No news is, well, still news
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010 at 7:59 am in Oakland Raiders.
Yes, I’m spending most of this weekend watching a 13-and-under baseball tournament, but I’ve got a cell phone and a computer in case anything happens with the Raiders . . . which it hasn’t.
The business has evolved into one that is as preoccupied with projecting a sequence of events as repeating them.
With that in mind, here’s what’s going on with the Raiders until further notice:
– Jason Campbell is a huge upgrade from JaMarcus Russell, but things will get very interesting when Bruce Gradkowski takes the field in Napa. He built a lot of support after taking over for Russell, but it won’t take more than a few Campbell successes for teammates to surmise that anyone was going to be an improvement.
– The most important metatarsal in the NFL belongs to Chaz Schilens.
Sorry, but coach Tom Cable’s enthusiasm of the corps of wide receivers comes off as whistling in the graveyard without Schilens.
For a fourth-round draft pick, Louis Murphy was a revelation. But other than Schilens and Murphy, it’s a crapshoot. DHB and JLH? Unproven in capital letters. Jacoby Ford is at least a year away from racing under rainbows consistently. Todd Watkins, Jonathan Holland, Shaun Bodiford . . . . need I go on?
Cable can say all he wants they haven’t considered Terrell Owens, but if there is any real concern about Schilens or the longer term, some kind of incentive-laden one-year deal with Owens is worth considering.
– Hue Jackson is the man.
Argue amongst themselves how it transpired, but common sense says Al Davis told Cable the only way he was staying on is if he turned over the offense to someone else, and Jackson is that person.
Lot of buzz amongst the players regarding Jackson. He’s bringing back a good practice mentality in which he wants the offense to get after the defense, and will let the defense know about it when they’ve been had.
– The Raiders (and this is purely a Davis thing) don’t exclude the media for the sake of secrecy. They do it because they can.
As Monte Poole points out, it doesn’t make a lot of sense with regard to Jackson.
– Speaking to Poole’s point about fans seeing enough good things this offseason to return to the fold, a retired Oakland police officer I see occasionally told me he sent in his season ticket money the moment he heard about the release of Russell. I’m sure he’s not alone.
– Any talk of going to a predominantly 3-4 defense remains just that _ talk _ until further notice.
It’s possible the Raiders are going heavy on 3-4 on the days the media can’t watch organized team activities, and equally as possible they’re doing the same old stuff.
– Heavyweights ought to look elsewhere.
Other than undrafted free agent Kellen Heard, a 354-pound nose tackle, the Raiders have been (other than JaMarcus Russell) watching the scales closely the past few years. Terdell Sands was eventually sent packing because of it.
– Gradkowski has no intention of settling for being a backup quarterback.
Which is precisely what makes him an ideal backup quarterback.
– As time goes on, the most relevant and interesting drills, seven-on-seven’s and team sessions will be when Darren McFadden is sent into a pass pattern on the outside guarded by either Kamerion Wimbley or Trevor Scott, and how the Raiders’ defense responds. The far-too-early-returns show McFadden having his way.
– Teams will continue to inquire about running back Michael Bush, but there is no chance he’ll be traded because he’s still working for the salary of a fourth-round draft choice and Davis would insist on first-round compensation.
– Given the limitations of the offseason, the Raiders can speculate they’ve fundamentally improved (specifically with the pick of Rolando McClain) but have no hard evidence they can dominate the two areas which marked the great teams of the franchise’s distant pass _ blocking and tackling.

Jerry,
Make me your leader!
May 23rd, 2010 at 8:44 am
Morning O
I agree with Jerry, Hue is the man.
May 23rd, 2010 at 8:46 am
These next two months are going to be hard on those of us that are addicted to talking football.
Thanks Jerry, good to know you’re still with us.
May 23rd, 2010 at 8:57 am
Good Morning Big Ted.
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:01 am
Jerry! Hope you had a good relaxing week end!
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:06 am
For the first time in a long while the Raiders don’t seem like pathetic losers.
I remember in Seattle, Marshalls’ defense wasn’t full of monsters. They had a lot of quickness up front and good LB’s. I guess that is the goal here as well.
The Seahawks were at least a decent NFL defense, I hope we can be this year also.
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:07 am
I don’t agree that Murphy had 9 drops last season. He was robbed by the refs on at least three of those!
If anyone should teach our receivers how to catch, it should be Zach – best hands on the team – Miller.
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:10 am
“Other than undrafted free agent Kellen Heard, a 354-pound nose tackle, the Raiders have been (other than JaMarcus Russell) watching the scales closely the past few years. Terdell Sands was eventually sent packing because of it.”
======================
You’re the man Jerry, but are you sure Sands wasn’t sent packing for reasons other than weight? I seem to recall you mentioning he was trimmed down (for him) before his release…
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:17 am
Just saw “the blind side” last night. Quite inspirational.
I hope B. Campbell can become an outstanding tackle for the Raiders.
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:20 am
Ugh, Monte Poole? Pluh-ease.
His whining over Davis’s shunning of the press is one skeletonized horse.
Get over it.
Davis does it cuz MOST of the press can’t be trusted and whether they like it or not, it IS a tactical advantage.
Likely not to the point Davis does it, but I think he just enjoys tweaking the nose of detractors like Jaunty Foole.
Keep whinin’ and drooling over Rex Ryan. Thats never going to happen for you in Oakland.
U may get a glimpse, but you will never be allowed in.
Frankly, thats ok with us fans even if its clearly a burr for you. Actually, its kind of a plus.
Like it or not, the Raiders are anti establishment and yeah, you are part of that establishment Montague.

