks. Blinding speed, and since he’s only about 5′6 he will be virtually impossible to find out there. Works for Sproles.
Grab him and one of the fullbacks (John Connor UK or Rashawn Jackson UVA) late and we wrap up the draft pretty well.
March 31st, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Moralizing Podunker,
I never came across anyone in whom the moral sense was dominant who was not heartless, cruel, vindictive, log-stupid, and entirely lacking in the smallest sense of humanity. Moral people, as they are termed, are simple beasts. I would sooner have fifty unnatural vices than one unnatural virtue.

March 31st, 2010 at 2:56 pm
Whether the McNabb to Oakland rumors have any merit won’t be known till at least the 5th or maybe even until the draft or after.
Technically it IS illegal to “tamper” with a contract player like McNabb.
Does it happen?
Obviously.
Should teams openly flaunt it?
Probably not, especially teams with a real or percieved persecution complex.
If McNabb gets nabbed by Oakland it could come before the eagels roster bonus of $6.5 mill or after if depending on the compensation paid by the team taking him.
All myriad of things could happen there contractually but at trade theoretically could come before or during the draft if picks from this year come into play.
Or, all of this could be ridiculous speculation by “reproters” desperate for anything NFL in the off season that doesn’t have to do with 40 times and rape.
Funny how one of the worst teams of the decade always manages to be in the spot light, wanted or not.
March 31st, 2010 at 2:57 pm
Bruce Campbell, Jahvid Best, Jacoby Ford, Trindan Holliday & Rashawn Jackson = solid draft ???
I could see it going that way …

Classic that TMZ got Jamarcus going to a private table, walking away fairly soon (probably lost) and kicking it with fat chicks.
Is that really how a NFL QB does it? Not very “presedential”.
March 31st, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Heres the realio dealio, if Davis wants a deal done, it gets done.
If he wants McNabb to “mentor” Russell until the kids up to speed or replace his azz until we can find someone else, it’ll happen.
Remember, all of this could simply be rampant speculation in the guise of “news” and Russell could be starter day one depending.

Campbell is not worth the #8 overall, Jahvid Best duplicates what we (should, and will wait to find out if we do) have in McFadden, and where is Jacoby Ford going to play, because if we take him in the third ahead of an offensive or defensive lineman you’d think he would have to be on the field.
Enough about the edges of the offense and defense. We need to address the middle on both sides of the ball. Center, guard, defensive tackle, middle linebacker.
Well, and quarterback, but that’s another subject entirely.

LMFAO:
Mistresses, ex-adviser reveal shocking Tiger details
Fox Sports
Updated Mar 31, 2010 3:10 PM ET
Tiger Woods became a self-indulgent, s3x-crazed narcissist because he hung out with the wrong crowd — including retired U.S. basketball players Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley , the shamed golfer’s longtime former adviser claimed in an explosive interview Wednesday.
“I told him, ‘Stay away from that son of a ***** (Jordan), because he doesn’t have anything to offer to the ****ing world in which he lives except playing basketball, which he did yesterday,’ ” lawyer John Merchant told the latest edition of Vanity Fair magazine.
The magazine’s 14-page special also featured interviews with Woods’ alleged mistresses, including cocktail waitress Mindy Lawton, who described how she first met Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren while serving them at a diner near their Florida home.
“One of them would read the paper, just very cold,” she said. “I didn’t see any signs of affection … I figured he was in a loveless relationship with his wife.”
Soon after, she began an affair with Woods, who was nonstop with his s3xual demands and “had the biggest (pen1s) I’ve ever seen,” said Lawton.
On one occasion, he insisted on meeting her right before a big golf tourney in 2007, she said, adding: “He wanted that last piece of booty before he could go to his tournament. To make him shoot better.”
Another woman linked to Woods, Las Vegas nightclub hostess Jamie Jungers, said he showed no remorse about cheating, readily answering questions about his marriage, which he described as “good,” and noting after one s3x session in 2005 that his wife was “in Sweden with her sister.”
March 31st, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Now, Woods has hired George W Bush’s mouthpiece, Ari Fleisher to re=set the image.
March 31st, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Yeah, Krappy, your buddy Tiger is a lot like you – afraid to admit he’s an idiot so he asks people smarter than himself to stand up for him.
Although calling your gal pal RMR “smarter” than you is really splitting hairs.
Man, you’re really on a roll today, old dude! A roll straight downhill.
Awesome!
March 31st, 2010 at 3:24 pm
In actuality the TMZ photo of JaM doesn’t show any of the previously potbellied gut. Stirrin’ up shyte is a way of like for both sides of the fence.
As that goes, shooting craps? JaM has been comin’ up snake-eyes (”Deuce!!”) for quite some time anyway.
As for McN…slop down some of that chemical laden chunky soup and call it a day.
March 31st, 2010 at 3:24 pm
You can bet that Al will draft some type of skill position fast guy in the 2nd or 3rd round.
The hope has to be front 7 on D or O-line in the 1st and/or later rounds.
Whether it is Javhid Best, Javier Arenas, Jacoby Ford, Tebow or Gerhart or some other fast guy, you just have to expect it at some point in the draft.
March 31st, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Anyone who hires Ari Fleischer is a whore.
March 31st, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Speaking of soup, for all of you venture capitalistas out there, there’s a two million square mile area of plastic sludge whirling around the surface of the Pacific Ocean ’bout midway between Cali and Hawaii just waiting to be scooped up and put in cans. The sodium levels are just right for processed foods and the amount of chemical additives are just like Ranch Style Doritos.

March 31st, 2010 at 3:45 pm
True, but hiring Fleischer is no worse then having a loser like RMR stick up for you when some bloggers make fun of you.
But then again, Krappy has built a career as a well known “Blog Personality” by being a wacky old wimp.
Either way, Krappy & Tiger have a ton in common. Except for the fact that 1 of them has lot of money, isn’t a well known racist and gets to have sex with attractive white ladies.
Awesome!
March 31st, 2010 at 3:51 pm
Agreed, Vegas. I do expect Al to waste a pick or two on skill positions. I just don’t think it’s smart with all the other holes we have, especially when filling those holes would probably make the skill players we already have a bit more successful.
I suggested Trindan Holliday because he is a fast guy, he could really help in the return game but we wouldn’t have to waste a high pick on him at the expense of a player we really need.
It defies Raider logic, though, I know.
March 31st, 2010 at 3:52 pm
Didn’t the BCS hire Ari Fleischer?
March 31st, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Although the pics of King Exlax in that tmz link are grainy at best. There is a side shot of him, and even with him wearing a 5x t-shirt, the gut is still there.
I’d say the rumors of him being closer to 3 bills than 250, are more than likely fact.
And, I would sure hope he could “pull” better than the two skanks that were loitering at that table. But, he was benched in favor of Frye. Maybe he’s gotten used to being with the 3rd. stringers…..

