DE Richardson has knee surgery
By Steve Corkran
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010 at 3:39 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Defensive end Jay Richardson underwent surgery on his left knee Tuesday and is expected to miss the rest of training camp.
Richardson hurt his knee during a live-tackling drill during practice Aug. 7. He has been out ever since that day.
Richardson, 26, posted the following message on his Twitter account: “I jus wanna thank the Lord, my family, and all my tweet peep and raider soldiers out there for all the prayer n support. Surgery went great!”
Fortunately for the Raiders, they have rookie Lamarr Houston to start at the right end spot Richardson held for 11 starts in each of his first two NFL seasons, 2007 and ‘08.
Richardson likely will return early in the regular season and slide right back into the defensive rotation as an integral part of their scheme to keep the linemen fresh.
More later after the conclusion of practice, and we have had a chance to get some feedback from coach Tom Cable.
Off to practice.

No sign of McFadden in Nappa.
August 17th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I wish McFadden was as good as his avatar on Madden 11.
He kicks butt on that game.

Coming back from knee surgery that quick probably meant a minor meniscus tear. That’s an arthroscopic procedure. He should be fine as that procedure is no big deal.
No DMac sighting is concerning. What’s up with DMac. Is he a player or is he a never-was. His clock would seem to be running out.
August 17th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
Dmac & Huff are both on my DO OR DIE list!!
August 17th, 2010 at 4:10 pm
Wheres Jerry? Getting mugged by his mechanic no doubt…
August 17th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Jerry is covering the Niners for a few days. Guess he drew the short straw.
August 17th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
We need J Rich!
Hopefully he’s back soon
August 17th, 2010 at 4:21 pm
What we need is an O-LINE desperately, these receivers we have are never going to develop with the pressure Campbell gets.
August 17th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
How many out there feel the time for “potential” is over? Now it’s time for results – What are you doing for us NOW?. Who should we add to the list? I’ll start:
• DMAC
• Michael Bush
• Tommy Kelly
• Michael Huff
• Chris Johnson
• Mario Henderson
• Johnnie Lee Higgins
• Chaz Schilens
• Darrius Heywood-Bey
• Langston Walker
• Sam Williams
• Stanford Routt
There’s also a must go list:
• Chris Morris
• Samson Satele
• Cooper Carlisle

I’ve had 3 Menescus surgeries.
August 17th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
As I’ve stated mucho times, as the Oline goes, the team goes.
Given time, most NFL qb’s find their rhythm, and play very solid.
Running for your life? Throwing off your back foot? getting slammed to the ground, over and over?
Look at Steve Young with TB, and then with the Niners.
From being pounded, and then traded, to League and Super Bowl MVP.
Not saying Campbell can do that, but sure as hell won’t find that out if the Oline can’t protect him.

I would add Chaz and DMac to the must go list, they simply aren’t reliable. Always hurt. Chaz, as I have said before, is a walking injury settlement.

I would agree to add them to the MUST GO list if they do not significantly contribute to our success this year. That would go for all others currently listed under the need results list.

WRONG! His investors are on the hook. Davis makes all his bucks from the non-negotiable “lifetime” AD Football Inc. consulting Contract. He gets paid no matter what. He probably also favorably shares in the NFL TV contract. I believe AD is probably a very small minority owner. Why expose your stash when it’s not necessary and you can spend OPM (other people’s money). This IS a great country nonetheless.

Schilens…oh well.
If he’s there come season start I am beginning to think its more a bonus. As Nnamdi21’s site suggested, that foot is probably not 100%. And if its not 100%, given its his foot and some small bones…that number might as well be 50 or 60%.
Let’s see if he plays this weekend. Probably should have signed a veteran for the receiving corps.
I know a lot of attention has been paid to Tom Cable and Al Davis’ handpicked O-Line…but I am beginning to think the the weak link is this wide receiver corps.
Look what we have:
Chaz Schilens – On IR watch…barely getting by camp
Louis Murphy – Shows ability..but puts a lot of balls on the turf
DHB – Someone called him an engima…well, he hasn’t shown anything tangible to date…just hope.
JLH – Lapses in judgement at times..poor routes…but he does get catches when targeted..don’t think the team sees him as any more than a slot
All other guys are totally unproven
Run the ball fellas

August 17th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
RaiderLen,
Many have speculated that Boller may be here not to push Frye…but to push Gradkowski.
Today, Boller and Gradkowski were sharing 2nd team snaps.
August 17th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
SnB, Right on the money observation of the WR’s.
If Chaz can’t answer the bell IR him and bring in a veteran.

I think Boller should be on the squad.

For me… Chaz = Frustration.

Something is telling me that Cable thinks/knows DMac is our best back by far and he absolutely does not want to put him out there for any reason until it counts.

