Cartwright signing official
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010 at 2:13 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders confirmed the signing of running back Rock Cartwright Wednesday on their Web site, adding depth to a thin corps of running backs.
Cartwright was at the facility and will participate in the minicamp this weekend. The Raiders are looking for a third running back to team with Darren McFadden and Michael Bush after cutting Justin Fargas in the offseason. Cartwright has extensive fill-in duty as a member of the Washington Redskins.

Lol, I hope Russell fakes an injury and bilks Al out of another $10 million dollars…Al deserves it for keeping that cancer in the locker-room.
April 28th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
By keeping him only give him the ability to screw the Raiders even more. you know his fat azz WILL fake an injury.
April 28th, 2010 at 2:18 pm
I think the raiders are making russell show for camp so everyone can see how fat he is. He should be fired for cause, ala kiffen… seriously, Al should have put a weight clause in his contract…
April 28th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
You know how hard it is for Al to let go of players he drafted that are projects. Al could draft a 6 foot pile of steaming cow schyt and he would protect it like it was gold.
April 28th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
No Mas Diamante,
Trust me, no one needs to see more evidence proving Russell needs to be cut….and Al should fire hiself as GM for cause.
April 28th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
or himself….

Not sure I think Veldheer can crack the starting line up this season. Hope he doesn’t HAVE to.
Maybe in certain packages…

HA! Didn’t you see Russell at the burger shop, or was it at the track?

April 28th, 2010 at 2:28 pm
7. Russell’s clearly the bigger bust.
Leaf was immature and didn’t have the skills Russell has.
Russell just got rich and didn’t want to work anymore.
#1 overall = Biggest bust. I’m shocked and depressed. Had the kids back all along and looks I am eating crow at this point.
IF he re structures he could have a shot.
Like I’ve said, money or no I couldn’t live with myself.

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of the rumors about Russell that Jerry alluded to in the chat?

Leaf gave an interview where he said that he goes to bed at night praying that someone will be a bigger bust than him.

You’re welcome.
April 28th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
If cut and if he never catches on with another team for any signifigant period of time, I think it is clear that Russell is a bigger NFL bust than Leaf. Leaf was #2 overall and didn’t make near the money Russell screwed out of Al.
April 28th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
significant…sorry
April 28th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Yeah, see here Leaf, Russell may end up the biggest bust of all time but we’ll still remember you…”KNOCK IT OFF!!!!”

When I lived in Cali, I was building custom computers and selling them on Craigslist or through friends spreading the word about a guy who could build an awesome rig. I had plenty of money and got lazy. I ballooned up to 218 pounds before reality set in and I realized that I had to do something. I know how JR feels. When you can put in minimum effort and still come out way ahead, it’s easy to deteriorate. I, however, did NOT have coaches and team representatives telling me what I needed to be doing, giving me fines for being overweight and late to meetings, or just being on my case in general. I see how JR could have gotten this way, but I don’t understand how it could happen with all the attention he gets… unless he really just doesn’t give a sh-it AT ALL. Maybe he paid one too many visits to Bella Vista (it’s up in the mountains near Methusela Trail… and I highly recommend it. Order a glass of milk with dinner, then a glass of Jameson and check out the wine steward’s reaction as he looks back and forth from whiskey to milk… it’s priceless. Their NY Strip is fantastic, btw… it’s great to find a place who knows what “Rare” truly means)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Here’s the deal Steve,
If he’s really 300 pounds, it’ll make me sad, but I’ll give up on the guy. It seems impossible that he can be after hiring Eddie Anderson and the fact that he’s been at the facility working out. But if he is after all that, I’ll be satisfied that the team did everything that could to save him. Let’s remember that there have been several false reports about this team in recent years including that JR was three bills heading into the 2008 season. Remember the one about Cable being fired right after the season? Let’s just wait till Friday and see.

Yes, everyone knows you are posting as Seymour/Debo/ etc..but why make it so damn obvious?
No Seymour?
No Debo?
…THEN you show up and post as BOTH, within a minute? And both saying the same thing about hanging on JR’s sac, how the Raiders should keep him?
WHY EVEN USE BOTH HANDLES? It’s stupid Oakdork..
No one is fooled.
No one ever backs you and your slew of handles,..so why cross post, Pedophile?
I know, I know..you think creating another handle to post what you posted as Seymour “helps” with the credibility of your comments, but it doesn’t..makes you look needy.

Al is keeping Jamarcus so he can convert him to nose tackle.
April 28th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Dust off those JamCarcass jerseys fellas. The big boy is back for another round. I’m sure he’ll have a slightly better camp than last year–how could he not–and that will cause some sort of a QB controversy, thus spoiling the momentum of Campbells arrival, etc. Could be another implosion if Al doesn’t cut bait.
April 28th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Anyway back to football. it seems that Seymour will be lined up alot on the inside allowing shaugnessy and houston to handle the ends, with bryant adding some depth on the inside. This defense with so many hybrid parts should allow the raiders to to let the corners do what they always do, and the lbs and dline to pull all kinds of crazy imaginative schemes. With mclain and branch and mitchell we are finally solid up the middle.
Also I dont buy this cut Jamarcuss stuff. i think he will get a chance to compete this week and if he shows a drastic change he will be kept around, albeit at a seriously reduced price. Unless his agent is his cousin, he will advise him to take the cut with a chance to redeem and rebuild his reputation. After all most people dont question his talent, its the work ethic and want to that is under scrutiny.

April 28th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
Nobody knows the full story of JaMarcus Russell. If he has suffered off field trauma like Alex Smith, he deserves a second chance.
I say, put him on the bench, and let Campbell or Gradkowski run the show. If he proves he is better down the road, it was a great move. If not, nothing lost.
April 28th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
Rickosheeet, I’m still amazed by your comment that you think the Black Hole is just that part of the stadium -only with costumes.
April 28th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
If Jamarcuss can come in and be decent he is light years better than grads , and boller /frye. You need to quality qbs on the roster. garcia couldnt motivate Jamarcuss because Jamracuss Knew he was more talented and Garcia was to old to be considered a long term answer. you cannot make that case for Campbell, almost as much natural talent, and young enough to be around for the next 5-8 years. Maybe this has jamracuss attention.
This is a classic Al Davis move. Bring in more talent, cause controversy, let everyone speculate and let your personnel dangle in the wind while he looks for strengths, or cracks in the armor. For an example see Marcus Allen and BO Jackson.
April 28th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
Geez…Seymour Bush AND Debo show up at exactly the same time…..post almost identical messages about “We should KEEP JR.”….then both leave…at exactly the same time.
Coincidence??
Yeah….that’s what it is..a “coincidence”.
Next few days Oakglen will be careful on not signing in under both handles at the same time…but then,..he’ll be right back to “Dumb and Dumber”.

Man, victory never tasted so sweet! Not the draft, fools, the fact that Krappy hasn’t come slithering back into the blog in over a week.
I guess the old fool finally realized he needed to accomplish something in his life or his wife would never trim that offensive bowl cut.
I’d pay just about anything to see him “working the phones” trying to drum up a buyer for that town home / horse barn! Bet it would sound much like Jamarcus trying to read Shakespeare through a mouthful of Rice Crispy treats. Only crispier.
Oh yeah, and EnglandRaider – dude, even if you had your feelings hurt by rich o’ chet, its not very cool to whine and cry about it all over the blog.

April 28th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
Gotta admit that all the excessive piling on of Russell has me somewhat rooting for the kid to pull off one of those back from the brink stories. Do I expect it to happen? I’d be totally shocked.
Corey Chavous nailed it during the draft when the news about the Jason Campbell trade broke on Saturday. It’s something I’ve mentioned several times. It’s that JaMarcus’ biggest problem as a football player is that he needs to speed up his mental clock. It’s not his bling, his weight or even his work ethic (Plenty of hardworking players have been busts. You think Brett Favre or Dan Marino were ever the hardest working guys on their teams?). JaMarcus has no sense of urgency in breaking the huddle and getting the ball snapped (how many times has he had to burn a timeout because the play clock was about to run out). He has no sense of urgency in dropping back from center. No sense of urgency in getting rid of the ball. All of this leads to lost timeouts, a disjointed offense, sacks and fumbles. The only time he plays OK is in the last 5 minutes of games in which we’re trailing and within a score. That’s when the sense of urgency kicks in and he speeds up his game and is capable of getting a few things done.
The work ethic is definitely a problem that holds back the whole team because his lack of preparation limits what they can attempt. But if the kid just came out and got after it at full speed all the time instead of worrying about trying to look cool and being all lackadaisical all the time he might’ve had a shot.

=============================
Huh?
Off field trauma like Smith?
Smith suffered an ON field shoulder separation, that ended up in a couple of surgeries. Don’t know about anything off field.
As far as JR?
What he’s suffered from is not doing one single thing ON the field, practice, or games, that says he should be paid an extra penny.
JR is the equivalent to buying a Studebaker.
Doesn’t matter how much time and money you put into it, it’s still a Studebaker, and won’t ever compete with the big boys.

I believe he deserves a second chance, just like you FP. We have to look out for our team. After all, He looked pretty good beating Tampa Bay a couple years ago, if you were there……..

71. Chris,
Its more than just Russell getting hyped up to play for sure, but it could be a component.
Chavous did a good job filling in for Mayock who sat out with a sore throat but he got toasted saying Denvers pick of Perrish Cox was a good one.
Chavous claimed Cox’s tight hips were the reason he slipped down the draft but he he was reminded Cox was suspended twice (once for the Cottonbowl!) and barred from the campus for OSU’s pro day.
He’s not one of McDanile’s character guys for sure.

If Jamarcuss can come in and be decent he is light years better than grads , and boller /frye. You need to quality qbs on the roster. garcia couldnt motivate Jamarcuss because Jamracuss Knew he was more talented and Garcia was to old to be considered a long term answer. you cannot make that case for Campbell, almost as much natural talent, and young enough to be around for the next 5-8 years. Maybe this has jamracuss attention.
This is a classic Al Davis move. Bring in more talent, cause controversy, let everyone speculate and let your personnel dangle in the wind while he looks for strengths, or cracks in the armor. For an example see Marcus Allen and BO Jackson.

perhaps the depression comes from somewhere in the back of his mind knowing that if he had put in just a bit of effort and took a tiny bit of responsiblitity along with showing even the smallest hint that he could be a real quarterback then the 30-something million could’ve been 62 million dollars.

Regarding Post 86 – Tebow’s jersey sales will have nothing to do with his performance as an NFL QB. He was one of the 5 or so best college players of all time. That and his personality that is a lightining rod does this. Tebow, mark my words will be a bust just like Russell is currently a bust but Denver did not expend a number one overall pick for him. Also Tebow will be a bust because he simply does not have the gift of a fast release and mechanics. Russell was a bust because he was better gifted but was not willing to really put in the work to overcome some of his issues like weight, footwork and moving from spread to under huddle. Russell on rare occassions when he got confident could actually look like an NFL QB – Tebow never will except for wildcat formations.

April 28th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
Gotta admit that all the excessive piling on of Russell has me somewhat rooting for the kid to pull off one of those back from the brink stories. Do I expect it to happen? I’d be totally shocked.
Corey Chavous nailed it during the draft when the news about the Jason Campbell trade broke on Saturday. It’s something I’ve mentioned several times. It’s that JaMarcus’ biggest problem as a football player is that he needs to speed up his mental clock. It’s not his bling, his weight or even his work ethic (Plenty of hardworking players have been busts. You think Brett Favre or Dan Marino were ever the hardest working guys on their teams?). JaMarcus has no sense of urgency in breaking the huddle and getting the ball snapped (how many times has he had to burn a timeout because the play clock was about to run out). He has no sense of urgency in dropping back from center. No sense of urgency in getting rid of the ball. All of this leads to lost timeouts, a disjointed offense, sacks and fumbles. The only time he plays OK is in the last 5 minutes of games in which we’re trailing and within a score. That’s when the sense of urgency kicks in and he speeds up his game and is capable of getting a few things done.
The work ethic is definitely a problem that holds back the whole team because his lack of preparation limits what they can attempt. But if the kid just came out and got after it at full speed all the time instead of worrying about trying to look cool and being all lackadaisical all the time he might’ve had a shot.
=========================================
I have said this same exact thing many many many times. Russell needs to speed up his game. This happens with practically EVERYONE who comes in the league. Look at Mike Huff. What was the problem with Huff the first three years in the league? Or Vernon Davis his first three years? Mike Huff was a consensus lst team All American, he was the Thorpe award winner for best defensive back in the nation and he had a MONSTER game in the National Championship that his Longhorn team won. Why wasn’t he an instant star? He forgot how to play the game? He wasn’t playing the game fast enough. If Russell played faster, Russell would be better.

Jamarcus has something like 30 career starts which isn’t enough time to give up on a quarterback however he has not shown he is the type of player work-ethic wise the team is looking for. Because of his potential it’s worth putting him in the qb competition to see if he’s on board with the team concept and see if he’s one of the 3 best qbs we have keeping him around only of course at a reduced rate. Similar to former super talented USC receiver Mike Williams, I just don’t see Russell ever looking like the guy he did in college
April 28th, 2010 at 3:53 pm

At 9 million dollars cost for a longshot that he will ever get his mind striaght JR should have already been cut. That six million dollars in savings could be used to sign a FA DT, OT, or other talent.
In looking at him coming out of college his issues I thought would keep him from being anything but below average to average as an NFL QB. Remember Jeff George had a big arm too so did Andrew Walter!
I have never understood what all the JR apologists saw in this guy. I mean when he started I hoped he would play well and in 2008 I was more than happy to hope to be wrong but as soon as teams studied him and found his flaws he was toast. He was absolutely horrible in the the 09 preseason against even vanilla defenses!

Your comparison to Walter is interesting. Walter did the same thing: held the ball too long and took sacks. Walter also did not have a lot of talent around him. Russell has made 26 starts in the NFL. If teams cut every player that did not look good in a year and a half of starting there would be about fifty guys playing in the entire NFL.