I like the story, but Disney’s sappy, ridiculous telling was a joke. There was no car crash, no gun battle with drug dealers ect.
Ridiculous.
Inspirational, but hokey and btw, Disney is an evil empire.
Good for Oher though.
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:23 am
LOL @ Nmadi! Love when a guy tries to be all smart and Shakespearean on a football blog.

Are they burning your books yet Nnam?
To the Media:
When Davis has something to say, you will know. He will be clear and concise, and he may even put it up on the overhead for your convenience. Until then, no reason for all the wild guessing. It gets insulting at a certain point.
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:28 am
There was a car crash, but it was hella’ Disney-fied.
Not enough football in it! only like 1 game.
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:33 am
Hmmmm…. Is it Disneys job to make money on a movie or to follow a particular true story word for word. I wonder??
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:33 am
What do y’all think about grabbing Randell El in FA? He may not have the speed he used’ta, but he has exp with J. Campbell, Right?
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:54 am
Blocking and tackling are blue-collar qualities embodied in earlier years from the team’s Eastbay roots. This was all lost when Davis went Hollywood and sold the team’s soul when he moved to LA. So instead of a Joe Thomas or Oher, Davis went for the ‘glitz’ of Russell, McFadden and DHB. But that’s ancient history.. Let’s turn this thing around.
May 23rd, 2010 at 9:59 am
I rather have Coles, TO, or even Moose over Randel.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:02 am
I am pretty sure Randell El resigned with the steelers, but I would really consider trading for Patrick Crayton. A veteran receiver with great hands, who runs solid routes and be a cluth guy on third down. I am sure he could help our young receivers with preparation.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:05 am
Things I cant get over from the last decade:
1- drafting Gallery that year over: larry Fitz, S Taylor, and V Wilfork!!!!!
2- letting Sir Charles Go.
3- trading for D Hall!!!
4- drafting DHB that high!!!!!!
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:07 am
I don’t consider Crayton a Vet.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:11 am
He never started a full 16 game season. He had 13 starts 1 year, and be did well, but he is not a Vet IMO.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:15 am
2004 & 2005: no starts
06: 7 starts
07: 13 starts
08: 7 starts
09: 6 starts
No 60+ catches or 1000 yards season!
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:17 am
More vet WRs will be available later due to Roster cuts.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:19 am
I consider a 31 year old receiver a veteran compared to what we have. He is the third receiver on the cowboys, so he would’nt be in the starting lineup. I think he would be a good receiver to have in the mix.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:20 am
I like Laverneous Coles. We should try to get him.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:20 am
Regarding the DT’s, I’d like to give John Henderson a shot too, but if it doesn’t happen, here’s what I think…
Tommy Kelly: This guy has changed, he used to be in the 290-300 lbs. his first few years, when he played DE-DT, he was big, fast and active and could line up almost everywhere and be effective.
I don’t know how much he’s weighed the past couple of years but he’s clearly heavier and not the same player, I think it goes back to his knee injury, he lost some quickness and put on some bad weight.
Anyway, I think he should stop trying to get his old game back and start putting on even more weight, he needs to become a 330-340 lbs. anchor in the middle, we don’t need him to be a versatile player anymore, Seymour and Bryant can play that role.
Kelly should just get as big as he can, while remaining in somewhat decent shape to become a run-stuffing specialist, then we can limit his snaps to 1st downs and run situations.
He’s 6′6, he can carry 330-340 plus and he’s always been a decent athlete, the guy will turn 30 in december, he’s not gonna suddenly turn into Kevin Williams, might as well try to change his training to focus on power and run stuffing so he can become more of a Shaun Rodgers-Kris Jenkins type of player.
I don’t know if sucha a thing can be done, but I would give it a shot.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:23 am
The cowboys had Crayton for the last 6 years, the signed TO, traded for Roy Williams, developed a WR (M Austin), and drafted a WR in the 1st RD. What does that tell you about crayton?
Btw, Roy Williams or P Crayton will be cut soon IMO.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:24 am
They signed TO*
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:31 am
By the way, on post 28, I’m not saying that’s the solutions to our run problems, I’m saying that’s what I would try to do with Tommy Kelly.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:32 am
crayton is deff a vet wr he has been around for awhile just cuz he never had a outstanding season does not mean he does not have the time and experience that makes a player a vet, on top of that he has some hands on him and is a good route runner, would be nice to throw him in with shilens,murphy,heyward-bey,and higgens that would be a decent wr corps. i’d say he is better than watkins, holland and any other practice squad wr we try to but in a real game.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:39 am
Raider O,post 21,agree with you,except for Gallery.Seems to me that when Gallery is in the lineup,the OL is simply better.Oh,and How are you doing, young fella? I just got my season tickets again,even tho we STILL dont have a GM,couldnt help myself, got a good feeling for this 2010 season!Raiders!!!!!
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:43 am
I read that Monte “The Tool” Poole article about Hue Jack and his being “unavailable” for interviews this morning and all it told me is that these “jounalists” don’t seem willing to investigate anything.
I would surmise that Hue Jack does not live in a vacuum, that he does have telephones, an address, that he does dine at restaurants that he does shop for groceries etc.
How hard could it be to run into Hue Jack and ask him some questions?
Appears that these “jounalists” prefer to sit around on their fat a$$es expounding their whining “wisdom” while waiting for someone to call them with some info rather than to investigate anything.
Nixon would’ve loved if Woodward and Bernstein were instead Poole and McDonald ’cause then there would never have been Watergate.
May 23rd, 2010 at 10:49 am
I never said I was looking for a number one receiver, just made a observation that Crayton could be a nice piece to have. I dont have anything against signing Muhammed,TO,or Coles, just thinking outside the box.

