Raiders sign WR
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010 at 7:37 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Beat writer Steve Corkran filed the following brief for Wednesday’s papers: Undrafted free agent wide receiver Damola Adeniji signed with the Raiders on Tuesday.
Adeniji, 6-foot-3 and 213 pounds, played for Oregon State. He caught 57 passes for 807 yards and five touchdowns in 2009 for the Beavers, including eight for 106 and one touchdown against Brigham Young in the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas.
We’ll get a look at Adeniji during Wednesday’s open practice at the club’s organized team activity.

Good size. Who knows, could be another Marquez Colston (WR-Saints) who was a 7th round pick & became a starter.
June 8th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
We need to talk to Hue Jackson and Marshall….now!

Killing the messenger, RDT? If Al Davis’s record were the opposite in the past 7 years, Kell wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. But as it stands… Sounds like you’re just angry about reality.
June 8th, 2010 at 8:37 pm
What cracks me up is how you guys are more angry at people who point out Al’s record in the past 7 years than you are about the record. Classic case of protecting your abuser.

MR, what year did you decide to stop being a Raiders fan?
June 8th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Al Davis’s football team is a broken record, Rayda. You’ll find that out the hard way in September.
June 8th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Never mind when I “stopped being a fan”, as you put it. The question is, when are you going to realize Al Davis is ruining the team, Rayda?

Great game, but this replay rule in the NBA has to go.
The refs are too shyty to be using replay. You get make up calls and such that does not translate through replay.
June 8th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Seems like you’re wishing and hoping for a bad season. Not exactly what I would characterize as motivation or loyalty. How inspiring is your negativity to the players that cannot control organizational (mis)management decisions that haven’t produced results of late?
June 8th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
This series is going 7 games.

June 8th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
MR, you lose credibility when it’s all negative toward Al. No Raiders fan in their right mind would argue the fact that he is ultimately held accountable and responsible for the teams performance/record, but no favorable comments toward the man leaves many with the suspicion that you are a Chargers, Broncos or Chiefs fan.
June 8th, 2010 at 9:10 pm

If I were in the market for a Raiders shirt, I think I’d want more than 20 percent off if Cable has worn it first.

That’s a pretty funny joke for Jerry. Good to see him branching out into comedy.
TJ Houshmandzadeh was an unknown WR form Oregon State.
Who knows? Maybe lightning can strike twice.

If your General Manager is 29-83, what difference does it make about somebody being a “dornkey fan”?

KK, I should have known you couldn’t resist getting into this dialogue. So, you are a proud donkey?
June 8th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
nice try rayda but this guy is still a bum look at that score and he played on punt team so not even a starter please al stop the madness

Saints were taking time away from OTAs to visit residents of the Gulf Coast region who have been affected by the BP oil spill. But the Saints are doing more than just visiting.
The team announced today that it will raffle off an authentic Super Bowl ring, with tickets going for just $2 a pop and proceeds going toward Gulf Coast renewal. So if you’ve always wanted a Super Bowl ring but you’ve come to the realization that you’re probably not going to earn one as a player, this is your chance.

The running back corps currently consists of Michael Bush, Rock Cartwright, Darren McFadden, Michael Bennett, rookies Chane Moline and Manse Tonga, as well as second year man Marcel Reese. Odds are no fantasy football owner will be dying to spend their first round pick on any of these names when fantasy draft day rolls around.

Here is the so called “reality” being spouted:
Anything good or great the Raiders achieved was due to someone other than Al Davis, even though according to the “reality” guys, Al Davis is a dictator and is ultimately in charge of EVERYTHING. But…Al gets full blame for all the negative things such as the Raiders’admittedly horrible record the past 7 yrs.
That’s “reality”?

KK, can’t help it guy’s his hatred of Mr Davis is much stronger than his love of the Raiders. He needs to remind us of that fact everyday 100 times a day or he feels we didn’t get it.

June 8th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
Boy what happened to Ray Allen?? I’ll try to explain. He lost his legsand was strugglng to get lift which mad ehim struggle in his release. Shooters are very particular in that they like clean shots and require their legs be fresh to get smooth release. Now scorers are very different they are used to bumps bruises off balance and contact. They score regardless even if it’s from the FT line. Now that’s what Kobe is he’s a scorer by any means necessary. Ray likes clear paths and good looks. Big difference.
Doc Rivers is complaining like crazy about the refs but he didn’t when Kobe was affected by the same thing. So shut up Doc. Unless you’re going to complain about the refs in both sides then don’t complain at all.

