Gradkowski to watch tonight closely
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, August 21st, 2010 at 10:41 am in Oakland Raiders.
One of the more interesting personnel decisions with regard to the Raiders has to do with quarterback Bruce Gradkowski, and he won’t even play tonight against the Chicago Bears.
Charlie Frye is out of the picture, having been placed on injured reserve after wrist surgery with a rehabilitation timetable which coach Tom Cable places at four to five months.
Kyle Boller, a former first-round draft pick, played well in a 17-9 win against Dallas and will get extended time tonight against the Bears.
Colt Brennan, who didn’t play against Dallas, is slated to play in the fourth quarter tonight. He’s shown an ability to complete passes from the day he arrived, and if you happen to be one of the handful of people invited to watch practice, you understand that’s no small feat.
Gradkowski’s advantage is that he has produced in an actual NFL regular season game. Neither Boller nor Brennan has anything to match what Gradkowski did for the Raiders last year in wins over Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Gradkowski’s game against the Steelers may have been the best game for a Raiders quarterback since Rich Gannon in 2002.
Working against Gradkowski is the fact that when he won those games, offensive coordinator Hue Jackson was the quarterbacks coach in Baltimore.
If Jackson determines Boller should be the backup, and Al Davis agrees, any credit line Gradkowski built with head coach Tom Cable for helping save his job means little.
Gradkowski’s one-year non-guaranteed tender at $1.759 million, reasonable for a backup quarterback, becomes a lead weight if Jackson determines he’d rather have Boller as the backup and Davis determines Brennan would be an interesting and more economical option at No. 3.
PEPPERS A BIG TEST FOR MARIO
Mario Henderson’s biggest claim to fame in training camp so far is he’s a hell of a bowler.
He’ll get a chance tonight to add something else to his resume tonight if he can neutralize Chicago defensive end Julius Peppers.
For what it’s worth, the Web site profootballfocus.com rated the 2009 Raiders as the worst offensive line in the NFL and Henderson as the worst lineman.
“I’m going to have a lot of challenges during the season. I might as well play one of the best during the preseason so I can see where I’m at and if I’m not where I’m supposed to be, fix it before the season starts,” Henderson said. “(Better) now than later.”
FIGURS MAKING A BID
Yamon Figurs may a big play and and a big return away from having a real shot at the 53-man roster.
The former third-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens has the speed the Raiders love _ his 4.30 time in 40-yard dash was the fastest at the 2007 NFL scouting combine _ but in the last week has shown the ability to get open, catch the ball and head upfield.
It’s a crowded field for smallish wide receivers, including rookie fourth-round draft pick Jacoby Ford, fourth-year man Johnnie Lee Higgins and and 2009 camp surprise Nick Miller. I suppose you could include Shaun Bodiford in that mix, but he would seem to be a real longshot.
If the Raiders keep Rock Cartwright to return kickoffs, one of four is your likely punt return specialist and the other three are in a precarious situation.
Coach Tom Cable cited Figurs after a recent practice as a player who has caught his eye.
“That’s what it’s all about,” Figurs said. “When you’re trying to come out there and make a name for yourself, when you get the chance you’ve got to go show what you can do, and that’s what I’ve been doing.”

B Grads sit next to DMAC & Shields the pine is warm there.
If our O-line doesn’t protect JC like their life depends on it we could start the season with Boller!
No joke..
August 21st, 2010 at 10:47 am
Lawton sounds like a real genius!
“I forgot that day”
He should be a front runner for the Dems in 2012.
“I didn’t have any air in my helmet, and if you don’t have any air you’re screwed,” Lawton said. “I forgot that day.”
August 21st, 2010 at 10:50 am
ugh, you’d think that boller’s actual game tape that spans over a few seasons and more than a handful of starts would speak more to his real abilities in games than impressive practice sessions and beating up on 4th string first and second year scrubs trying to just make the team. brennan… well, who knows really… boller may have a nice arm, but not everything that shines brightly is gold.
August 21st, 2010 at 11:04 am
The QB’s on this roster this year should JC, Grads and Boller.
Boller is the #2 until Grads is able to play and show what he can do.
I wonder if Brennan can be put on the practice squad?

