A few points on Russell
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, May 27th, 2010 at 6:20 pm in Oakland Raiders.
While Steve Corkran works on the nuts and bolts of the grievance process by the Raiders against quarterback JaMarcus Russell, a few quick observations:
– Now we know why Russell was invited to the mandatory minicamp. The Raiders were hoping he wouldn’t show, because they were contemplating making a move to recover money for some time.
– Turn back the clock to Russell’s contract impasse and Al Davis stating his issues with the process. Davis said the problem was “forfeiture” in the event things went south.
You wonder if Davis was having buyer’s remorse not long after making the selection.
– While I’m of the opinion the Raiders did their part to ensure Russell’s failure because of the Davis-Lane Kiffin feud and the general environment provided a risky talent, they should be applauded for trying to recover as much money as they can. Yahoo Sports reports they want $9.55 million back.
No matter how bad the situation was in Oakland, Russell’s lack of dedication to his craft was inexcusable. If the Raiders discovered a way to add a loophole to the contract during renegotiation which will allow them to recover money, good for them.
– This shouldn’t hurt the Raiders where signing players in the future is concerned. They’ve taken their lumps with poor signings in the past and paid out the money. Russell was simply an extreme case and I’m guessing his former teammates are OK with it.
– The way Russell goes through money, judging from his jewelry, jaunts to Las Vegas and generally lavish spending habits, you wonder if he’ll have $.9.55 million to return to the Raiders if he loses the grievance.
The Raiders are confirming only that the grievance exists and nothing else, releasing a statement from attorney Jeff Birren.
“We have filed a grievance against JaMarcus Russell and that’s all we’re going to say at this time,” Birren said.

Lakers better wake up.

They won’t Buckeyeraider, Suns in Six. Print it!!
May 27th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
I hope the Raiders recover that money but who cares?!!! It aint my money. Main thing we need is to clearly upgrade the RG and C position. Carlisle and Satele are the weakest links in this whole offense. I dont mind adding T.O, Mawae and Chester Pitts for the money we might recover, but if DHB is progressing, I think we have a solid unit, DHB, Murphy, Schillens, JLH, and Ford is a nice core, maybe we will also keep Nick the DB Killer if he shines during the training camp (I think he will get cut).
May 27th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
I wish we would just cut our ties with JaBlubber completely. All this so-called grievance does is just prolong our relationship with this fat piece of lard.
May 27th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
Don’t think so Doc. I don’t follow the NBA like I did when I was younger. The reg. season is almost irrelevant. Most Laker games start past my bedtime at 10:15 p.m. et. I do like playoff basketball.
I’ve been a Laker fan since back in the day. Magic no look passes. Big Game James. Coop with those damn socks pulled up to his knees. Byron Scott knocking down 3’s. Rambis diving after every loose ball/rebound. And Kareem with that unstoppable sky hook. I loved showtime.
Even stuck with them through some lean Mychel Thompson/Vlade Divac/Eddie Jones years. I’m no bandwagon jumper.
May 27th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Sue him for storage too. We had to house his lazy fat ass for three years. No telling how badly he affected the worth of the teams FMV (Fair Market Value). It’s all about that one large crappy poorly maintained house in the neighborhood that brings the property value of all the surrounding homes down. JaFatso should be the poster boy for the cellar. He brings everything around him down to his level. And, that be he cellar.
May 27th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
Just think how much food he also ate from the Raiders cafeteria. Or when they were on road trips. They probably had to increase the food amount and menu by at least an additional 3 people just to suffice for the amount JaBlubber gobbled up.
May 27th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
They are suing Russell for impersonating a QB in the NFL.
May 27th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
No they are filing a grievance against JaBlubber for impersonating and impersonation of an impersonated QB in the NFL.

Or, did you mean to say that you like to get T-bagged RaiderRonny?
May 27th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
I don’t care what the haters say. I think this is the second part to a two part dismissal. Jruss can’t act that way and expect to have no consequences.
May 27th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
I bet too some players right now are stoked that he is paying his dues. Did you see the Mario Henderson quote about having the qb be where he is supposed to be? I remember Jruss getting sacked in teh redskin game last year and Henderson jumping up and down yelling at Jruss after the sack.
May 27th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Agreed Raider Guy. Also you would think there would be quite a few haters, such as Shannarat and a few others that would like to stick it to Al and the Raiders by quickly signing JaBlubber. NOBODY had signed this clown at this point, not even to stick it to Al. Personally I think that is a sign that this guy is a fat loser.
May 27th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
I remember last year when there was that joint practice with the 49ers and the Raiders got killed on offense…remember that? And then the killing we were subjected to against the saints in preseason. I knew we were in trouble and that jruss wasn’t gonna be able to do it. I am so excited to see a difference this year. Same coach, different attitude it seems.

you Oil supporters are Stupid to the Last Drop…cheap oil is a thing of the past and the only oil left is risky and expensive to go after.
Secondly, most of that oil is expensive in terms of water to extract it with, which the US is also in short supply of.
You need a new game plan…..immediately.

Anyone watching the Laker’s game? Did you notice the young guy sitting next to Jack Nicholson wearing the Raider’s hat with the logo upside down?

Can’t remember who it was, but somebody was on The Tonight Show along time ago and was talking about being at a hollywood party with Jack Nicholson. Some aspiring starlet approached and said: “It’s such an honor to meet you Mr. Nicholson. Would you like to dance?” The dude said Jack looked at her over the top of his sun glasses and with a sly grin replied: “Wrong verb”.

Jamarcus first mistake was drafting himself 1st overall. his second and third mistakes were drafting Mcfalling and James Jett, err DHB…sue him for all of it! yeeeeeeeah!
May 27th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
Russell can just give the money directly to Kiffin.
May 27th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
Jamarcus is also to blame for hiring the world’s stealthiest con-man (lance kiffin), starting Kawame & cornell green, signing Meangelo, Gibril, and Jayvon, building a D line around turdell & kelly….oh, and calling Janikowskis fake fieldgoal vs KC…
May 27th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Jamarcus might also be responsible for the oil spill. the inc. (al davis inc.) is working on the case…wooooooooooh yeaaaaah!

May 27th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Russell is getting horrible advise, but he has no one to blame but himself. Th kid is being used by the people he loves the most. They’re enablers. It’s really sad to be honest.
This Jason Campbell is really growing on me, what a relief to have a young QB with his attitude and talent. The entire attitude of the team is much better. And I don’t have to watch Gradkowski all year.
Can’t wait to see camp.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
TJ, you astound me. I am speechless and will not say anything, though I really should.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
good
May 27th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
tj, didnt you dump on Campbell a couple weeks ago?.
I figured you were advising Black Moses you are about that sharp.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
making up lies again lil sista….
May 27th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
tj you didnt say Campbell was an avg Qb that Washington didnt even want around no more?
Are you really calling me a liar? Pot calling the kettle black (moses)
May 27th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
tj you didn’t promise all Russell was the REAL deal while calling us knowledgeable football fans racists, idiots, and fools?
That wasn’t you either right, tj ?
May 27th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
TJ,
You owed it to everyone on here to admit you were flat out wrong for bashing all of us about Jawalrus. Be a man dude and do us all a favor then we will take you seriously again.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
tj I must apologize.
Seems like I have you mixed up with some deranged lunatic that calls talk radio and posts nonsense here in Jerrys blog..
Sorry tj
May 27th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
I have to reiterate that I will refrain from commenting on the situation… mostly because it’s just too easy and there are FAR too many to choose where to start.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
I haven’t changed my opinion of some of you. I’ve said a million times Russell was very immature and was way too much of a partier. I think that was his undoing.
I’ve said and still say that Campbll hasn’t won and untill he provs he can win…….th jury is out. But I love the team reaction to him. Same as I did with Gradkowski, the big difference is this guy is a legitimate starter. Gradkowski is just a backup. In fact personally I’d prefer to see Boller than Grads.
I’m just listning to what th playrs are saying about Campbell and I can’t wait to see for myself.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
I hope Davis gets every penny back from JaLitigant.
If not he’ll at least tie him up in court for $9 million in court fees.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
tj its no surprise you are jumping on the JC bandwagon after riding Black Moses’s ballsack until the bitter end.
I wouldn’t expect anything less from a guy of your caliber.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
man F russell jerry how dare you put this BS up their lets here more about actual Raiders
May 27th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
I’ve already admitted being wrong and wont do it again. These idiots hav it in thir minds that I owe them some apology. Which will NEVER happen…..period
Admitting being wrong is no big deal I’m often wrong. But this idea I ow thm something, they can stick it as far as it will go.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
Nites bishes!
May 27th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
tj just know you can spin this anyway you want to but you are a fraud and almost every person in here is aware of it. Sure there are a couple derelicts that will take you seriously and they probably believe in hope & change too.
Hi Nnamdi
May 27th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
They might as well just give the money to Kiffin. Russell owes the Raiders, the Raiders owe Kiffin.

May 27th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
I gave up on Russell prior to his release because he refused to renegotiate his contract. He listened to his family and agent who have misguided him from day 1.
I posted in here that it was time for the Raiders to move on. That was before the minicamp. He then had the best showing of all but refused to humble himself and win the job on the field.
Mr Davis stood behind against all odds and he couldn’t see past his greed to return the favor. He was way to much to continue with his lack of understanding his own situation. The team needed relief from all the negative press as well as cap relief until he was either gone or re-established as an asset. He was blind to it all and vry selfish IMO.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
tj, you are a fraud, hypocrite, and a liar. We gave up on you a prior to Russells release.

Sue the sh1t out of that lazy fat bastard, Al! Go get him! That POS probably doesn’t even have it to pay back so I’m really hoping Davis wins.
Fkn douchebag POS, sitting on his fat country azz while collecting paychecks.
May 27th, 2010 at 11:32 pm
No matter how bad the situation was in Oakland, Russell’s lack of dedication to his craft was inexcusable.
================================================
You bet it was inexcusable. That chicken & waffle eating fker robbed this team of 39 mill. Get all you can back, Al
May 27th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
Go back to Alabama you dumazz, where the state slogan is “Yes, we have electricity”
May 27th, 2010 at 11:37 pm
Did you know there’s a law in Alabama which states boogers may not be flicked into the wind?
…..no wonder Russell is such a dumsh1t.
May 27th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
Oh, and It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church.
May 27th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
Priest – are you from Alabama?
May 27th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
The Raiders were 2-14 before Russell arrived here. 4-12 the year before that. 5-11 the year before that. 4-12 the year before that. I’m so glad those pre-Russell days are back!
May 27th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time.
Well fkn A! Good thing there’s a law for that!
Russell – you should be Alabama’s official mascot.
May 27th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
A guy goes into a bar and asks the bartender if he wants to hear a good Alabama joke.
The bartender says, “Before you tell it, you should know that I am 6-2 and weigh 225 and I’m from Alabama. See that guy at the end of the bar? He’s 6-4 and weighs 250 and he’s from Alabama, too. And see the guy at the other end of the bar? He’s 6-6 and weighs 280 and he’s from Alabama,too! Now, do you still want to tell your Alabama joke?”
The guy says, “Nah.”
To which the bartender smiles and says, “What’s the matter? Are ya chicken?”
The guy says, “Nah. I just don’t want to have to explain it three times.”

I love this! Russell didn’t earn a SINGLE DIME while he was with the Raiders and he gave us three years of-I can’t be bothered.
Hell! The Raides should have fired him for cause. He was signed to a contract where he was expected to work at his craft not sit around eating doughnuts and buying stupid pink fur coats.
This money isn’t ours?!
The hell it fukin isn’t!!
The money Russell stole came from the tickets bought by the Raider Nation and from money earned by the efforts of other players and coaches.

JaMarcus is just getting more and more lame.
The guy is a fool and a scumbag. He could have re-worked his contract and stayed on the team and fought to get his game on track, but demanded to be paid like an MVP.
Just proves that he only thinks of money. If Al offered him 1 million to stay he should have taken it. I hope the fat boy has to pay Al 9 mil. back. That would be amazingly cool because he would have to sell off his assets to pay back the money he STOLE from Raider Nation.

The strategy is simple from a business perspective-they know they won’t get the 9.5 mill from Russell but they also won’t shell out the last 3 million this year based on the greivance.

LMN you seen that we have ESPN in DK now? Hit up You See and get it.
________________________________________________________
yup, ESPN America, but too much baseball and lacrosse, i dont care for those things, and i bet itwill be gone again before any great sports starts up again..
I just bought a great new TV, 100Hz, 37″ sony… I love it =)
May 28th, 2010 at 4:33 am
LMN..but you can subscribe to ESPN full time once the trial period runs out…if you have the You See box.
Of course there’s too much Baseball and Lacrosse right now, it’s not football season yet ha ha.
Once football season starts you’ll be happy
By the way Lacrosse is an great sport…I played in college. Actually more fun that football.

Drain JaMarcus’ financial and emotional resources by putting him through a legal maze that will leave him more dumbfounded and “lethargic” that he already is, forcing him to plummet into a deep suicidal death spiral !

I’d let him walk, too, as long as he left behind that 9-plus million that he didn’t earn. I don’t think we’d be reading about a grievance if JaMarcus worked at it and still sucked, but the clown didn’t even try; he took the money and ran.
I don’t blame Al one bit, and I’d probably think less of him if he did just let that fatass walk away.

Tyvon Branch is starting to get noticed …
Pete Prisco from cbs.com sportsline:
“You guessed it. It’s time again for my annual list of the NFL’s overrated and underrated players.
The league’s most underrated player is Oakland Raiders safety Tyvon Branch. Haven’t seen him? Many haven’t. But he’s the real thing.
Branch had 124 tackles last season in his second year, his first as a starter. That was more than any other safety. He finished 10th in the league in tackles. He didn’t have an interception, but he did have eight passes defensed and had eight tackles behind the line, a sack and two forced fumbles.
Branch recently turned 23, so he has a lot of good years in front of him. I like finding young safeties with Pro Bowl potential. When I first started this, Arizona’s Adrian Wilson was one of my underrated guys. He has been a Pro Bowl player the past couple of seasons.”
- Remember the outrage here when we actually traded up a couple of spots to draft him at the top of the 4th round in 08? … I had to look him up, I didn’t even know who he was.
May 28th, 2010 at 6:12 am
Heard that Jamarcus has a few standing offers from teams to be invited to camp once he hits some desired weight.
If I were those teams, I wouldn’t wait by the phone.

