Raiders-49ers chat

By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, August 28th, 2010 at 4:09 pm in Live chats, Oakland Raiders.

Checking in from the press box. If all goes according to plan, I”ll be on a live chat from 6 p.m. until the close of the game.

Since I’ll be watching the game, and am assuming most of you won’t be seeing it on television, it will be heavy on what’s going on on the field and as a result I may not get to a lot of questions, although I’ll try to sneak one in here or there as well as at halftime.

Comments can also be left here, of course, and if possible I’ll have a few in-game posts as well so the comments don’t back up too much.

    We get to see if DMac is real tonight. Will he or won’t he. That is the question about to be answered.

  2. KoolKell Says:

    Please God, no injuries.

  3. RaiderLen Says:

    I’d like to see Dmac break a few tackles, and run with some authority.

    Let’s hope DHB can catch a few balls as well.

    Most important of all.

  5. KoolKell Says:

    I’d like to see DHB make at least one play. Not one catch, but at least one playmaking play.

    I’d like to see if McSkinny can get by those pesky hash marks without tripping over them, and will be keeping an eye on young Jered at center, I expect the 9er’s will run a couple of blitzes at him. Also, that no one gets hurt…

    Good suggestion! Thanks.

  14. weaselbit Says:

    First row wouldn’t work for the Cinci game that’s playing.
    This one works though.

    http://atdhe.net/

  15. weaselbit Says:

    Has way better picture quality than firstrow too!!

  16. weaselbit Says:

    atdhe has it listed.
    Prob not on since the game hasn’t started.
    Have to wait I guess.

  17. JLofty Says:

    JB the Reno affiliate is carrying it Live. I’ll tivo it anyway tho. Got a party to go to after all.
    We get most all the games, thankfully, past the archane blackout rule distance and enough of the Nation watches to keep the local tv stations interested. Unless they are 1-13 going into mid-late Dec that is…

  18. weaselbit Says:

    Should be online then.

  19. JLofty Says:

    KK has it right tho. Glad Abreyo isn’t going to teach young Jared the pifalls of playing C in the NFL. At least for Campbell’s sake.
    McFumble will just be warming up a bit, I’d be surprised to see TOO much of him. And that’s prob okay. He’ll get his chance to prove himself in a few weeks….

  20. buckeyeraider Says:

    What is going on fellas?

    Been looking forward to this one. Pads oughtta be poppin tonight.

    Since they play again during reg. season, things could be toned down a little. But I doubt it.

  21. KoolKell Says:

    ————————
    Also they may keep the play-calling close to the vest.

  22. Raider O Says:

    TW,

    Try http://www.justintv.com.

  23. JLofty Says:

    I expect pads to pop good but the play calling and formations to be pretty vanilla.

  24. djohnnyg Says:

    “Please God, no injuries.”
    ===================================================

    Just figure that DMAC and Schilens will ALWAYS be hurt. I’ve given up on DMAC EVER playing like we expected.

    I just don’t count on him at all. I find that works best.

    And no more excuses for DHB. DO SOMETHING!!! Quit talking about how great this guy is and do something we can actually see.

    Thanks!!!

  25. buckeyeraider Says:

    I’ve been hoping the Raiders would sign a vet WR for awhile now, since theirs are so young and inexperienced. Hell, I was hoping they’d bite the bullet and sign TO, baggage and all. Thought he’d behave himself in Oakland.

    Still think Plaxico might be an option, if he becomes available. Big target for JC. Plus I remember Al was supposed to like him out of Mich state, even if he’s not typical Raider burner.

    But, the thing I’ve been hearing lately is intriguing. Not sure where it started, Bill Williamson..ESPN AFC West reporter maybe. But if TJ Housh is available in Seattle..I say go for it Al.

    He wouldn’t violate Cable’s No Knucklehead rule. Supposed to be a stand up guy. Plus, He’s worked with Hue Jackson in Cincinnati. From what I remember from the local media..both TJ and Chad really liked Hue and learned alot from him.

    This one might be the best fit of all. IF Seattle is willing to move him, I’d love to see him in Silver and Black.

  26. 909RaiderLifer Says:

    KTLA ch.5 in SO-CAL LIVE!

    Since those mutha effing dis- Chargers played last night, they can’t snivel to the NFL to have our game delayed…..

  27. JB Says:

    Buckeye

    Sounds like a god plan. Now we’ll just have to wait on Seattle. Maybe AD can call Pete Carroll and work a deal. They are friends so a sweetheart deal is always possible. Rather than just cutting him lose to waivers give them a 7th round pick. At least they’d get something.

    His add would be a plus. Schilens is most likely not coming back for any length of time.

  28. priesttj Says:

    I’m not as worried about DHB as I am DMC because DHB will touch the ball maybe 5 times a game while DMC is probably going to touch it 15+ which means we need this kid to get his feet underneath him and run with some skill and explosion. I’ll give DHB this year to develope while he puts up some decent #’s 40+ catches for 750 yards and 6 TDs.

  29. djohnnyg Says:

    Can’t pick up the game anywhere online. Anyone able to get it?

  30. 909RaiderLifer Says:

    Texans vs. Cowgirls on CBS…

    Will have to do for an hour….

  31. weaselbit Says:

    gonna be a defensive game sice the playbooks will hardly be open.

  32. Florida Pete Says:

    http://www.veetle.com/index.php

    watched the game last week and it was astonishingly clear and smooth…

    not like justin or ATDHE…

    but… it’s a legit internet provider…

    which means once the season starts the games may not be available…

  33. weaselbit Says:

    ATDHE.NET has both dallas and cinci on.
    Raiders are listed.
    Game will prob be on at 6.

  34. Bluecrew9394 Says:

    TW:
    it’s atdhe.net

  35. Raider O Says:

    I agree Pete. Veetle.com is very clear.

  36. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Anyone else trying to listen to the pre-game on the radio and they just are playing the stadium noise?

    Weird….

  37. Raider O Says:

    Can I get the game on my PS3, so I can watch it on TV.

