Brennan adds depth for Dallas game
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, August 7th, 2010 at 8:49 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders signing of quarterback Colt Brennan Saturday means they’re not sure if Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye will be healthy enough to face Dallas in the first preseason game and don’t want to go into it with only two quarterbacks.
Brennan arrived for the afternoon practice and spent most of the session getting a cram course on the offense from Ted Tollner, the team’s passing game coordinator last year and still listed that way even though the Raiders brought in a new offensive coordinator in Hue Jackson.
The Raiders looked at both Brennan and undrafted free agent quarterback Jevon Snead of Missississpi, before determining Brennan to be the better option.
Gradkowski spent his second day as a spectator with a groin injury, and Frye watched with a “sore” right wrist that was wrapped.
The Raiders declined to make public the transaction necessary to put Brennan on the roster, as they needed to either trade, cut or put a player on injured reserve in order to allow him to practice.
Among those not present for the afternoon session were wide receiver Jonathan Holland, who was awaiting MRI results for an injured ankle, safety Hiram Eugene, defensive end Jay Richardson and defensive tackle John Henderson.
Richardson and Henderson participated in the morning session. Eugene, coach Tom Cable said, was at the dentist.

You better start John Henderson…a real Nose Tackle………….hey Priest still believe there isnt a NT in the 4-3?
August 7th, 2010 at 8:51 pm
Brennan is more than a camp/pre-season arm.
August 7th, 2010 at 8:51 pm
In a 4-3, the weakside DT is a true NT. The strongside DT is a UT. (3-tech)

***************************
Exactly……too bad you werent here in 2008 when idiots on this blog had to nerve to dispute me on strongside and weakside lol
BHP’s old drunk ass told me numerous times we dont have a NT in our defense lol
August 7th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
Sorry i wasnt here then.
The 4-3 is about the NT taking up two blockers, to enable the RDE to be one on one with LT, the blindside of a right-handed QB.
August 7th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
That’s the basic fundamentals of the 4-3.
Many coaches utilize 4-3 differently, where both DTs are NTs. Where both are UTs. Where they use the NT on the strong side and the UT on the weakside. Depends on added DL philosophy, down/distance, etc. Like how there are many different types of 3-4. Some coaches add extra touches, tweak it, create new wrinkles. But the foundation of the 4-3 is as described.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Also, because most rushing plays are to the weakside, and so that’s why the NT is usually positioned on the weakside.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
Anyway, this is a great moment in the life of GG. Colt Brennan signed to the Raiders.
Hoping he makes the 53.

August 7th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
GG my friend….we need a real life NT to start and Tommy Kelly just aint it
August 7th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Tom Kelly is more of a UT imo.
Henderson if he can withstand a full season is da man.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
All of these imbecilic posts by others….you know who you are….that think it isnt an issue are sadly mistaken and even worse badly misinformed about this game we call football
August 7th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
Kelly is a UT plain and simple….The Raiders went the last two seasons with two UTs starting in the middle and what did it do? Thank you….you lsitening Priest and J Wiggle?
August 7th, 2010 at 9:06 pm

August 7th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
It’s why many of us labored thru the draft night on here this season calling out remaining NTs in the draft that we kept passing on. Glad we got Henderson, but we still need a young NT for back-up.
Bryant, Kelly, Seymour…all UTs.
But i do also believe in Wauffle, and he’ll have an aggressive complex pass-rushing dynamic in place for the DL.
Still, a team always needs a NT.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
My opinion is to see if we can swing a trade with ol Rat Face of Kelly for Haynesworth straight up.
After the way Shanny has basically set out to break Haynesworth down and impose his manhood on him in camp, I just really don’t see a happy ending to that situation, and I’m almost positive that Big Albert wants out.
A D Line of Houston-Seymour-Haynesworth-Shaunessy, with Henderson, and Bryant in the rotation is a top 10 defensive front four in my mind, no question. Not even to mention shuffling Scott to the End spot at times.
That D line would wear any offensive line down, and in my opinion is much more intimidating than having Tommy ‘Moons Over My Hammy’ Kelly, who hasn’t done squat for 4 years on the D line.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
I mean who would be able to run up the middle on that line?

