Mel’s having second thoughts
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 at 9:20 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Upon further review, Mel Kiper Jr. isn’t lukewarm on the Raiders’ draft, after all.
Kiper was in the minority when he gave the Raiders a C-plus on his original post-draft grade, while Oakland’s first-round selection of Rolando McClain, second-rounder Lemarr Houston and linemen Jared Veldheer and Bruce Campbell (third and fourth) were considered decent values at a position of need.
Having been on two pre-draft conference calls involving Kiper, it seemed the pundit was influenced by the fact that the Raiders didn’t take Jimmy Clausen, the Notre Dame quarteback he had targeted for the first round.
Kiper is a big Clausen guy, and who knows, he may be right.
But in a recent “ESPN Insider” assessment (you have to pay extra to get it), Kiper had this to say about the Raiders draft and Houston in particular:
“I’m honestly starting to think I really underrated this guy. I look at the measurables and in terms of combine tests, he’s better almost across the board than Gerald McCoy. But that’s just the athleticism. In terms of tackles for loss he also topped McCoy, playing a similar schedule in the Big 12. He has plenty of size at 6-3, 305 pounds to be a solid part of the Oakland 4-3. If this guy becomes a big impact player early in his career I’ll no longer be surprised. As I look back at what he did, it’s another reason to think I may have undersold what Oakland did in the draft. Houston could be a steal.”
Not sure if Kiper knows if Houston is beginning his Raiders career as an end, and not a tackle, or if it even matters. Most national post-draft stories and evaluations have Houston as a tackle, even if he’s been exclusively outside during practices where media is allowed.
Coach Tom Cable’s rationale is that Houston will be lining up on the strong side over tight ends and winning that matchup, where he’ll be backed by trade aquisition Kamerion Wimberly and immediately upgrade a poor run defense.
Hard to know until they really start hitting how good Houston is, but based on his practices during “non-contact’ workouts, things ought to bet pretty interesting in full pads. He’s already been in a few scuffles.

Interesting!

Kiper STFU you haven’t been to a single OTA. You had your chance, pi$$ off!
June 3rd, 2010 at 9:35 pm
JERRY
I hope you can answer this when you have your next chat blog but has Coach Cable talked about actually having Houston play DT instead of DE like he had previously said?
June 3rd, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Who cares what Kiper thinks right now? If we don’t block or tackle anyone AGAIN this fall it might be another long season!
GO RAIDERS!
JUST WIN BABY!
PLEASE!
June 3rd, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Who cares what Mel Kraper has to say. He is a tool, just like RMR, and Seymour OakDork.
June 3rd, 2010 at 9:38 pm
Well, now that they’ve released JaWalrus, I can show my face on this blog again – I don’t understand why they didn’t pick up Cam thomas in the 4th or 5th to replace Warren and I don’t understand why they don’t keep houston at 3 technique (or even NT since he’s stout enough vs. the run). Having two weak DT’s in the middle of the line is going to kill McClain’s development – even Ray Lewis had a couple off years when siragusa retired and before they drafted Ngata (who I prayed for instead of huff in that draft). Put Tommy Kelly and Seymour at DE, get a real NT like Dan Wilkerson off the FA wire, and keep Houston at the 3 tech and we’ll be solid vs the run and pass. Kelly plays too high vs the run inside and gets pushed out of the way too often – Warren was a natural 3 tech and couldn’t handle double teams, but he’s better than who we have left at the position. Plus Shaugnessy showed some good progress in his rookie year and he’s big enough to hold the POA against the run against the strong side of the formation. Great draft pick Raiders, but use these guys where they belong!
June 3rd, 2010 at 9:42 pm
GOOOOO LAKERS!
June 3rd, 2010 at 9:55 pm
Kiper is a tool. Always has been and always will be.
He invented the importance of his coverage of the draft all on his own. I’ll credit him for inventing something for himself and being able to attach some sort of imaginary importance to it. Hell, some people even buy into it and pay attention. But any way you cut, he is a clown.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Whine when the media rips the Raiders, whine when they compliment the Raiders.

I guess the idea here is to attack the credibility of commenters who criticize Al, in hopes that they’ll leave? Ha ha. Never happening.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:29 pm
I’ve been saying this about Lamarr Houston since draft day before we drafted him. I spent some time really studying this kid he is every bit as good as McCoy. Why he didn’t get the acculades who knows.
I know this Houston is a beast, his athleticism and motor are very rare and he is extremely aggressive. The reason i think he stays at LDE most of the time is he really is a DE with that quickness and agility. If you look at his size it will throw you off, he is a DE. Matt S gets freed up to do what he can do naturally which is be dominant. I saw Matt at Wisconsin play great on one leg. He couldn’t pursue the way you knew he could because of the brace he was wearing.
Now the key to this defense is the 3tech where Seymour will play if he plays lights out we will be dominant. If he’s solid we’ll be solid is really up to his ability to push that pocket and force the HB to bounce it so that Houston and Matt S can make plays.
This will allow McClain to get it done because that front4 should be a real handful. I’m telling you this defense has a chance to be very good. Becauise of the front4 and the front7 overall. Because I think the secondary is very special.
If I’m right no one will blow this team out, we may get beat but this defense will be heard from………..period

If your credibility is being attacked I don’t think Al Davis has anything to do with it. If you have no credibility you have no one but yourself to blame. (See also, richochet, mistabrOwn, Steven Hawking)
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:34 pm
Do you think the defense will be good using man coverage as much as they do? You said teams will max protect, right? Well if a 3rd receiver is being covered either by a LB or S in man coverage, won’t we be vulnerable there? Don’t we have to start playing zone, Priest, before we can expect any improvement, regardless of how much talent we have? Doesn’t Al have to just take his hands off the defense? Completely off, before anything truly changes?
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:35 pm
I don’t care what my credibility is. I’m going to say what I have to say about Al, and I’m never going to leave. The truth always wins out, and I feel it’s on my side far more often than it’s on the side of these little poodles in here constantly trying to defend Al.

============================================
I can tell you exactly why. He was in the same conference as Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy. And let’s not mince words here: those two are EXCELLENT prospects. I also had Lamarr Houston very high on my wish list and I’m sure I can pull my posts saying that beginning in January. Lamarr Houston is a proven high motor player and a proven winner. We should be very happy to have him here.