many here assume that AD will pick some worthless fast skill player. Round five, who cares?
prior to JaM AD hadn’t drafted a first round QB since Todd.
prior to McF^ckhog AD hadn’t drafted a high first round RB since Allen.
prior to DHB AD hadn’t drafted a WR high in the first round since the days of the Chicago Staleys.
DBs and Linemen. Check it out. It is either a lineman or Eric Berry in the first.
March 31st, 2010 at 4:09 pm
909,
JaM just wants a Haynesworth contract. bulk up and rake in 100 mill.
March 31st, 2010 at 4:15 pm
What position gets the biggest upgrade with a free agent or draft pick. Here are my two:
McNabb over (JaDavis and the Gym-Rat) = Raiders do not have an NFL caliber QB on the roster. If Davis is smart, they instantly go for a hopeless QB situation to one of the top 5 or 10 in the league.
Dan Williams over (William Joseph and Desmond Bryant) = The Raiders do not have a NT on the roster. Bryant and Joseph are too light and are more pass rush guys. Big Dan Williams, added to Seymour and Shaughnessy, gives the Raiders a good line and might free up Kelly to do more….also line up Williams next to Seymour and what does the opposing O-Line do.
Trent Williams over (Khalif Barnes @ RT) = I don’t believe the Raiders have given up on Henderson. However, the gap on the right end is pretty big….a draft pick or free agent gives the O-Line a big boost
McCLain over Morrison MLB = Some improvement possibly, but not nearily as much as the above
March 31st, 2010 at 4:15 pm
Lonetree… yep, if you hire Fleischer you’re already suspect in my book. At least with the BCS he can put his work with political bodies to use.
I hope you’re right about a lineman, although if he does that I suspect it will be a DE. Just don’t see him taking a LT because of Mario, and Al loves his playmakers in the first.

Well then, that’s all the more reason that sports writers have no ground to mock TMZ. Look at this obsession with Russell’s personal life. If he’s a bad quarterback, he’s a bad quarterback. Write about it. But to follow him around? Seems pretty TMZ like, to me. And, it doesn’t surprise me that TMZ gets the inside track on McNabb’s status. The mainstream press sinks to the tabloid press’s level, and the tabloid press is going to win on occasion.

Lane Kiffin has gotten over Tennessee, let alone the Raiders. Al Davis and all of his self importance is two jobs ago to Lane Kiffin. He’s now the head coach of one of the biggest college football teams in the country. Al is ancient history to him, and so are Al’s fans. However, Lane is still very much on the minds of Al and his loyal supporters. How sad.
March 31st, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Seriously old pal, how’d you come up with that totally hilarious joke?
Did you do it on your own, steal some stuff from your man Johnny Carson, or hear it from one of the brothers down at the barbershop?
Because you’ve got a career in late night comedy writing, my senile old friend.

As far as McNabb refusing a trade to the Raiders, what did I say from the get go? And sure, it will be like Seymour. He’ll eventually cave in and take the money, and Raider fans will get a rude awakening as to how our problems extend far beyond player personnel when we lose anyway.
March 31st, 2010 at 5:09 pm

But something touched me deep inside, the day they hit the schneid

I have no concern regarding Kiffin.
I’m making the observation that few have earned as much, with so little a resume.
Look at His head coaching record.
March 31st, 2010 at 5:18 pm
Kiffin will win Nada at USC. I am a big USC fan, and he was not the brains behind the Offense that propelled USC to fame. It was ALL Norm Chow. Kiffin, and sark could never get it done as OCO’s. I give him 3-4 years of mediocrity before he is jettisioned to UCSD…
March 31st, 2010 at 5:19 pm

Kiffin has a lot toprove.
It’s surerreal that this guy has the job.
He really should send AL a christmas card.
Had AL not hired Him…He’d not have coached Tennessee nor USC.

Len, you seem to be upset at USC for giving Kiffin the job. I have not seen up to this point that you’re a USC fan, because that’s the only reason you should care, outside of your being a Davis supporter with an ax to grind.
March 31st, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Len, I beleive Kiffin would have gotten a job, but he is way overated. He and sark blew at least 2 National champioship tries with his play calling. He is weak at best, and will prove how inept he truly is once he is rolled in the PAC-10….
March 31st, 2010 at 5:24 pm

I’ve never heard any respectable football journalists, reporters, ex playes, etc. say that about Kiffin, Vegas. Sure you’re not just bitter, too, because of his falling out with Al?

IF we get McNabb an O line pick with the 8th is in order.
This move, rumor as it may be, would instantly upgrade the O line (as I’ve mentioned) with McNabb’s release, awareness and feet and help us take advantage of a weakened division.

I’d take McNabb in a heartbeat.
And I’d draft heavy on the O LIne to protect Him.
Mabey Gaither from Baltimore is in play.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall with the coaching staff and listen to Hue Jackson when Gaithers name is brought up.

In my estimation the Oakland Raiders have actually won seven Super Bowls in a row, but the Superpowers of KK’s lists, BSPN’s contractual issues and MR’s hatred of AD have skewed the continuum to such a degree that we can’t view it.

Do our country a favor and declare as an independent.

Yes I see the irony.
That’s the problem imo. A lot of anti this and that, but when the bill comes due, everybody is looking to someone other than themselves to pay the bill..
We need Government.
My prefference would be that it be less intrusive.

We can do this, but I’m of the opinion that Washington and Corporate America is not really interested.

March 31st, 2010 at 6:53 pm
Kell, I lost count of how many Republicans I know who wound up taking some kind of public assistance, after a lifetime of bashing it. That’s why I stopped listening to them years ago.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:05 pm
Yep… People that have forever been on the public dole would never have a bad thing to say about it.
Except that it ought to be more, and it should be more conveinient.
The hard core workers who think that the government dole is for losers learn that they are not bullet proof.
The difference between the two groups is that one is willing and wants to work, and feel great shame and humiliation, while the other wonders why they don’t get more.
This by the way has nothing to do with political affiliation.
It has to do with personal experience and Integrity.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:05 pm
RMR…
I am a libertarian. I am for a very small federal government with very limited powers (as is called for in the constitution). I HATE the fact that Welfare and public assistance programs have become “free money” systems. I want very strict guidelines set on what is required for someone to get those programs. I am in favor of their existence, but want there to be more qualifiers than “are you unemployed and pregnant,” because those things make it more appealing to do nothing and pump out babies than to actually participate in society and its economic progression. Since it is impossible to change the system from the outside, I have taken full advantage of it on the one occasion in my adult life when I was able to do so.
Back in 2001, my uncle was released from the hospital and was bedridden with black lung and emphysema, just waiting for death to take him, he could not afford home healthcare and did not qualify for full-time nursing. Neither of his sons volunteered to take care of him and no one else in the family wanted to do it. So I took a leave of absence from my job at an advertising company in Virginia Beach and moved back to the country to take care of him. He was supposed to last less than two months, but held on for almost a year. After the two months had passed, I informed my job that I would not be able to make it back as planned and immediately signed up for foodstamps because Marshall couldn’t afford to pay me for helping him (his SS check was $590/month, which barely covered household bills). I renewed the foodstamps six months later, which gave me another six months. He died before my allotment ran out, but I let it continue to refill every month, even though I had become employeed again after he died (I had three months left and I used every bit of it).
I look around and see so many people abusing the system that I decided to become a part of the problem, as well. The only way to get it fixed is to make it so bad that something HAS TO be done. You know the guy who lets his car get rusty as hell, ignores the bad brakes, ignores the broken muffler, and ignores every other problem with it and doesn’t do anything to get it fixed until it finally breaks down completely and won’t go any farther until something is done? That guy is our federal government and the car is the system of public aid programs.