May 23rd, 2010 at 11:05 am
Anything new?
May 23rd, 2010 at 11:21 am
I’m real excited about Desmond Bryant, I think people are overlooking this guy.
To go from playing Ivy league football to the NFL in one year is no small feat and he didn’t just make the roster, he played and showed he belongs in the pros.
The guy has everything you look for in a DL in terms of size, speed and strength and he’s a hard working, smart kid … there’s no reason for him not to improve in his second NFL season with a year under his belt and one of the best DL coaches around in Mike Waufle.
I definitely think Bryant and Tyvon Branch are in for really good seasons.

Nnamdi21 and a few other posters here still don’t get it.
They seem to think that Russell turned out to be a gargantuan bust because of a lack of dedication and work ethic.
They still insist that Russell is a tremendous talent and that his potential is unlimited if only he tried harder or was surrounded by a better supporting cast and organization.
Yes, Russell is a big strong guy with a cannon for an arm. That’s obvious.
But what’s equally obvious is that Russell doesn’t possess many other attributes required to excel at the NFL level.
Frankly, Russell is too stupid and lacks the accuracy necessary to be anything more than a marginal NFL QB.
Russell’s lack of work ethic is correctable.
His lack of accuracy and intelligence is not.
==========================================
This is a really bad post. And I mean a really bad post. NO ONE that knows Russell, or worked with him has EVER come out and called him stupid. And as for the accuracy statement, Russell came out of college ranked in the top 5 in EVERY passing category at LSU. He was 2nd in school history in passing accuracy and TD’s. He was always accurate. So, what happened?
Plain and simply, Russell did not want to be coached. Russell figured he knew everything already. Kiffin knew he couldn’t get thru to him, Paul Hackett couldn’t get thru to him, Tollner couldn’t, Tom Cable tried and couldn’t, and so they finally gave Hue Jackson one final chance. Jackson knew in five seconds he couldn’t get thru to him either. So that was that.

I think you are exactly right on this entire post. Bryant was just what we are looking for around here: dedicated, smart players who want to come in and make a difference. Tyvon Branch could play corner in this league. That is no easy feat. Everyone is expecting big things from both these players.
May 23rd, 2010 at 11:40 am
I think we should take a wait and see approach.
Desmond Bryant is no more a rising tar than any other UFA that made the roster last year.
This team’s defense is as much a question mark as any position on the field. We have a rookie MLB, a linebacker that was given away for a 3rd round pick, Tommy Kelly and his underwhelming play and a 290lb UFA from Harvard. Still a lot of of question marks going into the season.
AS we see with Chaz Schilens, there are usually very good reasons why certain players are drafted late or not drafted at all…those flaws get exposed for all but a precious few players in that classification

your not suggesting the Oakland Raiders give back the TWO Lombardis they won while they were there…
are you???
May 23rd, 2010 at 11:52 am
SnB…
How many UFA’s come with Bryant’s measurables?..
Usually, UFA’s are players deemed too short, too slow or both to make it in the NFL, in Bryant’s case the drawback was the level of competition he faced coming from the Ivy league … he’s already proved he can play in the NFL … now we have to see how good can he be.
Gotta run, see you fellas later.

You should think outside the box, and I respect that. I’m saying I don’t consider him a vet and gave my reasons, and I think we can get him or Roy without a trade soon.
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Desmond Bryant is a 6′5 290lb Defensive Tacklel What so remarkable about that?
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:05 pm
Hendu,
I’m well sir, and thank you for asking. We passed on PB players at positions of need to get a OG with 2nd pick! We passed on:
Larry Fitz
Philip Rivers
S Taylor
Dunta Robinson
Big Ben
Tommie Harris
Lee Evans
Will Smith
V Wilfork
Steven Jackson
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:06 pm
Jay Ratliff is a PB NT in a 3-4 scheme. He is 6′4 304 pounds!!!
Stop it!!
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:31 pm
What a drought of news lately! Thanks for taking up the slack Jerry. Getting tired of re-reading stuff from last week. Keep up the good work.
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:33 pm
Raider O,
Raider fans over these past 7 years have put a lot of faith in ordinary to outright sub-par players.
Desmond Bryant is an unknown. He was a reserve last year. Maybe he becomes a Marques Colston of his position or maybe just another forgettable player.
To say he’s going to be a significant contributor is a reach at this point.
Let’s just see what happens. Projecting dominance for an undersized DT from the Ivy League is very optimistic
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:36 pm
There really is no news from Oakland until training camp.
The Raiders simply don’t believe in media relations…and all that…
I would hate to have to cover them as a job….very little real news or even interviews
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Jerry…
Thanks for the fix. Hope that your kid’s team is doing well in the tourny.
As far as Poole’s sniveling about not having any access to Hue. Just shut the eff up Monte, you’ll get your chance at camp.
You didn’t get to talk with Marshall ot Tollner last year until camp either..
The last time an asst. Coach came out unexpectedly to the press, was when Robbo was sent out there by Al. To refute young Lance’s claims that Al was messing with the Defense. Don’t expect to see a repeat of something like that anytime soon…
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:43 pm
I agree SnB. We shouldn’t talk about him as if he was a PBer, or think he wiuldnr be a good player because he is from an Ivy school and under 300 pounds.
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:43 pm
Jerry, disagree with you 100% on jacoby ford, and his potential impact. I remember donald royal lit things up his first year…
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:45 pm

Let’s see if he’s the starter out of camp 1st.
May 23rd, 2010 at 12:54 pm
Raider O,AGREE that we passed on some good/great talent when taking Gallery,still like him, seen what he adds to the Raiders.That said,we will Never know if the players mentioned would succeed with the RAIDERS at the time! Crapshoot,if you will!As I said earlier,RAIDERS!!!!!!
May 23rd, 2010 at 1:06 pm