If the shoe fits. It’s not a contradiction to say that the Raiders win in spite of Al and lose because of him, and I don’t know here his loyalists got the idea that it is. He owns the team. He’s impossible to fire so he’s therefore impervious to consequence. He’s not in the league because he’s smart or knows how to run a team. He’s in because he’s an owner, period. His meddling ruins teams. And it takes a coach with balls to run a team their way in spite of his meddling, and, yes, WIN IN SPITE OF HIM, AS GRUDEN DID.

June 8th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
Every single blog gets ruined with the pissing contests. Filthering through 50+ posts of emoitonal banter is unnecessary folks. Lets talk Raiders.
I like big physical recievers like this new kid Damola Adeniji(6′3). San Diego has killed us with big strong recievers. Having Campbell, Gradkowski, or Boller(who I like too), automatically improves our offense. We were plauged with injuries and the Russell debacle last year. Murphy(6′2) looks promising and DHB(6′2) needs to step it up this year. I am patient, but 50-60 catches and 6-8 touchdowns for both DHB and Murphy should not be too much to ask. Schilens(6′4)can be in the 70-80 range with 8-10 tds. This is if we stay healthy. Mix in Higgins, Ford, and maybe this new kid Damola Adeniji for 6-8 more tds(even a fullback or Bush catch for a td or two), and we have a definate winner on our hands. McFadden should catch a few as tds well. Using him like Reggie Bush will create even more mismatches. I have faith Hue Jackson sees the light and Al Davis will let him steer the ship on offense. Michael Bush should get the rock 15-20 times a game. It is not rocket science. Stevie Wonder can see our identity. GO RAIDERS!
June 8th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
You first have to have some credibility to lose.

More than likely this kid is simply camp fodder, we already have some very talented yung WR’s. This kid is someone who they obviously looked at but I’m not sure he’s much more than a look see….
June 9th, 2010 at 12:12 am
@Priesttj
I hear you. I like the direction we are going and think we have the talent in our young recievers also. I don’t mind a look though at a 6′3 215 pound reciever. We all know Miller will put up numbers and be solid at TE. I can’t wait to see some 4-5 reciever sets with all these young kids. It will be interesting as I think Hue Jackson may be a diamond in the rough. Al finally got the memo.
June 9th, 2010 at 12:47 am
Jmeds
Al Davis sent the memo, it just takes time to biuld a good football team. No matter how good you are or think you are, you will make some mistakes. This isn’t like changing socks. Players take time to develope and sometimes they never do. Either we wouldn’t have gotten J Campbell, someone had to give up on him.
DMC hasn’t lived up to his billing and things like that hurt you. Is DMC a bad pcik we’ll know soon but the fact that he hasn’t been a success hurts.
June 9th, 2010 at 4:36 am

Damola Adeniji signed. Nick Miller released
no surprises
Thanks AL!
I would have preferred Kole Heckendorf, but Seattle claimed him off waivers …

Nick Miller released after spending 15 weeks on the active roster before finally going on the IR? haha…

Fish looked good in the 4th.
saved the game, despite Ray Allen having the worst game of his career
Kobe who ???

Morning RRS, HwnRdr..
I would have preferred DT Chris Howan..
releasing Nick Miller is just like saying we are the worst franchise ever…. Not that Nick Miller was any good, but because the franchise thought he was good enough, that they kept a roster spot for him all season even though he was injured all the time.. its amateurish and its a prime example of why we wont win a division as long as the old guard has control of the franchise…