What are you complaining about these days uh?…lol
May 28th, 2010 at 6:39 am
You know the lawyers all love waiting to hear from Mr.Davis!
May 28th, 2010 at 6:39 am
Sorry to get back to you so late, Hwnrdr. The server for this blog sucks to high heaven.
It’s my understanding that the Raiders are trying to get back the 9.55 that they say was an advance on the remaining three years of the contract, essentially because Russell won’t be on the team for those three years. His agent is saying that money is guaranteed, the Raiders are saying it isn’t.
As I mentioned before, if Al felt like Russell tried to make it and just sucked and couldn’t, I don’t think we’d be reading about this. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that Al looked into getting back even more than that but was talked out of it by his attorneys; he’s probably been preparing for this and gathering evedence for the past two years.
May 28th, 2010 at 6:40 am
Evidence, sorry.
May 28th, 2010 at 6:42 am
I guess that makes sense now. An advancement? Maybe his agent told him to do that thinking/knowing that it was guaranteed!
May 28th, 2010 at 6:44 am
And you’re right…this server does suck!!! I had to close out and wait awhile before being able to open it again!

Hey Bob…thanks for the article on Branch!

I am not too confident yet, Bo…
They made a lot of mistakes and also let them come back from friggen 18 points on their court! But Artest…made only one shot the whole entire night. How fitting is that he got the winning shot as time expired? If that is not a dagger…I don’t know what is!

Tyvon Branch is starting to get noticed …
He finished 10th in the league in tackles.
——————————————–
I thought Morrison led the team in tackles. DOes that mean we had 2 players in the top 10 in tackles in the league?
That really means that opposing offenses just run so many more plays that Raiders defenders had more chances to tackle.

May 28th, 2010 at 7:56 am
Good to hear Branch getting some recognition.
I remember driving home after the Bengals game and listening to ESPN radio, and some national guy was talking him up as a future pro-bowler.
Branch had a monster game against Cincy last year.
May 28th, 2010 at 8:00 am
I don’t know…if the two conference finals goes to 7…as much as it pains me to say this, being a Laker fan…it will be Suns vs Magic with the Magic finally winning one!
May 28th, 2010 at 8:01 am
Branch & Nnamdi are playing great.
Huff & CJ need to improve, but they are above avg.
MM and the 2 rookie CBs need development.
Routt Should be cut IMO!
May 28th, 2010 at 8:02 am
Eugene shouldn’t be on the Roster!!
May 28th, 2010 at 8:04 am
Suns win game 7 in LA?? There is absolutely ZERO chance that will happen. There is really no valid argument for even predicting it.
May 28th, 2010 at 8:05 am
Hey Ron…I don’t know….they have to play a heck of a lot better than they did the last few games…
May 28th, 2010 at 8:06 am
As much as I hate the Lakers, I just don’t see them losing at home.
Anyone not think those jerks would score with 3.5 seconds left?

May 28th, 2010 at 8:11 am
The Suns made a desperate run yesterday and got a ton of bounces to go their way to get that game close otherwise the Lakers have pummeled them in Staples. This series is over in 6.
May 28th, 2010 at 8:12 am
Eugene shouldn’t be on the Roster!!
he should of been cut right after that stiffarm by McGahee right after that play happened
May 28th, 2010 at 8:15 am
Ok ok…I will stay positive…no way Kobe has terrible 4th qtrs 4 games in a row!
May 28th, 2010 at 8:15 am
he was just a hard hitter at one point (eugene)
May 28th, 2010 at 8:19 am
Hopefully some of these rookies this year can phase out Eugene and Routt.
May 28th, 2010 at 8:22 am
Hwnrdr,
If the Suns cool off, even a little, its blow out city in Phoenix. That lil lefty Canuck is not going to hit EVERY f’in shot again like he did last night. That was rediuclous! The pressure of being in an elimination game will make the Suns crack. Lakers walk into Phoenix loose as a goose and blow their doors off. Guaranteed.

May 28th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Back to the lead topic–
Among the things we discussed in the final days leading to the 2007 draft was the expectation that the Raiders would conclude a contract before going on the clock.
It’s perplexing that the Raiders did not use their leverage to sign Russell (or Calvin Johnson or whomever else) in advance. As we know, money paid high draft picks tends to fall off substantially the lower someone goes, kind of like the drop in point values of picks on the value chart. Russell would have had no leverage. The contract for a 2 pick would have been much less, and no other team appeared ready to take him in the top few picks in any event.
The Raiders could have signed Russell on their terms and without a holdout. If, in fact, they tried and failed before the draft, they had to anticipate a holdout that would impair the value of taking Russell, and should have made a talent like Calvin Johnson the better choice given the need at wide receiver.

Regarding the drafting of Tyvon Branch (# 116 and following)–
Al Davis, a Syracuse grad, always seems to keep a close eye on the Big East. (Branch excelled while helping Connecticut develop a competitive program.) The Boss probably had a close eye on Michael Bush (Louisville) well before Mel Kiper Jr. starting talking up Bush before the fourth round in 2007.

GRaider,
Everyone on the east coast had an eye on Bush LONG before that draft. I’m a Kentucky fan (SEC) and watch pretty much every SEC game each year, but virtually no games from other conferences… but there was no way to avoid Michael Bush. Louisville would play us each year and he was just devastating. I remember thinking in his junior year that I hoped that the Raiders would somehow get him in the 1st round when he went to the draft… but also that he would get sick or injured and not get to play against UK in their next meeting. It was very bittersweet when he broke his leg… and I didn’t feel nearly as good about it as I thought I would. Everyone KNEW he was going to be the first RB taken in the 1st round… until the broken leg.

sounds like you’ve changed your strategy (strategery?) The reason Obama had to be “taking over a bank or car company or telling executives how much they should make.” Is because GWB f&^$#ed up so bad there was no choice.

That’s all the bad news. The good news is it was a very clean break, the Raiders did the right thing by not rushing him back, and right now he is good to go. If you remember his last collegiate game against UK, he had what, 10 rushes for 145 yards and 2 TD’s. IN THE FIRST HALF!

No point in arguing with him. He eschews facts reason and logic.

May 28th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Okay, I will join the political conversation only ONCE, though I know this will fall on deaf ears:
It is neither Obama’s fault, nor Bush’s. The president is in the EXECUTIVE branch of government, they do not CAUSE any of the problems with the economy, nor any other part of the country’s well-being. In the case of starting wars, the first 90 days is on the POTUS, everything after that (where the bill goes through the roof with YEARS of occupation), is solely on Congress. The government and its decisions are controlled by the highest bidder via special interest groups and corporate sponsorship, not any single man or political group. The two-party system exists only to confuse you poor souls and have you fighting each other like cats and dogs (exhibit A being here on this page), instead of seeking reform to the system.
You blame the other party and the figurehead of the country (president) rather than anyone who ACTUALLY controls anything. Every executive order can be overridden, which means that the president has NO power except for that which congress gives him. If they decide to let that executive order stand, then they don’t challenge it, but that’s the same as challenging it and voting yes. And to whom should all the credit or blame for any executive order go? I suppose you Bush-bashers and Obama-haters would say that the POTUS is responsible for his own orders, right? If you believe that, then you have no idea how the system works. After hundreds of millions of dollars were spent to get him elected, his every action is decided by someone who OWNS him, by dent of buying him his victory.
“Why would someone spend hundreds of millions of dollars to get elected to a job that pays Four Hundred Thousand dollars per year?”

True, but the President is also the bell cow, the leader, who is given power to enact HIS POLICIES by the republic. In the mess we are in right now, say, economically, can you deny that the policies of the prior President happened to be a major causation of the economic downturn? And do you not agree that those were very similar policies to the administration of Herbert Hoover in the 1930’s that led to the same economic catastrophe?

Dogg, that Easy Bay Sick show sounds pretty awesome, but Krappy ran himself off the blog before he could explain “The incident with the stripper pole” at the last show.
Since the old degenerate is not likely to make an appearance here soon, maybe you can enlighten the blog as to what exactly happened.
I’m sure it will only help in your recruitment efforts for their upcoming gig.
BTW – If Luis Murphy and Thomas Howard actually do show up to this show, Krappy is guaranteed to break his hip trying to impress them by doing the Lindy Hop in the mosh pit.
Something to keep in mind.

No stripper pole on Saturday but that doesn’t mean there won’t still be a ton of ladies in the house. They call themselves the EastBayChicks and they are all damn fine!
May 28th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
Well, I personally believe that it’s all part of a larger system of expansion and contraction, enacted and controlled by the Federal Reserve itself. Based on whoever holds presidential office or Congressional majority at the time (party-affiliation-wise). When policy is controlled by the banks and multi-national corporations and large conglomerates, then it’s easy to see how each type of policy action can be used to further gains. All you have to do is tailor the policies being put into effect to the party which has “control” of the country at that time. Thusly, you can continue to strangle the economy (even when it seems to be recovering, that’s only a way of getting more loans signed, which you can then call in when it tightens again, gaining more real property for the heads during the economic downturn) without anyone actually blaming YOU or seeing where the policies come from. Everyone will blame the “leaders” of the government at that time, because the policies will be in fitting with the traits that that party supposedly follows. Anyone who believes that the “corporate sponsors” of all you congressmen/women and presidents just gave all that campaign money to see their guy win and NOT to get their policies enacted… well, you’re a fool. No matter who wins the election, the banks still win.

I’m looking forward to some big numbers from Bush this year. He needs the stamina to stay on the field once he gets rolling. NFL yardage is much harder to earn, but he has proven he can rack it up.
I hope that Hue Jackson will introduce some formations with Bush and DMac on the field at the same time—with Bush as runner and DMac receiving out of the backfield or the slot. Of course, Bush has good hands, too.
May 28th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
I’m surprised that Brian the Genital didn’t come to the last show with his grandpa Krappy.
Usually those two roll together, primarily because Brian has a family obligation to change his grandpa’s diapers every 20 to 30 minutes.
Just promise that if Brian the Genital does show up, you’ll keep him far away from Luis Murphy. He’ll be trying to dry hump the poor dude before he’s even finished his first Long Island.

ENGLAND,
There was no pride in saying “poor souls,” it was more akin to pity for anyone believing that the figureheads have real power. The policies enacted by Hoover have much blame for the economic downturn, but that doesn’t mean that he is to blame for the policies being enacted. EVERY action by a president can be overturned by Congress. EVERY action by a president is dictated by “advisors” and his corporate sponsors.
The great depression was caused by central banks putting out massive amounts of loans, then calling in those loans en masse, making it impossible for anyone to pay off all their debt. Since the economy was being run via a fiat currency, people were at the mercy (or lack thereof) of the central bank and could not come up with enough capital to pay off these loans. Almost every small, independently-owned bank in the country went bankrupt because of this, which gave the large banks the opportunity to buy their assets at a fraction of their value and take over the forfeited properties of all the people who couldn’t pay their debts.
Congress didn’t prevent Hoover’s policies from being enacted, but that doesn’t mean that they COULDN’T do it. The blame belongs more to the men who could veto Hoover (but didn’t) than to Hoover himself, but far more blame goes to the bankers who pushed the policies upon the country in the first place… the ones who paid for Hoover’s campaign… and then dictated policy. Sadly, the American public continues to believe that the figurehead is more than just that.
May 28th, 2010 at 4:33 pm

I’m sorry, I’m too tired to read that but it’s nice to see that you’re working on the paragraphs.

Out. Period-or as they say in the UK…Full stop.
May 28th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
If you don’t understand how inflation works and how the Federal Reserve inflated fiat circulation and increased property loans and personal loans during the pre-crash stock market boom, then I won’t explain it to you. The crash was controlled (as always) and implemented by design. Morgan and Chase engineered the stock boom and its subsequent massive CALL , which caused a crash. See, when an option is called and you have a fractional stock, you suddenly LOSE the major gamble that you took.
The crash was caused by the call. The call led to loans being called in, outside the scope of the stock market. The failure to pay off all those loans caused American citizens to lose all their property. The failure to secure enough property to cover the market debt and the debt to the Federal Reserve caused all the small banks to lose all THEIR property. The winners, who ended up with all the property and all the real assets were Morgan, Chase, Rockefeller, and the Federal Reserve Bank… shockingly, a group that lost NOTHING in the stock market collapse. Why? Because they didn’t have any stocks that were subject to a call on a fractional investment.
The crash had nothing to do with Hoover himself… but his policies failed to end the Depression quickly… but then again, none of the men who had any TRUE power (those dictating policy) WANTED it to end quickly. Slow recovery means more property, assets, and power goes to the large banks as the smaller banks bleed to death slowly and the people who had SOME money saved watched their saving dwindle to the point that they finally had to lose all their property and assets.
May 28th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
ENGLAND,
My first post had paragraphs and almost all of mine do. The only fault with post 282 is that it was a LONG paragraph, but it was still a single paragraph nonetheless. Yes, I realize that I’m feeding the troll, but the point stands.
May 28th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
I just realized that it’s stupid to try to explain that to a Brit. He is from a system where privately held property and assets have been a thing of the past for centuries, except for the case of the ultra-wealthy. This is something that the common American doesn’t grasp… and they LIVE HERE… so how could I expect it to be understood by someone to whom the concept of privately held assets is utterly foreign?

Or maybe you’re right Steve…

May 28th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
ENGLAND,
So you’re telling me that you know people (commoners, not wealthy) who own say… 100 acres of property in England? Because the way the rest of the world hears it, the crown took everyone’s land long ago, unless you were titled and payed tax to the crown from said property and its productions, while all commoners would be lucky if they could somehow own enough property (real assets) to put up a hut. Please enlighten as to exactly how I’m wrong here…
May 28th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Oh, that’s right… you CAN’T… because I’m right. You’re just trying to have an ego trip and call the poor Yank stupid. Too bad you’re wrong. The concept of the banks intentionally crashing the market so that loans will be called in, which makes the loan holder have to forfeit REAL property that was used as collateral, in lieu of currency, thereby increasing the bank’s holdings of REAL property… well, that concept is just too foreign for you to grasp, so you just have to call me sh*t for brains to cover your ineptitude. *sigh*
Learn something about economics in a system where the commoners own land, then we’ll talk.