I have no cred. Fair enough. Like I said, I don’t think I’ve been wrong nearly as much as Al’s poodles in here. But when you’re in the minority, you’re held to a different standard. Such is life. I can deal with the double standard. My credibility is toast, so be it. But I’m not. I’ll continue to talk candidly about Al Davis and the Raiders. Nobody can stop me from doing that. As far as me being wrong or not having credibility, the results will be the true indicator of that, not the snipping of Al’s poodles.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:39 pm
The pieces are certainly in place for this to be a very good defense. McClain is going to have to pick up the pro game quickly. The safety play is also going to have to improve, but it should. If those two things happen, this should be a good defense.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Good update Jerry. I don’t care much for Kiper but it’s still an interesting read that he’s backtracking on our draft. Chump. He was pissed at dang near everyone that passed on Clausen. Went into a friggin tirade during the draft.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:41 pm
What’s kind of funny is everyone wants Ro to be a THUMPER on the inside. Ro isn’t a thumper. Ro makes tackles and Ro makes plays. That’s probably better.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:44 pm
Kiper is useless. Here’s Mel Kiper: “Sam Bradford, should go one, and Suh and McCoy are RARE talents”. Well, Uh, duh. After that, he’s lost. 95% of the draft pickers on this blog know more than Mel Kiper.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:44 pm
Lots of shoulds in there.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:45 pm
Now let’s work on that O-line, Cable. You have Hue to take over the offense from your inept azz. Now you can concentrate on what your good at…or at least what you used to be good at before becoming head coach.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:45 pm
We need a GM who will give us wills, not shoulds. 7 straight years of shoulds. 7 straight years of 11 losses or more.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:47 pm
And I’m really liking what I’m hearing from camp on DHB. I’m liking this kid. Especially is he put in the work as was reported. Not his fault he was drafted that high but give him credit for working this offseason. NO KNUCKLEHEADS!

A lot of the success of this and the next few years of Raider teams will depend on this most recent and the prior years draft. Bill Polian the GM of the Indianapolis Colts says the draft is a complete crapshoot. He’s right. Hence the shoulds.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Every NFL HC is heavily involved on one side of the ball or the other. Some are offensive minded head coaches, some are defensive minded head coaches, but they’re involved with the play calling on one side. If Jackson is running the offense, and Al’s obviously running the defense, what is Cable’s duty? lol. Are they going to fit him into a skirt and give him pom poms?
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:53 pm
One thing that bothers from the fans in here is the insistent implication that Dez Bryant can’t be that good because he was undrafted. That is laughable. How can you watch how this kid played last year and say something that ignorant. Watching DB play as a rookie last year was shocking how talented this kid is and just what kind of player he could become. He is 6′5″ 295 and extemely athletic and explosive. He’s just undeveloped, he didn’t get the coaching at the division level he was at or that kid would’ve been as good as the top drafted kids this year.
It boggles my mind how some people can see a kid perform and then insist that his draft status wont allow him to be any better. He is better, draft status be damned. That’s like saying Tony Romo wont ever win a SB because he was undrafted. It’s absurd, ridiculous and a bunch flat out crap.
There are thousnads of reasons why kids get drafted where they get drafted and a lot of them have nothing to do with what he can do long term. Most players get drafted high based on ability to start immediately. You could be a better player and get drafted in the 6th rnd because they determine may take you 3 years to develope. And that is the case with Bruce Campbell, who IMO has Gene Upshaw type talent but he’s just very raw. As a result he drops to the th rnd. But in 3 years he could develope into the best OG in that draft. And it’s realy just that simple.
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:53 pm
So you think we’ll be successful this year? Care to make a prediction, Seymour?
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:55 pm
Or, when you say successful, do you mean it the way Richochet does? Same record, yet still improved merely because Russell is gone? lol
June 3rd, 2010 at 10:56 pm
If Jackson is running the offense, and Al’s obviously running the defense, what is Cable’s duty? lol. Are they going to fit him into a skirt and give him pom poms?
=================================================
Pretty much, minus the skirt and pom poms. He’ll work with the O-line, I’m sure and get a little involved here and there on both sides of the ball. But, yeah, he’s essentially expected to motivate these guys and be a ‘leader of men’. I mean, read the camp updates…It’s obviously Hue’s offense from what we’ve read so far. And the defense? Yeah, we all know Cable isn’t going to be too involved on that side.
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:01 pm
Ha ha ha!!! So, our head coach is really just the offensive line coach? And you guys are saying things have changed?
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Seymour
I’d have to submit to your reasoning because when I watch Houston and then McCoy if there was a difference it was marginal. Now Suh I will agree was a more stout and better player at the POA. But as far as everything else Houston was right there.
To get Houston in the 2nd rnd IMO was a steal. As good as McClain is at his position Houston is right there at his. That kid will make a ton of plays for the Raiders. McClain will be good, Houston will be great.
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Why not just make Hue the head coach and demote Cable to o line coach? Oh, because that would be bad for team morale. So instead, Hue’s really the head coach and Tom is really just the o line coach. Such a pecking order is definitely a recipe for success. A head coach who knows he’s nothing. Now that’s chemistry.
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:04 pm
I would agree with you on that. Draft status has no bearing on future success. Plenty of good talent drafted late. I don’t understand why people were so infatuated with that fat fk Cody.
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:06 pm
Just caught the tail-end of tonight’s NFL Total Access show on the NFLN. They wrapped up with a top-10 most controversial calls in NFL history. Interesting trend atop the list:
No. 3 – The uncalled fumble by the Broncos on the Raiders’ goalline in the 1977 AFC Championship game.
No. 2 – The Tuck Rule game.
No. 1 – The Immaculate Reception.
So the three most-controversial calls of all-time came on decisive plays in the playoffs. But us Raiders fans are just delusional and paranoid about the refs being out to get us, riiiight.
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:08 pm

MR
Cable is the HC, as HC you oversee the entire team. If you don’t have the security in your position to trust strng leadership at the Coordinator level then you can take the O or the D. But most HC don’t do either. Mike Tomlin is not over the O or the D his expertise is on D but he has Dick Labaeu. Same with Singletary look over the league over half the HC don’t run either side of the ball. But of course you wouldn’t know. Same ol’ MR………. clueless.
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:18 pm
Try Some Reality, my sarcasm obviously flew over your head. I’m making fun of the fact that Cable obviously is not the real head coach anymore. A real NFL head coach is heavily involved with the playcalling/scheme on at least one side of the ball. If Hue Jackson’s running the offense, and of course Davis is running the defense, where does that leave Cable? With pom poms and a skirt. Sure, he’s not demoted on paper, but he might as well be. Your name is try some reality. Try it.
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:20 pm
Priest, every single HC in the league is heavily involved with one side of the ball or the other. Mike Tomlin doesn’t do either, and look at what’s happening to Pittsburgh. Same with Dick Leabeu. Singletary not involved? Sure you don’t want to rethink that before standing by it? I’ll give you a chance to recant.

I never said every head coach runs one side of the ball or the other, just that they are heavily involved. Nice attempt to twist my words to taint my point, priest. Singletary doesn’t run the Niner defense, but he’s certainly heavily involved with personnel and scheme, to a level that Cable will never know again on either side of the ball in Oakland.

Cable is yet learning how to be a good HC at this level. Bringing in strong Coordinators is a HUGE help to him. He can learn from them tactically speaking and get the assistance he needs. He can become a great HC as did Madden and Flores who had very strong assistants. They learned and became HOF calibre HC’s.
Cable is getting the best training available. 3 years from now he’ll be ready to run this team top to bottom. He just needs to be patient.