  38. 909RaiderLifer Says:

    Like I said earlier, keep a close eye on those pesky hash marks. Those sneaky bastards always seem to find a way to tackle D-Mac, just as it looks like he’s going to break one to the house..

  39. weaselbit Says:

    Veeetle has nfl channel.
    About the same res as atdhe.
    On atdhe the cinci game looks real good but dallas game
    is low-res.

  40. Raider O Says:

    I think the 49ers have a very good defense, so this will be a chance for the offense to see what they can/ able to do.

  41. djohnnyg Says:

    Thanks for the links but I guess the game won’t start for another hour, even though it said it’s supposed to be on now.

  42. weaselbit Says:

    atdhe sticks a lot tho.

  43. KoolKell Says:

    Do you have to download something for Veetle?

  44. djohnnyg Says:

    Am I correct that the game isn’t on now?

  45. buckeyeraider Says:

    Pete,
    All I see is soccer on Veetle. Do you have to register or log in to their site? I see one icon for NFL…Guest something.

    Is that it?

  46. Guy Says:

    Game isn’t on until 6 and yes you gotta download something for veetle.

  47. djohnnyg Says:

    Thanks on both accounts Guy.

  48. ENGLANDRAIDER Says:

    Go Raiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Campbell is a big improvement but he does have some of the same flaws as Russell so let’s see how he does in this “game”.
    He does hold ont to the ball too long, takes awhile to make up his mind, and stares the intended receiver into the effin ground.

  49. ENGLANDRAIDER Says:

    KK:

    For Veetel you have to download their player but it doesn’t take much memory and a lot of their stuff is in HD.

  50. ENGLANDRAIDER Says:

    Veetle*

  51. priesttj Says:

    Truth be told the Raiders have already faced tw very good defenses this is the 3rd. Well the bears aren’t the monsters of the midway anymore but their front4 is formidable. Dalls ’s defense is among the best in the league the niners aren’t as good front to back. So the key with this game is the niners blitz packages they’re as exotic as they come they give you a lot looks and twist. Because the cannot man up against you they try to over load you and hope you make mistakes that they can capitolize on. If you can handle their blitz they can be had you can gash them pretty good. Especially with the pass their secondary leaves a lot to be desired.

  52. Just Fire Baby Says:

    LOL….Papa and Plunkett are trying to figure things out on KFRC 1550, and Papa goes, “there is more people on the field than in the crowd”, not realizing he had a live mic.

    Al is going to call him in the office for that one.

  53. Guy Says:

    Btw guys, I’ve said it before, did anyone see CJ spillers td vs the colts? I know they don’t have the best run defense but the way he juked defenders was exciting to see. Do you think a healthy McFadden could do something like that?

    We already have a power guy in Bush who seems to be more shifty than McFadden. I think the Raiders might draft a shifty back next season even though its not a huge need if McFadden doesn’t work out.

  54. Florida Pete Says:

    right now all i see on veetle is dallas / houston…

    hoping raiders show up as the game time nears…

    you do have to download the player… but it only takes a minute…

    the clarity is awesome… fluid…

  55. Thec07 Says:

    spiller is hard… Has great swivel, and football speed.

    I like his ex-stable mate better JFORD….

  56. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Last week the radio link from raiders.com sounded like the Chipmunks.

    This week, it has been in and out and keeps playing the compass media ad loop.

    A real top-flight organization huh? Jezus!!!

  57. Florida Pete Says:

    http://www.realsportz.net

    is also a possibility…

  58. KoolKell Says:

    ========================================

    CJ Spiller is going to be an excellent pro player. He runs a 4.2 forty. We would be VERY pleased if McFadden developed into that kind of back.

  61. 909RaiderLifer Says:

    Texans have been beating the hell out of Tony Homo so far…

  62. Guy Says:

    I hope he can end up like that too. I didn’t watch him in college, did he ever run like that at Arkansas?

  63. Thec07 Says:

    Just in case you guys cant see the game listen to it on the radio…

    KFRC 1550

  64. Thec07 Says:

    I love DMAC, however he does not have 1/4 of the swivel as spiller… This guy has some of the quickest
    moves i have seen in a while… Kid breaks ankles…

  65. Just Fire Baby Says:

    KFRC got the kinks out right after I took a swing at them.

  66. Florida Pete Says:

    we should switch DMAC and DHB…

    DHB can’t catch…

    and McTiptoe can’t run…

  67. buckeyeraider Says:

    Vegas,
    That is sad. How is that possible. You have two local, rival fanbases to draw from. I know it’s only preseason and all…and it’s a tough economic time for a lot of people, but jeesh.

    Along those lines..did anybody see Rodney Harrison at halftime of Niner-Viking game. Elevator didn’t work at the stick. Had to take stairs to the pressbox. Sad.

    How can two of the NFL’s most successful franchises W/ 8 VL’s combined..play in two of the most antiquated dumps in pro sports.

    Is sharing a stadium wth the Whiners, as distasteful as it may seem, the only answer? Is it feasible?

  68. Raider75 Says:

    Hope my link works.

    Post some links guys.

    atdhe.net

  69. buckeyeraider Says:

    The Oakland-Alameda County coliseum…I love how Howard Cossell used to say that. I would stay up past my bedtime as a kid to try and catch Raider highlights during MNF. Pre ESPN, obviously…was built when Ronald Reagan was gov. of Calif. for christ’s sake.

  70. Florida Pete Says:

    is kickoff time 6:00 Pacific time???

  71. Raider75 Says:

    yes

  72. 909RaiderLifer Says:

    Buckeye…

    For a stadium to get done is going to take some taxpayer $$ , the state is broke, and our assclowns in Sacramento still haven’t passed a budget that was due in June..

    However, Ed Roski wants to build a stadium here in SO-CAL only about 10 miles from where I live…that would be nice..

  73. J Wiggle Says:

    KFRC 1550

    ——————————————————-

    Is this this new home of the Raiders?

    Is this where the coach’s press conferences and such will be?

  74. KoolKell Says:

    I got the Dallas game on veetle?

  75. buckeyeraider Says:

    Five mins to kickoff, fellas.