Obviously it WASN’T the emergence of Chris Johnson alone that had LenDale seeing less reps and getting his fatness shipped off for a song in a 4th round multi-trade with Seatlle last April.

Every team has been a victim of underachieving players many times. It takes players a while to learn how to get it done at this level. The same could happen to the Rams again.

Not everyone. I love Howie, but I wasn’t hoping for us to get Chris. His OTHER son, however… I want him to be a Raider. That having been said, I am so happy that JaCarcass is going to have to give back 9.55 mil because of the contract re-working. You know he and his agent were like, “Okay… I get the same money at the same time… sounds fine with me” and never realized that it was an ADVANCE on future salary, no longer guaranteed money. LMFAO.

May 28th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
We still need to fix the O-line.Someone needs to step-up ay RG. As important or possibly more importantly, we need someone solid at center. Satelle & Morris are NOT it. I was hoping we had a shot at M. Pouncey but I’m not complaining about taking McClain or Houston. We just need another Barrett Robbins. It will be interesting to see if B. Campbell can compete right away at RG and also to see if our other new lineman Veldheer can start someplace come opening day.
May 28th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Bruce Campbell at FB? Yes, he’s bigger than most FB. Yes, he’s new to the NFL. Yes, we don’t know if he can catch. But, he is BIG and can move quickly. He can block and has no where to go but up in that category. Why not try him there. He could end up being the REAL MONSTER of the midway. He’d be a great lead blocker around the edge & up the gut. He could be our own version of Refrigerator Perry.

Why not Campbell @ FB? The 1st thing to come to mind as a CB, safety or LB upon seeing Campbell rounding the edge with DMAC behind him is “oh Schit”. Isn’t that what you really want in a lead blocker? Additionally, he’ll certainly be a better blitz blocker than what we normally see back there. It all makes sense so I guess they’ll never try it.

Al Davis sucks, and the jerks who defend him deserve nothing but sorrow, and that’s what they get, EVERY year. There’ll be more this year. 11 games worth, at least. That feeling you get at the bottom of your stomach when the Raiders blow another one truly defines who you guys are, because there’s been so much of it in the past 7 years. Being a loser isn’t fun. That’s why you guys are so angry. It’s an interesting case study. I still consider myself a fan, but I’m smart enough to know the Raiders will never win again while Al Davis is alive.

I think JR should give some money back for his performance, or lack thereof. What I don’t want to see is this grievance become a distraction on this very promising offseason and into the season as well.
I don’t know about ya’ll, but for me, if someone is paying me millions of $ to play a sport or to do anything for that matter (within reason of course), I would at least care enough to try and at least look like a give a half a rat’s a$$ about what I’m doing.
May 28th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
If we wind up with Cooper Carlisle starting right guard and Satele at center things could get ugly quickly.
May 28th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
Nnamdi 21
I think Satele will start as I can’t see anyone beating him in this team. My personal preference is to see Chris Morris add some weight and challenge him for the starting position, he seems to have played better in the few snaps he took. Cooper will be replaced I think we will see either Walker or Barnes start there, I doubt he will even make the team this year, the guy sucks and Cable knows that…
May 28th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
Carlisle may not even make the roster this time around. There are many more decent O-Linemen available for starting spots this time around. Can’t comment on Satele other than I don’t think he’s the right guy. He’s back-up material at best. we don’t really have a real center prospect unless they intend to use a tackle there to. We’ll be one of the few teams that have 5 tackles playing as the O-line. Interesting.
May 28th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
Mario Henderson 6′7″ 300 S-OLT
Robert Gallery 6′7 325 S-OLG
Jared Veldheer 6′8″ 315 ?- C
Bruce Campbell 6′6″ 315 S-ORG
Langston walker 6′8″ 360 S-ORT
Kalif Barnes 6′5″ 325
Alex Parsons 6′4″ 300

Eric Pears 6′8″ 305
Daniel Loper 6′6″ 320
Brandon Rodd 6′4″ 305
Carlisle Cooper 6′5″ 295
We should be able to put together a decent line this year. I just don’t know who is our new Barrett Robbins. Cooper Carlisle most likely won’t make the roster this year. He’s too old, too slow and too small.
May 28th, 2010 at 11:22 pm
JB
trying to find another Robbins at C is difficult. Satele will to do. Robbins was special. But he wouldn’t be a fit for this system. His strength was man blocking.
This system fits guy’s like Satele, He will get better as he larns th technigue. You could tell he struggled with th system last year he should be better this year.
May 28th, 2010 at 11:32 pm
While it’s sounds like a nice idea to have Campbell at FB, he is way too tall and lacks the flexibility. FB has to have great leverage. It might work better as an xtra OT inline.

P….one of few bright spots
HC…still sucks
OC…minor upgrade
DC…sucks
Al Davis…the deal breaker. Even if all of the above are improved Al will bring them down to 5-11 one way or another. Either by meddling with gameplans, getting his players in there, or both.

The Raiders will be 8-8 or 10-6 in 2010. There is a new attitude and and obvious change of culture consdering our overall function this offseason. The RealMadden Raider, you are not a fan but an obvious troll. Go troll the 49er boards.
May 29th, 2010 at 1:22 am
The Raiders will be 8-8 or 10-6 if they move from the NFL to the PAC-10, and even then I don’t know. I know USC would be fired up for them…
I have news for you, Jmeds. Every single NFL team has a “new attitude”. I haven’t seen one team yet concede defeat for the 2010 season. Haven’t seen once coach say, “this isn’t going to be our year, we’re going to suck”. Just doesn’t happen. All teams are optimistic right now and have new attitudes because they haven’t had a taste of defeat yet. I’m sure the Raiders do have a new attitude right now. They’ll have it all the way till the end of the opening game vs. Tennessee. Then when they go to that prevent D to protect a 3 point lead with 2 minutes left, and Tenn. marches right into the end zone, that attitude will be gone, and it will stay gone, for the DURATION OF THE YEAR, JUST LIKE EVERY YEAR. Sure, they’ll pop a couple of big upsets late in the year, possibly against a playoff team or two, but the final record will still be 5-11.
Change of culture? You’re high. Just high. On what I don’t know. Not only is there not a change of culture, you guys are proud of that fact, remember? As long as Al’s there, the culture will be: No discipline, no order, no cohesiveness, no organization, no respect for the coaching staff, you know, the usual culture. The last time we even came close, and I mean even came close, to changing our culture was when Kiffin first got here. Al got rid of Kiffin for trying to change the culture here! That’s why Kiffin is gone, trying to change the culture. The culture is the same. Al’s way or the highway. And Al’s way hasn’t worked since people were using rotary phones.
And, I am a fan, I’m just realistic. It doesn’t matter what you think of me anyway. You’ll keep insulting me, I’ll keep insulting Al Davis. We’re at a stale mate and that’s where we’ll stay.
May 29th, 2010 at 2:32 am
Good morning (4:58am here in Va), Raiders fans!
RMR, I am not at a stalemate with you, I have withdrawn from interaction. You have your opinions and you are entitled to them. You have admitted that you come here to troll, just to get Raiders fans riled up and start drama. That’s your prerogative and if that’s what you enjoy doing with your free time… if that’s what you consider a productive use of your energy… then feel free to pursue your own brand of happiness. I’ll discuss the things that I want to, leaving you out of it unless you happen to say something that I’d like to respond to: like the stalemate comment.
Al has run my favorite team into the ground, starting with trading away Jon Gruden and chasing off the last two GOOD FOOTBALL GUYS that we had in the front office. I have blamed Al since ‘02 and will continue to do so until we make the playoffs again. However, when that day comes, if it comes under Al’s watch, I will give him credit, because as you say… it’s AL’S WAY. If someone else made some great decisions that got us in the right place, Al is ultimately the one who let them implement those decisions rather than anything else. Those new decisions may even come from Al himself. None of us were in the War Room for the draft, so it may very well have been Al who decided to draft intelligently. If so, it’s about stinkin time, but I’m glad for it. This is HIS team, and for that reason, he deserves all the CREDIT for the good… and all the BLAME for the bad.
I follow the Skins (not a big fan, but if I were to be asked who my second-favorite team was, it would be them, though 99.99999999% of my fandom energy goes to the Raiders) and can state unequivocally that I am NOT a Jason Campbell guy. Maybe it’s because he was in the wrong system with a WCO being forced on him, but I was not happy with the trade. I saw potential in him in his first few games and had high hopes, but those hopes were quickly dashed. I blamed him for lots of losses in D.C. and you can check the archives here… I said many times before the draft that I wanted us to trade for another QB to compete with Grads… as long as it WASN’T Jason Campbell. Nevertheless, he seems to be looking good so far, and I am trying to be optimistic.
We still need a lot of work on the OL, particularly at C, RG, and LT. I am NOT happy, nor am I optimistic about going into the season with the personnel that we currently have there. I would like a veteran WR on the roster, but I do NOT want it to be T.O. My dream come true would be a trade for Steve Smith from the Panthers. He would definitely be a great role model for the young WR corps that we have, while at the same time producing on the field. Yes, he’s fiery and might throw a punch or two, but that’s good Raider attitude if you ask me. If we can get the guy who taught ball-security to Tiki over to the facility to work with DMC and Bush, then I think we have a pretty talented pair of backs there, provided that DMC splits out to the slot or runs some short patterns from the backfield more times per game than he takes handoffs. We still need a bruising FB that can catch 10-20 balls per season and pick up the tough short yardage gains, but maybe we can convert Myers or consider trying Campbell there, just to see.
There is still a massive hole at DT. Without a big body to take up two blockers and possibly actually MAKE THE TACKLE at the LoS, then McClain will be a waste… because he will still be facing blockers at the 2nd level. Without a big run-stuffing DT in front of him to protect him from Cs and Gs with a full head of steam, McClain’s skills against the run won’t be nearly as productive as we need. Our OLBs are ALL pass-rush specialists, so I worry about our defense in coverage on short routes and dumpoffs to backs. I would like to see CJ become the Nickel and have Huff become the Corner opposite Nnamdi. Last year, it seemed like coverage FINALLY clicked for 24… and I’d like to give him the chance to prove that he can play bump-and-run on an island. The next thing would be to keep Branch at SS, but convert Mitchell to FS, that way he wouldn’t have to be on TEs in coverage (where his skills lack), but could instead be in space, letting him build up a full head of steam before making contact… and letting him blitz more often or cheat up against the run. Even if those Defensive Backfield changes don’t happen, I think we have a good rotation as it stands now.
The holes that still exist are gaping ones, in my opinion (OL and DT mainly)… but I think that there is a lot to be excited about. Watching DHB’s old film shows me that he CAN make great catches, he just hasn’t done it consistently at this level. I’m hoping it was a mental block or a slowness to adjust to the speed of the game in the NFL, but quite a few drops were on passes that OfftheMarcus threw way too high or behind him and he was lucky to get his hands on it at all… but that doesn’t excuse the dozen or so that hit him squarely in the hands and he just flat stone-handed them. Nevertheless, I like what Hue Jackson has brought and I expect at least 7 wins… and I think that’s possible. If we get a big DT or bring in Mawae (or somehow luck into trading for a good C from somewhere else) for the year to play and teach someone how to be a good C in the NFL, then I think we’ll hit 8 wins or more. Maybe someone already on the roster will just have it click for them and C, RG, RT, and LT will improve without getting more personnel, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Nevertheless, I’m looking for .500 this year somehow.
I think Al finally pulled his head out of his arse this season and started listening to other people’s advice for the draft. I don’t think he chose everything himself, but again, it’s HIS team, so in the end, he did make the final decision to make each and every move. I hope that the personnel and coaching moves this season will line us up for a playoff run within the next two years, and will NOT be satisfied with “well, it was a bad year… a few things didn’t go our way, but things are changing and we’re just around the corner.” I hope I’ve stated my positions on a few things clearly here. If you have something constructive to say about my opinions here, I’d love to read it.

We still need to fix the O-line.Someone needs to step-up ay RG. As important or possibly more importantly, we need someone solid at center. Satelle & Morris are NOT it. I was hoping we had a shot at M. Pouncey but I’m not complaining about taking McClain or Houston.
Pouncey’s twin brother Mike played next to him at guard for Florida, but he can also play center and is slated to do just that for the Gators this year. He’s 6-5 and 320, and is actually ranked ahead of O’Dowd from USC and Wisnieweski from PennState right now as the top center in the country. Maybe next year…
May 29th, 2010 at 8:45 am
I don’t like what Cable is doing with the OL. If Mario is our LT, then why is our 3rd Pick OT playing LT instead of RT which is a need position? Why is B Campbell playing G? Is that how you use an athletic OT? How about playing him as an extra TE to block, maybe Catch a few, etc.. You play him at G!!!?
May 29th, 2010 at 8:52 am
Keep Cable away from the Offense & Defense. Let him coach STs! lol
May 29th, 2010 at 9:00 am
Cable played Eugene over Huff, and I’m not talking about the time Huff was injured. He also didn’t use the RBs right, and he loved Fargas.
May 29th, 2010 at 9:03 am
I rather see Campbell playing RT, or Playing TE on rushing plays. Not G!
May 29th, 2010 at 9:11 am
-Al: Cable, how are you going to use Campbell? He is a great Talent! He is 6′6 315, ran a 4.7 40, played OL/ DL, and he looks like a LB more than an OL. He will be great!
-Cable: I’m going to try him at G!
Cable = Fat Monkey
May 29th, 2010 at 9:17 am
Cable wanted to play Bush at FB!! Bush was rated as a 1st RD talent before he broke his leg, and that’s why he was a steal in that draft. Why would you play him at FB, and why would you play Fargas over him? Made no sense to me.
May 29th, 2010 at 9:58 am
O,
Because he ran out of bodies. It wasn’t that Cable wanted to he needed a body @ FB.
May 29th, 2010 at 9:59 am

MR, you might want to slow down on your predictions at least until you start batting .250
May 29th, 2010 at 10:06 am
Here’s my new predictions for this year.
1 9/12 @ Ten L – I think a close game, but we might not be ready to get a W on opening day.
2 9/19 vs. StL W – at home, we should be able to get a W here.
3 9/26 @ Ari L – too much fire power from AZ.
4 10/3 vs. Hou W – yes, I see us beating the Tex.
5 10/10 vs. SD L – again, close game but not quite there yet.
6 10/17 @ SF L – another close one.
7 10/24 @ Den W – with a 52 yd FG from Jano.
8 10/31 vs. Sea L – coaching.
9 11/7 vs. KC W – because we can.
10 Bye Week
11 11/21 @ Pit L – payback time.
12 11/28 vs. Mia W – miami will be playing for a playoff spot, this is an upset special for us.
13 12/5 @ SD W – SD will be playing for playoffs, but this is the year we split with them.
14 12/12 @ Jac L – too much running power for us.
15 12/19 vs. Den W – yes, a sweep.
16 12/26 vs. Ind L – even when resting players, Ind will still win.
17 1/2 @ KC W – another sweep.
so where does that leave us? 8-8. I think this is a realistic prediction, maybe still a bit on the high hopes side, but very possible.