March 31st, 2010 at 7:08 pm
As an ancillary note to my above post:
I did NOT sign up for Welfare or any other assistance programs, just for foodstamps. I got out of the Army in late 2000 and had been working at the advertising company for only a few months at the time that I began caring for Marshall. I was 21 and still full of piss and vinegar.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:09 pm
RaiderLen, it’s obvious your personal experience and “integrity” (lol) doesn’t include a lot of interaction with people who’ve been on welfare. Welfare is not a party. Only a small number of people on welfare enjoy it in the way you’ve described. Your short sighted assessment of the mentality of people on welfare reveals that your comments are more politically driven than you want us to believe.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:12 pm
Also, I had to sell my car after three months of taking care of Marshall because I had to support myself because he didn’t have the money to pay me anything. Even though I was staying there rent-free, I still had things that had to bed paid for (insurance, internet, other assorted items) and had to do SOMETHING for money, because I couldn’t get a job since Marshall needed round-the-clock care. I NEEDED the foodstamps at the time that I signed up. The extra three months after he died was where I abused the system.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:13 pm
Steve, everyone who signs up for any kind of welfare has some kind of hardship, some worse than others. There are people out there who would say that YOU were leaching off of the system, too. YOU could have tried harder. YOU could have found a few hours a day to get any kind of work done. Of course, I wouldn’t agree with them. And that’s the same benefit of the doubt I afford everyone on welfare until they’ve proven otherwise. And in my experiences, very few have.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:15 pm
And yes, I very much needed the luxury of internet access. Only when you have to spend every second of every day listening for a bell to ring in the next room so that you have to rush in and find out what a bedridden person needs do you truly understand monotony. Without internet access to fill the hour of nothingness until the next snack, pill, meal, or ass-wiping, I would have gone insane. The fact that I could never leave the house to go run any errands of my own or have any fun most certainly didn’t help any.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:17 pm
RMR,
In my situation, it was literally impossible for me to leave the house to go out and earn any money. I was Marshall’s sole source of assistance and there was no telling when he would have an attack or need to use the bathroom or any other random thing. I was 24-hour care. About once a month, he would have a bad attack and have to be hospitalized for a couple of days to recover. During those times, I would go mow grass for neighbors, put up fences, or find some odd-jobs to earn some money to make things easier, but there was no guarantee when the next chance to do so would come along. I learned some very important lessons about budgeting during those 11 months.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:19 pm
Steve, nothing’s impossible. That being said, I personally have no problem with your use of welfare. I don’t criticize people on welfare until they prove themselves to be abusing it.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:19 pm
I also learned that when Marshall would get hospitalized, I would have two days worth of his painpills to snort or sell to make some money to alleviate the strain. Caring for a dying man was my initial step into the muddy waters of prescription drug abuse.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Steve, I’ll speak right to the point that I think you’re trying to make, which is that your use of welfare is different from that of people who typically come from impoverished environments. And I have to say, I’m sorry, but I disagree with you. I don’t believe your use of welfare is any different than theirs. You’re wasting your time trying to explain the difference. Because frankly? I’ve read your story, and I believe you. But the stories I’ve heard from people in impoverished environments are worse than yours.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:21 pm
I wasn’t on welfare, though. I was on foodstamps. I got 190 dollars worth of food a month. They issued me a card that looked like a credit card and on the first of every month, they would put a debit amount of 190 dollars on it that ONLY worked at grocery stores. When the total had been rung up, you slide the card and if there are ANY items that aren’t FOOD on the total, then that item is deducted from the “food” total and the foodstamp card would not pay for it.
Welfare is a check that can be cashed and used for anything. Foodstamps can ONLY be used for food.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:22 pm
MR…I see and talk with people every day.
Con jobs come in all demographics. I know this because I’ve witnessed it. For 30 years.
Please refrain from lecturing me on my personal experience and opinion.
If your heart bleeds a certain way… fine.
Just don’t preach to me.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:23 pm
As far as calling yourself a libertarian, I think you really need to reexamine the Libertarian party’s position on food stamps.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Len, sometimes a response is going to come in the form of a lecture. You have the option of reading it or not reading it. I don’t know what to tell you.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:25 pm
I’m not saying that my circumstances were any better or worse than those of others. I’m merely saying that there should be stricter requirements for getting public assistance of any kind. I took advantage of the system for three months after I no longer needed it. Actually, the first month when I was getting my life back in order, I did need it… so I took advantage for two months. There are people out there who take advantage much worse than I did for DECADES… and they take advantage of systems that pay them money, not just foodstamps. My story is just an illustration of how easy it is to get over on the system once you no longer need it.
We need welfare reform badly.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Sure, Steve. Stricter requirements that fall just short of banning people in your situation from getting food stamps. For being a libertarian, you sure do walk and quack like a Republican.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:26 pm
RMR,
I told you that I saw a broken system and decided to take advantage of it. I know that it’s against my party’s mainline stance, but that doesn’t have to be how I feel about everything. Are ALL Republicans “pro-life?”
March 31st, 2010 at 7:27 pm
RMR,
I didn’t say to cut off assistance programs or eliminate them, I just want requirements (or at least regular reviews of people on the programs) that prevent people from doing what I did and worse.

So then, you’re a moderate libertarian, which, in essence, makes you either a moderate liberal or moderate conservative. Fair enough. You’re not a Libertarian if you believe in any kind of welfare. And, considering the Republican Party’s stance on abortion, yes, any member of that party that is pro choice is going against party lines, and is therefore a moderate Republican.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:30 pm