I guess when you have had so much worse anything is better.
August 21st, 2010 at 11:34 am
Uh oh….Just Fire Baby…looks like your boy Gradkowski might have to watch his back.
You can’t make the team from the trainers table!
Imagine if the Raiders didn’t bring in J.C or any competition and went with Gradkowski, JaDavis and Frye.
Season would already be over.
Again…Can’t make the team from the trainers table…..unless you are a former 1st round pick!
August 21st, 2010 at 11:40 am
is the nfl ticket showing the game? they blocked the game in l.a.!!
August 21st, 2010 at 11:43 am
Watch any of Boller’s starts for the Rams last year, and you won’t be so stoked to see him as a #2, don’t care how much familiarity he has w/ Hue’s system…
August 21st, 2010 at 11:44 am
Kyle Boller, a former first-round draft pick, played well in a 17-9 win against Dallas and will get extended time tonight against the Bears.
*********************************
I don’t know if playing well would be an appropriate representation of it.
He made a few good throws at the end of the game against the bottom of the Cowboys bench. Got the benefit of a dropped INT, which would have completely told a different story.
Let’s see what he does again tonight, and see how Colt does as well.
August 21st, 2010 at 11:45 am
Great night from Mike Vick last night huh?
1-5 with two picks? YIKES!!!!
August 21st, 2010 at 11:48 am
Michael Vick is not a serviceable QB after his jail stint. He’s been gone too long.
Surprised the Eagles are even bothering with him.
August 21st, 2010 at 12:05 pm
I take it that both Schilens, DHB, Gradkowksi and DMAC will be out for this one.
More of an opportunity for Murphy, Bush, Boller and JLH to push or solidify their roles on this team
what if the offense moves with Murphy and JLH?
August 21st, 2010 at 12:05 pm
Tonights game is really not going to show much of our offense. Bush will get to run it, Miller will catch a couple and Murphy will as well. DMAC DHB SCHIL all riding the pine is not a good way to evaluate your team.
The entire offense better play against San Fran next week or the offense is patchwork at best right now.
I do think the one bright spot tonight will be the multiple sacks and INTs Cutlery set will throw to our D_E_F_E_N_S_E_!!!!!!!!
August 21st, 2010 at 12:08 pm
I am eager to see what Routt can do tonight.
He will get challenged and challenged often.
McClain in pass coverage will be out there as well. Think he will hold up fine, IMO. That kid is a stud.

Both reports noted that today’s Republican Party, which has held the executive branch for 20 of the last 28 years, garners less public approval than ever before.

August 21st, 2010 at 1:27 pm
DHB is not playing. I think the 1st QTR is going to be all about Murphy, Miller and JLH as far as the passing game goes.
I hope JLH is starting. I would like to see how he can do for us.
The most entertaining will be the defense. We have a real deal defense developing here. Seeing what Houston, McClain, Seymour, Shaughnessy and Scott are doing in the front 7. These guys with Nnamdi and Branch in secondary will carry this team

If DHB is not playing then they need to keep testing Ford, JLH, Miller and Figurs.

At Cables press conf. the other day,DHB wasn’t declared out but I doubt he plays after sitting the last few days, although he needs all the game exp. he can get.

I have been extremely excited about the addition of McClain this year to lead the defense but if there is one player out there that will be a tone setter for the games this season it will be mitchell

When you’ve got all these speed burner type returners, why do the coaches put a Cartwright type in there to return? I don’t understand that logic. Cartwright, while being a RB, he can’t hold a candle open field runningwise to the Figurs, Fords, NMiller & JLH types. Why the hell do they insist on the Cartwright type decision? Anyone out there have a good theory?

August 21st, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Raidersxy,
Mike Mitchell will help in certain packages but his coverage skills are not good enough to be able to beat out Huff and Branch.
Plus Branch can hit too.
I “think” what the Raiders are going to do this year is see if Huff breaks out and becomes that elite Free Safety…if he doesn’t…I “think” they would let him go in the offseason and move Branch to FS and allow Mitchell to be the strong.