(Colt’s)…getting a cram course on the offense from Ted Tollner, the team’s passing game coordinator last year and still listed that way even though the Raiders brought in a new offensive coordinator in Hue Jackson.”
=======
I think the Raiders are taking the game to the next level where its not “your a tackle and you’re a fullback”. Its versatility and I think its that way with coaches too. Cables HC and O line, Tollner helps the Qbs and Lal ect ect.
Very smart and better use of what you’ve got.
Could pay dividends…

====================
I hear you but its harder to find one of those type of DTs than you’d think.
Davis knows the 4-3 is the way to go because guys like Haynes and Wilfork are more rare than shut downs.
We’ve just under performed their in recent years and I think yeah, the scheme hurt too.
The Raiders are willing to give up yards between the 20s. Unforch they gave up yards in the red zone too.
This D has looked very good in games but gave away huge run plays that amde us look statistically horrible.
Whether thats scheme or like I’ve been saying for a couple of years, partly Morrison’s fault we’ll find out in the regs.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
How about some controversy with QB discussion??
GG wild prediction…
Campbell-Frye-Brennan (final 3)
August 7th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
I want both of you who think the 4/3 employs a NT t tell me then why does Haynesworth play NT and he played both l and r DT’s in the 4/3 but he doesn’t want to play it in a 3/4. If you know so much. He’s played every position in a 4/3 but he says he doesn’t play NT then what does he play?
August 7th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
Starting DTs = Seymour and Kelly.
If either one of them are playing directly over the C, then we need a new DC.
Both guys should ideally be on the Cs shoulder, right?
If that’s the case what does it matter?
The C has to make a decision as to who he is going to double team.