Well, most of us anyway. So are you looking forward to this season? I still have concerns about the O-line but a QB that actually knows what he’s doing coupled with Cable able to focus more of his attention in that area might help.
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:53 pm
See what I mean about comprehension. That’s their expertise but they aren’t the coordinators. That is my point most coaches have strengths on one side of the ball or the other.
There’s nothe wrong with either way it’s whatever the HC chooses it’s not a knock against him if he’s not a dominant presence in either because his job is to be the HC ………….period

Priest – I’m not so sure about Cable running this team top to bottom but I agree with giving him assistance. He was obviously in over his head with the offense. Any fan could see that abandoning the run in favor of the pass with the personnel we had was a disaster in the making. That said, I’m glad he has help. And, from what we’ve read, he’s a good leader (at least the O-line guys swear by him). Seems to work well with Davis too, which is a must. I think it was a great move to bring in Jackson. I like the guy’s energy and fire. The offense needs some attitude.

Mel Kiper Jr. is a national laughing stock for his hair alone. But I would love to have his job! Check my post after the draft, I stated that we could finally hold our heads up high. Unfortunately most Raider coaches have been puppets lately. What do we consider a successful season this year? 7-9, 8-8? Am I crazy to even bother writing anything above .500? It just feels like we are off to a fresh start.

June 4th, 2010 at 6:18 am
I watched the last part of the 3rd quarter and the first part of the 4th quarter in last nights Boston/LA matchup.
I saw Garnett miss a WIDE OPEN layup and followed tip in. Big Baby missed a WIDE OPEN jump shot after Rondo drew 3 defenders in the paint to him and kicked it out. Rasheed threw the ball out of bounds after a rebound and checked Gasol for no apparent reason a short time later. the Lakers were getting all the calls and no-calls. pathetic game all the way around.
not sure if this describes the entire game. just what I saw in the limited amount I watched. 1-0 Lake Show
i’m sure all the purple & yellow Hollywood fans will be here soon declaring they just won the NBA finals, like they did last series before the Suns tied it at 2-2 and then the blog was silent (crickets)
we’ll see. it’s far from over
June 4th, 2010 at 6:19 am
Like anybody besides Mel Kiper cares what Mel Kiper thinks.
Pffft.
June 4th, 2010 at 6:25 am
Pierce, Garnett, Perkins, Rondo, R. Allen, Davis, Wallace & T. Allen = 89 points
Gasol, Artest, Bynum, Fisher, Odom, Brown & Farmar = 72 points
Bryant = 30 points. he was the difference
gotta do a better job against him

The Lakers came out and played a tough, physical game and pushed the Celtics! It was a good game for them. Now I’m not going to come out and say that we just won the Finals, because I won’t…but I do know that if Artest has another game like that while everyone else is clicking…Kobe will get his 5. And remember…Kobe only had one (1) point until 3 seconds left in the 4th quarter…until he hit that 3!
June 4th, 2010 at 6:36 am
Rockstar,
McShay is paid by ESPN to be a foil for Kiper. It makes for better television (that’s the theory, anyway). It’s why they have guys on the panels that disagree with each other; gets Joe Couch Potato on one side or the other and he keeps watching. Simple as that.
Mayock is a professional, who actually played in the NFL. He probably feels about Kiper the way most folks do that actually understand the game: the guy’s all mouth and no trousers.
Good morning, LMN; what was the party for?
June 4th, 2010 at 6:37 am
how are they going to do a better job on him

it’s not impossible to keep Bryant under 30 points and it’s not impossible to keep Gasol under 20 points either.
is it hard to imagine the Celtics shooting better than .433 including 1/10 from 3-point range ???

If you are going to sit here and try and compare a football defense stopping a RB to stopping a SG in basketball, then you would probably be on an island with that one. Honestly, I think that is one of your worst takes ever. Very un RRS like.
Chris Johnson could be tackled by anyone of 11 guys.
Kobe Bryant is going to have a primary defender on him.
Don’t see the comparison.
June 4th, 2010 at 7:07 am

Houston & Matt S at DE, and Seymour, TK & Bryant should play DT:
Maybe that’s why his contract is not done. We want to pay him as a DT, and he wants DE money.
Good Morning.

yes, his man is primarily responsible, like our DT’s are primarily responsible …
but in the paint a C and/or PF can help (DE’s, MLB)

Ok, just for the F of it
My projections for the 2010 season
Record 8-8
Jason Campbell- 270 completions 450 attempts 3650 yards 22 tds 12 Int’s
Michael Bush 222 carries for 1,000 yrds and 9 rushing td’s~~ 25 receptions for 2 td’s
Darren McFadden 125 carries for 560 yards and 3 rushing td’s and 55 receptions for 412 yards and 5 rec. td’s
I have no idea what is going to happen with our receiving corp but I will give a guess on our TE
Zach Miller 71 rec. 816 yards and 6 td’s
Now, I am not guaranteeing any of this. The only thing I am guaranteeing is that the Raiders WILL win more than 5 games this year. I am so sure of this that I already posted on here and stated that if they don’t, I will mail RMR $100
June 4th, 2010 at 7:16 am
I am expecting Scott, Wimbley, and Groves to line up at DE in passing situations, and yes I expect to see Mitchell rushing the passer at least 4 or 5 times a game.
June 4th, 2010 at 7:16 am
Matt S: 11 sacks
Houston: 7 sacks
Seymour: 6 sacks

NICE! I’ll take it
from DE ShoNasty, Seymour, Ellis, Scott & Richardson combined for 25 sacks last year
Scott & Ellis tied for the team lead in sacks last year (7) and both are no longer DE’s. somebody needs to step it up!
June 4th, 2010 at 7:19 am
Jhill: DT’s aren’t primarily responsible for stopping the run?
ok man. you win (rolled eyes)
on Al Davis’ D-Line everyone’s a pass rusher…
nobody is assigned to stop the run except for the MLB & SS. thats why they are tackling machines each year
June 4th, 2010 at 7:25 am
Matt S had 5/6 last year as a Rookie, so I think he will improve his #s with more playing time.
T Scott will get his 5-7 sacks, and so will Seymour.
Houston should be a Solid Base End, and I see him getting 5-7 sacks.

We all know the draft is a crap shoot and Mel makes his money off of making BS predictions based on what he hears from scouts and others who really know the game.
8 out of 10 he is dead wrong!!!
I think we made the best bang for our buck this year. You don’t know how these rookies will turn out but they have to give Al Davis and the scout team points for where they selected these players of need and their value. You can’t get possible first round potential in every round of the draft. Lets anayze our picks.
McClain, Rolando LB (#1 pick value, great work ethic)
Houston, Lamarr DT (#1 pick value, great motor & work out #s)
Veldheer, Jared OT (Had high marks and we needed a OT)
Campbell, Bruce OT (#1 pick value in some draft polls)
Ford, Jacoby WR (Effective WR in college and KR. We needed him our special teams sucks!)
McFadden, Walter DB (Best picks at this point and he is a ball hawk DB and we play What Mel? Man to Man!!!)
Goethel, Travis LB (Best pick another special teams player)
Ware, Jeremy DB (Best available we play man to man)
Brown, Stevie DB (Best available we play man to man)
Also Mel, we traded and got a QB who already know what he can do. Russell took Al to the bank and you want him to take another QB in the first round and gamble more cash? You are an idiot Mel!