The “talent around him’ arguement fizzled when lowly journeyman Bruce Gradkowski came in with less practice time and led the same talent to almost twice as many points per game. He also matched JRs win total in 1/3rd the starts with the same talent.

117. HUFF also had trouble adjusting to the old school single high safety. Just no starting to get it.
Nnamdi on NFLN rebutted Sapp’s contention that Daivs’s dated defenses and lack of diversification put corners in a bad position.
Nnamdi simply said once you understand why you’re playing it you can see the benfits IF you’re a good CB.
Nnamdi simply went “This is my lot, I’m going to submit and work as hard as I can to be good at it” rather than bish and blame it for my failings.

There has never been a QB that had as bad a year as Jamarcus Russell did last year in his 3rd year and ever amounted to anything.
A few guys had almost as bad rookie and 2nd years, but not in their 3rd.
The league got some film on him and caught up to him and he played right into their hands, relying on his arm strength, staring down receivers and having issues with ball security.
He could come in at 255 pounds and that stuff still might not improve.
April 28th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
1960 – Ah yes, the coaching that ran “camp Russell” last year.
Like when Jerry told George in Seinfeld
“You need to have a whole team of specialists studying you, analyzing you round the clock.”
Even that didn’t help.
April 28th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
Pretty simple. If Russell restructures he can stay.
If he refuses, he’s gone and Denver or KC will pick him up and make him a division winning champion for the next 10 yrs.
I hope Oakland uses that obscure clause they put in his contract about hamstringing him with a rusty spoon should he leave…
“Mmmm, ham…”

1960, I think Gradkowski is a better QB than Russell, fundamentally, he’s just injury prone(there’s a reason he’s on the Raiders…). That being said, Russell is not the reason we’re as bad as we are. The reason we’re as bad as we are is the same reason we were bad the 5 seasons before Russell started.

Post #143 Exactly. that is why JR needs to work his butt off trying to create new tricks and stop staring down receievers and develop a touch game and short timing passing game so they can not focus on that stuff – but he eighter can’t or won’t – that much is obvious from last year.

The “talent around him’ arguement fizzled when lowly journeyman Bruce Gradkowski came in with less practice time and led the same talent to almost twice as many points per game. He also matched JRs win total in 1/3rd the starts with the same talent.
Next excuse please.
====================================
No one is making excuses. The team played with more urgency and more of a hunger to win under Gradkowski. That was clearly evident. Is everything that went wrong the last three years Russells fault? Clearly not. Some is, some isn’t. Did he improve during the course of 2008? Yes. Did the team? Yes. He needs someone to push him. Campbell is that guy.

1960, I think Gradkowski is a better QB than Russell, fundamentally, he’s just injury prone(there’s a reason he’s on the Raiders…). That being said, Russell is not the reason we’re as bad as we are. The reason we’re as bad as we are is the same reason we were bad the 5 seasons before Russell started.
MR
I get that – Al Davis needs to let go and delegate – he can not possibly keep up at his age considering the typical GM/HeadCoach is working 60-70 hours a week.
I keep looking for signs of it – signs of hope. Letting go of Russell and making the defense more diverse would be promising signs he is delegating if there is follow through.

Grads sucks and was cut from bottom basement teams. The Raiders where the only ones to have him like Luke Lawton.
Makes Russell look even worse because he clearly (#1 overall) was considered a better QB prospect.
I think many feel even with ADEQUATE play at QB this team could’ve been better.
What reason for being bad is that RMR?

There has never been a QB that had as bad a year as Jamarcus Russell did last year in his 3rd year and ever amounted to anything.
A few guys had almost as bad rookie and 2nd years, but not in their 3rd.
The league got some film on him and caught up to him and he played right into their hands, relying on his arm strength, staring down receivers and having issues with ball security.
He could come in at 255 pounds and that stuff still might not improve.
=====================================================
Teams just came in and blitzed the death out of both Russell and the run game. We all knew it before the season started. Until he could make the blitzing stop by making plays in the passing game, that was what was going to happen. He was never able to do that for a variety of reasons. That is not unusual with young Q’s in the league.
April 28th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Why is it so hard for people to understand that a strong arm is no more “talent” than having thick hair or big feet? It is ONE physical tool. Assuming Russell is more talented than anybody is like assuming the fastest guy at the olympics will be a great WR.
Pocket presence, leadership, intelligence, reading a defense, work ethic, accuracy, touch and attention to detail are the talents of an NFL QB. Russell has none of these and won’t have these at any weight or with any talent around him.

I don’t think there’s any racism going on regarding the Russell situation at least where Raiders’ management is concerned..but amongst the fans? My god. It’s a no brainer. Look at all of the Davis worshipers that finally turned on him. Trading Gruden they could take. Bringing back Art Shell they could take. Hiring Kiffin to fire him, setting us back two years…all good. They could rationalize all of it. Never mind all of Al’s misdeeds back in the day…bolting Oakland in the first place, when the Raiders were one of the best teams in football with perhaps the most loyal fanbase…no problem. Running Marcus Allen out…no problem. The PSL scam? Arthur Anderson? Possibly the biggest case of a sports owner taking advantage of dumb fans in the history of American pro sports? No big deal. Al never giving season ticket holders who’ve won the lottery their Super Bowl 37 tickets? Honest mistake. Suddenly…Al drafts a black QB at the number one spot, and sticks with him even when it’s made obvious that the guy’s not good, and THAT’S where they draw the line.
April 28th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
Mr. Al Davis: Hey, it’s time to man-up. I remember when you fired Lane Kiffen, you told him that JaMarcus was a great football player and that Kiffen didn’t want to draft him. You told Kiffen in your press interview to the world, that Kiffen needed to get over it!
Hey, Dude! You need to man up and apologize to Mr. Lane Kiffen and admit to the world that you were wrong. JaMarcus is a dumb fat ass who would rather eat all day that work out and earn his over paid millions.
Hey, Al, you were wrong but you’re human and we all make mistakes. Just get rid of the fat dude before he fakes an injury and you’re stuck with his 9-million guarantee for 2010. Do it today. Thank you.

1960,
I made the analogy on Jamarcus and his throwing touch to golf.
He’s got not 3 or 4 irons, no in between game. Just Rocket drives and mammoth 9 irons (Deep balls and short passes to Zack Miller).
He has no touch or accuracy on the 25 yard pass. Even Louis Murphy slipped a little and said it’s not an easy pass to catch.
That got in his head, and then he started going Steve Sax on us and these screen passes. 5 yard passes and he goes through this whole pitching windup to unleash a rocket at his ankles.
Never has the phrase addition by subtraction carried more weight than Jamarcus Russell and the Oakland Raiders.

Russell has to come back. He can’t settle for just $3.
For him that’s just lunch money.
It seems as if when Schefter says Russell is leaving, Al decides he has to stay and when Schefter says he’s staying, Al is probably going to announce he’s gone. He’s probably warming up that overhead projector.

Al Davis since 2002 has made almost nothing but stupid moves. I think the only pics in the 1st round I agreed with him on were Huff and Gallery who turned out not so great so both wrong but McFadden, Russell ahhhhhhhh. Then the coach from the Idaho BB running the offense ahhhhhhhhhhhh. The FA moves ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…. It is obvious he needs to find a GM and head coach he can trust and let them run the team and he can give advise when needed but come on.
BTW Trading Gruden and losing Bruce Allen ticked me off so much I almost stopped watching the Raiders. Russell is minor compared to other mistakes.

You’ll expend more effort logging in over there than it’s worth to accomplish the easy task of shutting him down.

Comeback stories are American as apple pie. Unfortunatley Jamarcus must have eaten it. I actually like the fact that they are going to give him one last shot over the weekend just to be sure about what the’re about to do at the qb spot, and you would too if you had that much invested in him. But if JR does come in around 3 bills like people are saying and he looks like crap over the weekend, and when the media will finally be allowed around, then he will be gone by lunchtime on Monday, which will be just in time to make the buffet down at Sir Georges…
April 28th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
There have been so many fatal flaws with this team over the past seven years, it is still unclear what no.2 can bring to the table ( besides a dinner plate). This year might be our best look at him in camp. I hope he has realized the dire situation he is in. If the team around him has clearly improved and his work ethic hasnt he is in deep trouble. Again the question with no.2 is commitment not talent. At 25 you hope he has matured, especially given that his personal tragedies off the field absolutely seemed to shake his focus.

Pro Bowl offensive tackle Ryan Clady tore his patellar tendon Wednesday playing basketball, multiple league sources told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora, and is expected to miss an extended period of time.
Ryan Clady, OT
Denver Broncos
Years: 3
Games/Starts: 32/32
Height: 6-6
Weight: 325A source with knowledge of the situation told La Canfora that the tear was not as damaging as it could have been, and Clady’s recovery could take three-to-four months. That means he could miss all of the team’s offseason and training camp activities, which would also cloud the start of the season for Clady.
Team spokesman Patrick Smyth declined to comment when reached by The Associated Press, saying only that veterans were participating this week in the team’s offseason training program. Clady’s agent, Pat Dye Jr., didn’t immediately return a phone call.
Broncos coach Josh McDaniels told NFL Network’s Paul Burmeister on Total Access that it was a “very unfortunate situation with Ryan,” but that the team is hopeful everything will work out.
Clady was the 12th overall pick out of Boise State in the 2008 NFL draft. He allowed the fewest sacks among tackles as a rookie and last year became the 11th tackle to earn Pro Bowl honors in his second season.

Russell – the brainless fat @&& never had the intelligence or desire needed to be an NFL QB. (for any team.) He’ll never be a starter in the NFL ever again.
Though he was shrewd enough to see that Davis is going senile & can be milked for millions.
But because Russell’s all fat / no brain, he’s going to burn all the money he has, & he’ll end up playing a back-up role on some low level CFL team.

I just watched Nnamdi doing the Raiders Report on NFLN with Rod Woodson and Warren Sapp… and there was something VERY telling about the team’s attitude about JaMarcus. Near the end of the segment, Warren suggested keeping #2 on the roster through camp to see if anyone wanted to trade for him. Rod interrupted to say, “Ain’t nobody tradin for JaMarcus!” The camera panned out and you could see Nnamdi’s reaction. He was grinning like a maniac and trying his damnedest NOT to laugh. Clearly, the team (or at least Nnamdi) knows that JR is a bust and that no one wants him. To get that kind of reaction speaks volumes.

April 28th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Sapp just said what he did because he would love nothing better than to see JaBustus around for another year. There’s not a lot of things he likes more than punking the Raiders and as long as #2 is around (appropriate number for him!), it’s an easy mark. Sapp is a puss, he beats women and is a disgrace — I burned his number 99 Raider jersey and hope that the NFl Network eventually wises up. He brings NOTHING, in my opinion!

I was trying to figure out exactly what it was about Campbell that I didn’t like in his years in Washington, so I looked at some stats. Now I finally realize it… he can’t do ANYTHING in the clutch. He has ZERO 4th Quarter comebacks in his four year career. As bad as JR has been, he at least has shown that he can get things done when the pressure is on… it’s just that he doesn’t feel any personal or professional pressure for 98% of the time. He’s lazy and doesn’t care and has no motivation on the field unless he’s coming off the bench and we’re within 7.
Hopefully, Campbell can improve his late-game playing. He’s had plenty of chances for late-game heroics in D.C., but hasn’t stepped up yet. He likes to hold the ball too long and doesn’t make quick decisions. Hopefully that’s a result of putting him in the WCO when he’s more suited to Drop-Back Play-Action philosophies… HOPEFULLY. I really want him to succeed, but I wanted to trade for Troy Smith instead. If we end up averaging twice as many points per game with Campbell, but lose 10 games by one score per game… I don’t see how that’s better than JR.
I still say to cut JR, because unless he somehow finds some dedication and PRIDE, then he will continue to be a fat, useless punk. I just can’t get behind Campbell until I see what he can do on the field in this offense. I was starting to get optimistic based on Campbell’s TD/Int ratio and completion %, but now I’m back to my pre-draft stance of: “No, GOD NO… PLEASE DON’T TRADE FOR JASON CAMPBELL!” I hope that he proves me wrong. I would rather have Campbell as the starter over JR, but I’d rather have JR in the 4th quarter. Maybe Gradkowski will make it a moot argument and transform into the ‘02 Rich Gannon… but I doubt it. I just want to win again, goddamn it… so step it up, Campbell… take that hard work and dedication of yours and learn how to use it in the 1st and 4th quarters so we can get to the postseason. If we lose more close games than we win before the bye, I’ll be calling for Grads to start the last 7 games. Damn… I hate the position our beloved Raiders are in. Thanks for trading away Gruden and letting Bruce Allen (and to a lesser extent, Mike Lombardi) get away, Al. I’m now reduced to pinning my hopes of making the playoffs on Jason Campbell winning games or Bruce Gradkowski staying healthy…

steve you sure are looking for a negative with campbell. do you think any player on any team in the nfl wants to step into the huddle down 7 in the 4th quarter and see that fat lazy turd at qb?
jamarcus beat kc and denver, and that deserves props i guess, but KC is awful and DEN we’ll call his last hoorah in OAK.
i would rather go into this season with jeff george at qb than jamarcus. not even kidding
April 28th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
Campbell has improved every year in the league in spite of playing for a bad team. Now he flies out to Oakland on the day after he is traded to meet with our offensive coordinator.
Sorry Steve, Jason is my kind of guy.
April 28th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
Raider22,
Jeff George LOL!!!
April 28th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
22,
Sorry if I’m coming off negatively here. I was totally against trading for him before it went down… I even spoke out against the possible trade for him several times on this blog. After the trade was announced, I started looking for positives and I’ve been pretty much saying all good things here since it happened. I was just trying to figure out why I was against it and have gotten back into a negative frame of mind. Anything is better than an unmotivated JR, though… and I doubt that anything can motivate him. I want a race between Campbell and Gradkowski… where the best man brings his top game and wins the job, taking that level of ability all through the season.
I’m betting money that we go at least 7-9 this season. If we can pick up an improvement at C and a big run-stuffing DT, then I realistically expect 9-7 and hopefully a wildcard berth.
April 28th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
If Davis can restructure JR, he’ll hold him on the roster just so he can cut him as all NFL teams have broken training camp. Be too late then for JR in 2010 to make any impression on another team. Al looking to avoid cutting JR too soon, then having him signed by the Chiefs, say, who then manage to get him thru Training Camp competing and getting a start in 2010.
While I understand that, it’s JR we’re talking about here. Either a) he will slack off again in Kansas/wherever and will keep getting cut till he ends up out of the NFL, or b) we know his flaws as a QB so well we can scheme against him and it wont matter, he’ll actually be a liability to his new team, a benefit to us.
April 28th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
And I’ve made those same positive points for the past few days. Good completion %, improved every year, positive TD/Int ratio… and Bob sent me Brian’s pic of Hue and Jason the day after the trade… so I’m hoping for the best. I just have to let the cynicism out every now and then. I refuse to be blindly optimistic… gotta stay grounded, ya know.