    Gonna keep an eye on my boy Bruce Campbell. See how he handles physical niner front with all their stunts an games.

    Plus, I would love to see MM34 drop the hammer on Crabtree.

    Mainly though, as Kell put it earlier…no injuries, please.
    let’s head toward reg. season as healthy as possible.

  76. Florida Pete Says:

    it’s not up on anything yet… that i can see…

  77. Raider75 Says:

  78. Raider75 Says:

    Huff with another wiff

  123. 909RaiderLifer Says:

    UFCK!

  124. Raider75 Says:

    Gore breaks a big one. Huff misses a tackle.

  125. weaselbit Says:

    bad tackling

  126. SharkCatcher Says:

    bring in Mitchell…huff just isnt a great last line of defense against the run..This is alarming.

  127. weaselbit Says:

    running all over us

  128. Raider75 Says:

    Raiders run defense is NOT IMPROVED!

  129. E Turner29 Says:

    Chris Johnson is a better tackler then routt

  130. priesttj Says:

    It keeps asking me what channel what should I type in that window?

  131. Thec07 Says:

    Run d looking awful…

  132. SharkCatcher Says:

    Huff plays hard, but he just can’t tackle like a safety should. Art Shell was wrong.

  133. Just Fire Baby Says:

    McClain not getting off the blockers

  134. Thec07 Says:

    Once you click on the game if you have the player installed it will start playing. You will need to allow pop ups…So that it can install the V share

  135. BigTed707 Says:

    Routt totally got gored…smh

  136. KoolKell Says:

    Priest ATDHE.NET, ok?

  137. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Priest,

    Go the webpage, click live sports, go the Raiders game, download the thingy, than go back to the original page and click the game again….and it should be good to go.

  138. priesttj Says:

    Huff is just not aggressive when he approaches the runner he waits on the runner instead of attacking and taking away his angles.

  139. BigTed707 Says:

    nice, we held em

  140. Raider75 Says:

    wow. At least they will hold for a fg attempt

  141. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    STopping the run starts up-front.

  142. BigTed707 Says:

    NO GOOD! WTF Nedney?!!
    HAHAHAHAHA!

  143. Thec07 Says:

    man we need to stop the F@CKING run…..FUUUUU@@@@KKKK

    Huff is just not aggressive when he approaches the runner he waits on the runner instead of attacking and taking away his angles.
    ………

    He came up and made the hit. He just hit Gore though. No wrap up. Just threw his body into him trying to knock him down. More poor form than lack of effort.

  145. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Keep blaming the safety

  146. BigTed707 Says:

    The line got worked on that long run by Gore, but Routt should have had that tackle for a 10-12 yard gain.

    CJ37 makes that tackle. I hope…

  147. Raider75 Says:

    McChickenlegs in the game

  148. BigTed707 Says:

    GO DMAC!

  149. Thec07 Says:

    DMAC F@CK Break a tackle show some swivel…

  150. Kirk Says:

    Isn’t it fun that we look like a real pro football team for a change?

  151. shea801 Says:

    Gore had a hole big enough for a truck to go through, but Huff blew the tackle on that, plain and simple. Plus Gore in a trot is gonna win over Huff when going head to head every time :/

  152. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    I hope they don’t do that switch with the running back stuff.

    Michael Bush is the starter…Period.

    Don’t force it

  153. Raider75 Says:

    Myers drops first down pass.

  154. Thec07 Says:

  156. Florida Pete Says:

    trade Dmac for a coke and a smile…

  157. Thec07 Says:

    Tj, can you see the game now?

  158. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    CAtch the ball

  159. Just Fire Baby Says:

    D-Mac = ineffective

    Can we just move on??

  160. Raider75 Says:

    Corner blitz by Niners. Campbell hung in, took the hit, and made the correct read. Only problem was Myers dropped a wide open pass that hit him right in the numbers.

  161. Thec07 Says:

    Pass protection looking exceptional…..
    Center looking real good so far…

  162. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    See how the Raiders just WASTED that series screwing around trying to make DMAC into a pure running back

    Bush is gonna get you 2nd 5 and 6 on that 1st down run.

  163. BigTed707 Says:

    Has Atkins had a few?

    D-Mac = ineffective

    Can we just move on??
    ==========================================
    It takes the RAiders a little longer to recognize the obvious sometimes.

    BTW, How many times are we going to see 50 and 60 yard runs from the opposing running backs!

    Should only see that once every few games…not one or two EVERY game

  165. shea801 Says:

    That second run had everything to do with Patrick Willis comingn one on one with DMAC in the backfield. Chris Johnson wasn’t gonna get away from that. The problem was there was a gaping hole in the line to run into, but there was an unblocked Pro Bowl linebacker rushing through it.

  166. priesttj Says:

    Finally…

  167. Thec07 Says:

    Michael huff with a blast….

  168. SharkCatcher Says:

    huff…I eat my words… nice tackle mr huff!!

  169. Raider75 Says:

    Huff with a big hit. Still needs to learn to tackle.

  170. KoolKell Says:

    That Huff hit wasn’t all that big, jeez.

  171. BloodRaider Says:

    WTF Oline

  172. Raider75 Says:

    Run blitz again. McFadden has nowhere to go

  173. SharkCatcher Says:

    which lineman messed up there

  174. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Ok…ineffective as a RB

  175. SharkCatcher Says:

    What were yall saying about dmac stupids…? holding!!!

  176. Raider75 Says:

    Damn it penalties

  177. KoolKell Says:

    Raiders Specialty: The impeccably timed False Start.

  178. Raider75 Says:

    McChicken goes down by an ankle tackle

  179. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I’m convinced D-Mac should get more receptions than carries this year.

  180. priesttj Says:

    DMC just cannot break shoestring tackles it’s frustrating

  181. SharkCatcher Says:

    McChicken goes down by an ankle tackle
    —or tripped up by his lineman?

  182. Raider75 Says:

    Wimbley shows coverage problems and the man defense is part of the problem.