Watch out for Garnett’s elbows in game 2. He tries to intimidate when outplayed. Wallace and Garnett are dirty players and that’s known throughout the NBA.
June 4th, 2010 at 8:29 am
As the interview with Kobe showed, he is head and shoulders above James. He does more studying of the game and players to get better than King does. Greatness is earned on the court, not proclaimed by oneself.

The Chargers also signed free agent tight end Randy McMichael to a one-year contract.
The nine-year veteran started all but one of the 116 games he played for the Miami Dolphins and St. Louis Rams since entering the league in 2002.
He played under Norv Turner when the Chargers’ coach was the offensive coordinator in Miami in 2002-03.

A little boy blows up a balloon and starts flicking it all around the house with his finger. His mother tells him to stop it as he’s liable to break something, but the boy continues.
“Johnny!” Mom screams. “Knock it off.” You’re going to break something.
He stops and eventually Mom leaves for a short trip to the shopping center.
Johnny starts up with the balloon again after his mom has left for the store. He gives it one last flick and it lands in the toilet where he leaves it.
Mom comes in and while putting away the grocery gets the urge, A diarrhea run. She can hardly make it to the toilet in time and SPLASH, out it comes.
When she’s finished, she looks down and can’t believe what she’s seeing.
She’s not sure what this big brown thing is in the toilet! She calls her doctor. The doctor is baffled as she describes the situation, but he assures her he’ll be over shortly to examine everything.
When he arrives she leads him to the bath room and he gets down on his knees and takes a long, hard look at the thing. Finally, he takes out his pen and sort of touches it to see what it might be and POP! The balloon explodes and poop is everywhere. On him, the walls, etc.
“Doctor! Doctor! Are you all right?” she asks.
He says, “I’ve been in this business for over 30 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever actually seen a fart !”

RR
Any interest in Merriman?
June 4th, 2010 at 9:50 am
how much better would the Cavs be if they had Gasol, Artest & Odom instead of Jamison, Hickson & Varejao ???
Powe = Exercised Contract Option on 05/18 (does that mean he’s staying or going?)
Shaq = 38 years old. time to go to the Jazz, Blazers, Mavs, Nuggets, Spurs or Thunder. some other team in the West that thinks they are on the brink of greatness and could use a big body in the paint for 12-15 good minutes
June 4th, 2010 at 9:53 am

Nowitzki or Yao.
June 4th, 2010 at 9:54 am

DSH: I wouldn’t trade for him (unless they’d take Nick Miller & Marcel Reece)
but if he was a free agent? Hmmm..
I’d still have to say no due to the trades for Groves & Wimbley and the conversion of Trevor Scott from DE to WLB.
Merriman over Brown, Alston, Williams, Nixon or Norris? in a heartbeat!
June 4th, 2010 at 9:57 am

pretty clever Ted.
and I agree with you about the Raiders being good “on paper” but not on the field. I’m not deceived by that in thinking Jason Campbell & Hue Jax make all the difference. the O-Line, RB’s & WR’s all have a lot to prove on offense, as does the D-Line
June 4th, 2010 at 10:02 am
Finally some positive optimism about the upcoming season. With the good offseason moves, the draft, and the release of JaLoser things are starting to look up. Can’t wait to see our defense, should be improved..
June 4th, 2010 at 10:03 am
Woohoo! Get your cups ready cuz it’s time to pour some Kool-Aid!
Sensible draft + Competent QB + DHB finally catching balls + new blood on O-line + Hue Jackson + Houston + McClain + weak schedule = .500 team or better.

Merriman and Marshawn Lynch are pretty good players (well, Merriman used to be anyway) but both have character issues.

yeah. Al Davis has changed his ways. Not sure if he’s been influenced by somebody or has washed his hands of guys with character flaws.
Terrell Owens is the perfect example. available this year and last year with almost no suitors. the old Davis would have snagged him in a heartbeat and said screw team chemistry and the locker room
June 4th, 2010 at 10:17 am
I’m pretty sure Buffalo would take a 4th rounder for him at this point and possibly a 5th rounder.
Bush, for his size, is really not a physical runner. He has way more 50 yard runs than powerful 12 yard carries when he runs through tacklers.
I actually think Bennett, if healthy, can help, but Lynch is clearly way better.

I would laugh my head off if Bennett & Cartwright outplay Bush & McFadden this year …
June 4th, 2010 at 10:36 am
Rockstar,
I may be in the minority here, but I believe that Al thought you could treat players the same way today that you could in the past; like men that could be responsible for themselves and if you paid them well and took care of them they would sell out for you on the field.
He’s realized over the past several years that things have changed; that a good number of todays’ athletes are in it for the money and only the money, and could care less about how they perform or how they represent the organization.
Whether somebody helped him realize this, or whether he just figured it out on his own after getting burned so many times lately is a matter for speculation, but I agree with you; he has changed his ways on this issue.
That’s why I don’t think we’ll be seeing any “knuckleheads” in the foreseeable future.

Agreed. Cable said last offseason that 90 percent of the players that don’t “get it” are off the roster.
now that Russell, Walker, Green & Warren are out i’m pretty sure it’s much less than 10 percent of guys on the team that don’t get it or perhaps as you’ve described “knuckleheads”

I agree with the zero-tolerance, but it seems as if Cable and Action Jackson aren’t taking any sh1t. If picking these guys up and keeping them straight works great, if not, cut them.
Not promoting Merriman or Lynch, just posting some thoughts. Seems as if we are really getting some solid pieces in place.
Still, we need to work on the O-Line, everything else is just gravy.
June 4th, 2010 at 10:56 am
as soon as Pears, Eugene, Nick Miller & Marcel Reece are off the roster I suspect this team will be dont get it/knucklehead free
Lawton & Barnes are borderline… close enough to merit a cut or at least a broken jaw imo
GM Southwick, you free on Tuesday?
June 4th, 2010 at 11:03 am
since 2003 Shayne Graham has been one of the NFL’s best kickers.
in fact, he’s the 5th most accurate kicker in NFL history … Cincy tagged him last year
yesterday he signed with the Ravens and has to compete for a job with former Cowboys/Bucs/Packers/Saints/Falcons/Chiefs/Lions/Browns scrub Billy Cundiff for the job.
amazing how fast things can change in the NFL, isn’t it ???
June 4th, 2010 at 11:07 am
in other words … trade Nick Miller & Marcel Reece for Shayne Graham!
June 4th, 2010 at 11:10 am
I haven’t heard any Huff or Mitchell talk in here in a long time…..I wonder how good our secondary will be with an improved run defense?
June 4th, 2010 at 11:17 am
SNB: Huff & Branch are studs
Mitchell will be on the field in 3 safety sets, blitz packages, special teams and perhaps even at FS if Huff plays nickel/dime corner
gotta be creative and finds ways to get MM34 on the field. find out what this kid is made of
June 4th, 2010 at 11:18 am
I have high hopes for the secondary.
We need W-MAC to step up and take the nickel spot from Routt, AND Eugene to stay off the field except for special teams play.
Branch, Huff, and Mitchell are studs in my book.
June 4th, 2010 at 11:18 am
Nick Miller is no knucklehead!
June 4th, 2010 at 11:20 am
in regards to the article posted on #205, i can absolutely agree that our offensive line will still be a weak spot next season. we drafted two projects and our best lineman is coming off back surgery… and the fact that we loss by blow-out fashion so many times last year, i can only see us making them a little closer this year with a new qb but the same o-line.
/////////////////
i’m heavily in favor of signing or trading for a big body at the nt position to occupy blockers to let mcclain operate. for now its all smoke & mirrors as to how we’re gonna stop the run.
June 4th, 2010 at 11:20 am
Houston at DE makes absolutely no sense considering that this team is stacked at DE (Shaugnessy, Scott, Seymore) and extremly thin at DT. What am I missing??