J,
Say it!!! I was Right!! Seymour will/ can play the 3 Tech!! Say it!!!! lol
August 7th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
BHP,
There has been NT in the 4-3 scheme. Ted Washington and Sam Adams are good examples.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
My opinion is to see if we can swing a trade with ol Rat Face of Kelly for Haynesworth straight up.
——————————————————-
If Kelly is good enough to get Haynesworth in a straight up deal, then why not just keep Kelly?
And to Priest’s point, if Haynesworth is balking at NT in Washington, do we move Seymour to NT?
August 7th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
QB discussion…
Boller has been playing poorly in camp.
He does have a big arm.
Gradkowski isn’t starting caliber like Frye is.
Davis loves Frye too.
Frye a better arm too.
Brennan is a Gradkowski-type but more aggressive/accurate and better arm, and is a long-time Raiders fan.
However, both Grad/Brennan are injury prone.
Tho Brennan has not started (due to injuries) if given the chance he’d shine too.
I like Gradkowski’s moxy, he proved it in ‘09.
It’s a tough call (for me), but definitely (for me) if we whittled down to four, Boller would be the one out (for me).
August 7th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
BHP,
It all depends on where the DT is lined up. If the DT is directly over C, then he is a NT.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
O,
I don’t know why you are doing a victory dance, lol. I said Seymour HADN’T played 3 tech before.
Some people were arguing against playing our guys in positions they hadn’t played before, but it all of a sudden went out the window with Seymour.
I’VE been the one saying Seymour needs to play inside with Kelly since last year. Why do you think ROG is here telling me how wrong I am, lol?
August 7th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
Boller has been playing poorly in camp.
——————————————————
I haven’t read that. I think there were reports that he was really solid today with all the reps he got.
Didn’t he go to Cal? Might be a connection there with Cable and Jackson …. Bit of loyalty to the Cal program. Plus the Jackson Boeller connection from BMore
August 7th, 2010 at 9:53 pm
Raider O what makes you say they were NT they were just DT’s just because a guy weighs a certain thing doesn’t mean he plays a certain position.
NT is a technigue not a size requirement. When you play NT you play over the Center and the two SE’s take the Bgaps. That’s the 3/4 technically speaking. Haynes doesn’t want to play the 3/4 because he doesn’t want to play that technigue called the zero tech he’ll play the 1 or the 3 all day. But in a 3/4 you have to play the zero and it’s different macu different than the l or r DT position.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
-Campbell is the Starter.
-GarbageKowski is the backup.
Frye can never give us stability, Boller is not accurate, so we should keep Bernnan. We should try to develop him to be a starter in the future.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
Hey Jerry when you get a chance why don’t you intreview Mike Wauffle for these guy’s so they can get a clear understanding. The 3/4 is very different from a 4/3 now as was stated earlier if you have a guy capable of playing the nose you can switch back and forth. But very few guy’s want toplay that position as a base.
August 7th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
I really don’t see the logic behind lining one of our DTs up directly over the C in a 4-3 alignment.
What am I missing?
August 7th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
J,
I don’t care about the details! I was Right!! I’m doing my victory dance! lol
August 7th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
That’s correct if he is lined directl over the center but you’ll never see that in a 4/3 alignment. If you see a DT lined up over the C yu can bet they’re in a 3/4……………..period
August 7th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
BHP,
I agree. Read post 32. Adams played directly over C as I remember (could be wrong, I smoke a lot. lol), and that’s an I called him a NT.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
On here more often than not,being right is more important than knowing what you are talking about.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
BHP,
Let think about it for a min. I know there is 1/2 NTs in a 4-3 scheme.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
Priest,
I actually HAVE seen that. Terdell used to line up over the C all the time. Remember going over that with SnB and openly questioned if we were lined up correctly.
Don’t recall seeing it under Marshall.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
Lefty,
Exactly!
I was right! Doing my victory dance!!
August 7th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
NT = 1 gap.
Not necessarily playing over Center.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Post 31-you make a few assumptions there.Where do you get your info since I haven’t read anything to back them up.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
I don’t know much about gaps.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
1 gap = between OG and C, right?
There are 2 gaps between the C and OGs. What difference does it make if the DT is lined up on the Cs left shoulder or right shoulder?
Still don’t see what I am missing.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Nose refers to playing over the Center, i know.
But in a 4-3 there is a NT.
A one-gap DT for the same purpose as a 3-4 NT.
The Vikings utilize two NTs…as an example of how different coaches use the 4-3 differently.
At heart, the 4-3 alignment is…
RDE—NT—UT—-LDE
You can also employ…
RDE—NT—NT—LDE
RDE—UT—NT—LDE
RDE—UT—UT—LDE
August 7th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
RDE—NT—NT—LDE
RDE—UT—NT—LDE
RDE—UT—UT—LDE
——————————————————-
If NT = lined up over C, how can you have 2 of them?
And if a NT is lined up over the C in a 4-3, where does the 3 tech line up?
August 7th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
J wiggle that’s where the name Nose tackle comes from is the alignment, the original term was middle guard. Where as the 4/3 is DT’s in the agap and the 3tech plays in the Bgap. The noseguard is a 2gap player it’s a very different technigue and respnsibility.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Amazing.People arguing over what a player should be called-NT,3gap-What difference does it make-the guy is a Defensive Tackle.Lets put the 2 most effective DTs out there-who cares what they are called to-just do the job.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:13 pm
Think about the pragmatics of what a 4-3 is…
It’s about freeing up the RDE 1-on-1 with the blindside LT. The NT sucking blockers for that, and for MLB gap assignment, run-stuffing. UT 2-gap has pass-rushing skills, more nimble, but also has some skill against the run, so he can shoot either gap, allowing MLB to take A/B-gap. The UT and LDE managing the stronger side, the RDE penetrating the weak, to contain the QB in the pocket and get at him from both sides.
The MLB mopping up HB up the middle, or blitzing other times, or dropping back in coverage.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
There isn’t a lot of new to talk/ argue about, so this will do for now. lol