Look for Center Stephon Wisnewski from Penn State to be the Raiders 1st pick of the draft next year in the 2nd Round….unless of course they trade up or make a trade for another teams 1st rounder.

The new players and coaches that the Raiders have added this year are going to make all the difference.
Campbell instead of Russell
Mclain instead of Morrison
Bush instead of Fargas
New O and D line instead of old O and D line
New return guy instead of no return guy
We still need a fullback though.

Do you really believe that? I find it hard to believe you are a Raider fan. I think everybody has a reason to be excited as it looks like ole Al is finally letting go. We have made rational picks, trades and signings this past offseason. It is time to move on. The Raiders do have a new attitude about themselves. That much is clear. Cable wants character guys and quite frankly, with a real OC in the form of Hue Jackson, I do not any reason why we won’t utilize are strengths.

MLB: Mcclain over Morrison
SLB: Wimbley over Brown
FS: Huff over Eugene
KR: Ford over Russell
RB: Bush over Fargas
We also need to get McFadden in space. Line him up as a reciever, slot, etc.
I do not see any reason why we can’t add 7-10 points a game this year based on these changes. Nothing has ever been worst than the Russell debacle last year, because that is what it is. The kid is done.
But we are going to be a good football team this year.
May 29th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
‘Sup Nation?
Would like to see a long term deal get done with Seymour soon. I’ver read a couple of posters state that he doesn’t want to be here, and Al should trade him for Fat Albert or whatnot. I can see where it would be easy to reach those conclusions. It seemed he had to be forced into reporting after the trade, and now he’s not present for OTA’s, while working on a deal.
I read in a long interview with a New England station after the trade, that Seymour was enjoying himself in Oakland and was looking forward to being a big part of turning things around. So, I’ll take Richard at his word. As far as this offseason, he knows this is probably his last chance at a big payday in the NFL. So he is going to try and get every last nickle. I don’t begrudge him for that. Besides, at this point in his career he doesn’t need these OTA’s. They are for younger players. If it lingers into training camp, then I’ll be concerned.
Finally, The Raiders really need Seymour, for his veteran leadership as much as anything. This is a VERY young team void of leadership on it’s roster. Who are the most tenured Raiders? Lechler and SeaBass. Even the young vets in their prime Aso and Gallery, both good players, haven’t experienced any success in the league team wise. Richard has been through the wars and won championships. He is a consumate professional. His experience is invaluable. Cable said as much in his post draft news conference.
I’d like to see it done soon
May 29th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
After starting out the season like gang busters, with two sacks vs SD, his play seemed to level off. He finished with a disapointing four sacks. I believe he drew a lot of double teams and attention from opponents. He should be even better in year two, as he becomes more comfortable with his teammates and schemes.
And as several posters have noted Seymour is very versatile, and can be move around, kinda like Howie used to be. He can be moved inside to DT to exploit mismatches. With his versatility Seymour should be a major cog in this years D.
May 29th, 2010 at 3:43 pm

Though they say he’s not, he could be signed already. Can’t remember how long it took or if they ever announced Chris Johnson.
I believe Seymour figures prominently in John Marshall’s hybrid scheme this year.
May 29th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Hey Nnamdi21. How ya doin?
Could be, but I doubt it. Seymour is a little different than CJ Johnson. I think if the two sides had reached a deal, they would want to shout it from the rooftops. Even though the Raiders aren’t big on PR, obviously. Preferring to work in their mysterious, secretive ways. LOL. Hope it gets done soon.
Man this LAL/Suns game looks to be another nail biter.

Ok well you laker fans are quite juiced and should be. Now let’s see if 2009 was a default title since KG was hurt.
I see the Celtics in 5
No Trevor Ariza means less transition buckets and you will need that to beat Boston.
The point guard matchups are a total mismatch and Lakers wont even compete in this area
The Lakers bench is too up and down. The Celtics reserves will cause problems for Lakers all series long
Bynum is not 100 pct and Gasol is too soft to deal with the Celtics interior players. KG gonna punk him again.
The first two games are in LA. Trust me when I say that if it 1-1 going to Boston, Laker fans will never see their team until next November in LA.
May 29th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
The 2-3-2 format is tough on the underdog.
But I think the Celtics will win, if they can stay healthy.

Kobe and Artest take out 2 scorers on Boston. You pick the 2 and then tell me how Boston can score with the Lakes.
May 29th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
LOL jhill you think f@ggot ass sacha will be able to guard nate robinson when the reserves come in for both teams?

Celtics in 5? You can’t be serious.
KG is NOT the player he used to be. He’ll get 18 or so.
Pierce will be HOUNDED by Artest, lol. 18 or so.
Ray Ray will NOT get open looks. He won’t be playing against JJ Redick, lol.
Rondo is not better than Nash or Deron Williams. Rondo better find a jumper.
You act like we don’t play D.
***********************************
Yeah and we saw how Ray Allen dogged LA ALREADY buddy
Rondo not better than Nash and Deron Williams? Ever heard of all around game?

You will not find ONE basketball person who tells you Garnett is advantage over Gasol one on one. That’s ridiculous. And don’t tell me about 2 years ago prior to the knee injury. Garnett is NOT the player he was 2 years ago and Gasoft is BETTER than he was 2 years ago.
Gasol schooled D Howard last year who is a better stronger player than Garnett or Perkins, lol. But he’s going to fold because Garnett scowls and cusses?
LMFAO!

Do you really believe that? I find it hard to believe you are a Raider fan.
(weak comeback. Pretty sad that it’s your first sentence. Most of the kool aid drinkers usually put up a fight then eventually delve into the “you’re not a real fan” copout. I see you’re throwing in the white towel from the start. This should be interesting)
I think everybody has a reason to be excited as it looks like ole Al is finally letting go.
(Al letting go. It’s comedy hour already. Just what sign have you seen of that? Has he hired a GM? No. Has he went out and hired a real head coach, instead of an assistant offensive line coach he hired as an interim when firing Kiffin, who took the Raiders from 5-11 to 5-11 in his first two years? No. He just went out and got some more retreads, track stars, and overrated talent to replace the retreads, track stars, and overrated talent he just got rid of)
. We have made rational picks,
(”rational picks”. ha ha ha ha!!! That description just exudes confidence, doesn’t it? Not great picks. Not even promising picks. Just “rational picks”. Ha ha ha ha. So far it sounds like you have less faith in this team than I do. I actually thought Al made some good picks this year, even though he’s going to ruin it anyway with his meddling. But you just think it’s “rational”. Lol. Have some faith, dude)
It is time to move on.
(see above, where I point out that from the managerial level down to the head coach Al has SHOWN NO SIGN of moving on. Al’s still owner/GM, still the top man, still makes all of the decisions. No general manager. Every NFL team has one, it’s an industry standard now and its needed to address the complexities of today’s game, a game that passed Davis by long ago. Still butterbean at head coach. Nothing has ‘moved on”. )
The Raiders do have a new attitude about themselves.
(so does every team. Every team has a “new attitude” this time of you. What team is out there right now just admitting they suck? They all think they’re good. That’s because nobody has faced live bullets yet. A new attitude in June means squat. Let’s see what their attitude is like after they choke to Tennessee, probably in the same fashion they did to SD in last year’s opener)
Cable wants character guys
(Doesn’t matter what Cable wants. Only matters what Al wants. You know that. )
and quite frankly, with a real OC in the form of Hue Jackson,
(you didn’t even know who hue jackson was until we signed him. He’s not a deal breaking OC. In fact, OCs are overrated anyway. In the NFL the best quarterbacks audible at the line anyway. )
You know what, I think the DC will be able to do what he thinks is needed this year,
(You probably say that every year. Last year at this time were you admitting Al would pretty much dictate the defense? No. You were blowing the same sunshine you are now, talking how that would be the year Al finally let go. Now you’re saying it this year. You’ll be saying it next year, too. You’ll say it until Al is dead, after we’d completed our 15th straight 10 loss season.)
and not because I support Al,
(lol.. too late for that. )
because I don’t. Look, it is quite obvious Al Davis is letting go.
(it’s obvious in your imagination. In reality, it’s quite obvious nothing has changed. No GM? Tom Cable at head coach? You’re not reading between the lines. You’re hoping. )
Enough to let coaches do their jobs.
(Al’s going to let the coaches do their job. Just remember their job is to do what Al tells them to. Why hasn’t Al retired? The answer to that question should wake you up as to just how much Al Davis is going to “let go”. Try it. It’s called critical thought. Your brain won’t exploded. You’ll just get smarter. It’s an enlightening experience.)
We are not bringing in the TO’s, etc.
(we’re not bringing in TO because Al doesn’t want him, no other reason. TO’s not a deep threat anymore, he’s a possession receiver at best, which Al has no use for)
for a reason. In years past we would have already. I see Cable’s hands all over this thing,
(oh, believe me, so do I….)
and I like the direction we are going.
(when don’t you? Name one off season where you were calling it that we would be lousy? You’re guzzling the kool aid all of the time. You always like the direction we’re heading in. If you don’t, you’ll make yourself like it, out of loyalty to your master Al Davis. )
You are like Debbie Downer dude.
(and you’re an unrealistic peter pan Raider fan. Don’t name call unless you’re ready to don your title. )
The Raiders are moving forward.
(you said this last year, the year before that, the year before that. You’re selling for the Raiders and nobody’s buying. Nobody will buy until they start winning on the field. Give up)
Your a troll.
(then why’d you respond? You spent all of that time responding to every point I made while all along thinking I’m a troll? What kind of genius are you?)
OC: Jackson over Cable
(It’s the NFL. Offensive coordinators mean squat. All about the QB making adjustments at the line, and HC’s overall control of the team. Look at EVERY SB winner.)
QB: Campbell over Russell
(one bust for another)
RT: Walker over Green
(who?)
C: Satele over Morris
(who?)
LDE: Shaughnessey over Ellis
(who?)
MLB: Mcclain over Morrison
(only upgrade so far, but still not a deal breaker. Defensive philosophy is outright destructive, man defense all of the time, no blitzing. No player will save it)
SLB: Wimbley over Brown
(who?)
FS: Huff over Eugene
(Huff? That guy we drafted number one like 5 years ago and is yet to have a good football game? Wow. I just sprayed in my shorts)
KR: Ford over Russell
(you can’t be serious…)
RB: Bush over Fargas
(minor upgrade, won’t save us)
We also need to get McFadden in space. Line him up as a reciever, slot, etc.
(You do realize we’re playing against NFL teams with real defensive coordinators, who understand game film and don’t have a meddling owner forcing them to play man coverage every down, right? McFadden in the slot…please drink some coffee)
I do not see any reason why we can’t add 7-10 points a game this year based on these changes.
(it’s because you’re obviously not looking , at least not at anything realistic)
Nothing has ever been worst than the Russell debacle last year,
(not true. 2-14, 2006. Keep reaching)
because that is what it is. The kid is done.
But we are going to be a good football team this year.
(we’re better because Russell is gone? Interesting concept. Here’s our record the year before Russell showed up: 2-14. Here was our record the year before that: 4-12. Before that: 5-11. Before that: 4-12. Oh yeh….Russell was definitely the problem. We were 2-14 in 2006, dude. 2 losses removed from the goose egg. Russell sucked but believe it or not the Raiders improved with him. Won/loss records don’t lie.)

You sound like a guy who’s act just didn’t work in LA. There is just no way you could run that smack in the circles I roll with. You can run that all you want but trust me when I tell you that you wouldn’t last long bruh.
Now if you want to hang in the valley or in Hollywierd somewhere you might get by, but you better watch out for the esse’s.
Plenty of fake people in LA, where movies are made and there are plenty of out of work actors.
But So Cal is a big place and if you really think that is all that So Cal is about, then I would just caution you if/when you get down here.

aint that the truth bro… i live in dallas/ ft worth people out here think so ft worth is bad or oakcliff in so dallas is a bad hood… i grew up in se la south gate lynwood compton paramount.. man thats the hood.. i got a buddy from queens ny went to LA last yr told me he was never as scared as he was in LA… think about the hood in LA IT GOES FRM THE 405 TO THE WEST ALL THE WAT TO THE 605 TO THE EAST THEN FROM THE 91 ALL THE WAY UP TO THE 10.. ALL HOOD

Hack it in LA? hahahahahahahaha you fool so when people leave after they get done with college it was becuz they couldnt hack it? Stop it…your argument holds no water

May 29th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
Bri an, no, I don’t. Not as long as Al’s involved. Meds says above that we’ve moved on. How so? Who’s our GM? Al. Why hasn’t Al retired? If Al was truly moving on, it’s simple, he could just retire. THAT’S moving on. Why hasn’t he? Because he still wants to get involved, which = meddling. No way around that math.

MR, i understand your anger at Al but you think he really is gonna give up his prized possession? come on that isnt in his personality, but can you at least admit the moves done in offseason have been positive? I myself want a few more things done but can see it looks way better than last year. Meddling? Well how do you know he has meddled this offseason like you say he normally does?

And I mean what I said about russell. He sucked, but the team really improved since he was drafted. Stats don’t lie.
3 years before Russell was drafted:
2004: 5-11
2005: 4-12
2006: 2-14
With Russell:
2007: 4-12
2008: 5-11
2009: 5-11
Before Russell: 11-37
With Russell: 14-34
Like I said, I’m not saying Russell was good. He wasn’t. But I just don’t know what people mean by the “Russell debacle”. Seems the “debacle” has been going on for some time before Russell. Numbers don’t lie.