===================
This is perhaps an over simplification but I do agree with parts of it in theory.
Oaklands non existent offensive production is likely part of the reason for Davis’s selection of “glitz” offensive players in recent times.
The introduction of the ZBS produced mixed results. More rushing yards between the 20s, but failed to light up the score board.
The lack of quality blockers could be partly to blame for Davis’s shockingly unproductive high draft picks, but lets hope some new additions are enough to shield Oakland from the injuries and subsequent lack of depth last year and provide better blocking up front.
May 23rd, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Da Raiders need to
(1) trade and get Baffalo’s Marshawn Lynch. Give Buffalo a 3rd rounder in 2012 for him. That should be enough. He’s trouble off the field though and that may mess up locker room chemistry but perhaps he’ll be more at peace in his Oakland, hometown.
(2) Schilens is too fragile to last 16 games even if he could get himself for start of season. Therefore we need a bonafide FA WR. Who? Not TO. His tank is very close to E for empty.
(3) Have Tom Cable take over OL and develop thaw two rookies we drafted. It’s apparent Hue Jackson will take over this team as HC next year so why not use Cable at meantime doing what he’s best at: Coach OL.
(4) need to make Aso tradable by changing his contract to add another year and converting his $15M per year to a lump sum at beginning of next year ala fat Albert’s contract in Washington. Otherwise nobody will trade for him with that salary. And then trade him for a 1st and 2nd.

Russell’s too stupid. Russell’s not accurate.
Get a clue.
Scored a 24 on his Wonderlic. Not a genius, but much smarter than other more successful QB’s.
Had nearly a 69% completion percentage his Junior year.
Basically what Raidermann99 and a few other posters on here don’t get is that they don’t know what the **** they are talking about.
Having said that, Russell’s gone. To quote the late Bernie Mac, “That chile dead to me.”

====================
Lynch is one more arrest away from a year long suspension or worse. I really like his game on the field. Very good back. With a proper clause filled contract. I’m on board with that.
2. Schilens? Agreed. He needs to prove he can stay healthy. T.O.?
No way. If he’s so great why didn’t the desperate Bills keep him?
He’s a cancer.
3.Cable wore too many hats last year and I hope he does get his hands dirty with the O line. They need it and we’ve got some fresh new talent to mold.
Annointing Hue Jackson to head coach before he’s called a single play is a little far fetched.
If Cable sucks and we go sub 500 again, yeah, sadly we’ll likely have to start all over again…
4. Aso is one of Davis’s hybrid trophies. He’s not likely to let Aso go and has shown he’s more than willing to pay for him. Aso is also the corner stone of Davis’s built backward, secondary first defensive scheme.
Outside of Madden 10, a Nnamdi trade is highly unlikely.

Jamarcus Russell is neither stupid nor accurate. What he is, is lazy and unmotivated.
Every year in college he did “just enough” to keep the starters job over other nobodies. He had “impressive” stats because the rest of the team was far superior to 95% of the teams they played.
Nobody is going to carry some lazy, unmotivated team-mate in the NFL. You’ve got to do the work yourself…He won’t and can’t learn how to now.
May 23rd, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Patrick Crayton has better hands than every receiver on our roster with the exception of Schilens. Is he a superstar? Probably not. But he can help the Raiders, whose current #1 receiver is injury prone, and who are currently trying to develop three young receivers (DHB, Murphy, Ford).
John Henderson is a proven veteran who still has a lot left in the tank. He wasn’t the problem on the Jaguars’ defensive line last season. They had just lost Marcus Stroud to free agency, and their pass rush was virtually non-existent. Even if the Raiders only use him as a rotational player, he’s far better than William Joseph, Ryan Boschetti, and Chris Cooper. Plus it would reduce the Raiders’ need to rely on Desmond Bryant, who may very well have tremendous upside, but is still developing.

I’ve given up hope that the Raiders will make a trade for Jared Gaither or Jammal Brown. They’re already without their first round pick next year because of the Seymour trade, so I’m not convinced giving up the second round pick as well is a smart move.

Very logical and sound post. Yes Henderson would be a definite upgrade for us. Jags lost damn near entire defense after 2007 and Henderson had to change to another position which is UT and when they play 3-4 he was 5-tech DE…..just not a good idea at all.

Yeah, and since last year was Mario’s first crack at being the unquestioned starter, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Worst case scenario, he flounders and Veldheer gets some playing time as a rookie. Hell, for all we know, Veldheer could be the next Matt Light.
The Raiders are still at least another season away from being true playoff contenders, but this offseason we took care of a few major holes. It’s clear they’re improving as a team. A couple more key signings on the offensive and defensive lines after this season, perhaps a true #2 cornerback as well, and you’re looking at a team with a whole lot of potential.

I hear ya brother but I think playoffs can happen this year but some extreme things must happen. For one we will need reliable QB play from Campbell. Last year the lack of QB play just killed the entire team. How can you win when a QB isnt even average?
The o-line will have to at least not look so svelte and the new right side will need to be effective opening holes for the run game and also not getting stupid penalties.
The defensive front 7 with all its new beef must be a force vs the run and get adequate pressure on the qb.
I believe the other stuff falls in line if QB and the trench play is up to par as we expect here in the Raider world.
SD is falling off and really were outplayed by us last year if not for a sorry ass QB named Russell.

Yeah, you’re definitely right. The players on the Raiders roster have a lot of potential. If the play in the trenches improves, Campbell can adequately direct Hue Jackson’s offense, and the running game becomes more consistent, we can at the very least be in play for a wild card spot.
How likely any of that is? Who knows. I’m not really into making predictions. But you’re right, we’re not THAT far off.

As far as another receiver, if Schilens is healthy there is no room on the active roster. If we assume that Ford is the KR and either Higgins or Miller the PR, thats five. Doubtful they would activate a sixth on game day.

