Raider life depends on AL Davis backing off and letting the coaches do their jobs so the players know there’s accountability. Marshall & Jackson need to be given 100% control through T Cable. We can win!

August 1st, 2010 at 8:16 am
Wonder how much JC will play in the preseason opener?
I hope it is more than what they did with Jamarcus last year. We need to get this offense moving, to hit the ground running week 1.
Almost a full-half the first three games should do it, unless he and the offense looks real good the first 2-3 series, than maybe you can ice it.
August 1st, 2010 at 8:19 am
tj you been blasting Jerry for the last 3 years now you are allover his nut sack.
King of the frauds!
August 1st, 2010 at 8:24 am
LOL! Hasnt even been 3 months since Priest was blathering on about how great Russell was playing in OTAs. Now hes on to DHB. Same ol cheerleading different year.
August 1st, 2010 at 8:26 am
It was only 3 months ago tj was blasting Jerry for reporting Russell looked awful bouncing balls off the turf, sailing balls wide & high. The truth gets in the way of a fraud like tj. Now of course Jerry is ok because he reported DHB is looking good, in shorts!

Random thought: Al will take a DB in the first round next year… It has been too long since he has burned a high pick on a CB.

I don’t think the Raiders have a first round pick next year – already burned it on Seymour.
I hope Al drafts some O=line talent next year.

Good Morning Nation,
If your read Monte Poole’s article, you will find out that the stench on his comment section comes from none other than “Madden Raider” aka M.R. aka other alias.
Part of his dribble:
1. “Good article, Monte.
Re: Team’s record in Russell era vs. Team’s record in the 3 years b4 Russell,
I’ve been saying the same since Russell was cut, over at Jerry McDonald’s blog (where I’ve since been banned, deservedly, I’m not complaining. lol).
2. “Sure. It’s not Al’s fault…he’s not on the field….etc. Until, of course, the Raiders win. Then you’ll be giving Al credit for every single facet of the team.
3. “Al Davis doesn’t even belong in the NFL Hall of Fame. He’s a fraud.”
Do all or us a favor M.R., stay there! LMFAO
August 1st, 2010 at 8:52 am
The Raiders will need to pick through the pile for another receiver.

Schilens has got me worried. Bad feet and legs end careers in which jumping is constant. Remember the Blazers drafted Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan. Bad shins, feet, and repeated surgeries. Bill Walton same problem. Greg Oden.

Good thing for us that Schilens was a 7th rounder. Bad for the Blazers, though. Three first-rounders. What a nightmare. At least they got a title out of Walton.
Now if somebody could just get him to shut up.
August 1st, 2010 at 9:41 am
If Schilens isn’t ready to go against Dallas, how close is he to going on IR or the PUP list?
At some point, you have to consider that. No point in releasing him, he is on his 7th round pick contract and is probably one of the lowest paid players on the team.

We were AFC Champs just 7 years ago. That is much better than many other teams. (The 49ers haven’t won a conference championship since 1994). I guess it depends on how you WANT to look at it.
I WANT to think positively about my team, and life in general. I know there are plenty of negatives I could be dwelling on – that is called depression – good luck with that.

August 1st, 2010 at 9:52 am
Dude,
Do you think it is true that J-Russ actually improved the Raiders in his three years here, compared to the three years before?
I think the truth is: we were rock bottom before he got here, and he didn’t help us get any better.

“If there has been a fumble by a RB through seven practices, I haven’t seen it, and DC John Marshall is urging defenders to go for strip.” via twit.

I like this – It tests our running backs as well as teaches good habits to defenders.
I think the acquisition of John Marshall is one of those positives that Dude requested I point out.
August 1st, 2010 at 10:01 am
All the “Raiders record improved the three years Jamarcus was here compared to the prior 3 years” will be silenced when our record the next 3 years after Jamarcus left is vastly improved.
August 1st, 2010 at 10:11 am
Just ignore DUDE,
he comes on here to smart off through out the season. The best response to him is asking him how is USC doing and he’ll shut up real quick.
Anyone with half a brain would see that we avg 9 points a game under Jawalrus for the first 10 games last year. Enough said.
August 1st, 2010 at 10:11 am
LOL @Big Ted. Sorry bro, my mood/life dznt revolve around the Raiders wins or losses. Good try though. Funny as hell that you actually harkened back to SEVEN years ago! That is a typical Raider fan excuse/rationalization. “Hey man, we were in the Superbowl 8 years ago” LOL. Notice how the number keeps growing, making it more and more pathetic a argument, yet Raider fan keeps using it. I mean, pay no attention to the fact that the history books will show that no team ever had a more pathetic stretch of losing than the one that the Raiders are currently in. History nly counts when its good, right Teddy??