August 7th, 2010 at 10:19 pm

Seems like the best way to do that is to make sure that OG next to the blindside LT has a DT in front of him to block.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
J Wiggle
I remember when the 3/4 was very popular in the late 70’s early 80’s when they started zone blitzing and crap. It was all predicated on the 3/4 which put a ton of resposibility on the one DT which they called the middle guard. He lined up right over the center and toook both agaps essentially becoming a 2gap player. prior to that the 4/3 was all the rage because of Tom Landry and based on his flex defense which means they lined up a yard off the ball.
But Front4’s were dominating. The 3/4 actually relied on the blitz. Now 35 years later the terms have all gotten mixed up, because there is no NT in a 4/3 alignment. It doesn’t even make sense.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
if we’re gonna bring in “depth” why don’t we bring in someone to dethrone frye? is brennan mobile? don’t know.
check out a CFL player named travis lulay. bigger, faster, stronger; better. played for the seahawks last few years.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
The LG will double the RDE if that DT isn’t a 1-gap NT. The Center can take that DT 1 on 1 then. Which leaves the RG, RT, TE, taking on 1 DT and 1 DE.
If that weakside DT is a 1-gap-NT, then the LG cant double the RDE…unless he’s not a good NT (eg, Kelly) and the Center can manhandle him 1-on-1 with ease.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
If it’s the terminology that’s getting us all confused, fair enough.
So break it down to gaps and techniques then.
The term “NT” is being used for what im describing.
The term “UT” qualifies the 1-gap weakside DT being a “NT” because Under Tackle refers to the strong side (Under/Over). And that tackle (on the strong) is by 4-3 design a 2-gap 3 technique.

——————————————————
Which brings us full circle back to my point of that scenario you descirbing never happening against us.
I don’t think there is a C in the league who can block Seymour or TK one on one.
If our front 4 is putting it down hard enough that they need to keep a TE in to help out, well …..

Richard Seymour = strongside gap DT
Sounds good to me!
August 7th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
J Wiggle
GG isn’t even taking into acct the SLB who plays in the Cgap over the TE. Your defense has to acct. for all gaps or it will never stop an offense. In the 3/4 the NG is responsibile for both Agaps the 5tech’s are responsible for both Bgaps the OLBS are respons. for Cgaps.
That’s the same thing as a front4 plaus one LBthe SLB who has the TE and if they go two TE’s you bring up the WLB. All gaps accounted for.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:39 pm
But based on what Cable said they’re looking at multiple fronts so this should be fun to watch.
Gotta go!!
August 7th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
Depends how Kelly is being used as a weakside DT, and depends how well or poorly Kelly plays down to down and game to game in that role being asked of him.
If Kelly is being used as a “NT”, 1-gap block-sucking weakside DT, then he isn’t very good at it.
If Kelly is being used as a 2-gap 3-tech weakside DT, then we have run-stuffing issues. Especially then with our LB play, as their gap responsibilities are attached to the DT gap assignments. If we’re not blitzing from the 4-3 with two 2-gap DTs, relying on natural pressure from the front 4, they have to be very good, but leaves us prone against the run.
Vikings utilize two 1-gap DTs (who also happen to be good) and they have far better run-stopping abilities and their LBs are not left on an island due to the clogging of blockers provided.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
GG Post #62 you don’t have a clue what you talking about. An UT is the same as a NT???lol you’re more confused than anybody.
August 7th, 2010 at 10:48 pm

If Kelly is good enough to get Haynesworth in a straight up deal, then why not just keep Kelly?
_________________________________________
J Wiggle you are missing the whole point. If a player does not want to play somewhere (ala Randy Moss when he was here), and will become more of a distraction and setback to an organization’s locker room, then oftentimes a team will look to see if they can get something of value, albeit not equal value.
It has nothing to do with Kelly being as good as Haynesworth, it has to do with time, opportunity, and the ability of two teams to make a deal. The Raiders and Redskins have already established a line of trade so to speak, with one another with the trades they have already made between each other, so the line of communication is open.
I honestly believe that the Haynesworth situation in DC is irreparably damaged and will continue to fester, the same way Randy Moss did with us back in 06. Kelly and maybe a 3rd rounder next season or even a second or 3rd rounder in 2012 might get it done.
Regardless, he is a weak link on our D-Line and hasn’t done squat for us in years. He is serviceable for somebody but he’s not the answer for the Raiders.
August 8th, 2010 at 12:44 am
Both confirms and proves me wrong. The usage of 1 or 2 gap. Tho the logic is the same.
—-
Nose tackles are two-gap players, and are typically very big and very strong men, usually 350 pounds or more and 6′5″ or taller. These guys have the responsibility of clogging up the entire center of the field, of keeping the center and at least one guard busy, and thereby protecting their middle linebacker. The nose tackle will also be responsible in passing plays to push the center back towards the quarterback so that the quarterback cannot step up in the pocket and evade the rush of the defensive ends. A good nose tackle can be hit simultaneously by 650 pounds of center and guard and will not budge as much as one inch.
A 3-technique tackle lines up between the offensive guard and tackle. A 3-technique tackle is supposed to run through his gap immediately. He is a 1-gap player. His job is not to block or get tied up in a block, but rather to be athletic and get himself into the offensive backfield and disrupt their plans. Because of this a 3-technique tackle is a lighter more athletic guy than a nose tackle, typically weighing more like 290 to 300 pounds.
—-
August 8th, 2010 at 12:48 am
He’s kinda wrong because 3-4 NT is 1-gap (both A’s).
Plus the 3-technique DTs, being athletic etc, they do shoot a gap, but they can choose between either. They play two gaps, either/or. Whereas a NT or 1-gap DT is supposed to clog up two blockers IN a gap, allowing a LB free access into the other gap.