Yea and the donkeys lost their mastermind a dc too don’t forget, and we slaughtered the chargers opening night sending half their team to the hospital, and the second time we played them we were a few good drives away, but jamarcus happened… and the chiefs speak for themselves. With solid qb play I totally agree we could win the west. Assuming the run d is truly improved.
April 28th, 2010 at 7:15 pm
There is gonna be amazing competition this year at the LB/DE positions. If we bring in a solid DT FA you have to believe this run D is gonna be much improved.
April 28th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Im excited about the new studs we have, I think jacoby ford is gonna be like harvin, he’s fast can catch and return. This walt mcfadden kid looks like a baller as well I think he’s gonna surprise like murphy and shaugnessy. Excited about bruce campbell too, I think he will be a beast at right guard like coach cable is assuming, because once this kid gets a hand on people its a over, and at guard lineman can’t escape him. That ware kid lays the wood, and should be solid on special teams, hopefullfy mcclains as advertised and houston can move for a 300 pounder. Tickects for the pimp hand this year.
April 28th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
Steve brings up the decent point on Campbell, and that the negative is he isn’t a winner.
Yes he has improved marginally every year, but his team hasn’t.
And the notion that he plays for a terrible team is laughable. The Redskins were in the playoffs 2 of the 5 years he was there.
His rookie year, when he didn’t play, they made the playoffs. 2007, after he got hurt, they went an amazing 4-0 under Todd Collins to end the season and squeked into the playoffs.
Jason is certainly our most talented (even over Russell, IMO) of all our QB’s and has had the most success in the NFL. But the stigma is that he doesn’t win games and that’s why he was avaiable for a 4th round pick in 2012.
Let’s hope he can change that perception of him here in Oakland. He certainly will get the chance.
April 28th, 2010 at 7:21 pm

If the DL doesn’t get the job done, Waufle will definitely be thrown on the grill and if they really fail to get results, Waufle will be cooked for sure. We can’t afford to wait for progress that’s as slow as molasses in January, we need line penetration that’s like a hot knife through butter, with DL’s getting all syrup in the QB’s face.

St.Kaufman,
There is a lot riding on Hue Jackson as well. He has a lot of exciting young skill players to work with.
There are however still a few “ifs” relating to the Offense though. If they did enough to address the O-line. If DMac can stay healthy.
However, if these young speedsters develop, this offense can go from downright putrid to explosive in a heartbeat.
April 28th, 2010 at 7:53 pm

April 28th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Steve,
You talk about Waffle and the D-line w/ pressure on the QB. I’m hearin ya. You know what I’m looking forward to? Year two of the Marshall Plan. I think last year was just the tip of the iceberg. We kinda got an early season sneak peek during the Philly game. They blitzed and really got after McNabb. A lot of raider fans were like WTF was that? Where’s that been?
I think this veteran DC has Al’s trust, and is being allowed more freedom to gameplan. By the end of the season he was mixing coverages a little more and bringing some really nice blitz packages. Most of them featuring my boy MM.
Look at the weapons they are bringin in this offseason. Wimbley, Groves and Houston. All pass rushers. They are going to ATTACK QB’s this year.
Love the McClain pick. Would still like another widebody DT for depth/run stuffing. I can’t wait for this season to start!
April 28th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Yup. I like the Tunga FB pickup (though I REALLY wanted John Conner), so now I feel that we’re a C and a big run-stuffing DT away from 9-7 with a wildcard berth.
April 28th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Steve,
Wildcard berth hell. Aim a little higher my friend, AFC West champs. When you stop and think about it, winning the mediocre West is probably an easier path to the playoffs than a wildcard. To win a wild card spot they’d be in contention with Indy/Tenn/Houston and Cincy/Balt/Pitt.
I’d rather take our chances w/SD. Rivers is a hell of a QB(albeit a mouthy,punk Biotch) so he gives them a bit of a leg up. Plus the two HUGE receivers. But, I feel they are falling back to the pack. No LT. No Jammall Williams. Merroidman on the outs with the org.
The AFC West is up for grabs. I say Raiders retake their rightful spot atop the division. Hell yeah.
April 28th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Bad 0-line, avg at best QB, below avg RBs, way below avg WRs, avg d-line, below avg LBs, good DBs, good kicking game. Add all that up and you DO NOT have a team anywhere near a division champ/playoff team.

I bet half the teams in the league switch OC’s or schemes at least once every couple of years.
At situation like Indy is rare in the NFL now.
Studying film, and reading defences is what a veteran QB learns and becomes familiar with.

NorthernD, thanks for the response Bro. I wonder how our new QB is at reading Defenses?
April 28th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Thec07,
Four years in the league, I think he’s probably seen all the defensive schemes out there.
Now he just has to get on the same page as the WR’s and they’ll be off and running.
Timing is almost always the last thing to click before the O starts to roll.
I hope he hurries up and wins the QB competition so they can get the timing down before the first game.
April 28th, 2010 at 8:49 pm
You’re right Ron. Maybe I was thinking of a couple of years ago when they caught Denver and both finished 8-8. I knew they finished on a streak last year, but I thought they started in a deeper hole. My bad.
I refuse to address you as Raider Ron any more. What is that, some sort of irony? You’re kind of a strange little dude anyway. You offer no opinions of any type. You bring nothing to the table at all. You just sort of lurk, waiting for somebody to say something, and then you make pithy little comments. Whatever turns you on, Bro.

===========================================
Good Question. Let’s take a look: Actually not very many have had to do that. And the ones that have, have not done very well. Jason Campbell in Washington is one who has gone thru the coaching carousel much like we have here. Zorn was only there for two years, following Gibbs. Another Prime Example is Alex Smith in SF. Smith has been generally considered the biggest QB bust to come along since Tim Couch, until we reach the most recent example: Jamarcus Russell. Even in New England who seemingly go thru Offensive Coordinators the way Wackysheeit goes thru daily beatdowns, they maintain a similar system, and terminology. One last thing is most successful Q’s come into the league and sit for a year or more behind a good Q to learn the Game. Our guy sat for a year behind a bunch of bums. What would you learn from that? How to be a bum most likely.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:02 pm

April 28th, 2010 at 9:07 pm
People have to realize that you are not going to get a QB in free agency/trade without some flaws.
The thing I like about Campbell is that his flaws are as much about switching playbooks, coaches and talent problems up front.
He can overcome those things.
When Gannon and Plunkett came to Oakland. They probably had MORE flaws and question marks on them collectively. But given a fresh start and the benefit of experience were able to not just survive here…but thrive.
Campbell has improved his statistics year over year. Campbell has won in this league and there is a general consensus that he’s a competent QB that has faced issues that would have challenged the most gifted QBs.
At 28, he should be hitting his stride. He spent his time with the Redskins learning..hopefully we get the benefit of all that.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
We are getting a QB that started 16 gms and managed a 64% completion percentage, threw 20 TDs….
You guys should be excited.
As for Gradkowski, he’s a backup QB. He is limited and that’s why the Raiders knew they had to make their move for Campbell…No way you go into a season with Gradkowsi as the starter…not based on 2 games.
He will get his chance to compete “again” for a starting job.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
I’m trying to figure out when people called down Favre, Brady, Manning, Romo, Big Ben or any other white QB … nobody calls them a racist.
But OMG how dare you call down JaMarcus or Campbell … you are labelled a racist.
Facts baby … JaMarcus is a bust and Campbell is just a backup QB. The only 2 years the Redskins made the playoffs in the last 5 years Campbell WAS NOT the starting QB … what does that tell you? I’m a racist?

April 28th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
SteveAlford21…: you’re so right about our weakness at the center position, which is the anchor of the offensive line. If we can trade or pickup a substantial upgrade at that position, we can add a game or two to our win column this year, especially if our defensive can come together with our new defensive pickups. Of course, if Al is going to continue too impose his schemes and defensive strategies onto Marshall, like he did with Ryan, it will translate into very very little blitzing and pressure. Hope Al stops his meddling, but that’s a big reach.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
I think Al may ending up keeping JaMarcus up until the start of the pre-season games.
The longer longer JaMarcus stays in the Raiders camp, the less likely he is to catch on with another team,
and the less likely he will be able to play this year.
As long as he’s wearing a red jersey, the chances of him getting a season ending injury are small. I don’t think Al would let him play in contact games.

==================================================
If you don’t see Russell cut in the next 72 hours, it probably means he is here for the duration. And when I mean duration, I mean the duration of Jason Campbells tenure in Oakland.
The good news with Campbell is we now have a couple of guys (Hue Jackson and Campbell) that have been in the league a few years, kind of know what is going on, and know what it is going to take out there on the field. Those are good mentors for Russell to have. If Campbell comes here and is successful, the Raiders have options. If Campbell leaves after two years or is not successful, the Raiders still have an overall number one, that will learn by watching (theoretically). Can’t say watching did not help Shaub, Aaron Rogers, Alex Smith, Rivers, among others.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:38 pm
NorthernD,
Let’s look at it logically: If an upgrade at center will prevent a blitzer from getting to the QB and disrupting the play just three times per game, that could result in three to six points more per game by us via sustaining drives and could prevent the opponent from scoring three to six points per game via keeping the ball out of their hands for longer during said game. Two wins per season may be a bit of a stretch, but I have no problem with the proposal that an upgrade at center could get us one extra win per season.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
So who here thinks Russell has a chance? Who would keep him if he restructured? I would say maybe to both because I just want to win again, this is if we can’t extend Campbell’s contract of if he isn’t successful of course.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
If JR was willing to restructure, I would keep him on the roster and allow him to compete for the job. If he performed as he has to date, I would keep him as our THIRD-string QB throughout the season to give him ONE LAST CHANCE to wake up and start doing what he must do to succeed in the NFL. If he doesn’t use that bench time WISELY, then I would send him packing in a 7th round pick deal next year before the draft… and by that, I mean that if he continued to act this way, we’d probably have to give them JaMarcus AND a 7th rounder just to get them to take him.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
Center is probably the second most important position on the line.
I agree with you, that making the proper blocking is very important, no question.
Two wins seems like a bit of a stretch. Not much, just a bit.
Even having Gallery back last year stabilized the line’s play.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
Lol at JR and a 7th Round pick just to get rid of him. I think the main reason Russell is the #1 bust of all time (if he gets cut) is because he doesn’t try. He could be great, but never tried and doesn’t have the desire to win. I don’t see how he could live with him self like many said before.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
I’d say good-bye to JR. Keep him around for the OTA’s and the start of camp just to keep the other QB’s focused on winning the job.
JaMarcus needs to completely re-think his choices in life. If he is ever going to get his act together, it will be because he is out of options. Sometimes people have to bottom out before they decide to make legit changes in their life.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Im not sure a team would take russel even if they were getting him and a 7th rounder. If i were a gm or owner id certainly be hesitant to take on his contract. Perhaps theyd make the trade and cut him. then theyd get a 7th rounder for free.
April 28th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
SteveAlford21,
Third string QB’s don’t make 6.5 million a year.
And no team would give any draft pick to get him because they would inherit his contract.

There was a segement on the NFL network where Warren Sapp was saying that Russell’s demise has a much to do with the way the Raiders handled him as with Russell himself, and that is probably true. If you go back to the Houston Texan and TB Buc games in 08 and the Charger, Chief and Bunco games from last year, Russell can certainly play. Those comeback wins were pretty impressive. Especially five in roughly 25 starts. He needs to sit for awhile,get his head on right and watch the game. And if someone else emerges and plays very well, then you can get rid of him.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
NorthernD,
That was a continuation of my previous statement which included him restructuring his deal. Then we trade him next year (on the lowered contract). He wouldn’t be a backup that made over 6mil in the scenario of which I spoke.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Sorry, fellows, but Jamarcus makes 3 + 6 = $9 million if he is on the roster.
$3 million guaranteed plus $6 million more if he is on the roster.
Al Davis has $6 million reasons to get rid of Jamarcus.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Kirk,
Al will TRY to get JR to restructure. If JR refuses, then there is a 50/50 chance that Al will still say that it’s too much of a risk to cut him… to just give him one last shot to wake up and fulfill his potential. I have to admit that even I’M a bit tempted to put him on the pine and give him one chance to TRY to win the job in a legitimate competition. In an uncapped year, this is the ONLY time that it would be worth taking the chance… as long as you have the funds to back it up. As much as I want that lazy fatass piece of sh-it to be gone, I want to have him at his best and TRYING even more. Damn him… damn him all to hell.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Russell may be the worst quarterback in NFL history.
He started 25 games and threw 23 interceptions and fumbled 25 times.