Br ian, I can’t prove Al is meddling. If you’re going to hold me to solid evidence of Al meddling I guess you got me. I guess the thousands of accounts by former players and team employees hasn’t convinced you. Even in a court of law you don’t need physical evidence. If 20 people from different walks of life, different ethnicities, different religions, etc., tell a jury they saw something happen, it happened, period. And no judge is throwing it out. But for some reason Davis loyalists need to see physical evidence before they’ll believe he’s the one ruining teams with his meddling, despite all of the testimony by former employees through the years leading in that direction. Nothing wrong with being naive, but I wouldn’t reveal it so much if I were you.

Al is a victim of trying to hard to fix his mistakes and compounding them. I mean after he hired Kiffin, i was pissed for weeks. But i must admit that this last draft was a good one and i feel that just the leadership of a true pro at QB will help this team make strides. Hopefully Hue can get something going on the offensive side of the ball and we can win 7 maybe 8 games.
May 29th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
I think the Lakers will, Bri an, and you know this is coming from a Kings fan. Look how they beat Phoenix the other night, which was obviously the rubber match of this series. You put two on Kobe, you guard Gasol, Fisher, et al, force Kobe to throw up an air ball, and there’s Artest. The Lakers just have too many players. They keep the game close, they’ll win. And they can do that 4 times out of 7 against Boston.

Whatever the case Bri an you’re apologizing for Al’s meddling, saying you’d do it, too. Same thing. It’s an endorsement.
*******************
I’m not apologizing for his mistakes…..i criticize him for his failures but he does admit to them….right now I’m not juiced about the Center and NT positions….Its gonna show against good teams
=============================================================
I actually think that Satele can be an OK player. 6′3″ 305 is actaully pretty big and if he learned the offense better than i think another year wont be that bad with a second rounder next year to challenge, hopefully Mike Pouncey.
******************************
That is sure a good way to look at it….some on the blog said Satele played better toward the end of last season so i guess we will see….it would be nice to know we got a center there with JC for the next few years…god knows we havent had a center since……….well why even talk about that again?
May 29th, 2010 at 11:30 pm
Well Laker fans…one thing for sure………..the two best teams the last 3 seasons are meeting up……as much as i hate the lakers from a basketball POV this is best matchup we can ask for unlike last year’s mismatch
I say 5 and some say 7…..i guess we will have to see right?
Goodnite!!

Cool Hand Luke was a good movie.
“What we have here is a failure to communicate”.
Kind of like the Raiders in the last seven years.
Hopper’s best movie though was one of his oldest- Easy Rider.

May 30th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
This is pretty funny from Bill Simmons mailbag:
Q: I think Al Davis died a few months ago. Some Raider employees covered it up to keep the organization’s patented secrecy, Al’s “us against them” mentality and a logical scapegoat when things go haywire. Others in the building are too scared to get close enough to determine if he’s really dead. Meanwhile, Al gets wheeled around in his wheelchair in Raider land and nobody can tell either way. How do we know he’s dead? Because the Raiders kept a coach for more than a year, made decent draft decisions and dumped JaMarcus the Hutt. All very un-Al Davis-like, right? I call this the “Weekend at Bernie’s” theory of Raider redemption. Try and disprove it, just try!
– Justin Whatcott, Boise, Idaho
SG: I can’t. The best thing about Al Davis’ past 10 years is this: You just read that e-mail and it didn’t seem totally ludicrous. Far-fetched? Yes. But not inconceivable. I mean, if you were watching ESPN one night and this suddenly came crawling across the ticker …
“BREAKING NEWS: ESPN’S ADAM SCHEFTER REPORTS THAT RAIDERS OWNER AL DAVIS PASSED AWAY 10 MONTHS AGO.”
… you wouldn’t exactly walk around your living room in shock like Thomas Hill after the Laettner shot.
May 30th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Al gets all the blame and no credit.
Eff U Sportsguy!

Transcript: Inside the Oakland Raiders live chat, May 25
Poole: Raiders miss boat by hiding Hue Jackson
Every Jason Campbell pass soared through the Alameda air as an on-target spiral, once a rarity on the Raiders’ practice field.
Every Darrius Heyward-Bey catch looked alarmingly natural, knocking his drop-happy reputation off its axis.
Every Hue Jackson chirp added the perfect spice, further endearing the new offensive coordinator to his troops and onlookers.
All of which made it easy to overlook left tackle Mario Henderson in Wednesday’s offseason training activities.
When an offense clicks like the Raiders did — whether on a partly cloudy May morning or a bone-chilling December afternoon — the left tackle should go unnoticed.
This new-look Raiders offense obviously needs Henderson to give Campbell enough time to throw the ball to Heyward-Bey, as well to Darren McFadden and “… and “… well, there still is time to add a veteran receiver (egads, even Terrell Owens).
Henderson’s chief concern is where it needs to be — with Henderson.
“You know I’ve got a lot of stuff to prove, a lot of stuff,” he said. “I’m really going to take that big challenge upon myself.”
Henderson is entering his fourth NFL season, but this truly is a new beginning for him. He is not blocking anymore for JaMarcus Russell’s notorious backside.
Will Henderson be blocking for Campbell, who’s becoming further entrenched as the starter a month after being acquired from the Washington Redskins?
Rookie JaredVeldheer, a third-round draft pick out of Hillsdale College, is a leaner option who will be afforded time to catch up to NFL-caliber competition.
So expect Henderson to enter the season as the starter at left tackle, a role he wants for the next “1,000 years” with the Raiders. As for last year, he struggled at times, but he was a junkyard dog, asked to protect Russell.
The addition of Campbell as an accurate, efficient and mobile quarterback makes life
easier for Henderson and his linemates.
“It’s crazy. For him to be able to come here, be able to grasp the offense and take control of it as fast as he did, it’s amazing,” Henderson said of Campbell. “It just goes to show you the type of guy he is and the type of hard worker and studier he is.”
If that sounds like the opposite of Russell, wait until you read the following Henderson quote:
“Now I can get adjusted as to where (Campbell) steps up in the pocket, (and) I know he’s accurate, as far if it’s a seven-step drop, I know he’ll take seven; if it’s five (steps), I know he’s going to take five. That’s good to be accurate.”
Russell’s baffling footwork in the pocket was among his many faults. Campbell is so smooth, and he doesn’t look winded or inconvenienced when he scrambles out of the pocket.
Running that offense in energetic fashion is Jackson. He constantly coaches up his players and enthusiastically taunts defenders, as he did to cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha after Campbell and Heyward-Bey hooked up on a short pass Wednesday.
“He helps build us up,” Henderson said. “Say if I’m blocking one play and I hear Hue talking smack to the defense, I think, ‘OK, let’s do this.’ ”
As for coach Tom Cable, he is supervising instead of micromanaging. Cable used to be attached at the hip with his offensive line, the unit he coached before replacing Lane Kiffin four games into 2008. But Cable is not forgotten by the kid he inserted at left tackle toward the end of that 2008 season.
Said Henderson: “Honestly, he was like a father figure to me. I’m sure he doesn’t know it. He really took me on and challenged me. I never had a father, never knew my father or anything like that.
“In college (Florida State), I had a few different coaches. When I first came here, he took me under his wing. He was
He was like a father figure and a coach. He would really get on my (butt) 1,000 times harder than anyone else.”
Cable is still willing to do that.
“(Henderson) is like the whole group: They’ve progressed, but there is still more to go,” said Cable, also agreeing that the quarterback switch has afforded the group a fresh start. “Everybody now has moved forward, and we’re trying to be a good offensive football team.”
Henderson needs to be good for the Raiders to be good. And not just in May.

(weak comeback. Pretty sad that it’s your first sentence. Most of the kool aid drinkers usually put up a fight then eventually delve into the “you’re not a real fan” copout. I see you’re throwing in the white towel from the start. This should be interesting)
# jmeds Says:
Now that we have gotten our introductions out the way.
The Real MaddenRaider Says:
May 29th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
(Al letting go. It’s comedy hour already. Just what sign have you seen of that? Has he hired a GM? No. Has he went out and hired a real head coach, instead of an assistant offensive line coach he hired as an interim when firing Kiffin, who took the Raiders from 5-11 to 5-11 in his first two years? No. He just went out and got some more retreads, track stars, and overrated talent to replace the retreads, track stars, and overrated talent he just got rid of)
# jmeds Says:
He may not have hired a GM but he is allowing Cable to push his agenda through. Allowing him to cut fat and create a new culture in the locker room. We can’t look past what has occurred for seven years, but even Al Davis sees it now. If we had average qb play last year we may have been pushing 8-8. Let the best QB play, whoever that may be. It was hard, but obvious Russell was worthless, imagine being out 39 million. In the end. ole Al seen the light, in my opinion of course.
The Real MaddenRaider Says:
May 29th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
(”rational picks”. ha ha ha ha!!! That description just exudes confidence, doesn’t it? Not great picks. Not even promising picks. Just “rational picks”. Ha ha ha ha. So far it sounds like you have less faith in this team than I do. I actually thought Al made some good picks this year, even though he’s going to ruin it anyway with his meddling. But you just think it’s “rational”. Lol. Have some faith, dude)
# jmeds Says:
Rational as in addressing our needs efficiently. We did exactly what we should have. What are you so mad about?
The Real MaddenRaider Says:
May 29th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
(see above, where I point out that from the managerial level down to the head coach Al has SHOWN NO SIGN of moving on. Al’s still owner/GM, still the top man, still makes all of the decisions. No general manager. Every NFL team has one, it’s an industry standard now and its needed to address the complexities of today’s game, a game that passed Davis by long ago. Still butterbean at head coach. Nothing has ‘moved on”. )
# jmeds Says:
To be honest, Cable may not be the best coach, but he keeps the players playing and has command of that locker room. He is a Raider. Obviously calling offensive plays is not his forte, but we addressed that in the form of Hue Jackson. With our current personnel our offense, if used right, should be respectable at the NFL level next year. Once again, why are you so mad?

(so does every team. Every team has a “new attitude” this time of you. What team is out there right now just admitting they suck? They all think they’re good. That’s because nobody has faced live bullets yet. A new attitude in June means squat. Let’s see what their attitude is like after they choke to Tennessee, probably in the same fashion they did to SD in last year’s opener)

Poole: Raiders miss boat by hiding Hue Jackson
They didn’t want to stay away. They didn’t stop being Raiders fans. They never stopped rooting.
But they’d seen enough of the careless, ponderous quarterback and the atrocious performances during the sorriest era in Raiders history. So thousands upon thousands stopped coming to games.
Well, some are coming back. Thanks to a rational draft, a logical trade, the release of JaMarcus Russell — and the persistence of the team’s ticket associates — many of those who sat at home last December are pulling out their wallets in May, ready to buy into the 2010 Raiders.
Even more are thinking about it. They’re counting their money, studying the changes and wondering if a new day has dawned. They need only a gentle nudge, something to tip them toward faith, if not confidence.
Meanwhile the Raiders have made the curious decision to conceal offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, the liveliest, most captivating presence to come to Oakland since Jon Gruden in 1998.
No cameras, no microphones, no notebooks, no introduction.
So Hue is, for now, a myth, the subject of second-hand tales of Hue. The media are allowed to see some of the impact he has on practices and feel the energy radiated by this former college quarterback.
“His whole goal during practice is to make someone mad on defense,” newly acquired quarterback Jason Campbell says of Jackson. “It excites everyone around us. It’s not going to be a quiet practicehere, I know. As long as he’s here, it’s going to be rowdy.”
That the interested fan, for now, gets nothing from Jackson suggests, even after several moves to invigorate the fan base, there remains a self-defeating stubbornness at the top of the organization. The Raiders are badly in need of a new image and seem to realize this, yet they are squandering a basic promotional opportunity.
Three months after he arrived from Baltimore, Jackson’s new employers have yet to formally unveil him for the public. No news conference, no appearances on TV or radio. The Raiders show no inclination to provide a platform for a man who by all accounts would know how to use it.
“I love the way he gets after it,” quarterback Bruce Gradkowski says of Jackson.
“He’s very energetic. He talks a lot of smack,” Campbell says.
Campbell could not suppress his grin when speaking about Jackson. Coaches who have worked with Jackson can’t hide their respect for his ability to connect with people, to get players to perform. Players speak of Jackson with genuine enthusiasm.
It’s the kind of enthusiasm that could stimulate, if not satisfy, many within a hungry fan base — especially if they’re seeing attempts to improve the quality of the team.
Utilizing your assets to sell your product is elementary, a concept straight from Practical Business Principles 101.
Arranging for head coach Tom Cable to appear on the KNBR morning show the other day, interrupting the incessant 49ers/Giants dialogue, was a stride in the right direction.
But it indicates continued dedication to the one-voice concept, with Cable being the sole spokesman. Oakland is comfortable with this approach, as are many other teams. In many instances, it makes sense.
Not here. Not now. Not if you recall the apathy of last season, the empty sections at the Coliseum, the local TV blackouts and the widespread disaffection. It was there in full color, mocking tradition and humiliating any Raiders employee with a shred of pride.
In the wake of that, one would think the creative minds inside the organization would pause to consider anyone who could promote revival. Yes, even an assistant coach, especially if that assistant conveys appealing qualities and happens to be responsible for the most widely discussed aspect of the team.
This is not to deify Jackson. He’s not a miracle man. But, for now, he doesn’t have to be. Not any more than Norv Turner needed to promise miracles upon being introduced as the 49ers’ new offensive coordinator at a news conference in January 2006 — two weeks removed from his firing by the Raiders after two dreadful seasons.
Understand, too, that Hue, 44, has more charisma in his bald head than Norv does in his entire body.
Unveiling something or someone new is an old and often effective tool. It’s more likely to work on those eager to embrace. The Raiders have plenty such customers.
As those folks explore their options, the Raiders might want to offer a little more persuasion to get them out of the house, where they sat last year, listening to Greg Papa on radio while Chargers-Chiefs were on TV.