June 9th, 2010 at 6:13 am
Yup, Rockstar! Fish saved the game for them last night…Ray Allen cracks me up though…breaks the Finals record by hitting 8 3’s…then almost ties the all time Finals record for most consecutive shots missed…what is that, the fruitility record last tied in ‘78?
And Kobe really has been a non factor this whole series…if he becomes one, it will be something else…
June 9th, 2010 at 6:13 am
Jhill: I thought Kobe Bryant was only held under 30 points because of foul trouble and lack of minutes on the floor in Game 2?
Game 3 he was on the court the most of ANY PLAYER (44 minutes) and went 10/29 and 1/7 from 3 point land. 29 points (held under 30 – again)
he was contained for the 2nd game in a row. Fisher wasn’t
did Garnett look 50 years old last night? he scored as many points as Odom & Gasol combined!
June 9th, 2010 at 6:17 am
Ray Allen & Rasheed Wallace combined for 4 points last night – the Lakers got that much from Farmar & Walton off the bench
*puke*
Celtics will tie it up at 2-2.
I told you guys that the Lakers would take a game in Boston …
my original prediction was Celtics in 6 – we’ll see
June 9th, 2010 at 6:22 am
If Luke Walton scores a basket…the NBA is in trouble…haha! Not sure why he’s still in the NBA, unless they now have a bench warmer position…but not bad for a bench rider that has been to 4 Finals and having one ring, and possibly 2…
June 9th, 2010 at 6:23 am
I can’t stand the Lakers, but if they play defense the way they did last night it’s going to be tough for the Celts to beat them. Big improvement over game 2.
June 9th, 2010 at 6:26 am
Good Morning Ed,
Yes, it will…I have a feeling that the Lakers are taking evry other game off…will it go to 7? Personally, I hope not, but you never know. I said that this is going to be a good series…The Lakers are a MUCH better team then the ‘08 squad!
June 9th, 2010 at 6:27 am
Now back to Raider football…will this receiver make the final roster? LMN says no…with good reasons. What are your guys thoughts?
June 9th, 2010 at 6:31 am
ET: I think the Celtics came into Game 3 (Boston) a little overconfident and as a result took some stupid shots. Ray Allen expected everything to fall. KG was playing hard with something to prove. Rondo held his own. everybody else thought they had this game in the bag
They are a good defensive team, but they need to play smarter on offense
June 9th, 2010 at 6:35 am
I think we’ll keep 5 WR’s – possibly 6
Schilens, Higgins, Heyward-Bey, Murphy & Ford = locks imo
Watkins, Figurs or Holland have my vote for #6 if we decide to steer clear of a vet mentor.
However, it wouldn’t surprise me if the 3 mentioned above got outplayed by an unknown guy like Hubbard, Bodiford or Adeniji …
June 9th, 2010 at 6:38 am
Luke Walton actually did everyhting asked of him. I expect him to get more run in the future, as Artests’ minutes diminish with the rest of the series.
Say Queensbrick
LO was the key, the game changed as soon as he came in the first quarter.

June 9th, 2010 at 6:39 am
Morning Hwnrdr!
I don’t know anything about the guy we just signed, so I haven’t a clue if he’ll make the team or not. DHB, Murphy, Schilens, Ford and JLH probably have the inside track and I seriously doubt we’ll keep more than six, so he definitely has his work cut out for him.
It’s not like any of the other guys are locks, though, and he’s not a slot guy so he has as good a chance as Watkins, Holland and the others.
June 9th, 2010 at 6:41 am
I see RMR is needing attention again. Hey RMR, instead of psychoanalyzing everyone that thinks you are a buffoon, why don’t you try doing a little self analyzation?
It used to be how you KNEW that J. Russell would definitely, 100%, no matter what, be the starting QB in 2010. And I let you off easy on that one, I didn’t request that you put your $$ where your mouth was. I just plain out told you that I would send you $100 if J. Russell was the starter in 2010. We all know how that turned out.
Now you go on and on about the last 7 years and how as long as AL is living, the Raiders will continue to lose AND you state that they will not win more than 5 games in 2010. PLEASE, bet me on this one. I want you to have to pay for your stupidity this time. I want to take $100 from you so badly and it will be so easy. Please bet me $100.
I will win either way. Either you pay me when you lose and I have the satisfaction of spending the $100 that you sent me for losing the bet OR I get the satisfaction of you welching and proving what a POS you are. Come on, please. Put up or shut up. If you are so certain that the Raiders will not win more than 5 games this season, please, bet me $100.

June 9th, 2010 at 6:47 am
Rockstar,
Yeah, I noticed that there were some questionable decisions made by the Celtics on the floor last night. However, I also thought the Lakers stepped up the defensive pressure. They contested a lot more shots and rotated a lot better on defense than they did in game 2, and some of those easy looks that Boston had in the second game just weren’t that easy last night.
Tough to win two in a row in Boston, though. We’ll see.