Well yes bad moves have been made but at least the old guy admits his faults. I commend him on such. We have made some progress as far as how the offeseason has transpired but we arent done. We got an issue at NT and still a questionable Oline….especially C,RG,and RT
May 23rd, 2010 at 5:15 pm
THE WR unit worries people but not me. I believe we have talent there to make plays. Sad thing is they didnt have a QB who worked hard and actually was a student of the game. Jason Campbell is that type of QB. Zach Miller being a reliable target will open more options for the offense. We got that speed and size to take full advantage of that…..I just see Louis Murphy being our best WR again
May 23rd, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Godliness,
My speculation is based on the fact that Cable has never thought much of Henderson and the fact that they drafted Veldheer ahead of Campbell. I think Henderson would be okay as the back-up swing tackle, with Campbell eventually being the RT. Cable loves Carlisle and starting two rookies on the OL would be a risk.

Yeah we saw starting two rookies last year(DHB and Murphy) had its issues. I dont think Veldheer starts unless someone gets injured. Cable doesnt think much of Hendu maybe but Al does and his word reigns over all. Carlisle just sux, how come Cable cant see this? I was first one onthis blog in 2008 before the season telling everyone Kwame Harris would stink it up. Cable has this same lovefest for Cooper and it isnt justified

You know Twocents…outside of Jason Campbell news knowing that the Raiders plan to blitz/attack offenses this season has me very excited for this season.
Wimbley and Scott/Howard will have some shots at the QB as well as watching some DBs get in on the action. This is a must for we cant have that same predictable defense anymore

LT — Consequences of the Masturbation Defense
Comment May 23 TMZ.com “If Lawrence Taylor manages to convince a jury that he merely self-pleasured himself in front of a 16-year-old girl — he could still wind up as a registered sex offender. Here’s the rub — aside from the statutory rape charge, LT is accused of patronizing an underage prostitute. If the jury buys LT’s expected argument — that he masturbated in front of the girl but did not have sex with her — he would qualify as a sex offender … and could be forced to register as one. LT’s defense team is clearly aware of the situation — and sources close to the case tell us his lawyers will do “everything possible to keep LT off the sex offender registry.”"

May 23rd, 2010 at 5:53 pm
I am starting to think we really need to switch to the 3-4 defense. Mike Mitchell was drafted in the second round, it would be a waste of money and talent if he is not in the field more often. The guy is a beast tackler and can get to the QB faster then any LB we have, we need to use him more often in the ways Steelers use Polamalu, the only way we could do that is if we package him in the 3-4 blitz package. Put the fat ass TK as Nose Tackle if he can’t do it, try the undrafted guy Heard, if he cant get someone from the road or trade for one I dont care. But Seymour TK Houston are good enough to play the 3-4 and Wimbley, Scott, Howard and McClain would be better utilized in this scheme. We would have solid depth in both DL and LB crew. Along with MM who will destroy ball carriers and QBs. Make it happen Marshall.

Out, nite Raiders
May 23rd, 2010 at 6:07 pm

I agree anything is better then a boring 4-3 man to man defense, there is a need to utilize our players strength and talent. Clearly our defense will get exposed in pass situation unless we go after the QB, if AL doesnt like blitzing, he will have to get used to it cause our team is no longer filled with pass coverage LB as it used to be. Wimbley, Scott, Groves clearly lack the skills needed to cover and I believe they will be substituted by Howard and MM.

May 23rd, 2010 at 8:11 pm
I see a few posters here disagree with my statement that Russell is too stupid and too inaccurate to ever be anything more than a marginal NFL QB.
They cite his Wonderlic score of 24 and his college completion % as evidence to the contrary.
These are valid points.
Based on his Wonderlic score and his completion percentage at LSU, it does seem unfair to call Russell stupid and inaccurate.
BUT…
I’ve watched Russell play for the last 2 years, and I can honestly say he’s among the most inaccurate QBs I’ve ever seen at the NFL level.
His passes were constantly off target. Too short, too long, wide right, wide left, too far ahead of or behind the intended receiver. And not just on intermediate and deep routes – he couldn’t even complete dump offs or screen passes.
In fact, besides his Monday night bomb to Murphy on 4th down against SD last year, I can’t remember too many deep throws that Russell threw accurately during his stint with the Raids. I’m sure there had to be some others, but I honestly can’t remember them.
On the other hand, one could easily assemble an hour long tape of his incredibly bad and off target throws.
It should be noted that these terrible throws didn’t only come on Sundays. If reporters like Jerry can be believed, Raider practices were notorious for the amount of footballs hitting the turf during passing drills.
Russell not only couldn’t get it done on game day, he couldn’t even give hope of making something happen during practice.
So, are you going to believe what you’ve seen on the field for the last 2+ years or are you going to believe that Russell is accurate based on his LSU stats ?
As far as Russell’s intelligence goes, anyone that’s ever listened to an interview with JaMarcus or read a verbatim transcript of one, has to come to the conclusion that the man is mentally challeged.
It’s not the laid back southern drawl that makes him sound dumb. It’s the scatter brained, incoherent content of what he’s attempting to communicate that does so. He’s literally incomprehensible. I can only imagine what Raider huddles were like when he attempted to call a play. Imagine Russell trying to audible or run a no huddle offense. Sheesh!
Even if he’s not an idiot, he certainly comes off as one.
24 on the Wonderlic ? OK. How did that translate to learning the playbook, seeing the field, or being coachable. Not too well.
Sorry guys, nothing I’ve seen or heard from JaMarcus convinces me that Russell possesses the accuracy or intelligence needed to succeed in the NFL.
Anyway, I think we’re all in agreement that it’s for the best that he’s gone now and look forward to improvement at the QB position and increased point production.