Our D-ends were getting abused against the run last year, mainly Richardson and Scott. It looks like we are moving our pass rushers to the OLB spots and deploying more stout ends.

Right now we have Seymour, ShoNasty, Houston, Richardson, Gunheim, Daniels at DE
Kelly, Bryant, Joseph, Cooper, Boschetti, Heard at DT

Move the chains, juice the clock, and score points on offense. Then, “run-stuffing NT” won’t be an issue.

I don’t recall our O-line ever being healthy in the last couple of years.

bright side is, J-Camp is used to a poor o-line.

Kell sees it differently. He’s backed Russell on more than one occasion while everybody else hated on the youngster because we gave him 2 rookie WR’s, a terrible O-Line, 4 play callers & 2 HC’s in 3 years and your favorite fumble/injury prone wild hog in the backfield with crash test dummy. In other words, JaMarcus didn’t have a chance (as Jerry Mac also put it) – ie. Al Davis ruined him
JR wowed every scout in the country and as soon as he became a part of the Raiders organization his once promising career was flushed right down the toilet.

BSJ: in my eyes and probably yours JaMarcus is/was a huge bust and the blame is placed squarely upon his shoulders.
Kell sees it differently. He’s backed Russell on more than one occasion while everybody else hated on the youngster because we gave him 2 rookie WR’s, a terrible O-Line, 4 play callers
—————————————
You called me out on my faulty logic regarding LeBron vs Russell. Instead of addressing that with me. You turn to Bo and change the subject to me and Russell. Weak.
June 4th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Seymour Bush called me out too. Regarding Michael Oher’s year.
S.Bush……….waiting……..
June 4th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Kell: both you and Bo commented on that comparison of THE SITUATION between GM and franchise player (Cavs/Raiders) so I addressed both of you in 1 post
I appologize for any confusion I may have caused

Let’s analyze the latest KrappyKell blast of senile nonsense -
“With the historical knowledge I provide”
1 stat. His historical knowledge is 1 stat. Total.
“My keen insights developed over 44 years of analyzing the Raiders”
It took Krappy 44 years of intense, consistent analysis to realize that he hates Al Davis.
“My willingness to take on the Trolls in defense of my weaker comrades”
The weakest blogger around is Krappy himself, so he’s basically bragging about basic self defense – a characteristic human beings (and turtles) are born worth.
Krappy …. If you weren’t so fun to humiliate, I might actually start feeling sorry for you and your wife’s bowl cut.
Not!

Glad to see you back on here but dude give it a rest already with Al the slimeball. We all know he’s a slimeball and sucked. He admitted as much that he is in charge during these past 7 years. However, America loves a comeback story. Jerry is right. If the Raiders are back this year, they’re going to celebrate Al even stronger than before. Get ready for that bandwagon bro. Even slimeball Kiper is reaching out for the wagon.

I think Lamarr Houston was rated 3rd round because of the depth at DT in this past draft.
He also had a DWI in 2008, but his “lack of ideal bulk” for the interior line may have had a hand in that rating too.
He is extremely agile for a 300 lb.er and RELENTLESS. Versatile and regularly lined up in the 5 technique.
Kiper was right about Houston…the second time.

Hue Jackson, offensive coordinator:
No coach in recent years has had such a positive influence on the team in such a short time. He wants his offense to have a pace, the players to be accountable of their assignments and ultimately, production out of a grouping that has been one of the worst in the league in recent years. Plan A – get the offensive line straightened out and functioning. That will lead to plan-b: to pound the football on the ground with his talented rushers. The next plan, which will be an easier task with the competent passers on the roster, is expanding Oakland’s playbook, making them harder to defend with a variety of formations and a viable passing attack

Great post Fat kidd #390
June 4th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
Examining the Oakland Raiders 2010 Schedule Part II….. Last week we walked through the first half of Oakland’s schedule for the 2010 season, peering at the future through rose colored glasses. This week, we continue to examine the upcoming schedule. Next week, the spectacles come off.
WEEK NINE – Kansas City rolls into Oakland and upsets the high flying Raiders right before their bye week. The media goes crazy, announcing this mid season loss to the underachieving division rivals as the beginning of the end for Oakland’s playoff hopes. Oakland 6-3
WEEK TEN – Coach Cable spends the entire bye week fielding questions on the teams sudden catastrophic collapse, as if Oakland burned to the ground when the Chiefs stole a victory.
WEEK ELEVEN – Hot on the heels of a bye week, and licking their chops at the chance to take it to the hated Steelers, Oakland travels to western Pennsylvania and lays the smack down on Pittsburgh at the hands of Jason Campbell, Louis Murphy and Jacoby Ford. Oakland 7-3
WEEK TWELVE – The Tuna comes to town, says hello to his old friend Al Davis and stuns the Silver and Black with a handful of trick plays that leave the newly revitalized Raider defense looking like the same team that gave away points like government bailout money in ’09. Oakland 7-4
WEEK THIRTEEN – Philip Rivers and a revitalized Charger unit, remembering their week five loss in Oakland, borrows some trickery from the Tuna and gives the Raiders their first back to back losses of the season. Oakland 7-5
WEEK FOURTEEN – The media chants “same old Raiders” as they travel to Jacksonville and get trumped by Jack Del Rio in a last ditch effort to save his job. Oakland 7-6
WEEK FIFTEEN – Just as everyone has written off the Raiders as a contender, they welcome Denver to Oakland in a penalty and turn over ridden game that shuts down Denver’s playoff dreams and keep’s Oakland in the wild card hunt. Oakland 8-6
WEEK SIXTEEN – With their hopes and dreams of the first playoff appearance since 2002 on the line, Oakland must match up against Peyton Manning and the Colts. Unfortunately for the Silver and Black, Manning only chokes in games where everything is on the line and after refusing to let Coach Caldwell bench him at the end of the season again, Peyton Manning and his Colts piece up the Oakland defense and destroy the Raiders 38-10. Oakland 8-7
WEEK SEVENTEEN – Still in the hunt for a Wild Card but needing lots of help from others, Oakland aims for Arrowhead, where they exact revenge on the Chiefs, securing the sixth seed in the AFC and proving Oakland’s detractors wrong. Oakland 9-7

