Boschetti back for another try
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, May 17th, 2010 at 7:06 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Defensive tackle Ryan Boschetti, a defensive tackle thought to have a good chance of making the Raiders roster last season only to be a training camp casualty on the final cut, has signed a contract, according to Raiders.com
Boschetti earned positive reviews from coach Tom Cable when he signed in April of last year. Boschetti played at UCLA when Cable was the Bruins’ offensive coordinator and the coach spoke in glowing terms of Boschetti’s ability to defend the run and play with necessary energy on the defensive line.

May 17th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Haynesworth wants to “rush the QB” he says.
Nothing about staying in his lanes and occupying blockers, being stout against the run.
Just “I want to get after the QB” and you are not paying me enough to occupy blockers since it is not what I want to do.
May 17th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
JWB,
Haynesworth is not a NT he just isn’t. It takes a special type of animal to play NT. That’ why I keep preaching to these guy’s that converting to a 3/4 is not that easy. NT’s are hard to ind just because you weigh a certain thing doesn’t mean you can play that position. It takes a certain mentality one that you are willing to take a vicious beating all game long for the good o the team and get NO glory or it.
Hanyesworth is a playmaking DT so are most DT’s and playing the point is sacrificial. It’s very difficult it’s also very difficult to playcall a 3/4 system. I think we have the talent to play it occasionally but to stay in it get’s your DT too muc wear and tear if he’s not use to it.
Fans just cry for things without thinking it all the way through, they think it’s easy to go from one alignment to another but it’s very difficult and requires lots of discipline.
Haynesworth is not wrong in his stance you have to know what type of player you are. He knows he can’t play that position over an extended period o time. He’s just being honest.
May 17th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
This guy is nuts…He feels deveived before or after he got the 30 million this yr
May 17th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
I understand that but coaches and schemes change. I feel him n a way on not being there because nothing is mandatory right now but tofeel deceived?
May 17th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Priest,
I didn’t know players told teams what positions they want to play. What is this little league, just go run to the position you want to play?
The Redskins signed Haynesworth to be an interior lineman. Parts of being an interior lineman are getting after the QB, parts of it are sucking up lineman.
Seems he wants to do some parts of the job, but not all of it. They paid him to do all of it and he cashed the checks, so seems to me he has no leg to stand on here.
May 17th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
But ur right he is a natural dt not nt
May 17th, 2010 at 8:11 pm

Why don’t we ask DMC to play B then and get ZMiller to play LT a 40 lbs. and become a lineman. Come on man if it’s within reason and the player is accommodating it’s goo for the team. If he’s not what’s the point?
May 17th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Play DMC at FB
May 17th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Priest,
To me, it is like a DB throwing a hissy because he doesn’t get to play zone, a RB getting mad because he is in to pass-protect for a play or something along those lines.
You really think Washington is going to pay Haynesworth all that money to just absorb blockers 100% of the time? Of course not, but what did they get when he played the position he wanted? 4 sacks, less tackles than TK and a few missed games.
If I was Washington I would tell him he wasn’t good enough at what he did last year, and his inconsistant play got him a new less glamorous job. Don’t like it, do better.

That’s their prorogative, Haynesworth has always been a heacase. You knew that when you signed him. The best thing they can do is get him a NT and let it rip IMO.
Changing systems is not that simple. That’s why I keep telling guy’s like SnB asking or a NT in a 4/3 system defeats the entire purpose of the system. If you’re getting a NT then the next step is to switch t a 2gap 3/4 system to accommodate him.
May 17th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
Priest,
I will be the first to admit that X and O’s, and all the 2 gap, 5 technique and all that stuff is not my gig.
So yes, in large part, Washington made it’s bed by signing him, and now they must lay in it.
I just don’t want Albert here, and John Henderson only on the cheap. SnB wants miracles performed in one year, that just ain’t happening.
Offseason is going 100% as planned for me in my head. Kept Cable but got him OC help. Drafted McClain and other line guys, got rid of Jamarcus, Fargas, Cornell, Kirk and Warren.
What more can we ask for?