March 31st, 2010 at 7:34 pm
30 Year Raider, so you’re for welfare as long as people are clean from drugs? Someone can live off of the system their entire life, and you’re cool with it as long as they don’t do drugs?
March 31st, 2010 at 7:34 pm
I want the federal reserve bank to be eliminated (it’s neither federal, nor a reserve).
I am pro-choice.
I want a much smaller and more restricted federal government with more emphasis on the States’ rights to legislate to their people.
I am against big-business buying and controlling our public officials.
I want full visibility of everything that the government does, since the people own it.
I want the people to be in charge of the government, not vice-versa.
I want a complete overhaul of foreign-relations policies, one wherein we do NOT invade other countries and start wars on the whims of our “allies” or because of the possible economic gains of taking their natural resources (oil and other commodities).
I want an abolition of income tax, or, barring that, an inverse taxation structure.
If I’m a Republican, I damned sure don’t act like it. My opinion on ONE issue doesn’t make me hold to anything else that a party believes. The two-party system is a false dichotomy and the American people have to break free from it and realize that there is more out there than the two options that are forced upon us.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:36 pm
Well, you were acting like a Republican when you were saying that we should be stricter with welfare to prevent people from doing what you did. That kind of hypocrisy is as Republican-esque as it gets.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:37 pm
no im not cool with all of this public assistance…but drug testing & random testing would cut this crap out by over 50%. write that down
March 31st, 2010 at 7:39 pm
30 Year Raider, what sources can you back that up with? That 50% of people on welfare use drugs?
March 31st, 2010 at 7:40 pm
madden
it would be a start of downsizing alot of these programs.. its a very simple solution
March 31st, 2010 at 7:40 pm
RMR,
It was my mistake to say that I’m Libertarian, when in reality, I am a member of no party and think that the party system is just B.S. to make people bend on their positions on ONE issue because they agree with a certain party on OTHER issues. I said that I’m a libertarian because they are the party with whom I most agree. Having said that, I was in favor of stricter requirements BEFORE I was on foodstamps. If anything, I was a hypocrite for taking advantage of a system that I wanted changed in the first place… but that doesn’t make me a Republican, a Democrat, or a Libertarian, it makes me human.
When I first signed up, it was legitimate and would have passed any screening. After my renewal was approved, it was still legitimate. When Marshall died, I had three more months of free food coming to me and I took it. I did NOT, however, try to renew after that cycle was over. That would have truly been taking advantage of the system.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:42 pm
It’s not a very simple solution at all, 30 Year Raider. Denying welfare to people who need it, in an economy like this?
March 31st, 2010 at 7:44 pm
Besides, 190 bucks a month breaks down to $47.50 per week. I wasn’t exactly pulling a fast one on the government there… I was living on frozen dinners and bologna sandwiches while caring for Marshall. I guess they didn’t think that a single, 21-year-old male needed to eat much.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:44 pm
People who take advantage of the system are human, too, Steve.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:45 pm
i have a job had to take a drug test to get it…also must be subjected to random testing to keep it…it would be a start.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Steve, there’s no reason to explain yourself to me. I’m cool with your use of welfare. But again, if you’re still trying to make the case that your use of welfare is different from that of others, like, say, poor minorities, I don’t see where it is. No sale there.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:49 pm
I don’t think it would do much to eliminate welfare, 30 Year Raider. I don’t think there are as many drug users on welfare as you imagine.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:50 pm
RMR,
At first thought, I agree with you that drug tests are bad. I wouldn’t want to refuse help to someone who needs it just because they are addicted to a substance. If anything, that would make their situation WORSE.
After further thinking, however, I realized that if someone is on drugs AND getting free money, then they have no motivation to get clean, because we are paying for their food, housing, and bills… and for their drugs as well.
I wouldn’t cut someone off for a positive test. I would put them in mandatory counseling for six months. That’s a LONG time and should be long enough to get clean, no matter WHAT drug you’re on. After that six-month period is over, your assistance would be probationary and you would be told that one failed drug test would mean the total loss of benefits. I think that system would do everything possible to help someone and that the only way to lose that help would be to refuse to do even the smallest of things to keep it.
If I as an investment of yours (citizens are supposed to help the economy by dent of being a part of it) and you gave me ten bucks every day to buy a bus ticket to go out looking for jobs and to buy my lunch… and then found out that I had had been staying at home and spending the money on weed, eating crackers… would you continue to give me the money?
March 31st, 2010 at 7:50 pm
people who truly need welfare single parents with kids who lost there jobs they need it lets give it to them… but if that parents is given a drug test and it shows they ve been smoking crack , well you aint getting any mercy from me bro..WELFARE DENIED!!!
March 31st, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Mostly a reader, but what do you guys think of this mock:
1. OT Anthony Davis
would have been taken earlier, but I think he has work ethic issues, hopefully Cable can coach him up well. He is an athletic and polished tackle from what I read.
2. DT Cam Thomas/ Lamarr Houston
I am torn here, not sure which is a better fit for our D. I don’t want college football.
3. WR Jacoby Ford
He is a speedster Al will love and could be a great kick returner for us. Possibly replaces Higgins if Higgins is still giving minimal effort.
4. OG Mitch Petrus or the OG from Alabama.
I think he is a good Run blocker and he blocked for McFadden.
5a. Center
Do not know much about the centers in this draft.
5b. Cb Donovan Warren
Before the combine, he was top corner and fell a lot due to poor forties. I am hearing he will be a steal.
If he is gone, let Al pick a physical specimen.
7a and 7b. Let Al do what he does best, find late round steals.

30 Year Raider, what gives you the high ground to define just who “needs” welfare?
March 31st, 2010 at 7:54 pm
30 Year Raider, if you don’t know for a fact how many people on welfare are on drugs, why would you insist that you do know, and even give a number, as you did earlier? Isn’t that a bit dishonest?
March 31st, 2010 at 7:55 pm
RMR,
I don’t care what color someone is in relation to their assistance status. What I care about is the type of assistance.
Here’s what I mean: the type of assistance that I received wasn’t Welfare. It was foodstamps. I am totally in favor of anyone who has low income getting foodstamps.
In the cases of those who need money for housing, I am totally in favor of them getting assistance in the form of rent-payments TO THEIR LANDLORD.
My problem is with a system that gives someone a CHECK or any other form of assistance that can be converted directly to cash and used at the recipient’s discretion. If someone needs help, I say that we have an obligation to give it… so long as we give it intelligently and they show that they need it and intend to do whatever they can to improve their situation so that they no longer need it. Giving them a check that they can cash and go spend on lottery tickets is just a bad idea (I am from the country and have known many people in my day who did that very thing. FYI, they were all white).
March 31st, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Here’s how u feel bout drug testing.
DRUG TEST ALL THE POLITICIANS before declaring a WAR ON DRUGS and other false propaganda to scare America into thinking the inner city if filled with nothing but dumb poor people with no ambition to strive for better things in life And doing it the right way.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:56 pm

March 31st, 2010 at 7:57 pm
RMR,
In case you want to say that I brought race into this, I mentioned that they were white because YOU said that my experiences weren’t analogous to those of minorities as if I was trying to deny help to people because of race. I’ve known just as many white people who screwed the welfare system as I have black. Color isn’t an issue to me, it’s merely about the foolishness of giving MONEY to people who don’t need it… or only need it because they refuse to improve their situation as long as we give them free money.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:58 pm
30 Year Raider, I think it’s an ineffective solution. I think this large number of people on welfare being drug users exists in your imagination only.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Saw your post 191 after I posted 194. You said it while I was typing. Just trying to keep the conversation about the public assistance programs and not about race. Glad to know that we’re on the same page.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Steve, I never said you brought race into it. In fact, I did. But I wasn’t accusing you of being a racist. I just brought up one group of welfare users as an example.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Remember the children in all of your legistlating. Both sides of the coin. Kids don’t choose their parents….anyway
The more I think about this McNabb thing…the more I believe this is the ONLY way for the Raiders to have a CHANCE at respectability.
1. If JaDavis can come close to beating S.D and the Gym-Rat can play Cincy & Pitt tough…McNabb should be able to give us that lift to beat S.D and definitely not lose the games to the K.C, Wash and Clevelands of the world….Especially with next years schedule
2. If anyone is going to salvage DHB its McNabb’s strong arm…plus Miller, Schilens and Murphy are hungry for a real QB…Miller said as much on radio interview
3. Only have to pay McNabb $11M for 1 year…not committed to long-term…so if it doesn’t work out we aren’t sunk like we are with JaDavis…we pay JaDavis some $20 million over next two seasons..cut him and give the money to McNabb…if it works out, then he will be worth $100 Billion
4. Our 2nd round pick…hell, the 1st round pick is effectively worthless. Al Davis has no clue on how to pick players and we will most likely end up with a Height-Weight-Speed Bust that won’t contribute a DAMN thing. Give McNabb a fraction of that total for this year…and if it works then pay McNabb as opposed to next year’s Philip Buchanan
5. JaDavis and Gradkowski the Gym-Rat are not NFL caliber QBs. To go with them, would be putting up the white flag. Getting McNabb at least shows a commitment to winning.
6. McNabb had a shaky O-Line in Philly this year and played far better then any QB the Raiders will trot out there in the best of times…Peters was worse than Henderson and the Right Tackle for Philly was released
7. Al Davis has not developed a QB in 35 years. So drafting a mid to late round QB won’t do jack for us. Just another Tui, Billy Jo Hobert, Marc Wilson, JaDavis, Andrew Walter…forget it…as long as Davis is in charge, and he keeps micro managing…then there is no way this franchise will ever develop a QB
8. McNabb would have the veteran respect and saavy to push back on stupid ideas….like Gannon did
9. Did I mention he’s the only chance we have to win
March 31st, 2010 at 8:02 pm
I had to take a drug test for my job.
Still required to submit to “random” drug testing even tho it don’t seem so “random”
drug test don’t stop people from using drugs.
It’s merely an obstacle that can be easily overcome
March 31st, 2010 at 8:03 pm
ill tell whats not in my imagination… the number of people on it….
March 31st, 2010 at 8:04 pm
10. If McNabb doesn’t work out…so what…then its simply 8 years of losing…..then you can trot out the Gym-Rat or re-sign JaDavis and give them the job in 2011
March 31st, 2010 at 8:07 pm