April 28th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
And he was asleep the whole time and didn’t care at all. I already know that NOTHING will make him care about football or ever TRY to be great at it… so disregard my previous post. Even if he renegotiated to the league minimum, he would be a wasted roster spot because he doesn’t want to be an elite NFL QB… he just wants to be treated like one.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
JaMarcus Russell = Randy Moss at his least-caring as a QB.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
What about how he played in 08?! He had 13 TDs, 8 INTs, and he completed 53% of he passes in his 1st season as a starter. His QB rating that season was 77.1
April 28th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
Why should Jamarcus care about football? He got $39 million guaranteed just for showing up. He never has to work another day in his life. Why be an NFL quarterback and risk torn up knees and broken limbs, when you have all that money? I wouldn’t. I would be on a beach in the Carribean with a beautiful women.

===================================
Even if he restructured to 3 million it’s still a bad situation.
As a starter he didn’t put in the effort to improve. Do you think he will make the effort as a third stringer? More likely he will regress even further if he knows he will not play.
Other teams won’t be willing to make a deal for him, they know he is not worth the risk at this point. If another team does take a look at him in the future, they will write his contract with a ton of clauses and stipulations.

April 28th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
JaMarcus never had to TRY to be good. He was always head and shoulders above the competition until he got to LSU. In college, the offense didn’t NEED him to win games. He wasn’t the focal point, wasn’t even really all that necessary. Charlie Frye could have won the NCAA title for LSU that year playing on crutches. That didn’t change the fact that JR thought all that made HIM awesome. So his ego grew. Now he’s at the NFL level and doesn’t think he has to try. He learns quickly that he can’t hack it, but that’s no problem… everyone says that it’s the OL’s fault, it’s the WRs’ faults, it’s the owner, coaches, and system’s faults. So he says, “I can’t win here, I’ve already got all this money, I’m not gonna kill myself for THIS… even if I DO try, we’ll still lose.”
Then he gets benched and we WIN with Gradkowski. Charlie Frye throws for 300 yards. So when JR gets his chance to come in, what does he do? He is really good off the bench. I won’t say he was GREAT, but he was really good… much better than before the benching (except game 1 of 2009). So I expected that he would work all offseason. I thought the shame of being benched and seeing others do well would motivate him to get the starting job back. I thought that he would get with the receivers all offseason and work on timing and routes. I thought that he would study film, study plays, learn about reading defenses and going through his progressions and stay in shape.
I thought wrong…
Apparently, he DIDN’T get hungry… except for food. He didn’t want to become great or spend the offseason studying and learning and working. He doesn’t care. Cut him.

State vs trait
JaMarcus’s biggets flaw is his laziness, which is something that is very hard to overcome. It would be easier to fix the mechanics of Tebow than to make JaMarcus a film room junkie.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
NorthernD,
RE: Post #295.
Hence me saying to cut him. You can’t force desire on someone unless you take away their basic needs: food, clothing, and shelter (Maslow’s hierarchy of needs for all you Psychology enthusiasts). I thought that failure combined with seeing others succeed had finally jumpstarted a desire in him. I was wrong. If he hasn’t found that desire yet, he never will… and it can’t be taught to someone who has no needs.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
When he files for bankruptcy three years from now, he will come to every NFL team (and probably some UFL and CFL ones) and BEG for a chance to prove that he can be the best. He will proclaim that he loves the game and doesn’t want his legacy to be remembered as it is. He will say that he has a fierce desire to win… and he might actually do it… but that will ONLY happen after he loses all the money that he’s gotten… when he has nothing left in the bank. And all his claims about desire and image and legacy and winning will all be lies, even if he convinces HIMSELF that it’s all true. He will only have that desire and drive when he is up against the wall and realizes that he can’t make any money doing anything else and will have to WORK to make some more… and he’ll realize that with his physical gifts, the grueling work in the NFL will be easier for him than any other kind of job, especially comparing it to the compensation. Even the league minimum would be a MASSIVE amount of pay per work ratio compared to life outside of sports… so he’ll say the right things and TRY to get another chance. Mark my words, it WILL happen.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
But I do see Al keeping him around for the OTA’s and some of camp.
Why?
Because it will keep JaMarcus from catching on with another team and being productive.
I could be wrong though, when has Al ever been vindictive?
April 28th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Steve,
Well said, and I agree with most of what you posted. JR is 24, he has talent, but he lacks a good work ethic, and he needs to grow up. I’m willing to give him one more season behind J Campbell to show/ prove that he can improve. If not, then we cut him.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
Honestly I dont see how bad it can really hurt the team if he was kept as the third stringer. He wont be playing of course. The only way it would set us back is it would keep a guy like frye off the roster. You cant expect to win any game if your down to your 3rd string qb anyways. Its Als money let him waste it on Jafatass my wallets not getting any thinner on keeping the guy.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
re 297,
I don’t know if he will come crawling after the money is gone. He grew up without money, and clearly the most important thing is his family. I think he’d be happy just going back to his mom’s couch.
Happy to be a former high school star and reading his press clippings.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
However, after three years on the couch, he won’t be able to get back into anything close to playing shape, even in terms of just throwing the longball without an oncoming rush. He’ll be forced to take the Balco route to even get onto a roster in the UFL, then he’ll get caught, get banned, and be a celebrity rehab/where are they now reality tv “star” that is even further mocked than he is at present. Hopefully someone will tell him all this within the next few days and he’ll be able to FEEL it beforehand… and find the drive to do what he must do in order to succeed. He won’t do it, though… he’ll laugh and call someone crazy, then have his posse mock the dude and give JR props while he passes out some 24k gold “Elexis Crew” medallions to them.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:58 pm
Steve
Your probably right about the bankruptcy thing. Looking at the way he dresses he cant be too smart. The guys probably wasting money left and right. Id love to see his house just random expensive crap everywhere. Statues of himself 30 ft. tall made out of chocolate being replaced every month cuz he ate them and what not. A pool filled with twinkie cream that he has to be refilled daily. On a more serious not charles rogers is in the same predicament that russel could be in a few years from now, broke and looking for a job. Was a talent back in the day but time away diminished his skills. Once upon a time that guy could run a sub 4.3 40 i hear now hes in the 4.6 range.
April 28th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
I misspelled a lot in that one.
April 28th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
I wish i had enough money to buy a gold diamond encrusted necklace in my own likeness. Only problem with Russels is that its of him holding a football not fumbling it, should have been more realistic imo.
April 28th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
What does the team gain by keeping him as a third stringer?
If all goes well, Campbell would be effective as the starter and become entrenched in that role.
Grads would see some playing time (maybe), then either repeat that role or go try to be a starter somewhere else.
JaMarcus would not see any playing time, and make a sh!it load more cash.
No team would get a chance to see him play, and see if he has improved or not. If the other teams around the league don’t know if he has improved, they won’t want to trade for him.
The Eagles kept Vick available to trade because the biggest concern was the public’s reaction to him, not whether he could still play.
If Al wants to try a reclaimation project, why not Boller, who was also a first round pick?

==================================
I smell a sit-com.
Starring Mike Tyson, JaMarcus Russell and “Octo-mom.”
April 28th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
I heard a rumor that a Raiders coach gave JaMarcus a DVD and told him that it was gamefilm with defensive tendencies highlighted for him and other things on it to help him play… and he asked JR to study it at home. The story goes that later on, the coach asked JaMarcus for his thoughts on the DVD and that he told the coach that it was great stuff and that he learned a lot. The tricky bit is that the coach gave him a blank DVD and wanted to see what Russell would say.
I don’t know if this story is true, but it was passed on by allegedly reputable “team sources.” Sadly, I don’t have a hard time believing it.
April 28th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
Northern and who wants to trade for him now? only way a team trades for him is if his play improves. If that were to happen why would we want to trade him? Honestly though who gives a crap who the third string is. Your doomed as a football team if they actually do have to see playing time anyways. Obviously the guy needs to restructure. If he doesnt then yeah he should be cut. Rework the contracts with incentives so that he can still make just as much money if he meets certain guidelines. Such as showing up at a reasonable weight going to all the meetings etc. Last time the guy weighed a reasonable weight was at his proday with about 60 mil on the line.

Thatd be hilarious if it were true. How can someone be so lazy they wouldnt bother to watch a dvd.
April 28th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
Doesnt really sound true though. If your an nfl coach all you got to do is ask the guy a few in depth questions about the dvd and its obvious wether or not you watched it. Its like in school you get assigned to read a book or some chapters in it then take a test. If you didnt read it its kind of hard to bullsh*t.
April 28th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
One man’s hilarious is another man’s Greek fukkin tragedy. That story depresses the hell out of me, mostly because I believe that it’s true… *sigh*
April 28th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
PassTheCheetos,
The Seahawks took a chance on third stringer Charlie Whitehurst from SD. The difference is that there were no red flags with Whitehurst and he looked productive in pre-season. Plus he was also stuck behind a pro-bowler and a quality back-up in Volek.
And he was cheap.
April 28th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
RE: Post #312.
That’s the thing, though… no need to ask in depth questions if it was a test to see if he’d watch it. If he says, “I put it in and nothing played” then you know he cared and was doing what he was asked to do in his off-time. If he said, “Yeah, it was great stuff,” then you know he doesn’t give a sh-it.
April 28th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
The story was that the DVD incident was done by a coach so they could prove that JR didn’t care… so that Al would agree to bench him after hearing the story. The messed up part is that I can’t even fault the coach for setting him up… because if JR deserved to be the starter, then he wouldn’t fail a test like that… he would study a DVD that his coach gave him and try to get better.
April 28th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Well he did get treated for lethargy addiction. I wonder if there is a lethargy anonymous group. I can just imagine other members being hey you the fat f*ck who got rich doing nothing. All the other people would be broke losers and envious of him for making a ton of money and doing less than the bare minimum.

But whitehurst hadnt got the chance to tarnish his reputation like russell did. In fact whitehurst had a clean slate whereas russell has done just about everything to drive down his worth. The reality is if he doesnt turn his career around here he wont ever turn his career around because no ones going to give him as big of a chance as we’d be willing too.

Good morning Raider Nation.
Got to play hooky, and stay home from work today. Afterall was up way past my bedtime last night, living in my fantasy world.
My point to Steve Alford was winning the West might actually be the path of least resistance to the playoffs. He had said maybe 9-7 and a wildcard berth could be obtainable. My theory was that wildcard spots are at a premium w/ Indy,Hous,Tenn,Cin,Pitt,Balt,NYJ and others in contention.
Of course, San Diego enters this season as the favorite. I said they had a leg up with an excellent, established QB, albeit a jerk, in Rivers. He has two freakish, huge targets at WR. I think this is the year they could start to slip back to the pack. No LT,Cromartie,J Williams, and possibly Merroidman.
I had the audacity to suggest, Why not Oakland step up and challenge SD. My delusional, rampant, runaway optimism offended Ron. Sorry.

Bo,
Have you seen the HBO Sports documentary “The Rivalry”?
Excellent. Almost as good as “Rebels of Oakland”. Unlike Fox News, it is actually a “Fair and Balanced” look at the OSU vs. Meeechigan rivalry.
HBO sucks azz generally. I always tell my wife we’re going to cancel it. But every once in awhile, they do some really cool stuff.
April 29th, 2010 at 6:31 am
LOL @ “Meeechigan”!
No, I haven’t seen the show, but I’ve lived it for 40 years…
And “gold pants”?!?! You KNOW they’re maize!
April 29th, 2010 at 6:39 am
Bo,
The gold pants are an award Buckeye football players earn for a victory over the Wolverines. It’s a little gold necklace. It started many years ago. It started with “They put their pants on one leg at a time” type pregame speech.
In that documentary the Real Bo S. says “Hell, I’ve got a couple pairs of them Gold Pants myself, But I don’t mention that much up here.” LOL.

Mornin’ LMN,
Didn’t watch Rome, but one of reasons we’ve kept subscribing to HBO is their series. Loved The Sopranos and Deadwood. The lil misses and I watched the Vampire series TrueBlood together. It was a lil different, but cool.

Campbell has won in this league
*********************************
Uhh.. actually, no he hasn’t, and that’s a few of our concerns. By my calculations, Campbell hasn’t won more than 5 games in a year.
Here’s why Jason Campbell was available.
2007. Oakland was 2-14 and pitiful. Redskins won the last 4 games of the season with Campbell on the bench and finish 9-7, have a dominating defense and run game and are a playoff team.
Next two years, Campbell starts all 32 games with said 2007 playoff team, and goes 9-23
Oakland’s next two years, with said 2007 pitiful team, starts Jamarcus, Walter, Frye and Bruce all get starts, and we go 10-22.

April 29th, 2010 at 7:08 am
Another reason Campbell was available.
Last year 0-6 in the division, with 5 TD’s and 8 int’s in the those games.
To give perspective to what his career 82 passer rating equates to, it is a couple points higher than Bruce’s game in Dallas. We can all agree that that was not good QB play.
I am stoked we got a former 1st rounder for peanuts, I think he is the most talented QB on the roster (even over Jamarcus) and I think a fresh start could be what Jason Campbell needs.
But make no mistake, Campbell NEEDS something. He was a failure in Washington, and the Redskins over the 5 years he was there, were WAY more talented than what we have here.
I put him on par with the Kerry Collins pickup. Collins had better stats, more experience and some actual success winning in the NFL before he got here. Jason is younger and probably a tad more talented.
Let’s hope he is better than Kerry, but while some of you have already made that decision that he is better, I am resigned to crossing my fingers.
Good day.

April 29th, 2010 at 7:49 am
Cartwright is a role player at best.
His signing, though, points to our overlooked weakness at RB. We don’t have a legit Number One back, which the Raiders desperately need as the passing game tries to come back to life.
McFadden doesn’t have it. He never makes the first tackler miss and can’t keep his feet when he does have room. He’s a big Reggie Bush, at best.
Bush looks great one week, terrible the next. He looked passive against Baltimore, like he was afraid to get hit. He’s big but runs on his tippy toes.
I’m mystified by how Big Al could not draft a RB, especially when Anthony Dixon was available until the 6th round. He would have been perfect.
I’d love to have Louis Rankin back, but Seattle has him.
Bottom line: We need a real Number One back for this team to go .500.