Michael Bush isn’t going anywhere
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on May 23, 2010 6:38 PM ET
Teams will probably continue to call the Raiders about the availability of running back Michael Bush, according to Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune.
But for the first time in his Raiders career, it’s clear that Bush is staying put. “There’s no chance” Bush will be dealt, as Al Davis would insist on first-round compensation in return.
Tom Cable talked about opening up the running back position to competition early in the offseason, and he’s stayed true to his word. Bush has received first team reps alongside Darren McFadden, and seems to have a good chance to start.
The Raiders situation is reminiscent of the Saints backfield. McFadden is Reggie Bush, the overhyped top-five pick that is a quality role player and factor in the passing game.
Michael Bush is more like Pierre Thomas, the less costly back that is more trustworthy and ultimately more valuable.

PHOENIX (AP) Amare Stoudemire had been criticized for just about everything: his defense, his rebounding, even his desire.
The Phoenix forward listened calmly all week, then responded with a monster game. Stoudemire attacked the Los Angeles Lakers relentlessly, matching his career playoff high with 42 points and grabbing 11 rebounds to power the Suns to a 118-109 victory Sunday night. The win sliced the Lakers’ lead in the Western Conference finals to 2-1.
All that talk about a Lakers-Boston final has been put on hold. The Suns can pull even in the series with a victory at home in Game 4 on Tuesday night.

whoa there Jerry! let’s not get carried away
it’s obvious the Raiders want guys 270-310 on the D-Line (no more 250 tweeners or 350 fat slobs) but to say that Sands was dismissed for weight or conditioning issues? pure horse crap. Sands was 6′8″ 355 pounds, but his problems were technique and motivation. plenty of motivated fat guys around the league who use proper technique! we all gave him a pass due to the loss of his mother, but the guy never could be consistant. dominant 1 game and absolutely horrible for the next 5 or 6 games. if Sands would have produced on the football field, he’d still be here. PERIOD. wouldn’t matter if he weighed 370 lbs and punched 5 teammates …

the Raiders can speculate they’ve fundamentally improved (specifically with the pick of Rolando McClain) but have no hard evidence they can dominate the two areas which marked the great teams of the franchise’s distant pass _ blocking and tackling.

no hard evidence = no nose tackle.
McClain will tote the company line just like Morrison did after Chris Johnson runs for 175 yards, catches for another 75 yards amd scores 3 TD’s on Week 1 …

I blamed our run D woes to Stu, then to Turdell Sands, next was Rob friggin Ryan, last year apparently it was the LBs faults….its not the system im telling ya.
May 24th, 2010 at 8:06 am
The notion that we haven’t addressed the players who sucked against the run because we haven’t signed a “NT” is hard to understand.
We replaced FIVE of the seven starters up front. What is that, upgrading the pass defense?
May 24th, 2010 at 8:08 am
Sorry rockstar, I can’t count all those losses.
May 24th, 2010 at 8:09 am
Jhill: obviously the staff isn’t sold on ShoNasty or we wouldn’t have drafted Houston & tagged Seymour!
those are your starting DE’s
ShoNasty & Richardson will come off the bench. along with Joseph & Cooper/Boschetti
if Cable thinks that both Kelly & Bryant are capable of playing NT, he thinks they are solid run defenders

I’d call it upgrading the pass rush…we will still be in the bottom third in run D if we start two UTs at DT again.

Huh ???
Cable already said that ShoNasty was starting RDE with Seymour starting as the base. Wimbley is the starting SLB next to Seymour.

Plus, over his career, Marshall generally has bad run defenses…Marshall had one great season in SF, but the rest of his career is mediocre at best…I don’t expect anything else from a Marshall D than mediocrity.
May 24th, 2010 at 8:16 am
Al Davis has been frugal the past 2 offseasons, not going after any big names in free agency this year or last.
why would he put the DE tag on Seymour and pay him an extra $6 million if he was going to play DT for us?
makes no sense …
DE tag = 13 mil
DT tag = 7 mil
May 24th, 2010 at 8:16 am
We are NOT starting a rookie 2nd rd pick at base DE. He will be in the rotation a lot though as Seymour is going to get AT LEAST half his snaps at DT.
May 24th, 2010 at 8:17 am
The only way our defense improves this season is if our offense can score some points and make the opposition try and pass the ball against us…and then I am afraid you guys will be shocked that our “great” pass defense isn’t all that great after all.
May 24th, 2010 at 8:17 am
Does the Trevor Scott experiment remind anybody of the Tyler Brayton to LB catastrophe? Have any of these change position experiments ever worked? Other than Lester Hayes and Ethan Horton? Play Howard at LB, and let Scott play on passing downs…

Why are you insisting on making this complicated?
Our Oline coach is Mike Wauffle. What has the make up of his DLines looked like in the past? The Giants didn’t have any stout NTs manning their lines and they did just fine. Guys are going to be moving all over the place. I doubt that you are going to be seeing the same “traditional” looks that we’ve seen in years past. If you remember how the defense was playing the 2nd half of the season working in Mike Michell, blitzing, and the likes, we had all type of fronts going on.
Seymour is getting paid top DL money because he’s, well, a consensus top DL guy. He’ll play FOUR positions for us.
May 24th, 2010 at 8:27 am

I’m going to assume you’ve never heard of Fred Robbins or Linval Joseph …
the Giants use NT’s like every other 4-3 defense. just because you’ve never heard of them doesn’t mean they don’t exist. NT is not a glamourous position to play. most of them aren’t sack artists
May 24th, 2010 at 8:34 am
Al = Nero
Nero murdered his mother and wife. He confiscated senators’ property and severely taxed the people to build his own golden home. Al stole the Raiders causing Valley to die prematurely and then stole from the Raider fans using PSLs to build his empire.
Nero played his lyre while Rome burned or was involved behind the scenes in some other way, he put the blame on the Christians and had many killed. Al played with himself while the Raiders fell apart and he blamed all the coaches…he even tanked a season to justify firing Kiffin.
May 24th, 2010 at 8:36 am