  183. Thec07 Says:

    If dmac had some swivel to go with his spead he would be awesome…

    lol..a guy misses one tackle and season is over…that was actually great coverage, great throw by the qb

  185. shea801 Says:

    At least the Raiders look more like a .500 team than a 5-11 team! I’m happy with that mediocrity!!

  186. RaiderSam Says:

    wack. good receiver out of the backfield…but cant break tackles…

  187. armond Says:

    he looked to be tripped by his lineman. alot of people just wanna hate on dmc.

  188. TerrapinRaider Says:

    Its not encouraging seeing these big plays on our defense. Wondering if Seymour really means that much …wow!

  189. Just Fire Baby Says:

    McClain struggling a bit so far

  190. Thec07 Says:

    Man we have zero intensity… The niners are etting massive push up front

  191. SharkCatcher Says:

    11 yard run…we need a big fat guy in the middle…we really Do.terdel sands..where ya at??

  192. Raider75 Says:

    Niners game plan is to work McClain. He is struggling so far.

  193. SharkCatcher Says:

    this is where a defense can show heart…lets go raiders…hold em to 3

  194. BloodRaider Says:

    woot

  195. shea801 Says:

    McClain and Houston need this type of game to get that “here comes everything and the kitchen sink” experience. Better now than in the regular season. As long as they improve over the course of the game.

  196. SharkCatcher Says:

    I like how Kelly is excited.

  197. SharkCatcher Says:

    lol…that was a flag..?

  198. KoolKell Says:

    Wow, anybody ever seen that kind of animation from T Kelly?

  199. Raider75 Says:

    BULLSH!T

    ……

    I agree. And if anyone knows how to attack a LB it would be SF head coach

  203. Raider75 Says:

    DAM! DEFENSE!!

  204. fat kidd Says:

    mcfadden tripped over that white line its too high,they should protest the game the white lines are too high!!!!

  208. KoolKell Says:

    Seeing Tommy Kelly jacked-up….Wow!!!! Singletary decided to throw.

    Tommy Kelly, luv that.

  209. Raider75 Says:

    Aso-moo-ga got robbed on that call. ;)

  210. BloodRaider Says:

    DMAC is about finess, Bush is power, we just need to figure out how to use him

  211. BigTed707 Says:

    Damn! When we face Vernon Davis, that’s probably a touchdown drive. smdh

  212. fat kidd Says:

    a nun just came out of the stands and leveled mcfadden!!!

  213. big pep Says:

    likw what i see, but huff is garbage.

  214. BigTed707 Says:

    Cmmonn DHB!

  215. Oakland_raiders Says:

    Too many big plays given up by the D

  216. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Good short yardage stop. But that’s a situation where the D knows its coming.

    They need to step on those 1st and 10 and 2nd and 6 downs where there’s uncertainty.

    Giving up big chunks of yards is not good

  217. Thec07 Says:

    We have all day to pass on these F@CKs continue to throw…mix in some bush…

  218. Thec07 Says:

    Right when i say that we give up a sack…

  219. Oakland_raiders Says:

    Is that Walker at LT?

  220. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Walker turns his back and someone rushes right behind him.

    That was pretty crappy to say the least.

  221. shea801 Says:

    patrick willis is a badass

  222. BloodRaider Says:

    did anyone even touch him

  223. shea801 Says:

    Nice to see screen passes picking up 10 yards when they decide to use it

  224. Oakland_raiders Says:

    Campbell isn’t looking as good tonight as he did last week

  225. BloodRaider Says:

    when we look bad we look real bad

  226. armond Says:

    dmc had nice 1rst run up the middle then got blasted cuz of a missed blocking assignment. had 2 nice catch n runs in the open field and then got tripped and thats ineffective. damn this blog can be so silly.

  227. SharkCatcher Says:

    sam Williams, …really ??? Al davis resign isiah ekejuba

  228. KoolKell Says:

    I bet the 49er coaches are playing all kinds of games with Veldheer. Those A gap blitzes for one.

  229. shea801 Says:

    Way to go special teams

  230. djohnnyg Says:

    That was freakin’ horrible special teams. They should be ashamed.

    There’s your ESPN highlight reel again. ANOTHER BIG PLAY against Oakland.

  231. Raider75 Says:

    Raiders seem to find a way.

  232. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    THe O-Line is looking BAAAAAAAAAAD

    Henderson HAS TO GO!!! MY GOD HELP US.

  236. armond Says:

    what the hell is up with rock cantgetright? imma start callin bokim woodbine if he keep it up.

  237. Raider75 Says:

    just great. typical

  238. SharkCatcher Says:

    aww man. thanks alot Henderson

  239. TerrapinRaider Says:

    Its just missed assignment …new rookie center i would guess not making the right calls. although when they do get it right the protection is mounds better than Satele

  240. Raider75 Says:

    and there goes the season

  241. BloodRaider Says:

    oh god

  242. armond Says:

    This is the thing with this BS ZBS. So called block the man in your area BS. How about just identifying a guy, and putting a hat on him.

  264. djohnnyg Says:

    Henderson should be CUT for this…and everything else..like sucking.

  265. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Sorry to put the hex on you Campbell. Get well.

  266. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    The physical teams will beat this Raider team up

  267. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Also, this should be a run 1st offense featuring power running from Michael Bush.

  268. J Wiggle Says:

    McClain is not impressing me at all. Needs to take a front row and look at how Willis attacks!

  269. Oakland_raiders Says:

    Ware playing with the first team

  270. Oakland_raiders Says:

    Just a stinger

  271. BloodRaider Says:

    thank god just a stinger, worried it was a broken collarbone

  272. djohnnyg Says:

    Just a stinger for Campbell. STILL Henderson HAS TO GO!!!

  273. BigTed707 Says:

    Whew!

  274. armond Says:

    bs call on namdi for that hold penalty. ware is a damn animal cb when it comes to hitting. figured campbell was just stung on that sack

  275. TerrapinRaider Says:

    Campbell reported to have a stinger. He’ll be OK.

  276. RaiderRobG Says:

    I’m 50/50 on this sack. It seemed campbell hung on a little long too.

  277. big pep Says:

    run 1st offense, absolutely correct.