June 4th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
WEEK ONE – Oakland travels to Tennessee to face the Titans at LP Field. Since moving to Tennessee, the Oilers/Titans franchise has essentially owned the Raiders and odds are that will continue this year as Chris Johnson and the Titans offense knows all about exploiting holes in the run defense. Oakland 0-1.
WEEK TWO – In the home opener, the reeling St. Louis Rams travel to the Black Hole where Jason Campbell thrills Raider Nation by picking apart the Rams’ porous secondary. Rookie linebacker Rolando McClain proves he was worth the 8th pick in the draft by blowing up St. Louis players left and right and the city of Oakland celebrates like it’s 1976. Oakland 1-1
WEEK THREE – The Raiders are on the road again, this time to the desert where they destroyed the Cardinals 41-20 in 2002, one of the Raider’s last great games before the fall. This one could go either way, but based on Matt Leinart’s development and the sheer mass of Raider fans in Phoenix rocking the nest, we’ll go Raiders in a last minute nail biter. Oakland 2-1
WEEK FOUR- That other Houston team, the Texans, travels to the Black Hole this week. With all the controversy surrounding ROY Brian Cushing and all-pro wideout Andre Johnson, expect the Texans to have an off year. But, that won’t stop them from beating Oakland at home while they’re still on the high from last week’s win in the desert. Oakland 2-2.
WEEK FIVE – In the first back to back home games of 2010, the Chargers come to town. This time, minus LT and most likely minus Shawn Merriman. While Philip Rivers may still have several other weapons, the buck stops here and Rivers goes home crying one. Oakland 3-2.
WEEK SIX – The closest road game possible sees Oakland sail across the bay to San Francisco. While the 49ers win the battle in coaching and personnel, Cable, Jackson and Campbell are making believers out of their fellow Raiders and it shows. Oakland 4-2.
WEEK SEVEN – Forget the rest of the season, forget the playoffs, forget everything. When the Silver and Black rolls into the Mile High City, beating the Denver Broncos is all that matters. And, for the first time in a long time, Oakland strings together three wins, Al Davis smiles down from the owner’s box and Raider Nation starts chanting “SuperBowl”. Oakland 5-2.
WEEK EIGHT – Some may call this USC North versus USC West as the Pete Carroll led Seattle Seahawks travel to Oakland for a game predicted to be littered with offensive finesse but remembered as an ugly slobber knocker. Carroll goes back to the Pac-10 remembering why he left the NFL in the first place. Oakland 6-2.
June 4th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
Hue Jackson is running the offense. Al’s running the defense, obviously. The Raiders have the only coach in the league with little to no involvement with either the offensive or defensive playcalling/scheme. A literal cheerleader. Bugel and Shell all over again. Even Norv Turner and Callahan had significant control over offensive playcalling. What a disaster.

=================
Titans aren’t the same defense with out Haynseworth and Van Den Bosch. Chris Johnson’s hold out is deathly serious and COULD extend into the season. At the least it could affect his readiness week 1 if he holds out thru camp.
Kevin Mawae may or may not be under center.
their #1 Wr last year Kenny Britt is fat and out of shape. (Sounds familiar for some reason…)
Jeff Fisher won’t even let him practice.

Week one is NOT a write off for Oakland.
June 4th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
Week 4 against the Texans:
Oakland quit in the 2nd half of last years match up losing 29-6.
Fargas getting tackled for a safety in the end zone pre ceeded the down fall.
However in week 16 of the 2008 season Oakland DOMINATED the Texans with some great play and BRUTAL hitting on both sides of the ball.
Hiram Eugene laid out the Leagues leading receiver Andre Johnson and DMC sent Dunta Robinson comically staggering off the field with an unreported concusion.
With Oaklands upgrades and with R.O.Y. on ROIDS Brian Cushing sitting out, this game imo, SHOULD be a victory for the Raiders, not the Texans
June 4th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
change 9-7 to 11-5
June 4th, 2010 at 10:41 pm

Now that I think of it, the skins should have given the Saints their first loss last year. Brees threw an int and the DB got stripped of the ball by Meachem who scored a TD on the play. The Saints were done if that fluke doesn’t happen. That was the game where a guy down here became a youtube hit by betting against the Saints. His Big Screen TV was shot to death on youtube.

The deflector commonly takes the form of a dish-shaped force beam generator containing heavy-duty subspace accelerators at the extreme forward end of the vessel’s secondary hull. It performs its primary function by emitting low-power deflector shields to deflect microscopic particles and higher-powered deflector beams and/or tractor beams to deflect larger objects.

As much as I hate the Lakers I must call it like I see it so congrats on game 1.
But…….game 2 is tomorrow and you can ill-afford to be too proud right now. Boston is a fighting squad and will play better tomorrow. An LA win all but sure puts the stranglehold on the series. If Beantown takes it, expect the series to end in 5. I’ll stand by it

I’ve been saying this about Lamarr Houston since draft day before we drafted him. I spent some time really studying this kid he is every bit as good as McCoy. Why he didn’t get the acculades who knows.
I know this Houston is a beast, his athleticism and motor are very rare and he is extremely aggressive. The reason i think he stays at LDE most of the time is he really is a DE with that quickness and agility. If you look at his size it will throw you off, he is a DE. Matt S gets freed up to do what he can do naturally which is be dominant. I saw Matt at Wisconsin play great on one leg. He couldn’t pursue the way you knew he could because of the brace he was wearing.
Now the key to this defense is the 3tech where Seymour will play if he plays lights out we will be dominant. If he’s solid we’ll be solid is really up to his ability to push that pocket and force the HB to bounce it so that Houston and Matt S can make plays.
This will allow McClain to get it done because that front4 should be a real handful. I’m telling you this defense has a chance to be very good. Becauise of the front4 and the front7 overall. Because I think the secondary is very special.
If I’m right no one will blow this team out, we may get beat but this defense will be heard from………..period
*****************************************
Shaughnessy dominant? BHP come on bruh…I want the guy to be our RDE if anything but Lamarr Houston may be that guy. Sadly we will play him at LDE where Seymour should be starting. Seymour a 3 tech guy in the base defense? You need your head examined by the nearest doctor. Seymour on passing downs I can see but forget him play 4-3 DT all game. This will not work. Henderson or Haynesworth need to be brought to Oakland pronto

476. I don’t see us adding Haynesworth. Always injured, kind of a pain in the azz and probably expensive as all get out.
Some say Hendersons done. Could be why teams aren’t interested.
Maybe Oaklands hoping its increased size at LB is an answer.
Houston’s actually supposed to be very good against the run and a sure tackler.
Fingers crossed.
June 5th, 2010 at 5:03 pm

June 5th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
Seymour and Houston will see some time inside, and even if it is a passing down, teams still had big runs on 3rd and 12 up the middle on us at times in the past few years.
Things are improving. McClain in a few years will be running a top tier defense, I have no doubts in my mind of this.
June 5th, 2010 at 5:05 pm