BHP you are a fuking moron! The Left Defensive Tackle is what is called an Under Tackle who goes up against the RG and the Right Defensive Tackle is the Nose Tackle who goes against the LG and C.
You talking only a NT is in the 3-4 defense shows how much you really know. shut up old man and take your old ass to bed. I’m sure the big Bingo tourney tired you out

THat isn’t a true NT in the true sense of the word. It’s just termed that way to differentiate between the 2 DT’s. The true sense of a NT is in a 3/4 system. It’s true they do want the LDT to tie up doubles but the term NT came from the 3/4 alignment. You can als play 2gap in a 4/3 alignment but it doesn’t make a lot sense. Still some teams have one it.
There is no MLB in a 3/4 an there is no NT in a 4/3 it’s a contradiction in terms.

Haynesworth is a crybaby son of a whatever-you-want-to-call-him but like Priest said he is not NT. I lived in Nashville when he was there and he can be a BEAST at DT when he wants to be. But to be a Please-beat-my-@ss-all-game-long NT takes a special breed and there are really only about 5-7 true all game long, good NTs in the NFL. It is more than being a 350lb fatboy. Skins best bet is to trade him because Albert will screw at a locker room when he is unhappy.

In a 4/3 you have 2 interior lineman and 2 ends so a nose tackle isn’t in the picture technically speaking. You could argue the 2 interior guys are BOTH nose tackles!

I dont even blame tj for his lunacy. The people who try and debate him give him opportunity to say things like “Some people can’t see the forest for the trees.” I learned a long time ago not to talk to tj but to talk at him like the stooge that he is.

That kind of talent is rare and very di9fficult to come by, that’s what Russell should apire to become. A few years with DMc and then the rest with Russell and it changes EVERYTHING………….period
=================================================
This one’s still my all time favorite, tj. You called out your hero, Al Davis, as someone that should be knitting. McNabb was right there, wasn’t he? Could have had that overrated poser for a 1st rounder. But nooooooo…..

So what’s Russell gonna do with his self-praising self-idolizing diamond statue of himself in a Raider #2 jersey, I wonder? Probably find it in an Alabama pawn shop in a few short years, I’m guessing.

There is a reason why Russell doesn’t have a job yet.
On the other hand there are two reasons why TO doesn’t have a job yet-age and attitude.
Jerry, you think we should stay away from Merriman and go after TO?
I don’t know that we want either one but you’ve probably got that reversed.
Even last year Cable said that the biggest problem on the team-and one that’s been holding us back for some time-was the it’s-all-about-me attitude on the team.
The Raiders, thanks to Cable pushing, are doing something about that, why bring in a cancer like TO?

What do you guys think about players doing this?
My feeling is that, if you sign a contract in good faith you honor it and play FOR THE TEAM (which includes teammates). The team cannot re-structure (lower) for lack of production…so why should a player demand more money early because he had a better season than HE thought he would be when he signed???!!!
May 18th, 2010 at 8:01 am
I hate agreeing with ESPN but this would be one FA pick up I think we should sign to a 1 yr deal. I hate his attitude at times but he does come to play and we need a veteran WR in the worse way. He is not the TO of old but he can move the chains when he is in rythm. Our WRs get hurt way to much and are to inconsistant to count on this year.

The team cannot re-structure (lower) for lack of production…so why should a player demand more money early because he had a better season than HE thought he would be when he signed???!!!

Well, well, well. Boschetti re-joins the Silver and Black just as Baby Howie Cooper has, but this time it is during the brand new Daniel Loper Era!
I smell a Super Bowl what with the addition of Travis Goethel as well.

I disagree with this completely. Teams do not honor contracts if the player isn’t living up to it. The raiders just released russell. Are you saying that since the team signed him to the 6 year deal, they should have honored it and kept paying him?
Look at Chris Johnson on the Titans. He led the NFL in rushing last year and he is scheduled to make less than the 3rd team rb on that team. His only leverage is to hold out for a better deal because he’s earned it..
May 18th, 2010 at 8:14 am
Good point, CJ.
Guess I was too focused on contracts not being built to account for both production and lack thereof. There are often fiscal “incentives” built in….but not penalties.
May 18th, 2010 at 8:16 am
As a matter of fact Stars seemed to hold out more in the late 80s and 90s.

No, you’re right Sac.
But I do think there should be a base……with both incentives and reductions based on performance.
Just seems like, so often, guys get their money and then cruise….

they wont lower your contract but they sure will cut your as s
May 18th, 2010 at 8:24 am
Guess the whole JaMarcus thing still has my goat.
Makes me sick to think a dumb kid can take that kind of money…then just laugh at those who trusted in him enough to agree to pay it…with him having to do virtually nothing to earn the money. 5.6 million per win….over 100,000 per completion.
How can that not make Raiders fans sick?
The ought to be some accountability built in. Hopefully, this all gets fixed next year without a strike!