654. Henderson needed to bulk up his upper body and work his awareness and technique.
Oakland moved up to get him I think and he was roundly criticized for “wearing a t shirt on game day” and not contributing at all year one.
I for one applauded the move. We struggled on the o line but Henderson needed time to develop his body and his skills.
I think he plays too high sometimes especially when he’s tired.
Missed Robert Gallery at LG helping him with assignments and reads too.
He’s a work in progress, but I think he’ll have a better season and could work into a solid LT for the forseeable future.
May 30th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
657. What a crock.
Yeah, like I really believe Poole’s concern is for the Raiders fans.
Oh, too bad they don’t promote Hue Jackson so more fans will like them!
Whatever.
Poole’s just back handed whining par usu’al about Davis (rightfully) shunning the media.
May 30th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
With evrything that’s taken place this offseason it’s easy to get optomistic about the season. Jason Campbell has really grown on me. The defense could be much better, My only concrns are the Oline’s ability to support the run game and protect Campbell.
I’m even starting to feel comfortable with the recieving corp. The work that DHB has put in is paying off. I’ve watched film on J Ford and that kid is better than I gave him credit for. He can juice up the return game by himself plus give some quality depth to the WR corp.
But the defense with the additions of McClain and Houston to that front7 along with Wimbley excites me the most. Houston will have as much of an as McClain will if not more. I think Houston could turn out to be force on that hard corner. I will be very disapppointed if we aren’t really good on defense this year.
I think we could have our first winning record in 7 seven season.
May 30th, 2010 at 3:45 pm
659. I liked the Make a Wish foundation thing they did this week too. So many stories about NFL guys being jerks, I really like to hear the stories about the positives and players overcoming the odds like our new MLB.

Nnamdi21,
I’m not making any predictions I’m just looking at what we did last year with basically crap at the most important position on the team. No identity on offense and inconsistent defense we won 5 games. If we correct half that with Denver taking a step back. And SD not getting better we could split with both of them.
I’m not sure what the record would be but having a winning record isn’t like we’re going to be great but I do see significant improvement.

******************
I don’t think that optimism is a stretch. We’ve upgraded the most important position with veteran knowledge – the QB. We’re making the right moves to protect him and improve our run offense by adding talent to the O-line. Our WR’s are a year older and have some experience & more importantly someone who can throw the ball where it needs to be. We’ve added a real OC who is aggressive and will better utilize the tools that are there. Bush & DMAC will get the necessary touches to become successful.Play action and swing passes are now back in the game plan. On ST this year we should have a better return game with Ford and hopefully Miller. On defense, Marshall will be better equipped to do his job. Our pass rush either by the front four or blizt should be impressive. We fixed our LB problems. We can throw a 3-4 in there when we want. Our defensive backfield is a year older experience wise and our corners and safeties should be stout against both the run & pass.
You should feel better about the direction the team is now going. There were a number of positive additions and key subtractions made. Denver appears to still be a mess and I don’t see where San Diego did anything to get better. Actually I think they got worse. I think we have better than a solid shot at the AFC-W division title. Yes, things are looking up at last. I think 10-6 is entirely possible. Wouldn’t that or better be nice for a change?
May 30th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
If CJ doesn’t come around this year I wouldn’t be surprised to see Huff inserted at CB across from Nhamdi. That would also give Marshall the ability to get Mitchell in play at SS while Branch rolls over to FS. That would make for an interesting backfield IMO.

I certainly don’t want predict playoffs or division titles until I actually see this team the 1st 4 weeks of the season. But I do know when I look back at lasy year and take into account the moves we’ve made there can only be improvement IMO. Campbell is obviously an upgrade over anything we’ve had at that position in years. We have continuity in the coaching ranks and upgraded other important positions.
While I think we’ll be muchimproved vs the run I also think we can finally rush the passer with some degree of aggressiveness and effectiveness. That is paramount to defensesive success. So therefore it’s not like we’re going on a whim. This is a better football team……………..period

May 30th, 2010 at 8:47 pm
I don’t think we’re a better team and I refuse to just toe the line and say we are because everyone else is. I believe you have 3 types of NFL teams. Top tier, good, and rebuilding. It makes no difference to me if we’re merely a better rebuilding team. All that matters to me is that we get to the good level, which requires at least 8 wins. I don’t see it.
Jason Campbell sucks. He sucks. That’s why he’s here. We didn’t get him in some high stakes bidding war. We got him because nobody else wants him. As far as him being better than Russell, according to many of you, so was Ryan Leaf. We’re going to have to do better than “better than Russell” if we truly want to compete in this league. We need a Brees or Manning. And the only place we’re going to find it is in the draft.
Back to Russell. Do you guys even realize we actually were better in Russell’s 3 seasons than we were the 3 seasons before we drafted him? Look it up. I don’t make this point to shill for Russell. He sucks. I make this point to prove that Russell was not the reason we sucked. He was part of the lame culture, but not it. It existed before he’d ever set foot here. I could see if we were even a 6-7 win team before he was here. We were 2-14 the year before we drafted him. I think a lot of you are simply in denial of that. You’re pretending we were good before Russell got here. Just look at the history. Sucked in ‘06. Sucked in ‘05. Sucked in ‘04. Sucked in ‘03. No Russell in sight. Open your eyes. It’s not JaMarcus Russell, it’s Al JaDavis.

May 30th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
I think this team is going to be horrible as long as Al Davis is here. He’s scaling back? Really? Why doesn’t he just retire? Answer that question, and it flies right in the face of the logic that he’s scaling back. The reason Al won’t retire is because the Raiders are his baby, and he always wants to be involved. That means he will always intervene and override coaches on important decision. If not, why hasn’t he retired, and hired someone to be a top personnel guy/GM, what ever you want to call it? It has to be one or the other. The only way Al scales back is by retiring. It’s that simple. A GM needs to have a clear head. Sure there are some financial decisions but at the end of the day he needs to be in charge of football decisions. A head coach needs to know that he is the man on that sideline, and that the players can’t just circumvent him and cry to the owner whenever he makes them do something they don’t want to do. Sure, there’s exceptions there, too. You’re going to have big money free agents and they’re going to have a little more breathing room. But throughout the years we’ve had guys that hardly even play griping up to Al for this or that, and Al giving them what they want because their his guys. A coach just cannot coach in that kind of environment. As long as Al’s there, the Raiders suck. Period.

He signed Russell, even though his HC told him not to. Credit to Al.
He signed Bey, even though all pundits never had Bey in their radar, and stated he wasn’t worth that high a pick…they were right…Credit to Al.
He signed out $270 million in contracts two offseasons ago, of which none of them were worth $270,000…Credit to Al.
record number of seasons with 11 or more losses..Credit to Al.
the most blackouts in the NFL the last 10 years..Credit to Al.
More ex-players dissing the organization, and especially Al than any other team…Credit to Al.
Creating an atmosphere where players are telling other players to avoid at all costs…Credit to Al.
I’m sorry…what was your question again??
May 30th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
The reason why Al gets all of the blame and none of the credit is because he deserves all of the blame and none of the credit. There’s enough we know about this man to demonstrate beyond any sane person’s reasonable doubt that he’s detrimental to winning, and has been since the ’80s. Ron Wolf’s success in Green Bay goes a long way to disprove Al’s so called “genius”. It’s obvious to anyone with a clear head that Ron Wolf built those great Raider teams, and that Gruden/Gannon were more to credit for the surge a decade ago. That’s why Al Davis gets all of the blame and none of the credit. It’s an accurate summation, as much as it hurts the feelings of him and his loyalists.

n Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2] In addition to the offending poster, the noun “troll” can also refer to the provocative message itself, as in that was an excellent troll you posted. While the term troll and its associated action, trolling, are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective, with ‘trolling’ being used to describe many intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context.

According to you a troll is anyone who doesn’t think the Raiders will win the Super Bowl this year. This is Jerry McDonald’s blog. The only way someone can be a troll here is to disrupt HIS blogging. None of you are authors here, you’re all commenters. People who dislike Jerry and try to disrupt his overall opinion are the real trolls here, and many of the Davis loyalists fit that bill more than I do.

So to you this is as good an entertainment that you can hope for…just think, once you actually get and keep a job, maybe you’ll get cable….I digress….
YOUR SORRYASS HAD MAD MANLOVE FOR JR..YOU BRAGGED ABOUT IT continuously. You stupidly posted to everyone about the JR jersey you ordered (store didn’t have XS) and for two weeks you counted down to your big day, going to pick up your jersey.
You announced to one and all “I get my jersey tomorrow” You announced to all “I’m leaving now to get jersey. Be back in couple of hours”..and crowed and crowed how your mommy got you a jersey, and how you skipped out to the bus stop.
Then Russell got REALLY bad, and you then, in your patented “head up ass” manner, tried to backtrack, that you were “just kidding”…except everyone knew, and everyone laughed, and are still laughing.
Yeah, Geekboy, at you.

record number of seasons with 11 or more losses..Credit to Al.
the most blackouts in the NFL the last 10 years..Credit to Al.
More ex-players dissing the organization, and especially Al than any other team…Credit to Al.

May 31st, 2010 at 8:16 am
I’m not ready to pay any Tributes to Al. I maintain that the road back to respectability is long – let alone greatness.
I’m just sayin’ “Eff You Bill Simmons – The Sports Guy” for saying that Al died 10 months ago, and that’s why the Raiders are having a good off-season.
I don’t agree that Al has to die for the Raiders to win.
May 31st, 2010 at 8:20 am
Yes He does, Ray, but in my opinion it’s a bit of a stretch to steal someone’s money and then turn around and call it a blessing from God.
Which is exactly what JaMarcus did.
May 31st, 2010 at 8:27 am
Jamarcus earned his money. He and Mr. Davis entered into a contract. Only God and time knows if his money will prove to be a blessing or not. If Jamarcus does something worthy with that money, then it will be a blessing. Maybe he will start a charity.

Actually the last few years everyone has been cursing Al going into the season. Some of us go into each season with a “this is the year” attitude but I have not seen many preaching “Al is back” the last few years.
other then this year, of course.

May 31st, 2010 at 8:37 am
Ray,
You say “JaMarcus earned his money”. Maybe you could elaborate a bit, because I’m sure tha vast majority of the Raider Nation is wondering how he did that.
Signing the contract is not earning the money. Signing the contract is the equivalent of giving your word that you will give an honest effort, put in the work, and produce results. There is plenty of evidence to suggest he did none of those things.

I’m not judging him any more than you are. I’m simply pointing out that he promised, in writing, to put forth an honest effort and do the things he was expected to do, both on and off the football field.
There are 53 former teammates and an entire coaching staff that would say that he didn’t do any of those things.
Draw your own conclusions, but don’t insult my intelligence by saying that he lived up to his end of the deal by simply putting pen to paper.

May 31st, 2010 at 9:10 am
Ray,
First of all, not all of the money is guaranteed, and the amount that WAS to be guaranteed was a major issue during the negotiation process and led to Russell’s holding out and missing training camp his rookie year. Secondly, Al Davis tried to include language regarding forfeiture in the contract to protect himself from being defrauded if Russell decided to take the money and do nothing. This was rejected by Russell and his agent.
Third, you have mentioned Al Davis’ responsibilities as regards the contract but have failed to mention that it was Russell’s responsibility to attend meetings, study and prepare himself to play the position, keep himself in playing shape and support the team publicly as its leader. Russell was fined several times for missing meetings, was reported by teammates to have fallen asleep in several that he did attend, was criticized (to the owner and head coach) by his position coaches for his refusal to study and prepare and work on the fundamentals of his position, and blamed his teammates in public for his own poor play.
Both JaMarcus Russell and Al Davis had responsibilities under that contract. Al Davis paid Russell every cent that he agreed to pay him, and hired position coaches specifically to help JaMarcus with his professional development. JaMarcus had full access to the Raider facility any time he wanted it. Al Davis lived up to his end of the deal. JaMarcus Russell did not.

********************************************************
Davis is not suing Russell for what the “loopholes in the contract will allow for.” He has filed a grievance with the NFL, claiming that the 9.55 million he paid Russell was an advance on the remaining three years of Russell’s contract, and since Russell is no longer with the team he should not have to pay it. Russell’s agent claims that that money is guaranteed, the Raiders claim that it is not.
If you’re going to argue a point at least get your facts straight.

Jamarcus Russel is a Better Athlete than Peyton Manning!
For real, think about it: Russel is 6-6, 270, and runs a 4.83/40. Peyton manning is like 6-4, 230, and didn’t participate in combine activities to show off his “Tangibles”. JR is younger, faster, stronger, and can throw the ball further than Manning. So why isn’t he good?
Unfortunately, athletic ability alone does not win football games. I think the reason Peyton is an astronomically better ballplayer than Jamarcus is simple CONFIDENCE. Peyton is probably the hardest working QB in NFL history. He puts in the effort to improve himself and his game in every way – and even though he will never have a body as strong as JR’s – He is in top physical condition, for himself. The hard work has paid off for Manning in the form of confidence. He honestly believes he can do anything, and he can. And if he can’t, he will practice and study until he can.
Over time, That Confidence has transferred to his team. Now his Offense feels confident that he can get some plays going, and soon, they believe they can score a TD on every possession. They damn near can! Eventually the Defense steps up and soon the whole team believes they can win every game. They don’t just portray confidence, they ARE confident, to the core. And that is what makes them winners.
The Raiders have never been short on talented athletes. Al Davis has been getting the best Athletes available at all positions in hopes that the strong survive (despite the usual criticism).The reason the Raiders don’t win is not due to a lack of talent, but a lack of confidence. I don’t think the Raiders believe that they can win, and the more that they lose, the harder it is for them to build confidence.
I don’t think Al has to die for the Raiders to get their confidence back. They just need to string together some wins. It is possible, just get over the self-defeating lack of confidence. The only team that can beat the Raiders is the Raiders – and we have seen the implosions. Its all mental, just like DHBs dropsies.
J-Camp is another gifted athlete with low confidence, I don’t think he alone will change the Raiders losing culture. Cable exudes false confidence, which is a good start, but until the players buy in (in their heart of hearts) it is still just false confidence. H. Jackson is our best bet for turning things around. If he can get inside our players heads and instill confidence, get them to believe in themselves and the team as a whole, then we will win!

Very cautious with my optimism on Jason Campbell. Spoke with my brother this week, a Raider fan who lives an hour from DC the last ten years, and he is not a Campbell fan.
Called him the black Jeff George. Not passionate, plays very slow and not crisp at all, plays great in meaningless games against bad teams or great on meaningless drives at end of games to pad stats. Huge costly turnovers. Teammates don’t hate him or love him, because he is very guarded and quiet.