Al = moving in the direction of Caligula
Caligula revived the treason trials of his predecessor, Tiberius, (Al fires people “for cause”) opened a brothel in the palace, r@ped whomever he wished, reported on the woman’s performance to her husband, committed incest, killed for greed (Wayne Valley), and thought he should be treated as a god (Oh yeah, Al is there already).
Al is getting close to Caligula…few more years and I would not be surprised to see brothels and incest at Raiders HQ…

No way, Vespasian was the father of Titus Flavius Domitianus. He was paranoid about conspiracies. He developed new tortures and harassed philosophers and Jews. He had vestal v1rgins executed or buried alive on charges of immorality. After he impregnated his niece, he insisted she have an ab0rtion and then, when she died as a result, he deified her. He executed officials who opposed his policies and confiscated their property.
I hope Mark Davis doesn’t turn out like that!

False. I’m sure Dakota has been less than pleased with not only the play calling, O-line and QB play but DMC himself in his first 2 years. injury prone with ball security issues. not to say he can’t turn it around

No true American adult even knows that we have a soccer team…only small children and recent Euro arrivals with work visas care about soccer in the US.

how do you compare a 2x Pro Bowl 3-4 NT to an undrafted kid from Harvard that had 2 tackles for a loss in his rookie season? …on the defense that finished 29th against the run of all things! in a 4-3 defense.
Kelly & Bryant have shown nothing. and Seymour didn’t improve the run defense or pass rush last year.
for these reasons I hope we bring in a starter quality nose tackle or Kellen Heard somehow shocks the world and starts tearing up the league

RAIDER NATION !!! GOOD MORNING
I’ve read the blog posts and comments since i’ve been back from vacation and it’s great to see some positive, optimisim from the comments in here, with the release of Jamarcus Russell.
I can see by the comments today, the football information has dropped off due to the, empty parts of any solid information for the rest of May and until July seems to dart into many other areas.
So with that, I just wanted to comment and say “Hello” to those who I know can’t wait for some Real Raider football to start, in a few more months.
To my Raider brothers “keep the faith” and let’s collective pray for a better upcoming season.
Dakota, hope the baby is good as well as mom.
Raider O and Bri@n, you both are favorites of mine as internet professionals, who I look forward to reading your comments. You both have very similar qualities, love the Nation, smart, outgoing, have stated strong opinions, and don’t back down from any subject. To see you two argue is not fun, you are so alike, yet you can’t see that, and demonstrate why I share my strong opinion to both of you to see each other and stop that “madness”.
I know, I can’t force you to to stop, but as the older retread, I would encourage you both to put down your razor sharp comments towards each other.
I will drop in as much as I can, take care all.
May 24th, 2010 at 10:13 am
June 1st cuts? Is there such a thing anymore? I don’t think it means much anymore…last few years teams had lots of cap room and this year no cap = no major June 1 cuts…

The Supreme Court disagreed in American Needle v. the NFL and ruled the owners can sometimes be sued if they conspire among themselves to restrict competition. “Each of the (32) teams is a substantial, independently owned, and independently managed business,” wrote Justice John Paul Stevens. “Decisions by NFL teams to license their separately owned trademarks collectively and to only one vendor are decisions that the deprive the marketplace of…actual or potential competition,” he said.

Report: Dolphins were contacted about a Crayton trade
Posted by Michael David Smith on May 24, 2010 12:09 PM ET
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Patrick Crayton is probably going to end up getting cut before the start of the regular season. But before that, the Cowboys would like to at least explore the possibility of getting something for Crayton.
According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins have been explored as a potential destination for Crayton.
Per Jackson, the Dolphins were contacted about a Crayton trade. However, the contact apparently didn’t go beyond gauging the Dolphins’ interest.
It seems unlikely that the Dolphins would trade for Crayton, and for that matter, given the $2 million he’s slated to earn in 2010, it seems unlikely that the Cowboys would be able to trade him at all. Or to justify keeping him.

Kris Jenkins on Rex Ryan: “His body fat percentage says pudding”
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on May 22, 2010 10:22 PM ET
Jets defensive tackle Kris Jenkins’ interview with NFL Network’s Rich Eisen is technically four days old, but it’s new to me. (Plus it’s Saturday night, I ran a half marathon this morning, and I’m too tired to look for something new.)
The four-time Pro Bowler says his weight loss competition versus Damien Woody and Rex Ryan is unfair. After the group weighed in, Jenkins knew he had the most muscle in the group.
“I know with Rex, his body fat percentage said pudding,” Jenkins said. “I’m really with some guys right now, that are a lot of mush.”
Despite that, Jenkins says his experience losing weight will pay off, and he’ll drop 50 pounds and win the competition.
“I think I have the work ethic on this one,” Jenkins said.
But he theorizes that his job will be tougher because his chubby friends have more fat to lose.
“Damien Woody can tell you,” Jenkins said. “Half of his body composition is Maryland crabs.”

AFC West mailbag By Bill Williamson
Weekend mail call:
Mike from Livermore, Calif., wants to know if I was running the Raiders would I trade Richard Seymour for Albert Haynesworth of Washington.
Bill Williamson: It’s a very interesting question, Mike. Both are fine players. Haynesworth may end up being available because he is not comfortable with Washington moving from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense. Seymour, acquired from New England last September for a first-round pick next year, will be a free agent after 2010. Seymour is a natural fit for the 3-4 defense. Oakland is trying to give him a long-term deal. Seymour will turn 31 during the season and Haynesworth will turn 29 next month. Haynesworth can certainly help Oakland. He’d help turn around the Raiders’ run defense along with rookies Rolando McClain and Lamarr Houston. But Seymour is a key for Oakland. The Raiders really value him. In the end, I’m not sure Oakland would bother to explore this trade because it likes Seymour. I can’t blame the Raiders. Haynesworth is a fine player, but so is Seymour. I’d stick with him.