April 29th, 2010 at 8:17 am
Good morning,Nation The Only Nation.
This article proves that the NFL is a joke and wants players like JaMarcus.
Trade him to the Tampa Bay Bucs and be done with it.
On Saturday, the Tennessee Titans drafted Florida State safety Myron Rolle in the sixth round of the NFL Draft with the 207th overall pick.
Rolle, whom you previously knew as the Rhodes Scholar who spent his past season in Oxford studying for a graduate degree in medical anthropology, graduated in 2 1/2 years from Florida State, where he played safety for three years. Then he chose to skip his senior year to take advantage of the Rhodes Scholarship, an honor that only 32 men and women garner every year.
You’ve probably heard of a few of the alums from the Rhodes, guys like President Bill Clinton and former NBA great Bill Bradley.
What you may have heard and brushed off was this: Multiple NFL teams, scouts and executives questioned Rolle’s commitment to football because he made this decision.
Why?
Because the thinking goes — and we’re defining “thinking” broadly here since many of the scouts, coaches and executives making these comments would be pumping gas for a living without football — that Rolle is too smart, that his priorities in life don’t revolve entirely around a pigskin bouncing on a field.
Welcome to the 21st century NFL, where your commitment to the game doesn’t get questioned if you fail multiple drug tests, drive drunk or rape a woman. But woe unto you if you have the audacity to graduate early from college and take a year off to pursue a Rhodes Scholarship. Then you’re a smart guy, the NFL’s own version of the untouchable caste in India. That’s why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, including head coach Raheem Morris, could ask Rolle at the Senior Bowl how it felt to desert his teammates for his senior season.
——————————————————————————–
More: Rolle’s Long Journey to NFL | Titans Select Rolle in Sixth Round
——————————————————————————–
Rolle’s “desertion”?
Accepting the Rhodes Scholarship in Oxford.
If only we could all be so lucky to be deserted by our teammates for this.
Would the Tampa Bay Bucs “brain trust” have asked a player who left college early to play pro football how he felt about deserting his teammates?
Doubtful.
Share Would the Bucs have asked a player who was caught smoking pot how he felt about letting his teammates down?
Doubtful.
Nope, because Rolle wears the NFL’s own scarlet letter, intelligence. And that’s just something the NFL can’t stand. The league wants their players focused on football or nothing else, barefoot and padded.
Rolle came on our Nashville radio show Monday and in between answering questions about American health care policy, the medical clinic he plans to build in the Bahamas, his love for football, and hanging with President Bill Clinton, he addressed the question of how having his commitment to football questioned made him feel. (Listen to that entire interview here.)
Here’s an excerpt:
“I was very surprised. I had anticipated I would get some questions. … but I didn’t expect it to be as big, or as huge of an issue in the whole scheme of the draft process. …The only thing I can say or try to convey is that I have a lot of options, I do, and I’m very proud I won the Rhodes Scholarship. Medical school will be in my future 15 years from now, Lord willing … and being a politician is not out out of the question either. But if I have all these options and I still choose to play football, that must mean that I really love it. … I really do want it, and I have to show it.”
That answer isn’t good enough for the NFL.
What’s more, in an even larger indictment of our society, that answer isn’t good enough for football fans, either.
Because think about this for a minute: I haven’t read one iota of criticism of NFL teams, scouts, or analysts who questioned Myron Rolle’s commitment to the NFL for embracing something larger than football and seeking opportunities outside the game.
We should all be insulted, anyone who has ever played, coached, or watched a football game, that the highest level of the sport devalues intelligence to such a degree that coded language like “commitment” knocks you down several rounds.
Because let’s be clear, what NFL people are really saying when they question Rolle’s commitment is, he’s too intelligent for the game. And personally, I can’t tell you how pissed off that makes me. Not that a scout or coach or general manager would say this, but that it would go unchallenged in our society today. That NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who is so intent on protecting the shield, yet won’t come out and rip coaches and executives who make these comments about Rolle. Have we really reached a level of NFL football where you get knocked further down the draft board for being a Rhodes Scholar than you do for being arrested?
I think so.
And if we have, doesn’t that mean that we’ve broken the fundamental rule of sports, the rule that I was taught, that you were hopefully taught, and that one day I’ll teach my own sons? That rule is simple: Use the ball, don’t let the ball use you.
How did kids react when they watched the draft, saw Myron Rolle celebrating, and immediately heard draft analysts discussing his fall down the draft boards because teams questioned his commitment? I’ll tell you, kids aren’t dumb, they know what that means. That when their coaches preach academics and exploring outside interests, that’s really just a shell game. The reality is something different: we want you to care about nothing else at all.
The result?
All too often in American sports today the ball uses the athlete. We see it in the one-and-done rule of the NBA that threatens the very fiber of college basketball. We see it in the number of football players who leave college after four years and test sub-literate on the Wonderlic. How is it possible that someone could stay eligible on a college campus for four years and not have a test score high enough to be employed as a janitor?
And they have a college diploma!
We see it in the NFL, where league owners want dumb players so they can make more money than any other professional sports league while failing to guarantee employment to their players for more than one year at a time. Dumb players equal a dumb union. And a dumb union equals more money.
The NFL doesn’t want thinkers, it wants big, dumb idiots who think nothing of the future. It wants to ensure the ball uses them, it’s more profitable that way.
Reading, writing and ‘rithmetic?
That’s for nerds! (Yeah, like the nerds who own the teams.)
Yet, we wonder why so many of these athletes given the opportunity to take advantage of the options presented by their skill with a ball never amount to anything once that ball is taken away from them. We act surprised when athletes flounder post-career .
It’s because of this, the same mindset that can question how an athlete can have the audacity to graduate in five semesters of college and pursue a Rhodes Scholarship, yet not question an athlete leaving school early without the ability to read his own professional contract.
Nope, we don’t red flag the lack of intelligence.
That means the player is “committed” to his sport. He’s committed because he’s too damn fool stupid to do anything else.
And then we question the players, like Myron Rolle, who truly use the ball to make something better of themselves.
Even for the most successful sporting careers in the world, 99.9999999 percent of them are over by the time an athlete reaches his early 30’s. After all, as my radio show co-host Blaine Bishop constantly says on-air, “You know what the NFL stands for, right? Not For Long.”
Then what?
Myron Rolle might be a doctor or a congressman.
Most of the athletes we root for on the field won’t be anything else at all.
Just as the NFL prefers.

nice write-ups on the UDFA’s; I am real excited about Andre Anderson and Alex Daniels.
Anderson reminds me a little of Edgerrin James; downhill runner, who gets low when he senses the pressure. He will probably be our new Louis Rankin/Echemandu, major pre-season work-horse that we will all be clamoring for during the season, when McFadden and Bush start having problems.

0-6 vs the division with 5 TDs and 8 ints.
How many times was he sacked?
How many RB did they go through last year?
I don’t think anyone in here has hailed him as the second coming of Peyton Manning.
However, he is MUCH BETTER than any QB on our roster. That alone is worth pulling for the guy.

April 29th, 2010 at 9:50 am
Re: Vegas comparison stats in regard to JR vs Jason Campell. Stats can usually be manipulated to prove a point. In this case, they were isolated to show a streak of poor play by JC. More forthright and simple to compare by competition – i.e. the fact that Redskins (as a team, not just JC) lost all 6 games in their Division – against two teams that went .750 and made the playoffs and one team that went .500. The Raiders played against one .750 team, one .500 team and one .250 team……hence their better performance as a team within their Division.
Let’s keep it simpler. How are the two QB’s doing most recently? JR ranked 32nd in the league with a 50 passer rating among “qualifying” QB’s (NFL.com uses at least 14 passes thrown per game utilized for stats to “qualify”) JC ranked 15th with a passer rating of 86.

QB comparisons.
In the Raiders fer’instance it was Cable calling plays.
In the ’skins fer’instance it was the laughable Zorn giving way to a man who’d been running a soup kitchen or somesuch.
QB stats ain’t a-gonna amount to much in either case.

April 29th, 2010 at 10:04 am
I am not on a mission to bring down Campbell. Again I am stoked we got him!!!
I’m just not going out there and saying we FOUND a QB. We did not find a QB any more than when we picked up Aaron Brooks and Kerry Collins (both made Pro-Bowls and had playoff appearances prior to coming here; Jason has had neither)
And I do agree stats can be very mis-leading, especially for a QB. Case in point, in 1997 Jeff George broke almost every single season Raider passing record, while piling up bogus stats at the end of blowout games onward to a 4-12 season.
JC should start week 1, I will support him 110%, and I think he can turn it around here.
Just some don’t think he needs to turn anything around, and I disagree.

Jason Campbell isn’t the end all be all QB that every football fan wants for his team. However, he is a serviceable NFL qb, which can’t be said for Garbagekowski or Russell. Therefore there is cause for excitement over the Campbell signing.
A qb that demands at least a modicum of respect from the opposition’s defense coupled with a coordinator that has a clue, unlike the Wife Beating Buffoon, should give us, as fans, much more confidence in the Raiders’ offense in 2010.
April 29th, 2010 at 10:16 am
Where can one find info on Offensive Lineman performance…..as in sacks allowed, got “blown up”, pressures allowed, false starts, etc.?
I’ll be straight up. Reason I am asking is I cannot find anything on NFL.com or Raiders’ website. And the reason I am interested is ….. Samson Satele. He has been very durable and anchored the middle on Miami’s O-Line that went like 10th/11th in NFL in both passing and rushing his last season there.
I went to every game last year and….yes there were a couple times – when he got beat up. But he seemed to lose his defender mostly to the right side when he had Walker or Gallery to his left. Seemed to say more about the right side of our O-Line than about Satele himself. Really seemed to me that most of the pressures and sacks came from the outside….and a lot of them had to do with JR’s moving away from the line of scrimmage waaay to slowly, dropping waaaay too deep, not stepping up into the pocket (cause he was to fat to reverse direction quickly) and having defenders ultimately get around either tackle.
Didn’t seem to me that Satele was the “culprit”, generally speaking. Perhaps Raiders’ coaches see more in him that folks on this blog give him credit for? Is that why the Center position hasn’t been addressed? Is it, perhaps, a situation where it is the felt that positions of greater need had to be addressed, following which talent considered significantly better that our current centers was not available????
April 29th, 2010 at 10:18 am
I am a fan of Satele.
He is the Jason Campbell of C’s. Not great, not bad, servicable and tries hard.
April 29th, 2010 at 10:19 am

April 29th, 2010 at 10:23 am
I don’t disagree with you Dakota on #375.
There is legitimate reason for optimism, because Bruce showed last year that with average QB play, all of a sudden this team really isn’t that bad.
And Campbell should give us average QB play, and thus we shouldn’t be that bad of a team.
But I’m calling it right here, after week 8 when we are 4-4, Campbell has his 82 passer rating and 9 TD and 7 int’s, people will be calling for his head. Priest and Debo will say we should have kept Russell, and 4eva and I will be calling for Bruce to get a start.
I will almost guarantee it.

Dakota,
the saddest part of the DMc saga is that the only reason he has not led the NFL in fumbles each of his years in the league is because he has missed many games with injury.
*******************************************************
DMc productivity
non-production – (lack of carries/injuries) +++
production – (carries/yards/TDs) ++
anti-production- (fumbles/self-tackles) +++++
April 29th, 2010 at 10:31 am
Who do you guys/gals think we would have done/do better with:
Rapelessburger or Campbell?
April 29th, 2010 at 10:32 am
If we don’t go 4-4 through this first 8 games this year, we may never will.
Look at the first 8 QB’s we may play.
VY, Sam Bradford, Leinart/Anderson , Schaubb (good), Rivers (really good), Alex Smith, Orton/Tebow, and Hassleback/Whitehurst.
I mean, that is pretty eye-opening.
We HAVE to get off to a good start this year.
April 29th, 2010 at 10:33 am
As to McFadden:
I cannot deny his troubles with fumbles.
However, he has been injured the past two years. Injuries happen. It was nothing more than bad luck that in the first game the he was used he was blowing up the competition, and then suffered turf toe, an injury that lingers forever.
It was also unfortunate for McFadden that just prior to the 2008 season we lost our bright, young blocking FB, Oneal, who’s loss was a blow to our entire running game.
It was also unfortunate for McFadden that Tom Cable was promoted to head coach and had a love affair with Fargas and had no clue, or no desire to use McFadden, or Bush for that matter.
It was also unfortunate for McFadden that Tom Cable convinced Al to go with garbage o-linemen the past two seasons.
It was also unfortunate for McFadden that Jamarcus Russell and every other QB on the Raiders was a joke, and so the opposition’s defense could stack the LOS and not even worry about the passing attack.
So is there any reason for hope for McFadden? Hell yes!
First, Tom the joke Cable has been replaced by Hue Jackson as play caller. He will better understand how to utilize McFadden.
Second, Jason Campbell is a qualified NFL QB that defenders will have to account for, which should afford McFadden more reasonable 7 man fronts, and who has the ability to throw a screen pass with accuracy allowing McFadden to do damage in the passing game.
Third, Cable’s butt buddy Fargas is out of the picture. No more opening series drives game planned for Fargas.
Fourth, we have signed several FBs and my hope is that at least one of them can step up and finally replace the lost Oneal, or that Oneal is finally back to full strength and can pick up where he left off.
My hope for McFadden in 2010 is based on logic. Soon you will see me proven right once again…
….unless Al fuks it all up by allowing Cable to call plays, keeping Russell at QB, re-signing Fargas, and cutting all the FBs except for Lawson!
If McFadden can’t stay healthy this season and his injury troubles continue then I will be the first one to admit that McFadden is a failure. But that just isn’t going to happen.
April 29th, 2010 at 10:34 am
Hey Nation,
Just stopped back in for a sec. I’m with Dakota on this one. I’m not sure we know what we have in DMac yet. This is a big year for him. He needs to step up and show he can stay healthy and produce. Before his career goes the way of Ki-Jana Carter. Remember, in only his second game as a pro he was in route to rushing for about 160 yds in one half of football. He suffered turf toe on both feet and hasn’t looked the same since. last year it was the knee in what, week 5 or 6.
The SEC is generally regarded as football’s Triple A league, with speed most closely aproximating the NFL, right?
well, I read somewhere that two long time SEC observers and former coaches. Pat Dye Sr. of Auburn and Vince Dooley of Georgia said prior to his draft, that McFadden is special. A once in a generatio type back. The best they had seen come through the SEC since Bo and Hershcel.
Hopefully this is his breakout year. He needs to stay healthy and prove it at the next level.
That’s why I changed my original draft pick option from McClain to RG M. Iupati. I wanted a road grader to open holes for both DMac and Bush.
This is a make or break year for a lot of young Raiders.
p.s. I know I’ve said all this before. I feel like I’m regurgitating the same ol crap. However if KK can post the same stat 10 times per night, I guess I can repeat myself from time to time. LOL.