I don’t think Campbell is trash, we got him for nothing and he is a huge upgrade. Just a good solid, really no-lose pick-up.
But I don’t think Campbell will be our QB for the next 10 years. I’m not even sure if he will be our QB for the next 4 years.
The key will be a good start. If he is crisp in the preseason, the job will be all his and he could have his best pro year. He’s never led a team over .500, so hopefully he will be trying to win at all costs to change the “stigma”.

lakers are going to win the series no doubt i hope it last to game seven so we all can have a nail biter that would be the most realistic outcome i mean who the hell wants to see a blowout in a championship game if that is the case one of those teams should not have been there in the first place!!!! game 7 lakers win it cuz they are a better team and well KOBE
June 5th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
and houston i hope turns ou tto be a beast from what i hear he is our D hase been upgraded for sure from last season mostly cuz its marshals second season in oaktown but our DT is still week.
June 5th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
If Campbell comes in and shows any kind of work ethic and professionalism, his teammates will rally around him. The guy has a big arm, is accurate and Jerry said he looked fairly mobile.
The Raiders beat some good teams last year and were competitive in others. With some consistant and competant play at QB, this team could be fun to watch.

Hey Boy!
Dikd you not see Matt S play last year? even as a part time starter he was very good and sometimes dominant. He was playing LDE which is not his strength. His strength is RDE coming off the edge with power and speed. He was drafted in the 3rd rnd ecause he was coming off a knee. This is a top teir talent wether you realize it or not. I’m not sure that Seymour has ever played LDE he was the DE in a 3/4 not exactly what you’re looking for in a rush end on passing downs. On the other hand Matt S is exactly what you’re looking for. Not to mention that Houston has played DE and did it very well. He is much more atletic than Seymour. Seymour is a prototype 3tech. He is disruptive and aggressive has pass rush skills from the DT position. If you had any insight worth a damn it’s easy to see why they drafted Houston to play LDE. In fact it is a brilliant move because it gives Matt the chance to do what he does best. Get after the QB in the base end he had ther responsibilities. At RE his jo b is to get the QB on passing downs. Seymour is not even close to Houston and Matt as far as flatout pass rush he’s too methodical. His game is to bull rush wih great strength. And he doesn’t have much of a burst.
This Dline has a chance to be special if Seymour plays the 3 at a high level. They could be dominant. While we bring in a physical set of LB’s that can all run. I’m not sure about the depth on the Dline other than Dez Bryant. Whom I’m on record as saying he has great talent and I think that will be very evident this year.

The lone white guy is pushing everyone around in the paint and killing them on the offensive glass.
June 5th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
It’s pretty simple, and like I told you last week.
Will the C’s be able to put up 100 pts?
60 from the big 3 is a lock. Can Rondo, Big Baby, Wallace and company put up 40?
Who’s going to guard Kobe? Posey is not here anymore.
Who’s going to spread the floor like House and Posey did with the 3 pt shot?
Wallace shooting 3’s = killed on the boards.
Artest is a factor! THE reason we picked him up was to play Boston.
June 5th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
Ray Allen has to score 25+ for the Celtics to have any chance to win on the road.

Hold on hold on the Lakers barely put up 100 and the C’s had to play awful to put up damn near 90! Hush that up real fast
Posey cant guard Kobe at all….no one can really lets be serious
Artest was picked up for more toughness n D, Boston wasnt in mind last summer….NEXT
Spread floor will happen in this series for Celtics no problem…lil nate can hit and if you think he cant then you must not watch basketball.
How many treys did Sheed shoot in the game?

He showed up. What can he possibly do different, hit more jumpers? He NEVER had a post game to begin with, and he is without question a step slower after the knee surgery. He’s going to give you 18 on a good night and about 6 or 7 boards.
No way KG can play Kobe on the pick and roll and keep Gasol in check. Kobe is a willing passer now, so as soon as Garnett or Perkins leave the bigs, Bynum and Gasol will finish at the rim.
Either Ray Allen or Pierce will be in constant foul trouble trying to guard Kobe and whoever draws the assignment will not be effective offensively.

The Rams game has to be a win, and really a fairly easy one. Have to win 2 out of the Tenn, AZ, Texans, SD foursome, and than smash on the Niners to start 3-3.

KG is gassed, it would be differentif he were capable of going for 40 but the truth is nobody on that team can. The two best players in this series is Gasol and Kobe and not in that order.
Kobe can bust it from 30 ft. out it’s too much of a strain the defense. They have to guard him from midcourt on in.

New Faces-New Season-New Oakland Raiders!
Raider Nation is rampant with excitement stemming from positive reports out of Oakland Raiders mini-camp. News of Jason Campbell picking up Hue Jackson’s offense much faster than expected, much maligned wide receiver Darius Heyward-Bey catching everything that comes close to him, and Mario Henderson commenting on how it’s nice to see his quarterback working as hard as everyone else are feeding the fans’ fire.
A lot of experts are predicting a vast improvement in the play of the Silver and Black in 2010, but can the Raiders deliver? How much better can they be? Are we talking about a garden-variety improvement to respectable, or a full-on 180 degree jump to the playoffs? I think anything is possible, but a lot needs to happen for the Raiders to reach beyond average and into competitive.
A good start is going to be crucial, so let’s look at the first four games and try to figure out what Oakland needs to do to set themselves up for a playoff run in 2010.
Week One: At the Tennessee Titans.
I’m pretty sure everyone reading this knows the first thing that needs to happen in order to beat the Titans: control running back Chris Johnson.
We will know right away if the new-look defensive front seven is for real or not. Assuming Lamarr Houston and Rolando McClain are as good as we think they are, stopping Johnson is very possible. They just have to be mindful of their gap responsibility and make solid tackles. If the cut-back lanes are open, it will be a long day for the defense.
Keeping Vince Young in the pocket will also be important. Young has great mobility and can make plays with his feet. Seymour and Houston can’t allow the offensive tackles to push them beyond Young’s drop. The Raiders can’t allow him to escape or step up. Young runs well and throws well on the run. The more pinned in he is, the less he can hurt them.
New quarterback Jason Campbell must play smart, move the chains, and take what he can get. He can’t press. Jeff Fisher likes to run a high-pressure defense and bring a lot of blitzes. Campbell can’t go for the big play on every down. A five-yard dump off to McFadden, Miller, or Schilens can be very deflating to a defense and the Raiders must not be afraid to nickel-and-dime the Titans to death!
That said, the Titans secondary is suspect at best and the Raiders can take advantage of them. The chemistry between Campbell and the Raiders young wide receiving corps will be critical. Heyward-Bey and Murphy can get deep on this Tennessee team, so Campbell needs to make good throws on deep balls when the opportunities present themselves.
All of this can be done, and it’s my belief that it will be done.
Projection: Raiders-17 Titans-10
June 5th, 2010 at 8:17 pm