Yeah I’ve seen Priest’s pro-JR, JR is god, posts.
The worst aspect of that is supporting JR towards the end of his Oakland days.
A lot of people (not me) were pro-JR upon drafting, even a year later (there seemed to be hope). But thru 2009 and off-season, the continued blind support of JR was questionable.

I was pissed when we drafted Russell….but then again I wanted Lady Quinn since we were running a WCO.
But yeah Priest’s love for Russell was embarassing
August 8th, 2010 at 1:06 am
I have no shame in saying I wanted Quinn (if we drafted QB), but i wanted us to keep Walter, draft Joe Thomas. Or draft Peterson.
I think it doesnt matter who anyone wanted, sometimes we lose sometimes we win (in predicting a future champ), but the main thing is we could’ve drafted almost anyone and been better off than Russell #1
August 8th, 2010 at 1:06 am
J Little………….please stop. You think the interior olines are afraid of the Kelly/Seymour combo? When has Seymour played 4-3 UT? We saw how awful Kelly was at NT in 06. No buddy you are doing your best to be viewed as right…you got it on Matt S, but here you are off….WAY OFF

We will see if Brennan bulked up a little, but when he played at Hawaii, and when he played for Washington in the preseason his rookie year, the knock was he was frail, deathly afraid of contact, and a below-average arm.
Either way, if he can stay healthy in camp and play well in the preseason he MIGHT make the 53. If Frye, Bruce, JC, and Boller are all healthy, he may get cut by the 3rd preseason game.
August 8th, 2010 at 6:15 am
I’m no DT/NT/1-gap/UT/3-tech guru.
But the best D-line we have seen in years was the NY Giants super bowl teams’, and I don’t remember any big, blocker-absorber.