Wouldn’t more outreach programs in those areas be more effective than cramming them in jail cells?
Instead they target these areas specifically for raids.
Powder cocaine is EVERYWHERE.
But since it’s considered a rich mans drug it’s just a slap on the wrist

Gotta see if a super talent drops to #39
I don’t wanna miss out on another desean Jackson or Rey malaluga
March 31st, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Mack-Madden,
If we find a DeSean Jackson or Rey Maulaluga…its going to be in the 4th or 6th rounds…..Davis reaches for the Moon on the 1st two rounds…except for Zach Miller and I have to believe a certain coach was able to convince Davis to make that pick based on said coaches time in the Pac-10
March 31st, 2010 at 8:23 pm
Has anyone started to feel a little bad for JRuss? He is young and dude, while he has not help up his end of the bargain, it seems like the world is against him…maybe his weight and gambling things are symptoms of his inability to handle this stuff. I am not sure…no I am sure, I would NOT be able to. I took my daughter to the raider denver game at the coluseum last year and there were 59,000 people chanting Russell sucks…he was either 22 or 23. That is tough.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Raider Guy,
I don’t feel bad for JaDavis. If he was just struggling on the field, then yes I would because QB is a tough position.
But this guy appears to not want to keep himself in elite condition…apparently doesn’t put the work in…and anyone who’s played Div 1 football has to be aware of the conditioning aspect.
I would be patient with JaDavis but the conditioning and commitment doesn’t seem to be there.
How long can you wait.
bring on Donovan McNabb!
March 31st, 2010 at 8:30 pm
But the way he has gone about it sort of seems to be a bit self sabotage doesn’t it? He goes through hell last year, then leaves the team before the end of the year meeting and comes late to the off season program…his lack of effort is rediculous and makes me think there is something more going on. Not to start a rumor about anything other than I think this guy wants out. I can’t say I blame him
March 31st, 2010 at 8:31 pm

March 31st, 2010 at 8:42 pm
I think everyone is talking about Campbell but Williams is just as impressive and he has been doign it against better talent without the injury/performance questions. I think he is our first pick.
March 31st, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Guy,
Looks reasonable. But I don’t like the idea of drafting a wide receiver, cornerback and not a MLB.
Anyway, I would sellout on the offense. Get McNabb with the 2nd pick and then replace every marginal player on the offensive line.
The defense will continue to be absolute garbage…but that’s the way it is. Defense is not a priority in Oakland…at least not run defense…and I use the results of the last 7 years as evidence.
The only hope is to get way out ahead of the opponent (14 to 17 points) and force the opponent to pass so that our soft touch defense won’t have to worry about stopping the run…WHICH THEY CAN’T AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE ABLE TOO
That’s why McNabb is critical. JaDavis is not going to score…and the Gym-Rat is a marginal NFL QB that is good for 14 pts a game…that won’t get it done with our soft defense.
Need to score 28+ per game. Only McNabb is capable of leading an offense like that.

March 31st, 2010 at 8:59 pm
30 year raider,
They just don’t show you all the drops.
Anyone can look like a superstar on Yutube if you only use the highlights. Look at it again though. He’s catching the balls against his chest, and not plucking it with his hands. That may work in college, but it doesn’t in the NFL. Especially when JaMarcus is throwing fastballs.
Biggest reason though, IMO, is that there is no pressure. A second rate school with no money on the line. No national attention. Just playing a little catch in the back yard.
March 31st, 2010 at 9:09 pm

disagree completly… some were caught with his chest but the leaping catch in the endzone??? the one handed turn around??? the night game sounded like fowler callin it prob the thurs game of the week… he has some skill, we are not utilizing it correctly… i never heard of san jay lal he may need to be let go if he is not bringin out the best….

March 31st, 2010 at 9:21 pm
30 year raider
The leaping catch in the endzone was a legit catch. Agreed.
The one handed turn around? He bobbled the ball and grabbed it as it was landing on his chest. Chances are, against a quality NFL CB, that pass would be broken up. CBs usually break up passes that are bobbled and not tucked away.
There’s no doubt he made some high quality catches. He never would have been a first round consideration if he didn’t. My point is that the warning signs were there. And if you go off a high light package then you’ll miss the total story about a player.
The scouts watch all the film on a player, even when they don’t throw the ball to him.
Youtube usually only shows the great plays and not the drops.

March 31st, 2010 at 9:31 pm
If DHB was not the clear #1 best receiver available in the draft, then thers is no way he should have been selected that high.
The biggest question I had about DHB was why he chose to go to Maryland?
With his size and speed he could have gone anywhere. Instead he goes to a second tier school with no real QB and that focuses on running the ball. Did he want to catch the ball? Did he want to be the best WR he could be? Why not?

The coaching staff must have had plays drawn up for him, but for some reason the didn’t work, or were changed.

For all you posters who insist on politicizing this blog. Here’s some food for thought from Bil Cosby. This will be my one and only non-football entry:
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012..
HERE IS MY PLATFORM:
(1). Any use of the phrase: ‘Press 1 for English’ is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can.
(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports, and we’ll do no exports. We will use the ‘Wal-Mart ’s policy, ‘If we ain’t got it, you don’t need it.’ We’ll make it here and sell it here!
(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here..
(4).. All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.
(5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn’t put nuttin in, you ain’t gettin nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
(6). Welfare. — Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades.
(7). Professional Athletes — Steroids? The FIRST time you check positive you’re banned from sports … for life.
(8). Crime — We will adopt the Turkish method, i.e., the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more ‘life sentences’. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
(9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
(10). All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we’ll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it’s a worthy cause.
(11). The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.
(12). The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.
My apology is offered if I’ve stepped on anyone’s toes …..
nevertheless….
GOD BLESS AMERICA !
Sincerely, Bill Cosby

More from Snopes.com, JB, even though it doesn’t matter to you:
Just before the 2008 U.S. presidential election, Bill Cosby himself disclaimed involvement with this “write-in candidate” e-mail on his web site:
BILL COSBY IS NOT A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT
I am not a write-in candidate for President. The statement purportedly from me stating that I am a candidate is a hoax. The platform attributed to me (and at various times to Robin Williams, Andy Rooney and George Carlin) does not represent my views and in many respects is abhorrent to me. Apparently those bloggers and websites who continue to spread this hoax do not care to do even minimal fact checking.

Now back to football. Having a real QB in here would be a good thing. However, if McNabb doesn’t want to play for Oakland, so be it. This too will pass. Actually, if we beef up both line and add a new MLB, what we have could be competitive as long as we play to our strengths and not our opponents. If our D can step up and play top 5 or even top 10 defense, we have enough, assuming good play calling, to win more than our share – especially in the weak AFC-West.
We need the big nose tackle on D and the run thumping MLB. Add to that Wimbley at one side and Scott on the other and we just might be able to stuff runs and stop passing games.
We need a new C, RG & RT or LT. I’m hoping our first pick is Pouncey-C. We need someone to replace the mop handle and Carlisle. Walker could work at the guard position if needed. Ideally, we could get someone like Mitch Petrus in the 4th round. He may go before then but you never know. Gradkowski or whoever, could operate behind a rebuilt line. Good play calling by Hue Jackson can make all the difference. Of course this all depends on what Crazy Uncle Al does in the draft.