  278. BigTed707 Says:

    Aight. Cmonn Houston

  279. Just Fire Baby Says:

    That must be one helluva a stinger to lay on the ground for 5 minutes and get carted off.

  280. J Wiggle Says:

    Wassup Armond!

    Was trying to watch Veldheer and McClain.

    This is kinda distracting, but the Henderson thin, had to chime in.

  281. Florida Pete Says:

    preferably with Bush…

    2nd choice… some other running back…

    3rd choice… Dmac…

  282. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    You guys have to let McClain come into his own.

  283. Oakland_raiders Says:

    Huff is all over the field tonight, playing a good game.

    I know there are a lot of Huff haters here

  284. Raider75 Says:

    Game is getting ugly. Punt return plus the hit on Campbell has taken the wind out of this team.

  285. 909RaiderLifer Says:

    Papa: “Goon news, Campbell ONLY has a stinger.”

    Campbell is goood to go, at kicking someone in the nuts…

  286. fat kidd Says:

    dmac just got hit by a 12 year old girl with polio he is out cold!!!

  287. KoolKell Says:

    The Raiders are getting their hat’s & coats handed to them on the way out.

  288. djohnnyg Says:

    Top 5 D???

    Not a chance from what I’m seeing.

  289. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Defense is sapped from all these 3 and outs.

    Not much different than last year.

  290. 909RaiderLifer Says:

    Getting gashed..

  291. KoolKell Says:

    See, when you catch the ball with your hands, you can make a play afterward.

  292. J Wiggle Says:

    A John Henderson sighting!

  293. KoolKell Says:

    They’ll get Morris in at Center in the 2nd half.

  294. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Too many 3 and outs on offense messin around with force feeding the offense with DMAC and a crap O-Line.

    I hope Hue is learnign some lessons here

    thats what we need a good old fashion QB Controversy

  334. TerrapinRaider Says:

    SLOPPY! SLOPPY! SLOPPY!

    And to be only down by 3 is freaking unreal!

  335. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Bruce has a big advantage having played last year and realizing we have a crappy line.

    Apparently, Campbell didn’t get the memo. Holds onto the ball too long, and doesn’t realize he is about to get his head taken off at any second back there.

    Tough way to learn a lesson.

    McClain is’nt looking that bad as they say ..just tells me how much Seymour means to the run defense b/c the holes that were opening up were HUGE! on the line.

  342. Raider75 Says:

    Does anyone here really think Campbell could not have made that throw?

    A healthy Campbell is the best shot this team has for a winning season.

    The Raiders are not really playing they’re game. They are testin their own players. Playing very vanilla. Force feeding DMC.

  350. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    They force fed him those runs up the middle….

  351. big pep Says:

    WHAT THE F HAPPENED MY CUZ JUST CUSSED ME OUT ON A TEXT MESSAGE, HES A NINER FAN.

  352. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Well, for Jason Campbell, the O-Line didn’t really block long enough for a streak down the middle.

    We will be seeing plenty of Campbell and all the backup Qbs this year.

    The Oline is garbage

  353. TerrapinRaider Says:

    Force feedin DMC stalled the offense.

    V is a much better blocker at Center than Satele but he’s not ready to make the calls. Thats likely why SF LB was coming free.

    DHB can ball. He’s going to have a good year if the line protects. He has sooo much upside.

  354. Just Fire Baby Says:

    McFadden has 4 carries for -2 yards.

    Enough already!!!

    he cant run up the middle, never could, not at Arkansas, he’s an end around guy

  359. armond Says:

    SnB offense defense specialteams Says:
    August 28th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
    They force fed him those runs up the middle….
    ——————————————————-
    they ran him 3 times. 1rst was nice positive one up the middle the 2nd he got hit cuz of missed block. 3 rd he got tripped. what about the 2 dumpoffs he got 1rst downs on but one came back cuz of a penalty. they are SUPPOSE

  360. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Armond,

    Running DMAC up the middle is not the way this offense will be successful.

    Bush getting 75+% of running plays will lead to success.

    DMAC = Reggie Bush…watch tape on the Saints and use him accordingly

  361. fat kidd Says:

    cut dmac cut dmac cut dmac cut dmac

  362. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Throw McFadden the ball all day, I am cool with that.

    But he just is not effective taking handoffs. He just ISN’T.

  363. TerrapinRaider Says:

    But man they look so damn good on their 1st drives …then they start experimenting with things …i guess it preseason

  364. armond Says:

    snb they r SUPPOSE to give him the ball. u dont keep him on the sideline cuz a bunch of damn bloggers say he cant rush. its like brian would say how he doesnt get the ball enuff already. now he should get it at all?

  365. fat kidd Says:

    dmac suxs dmac suxs dmac suxs dmac suxs

  366. TerrapinRaider Says:

    DMC looked much better catching the ball on screen etc vs his carring.

  367. KoolKell Says:

    I would say that Veldheer is not ready for Center, yet.

    Center would be tough for any Rookie, particularly one who never played there before.

  368. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    JFB,

    Unfortunately, DMAC has that 1st round tag, so they are going to give him EVERY chance to succeed..no matter how obvious and easy Michael Bush is making this for them.

    Just takes the Raiders a longer time than most to recognize deficiencies

  369. TerrapinRaider Says:

    DEFENSE is a HUGE concern here …WTF! They backtracked since Seymour stopped playing

  370. fat kidd Says:

    thats cause he sucks thats cause he sucks that cause he sucks

  371. mac Says:

    Bush up the gut,Dmac to the outside,maybe priest will tell everyone who can see whats happening that he has seen the stills and knows that Dmac can do it lol

  372. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Should have Bruce campbell or Veldheer working out at Left Tackle

  373. armond Says:

    so dmc forced the c to not pickup willis? dmc made murphy lineup wrong? what happened when he came oput of the game? oh i know he forced mario to get campbell knocked the fook out!

  374. KoolKell Says:

    DHB caught the ball with his stomach. You can’t make a play if you have to fall down to catch the ball.

  375. weaselbit Says:

    If everyone knows DMac aint gonna take a handoff he becomes a predictable-easy-to-cover player.