Raider O
The Pat’s didn’t have great WR’s but they were established ours are largely unknowns. That does not mean they WONT produce, it means we don’t know if they will or wont. That at least is of serious concern. The only guy I feel confident in is Murphy. In order to run consistently you at least need the threat of the pass.
I o think we have the threat an maybe even a real threat if DHB can deliver to some degree. His speed is a real threat if he can make some plays it changes the dynamics of the entire offense. You cannot defend that kind of speed and effectively stop the run. The key is not so much a great passing game but an explosive one. That’s how the Pat’s did it.

Seymour? used to post as Oakglen, Maddenraiderisadouche, CaptainBlack..is now also posting as Debo and considering all of the new names popping up, some no doubt are his as well.

Bowe’s story has Chiefs in lockdown
ESPN.com news services
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe caused an off-the-field distraction by describing how his teammates arranged to have women meet them at a hotel during his rookie season.
Now, everyone is in lockdown mode.
“
The Chiefs were mum on Bowe’s lurid story on Monday, with coach Todd Haley calling it an “internal matter” and players throughout the locker room repeating “no comment” at every turn.
Bowe caused a stir last week when he told ESPN the Magazine about a 2007 road trip to San Diego when teammates “imported” women they found on social networking sites.
“You hear stories about groupies hanging out in hotel lobbies, but some of my teammates had it set up so there was a girl in every room. The older guys get on MySpace and Facebook a week before we go to a city; when a pretty one writes back, they arrange to fly her in three or four days in advance,” Bowe told ESPN the Magazine.
“They call it importing. Younger guys don’t have the money to do it. Anyway, these girls had the whole top floor. They know everything about us — first and last names, sisters and brothers, salary. This one girl was talking to me like she’d known me for years. ‘Hey, D-Bowe, how’s Grandma?’ I’m like, ‘How do you know my grandma?’ She knew that I talk about her every time I’m interviewed for a story. I told her I had a girlfriend, but she didn’t care. She was wearing my jersey, sitting in my lap, making it look like we knew each other. Then she took a picture and put it on Facebook. That almost got me in trouble,” he told ESPN the Magazine.
Bowe’s career has been plagued by dropped passes and last year he was suspended four games for violating the NFL’s drug policy.

The non-profit Friends of Oakland Parks and Recreation organization will receive a $200,000 NFL Grassroots Program grant, facilitated by the Raiders. It will be used to install a synthetic turf field and drainage system at Sobrante Park, a multi-purpose field located in East Oakland, designed to serve more than 14,000 young people in the area.
“The kindness of the Raiders to recognize an area that sorely needs their support will, in no small amount, have a tremendous impact on the lives of these kids,” President Pro Tem of the Oakland City Council Larry Reid said.
Matching funds will be provided by the City of Oakland and Oakland Unified School District.

dumping Nick Miller & Marcel Reece would net a savings of at least 800k. I would like this amount donated to the Friends of Oakland Parks and Recreation organization as well. that is my charity/sacrifice.

Q# 3 for Kirk: Kirk, how did it feel to be the Mike in a defense that was always in the bottom 1/3 of the NFL in run defense?
May 24th, 2010 at 1:18 pm
My question #2 for Kirk :
playing behind guys like Sands, Warren, Kelly, Bryant & Joseph … isn’t that setting your MLB up for failure? Right now Oakland is asking McClain to fix the run defense behind 2 undrafted players. is that fair?

Tony Romo was undrafted, it didn’t stop him. He’s not the only starting QB in the NFL that was undrafted. Your draft status gets you a particular contract it doesn’t mean a damn thing other than that.
1st rnd picks end up bust and UDFA can go to the HOF like John Randall. Draft status means nothing.

Softball Q: Welcome to the Jags Kirk! Glad to see we now have one of the most dominant tacklers in the NFL on our squad! Do you think we can have a great run defense this year?

The Jamarcus question was interesting, and the part of the question that was not answered whether he would want Jamarcus on the jags was never answered.

Something tells me if we cut Russell today Indy, New England or Denver would pick him up, let him sit for two years, watch him mature and then he would win 10+games a year for the next ten years.
================================
Still LMFAO on the above..
I’ll bet they are just clamoring for their time with JR, right SeyOakdork?

Why are there Jags fans in Canada?

Dakota,
Possible many familys leave canada for warmer weather, aka Snow Birds.

Oh stop with the idiot takes, SeyOakglenn…I’ve never mentioned Docket…EVER..but you can’t get him out of your mind. I’ve never posted about him, ever, but you can’t seem to stop..
In other words, you’re really speaking from experience, aren’t you?
Maybe THAT EXPLAINS THE FOLLOWING..FROM YOU..I would REALLY like to see an explanation for the following, from Seymour..I’m sure others would as well.

I am still not giving up on Russell.
I have his poster over my bed, and everynight when I fall asleep, I abuse my self just thinking about his milky thighs.
Oh darn, getting wet again.

Honestly, was their ANYTHING MORE PATHETIC ON THIS BOARD where Oakglen said ‘I just can’t take it here anymore. I’m out of here”????
===========================================
Actually there is a lot more pathetic than that: namely number one, ANYTHING you post, number two, your 40,000 word diatribes that say nothing, that NO ONE other than you reads, and three your constant back and forth glossing of the other most ignorant poster on the board, mistabrOwn.

Next to Europeans Canadians are the dumbest countrymen (as to why there are Jag fans in Canada)

Right now, you take Kobe. But in the future, you take LeBron.