What was the record from 1991 to 1998 for USC vs UCLA? you want to talk about 7 bad raider yrs. How about USC being owned by UCLA for 8 years straight?
You dont know shytt so GTFO
August 1st, 2010 at 10:33 am
His track record as a head coach in Oakland and Tennesee have nothing to do with USC. I thought he did some good things with the Raiders and when he was at SC as a coordinator. He has a good staff and good talent. With Masoli being gone, it opens the door for a title.
August 1st, 2010 at 10:33 am
USC will probably win their toughest game on the schedule, but underachieve for the year.

Dudette,
You mocked us for the past 7 years. How about you defend USC vs UCLA since 1991. What happened between 1991 to 1998 PRIOR to Carrol’s arrival? Yes, being owned for a decade straight by UCLA and being UCLA’s biatttch. In the history of your rivalry, never has any one team owned the other for almost 1 decade until UCLA did it.
Go Bruins.
August 1st, 2010 at 10:42 am
One thing i am noticing not a lot of dropped or underthrows, or major QB issues thus far. I am not getting a head of myself here but it seems like they are doing better than this time last year…

No way Thec, he is one of the best recruiters in the country and has surrounded himself with a great staff. He will be good for SC…..book that.

Thec07,
What I like about this is we have a good QB coaching staff with Jackson, Tollner and Hackett and a QB that has the tools to do something good.
JaDavis didn’t give a shhhhh and didn’t work at all.
But Campbell has been looking for good consistent coaching. Might be the 1st time he’s getting it in his career.

Snb makes a good point.
Paul Hackett must be thrilled that he got a QB who is willing to put in the work to get better, now we can get the most out of one the best QB coaches around.
August 1st, 2010 at 11:14 am
Not to mention Cable will not be calling the plays…
August 1st, 2010 at 11:16 am
I’m sure they want either Nick Miller or Ford be the FT punt AND kick return guy.
No sense having one guy only return part of it. JLH’s days as a return guy seem numbered, so he better be productive in his limited time in preseason.
Sticking with my initial claim that JLH and THoward won’t get much run in the preseason. If the young guys look ready to replace them without much or any dropoff, they will be cut. If the youngsters don’t look quite ready they will stay.
But it is almost out of their hands at this stage.
August 1st, 2010 at 11:21 am
Vegas, agreed… JLH will be allowed to focus strickly on WR… I hope he steps up as the vet he is. 2008 he had a good season… From the way the report I saw about chaz we may not be counting on him… That said it is going to be crucial that JLH steps his game up…
As he is the VET…

Standard concussion procedure, whatever that is.
August 1st, 2010 at 11:45 am
We should have brought a vet to camp to compete and mentor the young kids, right now Schilens and JLH are the the most exeperienced WR’s out there and they have combined for just 91 career receptions and can we really count on Chaz and his bad foot? I doubt it.
Maybe Kevin Curtis if healthy, the former eagle who missed most of the last 2 seasons with injuries, he’s the only guy available who has put up decent numbers in the past.
I would have liked Laveranues Coles but the Jets signed him a couple of days ago.
August 1st, 2010 at 11:47 am
BEAUTIFUL!
Denver Broncos running backs Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter have both been injured on the Broncos’ first day of training camp.
Moreno was carted off the field after hurting his right leg Sunday, and Buckhalter injured his left leg minutes later.
About an hour into the workout, Moreno caught a pass in 7-on-7 drills and turned upfield when his leg buckled. He grimaced as he hopped into the team’s headquarters for tests.
Buckhalter hurt his leg about 10 minutes later during the same drill and limped off on his own.
The Broncos traded veteran running back J.J. Arrington to Philadelphia on the eve of camp. They had no immediate word on the extent or nature of the injuries to Moreno and Buckhalter.