April 29th, 2010 at 10:40 am
So who will be our new RT? Barnes to start I would gather.
I know we all hate Cornell for his penalties and pass-protection, but he is universally regarded as an above-average Run Blocker. Really it is the only reason he is in the league still, and probably the main reason he got a pay increase this year.
It may take a few games, and maybe someone else besides Barnes, to improve the RT position from the point of view of Run Blocking, from Cornell.
Scary thought I know.

====================================
Oh geez…Grad AND Campbell are in the same boat as far as serviceable. Grad has “over performed” in some eyes, and Campbell has always under performed, as in basically having much of the same on field knocks that JR has.
I seriously doubt any team quivers in fear, or even in mock anticipation at the prospect of facing Campbell.
April 29th, 2010 at 10:45 am
I can see Darren making enough plays in the passing game to warrant staying on the field. On days where our offense and O-line are kicking tail, he will have a few decent games, but he will never be a consistant 20 carry guy in the NLF, IMO. I like Jerry’s Ronnie Harmon comparision.
Fumbles you can improve on, injuries you can’t. With each new injury, it just makes you that much more prone to be injured again.
I worry about that more so than the fumbles.
April 29th, 2010 at 10:48 am
4-4 after the first 8 games would be great.
I don’t see the Raiders winning more than 7 games this season and would be happy with going 8-8.
Cardinals, Rams, and Seattle will most likely be the only wins in the first 8, so going 4-4 would be good.

Campbell is unquestionable better than JR. He was top 16 in the league in qb rating. If he does what he did last year with the skns this season our win total increases four wins
April 29th, 2010 at 10:57 am
I always hoped he would turn out.He is a Raider so we should hope for the best.You call DHB a bust after 1 season at a position where it normally takes a few years to come around,yet constantly defend McFadden even though he plays a position that plays well right away.
April 29th, 2010 at 10:59 am
The one thing Campbell is really going to show the biggest improvement over Russell, besides football IQ, is completion %.
I’ll give that to Campbell, he completes a lot of passes. Here’s the link to his game log last year, even some games where they would score 6 points on offense, he would still be 24 of 37.

April 29th, 2010 at 11:00 am
Good morning all, I think that it is very good that Campbell and the Redskins played our division last year. He also had to game plan against all of us. I wonder how different of a perspective he has of our division as an outsider coming in. Also, I would hope his perspective of how they game planed our deffensive schemes as well as our offensive schemes will be utilitzed to our advantage. It would be interesting to hear his assessment of what he faced and how they tried to attack each team in our division. Anyway again good morning all. Go Raiders.
April 29th, 2010 at 11:04 am
Great points Ghost.
Interestingly, 3 of his top 5 QB rating performances were against the West (against us and Denver, last game of they year against SD)
However, one of his worst games of the year came at home against KC, he threw for 80 yards and a pick, and put up 6 points.
Will need to improve on that.

I saw someone mention Dublin Blvd. I used to manage the Carl’s Jr. on Dublin Blvd. in Dublin some 25 years ago. Wierd, I haven’t been back to the Bay Area in 20 years.
On a Raider note,
I am actually stunned that the Raiders would even risk having to pay J.Russell by allowing him to attend minicamp. I think their greed in hoping that he will show enough to garner possible trade offers is blinding their vision to the reality that Russell is LAZY and would LOVE to figure out a way for his to KEEP getting paid without having to do anything.
April 29th, 2010 at 11:05 am
The play I see “in my dreams”.
Bruce Campbell makes the team and is playing RG.
On the snap, RG pulls, fake to FB who crashes into A-Gap and takes out MLB. Handoff is to RB who follows 314 lbs of 5.8 speed around LT. WR has taken CB with him. That 314 lbs at 5.8 speed sends OLB to locker room. RB has only a safety to beat…..how it is done depends on whether it is Bush or DMAC.
I LOVE the power sweep! That’ll be me in 214 going berserk!!!! ….while those who didn’t go to the game are home watching SF get their fannies handed to them by St Louis…..cuz the Raiders game was blacked out……..

Just touched…not tackled..not piled on…TOUCHED.
Can’t break a tackle.

While I am sure there are NO defenses that are concerned about facing Jason Campbell next year (there are only a handful of QB’s that defenders fear in this league anyway), at least those defenses are no longer excited about the opportunity to face JaMarcus “Shoelace” Russell.

I’ll give that to Campbell, he completes a lot of passes. Here’s the link to his game log last year, even some games where they would score 6 points on offense, he would still be 24 of 37.
http://www.nfl.com/players/jasoncampbell/gamelogs?id=CAM375235
========================================
The thing about Campbell is he has a better, more veteran receiving corp around him in Washington than here. Randal El, Santana Moss, 2 time Pro Bowler Cooley, lst rounder Devin Thomas, Fred Davis, he had some vets who know how to play. He also had a much more veteran offensive line than here. Where things went bad for Campbell was when Clinton Portis and Chris Cooley went down.

An interesting bit of symbolism.
Jason Campbell and Bruce Gradkowski both got their first NFL starts against each other.
Bruce’s Bucs beat Campbell’s Skins that day.
Interestingly, here we are 3 years later, completely full-circle.

Interesting!

-2010 Raider season record… 9 – 7 (wildcard?)
-Mcfadden finally figures it out and the coaches finally figure out how to use him properly. 9 td’s
-Bush goes for 1500 yards as primary and 11 td’s
-Jason Campbell becomes one of the top ten qb’s in the nfl.
-Bruce campbell starts at Lt and allows no sacks.
-Veldheer settles in at rt and langston walker moves over to rg. O – line becomes a strength.
You heard it all here first. Get over it…

Yesterday on NFLN,Rod Woodson and Dummy Sapp were discussing Russell.Once again Sapp looked like a sap.He’d blame the Raiders then change his tune when Rod would point out Russell’s flaws-it actually only took him a couple minutes.Anyway,Rod said Russell HAD to be cut or else the team would be totally lost.

Anyone got any updates on Clady?
Denver says he’ll be ready the first week but the ESPN “medical analyst” says that’s not likely.
Of course the ESPN medical analyst may be Mel Kiper.
You’ve got to love those long distance medical examinations.
Maybe a psychiatrist should do one on Mel Kiper to find out why he gave Al and Cable a “C” on the draft.
I’m thinking paranoid delusions.
April 29th, 2010 at 11:52 am
Kiper mad at us for not taking Clausen… he’ knows what’s best after all… lol
April 29th, 2010 at 11:52 am
And when Rod said Russell had to be cut Aso looked fit to bust a gut laughing.
April 29th, 2010 at 11:54 am
Kipers final mock was a joke when you look back on it. if fact most peoples were. what a waste of time. it’s like trying to predict the weather a year from now. bspn is a joke. they are trying to become larger than the sports the report on… i hate bspn…
April 29th, 2010 at 11:55 am
Rod also mentioned if the Raiders didn’t cut him the team would be playing in an empty stadium.
April 29th, 2010 at 11:55 am
AIG wants to know if Russell’s cut yet.
I hear you.
I log on every day looking for two announcements: That Russell is been cut and has left town and that there’s been a dramatic decline in the fortunes of fast food places in the Bay Area.
April 29th, 2010 at 11:56 am
On that day, the Jaguars were pushed around up front by the Browns. They lost 23-17. The Browns only needed to throw the ball 11 times; they had 49 rushing attempts.
Two starters from the defensive line that day, Quentin Groves and John Henderson, are gone.
………
Al got one of these guys already. Maybe this is why he isn’t going after Henderson.

50% tear of the Patella tendon. We need DRRay in here to break that down for us, but basically not a total tear, but bad enough. He had the surgery done on Tues. Probably 3 months on crutches. Then he has to get back into game shape, which for guys that big could be an issue. He might never be quite the same player again losing some quickness off the edge. Sucks for them. Hopefully Tebow can play all world and “resurrect” their hopes. (hahahaha)

From Wikipedia…
During ESPN’s coverage of 1994 NFL Draft, Kiper criticized the Indianapolis Colts for using their fifth overall pick on linebacker Trev Alberts and not quarterback Trent Dilfer, whom Kiper labeled a “franchise quarterback”.
In 1994, Kiper felt that the Colts, who had Jim Harbaugh, needed a quarterback, and should not have passed on Dilfer, calling them “the laughingstock of the league year-in and year-out.”
Bill Tobin, then the Colts’ director of football operations, stated “Who in the hell is Mel Kiper, anyway? To my knowledge, he’s never put on a jockstrap, he’s never been a player, and all of a sudden he’s an expert. He’s never been a scout. He’s never been an administrator. Mel has no more credibility to do what he’s doing than my neighbor. And my neighbor is a postman who doesn’t even have season tickets.

=======================================
John Henderson’s production has gone down every single year for the last four years. We are trying to bring in high motor guys, not guys who don’t give a sh**. That’s why teams are wary of Henderson and that’s why Joke-sonville cut him the second they drafted Alualu, a high motor guy. We need players who can teach guys like Lamarr Houston how to be excellent pro’s, not how to sluff off and just get by.

England,
I’m with you bro. I check every 30 mins to see if he’s been cut. With the bad economy, I do feel bad for the fast food restaurants on the way to the Alameda training center.
April 29th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
Campbell and Veldher start?
They both look like a work in progress.
Practically every poster wanted Cornell Greene gone but he was snapped up Buffalo pretty fast.
Proving that offensive linemen are hard to come by-never mind about good ones.
Those Buffalo fans are probably talking themselves into believing they got a great player.
Sort of when Cleveland got Rob Ryan.
April 29th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
Thanks Seymour, what sucks for Denver works for us.
April 29th, 2010 at 12:11 pm

April 29th, 2010 at 12:15 pm
According to Cable Veldher might start this season,although i would guess not the first few games.Campbell seems to be more of the project,but we really need someone to play RG.
April 29th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Maybe Cable and Jackson have to sell Davis on Campbell before he will cut Russell.

I got a pick out of that item in today’s USAToday(European version) that said that Clausen went down in the draft due to arrogance but that Rolle went down because he was a Rhodes Scholar!
They thought he’d be too smart? Now that’s funny and ridulous.
April 29th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Lynn,that is what many people are speculating,but I haven’t heard that from the coaches.

April 29th, 2010 at 12:24 pm

I have read this blog just about everyday for the past 2-3 years, purely for entertainment purposes. Never really felt the need to post as I am one who does not enjoy getting into pissing matches with fans on a blog. Only once before now have I posted on this blog under the name..get this…Russell+McFadden=Superbowl lol. That was the day after we drafted Darren McFadden. Lets just say I was completely wrong for chosing such a name.
Yet still, I am man enough to stick my neck out on a limb and say I am probably the only remaining JaMarcus Russell supporter on the planet. After reading all of the hate and vile for this guy(You would think the JR has raped 98% of the posters mothers on this blog the way he is hated), never have a pulled for a player to prove the world wrong. On the flip side I can completely understand why Raider fans and everyone else in the world is down on the guy. He hasn’t given us Raider fans much hope with his actions on and off the field. So it is critisism well deserved.
But it still amazes me how we have all completely given up on a player that is only 24 years old with such talent. JR had a terrible year last year…one of the worse if not the worse for a QB ever. Trust me when I say I have thrown anything within reach at the TV watching raider games last year when JR was stinking up the joint. But this is one Raider fan who is hoping Al Davis gives this guy a shot to prove that last year was a fluke and he can be the QB we all thought he could be. I love the Jason Campbell trade yet I am in the same boat as Vegas Raider and taking a cautious approach with Jason. I live in the heart of SEC country(Birmingham, AL yet Im originally from South Sactown) so I have seen and heard alot about JC. I hope an open QB competition between JC and JR will bring the best out of both players so the team improves.
Im sure most here are going to call me crazy and a host of other names for still supporting JaMarcus and thats cool with me. But i just wanted to express that there are still Raider fans out here that’s in JR’s corner and hope the kid can turn his career around!

We are down on him due to seeing him only wanting to party and not work to making this franchise a success again.

He is in Oakland and already getting with his coaches and teammates. That is what a leader does. Hear Chris Cooley’s interview about him. Should tell ya alot

WHAT such talent? Having a rocket arm isn’t talent, it’s a fluke of nature. Talent is how you handle that rocket arm, and at this point his only talent is getting his fork into his mouth without damaging anything along the way.

You gotta love it! Campbell obviously wants to win after getting dogged in DC. Guy led an undefeated team in college which should have played USC in bcs title game. Jamarcus was on the sideline that year and saw JC give the 16 yard TD pass tothe tight end to win that game by one!!! Then he kicked Russell’s ass against last year!!
April 29th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
All fair responses…I do not blame any of you for not wanting to give the guy a shot. But lets just pretend for amoment:
What if JR shows up at camp this weekend in shape and focused:
What if Jerry witnesses this guy being accurate, taking command of the huddle?
WHat if the game has slowed down for JR and he reads defenses much better? What if working with Hue, the kid shows improvement?
I know….all of those scenarios are far fetched based on what we have seen, but it can happen. Im just one Raider fan who is hoping it does. If not then, show us what you got Jason Campbell.