Yeah, i really think the contract structure in the nfl needs some re-tooling.. Like sign players for a shorter time but give the team more options with franchise tags or option years. like sign a rookie to a 2 year deal, and then give the team an option to pick up another 2 or 3 years at an average of the top 5 players at that position. That way, the rookie comes in and works hard to develope the first 2 (or 3) years and then gets a payday for the final 2 years before he can hit free agency and get another pay day. that way the team hasn’t committed big money to an unproven player, and the player can still earn good money in year 3.

It is understandable for players to seek to use their leverage for more cash when they produce as have Andre and CJ28 as they know two things full well; 1) NFL careers are truly not for long – especially in the case of RBs; 2) NFL owners are going to make money hand over fist regardless of what players are in da house because of the guaranteed TV revenues.
that said, CJ28 is underpaid by his professional standards but Andre Johnson already makes a king’s ransom for a few hours work on Sundays. Two wholly different scenarios in their hold-outs.
May 18th, 2010 at 8:30 am
I like your plan, Sac!

I agree with your premise, but i don’t agree that football players only work for a few hours on sundays. Andre Johnson didn’t get to be where he is at today by only putting in a few hours work on sundays.. Thats why russell is where hes at..

Uh, by the way, SacRaider…..when I call you “Sac” it is just an abbreviation….not an intended insult!
Methinks I will dispense with the laziness and use your full moniker in the future.

Everybody calls me Sac.. No biggie.. Now if it was sack (with the k) then i might take it differently..

Maybe not. Raiders don’t have an exhorbitant amount of money invested in only one WR’S. Only relatively large amount is DHB’S…..

johnson isnt even a top 5 WR paid in the league but he plays hard all the time

if he takes a pay cut then this will probly work

SacRaider,
what players do during their off-seasons are their own individual choices.
they are paid weekly game checks for their work on Sundays.
which actually amounts to only a few minutes of realtime work.
essentially, Andre Johnson could train 7 hours/day during the off-season or he could smoke weed and chow on glazed doughnuts all day.
whatever he chooses as long as he produces on Sundays.

But a lot of teams also build workout bonuses into contracts so that players will work out with the teams. I do know that they get game checks and i understand your argument. My argument is just that a football player works a lot more that just a few hours on sundays if he wants to be the best.

BoSJack,
did you catch that NewYorkDailyNews article about drugs in the NFL? I posted a link a couple of days ago.
A current NFLer, writing anonymously, related that only once in either May or June are players tested by the league for “street drugs”. The player wrote that the training staff will give ‘em a heads up when the time is coming.
Otherwise players are only tested by the league for PEDs.
They can smoke and snort and shoot all season long if they want to and the league doesn’t care.
May 18th, 2010 at 9:00 am
have we ever made a deal with the texans since they came out
May 18th, 2010 at 9:01 am
Lonetree,
Are the penalties for weed the same as a PED? Looking back at the Ricky Williams saga, it appears so. Why would the NFL test them in the dog days of offseason? They want them cleaning up for camps?
May 18th, 2010 at 9:05 am
BoSJack,
in Williams case it was because was caught in the inital test and then more testing was mandated.
the player writing the article said that everyone knows they just have to be clean that one time in May/June and that the players regard anyone who tests positive during that time is an “idiot”.

May 18th, 2010 at 9:33 am
People here write of JLH, DHB, Chaz and Murphy but seldom is anything written considering Jacoby Ford at wideout.
As well as a kick returner, in the slot the kid could be everything that Nicky “Shin Splints” hasn’t been.
May 18th, 2010 at 9:36 am
kid could be everything that Nicky “I’ll be erady week 16” hasn’t been.
May 18th, 2010 at 9:43 am
ford could be good but not a sure fit like nicky but he does have J Cribbs potential
May 18th, 2010 at 9:46 am
but he cant play QB like Cribbs from wildcat
May 18th, 2010 at 9:54 am
and personally, I would rather see the Raiders attempt to use Jacoby in formations that many of you have mentally slated for McFalldown as a receiver since I have no confidence whatsoever that McFumble won’t just cough up the rock no matter whether he gets it as a hand-off or by air.