BigTed707, you won’t be saying right on when you are left behind.
May 31st, 2010 at 9:33 am
LMN,
You and Ray are combining two things that are separate and drawing a conclusion based on an erroneous premise.
Al Davis does not have a written contract with any fan to do anything but put a team on the field for eight regular season home games, eight regular season away games, and preseason games. That “contract”, if it can be called one, probably only applies if you buy a ticket to see a game in person or pay to see it televised. Hard to say he violated anything there.
The Raiders have never said that DeAngelo Hall was advanced any money at all, and it is their right to contest or not contest any monies paid to Mr. Hall. Since they have not, we have to assume they don’t have a problem with that contract.
JaMarcus Russell was cut because he did not perform (on or off the field) the way the Raiders expected him to during the three years he was with the team. It is the Raiders’ right to do this. The Raiders are not going after the money they paid Russell for those three years; they are going after the money they say he was advanced for the next three years, which they say is not guaranteed and that they should not have to pay because he won’t be here to earn it. This is also their right.
The situations are completely different, and one cannot use one situation to recommend action on the others.

The problem is, if you believe one thing, and others don’t then they MUST be wrong. If I am wrong and you are right, then you must be better than me.
It’s like football. It isn’t just that I love the Raiders, I also HATE the Chiefs. Very hard to do one without the other.
I’d like to spend eternity listening to Rock Music, Doing Drugs, Fornicating, and talkin’ Raiders with Al Davis. If you call that Hell, so be it.

Ron,
While I am not as optimistic as others on Campbell, for a 4th round pick in 2012, it still was a great move. He also will be a huge improvement, although that isn’t saying a whole lot.
And as far as if he went to Denver? I think he would be the starter, though not as easily as here, but I wouldn’t fear if Jason Campbell was in the division. Certainly, Dallas, NYG and Philly didn’t.
He is young though, and still not yet in his prime, and from all signs he isn’t afraid of work. He needed a change of scenery, and maybe this will be just the spot for him.

TO is questionable.
He may be like Moss, and not play for us, only wanting a paycheck, and never believing we can win.
He may come in and be a good mentor to our young WRs, and help give them some swagger and develop a good workout regiment.
I guess I don’t know how I would feel about him. On the one hand, he’s an ex-9er and a media whore, so I hate him.
On the other hand, He called Garcia a Homo, and should demand a double team on Defense, so i like him.

You’re right.
Let’s give Al the credit that is due.
He signed Russell, even though his HC told him not to. Credit to Al.
He signed Bey, even though all pundits never had Bey in their radar, and stated he wasn’t worth that high a pick…they were right…Credit to Al.
He signed out $270 million in contracts two offseasons ago, of which none of them were worth $270,000…Credit to Al.
record number of seasons with 11 or more losses..Credit to Al.
the most blackouts in the NFL the last 10 years..Credit to Al.
More ex-players dissing the organization, and especially Al than any other team…Credit to Al.
Creating an atmosphere where players are telling other players to avoid at all costs…Credit to Al.
I’m sorry…what was your question again??
*****************************************
OK I’ll give him credit for that.
Then I’ll Blame him for Bringing in H. Jackson. Blame him for Demoting Cable as OC.
-Blame him for drafting need instead of speed this year.
-Blame him for Bringing in Campbell. Blame him for S-canning Russel.
=========================
Oh, ok, gotcha.
400 mental midget mistakes=2 common sense decisions?
Don’t think so.
He s-canned JR because the whole world was stating he was the biggest bust of all time…just took Al a lot longer to actually formulate the thought process (Lance..JR is a great qb…get over it)
Campbell is anything but a major improvement as far as NFL qb’s go.
As far as Jafatass? Sure…but so is my grandmother. Campbell has many of the same knocks as JR, and was gotten cheap for a reason. Same reason he sat for over a week with zero teams giving him a sniff.
And “demoting Cable as OC’?? lmao..you look at that as a plus? That your HEAD COACH WHO’S SUPPOSED TO BE AN OFFENSIVE MINDED GUY, gets demoted from doing what his forte is?
In other words, Cable is a tree stump who obeys commands. Yeah, I know.
And Hue is an asst. Al signed an asst. Big whoop dee doo.
that’s now 17 or so “assts” signed in the last 5 years that are “going to turn __________(pick a player) around”.
And most of those assts have come and gone, with the results still the same….BECAUSE ONE MAN IS PREVENTING PROGRESS..can you figure out who that is?

Rico!
can I call you uncle rico? thanks.
Good to see you on today. You are one of my fav. peeps on this blog.
All’s I was saying is Eff Bill Simmons – the Pats fan sportswriter – for insinuating that AD died 10 weeks ago. and that explains the Raiders off season.
Really, why stop the blame at 3 years. We can go back into Raiders history and list pages of things Al did both good AND bad. The only thing that is relevant is what the team is doing right now – This Season, and for the future. Dwelling on past mistakes and/or glories won’t help us
I maintain the road to respectability is long, let alone greatness. But I disagree that the Raiders need Al to die before they can win. I think it’s all about CONFIDENCE. Just like most things in life.
Don’t change Uncle Rico. I don’t care what anyone says, you are an asset to this Blog whether we agree or not!

The only thing that is relevant is what the team is doing right now – This Season, and for the future.
…………….
Be careful what you wish for, because I’ll go right ahead and talk about the present, and tell you that the team sucks, right now.
General Manager, top personnel guy…Al Davis. 7 straight seasons with 10 or more losses.
Head Coach, Tom Cable. Less than a year ago got into a fight with an assistant, during a time when concentration is key for the players. Is a career offensive line coach. Stands on a sled and blows a whistle for a living. Was only promoted as an interim because NOBODY would take this job.
Coaching staff…Hue Jackson is a plus but what can he do with Jason Campbell, our joke of a line, and our green receiving corp.? What will he do that Washington didn’t try, where Jason is concerned? Defensive coordinator is another Davis hack, and it showed last season with little blitzing or deviation from man coverage.
Quarterback…Jason Campbell. Upgrade over Russell. Kudos. Still doesn’t even come close to ranking with the better QBs in the league. Aaron Brooks all over again.
Offensive line…some minor upgrades but still a joke.
Tight End….good, but what can he do alone?
RBs….nothing special, especially with our line.
WRs….Shillens ok, he and Miller could be targets for a QB who will get about a 2 count to get rid of the football with our o line. The question is, will our QB read defenses and get the ball to them? He didn’t show any signs of it in Washington.
Defensive line….one run stopper isn’t going to cut it.
LB…same.
Secondary…solid at the corners. The one thing Al does right. Safeties, on the other hand, might as well not even take the field.
So, I am looking at the present and the future, and it sucks. It sucks, just like the past, because the same person is running the team and we’re using the same system. That’s why people talk about the past, because the same person is running the team. And yes, it is fair to blame Al for the bad and give others credit for the good, because as soon as Wolf and Gruden left, we fell apart. We only succeed in spite of Al Davis, not because of him. He’s a detrimental spoiler of any progress. He’s locked in the past and has an abusive ego. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, and he make progress absolutely impossible. That’s why I’ve always insisted that we can sign the pro bowl roster and we’ll still lose.

“Doesn’t mean it translates into wins, but it’s immediately better.”
So, there you have it. The Raiders can sputter to the finish line at 5-11, yet still be a better team, as far as Richochet’s concerned. If he’s capable of such a stupid thought, why can’t you be?
May 31st, 2010 at 12:55 pm
Hope the Raiders can Run out of the Spread.
Bush/dmac as single back, 2 TEs, 3WRs, rotating DHB, JLH, Ford and Dmac out of the slot.
no FB?

RMR,
I know you think the Raiders won’t win until Al croaks.
I disagree.
Al isn’t motivated to prevent progress. He wants the raiders to win more than any fan on earth. The problem is a lack of confidence on the offensive side of the ball. It is a psychological problem that can be cured with some luck and some W’s! I believe a teams identity can turn around on any given Sunday. Nothing is certain, that’s why we watch the games.
May 31st, 2010 at 1:11 pm
Lack of confidence is the problem with the O??
Wow! And I thought it was the lack of a number 1 back, a number 1 WR, lack of a competent QB and the piss poor o-line!!! Sweet, now I know. And knowing is half the battle.
May 31st, 2010 at 1:12 pm
Also, the fact that Cambpell was signed and will start in front of Gradkowski, a more accurate, high percentage QB, is more proof that Al has not scaled back his meddling in the slightest. What does Al Davis see in Jason Campbell? JaMarcus Russell! Who else?

Ron,
I agree the O-line is/has been piss poor.
But even w/ Collins at QB, D. Rhodes at RB, and Randy Moss at WR, we would still implode.
If they worked harder on their game and practice hard, they could be as good as anybody. You can’t fake confidence, it must be built through experience and determination. Learn from your mistakes, adapt, improve – it all build self-confidence. Top that of with the sweet taste of victory, and the motivation to become better increases. It creates a feedback loop, and next thing you know, CHAMPIONSHIPS!
The Raiders cannot win because they don’t believe they can win, and they have given up the will to try. We watched it happen on Jan 26, 2003 our winners became losers. In front of a Home-field crowd and the entire Nation. The teams Confidence was shaken, and has not returned since. Players have come and gone, but the team identity remains: We can’t Win, So Why Try.
You may buy this philosophy, but I don’t. Any crappy team can win if they believe in themselves.

Gradkowski was more accurate in college maybe, but in the NFL Campbell is the better player and gives us the best chance to win.

============================================================
If that guy had built some of the most successful businesses of all time i might consider it. What you are saying is a differnet story though, Al needs no one to hire him……he owns the team!!! I am not of the belief that Al doesn’t know what he is doing, he simply builds a team the way that he wants. I remember when he took Gallery in the 1st and Grove in the second, all the analyst were praising him for building a team the “right” way. Look how that backfired. People aren’t remembering how heavily they praised the Gallery pick or how many “experts” felt Jamarcus had to be the selection, they just criticize the failures. I wanted Calvin Johnson, Al wanted Jamarcus, and Kiffin wanted Quinn, does that make me a better GM than either of them??? Tom Cable has been basically begging for a “Cadillac” for two years, i guess he is smarter than Al or Kiffin. All you do is complain about the negatives, why not speak on the positives that has come recently. We have a new OC that spent a year seeing how to use a 2 back system and how to run a conservative passing attack with the backs involved in B-more.
May 31st, 2010 at 2:04 pm
I luv Bruce because the team played more “inspired’ under him, he is a leader, too bad he has bum knees.
Some QB’s are late bloomers and Bruce is only 26, maybe 27.
He can always sell his soul to Al for a few healthy years and lead us to a SB.

================================================================
The raiders have talent, they also has a culture of losing that everyone knows must be overcame in order for them to ever be a good team. Whether they had enough talent in the past to be effective consistently is questionable. Kiffin and Cable both recognized that the losing spirit had to be broken in order for them to be good. When a team believes they can win, they are more likely to do so. We had inferior talent to Pittsburgh, yet we won because we believed and the players responded. Perfect illustration is how the team played behind Grads and how they played behind Russell, same team different enthusiasm and results. Talent is key, but talent plus no heart equals defeat.

Once upon a time there were some Freemasons. At their head was a wooden-toothed, syphilitic slave owner. They sneezed at the Redcoats and the Brits ran away.
Then they shot some farmers who opposed a whiskey tax.
Then they all banded together to kill by weapon and disease a continent full of people who didn’t look like them.
Along the way they killed most every other moving creature they saw.
They also killed each other en masse in a war of the existing states.
Then they degenerated further and began to call themselves greater than all nations.

I actually think that Grads has a better supporting cast on the offensive side of the ball. Portis was injured and played only 8 games ending up with 494 yds, and Cartwright was so good that he was released and ended up here. Atwaan Randle-El was let go for non production, while Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas were mostly ineffective. The only areas where i can really see any type of advantage is on the offensive line (though they still gave up 40+ sacks), #1 reciever, and Chris Cooley is a pro bowler, though i do feel that Zach Miller is better.
In the Red zone Jason had 18 td passes, 0 int’s, 63% completions, a 110 rating and a rushing TD which made him the top red zone QB last year.
May 31st, 2010 at 5:47 pm
RSeymour is one of te very few stand up guys we have on this team. If Mc CLain is a stand up guy, he and Seymour should be co-captains…
May 31st, 2010 at 5:49 pm

May 31st, 2010 at 6:21 pm
I don’t follow the Skins but Campbell has struggled through rotating coordinators but has shown improvement year.
Before the Raiders Grads failed to make a roster on teams arguably worse than Oakland.
He’s a back up here and a roster cut anywhere else.
Like I said, unsure about Campbell but it seems his work ethic and accuracy are an upgrade…peanut.
May 31st, 2010 at 6:30 pm
919. Yeah, pretty much.
May 31st, 2010 at 6:55 pm
‘Sup fellas.
Lets be realistic. Would Manning or Brady be traded for a fourth rd. pick two years from now? No.
Is Jason Campbell an elite NFL QB? No. But he’s not chopped liver either.
He got caught up in a regime change in D.C. That is often the case in the league. Shanarat wanted “his” guy, just like his succesor in Denver wanted his.
Campbell didn’t light it up in Washington, but he didn’t stink it up either. He should be used to turmoil. Constant turnover in coordinators. Played for a dead man walking in Zorn. Still managed to complete 63 % of his passes for over 3,000 yds and 20 touchdowns.
When was the last time a Raiders QB did that? Let’s hope he builds a rapport with Hue and his young offensive teammates.
The reports from these last OTA’s sound encouraging. Jerry and others stated it’s the best the passing game has looked in Alameda in a long time.
Let’s build on that moving forward.
May 31st, 2010 at 7:10 pm
Guess Seymour is the obvious choice to wear the green dot on Defense.
I hope he isn’t afraid to audible – help our team by calling more blitzes and man coverage at the line.
Keep Offenses on their heels by changing up looks a la Ray Lewis?
I know, I’m dreamin’.
If J-camp and co can move the chains – our Def should look a lot better.
May 31st, 2010 at 7:19 pm
BigTed,
While I think Seymour is key to this defense with his versatility and veteran leadership, and very well might be voted a team captain, I very much doubt he’ll wear the dot. That’s usually reserved for someone who walks upright on two legs. LOL. Not one of the Big uglies down in the trenches.
If he is really as studious as advertised, it wouldn’t surprise me if McClain makes all the calls, and wears the dot. Lot of pressure for a rook, no doubt. I hope he seizes it. Just my opinion.
May 31st, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Ted,
You’re dead on about Campbell and the offense, though. Move the chains, maybe even score some points. Keep that D off the field and rested. If the Raiders could actually get a lead it might force teams to play into the Raiders strength, the pass D, instead of just running the ball down their damn throat.
May 31st, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Dead-on the last two there, Buckeye
May 31st, 2010 at 7:32 pm

Hands down McClain wears the green dot. Dude been watching film snce the day after he got drafted. Saban said he was by far the smartest defensive player he coached in college. He wears our green dot.
May 31st, 2010 at 7:34 pm
I got this feeling that we are standing pat at WR because Al is waiting to see how that Crayton situation plays out in Dallas.
May 31st, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Just when I wanted to gripe about no new post for 4 days, I scroll down for some sensible Raiders talk. I agree Buckeye, I’d love to see McClain QB the D. And Campbell is a bonafided NFL QB, maybe he’s a Gannon, maybe not but it’s gonna be fun to find out.
GO RAIDERS!!!