Jason Campbell was at Kincaid’s again at Jack London square having dinner with Louis Murphy and DHB…..I wasnt there this time but my cousin was who was with me when I took the pic of JC and Hue. They overheard these 49er fans talking a little trash and walked up to my cousin and Louis Murphy said ” We gonna kick their ass this year dont worry bruh”
See JC getting on accord with his WRs. I’m so freakin excited man!!! As Bob said today EPIC
===================================
epic? EPIC???
Oh geez…not another sorry Rome clone?
Is there anything weaker than “Ya Jim…dat was epic”?
That had his sorryass show on KNBR for a short spell, and couldn’t have been more boring if he took a class.

All fair responses…I do not blame any of you for not wanting to give the guy a shot. But lets just pretend for amoment:
What if JR shows up at camp this weekend in shape and focused:
What if Jerry witnesses this guy being accurate, taking command of the huddle?
WHat if the game has slowed down for JR and he reads defenses much better? What if working with Hue, the kid shows improvement?
I know….all of those scenarios are far fetched based on what we have seen, but it can happen. Im just one Raider fan who is hoping it does. If not then, show us what you got Jason Campbell.
*****************************
First off……..Al didnt trade for Campbell to hold a clipboard….no way. If he shows up in shape? The guy needs to lose 50 Lbs to even be a below average QB. The guy sucks. We all had hopes for him but now time to face reality. The guy is trash. Hall of fame super bowl winning QBs are saying the same thing as well

Al would have also cut JRs ass by now, based on the money JR is due, if it was a done deal that JC is the starter. Until that happens, I think AL is think the same as me. Competition will light a fire under his big ass and its eaither shape up or get shipped out. If Hall of Fame super Bowl winning QBs were the know all/be all when it comes to evaluating QBs, they all would have front office jobs as GMs. They can be wrong as well.

April 29th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
Makes sense to let JR go now.
Get the fans back, backing the team.
Maybe get some back buying tickets, now, believing the team dumped the Albatross called Russell..
Of course, it’s Al.
Al, in his loopy state, no doubt has nightmares of his comment to Kiffin, as one of his reasons for ‘just cause’…the infamous “Russell is going to be a great qb in the NFL. Get over it.”…
for that reason, there is ALWAYS the possibility that Al is still hoping to save a little face, and avoid being the laughingstock, again, still with JR gaining the title of biggest Bust Of All Time…which is immediate the moment he’s released.
Even Al knows that.
And even Al knows his comment will come back to bite him in the ass…..
Sooooo…don’t be surprised if Al gets a “revelation” that JR will look “great during camp, and then we can trade him”.

All good peeps! Im a Raider fan before being a fan of any player. Players come and go but the Raiders will remain. I haven’t been back home to Cali in 4-5 years but Im sure everyone hates his ass. I watched a show on BSPN the other day about Ricky Williams(30 and 30 I believe) and everyone gave up on Ricky Williams as well. What Ricky did was far worse than anything JR has done. I heard a Hall of Fame QB Joe Theisman say the man will never play another down in the NFL again. Ricky’s weird ass was able to turn it around though. Maybe JR needs to stop eating so damn much and smoke some good bomb like Ricky..and then he will turn this thing around. Err..scratch that..thats only gonna make his ass even fatter once the munchies kick in.

Agree that al’s first and second round picks have been reaches but he has unearthed some gems in the later rounds. Still on the roster are Murphy, bryant, branch, Bush, henderson, lechler, Miller, Schillens, Shaunessy, Scottt. With all due respect, he’s no more senile than you are Richochet.

He might, if JR REALLY shows something try to get him to take the pay cut and take a back-up slot to develop. But if not…..he will wait until the point just before he has to pay the additional money (and so that another team picking him up would have the least amount of time possible to get him into their system) and THEN cut the selfish, slovenly P.O.S.

Challenge you? No buddy I’m the champ you attempt to challenge me and get smacked down like the little fruit fly you are everytime
==================================
LMFAO…yeah…riiiiight.
Your defense?
“This isn’t going too well…got to get myself banned, then come back later and feign amnesia”.
Hey..for fun?
Explain to me the brilliance of Al’s 270 million dollar acquisition of those juggernauts called Kwame Harris, Javon Walker, Antonio Hall, Tommy Kelly, and Gabril Wilson….because that sure was an astute offseason….right?
We’ll start with that
..you know..considering you think Al’s still….”got it”??
***********************************
LOL its funny you can only highlight Al’s bad moves. Guess what PEDOchet everyone in business has bad moves. It just happens. Al has admitted that. He is man and a man admits his faults. Give him credit on that.
Sad thing is the good moves Al has done are overlooked by buffoons such as yourself. It shows an innate loathing attitude towards the man. It is beyond pitiful
April 29th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
In other words, you have no words??
270 MILLION IN IDIOT CONTRACTS, and you just state ‘oops..was a boo boo”?? lol…
Weak.

Well, hell…explain the brilliance of torching the whole season by keeping Kiffin around JUST TO TRY AND GET JUST CAUSE??
Was an idiot decision, that cost the team, and the organization..yet Al’s old ass only cared about “JUST CAUSE”..and kept Kiffin..even when he was a lame duck coach.

I am just still wondering who was behind this years draft rounds 1-3????
============================
Sure as hell wasn’t Al.
Guy’s loopy. Can’t follow the dots anymore, much less concentrate on fast paced draft exchanges.
**************************************
LOL it wasnt Al yeah sure
=====================
YOU THINK IT WAS AL?
you serious?
*****************************
Yes I am……do you come on this blog to just hate on the Raiders?
===========================
Are you crying?
THERE IS NO CRYING IN FOOTBALL.
And yeah, LMFAO that anyone would think Al all of sudden got a lobotomy, and finally figured out the basics of drafting, when he’s had 7 plus years of HEAD UP ASS, MAKE NO SENSE decisions on the draft…
Yeah…because that’s just how it happens when you’re in your 80’s, stubborn as hell, and going senile.
***********************************
No one is crying Bichy. Just stating the facts about you wanting to throw salt on our joy. Its cool go ahead. We feel great right now and nothing you can say or do will change that. Al knows football but yes he was being stubborn. I’m a stubborn person so I understand Al on that particular front. But to really axt like he doesnt know football anymore is beyond crazy. He just had 3 straight division winning teams along with a a super bowl appearance within the last ten seasons.
But go ahead Bichy…we aint trippin off your hate
=============================================
Again with the crying.
3 straight division winning teams?
Oh…I forgot. you know..I recall someone named Gruden, and Allen who also had a say in that.
And I also recall the exact MOMENT BOTH OF THEM LEFT, the silly stupid asinine drafts started…the moronic off season trades started…the sorry FA massive contracts handed out started…where most of those FA’s were then released, for a huge loss…
but that’s just a coincidence…right?
Who do you think you’re fooling?
Besides yourself?
****************************
Who hired those guys? Who went out and got players? I wonder………NEXT
===================================
BRUCE ALLEN WENT OUT AND GOT THOSE PLAYERS….Next.

Once upon a time, there lay a team mangled by its play. “A franchise QB!” it was declared would save the day.
Marsha Quinn was not the answer, so behold the behemoth and bring him in, JaMan.
Rolling with the tide JaMan chose his number. “#2! ‘Cause I am the schits!”
Game after game the jelly donuts and fast food diet added girth and complacence. Hope waned to shrugs transforming to hopelessness.
It became clearly evident that #2 didn’t give a schit even if he was the biggest schit of all.
Over done and out.

All the personal attacks between y’all aside,
I think you both have some very good points. I don’t think Al made the moves he made and spent the money he spent….with the purpose in mind of making the team worse. But he did have a run of bad evaluations and decisions. I believe he loves the Raiders and always tries to better the team. However, in some instances….the Kiffin mess being one of them….he lets the dollar line get the best of him. That’s where his vindictiveness takes over and he allows himself to get sidetracked into “winning” in the venue of contracts and courts vs. winning on the field.

WRONG.
PREVIOUS YEAR, Kiffin canned Ryan…WHOLE TEAM SAID GOODBYE TO RYAN..Al steps in and states “the ONLY person who fires anyone on this team is ME. Ryan is not fired.”
If that wasn’t bad enough that things went south, at the senior bowl, where the coaches all wear their teams logo’s? Kiffin went out of his way to NOT wear raider gear…whole freaking planet knew Kiffin didn’t want to be there, and that Al didn’t want him there.
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED THEN, AND THE TEAM SHOULD HAVE STARTED THE NEXT SEASON with a different head coach…
Instead he waits? lol..and that notorious embarrassing letter? “Can you see the overhead’??
That alone got Al more ridicule and scorn for having lost it…let me guess?
You think it was a good letter, lol…didn’t you?

Campbell by all accounts is a hard worker and diligently puts in time cracking the books.
He’s had to.
(Jason)Campbell states coaching may be a career choice for him after his playing days are over because he’s learned so many systems.

I would be completely fine with that. That would mean that JC and BG outperformed JR in camp and pre-season and gives the Raiders the best chance at winning. I just want the Raiders to win again man…the last 7 years have been terrible.

I’d be fine with it. Quite frankly, I make a lot of fun about JR on here but I know he is a young kid too. He has a lot of growing up to do. It would not be beyond Al Davis to restructure him for a few more years and let him ride the bench. Al ate the money with Marcus Allen and Javon Walker so I am sure this is no big deal to him.

I always hoped he would turn out.He is a Raider so we should hope for the best.You call DHB a bust after 1 season at a position where it normally takes a few years to come around,yet constantly defend McFadden even though he plays a position that plays well right away.
++++++++++++++++
I am on record as saying I still hold out hope for DHB. Yes I joke about him needing a hand transplant etc, but the kid is a hard worker I have have a little hope that he will develop into SOME type of producer.
You pissed yourself in anger when we took DHB, and then a few hours later you came in and lectured everyone about not being pissed about the pick, lol. I called you on it and pointed it out to everyone and you have been at me ever since lol. Funny schyt.
April 29th, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Nate: My thought was – no competition – except a brief evaluation between JC and BG. JR can SHOW he wants to learn by starting out the season in the #3 slot. Work, study, become a teammate…..we’ll talk in 2 years…..
April 29th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
To me..the most important off season move so far is Al hiring Hue Jackson. JR had his faults but Cable was a terrible play caller. We’d get the running game going last year then all of a sudden, Cable wants to throw the ball for 3 straight plays. Hue did a great job at Baltimore and hopefully he brings the same to the Raiders. Whoever wins the starting QB battle, I hope Hue puts them in the best position to be successful..by setting up the pass with the run game.

As much as I’ve said “Cut him, just get rid of the lazy fatass and stop wasting a roster spot,” there’s still a TINY piece of me that wants to give him a five-thousand-three-hundred-and-twenty-eighth chance to wake up and learn what he has to do to reach his potential. The kid has so many physical gifts that if he can just get his mind right and put in the WORK, then he could really be something great. Watching his highschool highlights where he is slim, trim, mobile, and GOOD at football just tears me up… because he could be quick again… and could LEARN how to go through progressions and read defenses… if only he CARED.
In those highschool highlights, he was only an inch shorter than he is now when he was a freshman… so that lean and quick body type CAN be attained again. If only he could find some desire and dedication, he could then get himself right mentally and physically and become a great QB. I don’t foresee it happening, but there’s just barely enough of a chance for that I would be okay with keeping him IF AND ONLY IF he restructures. If he won’t take a paycut, then he’s admitting that he doesn’t care about football and would rather be out of the game (no one will take his contract or give him anything NEAR it after we cut him) than take a paycut and work to earn a big contract again. Refusing to restructure would be equivalent to admitting that he doesn’t give a damn about the game, the team, the fans, or anything related to football other than the money that he gets for being in the NFL. Once that admission is made, he’s going to be out of a job… and that little piece of me that hopes he might turn it around and find a way to be great while wearing the Silver and Black… well, that little piece will die… just like JaMarcus’s professional football career.

As to McFadden:
I cannot deny his troubles with fumbles.
However, he has been injured the past two years. Injuries happen. It was nothing more than bad luck that in the first game the he was used he was blowing up the competition, and then suffered turf toe, an injury that lingers forever.
It was also unfortunate for McFadden that just prior to the 2008 season we lost our bright, young blocking FB, Oneal, who’s loss was a blow to our entire running game.
It was also unfortunate for McFadden that Tom Cable was promoted to head coach and had a love affair with Fargas and had no clue, or no desire to use McFadden, or Bush for that matter.
It was also unfortunate for McFadden that Tom Cable convinced Al to go with garbage o-linemen the past two seasons.
It was also unfortunate for McFadden that Jamarcus Russell and every other QB on the Raiders was a joke, and so the opposition’s defense could stack the LOS and not even worry about the passing attack.
So is there any reason for hope for McFadden? Hell yes!
First, Tom the joke Cable has been replaced by Hue Jackson as play caller. He will better understand how to utilize McFadden.
Second, Jason Campbell is a qualified NFL QB that defenders will have to account for, which should afford McFadden more reasonable 7 man fronts, and who has the ability to throw a screen pass with accuracy allowing McFadden to do damage in the passing game.
Third, Cable’s butt buddy Fargas is out of the picture. No more opening series drives game planned for Fargas.
Fourth, we have signed several FBs and my hope is that at least one of them can step up and finally replace the lost Oneal, or that Oneal is finally back to full strength and can pick up where he left off.
My hope for McFadden in 2010 is based on logic. Soon you will see me proven right once again…
….unless Al fuks it all up by allowing Cable to call plays, keeping Russell at QB, re-signing Fargas, and cutting all the FBs except for Lawson!
If McFadden can’t stay healthy this season and his injury troubles continue then I will be the first one to admit that McFadden is a failure. But that just isn’t going to happen.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
WOW Dakota,
That brought tears down my cheek.
I’m going to make a change to my trust and I will have you write the words on my tombstone.
Hopefully the trustee can find you. Don’t give up the e-mail record between us.