  376. Raider75 Says:

    Dallas has 13 rushing yards against Houston with 2:00 minutes left in game. Romo had a 72 passer rating and was sacked multiple times.

    Raiders better be ready when Houston comes to Oakland.

  377. mac Says:

    Bit strong snb,neither ready,plus mario is workmanlike

  378. fat kidd Says:

    i dont even have to watch the game cause i know dmac sucks

    DHB caught the ball with his stomach. You can’t make a play if you have to fall down to catch the ball.

    **************************\

    A catch is a catch …he caught the 2nd with his HANDS! Picky Picky. And the 1st was over the middle! Damn near every WR I’ve seen catches it with their body over the middle..

  380. weaselbit Says:

    NICE coverage

  381. BigTed707 Says:

    I saw that.

  382. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Routt having a pretty damn good preseason.

    I was a huge critic, but he has shut me up temporarily.

  383. Raider75 Says:

    lol. Holy crap

  384. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Giving up 6.6 yards per carry on the ground

  385. fat kidd Says:

    everyone repeat after me dmac sucks javon walker sucks jamarcus russell sucks.

  386. weaselbit Says:

    dbacks look good

  387. Raider75 Says:

    should have been a pick

  388. Raider75 Says:

    dmac sucks javon walker sucks jamarcus russell sucks.

  389. mac Says:

    Routt is pretty bgood,gets a bad rap,specially from most “fans”

  390. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Can’t stop the run

  391. Raider75 Says:

    nice block in the back

  392. weaselbit Says:

    Guy has a good return and Cable still yells at him.
    Cool.

  393. mac Says:

    Flag?

  394. edward teach Says:

    Cable was yelling at Boyd for that stupid block in the back.

  397. BloodRaider Says:

  398. Raider75 Says:

    can someone catch a pass?

  399. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Gradkowski has a great feel in the pocket.

  405. Raider75 Says:

    DHB catches another one.

  406. BloodRaider Says:

    nice catch for dhb

  407. weaselbit Says:

    DHB WTF!!!!

  408. 504 Raider Says:

    Bout damn time!

  409. edward teach Says:

    So, you guys still think we don’t need a veteran WR to make the catches we have to have?

    I’m all for letting the new guys develop, but if they can’t catch the ball you have to put somebody in there that can.

  410. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Dropping dimes

  411. RaiderRockstar Says:

    sorry i’m late …

    Raiders can’t stop the run

    glad JCampbell is ok

  412. weaselbit Says:

    Showed good focus on that catch

  413. RaiderKen Says:

    CATCH!!!!!

  414. Raider75 Says:

    McFadden found someone he can run over.

  415. Raider75 Says:

    Too bad they were holding a camera on the sidelines

  416. RaiderRockstar Says:

    ROMAC is getting abused, but already has 6 tackles

    Kirk who???

  417. weaselbit Says:

    They gotta run MCfad up the middle to see if he can do it
    He cant

  418. 504 Raider Says:

    Is a stinger the same as a crook?

  419. mac Says:

    RR,on your own time ,not the companys? sheesh,lol sweet

    throw it to JLH!

    Bruce is the man

  423. Random Drug Tester Says:

  425. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Still think Gradkowski is dead weight with that whopping 1.8 million salary?

  426. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Miller Time

  427. djohnnyg Says:

    That was against their FIRST TEAM.

  428. KoolKell Says:

    Vegas?

  429. weaselbit Says:

    Didn’t take Gradkowski very long, did it??

  430. edward teach Says:

    Good things happen when the QB has time to throw. Campbell must be saying WTF????

  431. Random Drug Tester Says:

    Grads looks rusty……..NOT

  432. Raider75 Says:

    Grads is a cool dude. He gets happy.

  433. BloodRaider Says:

    I so love Gradkowski

  434. priesttj Says:

    The Great Gradkowski Lives!!!

  435. Thec07 Says:

    Grads looks good…

  436. big pep Says:

    DANG FORGOT THAT GRAD LOOKED PRETTY GOOD AT TIMES.

  437. RaiderRockstar Says:

    JFB: JCamp got outplayed by Boller in the first 2 games

    this time Gradkowski

    do the Raiders need a scrub QB to make the playoffs or something ??? the team sure seems to rally around these 3rd string journeyman types!

  438. SaintKaufman Says:

    Just a little protection baby!

  439. weaselbit Says:

    When Campbell plays they say the Raiders are improving.

    When Gradkowski plays they look explosive.

    It’s not just that he’s the better QB, he is, it’s that they PLAY better for Gradkowski.

  440. RaiderRobG Says:

    One nation under a groove!

  441. VanHeathen Says:

    Bruce ALMIGHTY strikes AGAIN!again…

  442. RaiderKen Says:

    TY

  443. mac Says:

    true vegas,but any QB we have had knows that 80 is the man to go too,

  444. 504 Raider Says:

    Gradkowski keeps this up, Vegas will be our second best personnel guy. Might even get to bring his notes and sit in on next year’s draft.

  445. Just Fire Baby Says:

    What did Hue say was most important for a QB?

    “The ability to lead men.”

    Bruce is a leader, Jason is still working on it.

  446. BigTed707 Says:

    I gotta admit, Routt has looked good when challenged. I talk mad trash about him. But I gotta give him the credit he deserves so far this year.

    I’m all for whatever makes the team better.

  447. RaiderRockstar Says:

    1st half = no sacks or INT’s

    leader in receptions at this point = Heyward-Bey

    LOL!

    anybody see this coming?

  448. Random Drug Tester Says:

    Unless the OLine improves, we are going to need ALL 3 QB’s.

  449. KoolKell Says:

    Get Boller in.

  450. priesttj Says:

    Guy’s for the first time in many years I think we have 3 good QB’s that is better than a lot of teams can say. Most only have one a few have two not any I can think of have THREE!!

  451. weaselbit Says:

    Line may very well have blocked better for Bruce because they play motivated for this guy.

  452. TerrapinRaider Says:

    The drop DHB had really was due to a very late ball from Grads. He shoudl have caught it but it was so late threw timing all off.