August 8th, 2010 at 6:40 am
This is not an excuse if we appear to play weak against Dallas this Thursday. But, the Cowboys will have a double advantage in that they’re playing at home and it will be their second preseason game of the year. Since they open up this evening against the Bengals in the Hall of Fame game. BIG TIME ADVANTAGE. If we look good anyway, that will be a big credit to us. The Cowboys will surely have the upper hand.
August 8th, 2010 at 6:41 am
Good morning Raider fans. Just four more days to our opener, preseason that is.
August 8th, 2010 at 8:17 am
I hate the crackboys and almost threw up watching sports center when Emmitt told Daryl he loved him.
I posted this because of the next to last paragraph.
Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston Keeps Lost Art of The Fullback in Our Memory Somebody always steals the show at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony with a teary speech.
This year, though, they guy on the receiving end of the sobbing words did.
Emmitt Smith’s emotional thanks to his teammates was the highlight of Saturday night’s event, but it was his appreciation for his lead blocker, Daryl “Moose” Johnston that was most poignant.
Of the Moose, Emmitt said:
“Daryl Johnston, where are you? Will you please stand? You mean the world to me (tearing up) not just because we shared the same backfield, but because you sacrificed so much for me. People don’t understand what it took to be a fullback in our system, the sacrifices you made not simply with your body but your whole spirit. You took care of me as though you were taking care of your little brother. Without you, without you, I know today would not have been possible. I love you from the bottom of my heart.”
Johnston was forced to retire prematurely due to neck injuries incurred paving the way for the game’s all-time leading rusher, but like the majority of the 1990s Dallas Cowboys stars, he has found success in the TV studio. Along with Michael Irvin, Troy Aikman, Smith, and Jimmy Johnson, Moose can be seen talking NFL on Sundays, making him the world’s ambassador of the fullback position.
Fullbacks, it seems, are a dying breed. Since the retirements of Moose and Mike Alstott, the position has lacked a marquee player, and the game has moved away from bruising rush-heavy offenses to some extent.
Still, Smith’s words, as well as Moose’s presence in the announcing booth, remind us how great fullbacks can be.
August 8th, 2010 at 8:24 am
So now we have two QB’s that the Redskins deemed not worthy?
That could be because they have to have a pro bowl QB to compete in the NFC east and they know JC & the colt dont have what it takes.
Hopefully Jason has enough in him to propel us to respectable again, however I cant see Colt making the team unless Superbruce and Fry keep melting down from injury.
That cant be a good sign for either of them and our hopes for them
August 8th, 2010 at 8:48 am
Post#79 by GG is the most confused piece of double talk I’ve seen in a long time. The guy swomming in his own words. He called a 3/4 NT a 1gap player…………..which is just flat out dumb.
Anybody with a basic understanding of the 3/4 alignment knows the 3/4 NT is a 2gap player by definition. He’s responsible for both Agaps
Sometimes I think people get in here and start talking and don’t know how to shutup and just mak bigger fools out of themselves than need be.
There are times in recent years that we have shown a 3/4 look but our base defense for the last 10 years has been the 4/3 Sands would occasionally play NT when we show that alignment even Warren occasionally played NT in that alignment doesn’t make us a 3/4 team.
This stuff i too frustating to explain when you have people who are just here for the argument. But it’s basic football. Nothing extraordinary.
August 8th, 2010 at 8:49 am
I remember Colt in a BCS game against Georgia a few years back. He could do nothing against them. The coach pulled him in the second half of the game. After that he sat on the bench, with his helmet on crying because of the beating he took. I will take Frye and Grads over him any day.
August 8th, 2010 at 8:57 am
I agree Southern Raider he just seeems like a camp arm is all. I watched him in an all-star game and he look like a fish out of water. His arm strength is nil and he’s not very accurate. That’s the problem with these spread offenses. They always have someone open in the short zones. They just flood the short zones and hit the one of 3 guy’s who should be open. Normally 1 in the intermediate and 2 in short routes. It’s a joke of an offense but at that level it’s like taking candy from a baby. It would work about 5 mins. at the NFL level.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:07 am
Are we still talking about NT/ DT/ 1 Gap/ or 2 Gap?!
August 8th, 2010 at 9:10 am
Weneed a young QB to develop. If we don’t sign one the season, then I think we will daft one next year between 4-7th RDs.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:13 am
We can’t depend on trades and FA to get our QBs. We need to learn how to develop QBs, and this is the best time since we have Hue Action Jackson (good QB coach).
August 8th, 2010 at 9:13 am
I think they have to Raider O, Grads can’t stay healthy. I’d like to see us get a player who unexpectedly drops.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:21 am
BHP,
I thought we were going to draft Jimmy Clausen when he dropped to the 2nd. He is a Cali Kid!