Raiders counting heavily on LT Mario Henderson
By JOSH DUBOW (AP) – 1 day ago
NAPA, Calif. — When Mario Henderson gets beat in a pass-blocking drill at practice for the Oakland Raiders, he immediately hits the ground for his punishment.
With coach Tom Cable watching closely, Henderson starts doing push-up after push-up in hopes of building the consistency needed to succeed in the NFL.
“He’s got a thing where if there is something I need to correct in my sets, I have to do 50 push-ups,” Henderson said. “It’s tough, man. After I do that, my sets are straight. It’s no longer just a regular pass — now I am thinking if I don’t do this right, it’s 50 more push-ups. They are tough to do in the middle of a practice. We just started doing it this year and it’s going to help me to become better.”
Getting Henderson to play better is a big part of improving an offense that struggled mightily last season. Henderson allowed an NFL-worst 10.5 sacks last season, according to STATS LLC, and was part of a unit that slipped from sixth to 21st in the league running the ball from 2007 to ‘09.
With Oakland bringing back four of the five starters from that disappointing line — midseason pickup Langston Walker replaces Cornell Green at right tackle — the Raiders are counting on Henderson to return to his late 2008 form this season.
Cable is Oakland’s former offensive line coach and still spends much of his time at practice with his former pupils. He is pleased with what he has seen from Henderson so far this summer in terms of run blocking but wants him to get more consistent with his footwork in passing situations.
“I just want to clean that up, if we can clean that up I think we can get him back where he was playing there for awhile,” Cable said.
When it comes to the passing game in the modern NFL, a solid left tackle may be only second in importance to good quarterback play.
The Raiders thought Henderson could provide that last season after he ended the 2008 campaign by keeping Richard Seymour, Mario Williams and Gaines Adams without a sack and did not commit a penalty as Oakland won two of its final three games that year.
That performance was a far cry from the ones turned in by the raw player who entered the league as a third-round pick out of Florida State in 2007 and the one who was mocked by former coach Lane Kiffin during training camp in 2008.
Henderson believes the push-ups will help make him more consistent and get him off the rollercoaster ride he has been on during his three-year career.
“It gets you into good habits and when you are playing tackle, playing well has to become a habit,” he said. “I have to not even think about it, to get to a certain spot with my hands in the right place.”
Dallas got solid play from the offensive line in the exhibition opener against Dallas, allowing only one sack — which came from up the middle, not outside against Henderson — and averaging 4.6 yards per carry.
Henderson figures to get another good test on Saturday when he likely will match up against Chicago star end Julius Peppers.
“He’s made some improvements here this week,” Cable said of Henderson. “I’m kind of excited, and I think he will be too to match up with Peppers a little bit in the game.”
Henderson was hurt last year by injuries to left guard Robert Gallery. With Gallery missing 10 games because of various injuries, Henderson did not have his usual security blanket on the inside.

Henderson was hurt last year by injuries to left guard Robert Gallery. With Gallery missing 10 games because of various injuries, Henderson did not have his usual security blanket on the inside.
The rotating guards led to some communication problems on the line, which have been less of a problem now that Gallery is healthy.
“With Robert I can just look at him or he can look at me. You can nod. It works a lot better like that sometimes than when you have a different guy,” Henderson said. “So that’s kind of good. I know how much you can trust me and I know how much I can trust him on some plays.”
Henderson also believes his blocking will improve because of a change at quarterback from JaMarcus Russell to Jason Campbell. Russell was sacked on 11.8 percent of his pass plays last season, the most in the NFL. The rate dropped to 6.2 percent with Oakland’s other quarterbacks.
“Not to bad talk JaMarcus or anything like that, but there is more definition with Jason,” Henderson said. “If he says he is dropping back three steps, it’s going to be three. If he says seven, it’s going to be seven. It’s not three and then he drops back seven. (Campbell) is good at what he does as far as footwork.”
Notes: WR Darrius Heyward-Bey missed his fourth straight practice with what is being called “fatigue.” … Among the players unlikely to play Saturday against the Bears are Heyward-Bey, WR Chaz Schilens (foot), RB Darren McFadden (hamstring), QB Bruce Gradkowski (groin), LB Sam Williams (concussion), CB Chris Johnson hamstring