    BUT based on this game alone he is looking like the BEST WR we have!!!!!

  453. djohnnyg Says:

    This has been basically all first team playing to this point and despite the many snafus they’ve made, if u take away that special teams screw up, we are up 21-10.

  459. J Wiggle Says:

    Murphy drops WAY too many balls. He needs to work with DH-BEAST!

  480. BigTed707 Says:

    I agree J, that was a lousy drop :(

  481. edward teach Says:

    Two bogus calls against our DBs in our end of the field. The refs are ready for the regular season.

  482. priesttj Says:

    Campbell is just fine JFB stop complaining we’re very lucky to get that guy just wait until he gets comfortable with this team the way Grads is.

  483. djohnnyg Says:

    Last year in our 3rd pre-season game we lost 45-3 to New Orleans (most important game is the 3rd as we know) and the season went that way; we basically were THAT TEAM last year.

    Playing like this in the 3rd pre-season game bodes a helluva lot better.

  484. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Murphy drops WAY too many balls

    Its preseason and they are running all sorts of crazy experiments that we wont see day 1…

    Gradkowksi must be the best kept secret in NFL history.

    Perhaps we can trade him for a NT or LT

  487. J Wiggle Says:

    I’d take Grads out.

    We’ve seen enough.

    Talk of him being cut = propoganda!

    I don’t blame Hue for the calls though. He needs to know what he’s got out there. Now he has a bette idea.

    BUSH is your starter
    DMC is too inconsistent but he’s very valuable in the open
    DHB can ball and its translating to the field.
    VELDHEER is a better blocker than Satele but he’s not ready to make the calls.

    What a clown.

  522. RaiderRockstar Says:

    SF will be tough during the regular season

    would still be nice to get this win though

    Cable still thinks we’re “changing the culture” or whatever … I’m sick of all that crap

    put some talent on both lines and watch us dominate

  523. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    This season is going to come down to the lines…will the o-line protect the QB? Campbell and Gradkowksi gettign slammed into the turf…

    Will the defense stop the big play…and stop the doggone RUN? Once again, another p&ss poor effort from the so-called run defense.

    They are in for a workout week 1….gotta fix it because so far…its as bad as it was last year.

    Also, Rolando McClain gets a bye year. Until he gets the protection up front…he will struggle

  524. TerrapinRaider Says:

    Preisttj is 100% accurate on Huff. He waits for the runner vs attacking. Just can’t do that. Its very alarming. So much so I would be considering making the change assuming Mitchell is ready to cover the TEs at SS.

  525. mac Says:

    Dmac between tackles?lol he cant pass the 1st.any hoo, time to go,its almost 5 in the am,cheers guys,been a blast.

    Do you play Brennan to see if he is worth the look?

  527. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Rolando McClain gets a bye year. Until he gets the protection up front…he will struggle

    expect a ton of tackles, maybe 8-10 behind the LOS and a piss poor run defense (again)

    basically, Kirk Morrison

  528. RaiderKen Says:

    JFB: Brennan = practice squad

    if he was good enough in camp, he’s good enough for the PS

    no chance he’ll unseat Gradkowski or Boller

  531. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Should have let the ball go into the end zone.

    JLH in his own world as usually.

  532. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Rockstar,

    Those fundamentals have to be addressed. Just inserting a new linebacker can’t fix the obvious.

    Still giving up a bunch of yards on the ground…tackles way beyond the LOS as you have pointed out.

    O-Line getting the QB killed….

    Hard to win if the big boys upfront don’t start playing at a much better level

  533. priesttj Says:

    JLH just has too many concentration and focus problems, why are you fielding a punt on the 3 yard line…………….STUPID!!

    Blaming the safety for the run defense is too much.

    Its the front 7’s job to stop the run and they aren’t doing it

  536. edward teach Says:

    Rolando McClain has filled more gaps in three preseason games than Kirk Morrison did in four years, and McClain is a rookie.

    There may be problems with the interior line, but McClain will never be confused with Kirk Morrison.

  538. RaiderRockstar Says:

    S&B: Seymour & Kelly were a part of a run defense that ranked 29th last year

    so you move Seymour from DE to UT and Kelly from UT to NT and say the interior D-Line (run defense) has been addressed?

    I think not. McClain has potential through the roof, but the Raiders are putting yet another Top 10 draft pick in position to fail

    Blaming the safety for the run defense is too much.

    Its the front 7’s job to stop the run and they aren’t doing it

    ***********************

    not blaming the safety to be sure …just highlightin that priest is right on this one. he just waits on the runner vs attacking and him getting burnt 2 games in a row for very long runs is alarming.

    the front played with seymour for 2 straight games …now thats interesting in that the defense only began looking week the last two games.

  540. RaiderRockstar Says:

    4th & 3 on thier territory

    go for it!

  541. RaiderKen Says:

    Terrapin
    I think we have to wait one more year to see Branch and Mitchell side by side, but I do agree that would be nice!!!

  542. RaiderRockstar Says:

    scrub time …

    Porter on the field

  543. RaiderRockstar Says:

    is MM34 a proven ballhawk or open field tackler?

    no. his biggest plays to date have been on ST or rushing the QB on a safety blitz

    don’t jump the gun fellas. change isn’t always change for the better

    see Bush to Barook for example

  544. TerrapinRaider Says:

    What have we learned today?

    Run defense is worrisome albiet without our best DLinman.

    Bush should start b/c he’s more consistent.

    DHB can ball and looks good out there.

    V is a better blocker than Satele but not ready

  545. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Carr & Dixon marching against our scrub filled 4th quarter D

  546. KoolKell Says:

    Well they had their chance at Carr and muffed it.

  547. RaiderKen Says:

    Brown look up!!!!

  548. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Any word on Campbell? Please respond to that and then move along. I don’t want to talk about anything else.

  549. J Wiggle Says:

    Some good might have come out of this bad run defense. I think Bryant on film has to be a failure at NT. Big John HAS to be in front of him now, right?

  550. RaiderKen Says:

    5:47 come D WTF reach down and grab a pair!!!!