For those of you who have never traveled to the west, or southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area. For some reason the cattle will not step on the “guards,” probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails.
A few months ago, President Obama received and was reading a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado . Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, so he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the “cattle” guards immediately!!
Before the Secretary of the Interior could respond and presumably try to straighten him out, Vice-President, Joe Biden, intervened with a request that.. before any “cattle” guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining.
And these guys are running our country!!
June 9th, 2010 at 6:48 am
Judge,
Careful, RMR is known for making bets than just saying I’m not going to pay you.
I think his exact words to Richochet were “so what I lied, sue me”.
Nothing but class 24/7
June 9th, 2010 at 6:55 am
Rcokstar,
I don’t want to argue politics this morning, but I think you may be nitpicking Obama a little bit on this one.
George W. Bush knows what a cattle guard is, but he’s a retard and should have never been in charge of running this country. You can’t know everything about everything.

While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister’s son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: ‘Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.’

A Little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. ‘Mama, look what I found,’ the boy called out. ‘What have you got there, dear?’ With astonishment in the young boy’s voice, he answered, ‘I think it’s Adam’s underwear!’

Not much on this WR out there, the fact that he was signed and released by Tampa Bay doesn’t bode well for him, anways….
Damola Adeniji 6′3 219.
Strengths: Has great size and wingspan. Is a possession receiver; can extend to catch the pass at its highest point. Shows strong body control and balance. Has a knack of shielding the defender from the ball. Isn’t afraid to work in traffic to make tough catches. Is tough to tackle; has strong run-after-catch skills and size. Is a solid edge run blocker.
Weaknesses: Has marginal initial quickness in his release. Is a long strider; takes time to hit full speed. Lacks explosive quickness or burst. Has marginal separation quickness against man coverage. Isn’t elusive. Is an average athlete.
Bottom line: Adeniji had one catch before his senior season, but emerged as a big, possession receiving option. He merits seventh-round consideration because of his size, receiving ability and special teams value. He has enough ability to be a backup WR and special teams player as rookie. However, he won’t develop into a starter.
Pro day: WR Damola Adeniji drew some attention by catching everything in sight while running under 4.6 seconds for the 40.”

While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, ‘Are you a cop? Yes,’ I answered and continued writing the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?’ ‘Yes, that’s right,’ I told her. ‘Well, then,’ she said as she extended her foot toward me, ‘would you please tie my shoe?’

It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. ‘Is that a dog you got back there?’ he asked. ‘It sure is,’ I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, ‘What’d he do?’
June 9th, 2010 at 7:36 am
Good Morning.
Our WRs are young, and they don’t have much exp.
Our OL is not great.
Our QB is learning a new system.
Should we worry about our passing game?
No… We have Action Jackson!!

Jhill: I thought Kobe Bryant was only held under 30 points because of foul trouble and lack of minutes on the floor in Game 2?
Game 3 he was on the court the most of ANY PLAYER (44 minutes) and went 10/29 and 1/7 from 3 point land. 29 points (held under 30 – again)
he was contained for the 2nd game in a row.
——————————————————-
Did you really write a post about Kobe being held under 30 when the guy got 29? 1 point?!?!?!?!?!
Cmon man! Are you that desperate for a win, lol!
June 9th, 2010 at 7:41 am
Kobe needs to shoot better damn it!
June 9th, 2010 at 7:41 am
Kobe who ???
——————————————————
I will say that I was saying during the game that Kobe is going to shoot us out of it again in the 4th qtr. Trying to be THE reason the Lakers win the title is just what the Lakers are looking for. Defering to Pau and Fisher in the 4th qtr was HUGE!
Stop trying to be better than Michael, stop trying to be the greatest Laker ever, and stop trying to be finals MVP!
June 9th, 2010 at 7:42 am

June 9th, 2010 at 7:44 am
For all the talk of Boston’s defense, it was the Lakers defense that won that game for them. I keep saying that 100 pts is the number the Celtics are going to have to get to to win games. To hold the Lakers to 91 pts and still lose is a credit to the Lakers D.
June 9th, 2010 at 7:47 am

We don’t need TO now, I think we found our possession WR that we needed so badly. I think we got the next Marques Colston.

I think game 4 is going to be huge…Kobe really ahsn’t been a factor this series. Artest, Fish in games 1, 3 respectively. Who’s it going to be in game 4? Gasol, Bynum and odom are doing what they need to do…Kobe has to be Kobe, but not be superstar!