What fans don’t realize is when I signed that contract I offered to give it back.
===============================================
Oh, I realize that Javon. And many others do too. I realize that Davis was a fool to pay you all that money to come here in the first place and an even bigger fool to turn down your refund.
^^^^^^^^^^
Another one of the MANY screw ups Al Davis has made the last 7 years to screw over this franchise and team.
Terrible! Those type of mistakes need to freakin end…..or this team will never be respectable again.
March 31st, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Lot of ifs and mights in there, JB.
March 31st, 2010 at 10:22 pm
The more ifs and mights, the less chances a team truly has.
March 31st, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Here’s my picks:
1. Maurike Pouncey, C
2. Dan Williams, DT if he’s still there
3. Donald Butler, MLB
4. Mitch Petrus, OG
5A. Tony Washington, OT
5B. John Conner, FB
7A. Alfonso Smith, RB(PR/KR) 4.38/40
7B. Denji Karim, RB(PR/KR) 4.40/40
March 31st, 2010 at 10:26 pm
Exactly Dnight. And I hope Davis doesn’t funk up the 1st and 2nd round picks. Otherwise, just trade the f’n picks away for some proven players. Heck, trade our 1st and maybe even a player for Michael Oher.
March 31st, 2010 at 10:27 pm

If Any Reid told McNabb that they wanted to start Kolb, I think McNabb would soon be calling Gradkowski offering to rent the number 5 from him.
March 31st, 2010 at 10:32 pm
What is the status or Oren O’Neal and J.P Losman? Losman should be in the competitive run for QB. And, if O’Neal has healed up and can play that would open another draft slot for another O-lineman.
We absolutely need to rebuild both lines and upgrade the back-ups.

Can’t argue that point. You are probably right and AD would have a press conference where McNabb would extol the virtues of the S&B and then go on to tell everyone that he’s always dreamed of being a Raider – Please, give me a break. Just throw the damn ball and STFU.

re: Post # 3
I love it when the writer tries to rip TMZ as a joke news source.
TMZ seems to have reporters all over and they break many news stories. They were the first with the Micheal Jackson story among others. Just because they focus on celebs, doesn’t mean they are not a legit news source.
Sorry JOE KUKURA, I guess you just wasted your three years at journalism school, and your English degree from NorthWestern. Only to get beaten to the headline by a bunch of skateboarding paparazzi.
^^^^^^^^^^
TMZ may get news stories but the are unethical in they do it. They don’t have “reporters everywhere” they have ass clown low life paparazzi everywhere or wannabe reporters who happen to snap a photo here and there if they run into a rich overexposed celeb, or athlete and SELL those photos or “newstory” for a PRICE.
There is no integrity and ethics in modern “journalism” anymore.

People wouldn’t give a damn where he goes or what he does or with who as long as he gave an efort or impression of an effort that he gives a schit and/or was making an effort to become the franchise QB.

Mostly a reader, but what do you guys think of this mock:

would have been taken earlier, but I think he has work ethic issues, hopefully Cable can coach him up well. He is an athletic and polished tackle from what I read.
2. DT Cam Thomas/ Lamarr Houston
I am torn here, not sure which is a better fit for our D. I don’t want college football.
3. WR Jacoby Ford
He is a speedster Al will love and could be a great kick returner for us. Possibly replaces Higgins if Higgins is still giving minimal effort.
4. OG Mitch Petrus or the OG from Alabama.
I think he is a good Run blocker and he blocked for McFadden.
5a. Center
Do not know much about the centers in this draft.
5b. Cb Donovan Warren
Before the combine, he was top corner and fell a lot due to poor forties. I am hearing he will be a steal.
If he is gone, let Al pick a physical specimen.
7a and 7b. Let Al do what he does best, find late round steals.

*******************
1 & 2 are OK but we don’t need another WR. We can get real fast RB for PR/KR in the 7th round. I’d rather go for the much needed MLB with #3. Agree on #4 but the center we needed, Pouncey is long gone after the 1st round. To me, the center is MORE important that the tackle. He’s the QB of the O-line and makes all the blocking calls. Our last good center was Barrett Robbins. You don’t need a run blocker for DMac. He’s an in the open field runner only. He’s not worth a damn between the tackles. Just my opinion. Let him run out of the slot or on swing passes. We only need a CB if we lose Rhoutt. Otherwise all 5 level picks should be O-linemen. Again, my opinion. The 7th round is where we can find some Raider Speed RB for returns. Overall, you are going the right direction for the most part.

I mean, we scored 13 points. Our offense didn’t even show up. It means we have some decent talent on defense, at least where pass coverage is concerned. We’re just not using them right. We have potential to be the best pass defense in the league, by far, which isn’t shabby considering it’s a passing league now.

No, our O-line was that bad. With no O-line there will be few gained yards on the ground in this league. The defenses are just too fast and too good at what they do. AP wouldn’t ave been any good behind this year’s line. The whole right side including the center was just getting stuffed. Gallery was the only strong player in there and Henderson was only good in there when Gallery had his back.

I certainly think the Raiders are interested, but the selling point is going to be compensation to the Eagles. I don’t think the Raiders ever would have guessed that a QB of McNabb’s calibur could be had for a 2nd rounder prior to the draft and I’m sure Davis/Cable had a player or position in mind to select there (hopefully a lineman!)

April 1st, 2010 at 7:34 am
Adam Schefter reported last night that despite the denial, the Raiders are still the clear cut favorite & frontrunner to land McNabb.
said they could be waiting for the Eagles to lower their asking price, since they don’t seem overly concerned about McNabb’s roster bonus due in May or the fact that he only has 1 year left on his current contract.
smart move by the Raiders, unless of course this entire story is just horse crap!

next 3 games against the Jazz, Spurs & Nuggets (playoff teams)
April 1st, 2010 at 7:45 am
then the Lakers play Portland on 4/11
another playoff team …
April 1st, 2010 at 7:46 am
Remember that Bynum is out and Vujacic has been benched because of an argument with the coaches for the past 2 games. I still worry that they are playing their worst when they should be peaking.
April 1st, 2010 at 7:47 am
Sounds like if you’re a Lakers fan you might want to start thinking ’bout next season.

in 2007 Jeff Garcia said he’d sign with the Raiders if they could guarantee him they wouldn’t take a QB in Round 1. They wouldn’t do it, so he chose Tampa Bay & made the playoffs & Pro Bowl
the Raider drafted JaMarcus Russell and well, we all know how that turned out!
Donovan McNabb might tell St Louis the same thing … I don’t think he just wants to be just a 1 year stopgap mentor guy (unless he gets traded against his will to a losing them with an awful O-Line) but we were talking about if he was released which team he would actually CHOOSE
April 1st, 2010 at 7:52 am
Arizona has interest in a Matt Leinart/Derek Anderson QB competition though … unless a team is willing to trade for Leinart!
very doubtful

McNabb and Suh will be fix the mist important issues on this team:
1- we couldn’t score or do much on offense
2- we have not been able to stop/ slow the run for years.
I had high hopes for DMC, but 3.+YPC is a joke. Even Bush avg was more by a YARD.

the only DT’s they have are Chris Hovan (32 years old), Ryan Sims (1st round bust from KC), Dre Moore & Roy Miller
the Bucs will take Suh or McCoy. bank on it

thats the kind of mega deal it’ll take to pull off something like you’re propsing …
April 1st, 2010 at 9:21 am
RR,
It’s not easy especialy that we don’t have a 1st next year to trade, but I think Al will make it happen. Do they need a S, HB, or a CB? I’m to break the bank for this one. BOA but Not BOO.
April 1st, 2010 at 9:21 am
Morning Nation
April 1st, 2010 at 9:22 am
the Bucs would essentially get N21, DT Kelly and draft Jason Pierre-Paul at #8
we would get Suh and with two 2nd rounders could get McNabb and an OT to protect him
but then you’d better hope that Routt & Johnson are good enough at corner for 16 games!
April 1st, 2010 at 9:22 am
I’m welling to break the bank…*
April 1st, 2010 at 9:22 am
All this tackle talk hinges on is if Al has lost faith in Henderson. Otherwise we will not draft a tackle at 8.