August 8th, 2010 at 9:24 am
BHP,
I think R Mallet will drop to the 2nd or 3rd, and then we should get him.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:25 am
I thjink they should draft a qb for the future. Someone they can let sit on the bench and learn for a few years. Although Campbell may just suprise us this year. If he does he is still young enough to be theqb for the next 10 years.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:26 am
If the Raiders can’t develop a QB with Hackett, Tollner, and Jackson all on the staff, then something is truly wrong.
Although it sucks not having a first round choice next season, many competent quarterbacks can slip into the second or third rounds. Maybe next year is the year?
Even then, without a solid offensive line in place, a rookie QB isn’t going to do much good. If Veldheer and Campbell don’t develop quickly, The Raiders need to find an answer at left tackle (or right tackle) and center.
In my opinion, they also need to find a cornerback who can get mentored by Nnamdi and eventually take over for him. Because let’s face it, he’s not going to be around forever, and the Raider defense hinges on good man-to-man cornerback play.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:31 am
I think Campbell is young enough to be somewhat considered a guy to “develop”.
He seems to have the work-ethic, understanding of the importance of being a leader (a must for a QB), reading defenses and the like.
He just needs to learn to hang in the pocket better, and take more chances down the field, all the while not making the back-breaking turnover.
A fresh start was needed, but he has to do something with it, and throwing for 3400 yards, 20 TD’s, 60% but still going 5-11 won’t cut it.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:32 am
I like Campbell a lot! We need a better backup than GarbageKowski. We can’t depend on him due to his injuries. We need a young QB to develop so he can be a backup for now!
August 8th, 2010 at 9:35 am
Vegas,
I like Kowski as a backup, but his injuries are a concern.
If Mallet drops to the 3rd due to bad play or injury, then we should daft him!
August 8th, 2010 at 9:37 am
I think we should give Jason Campbell two or three consecutive seasons with the same offensive system, and see how he does. He has the mechanics, the leadership, and the work ethic. He just needs to be a more decisive passer. But Campbell has all the skills to lead this team, and some stability could go a long way for him.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:37 am
I can’t blame the 5-11 season on JC. They had no OL, no WRs, and go rushng game. They had a QB and a TE, and we all know that’s not enough to win.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:38 am
I should say, that also depends on how Hue Jackson’s offensive game plan pans out.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:39 am
Go= No*
August 8th, 2010 at 9:40 am
I was very disappointed Big Al didn’t pick up another running back. McFadden gets injured and is more of a passing threat anyway, and Bush checks out of the game whenever he seems to be on a roll. Somebody needs to pick up the slack, and I don’t see Cartwright or Bennett fairing any better than Fargas.
Then again, without solid run blocking by the offensive line, it’s hard to tell how good the running game is. But good running backs have overcome worse offensive lines…
August 8th, 2010 at 9:48 am
I agree YA. We should drafted a RB late in the draft.
August 8th, 2010 at 9:54 am
While Legarrette Blount is a similar back to Michael Bush, two power backs isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Especially on a team where the backs have to break most of their own tackles due to a poor offensive line. We could have picked Blount up as a UDFA. Oh well.
Part of me still wants to see Marshawn Lynch come aboard.
August 8th, 2010 at 10:07 am
I wanted Blount too, and I didn’t think he will be undrafted.
August 8th, 2010 at 10:09 am
A lot of people assume M Bush is a power back due to his size, but you should have watched him play at louisville. He is not a power back!
August 8th, 2010 at 10:11 am
He’s definitely got more moves and better speed than the average power back, but he still has the ability to run through tackles. Which is more than I can say for other backs on our roster…
August 8th, 2010 at 10:19 am
I think Bush is a really unique talent, and if used properly with McFadden and another back, we could have an amazing running game. Think New Orleans with Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush, and Mike Bell.
The key there, obviously, is having a competent offensive line. Kind of pisses me off how cheap Jammal Brown came when Washington traded for him… he fits the Shanny’s ZBS but has the size to power block. Another move I wish the Raiders had made, but hey, I guess there’s a reason I’m not a GM.
August 8th, 2010 at 10:31 am
Kind of excited to see them getting Marcel Reece involved more in the passing game, though. I wanted Dorin Dickerson in the draft, but he went way higher than I thought he would. Reece looks like he can be a similar player. He’s a FB who has seen time at RB, TE, and WR in college, and has great hands and speed out of the backfield.
With Reece on the roster, I don’t know why Lawton still is…
August 8th, 2010 at 10:39 am
Kinda just like you tj..