To win this series the Lakers need to win another game in Boston. For whatever reason Boston plays better on the road this playoff…

Sounds like Bynum is pussing out of game 4. I can’t wait to trade him for Bosh or Lebron this offseason.
June 9th, 2010 at 8:10 am
HES AVG 27 PTS A GAME!!!! WTF are you talking about?Not to mention the fact that hes playing great defense and facilitating. In the 2 victories he had 30 and 29 respectively. Unreal…..

He might…Haha…I heard that rumor a while back…Lebron to LA? Game over!

we should give hima look, he must be better than any of the Fb’s we have..

WOW…defensive people these days. LOL…Other people stepped up. Funny how some critisize on an internet blog…never was here to pick arguments with anyone, Ron! You have your points, and evryone else has theirs…Never once did I call anyone stupid for their opinions whether right or wrong!
June 9th, 2010 at 8:16 am
LMN,
I certainly like Griffith better than Lawton, but I would like to see an actual blocking FB instead. Griffith is more of a finesse pass catching FB. Get me another ONeal or Ritchie please!!!!
June 9th, 2010 at 8:17 am
I called you stupid, dont care what you call me. You made a completely rediculous comment and to make such a comment means you must be stupid. If Kobe wasnt playing in this series the Celtics would be up 3-0. Period.
June 9th, 2010 at 8:18 am
The position of FB is sooooooo far down the list of needs on this club its almost comical to talk about.
June 9th, 2010 at 8:26 am
OK…whatevers…squash! Its just my opinion…
And I agree with you…FB position is of less of a need for the Raiders!
June 9th, 2010 at 8:32 am
FB is lower than punter and kicker in the list of important positions on every team in the NFL.

+++++++++
Hmmm, really? You don’t believe having a good blocking FB is an important element to our run game? If so, then is our run game not important?
The Tecmo Bowl idea of running McFadden and Bush out there at the same time is a joke. That might work if we had a dominating o-line, but our o-line is bottom of the barrel at this point. We need a blocking FB to run the ball.
June 9th, 2010 at 8:35 am
We need to run the single back set with Bush and 2 TE’s.
Bush and McFadden in the backfield together = McFadden motioning to the slot.
June 9th, 2010 at 8:41 am
The only chance this team has to succeed is by running the damned football and taking pressure off of the QB, weak ass WRs and the porous run D.
June 9th, 2010 at 8:42 am
Now if we somehow has a bruising FB on the team, yeah let’s run more I formation stuff. But I don’t see a FB on the market who warrants being on the field for us.
Go 3 WRs or 2 TE’s instead with a single back.
June 9th, 2010 at 8:49 am
Any bum off the street can come in and play FB. When was the last time a FB was drafted in the first or second round for that matter? That fact alone tells you the importance of the position.
June 9th, 2010 at 9:04 am
Jon Ritchie was a 3rd rounder

some of all the tweeners we have drafted through the years such as Darnell Bing and Eric Frampton, we should have converted them to a nasty blocking FB’s…

I see RMR is needing attention again. Hey RMR, instead of psychoanalyzing everyone that thinks you are a buffoon, why don’t you try doing a little self analyzation?
It used to be how you KNEW that J. Russell would definitely, 100%, no matter what, be the starting QB in 2010. And I let you off easy on that one, I didn’t request that you put your $$ where your mouth was. I just plain out told you that I would send you $100 if J. Russell was the starter in 2010. We all know how that turned out.
Now you go on and on about the last 7 years and how as long as AL is living, the Raiders will continue to lose AND you state that they will not win more than 5 games in 2010. PLEASE, bet me on this one. I want you to have to pay for your stupidity this time. I want to take $100 from you so badly and it will be so easy. Please bet me $100.
I will win either way. Either you pay me when you lose and I have the satisfaction of spending the $100 that you sent me for losing the bet OR I get the satisfaction of you welching and proving what a POS you are. Come on, please. Put up or shut up. If you are so certain that the Raiders will not win more than 5 games this season, please, bet me $100.

oh yeah, because they don’t win games!
bandwagon laker fans care to issue a response?
the Raiders haven’t won the big one since ‘83 and we’re all loyal to them right?
I guess some of you were too afraid to support a losing team, like Kell with the Raiders.
how many fans supported them before the Lakers acquired Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in ‘74?
I doubt many of you were old enough to remember Wilt Chamberlain or Jerry West …