Raider O: would you trade pick #8, Nnamdi Asomugha & Tommy Kelly for Suh and the Bucs 2nd rounder?
April 1st, 2010 at 9:25 am
Wish we would trade back and pick up Pouncy. Think he is a cant miss. Also a better guard than Lupita. But would leave him at center.
April 1st, 2010 at 9:26 am
I don’t like the idea of trading Nnamdi, I would try to find other options (not Z Miller), but if I couldn’t.., I don’t know dude. I have to think about this one.
April 1st, 2010 at 9:26 am
Aso and Kelly and our third for Tampas one would be fair.

he’s the only guy on the team with trade value!
haha. plus he’s due $15 million this year and $20 million next year
way too expensive considering this team doesn’t ask him to shadow the other team’s #1 WR and annually makes no attempt to address one of the league’s worst run defenses
N21’s talents are wasted in Oakland
April 1st, 2010 at 9:32 am
NFL.com draft analyst Gil Brandt believes Rutgers LT Anthony Davis could go as high as No. 8 overall or as low as the 20s.
The Raiders draft eighth, and they need a tackle. Scouts still question Davis’ attitude, strength, and weight issues, but his game tape is excellent. His private workout earlier in the week was solid enough to bring his stock back into the top-15.
Source: Newark Star-Ledger
April 1st, 2010 at 9:34 am
Aso and Kelly and our third for Tampas one would be fair.
***
nice scenario Bells. that would be a very attractive offer to the Bucs though, because Nnamdi alone is worth more than a 1st rounder!
throwing in Kelly (overpaid, but at like he’s a starter) and a 3rd rounder? Tampa Bay would be stupid to turn down that offer!
Al Davis would probably then take Suh at #3 and at #8 take Kyle Wilson (to replace Nnamdi) instead of one of the Cadillacs left on the board
April 1st, 2010 at 9:34 am
You get rid of Nnamdi, then we’ll have problems w/ our pass D.
CJ & Routt???????????
No Thanx
April 1st, 2010 at 9:34 am
PB DL in the NFL are talking about this Kid, and talking about his amazing talent. He is a Beast, and he destroyed Texas by himself! I think he is one the best DT prospectS in the last 15 years. I would Say D Russell (RIP), Big Albert, and Nagata were great prospects too.

Look I give the crowd props for being there, it was miserable weather with no Manny and a preseason game to begin with. There was something like 11,000 people, all decked out in their Dodger gear. Definately have a solid following.
I have never been to any sporting event in LA, but all the sterotypes held true. Everyone was late, nobody is watching the game and people didn’t seem to know much about the strategy. Just one big party in the cold.
Must be a LA thing.

DMAC: good chance of that happening, but Raider O was thinking of ways to get Suh in Oakland and I described one possible trade scenario
they aren’t going to move down 6 spots and miss out on Suh or McCoy for a few guys like Morrison & Howard who haven’t even visited another NFL team yet and they’ve been on the market for almost a month
TB could get Antonio Pierce & Keith Bulluck in free agency for nothing. then draft one of these DT beasts
April 1st, 2010 at 9:41 am
In Cables’ mind : The ideal series
1st and 10 – The QB hands off to DMc who stumbles upon getting the ball subsequently crashing into the rear end of his RG. No gain on the play.
2nd and 10 – Wildhog formation. #20 takes a direct snap but the ball bounces off his hands to the turf. McF pounces on the ball as he is swarmed under. Loss of 4 on the play.
3rd and 14 – Shotgun formation. DMc flanks out to the right. Prior to the snap #20 goes in motion across the formation. QB passes the ball to McF out in the left flat. McF decides to take the ball wide and just as he reaches the boundary he is hit resulting in the ball being fumbled out of bounds. Gain of 4 on the play.
4th and 10 – Lechler time.
you see? ideal. no penalties. no turnovers.
Hugh Jackson to the rescue (cue the William Tell Overture).

I hear what your saying, but I think that’s just patching things up.

Ted Ginn’s drop percentage of 20.83 last season was third worst in the NFL behind only Mark Bradley (25.00) and James Jones (21.95).
Source: South Florida Sun-Sentinel
============================================
There was someone worse than DHB???????????
April 1st, 2010 at 9:47 am
DMAC: I don’t want us to move N21 either …
but I think our defense would be a whole lot better if we addressed the run defense by drafting a big hog like Dan Williams to plug the middle of the DL at nose tackle. teams would be forced to pass. that means more opportunity for Nnamdi & others to create turnovers, especially with some sort of pass rush
but N21 as is right now is a huge waste of money, because we aren’t using him properly and the run defense is terrible so teams don’t feel the need to throw it his way or even throw it AT ALL
April 1st, 2010 at 9:48 am
Sorry O, I have been readin, just no postin.
We need a better O-line, but if Henderson is the guy, we can get a RT in the second like Saffold. Pouncy would be good too.

Dakota,
after long consideration I have determined the ideal position for your boy DMc.
he should be the operator of the machine that sprays the hash marks on the field.
it would be filmed and shown upon the screens of football stadiums nationwide as something akin to a Simpson’s episode. comedic relief between quarters.
DMc lines up his machine. (Spritz). As he turns his machine to next yard line he trips over the freshly painted hash mark. D’oh! and down he goes. Getting up DMc mumbles “stupid white line…”
He lines up his machine to paint the next mark and then as he turns, D’oh!. “Stupid white line…”
He’ll start at the one yard line and move down the field tripping over every hash mark he has painted, but he will only intermittently trip over the full yard lines at five yard intervals so there will be laughter and tension each week as people guess whether DMc will trip over the 25 or 45 yard line or he will remain on his feet.
he can wear his #20 jersey to make certain people recognize him.

I want Okung, but I do not think he will be there. If he is he is our guy at LT, move MH to RT, or RG.
Bryan Bulaga is more likly to be there, and looks to be close in production. He is from Iowa… so.. RG2?
If we come away with a heavy DT, and two good OL, it will be a good draft. A true MLB is also a need.
Bryan Bulaga is the pick.

SAN FRANCISCO — Raiders Wide Receiver Louis Murphy says he wouldn’t change his rookie year for anything. He knows that what he learned in his turbulent first year will serve him well as he heads into his second training camp with the Raiders.
Turbulent, sure, but Murphy still managed 34 catches for 521 yards and four touchdowns in 2009, the most touchdown receptions by any player on the team.
The ex-Florida Gator also says the new Raiders offense led by Hue Jackson will offer many more challenges for opposing defenses in 2010. And his good friend JaMarcus Russell? Murphy says the embattled Raiders quarterback is already embracing the role of “leader by example.”