Let it all play out in preseason, cut downs will be coming soon enough. Reece has taken a little longer than I thought he would he has a lot of talent his problem is he does tooo many things well. I think he will be better utilized as a FB/TE I guess an H-Back the kid has legitimate 4.4 speed at 240 lbs.

Bills to speed up Spiller’s progress soon
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 8, 2010 2:04 PM ET
Bills running back C.J. Spiller’s slow introduction to the team’s offense may last roughly two days.
The No. 9 overall pick signed on Friday, and the team has worked him into the mix slowly thus far. Following the team’s off day on Sunday, Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that the Bills will start to integrate Spiller into the first team offense.
Fred Jackson figures to remain the starter into the season, but head coach Chan Gailey will want his most explosive offensive talent on the field plenty. Spiller already looks like the team’s top option on kick and punt returns, another sign he will be used differently than most first-round picks at running back.
With Spiller in the mix, Marshawn Lynch again looks like a spare part on the team’s run-first offense.

I can’t blame the 5-11 season on JC. They had no OL, no WRs, and go rushng game. They had a QB and a TE, and we all know that’s not enough to win.
********************************
They did have a great defense, and much better WR’s than we had.
It surely wasn’t all JC’s fault, but everyone just seems to gives him a free pass. 20 TD’s and 18 turnovers will not get us much better than 6-10 this year, because we won’t have the #7 ranked defense like he had last year.
And he sometimes plays to his opponent. His best game was against the Super Bowl champion Saints and his worst game was at home to the Chiefs(when he was benched at halftime).
He will have to play with more consistancy and fire this year, if we are to win the West, which is very, very do-able.
August 8th, 2010 at 11:43 am
I don’t think Jason Campbell’s problem in Washington was being on a bad team, necessarily. There are good players on the Redskins, especially on the defensive side (even DeAngelo Hall isn’t a bad player, but he’s a liability in man coverage, which was all the Raiders played during his tenure here).
The problem was the coaching staff. Zorn in particular was in way over his head as a head coach, and constant change in offensive philosophies pretty much rendered the offense useless. There was a story from Zorn’s tenure that over the course of the week, the offensive coordinators only spoke directly to Jason maybe once a week. The coordinators would make the play book for Zorn, and then have Zorn teach it to Campbell.
An unusually stable and competent Raiders’ coaching staff (especially now that Cable can let Hue Jackson work with the offense) is going to help Campbell a lot. It’s clear from the players’ attitudes that this year comes with an entirely new mentality and confidence in the coaches, which I don’t think has been the case in a long time.
August 8th, 2010 at 11:50 am
If Hue Jackson can utilize his power blocking for the run like Baltimore did, we’ll be in good shape. Bush and McFadden have all the talent of Ray Rice and Willis MacGahee. It’s just a matter of them being used properly.
I think it’ll also be interesting to see if those offset offensive line formations with two tackles on one side will be implemented. I think it might be a good way to get Veldheer or Campbell more involved. Hell, with as big as Langston Walker is, it might even be a good way to utilize him.

Don’t think the knock on Bush is fair.
Guy had a gut hit, and couldn’t catch his breath, and took himself out for the play.
Since then all you hear is he can’t take it, or whatever.
Having the wind knocked out of you is not something you just stand up, and it goes away.
Bush needs his reps to get in a groove, and should get them.
Dmac is a walking bandaid.
August 8th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
I think both Bush and McFadden are the kind of backs who need to see the ball a lot, because eventually they can break off huge runs. The problem with McFadden is that he can’t stay healthy enough to see all those reps. If the coaching staff can get him more involved in the passing game, like New Orleans uses Reggie Bush, he can still be a weapon for the Raiders. But I doubt he’ll ever be the Raiders’ primary back.
August 8th, 2010 at 12:19 pm

[...] training camp, canceled practice Sunday. The team doesn’t practice until Tuesday afternoon. At this point, don’t expect Colt Brennan to be an option in Oakland other than just early in training camp. [...]
August 8th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
Colt Brennan could be an option down the line, especially since the Raiders considered trying out Jevan Snead as well;
“The Raiders reportedly considered free agent Jevan Snead while searching for a No. 5 quarterback this weekend, but instead opted for Colt Brennan.
It’s another bad sign for Snead, who easily cleared waivers and is now an unrestricted free agent. Snead might want to explore opportunities in the UFL.”
Its looking more and more like the Raiders are getting as many options in tow as possible, especially since former Raider J.P. Losman has unseated Charlie Whitehurst as the backup in Seattle…I dont think Boller plays a factor in the long-term in Oakland