One of JR’s biggest problems has been mobility. Too fat to get out of his own way. IF he has “learned his lesson” he shows up and weighs in AT LEAST 30 lbs lighter than he exit physical last year. If not…and he restructures….#2 becomes #3 on the depth chart….at best.

Everyone gets a pass except JR..that includes Gallery, Huff, McFadden, Nmandi and many others. Again, JR critisism is well deserved, but all of those players mentioned above sucked ass for their first 2-3-4 years before it clicked(For Nmandi Gallery and Huff anyways).
The Raiders always have talented player. At some point we as fans have to start wondering when we are going to get a COACHING staff that will allow these players to play to their potential.

See…I feel the weight issue is so over-rated. If its all about mobility then Michael Vick would be the best QB in the league. JR has to get the mental game down more than becoming a mobile QB. True if he was a little slimmer, then he could excape the pocket more easily. But I dont thing anyone is calling Patyon, Brady, Brees or Rivers mobile QBs yet they are very successful.
JR has to become a LEADER and master the mental part of being a QB. He has to want to be the best. He hasn’t shown that AT ALL as of yet..I’m hoping starts to get it.

I think the fact that the only thing cable would say about JR is that he’s here, is the sign that he’s not doing the work/study. Wouldn’t the raiders want to scream it to everyone they could if JR was in there studying? Would Al really go get another QB if his protege was working so hard?

The problem is the lazy azz hasn’t taken the necessary steps to show the coaches, fans and even the old man that he cares enough about the game and wanting to be good to warrant BIG money.
If the guy is weighing 245-250 and is in the best shape of his life right now and coming in and working with coaches on 5 days a week, then I’m sure it would be a different story.
If the guy is truly around 290-300 right now, and then that shows he hasn’t taken the necessary steps to show coaches, fans and old man Al that he really gives a damn and that is troubling….

A lot of you people and even Jerry have memory problems, you can’t blame the raiders losing so much last season all on JaMarcus , a lot of it was due to a makeshift o-line and a poor d-line. JaMarcus had only 3 weapons the first few months he was at the QB helm , that was Louis Murphy, Bush, and Zach Miller. Murphy was raw and didn’t really start to produce until Chaz came back was freed him up more, Bush only got the ball when big money Mcfadden was tired or hurt, Zach was double covered then because teams know he was JaMarcus’s favorite and only option. Once Chaz came back Cable had already decided to pin his earlier losses on JR, sure the other guys produced because they are more experienced than JR and they had more options then, they may get rid of JR but it wasn’t all his fault , I believe if he was somewhere like the jets or bucs or jaguars he would be a much better player due to those teams having decent o-lines, JRs only problem off field is his partying and gambling in casinos other than that he’s a good person just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Good Luck JR

April 29th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
To all those defending DMAC…
He is a classic tweener. In college he was big enough and fast enough. In the pro’s, he’s not big enough to run over people and not small enough to evade the tackle. He has great straight line speed but his high center of gravity is not enough for lateral quickness. I was hoping he would be the next Marcus Allen but nope.
Bush runs behind the same line and same coach. Yet Bush had more long runs and success so far. Most Raider fans have to admit that.

DMAC had 5 fumbles in 09, lost 3.
For his Raider career, he fumbled 8 times in 217 carries for a rate of..
3.7%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fargas? 1.2%
Bush? 1.4%
DMAC was a fumbler in college and ain’t stopped.

Have we not seen fumblitis cured in the NFL? Thanks

To all those defending DMAC…
He is a classic tweener. In college he was big enough and fast enough. In the pro’s, he’s not big enough to run over people and not small enough to evade the tackle. He has great straight line speed but his high center of gravity is not enough for lateral quickness. I was hoping he would be the next Marcus Allen but nope.
Bush runs behind the same line and same coach. Yet Bush had more long runs and success so far. Most Raider fans have to admit that.

Very true but also we must admit we dont give him enough touches…Ken Stabler’s words mean alot to me and he agrees we should

No one on this earth knows what Al is up to. But Corkran is cool to confirm or deny with me on things that I need to know. Like when Corkran spill the beans on Raider scoop from his inside sources, he will tell me if it’s from Herrera or Taylor or not. That’s important to know for us Raider fans.

I know we can’t agree on everything, but I believe Henderson is out of gas. I read some reports from Jacksonville, and comments from fans and his play has dropped off considerably.
Do you believe in a second, that Jacksonville would waive him if he could still play. He has been double teamed, beat up, and played at a high level for so long.
His time has ended to be a dominant DT. If he comes cheap, and he joins the Raiders, he should be limited to a handful of snaps per game. I would like to see a younger DT get his snaps and roll with his unknown play, instead of carring a broken down DT.

If Al wants to fire up the Raider fan on game day, all he has to do is sign Big John. Then show it live on the trumbotron the moment big John get slapped by the Trainer. That should fire people up. I would love to see that.

Why are you guys always harping on grabbing other teams trash? It’s getting to be a wasted play, it worked earlier but then it plays out we need young hungry players who want to get pai not some vet who’s only thinking about his retirement and how much he can milk Al out of , not some guy who isn’t willing to hit anymore just soft tackle , we need young guys with fire in their eyes who want to prove themselves!

I remember Sam Adams and he was limited also. His play was good, but not great, but at the time filled a need.
I’m just commenting B, that Henderson was not waived due to salary, it was his production on the field. Have you noticed no other teams have jumped in and signed him. You could give reasons why to no team has signed him. The draft is over and if a team needed to fill a need at DT you would have thought, he would have been called to visit or signed by now.
I’m just saying he is not the player he was, we need a player who can compete on a high level to play along side of Kelly.

The right situation will soon be played out. I have hope for DMAC dut to Hue Jacksons ability to trust his RB’S.
He Jackson, took McClain and in 08 was a RB in a system that produced great yards and running game. Then Ray Rice last year, we saw that incredible talent come through also.
I believe Jackson will place DMAC in the right position to create plays, I just hope he gets that chance.

You weren’t here for the most recent breakdown of RMR. I tricked him into admitting that he’s just a troll, coming here for attention and drama… that he’s not a Raiders fan… and that he USED TO BE, but he’s a bandwagon fairweather fan.
Then, after tricking him into admitting it, I threw it back in his face, so he’s been backpedaling ever since, trying to play it off and acting like he’s always made it known that he’s not a fan and that he has always been on the level. He’s been doing so much damage-control that it’s hilarious in its futility. I have actually turned the corner and begun to pity him more than I do Kell and TJ.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, December 31, 2009
Zorn has worked more closely with Campbell than perhaps anyone since the quarterback was drafted. And though he didn’t want to bestow the “franchise” label on Campbell, Zorn has noticed plenty of progress in the past two seasons.
“He showed this year, he can turn a receiver down, really read a coverage, read a progression and get the ball to the right guy,” Zorn said. “I don’t think he’s been as stuck on just a single receiver like he was in the first year.”
Others note that some of Campbell’s most impressive qualities can’t be found on the stat sheet. Campbell has endured a season playing behind a patchwork offensive line. The team’s playbook has been limited and all but eliminated most five- and seven-step drops. He’s led an offense that’s cycled through four starting running backs and rarely established much of a running game. He lost his favorite receiving target — injured tight end Chris Cooley — and had to break in young teammates Devin Thomas, Fred Davis and Malcolm Kelly.
“The difference I see with Jason and everybody else, a lot of quarterbacks aren’t going to take the stuff that he’s taking every week,” wide receiver Santana Moss said. “They either going to say something to those guys in front of him or they going to say something upstairs . . . but he just shut his mouth every week and went out there and played football, dealing with the circumstances. And that’s hard. That’s hard for me to even sometimes look at because I’d be wanting to talk or say something for him.”

So you think Jackson gave up a job with Baltimore and turned down the Bears for their OC position so that he could come here and give Cable suggestions on plays?
I don’t think so.
He is our OC and he damned well better be calling ALL of the plays, otherwise we are just as screwed in 2010 as we were under Cable in 2008 and 2009.

My problem wit DMAC is that I have never seen him take one to the house. Whether its season or preseason. All that blazing speed and the one you finally broke you got snatched from behind and hurt for the rest of the season. What has it been 3 years and not one long run for a TD.

Bri@n,
Below is the PFT report on why the possible release of Henderson.
I still believe a younger, more active DT can be effective, whether it’s Bryant or someone else.
You want a space eater, clog and tie up two lineman. Henderson just can’t do that anymore.
Oh, by the way, KC has not asked to visit with Henderson, that was just an inquiry by their part as a team.

Loss to Browns shaped Jaguars offseason
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 29, 2010 1:16 PM ET
Don’t tell Jaguars G.M. Gene Smith that a Week 17 game between two teams with virtually no playoff hope is meaningless.
“The Cleveland game was a defining game for us,” Smith told Vic Ketchman of the Jaguars’ website. “If the fans need an indication of why some of the changes were made, they need to go back and evaluate what happened in the Browns game. To me that was a defining game.”
On that day, the Jaguars were pushed around up front by the Browns. They lost 23-17. The Browns only needed to throw the ball 11 times; they had 49 rushing attempts.
Two starters from the defensive line that day, Quentin Groves and John Henderson, are gone. Jacksonville drafted four defensive linemen to replace them, including first-round pick Tyson Alualu.

Tony Washington still waits… PFT story.
I would like the Raiders to bring this sex offender, the guy had issues seven years ago, he was a kid back then, I get that he has done a terrible thing, but bring him as undrafted FA and let him show what he got, who knows, he could be the next Michael Oher we need another OT cause I have a feeling Barnes might get injured again. Get this kid sign him in the practice squad see how he develops, if anyone gets injured, give him he chance.
I would also like the Raiders to sign Henderson and if he doesnt want to become a Raider, go after the guy the Broncos released J’Vonne Parker DT 6′4 325 lbs at age 27. He could be a snitch, tell us all we need to know about the Donkeys and if he steps it, then he stays if not, we could cut him lose. We still need one more DT, one more C. Mawae is begging for a job, AL should try getting a pro bowl center. Signing Henderson and Mawae would improve this team dramatically, if we taking no old guys route, then sign two undrafted FA C and DT.

Henderson is a far better idea than Haynesworth…
sign henderson now !!!

Henderson gave up by the time they played the Browns, you sign the guy for a one year contract, he will be motivated. Also we could sign him for two year contract filled with incentives, thats how you motivate a big man. Henderson is a wall when it comes to run defense and thats what this team needs.

Now the Raiders need to COACH these players up and instill TOUGHNESS, DISCIPLINE, but keep things FUN!
Get these players to PLAY THROUGH THE WHISTLE!

Two of the last three years Henderson has not been very good. And three of the last four years Henderson has not been very good. If you want a fat ass that nobody else is going to pick up, Terdell Sands is sitting by his phone right now.
April 29th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
I still want Tony Washington, been saying it since the draft ended. Things have been said about him being a 1- 2nd round talent that would slip to the late rounds because of a small school and the sex thing with his sister, but there is little risk if he is a UDFA.
I like the idea of signing the Bronoco guy who may be able to be that wide body guy for like a year and tell us their plans haha.

Jay Glazer is saying Russell WILL be at the workouts this weekend..
Unlike the d-bags at BSPN, Jay is more often than not correct, with his reports on these types of stories..
That being said. Someone else posted here earlier that the vengeful Al may just keep Russell around for one LAST chance, then cut him at the end of camp. Making it more difficult for Russell to land on another team.
I could see that happening.
Don’t worry about Russell getting hurt in camp. To quote the late MLB pitcher Rob Beck: “No one has ever been on the DL, for pulled fat.”

Exactly, not only that, the Parker is 6′4 325 lbs and is only 27 years old with no wear and tear, you never know where you might find a gem. As they say one man’s thrash is another man’s treasure. The minimum we get from him is everything we need to know about McDaniels. Then again, remember Aberuyo Franklin who is franchised by the 49ers, the ravens just kept him and the niners jumped on him and he was a pro bowl alternate last year, so you never know how a player might play with another team. I can’t wait for the day Dorsey gets cut, I think the Chiefs are wasting his talent, he clearly never played 3-4 in his life. He doesnt fit that system but with the LSU, he was solid contributor and won the national championship. I think Raiders should trade for him by exchanging a guy like Jay Richardson who is better fit in the 3-4 then 4-3.
April 29th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
How about Tony Washington though? Does anyone want him? I think him/Veldheer/Campbell could be our LT with one moving to RG and the other going to RT.
April 29th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
That is after this season and if Henderson does bad again btw.
April 29th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I know Russell drama is taking everyone’s attention, but I’m curious, has there been any statement from the NFL network about Sapp and his recent run in with the law? Guilt has never been a factor in levying a punishment of some sort. Ex player or not, he still represents and works for the NFL. If anything, he should be held to an even higher standard. Has anyone heard of anything happening? All I see is he’s out for a few months and then he’s back, with nothing said. Why the silence?

Raiders4eve,
My comments earlier to Bri@n, are the reasons I would like to see someone else as the DT, next to Kelly.
You have some valid points, as you stated. I just believe, if Henderson was able to dominate his gaps as he should in Jacksonville system, there would be no reason to release him.
Henderson was a dynamic duo with Stroud next to him in their Defense a few years back. Stroud signed that FA contract with Buffals and Hendeson has been exposed since. He has slowly been giving up his gaps and has shown no dominance as he once did.
So the question is, did Stroud make him the player or did Henderson just get worn down.
Finally to your point. I don’t know about you, but to say your out of the playoffs and there is no motivation to play hard, I just can’t understand that logic. Henderson should play hard for his next contract, no matter what the circumstances are of his team. That would worry me, is he motivated by his play or his lack of pride and team.
I’m off to the gym, comment back and I’ll check back later.