================================================
Me thinks that Cable realizes that DMAC can be a great weapon if utilized properly, and he doesn’t want a hamstring… “hamstrunging” his effectiveness when the whistle blows for the real work.
August 17th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
I think Chaz is soft.
Also when he said “no comment” regarding Russell last year after a game and praised the other QB, he came off to me as a prick. Yeah Russell is a bum and deserve every criticism he gets, you don’t throw your QB (no matter how bad) under the bus.
August 17th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
504,
I think everyone sees Bush as the #1…but, what DMAC represents is a big play threat running and catching.
This team has been so broken down with injuries at key positions…they are being overly cautious with him.
He gets a couple snaps in the 3rd and 4th preseasson games total and that’s it.
I just hope he, and the rest of these YOUNG INEXPERIENCED players missing all this time are ready to go when the lights come on.
August 17th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
Hard to know for sure if a guy is soft unless you play with…or against him.
That rules all of us out.
I’d say that on the field, he has displayed no outward signs of softness.
August 17th, 2010 at 7:14 pm
The comments in this blog and the critique given to any Raider Player, who fails to perform at a acceptable level, makes me think some of you, if you were to be a boss or manager and give reviews to your employees, would be brutal.
The offensive line had some decent moments. I noticed in the Dallas game, the offensive line had power runs, but the back side they would cut or ZBS the D-lineman in their zone area. Did anybody else?
So I would guess their going to power right, and zone block to the left.
This will help Bush, more than DMAC. I will be interested to see, how the offense operates against the Bears.
The FB position is up for grabs, just need someone to take it over soon.
You saw three screens. Raiders have been a terrible screen team, looks like there working on the execuation of having screens in the playbook.

====================================================
I think he’s a tough guy. His injuries are real deal out of the lineup stuff.
His body is just injury proned. — Hurting your feet, ankles, knees or tendons are the worst things you can do. He’s had all of them at some point.
Its a tough game…the Raiders problem is how long do you wait before looking for a replacement.
August 17th, 2010 at 7:15 pm
504=Didn’t take it like that with Chaz.
I mean, when you consider all of the bandhanded insults others gave, including comments about a “qb that cares” or “qb who shows up at meetings” etc, a “no comment” reply, especially considering what was going on, was about as mild as you could get.
What could he say that was genuine, and apply?
Maybe something on the line of “I wish JR all the luck.”?
Both are avoiding the issues, and both a pretty mild.

Hi Dell, I hope they don’t plan on “Powering” right with ol Pooper Carlisle.
What did you think of Veldheer at Center, and Campbell at Guard?
August 17th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
O line and WR’s need to play at least a half against Chi.
Chi and 49er game are the two games to see what ya have.
After that a week of rest and the season is upon us…
August 17th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
RaiderDell,
I don’t think any of critiques are mean spirited. THese are observations of Raider fans. Do you think we all sit here wanting these guys to fail.
That’s what Priesttj and his gang think.
Chaz Shilens is any injury risk situation
Satele and Carlisle have been messing up
Tommy Kelly admitted in the paper yesterday that last year was a bad year and he was out of shape
JaDavis was on the Purple Drank and skipped meetings and was out of shape
DHB has not demonstrated that he is a serviceable, let alone, elite receiver at the NFL level after 12 starts and 5 preseason games
DMAC has missed time with injury and hasn’t put up the numbers.
Those are all facts and the Raiders have done little SO FAR to suggest much improvement (although J. Campbell & Hue Jackson is a clear upgrade)
Critiques are justified.
The offense looked stale last week and we all have a right to be concerned about that. Even if week 1

I read your comment regarding your home, and size. Pretty nice.
Love the Pleasanton area. I have very good friends in Castro Valley. We eat in Pleasanton quite a lot when were in town.

I disagree on DMac. I don’t see him as a Reggis Bush type of receiving back. I think he is more workhorse if you ask me. I think using him properly is 25-30 carries a game and 3 to 5 receptions. He’s a starter who could go the distance. Bush is a bullpen back.

504, Al Davis would kiss you on the lips for that observation.
DMAC needs to be healthy and on the field for 16 games this season, with an opportunity to put to rest the justified doubts.

There are others, who have no patience for some players. I understand your right to critique, as well as others. In the spirit of instant gratification, some players develop slower than others.
We have had 7 losing seasons in a row, and it has been down right frustrating, to wait for players, to meet their potential, as advertised when drafted out of college.
Some players are first year or second year, does that mean their a bust. Sometimes it’s just maturity and being in the right system to excel.
Think about it, most first year and second year players are 21, 22, and just left college. They have been pampered and told how great they are, then all of a sudden their expected to play a large role in the NFL. Not easy.
August 18th, 2010 at 1:18 am
Mr. M. Bush is the Raider’s best running back.
DMac fumbles more often and is easily shoe-string tackled by DBs.
Michael breaks many more tackles than Darren.
they compliment each other well
They both need to get the ball 25-35 times a game.
I would rather see them alternate that and get 120-150 yds a game, which would mean a solid rest alternating weeks with just 4-5 carries.
This better than each getting 10-15 and not ever getting any kind of rythm going.