Right on Buckeye.
Whoever wears the green dot needs to able to read offenses. Since McClain is a rookie in the NFL, I didn’t assume he would be the choice. Does the MLB always get the dot? I thought it went to the Def Captain.
May 31st, 2010 at 7:55 pm
The only stat that should matter for a starting QB is wins and losses.
In 1998, Jeff George had a brilliant statistical season, something like 30 TD’s and less than 10 picks, 4,000 yards and an over 60% completion %. I’m sure he had a great red zone QB rating as well.
But guess what, we were 4-12 and he padded his stats on meaningless drives all year in blowouts.
I saw much of the same from Campbell the last few years. If it is a 31-14 game with 3 minutes to go, Campbell was set to go 6-7 for 72 yards and a meaingless TD. That’s what he does, and thats’ why his stats look way to good for a guy who was available for the Arman Shields of 2012, and that’s the best the Skins could get for him. Proceed with caution folks.
May 31st, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Proceed with caution was for the J Russell era. This is the J Campbell show, deal with it.

This Defense can be great if we can make a few changes:
1- Play Huff at CB, NB, and FS only in passing situations.
2- play Seymour at DT, and let TK & Bryant play the other DT position.
3- play Matt S, Houston, and Richardson at DEs. Also, use Scott as a LE on passing downs (like his rookie year).
4- use TH as a cover OLB.
We have talent, size, and speed on Defense, and we should use that to create TOs to help our offense. Huff, TH, and Seymour can make be great, if we use them right. TV had 5/6 INTs in one season, and Huff had 3 in 3 games last season.

Gradkowski was more accurate in college maybe, but in the NFL Campbell is the better player and gives us the best chance to win.
……………
I don’t know what criteria you’re using for this other than “well, Al signed him, so he must be the next great player”, but in 4 seasons Campbell just barely has a better rating than Gradkowki in his one season. Campbell’s is around 82, Gradkowki’s is 80. I think they’re both career backups and I think Gradkowski gives us the better chance, based on what he did against Pittsburgh.

“Doesn’t mean it translates into wins, but it’s immediately better.”
I still await your explanation as to how a team can be better in the NFL without having more wins. What do they keep score for? Why do they have standings? What is the point of a playoff system? The ultimate measuring stick as to how good a team is in a competitive league is….(sound of richochet’s brain cells popping like rice crispies)…WINS AND LOSSES. If you don’t win more games than you had the previous season, you have NOT improved. Let me know if you need more help with that, pissbrain.

===============================================================
The criteria is the stats that each has put up…..if Campbell wasn’t traded for by Davis you wouldnt have a problem with him. Neither is a long term solution IMO, but of the two, judging by what each has done on the field and the numbers that they put up, Campbell is the better player. Campbell had 18 TD’s, 0 ints, 63 percent completion, and a 110 QB rating in the red zone, he has talent and was miscast as a westcoast QB. You know football and you know that Campbell doesn’t belong in a westcoast offense, he is a tradional dropback QB.

===============================================================
Artest will neutralize Pierce, and Rondo will most likely be guarded by 1st team all defense SG Kobe Bryant. Perkins isnt a scorer, sheed is hurt, as is Glen Davis, and garnett will be facing 2 7 footers and the 6′10″ Odom. No Posey to guard Kobe, and Perkins cant guard Bynum and Gasol, and the boston bench is much weaker than 08. Lakers in 6.

[Rolando McClain] can help us out a lot, he can help us in the run; he’s a bigger guy, he can stuff fullbacks in the whole before they even get started. He’s a smart guy, athletic guy, so that’s gonna help us out in the passing game. His intelligence is gonna help us because he is gonna know the defense, he’s gonna know the checks that the offense is making, so he’ll be able to check for us, just like a QB does, he’ll be able to do that for the defense. He can help us out a lot, he’s still gotta get the playbook down and it’s very early for him, training camp can be very difficult for a rookie, so there’s gonna be a learning curve, but hopefully it works out.”

June 1st, 2010 at 6:25 am
DeMarcus Granger played at Oklahoma. They typically do a very good job of coaching their DTs and preparing then for the next level. I don’t know how he’s played since coming into the league but OU is primarily a 4-3 scheme and he might be worth a look. At 24-25 years old he’s got plenty of tread left…
June 1st, 2010 at 6:28 am
He did have some back issues at OU, though; maybe that’s why he was let go by the Seahawks. Still worth a look in my opinion.
June 1st, 2010 at 6:30 am
ET: DeMarcus Granger went undrafted this year.
he’s 6′2″ 302 lbs and 23 years old
released by the Seattle Seahawks on 05/28 (Friday)
cousin of Indiana Pacers Danny Granger …

June 1st, 2010 at 6:36 am
Didn’t know that, Rockstar, thanks. I’m an OU fan and have been since I was very small (my mom’s family is from there and I was indoctrinated early LOL); I remember that when he came to OU he was one of the top-ranked DTs coming out of high school and we beat out Texass (two “s” on purpose) for him. Everybody was pretty fired up to have him, but he struggled with a back injury for most of his college career. Very talented, though. The back thing is probably what kept him from being drafted.
June 1st, 2010 at 6:41 am

went to a BBQ of his last year and had a “hamdog” he said it was OU tradition. hamburger with a sliced hot dog on top in a bun.

I’m sure the upgrades at DE & LB will help the run defense to some extent, just not sure how much.
As you have previously stated, we have 5 new starters in the front seven. Do they have time to gel and become one cohesive unit that can shed blockers & tackle well ??? do they have “Raider speed” ?
Sounds as if John Marshall & Hue Jackson have the freedom to do as they please as long as it produces positive results. If they fall flat on thier faces, expect Al Davis to intervene, rather than than knowing changes will sometimes lead to a slow start like a plane ready for take off
and I know everybody is amped about Seymour playing DT on first and second downs, occupying 2 blockers and allowing TK to wreak havoc inside, but I’m still skeptical. I sticking with the “we’ll see” approach until they prove to be effective in actual games. Seymour, Kelly, Bryant & Joseph were all here last year when we finished 29th in run defense. I’m expecting better results, but 22nd-28th type results don’t excite me. I wouldn’t be satisfied with that.

And I have to agree with what a lot of Br ien says about LA. Phil Jackson dissed Mexicans big time by coming out in support of the Arizona law. Like 90% of Laker fans in LA are Mexican. Let Nelson or any Golden State coach take a racist political stance and the town would shut Oracle down. LA doesn’t care. No heart.
******************************
Remember Phil Jackson in 2005 when NBA instituted the dress code rule saying HE WANTS THE THUG AND HIP HOP ELEMENT out of the NBA? Lol too funny

Phil Jackson is great mastermind when it comes to basketball but he is a piece of shyt as a person.
The Hip Hop element sure helped you getting more money Phil!

Seymour the Nose Tackle? These people gotta stop using drugs….Raiders will have no choice but to find a run stuffer for that defense or they are in trouble again…We dont have one guy that can do that on our roster. If you think otherwise…YOU ARE A LOSER
***
ROG: as you know, I Agree.
However, Cable himself said that Kelly & Bryant can play NT. Jhill and others didn’t just make that up.
It’s Seymour playing exclusively at DE that concerns me. If Houston is as good as advertised, he’s good enough to start at DE opposite Shaughnessy. little Richard got the DE Tag, which is at least $5 million more than the DT Tag for just one season.
I hear people saying “he’ll play all over the D-Line to create mismatches” because thats what he did last year. well he didn’t help the run defense and only got 4 sacks last year too. so either he’s playing down to the level of competition when matched up against lesser talent or he’s overrated coming from a Patriots defense that was pretty solid last year without him. He looked dominant in 2 or 3 games last year out of 16. Thats pretty much what we were getting from Warren or Sands … I expect better results. If moving him around makes him less productive – stop doing it!

Granted Boston was fresh at the beginning of the playoffs as Doc Rivers planned but the deeper the Magic series went, the older they looked. Home court sure helped them win and gave them an energy boost in game 6, but Lakers have the Home Court advantage.
June 1st, 2010 at 8:17 am
Phil Jackson’s a punk, Br ian. And really I think his politics stems from being p whipped by Jeannie.

Lakers will not be starting Radmanovic
Lakers will not be playing Sasha in the 4th quarter

Lakers have Bynum, even if he is only 70%

June 1st, 2010 at 8:23 am
I think NBA coaches and baseball managers are overrated. Those games really coach themselves. Baseball and basketball are too simple. 11 man football is a lot more complicating from a coache’s standpoint, though. So many different ways of moving the ball down field and so many different defenses to try to stop it. Have you ever seen a real 11 on 11 street football game, where everyone knew what they were doing? Pure chaos. However, you get 10 guys and you’ve got a basketball game.
June 1st, 2010 at 8:24 am

You can have all the great players but you have to have the system to make it work. Phil’s triangle and his ability to make players play as a team is what makes him a GREAT COACH! Sorry to shout. lol By the way, what team won a championship without great players?
Boston, New York, San Antonio, Miami. Nope, all had superstars. So what’s the point?
June 1st, 2010 at 8:29 am

LOL lakers in 5? Lakers too soft to even win one game in Boston!
June 1st, 2010 at 8:31 am
ticketholder, I disagree. Not in baseball and basketball. How many clutch games have the Lakers won thanks to the triangle offense? Has nothing to do with with it. Has to do with Kobe or Fisher dropping that shot. Or Artest with the put in. Those sports come down to players, period.
June 1st, 2010 at 8:31 am
How about when LBJ dominated the Spurs oh wait they got Swept by an old team but its ok , what if Wade goes to Magic what will the LBJ fan club do then Howard and Wade will destroy LBJ.

And what freakin difference is that?
Ron Artest isnt the same defender he used to be. His legs are gone man. He isnt a great perimeter defender like he was 5-6 years ago! Paul Pierce is a crafty hall of fame player who will get him in foul trouble
And what the fuk is he gonna do against Boston’s defense? Exactly…put up 12 a game? lol gonna need more than that to beat Boston
June 1st, 2010 at 8:34 am
Laker fans think Phil Jackson’s triangle offense is more to credit for their 3 straight titles than Kobe/Shaq. That’s what we’re dealing with here, Bri en.
June 1st, 2010 at 8:36 am
LOL Lakers have better players? Let’s run it down MR
Rondo better than Fisher by far
Celtics have 3 for sure Hall of Fame players who have been all stars even up to now!
Celtics shoot better, play better defense and have better bench
You may want to review that better players mumbo jumob
June 1st, 2010 at 8:36 am
TRMR I love my Raiders but come on lets kick all the Halloween Costume guys outta the Coliseum before you call any other fan base retarded. All you need is a Raider jersey some blunts and lotta beer to watch a game leave the dumb outfits home
June 1st, 2010 at 8:36 am
substitutes Rasheed Wallace, Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis, Tony Allen and Nate Robinson have had their moments – and more.
A first-rate performance by the second unit.
“We call ourselves the ‘clenched fist,’” Davis said, “because when you clench your fist, you become strong. Together as one, you become strong. One finger can’t just do the job, unless you’re Steven Seagal or somebody.”
The Celtics don’t need any motion picture action heroes as they head into Tinseltown.
Pierce brings the all-around talent, Garnett the passion, Ray Allen the stoicism, Rajon Rondo the flash and Kendrick Perkins the scowling menace.

ROG give Ron Ron a little credit , Celts bench is better for sure but Kobe will have his Revenge gotta win a Title vs Boston like Magic did he just has too. Allen,KG are both 2 yr older and slipping Pierce is still great but not gonna be silly and not admit Rondo is a huge + for Celts but no Walton or Radmonvich playing huge minutes will be big.
June 1st, 2010 at 8:39 am
Laker idiots…..you havent played any physically challenging team yet inthe playoffs. Boston has and is ready for war. Lakers dont wanna fight. You see Gasol and how soft he looks out there? Boston gonna punk him again and that is for sure

June 1st, 2010 at 8:47 am
Typical spin. Phil’s triangle offense orginated by Sam Barry at USC and later perfected by his longtime assistant with the Bulls and Lakers Tex Winter allows the offense to spread out the defense creating passing lanes and shooting ops. Even though he was double and triple teamed, Kobe still was able to get the ball. Also due to structure, the ability to rebound inside.
Odom and Gasol get great positioning. Besides Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Derek Fisher and Pau Gasol, never won NBA championship titles before their teams adopted the triangle system.
LaBron would never win in Cleveland with Mike Browns poor excuse for an offensive system.
Man I hate getting all worked up. LOL
June 1st, 2010 at 8:47 am
Lakers fans gonna be mighty hurt come June 13th becuz it ends that night…LA wont win one game in Boston

Perkins more reliable Center than that gimp Bynum
Rondo running circles around Fisher
Celtics bench destroying LA’s

The thing about Hopper is that he goes back to the ’50s era. He was in Rebel Without a Cause with James Dean, for crying out loud. That was 15 years before Easy Rider. A lot of people don’t know this but he also directed Colors, which, really, is one of the best cop movies ever made. Told a good story while showing how dirty LAPD’s Crash unit was.