Week Two: The St. Louis Rams .
The Raiders couldn’t have asked for a better home opener. The lowly, rookie-led St. Louis Rams will be the first of the “lambs” sent to the slaughter in the Black Hole in 2010.
The Rams have but one legitimate, established offensive weapon and that’s Steven Jackson. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo must rely on Jackson to support Bradford as he grows. Therefore, stopping Jackson stops the Rams. Period! With the weak offensive line the Rams have, this shouldn’t be too difficult. Houston, Kelly, Seymour, and whoever the other defensive lineman happens to be for the Raiders should have a field day.
There are no receivers on the Rams that pose a real threat to the great Raiders secondary. Nnamdi Asomugha, Chris Johnson, and rookies Walter McFadden and Jeremy Ware won’t leave many opportunities for Bradford once Jackson and the running game is squashed. Tyvon Branch and Michael Huff will be free to punish ball carriers and hunt the ball.
On offense, the Raiders should be able to run roughshod over the Rams sub-par defensive line. Fred Robbins is getting old and the rest of their defensive tackles are young and truthfully, not very good. The aging James Hall and under-achieving Chris Long will not help much either.
I’m looking for Michael Bush, Darren McFadden, and the revamped Raiders offensive line to dominate and rack up nearly 200 rushing yards. Combine that with Jason Campbell and the talented Raiders receiving corps contributing only when they have to, and Raider Nation should be treated to a great home opener!
I smell a blowout!

Good looking on that assist to this young punk. Wants to pretend he knows and still wet behind the ears.
Bryant wil get significant playing time if he cantinues to improve. His athleticism is valuable at that position.

Wet? Old man it has been a minute since you have risen to the occasion for some “wet”….dont talk to me about anything wet.
Bryant is a backup and did nada last year show you he will be any good……He was a backup situational DT at 290 lbs with zero sacks…..shut up old man and get ready for church tomorrow

I like your attitude but a blow out that early? Let’s crawl before we walk. I think the defense we be good early but that Oline still bothers. I think it may take them a while to gel. Now if we run well it willl give us a great chance to win.
But this team still needs to learn how to win. until they prove they have that kind of confidence it’s hard to see them blowing anyone out.

——————————————————-
Yeah, Cable already said Seymour would be the base DE with Wimbley playing next to him. And he’s already said that Houston is also playing the strong side.
You know I’m a big Sho Nasty guy. I think he’s going to be damn good.

Actually isnt Wimbley the SLB? That would mean he plays where Houston is slated to play. Meaning Seymour is the RDE(mistake for sure)and Scott playing near him since he is the WLB.

——————————————————-
I think the Oline is definitely the key, but for some reason I’m just not that concerned. I think for one, the play calling and QB change will make them better. Gallery staying healthy is a key, but Barnes as a backup is a much better situation than Morris. Satele in year 2, and with an actual play caller will be huge.
My x factor is Campbell winning the RG position!
June 5th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
So BHP what kind of season will Russell have in Oakland this year? I’m sure he will win the 3 dollar shot contest at Chicken n Waffles on Thursdays
June 5th, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Week Three: At The Arizona Cardinals
This game could go either way. No Kurt Warner, no Carlos Dansby, and no Anquan Boldin—but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Cardinals are bad. It all depends on the play of Matt Leinart. If he plays well, the Cards play well.
Once again the Raiders run defense will be tested. I believe that with Warner and Boldin gone, Ken Wisenhunt will return to his roots from Pittsburgh of run first, pass when you have to. Stopping Chris “Beanie” Wells and Tim Hightower will be vital. The Raiders have to make Leinart throw the ball.
Stopping the run and pressuring Leinart will result in opportunities for the Raiders secondary. Leinart has proven that he will make bad decisions if you can get in his face, so Houston, Seymour, and the rest of the defensive line have to get after it! If they can do that, it will give Jason Campbell and the offense a lot of short field opportunities.
When given the short field, Campbell must be careful with the ball. Dominique Rogers-Cromartie is a ball hawk as are safeties Kerry Rhodes and Pro-Bowler Adrian Wilson. With Dansby gone, the best pass rushing linebacker the Cards have is Joey Porter. As long as the tackles, tight ends, and fullbacks can control Porter, the pass rush will be manageable.
The best thing to control the pass rush is a solid run game and screens at the right time. Pounding Bush right behind a double teamed Darnell Docket with the fullback leading will wear down the front seven. After that, dropping well-timed, well-executed screens to McFadden and Jacoby Ford could explode for huge yards and neutralize the Cardinals pass rush.
The Raiders’ coaching staff knows all of this and is sure to create an even better plan.
Projection: Raiders-23 Cardinals-20

the NT thing is a HUGE issue fr the folks in here. They think the only way to stop the run is with a fat slob in the middle.
I’m definitely with you on the Dline personnel it’s loaded with good football players. Not projects and players with tons of baggage. Just solid guy’s that can flat out play. The same is true with the LB corp. It lacks superstar player (for now) but other than that they can all play.

I don’t know what’s the longest amount of time a GM has ever had, anywhere, to get it right, but here in Oakland Al Davis is giving himself 7 years and counting. How arrogant is that? Oh, what’s that I hear? It’s somehow cool that Al is arrogant? That’s his personality? No, that’s your Raiders, losing YEAR AFTER YEAR. Al Davis is the reason why you guys get laughed at everywhere you go in your Raider gear, and don’t act like you don’t. You just block it out. Boycott Al Davis, for your own dignity!

Ever feel like you’re shoveling sand against the tide when defending the Raiders? You don’t have to. Set yourself free. Refuse to support the Raiders in any way until Al Davis is GONE! You know it’s exhausting. Some of you have sacrificed entire days off from your job in blogs like this desperately trying to defend a loser who’s simply indefensible. Free yourself. Free yourself. Free yourself. You’re better than this. You deserve better than this.

“I think that Mr. Davis is one of the fathers of the game of football. Think of what he did for the AFL and build it to what it is. How he talked about the long ball and brought a certain toughness to the NFL, the Silver and Black and what it represents. You have to look back and think about all of the men who gave everything for the sport of football and you have to mention him as one of the pioneers of the game.”

If you think Al Davis is some kind of warrior for civil rights, ask yourself, why hasn’t Al Davis brought any former black players or coaches in as partners? Jerry Buss brought Magic Johnson in. Buss has a much better record on civil rights and the advancement of blacks than Al Davis does. Al Davis views blacks as thoroughbreds, performers on the field. He can’t use them either at the management or ownership level. It has been said of Al Davis that he admires Hitler, and doesn’t like black football players from Notre Dame because they’re too “smart”. What does that tell you? Al Davis likes his black big, strong, fast, and DUMB. So did slave owners.

What GM would still be around after 7 years? Al Davis is not only the worst GM in football, he’s also the worst owner in football because he refused to fire a GM that’s failed for 7 straight seasons.

No and I don’t play “ol McDonald had a farm” either so I hope that doesn’t disappoint you. I know you have a fondness for nursery tunes.

he ios playing outside, because the raiders are signing haynesworth…front four of Seymour, Haynesworth, Kelly, and Houston will be awfully tough to run against.