Besides these two, same ol story.
I think Hue will be a bigger help that average players. I believe in our case we are not scoring because of scheem, not players.
Even with our poor run stoping, if we could run block, and pass block better, (with out penalty) our entire team will be better…. More time our O is on the field, D gets a rest, more points, our BIG play makers get more shots at an open field… ect.
I am still waiting for that 80 yard plus run from McFaddy. Heck, even out Man, Mr. Wheatley did that.

All kidding aside, Russell did have a ton of passes dropped by his WRs last year. But that just goes to show the importance of the WR/QB relationship. If Russell spent more time before and after practice, or in the offseason just throwing with his WRs their drops would naturally go down and his completion % would go up.
Too bad Russell is a lazy fat fuk that arrives at practice one minute early and then speed drives to taco bell without even showering after practice.

Chiefs Offer Kirk Morrison A Contract
According to multiple sources restricted free agent linebacker Kirk Morrison has agreed to a new contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Raiders has five days to match the offer, which is reportedly $45 million for four years with $13 million in guarantees.
I always thought Morrison was the best player on the Raiders defense and now he could be coming to help out the Chiefs struggling defense.
The Chiefs would give up a third round draft pick should the Raiders decide not to match.
More to come…

April 1st, 2010 at 11:01 am
Good news on two fronts: Morrison offered a contract @ KC. We certainly can make god use of another 3rd round pick and now we know where DMac can run when we play KC.
That new pick should put us in good position to pick up Mitch Petrus, OG, in the draft:
TOP RATED NFL DRAFT SCOUT OFFENSIVE GUARDS: Mitch Petrus, Arkansas, 6-3, 310, 3-4: Keeping track of Petrus on and off the field was a significant chore. He was originally a walk-on tight end, then switched to offensive guard, then fullback and back to guard in 2007. Oh, and his first name is really Jonathan, but he goes by the short version of Mitchell, his middle name. When he finally settled in at guard, Petrus earned second-team all-SEC honors. But just when it seemed he’d found his way, Petrus missed the 2008 season because of an academic suspension. He returned for an outstanding season in 2009. The former 225-pound walk-on tied a combine record in the 225-pound bench press with 45 repetitions. – Frank Cooney, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com/CBS Sports/USA TODAY
Besides, with our new acquisition of Wimbley & our soon to be drafted new MLB, Donald Holland, Morrison would have been back-up status at best. Thank you KC.

was it Lombardi who said, “There are three things that can happen on a pass play and two of them are bad.”
Raider fans know from watching JaFranchise that ol’ Vince was in error. There are five things that can happen and only one is good.
admit it brethren, when JaM goes into pass mode your subconscious goes on alert. you watch the play unfold but your brain is thinking “don’t get sacked!” “don’t fumble!” “don’t throw an uncatchable ball!” “don’t throw a pick!” – the mind barely registers that the play will result in a completed pass.
same goes for a pitch or hand-off to DMc – first thought is “hold onto the ball!”

Assuming we do pick up a real MLB in the draft, I’d assume that both Morrison & Howard will be back-ups and playing on 3rd down obvious passing downs. In that role they both do fairly well. As I se it, Scott (SSLB), Wimbley (WSLB) & the new MLB, hopefully Donald Butler will be our new run stuffing LB’ing trio.

I don’t hate DMac. I just think he’s not being used correctly. I think he should be a Wes Welker type slot receiver. I don’t ever think he will be consistently effective between the tacklers. He could be a real asset if used correctly.
April 1st, 2010 at 11:22 am
I put the ceiling on McFadden as an effective change of pace back, with good pass-catching ability.

Oh, and Dmac stays. For now.
I hope the injury thing is just bad luck on his part, because he was very durable at Arkansas and his being banged up has obviously affected his performance here.
So, maybe he has a better year, health-wise, and we can see what we have. Besides, with the money he makes it’s not like somebody else is going to pick up his contract or anything.
April 1st, 2010 at 11:29 am
Good almost afternoon Nation, the only Nation.
Dmac is a good back, i just think he is not suited for the zone blocking system.
He is an instinctive runner and cannot get to fullspeed if he has to cut back. That takes away his speed, he needs to hit the hole and go as he see’s it.
Also having a fullback in there with the zone blocking just plugs the hole even more.
He and Mbush would benifit from a power running attack, like Wheatley and Garner.

Cable sucks bad, he has no clue as to how to game plan. Then when his plan goes array, he plays the blame game. Saying Jmac this and that, see Jmac is an easy target by many. All Cable is doing is buying himself another year and another let down.
My plan would be to get McNabb and coach Reid for our first rounder. Since Reid wants McNabb and the eagles dont, why not? and he is also a GM.
April 1st, 2010 at 11:41 am
AD will re-draft Jamarcus Russell, because he is a GREAT player… so get over it.
April 1st, 2010 at 11:43 am
So. Hue Jackson was hired, in Tom Cable’s words, to “score points”. He is responsible for the offense and performance of same.
Tom Cable, in addition to “dominating the locker room”, is also responsible for phasing out the ZBS and installing a more power-oriented blocking scheme. (Just my guess; also a theory of mine that this is one of the reasons he was/was not going to be the head coach in 2010. Al said “This is what I want, and you can stay and help implement it or you can pack your bags.”)
Now, with Fargas gone, there is to be a competition between Bush and Dmac to determine who the “feature back” will be (also Al, in my view).
Who decides who the starter will be?
April 1st, 2010 at 11:55 am
I was bored so I made a Raider All star team. My “team” consists of players starting from 1990-present. Keep in mind that the players I selected only had to be on the Raiders for 1 year and not neccasarily had there best years with the Silver n Black. Picture this team when the guys were in there “prime”. Forgive me, Just trying to kill some time.

I HOPE that DMAC proves me wrong.
I know we don’t use him properly and or O line sucks.
But that don’t excuse him being caught from behind when he is already 5yds ahead of last defender.
Or falling down when he sees a defender before getting touched.
Or his poor vision in the open field not knowing when to strecth the play outside to use his speed on the edge.
Or him willingly running out of bounds.
When he does cut back it’s away from the open lane into lore defenders.
Again. I hope he breaks out this year
even tho it’s more likely he breaks… Down that is

===================
Bryants much anticipated Pro day yielded a 40 time no better than a 4.52 and we took a wide at 7 in the 1st last year, plus Murphy showed signs of growth and Chaz Schilens gets one more chance to prove he can play 16 games.
I know you were kidding, but still…
Heres why I think Bryant could be the Brady Quinn of this draft besides not being prepped for his Pro day and off field issues.
Terrell Owens and Brandon Marshall are still in play.
Someone may take a flyer ( I hope its Denver so they get fugged by another WR.) but Bryant’s red flags are likey for cause.

Dammit… Dan Land was my favorite. For nothing else other than the game against the Broncos when on a punt the Bronco CLEARLY called for a fair catch and Dan Land SMEARED him anyways. Best penalty and ejection EVER!

I’m all for picking OL in 3rd and 4th if even for depth but those guys may not start right away
***
I think Matthew Tennant, Ciron Black, Jason Fox & Kyle Calloway can start right away … just my opinion though
^^^^^^^^
I’m high on Black and Calloway. They are big and play with power and give move in a power ZBS or a counter or man blocking scheme.
Tennant is solid….but he is weighs less than 300 pounds and Fox barely weighs 300.
The Raiders need bigger and more powerful O-Linemen who are mobile for their size.