Does anybody else think that veldheer should start at center? he played really well last week and satele was gettin bullied by ratliff which was sad to watch. I think they should start veldheer at center and see what he can do against starters.
August 21st, 2010 at 1:58 pm
Been saying all week that Veldheer should start at center. Let him learn on the job if need be. He’s already better than Satele will ever be. If we are going to lose let’s at least do it with our best players playing – not sitting on the bench.
August 21st, 2010 at 2:00 pm
thanks again jb
August 21st, 2010 at 2:01 pm
not for nothing but i thought chris morris did a decent job at center when satale was injured
August 21st, 2010 at 2:02 pm
I hope we get to see Colt Brennan and NMiller play tonight – the more time the better. NMiller is a real prospect for the slot WR position.
LET THE KID PLAY. LET’S SEE WHAT HE’S GOT!
August 21st, 2010 at 2:02 pm
Satele had trouble picking up the blocking scheme last year, now a year in the system he has a better grasp on it. Lets see what he does tonite
August 21st, 2010 at 2:03 pm
right on jb, veldheer dominated that tackle on the cowboys and we really really need to see what he can do against tommie harris
August 21st, 2010 at 2:03 pm
I don’t think Morris will even make the squad this year. Satele is terrible. Morris was worse.

Peppers usually played LDE which is over the RT in carolina. Dont know if chicago moved him over or not. If anything he may be brutalizing Walker
August 21st, 2010 at 2:07 pm
WALKER AT RT . WHAT A JOKE
August 21st, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Henderson is still learning. He’s OK when Gallery is to his right and when he has a QB that can count & play the game (i.e. not a JaLoser type). The center can often come free on blocking assignments and help the offensive tackles on speed rushers. That is, as long as their names are not Satele
Morris.
August 21st, 2010 at 2:10 pm
i don’t think henderson is overrated. In my opinion he was the best o lineman when gallery got injured. He plays better with gallery at the left guard spot. Dont give up on henderson he’s shut down very good ends before. we’ll see what happens against peppers
August 21st, 2010 at 2:11 pm

August 21st, 2010 at 2:19 pm
IS THAT ON LOCAL TV ONLY OR ON THE INTERNET TO?
August 21st, 2010 at 2:21 pm
I have no problem with moving Walker to RG other than what/who do we put at ORT? I really would like to leave Veldheer at center. We need a SuperCenter to deal with today’s ultra big/strong NT’s. Besides, with Gallery, Veldheer & Walker in the center of the O-Line, we’ve got a very BIG/Strong wall. That would be a good thing – very good for the running up the gut game. If BCampbell can move into the ORT position, which may be the ultimate long term plan, we’d end up with the O-line we are all looking for.
I do think for now we’ll see BCampbell at ORG just to get his feet wet. Maybe the Walker BCampbell switch will happen later in the year.
Tom Cable, are you listening? Remember, it’s your ass that’s on the line so start making some good decisions.
August 21st, 2010 at 2:25 pm
I THINK KEVIN MAWAE IS A STAND UP GUY THATS WAY BETTER THAN ANYTHING WE HAVE AT CENTER.MAKE it happen al davis

DHB is not playing. I think the 1st QTR is going to be all about Murphy, Miller and JLH as far as the passing game goes.
I hope JLH is starting. I would like to see how he can do for us.
The most entertaining will be the defense. We have a real deal defense developing here. Seeing what Houston, McClain, Seymour, Shaughnessy and Scott are doing in the front 7. These guys with Nnamdi and Branch in secondary will carry this team
***********************************
Yeah well JLH and Murphy need to be starting, i dont care if Bey was healthy…..Tonight we shall see Murphy,JLH and Todd Watkins. Watkins is better than yall beloved Darling lil Nicky Miller. You gots guys like Raider O wanting JLH,FORD and Miller to be the back 3 WRS lol……he never thought about those little guys blocking in the run game huh? Watkins needs to be on this roster

tj is probably on hold right now waiting to be the first caller for the pre-game. He and Atkinson can have a mouth full of marbles while glossing each other conversation about how close we are to winning a SB.

Ravens staff love him, the put him in at fullback last week(he did fuk up) and played excellent run stuffing DT…….BHP knows his football……also the Raiders dont use a NT remember?

I like the 5:30 start. Our D will blow through early and often. The windy city will pull cutler early Cutler out out early.
The discharge was all over him last week and the dallasboots are worried about Romo after what we did last week.

August 21st, 2010 at 4:40 pm
If the Raiders are serious about Brennan making a run for a roster spot (I guess he won’t have to if Bruce just rots away) than they should play him more than mop up time.
Maybe most, if not all, of the second half. If he comes in for the last 8 minutes, that means they are still considering Bruce for a roster spot.
August 21st, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Vegas,Grad doesn’t need a lot of reps.The team knows what he can do.If anything Colt and Boller are going to fight it out for #3,IMO.