  551. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Ken: Ricky Brown is nursing a bruised ego

  553. RaiderKen Says:

    RR LMFAO I think he’s still looking for his Jock!

  554. Raider75 Says:

    Can scrub d make a stop?

  555. RaiderRockstar Says:

    10 yards up the middle with SS Boyd making the tackle.

    all too familiar

  556. RaiderKen Says:

    6 minutes till I can watch the Game on TV

  557. RaiderKen Says:

    AAAUUUGGGGHHHH!!!

  558. RaiderRockstar Says:

    4 minutes until I can pretend this win means something

  559. J Wiggle Says:

    Dos Minutos: Let’s get some RAIDERS!

  564. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Heard is getting folded in half. Might not even be PS material

    ***

    no kidding. time for this kid to make a big play and earn a PS spot

    this team isn’t exactly loaded at NT

  565. weaselbit Says:

    firstrow.net feed doesn’t stick

  566. RaiderRockstar Says:

    we could have had Jamal Williams or Maake Kemoeatu in free agency.

    we could have drafted Dan Williams or Terrence Cody.

    just saying!

    :x

  567. priesttj Says:

    This is another garbage call for a TD he got stuffed………period

  568. Raider75 Says:

    no score

  569. RaiderRockstar Says:

    1:45 left

    Bruce or Kyle?

    hope JFORD takes it the distance actually …

  570. Raider75 Says:

    bs call again

  571. Raider75 Says:

    horrible

  572. J Wiggle Says:

    Camp star Brown beat on that play.

    Eugene is safe.

  573. djohnnyg Says:

    Better than losing 45-3 in the third PS game.

  574. armond Says:

    as i said the refs are in midseason form already. dudes helmet didnt even cross the goal yet he somehow scored. there was no view of the ball crossing and they give him the td. pure bs.

  575. RaiderKen Says:

    Bruce all Mighty!

  576. raiders22 Says:

    well i think we learned a few things tonight.
    a) without seymour we are dead
    b) mcfalldown is not a nfl hb and never will be, hes a scat back/slot reciever
    c) our o-line is matter of factly still terrible.

  577. VanHeathen Says:

    Why can’t we get a return game?

  578. J Wiggle Says:

    So Barnes is now the #2 LT?

    Odd.

  579. RaiderRockstar Says:

    1:30 to go

    just need 41 yards

    go Bruce!

  580. Random Drug Tester Says:

    I think it’s more like we have no true #2 LT.

  581. Raider75 Says:

    Ford runs bad routes. He is late getting to where he needs to be.

  582. RaiderRockstar Says:

    do they have Bruce in the shotgun because they know our O-Line stinks?

  583. Raider75 Says:

    No WRs on the field late. Dooms Raiders comeback attempt.

  584. armond Says:

    damn watkins suck. u have to make that catch

  585. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Damn what a pass.

    Watkins needs to catch that.

  586. J Wiggle Says:

    Watkins, Higgins, Miller, Figurs, and Ford did NADA tonight.

    Way to step up claim the job!

  587. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Veldheer is competing for #2 C and #2 LT with Morris & Barnes

    injury to Satele changed things a bit

  588. Raider75 Says:

    Raiders have had no talent on the field since 3rd Quarter other than Gradkowski.

    Where was JLH?

  589. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Forcing the deep ball on 4th and long, over a minute on the clock with 2 timeouts. Tell me more about how much of a genius this Hue is.

  590. Raider75 Says:

    Helps me out though.

    I know I won’t be watching the game next week.

  591. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Watkins, Higgins, Miller, Figurs, and Ford did NADA tonight.

    Way to step up claim the job!

    ***

    passing attack looks like DHB, Murphy, DMAC, Reece and an awful heavy dose of ZMiller

  592. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Where was JLH?

    ***

    he has a dance class on the weekends

  593. RaiderRockstar Says:

    we lost the Battle of the Bay!

    Fire Cable!

  594. SaintKaufman Says:

    Pretty good game. 2nd unit D could not get off the field, no big deal. Offense was pretty efficient, I see a lot more points this year. Losing is not always a bad thing, especially when it doesn’t count.

    Feel the burn fellas.

  595. RaiderRockstar Says:

    all jokes aside it’s 11:20pm in Podunk

    g’nite gents

    see y’all on Monday. some of you tomorrow for Dell’s fantasy football draft

  596. weaselbit Says:

    Time for the haters to celebrate.
    I’m out.

  597. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Fire Hue for that 4th down call. I know it’s only preseason but it’s a test for offensive coordinators, too. over a minute on the clock with two time outs, and you go to the end zone? Is this guy retarded or is Al still calling the plays? It’s one of the two. Don’t bother responding.

  598. fat kidd Says:

    that 4th and goal for sf they stopped them he never crossed the goal line.

  599. priesttj Says:

    Overall a good game, the defense took a serious step back for some reason, Dixon is a bruiser but a ton of missed tackles. We didn’t play nearly as tough as we did the other two games. But it time for the scribs to step aside I’m ready for the seasion.

  600. Thec07 Says:

    dissapointed on several fronts…

  601. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    Who said that the offensive line was sooner or later going to get Jason Campbell killed?

    Oh, right. That was me.

  602. armond Says:

    well we won the game when it counted but we lost cuz a bunch of scrub dlineman couldnt get off the field tho that wasnt a td. not havin seymour makes a huge difference. we need to get more physical upfront and our pass rush wasnt a factor.

  603. TerrapinRaider Says:

    Inconsistent

  604. fat kidd Says:

    cut watkins that should have been caught.

  605. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    Defense could have played better, but they were strong in the red zone once again. If they can hold opposing offenses to field goal attempts, they’ll be in much better shape than last season.

  606. priesttj Says:

    As far as the passing attack DHB is going to be fine sure he’ll have somebad games but I see 40+ recs 800 yards 5-6 TD’s. Sme teams will run on us some wont we still aren’t mentally tough vs the run. You hav eto play the run with a lot more fire than that.

  607. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    I don’t know about hue’s play calling in the end, Armond. What was that? Going for the end zone on 4th with 2 timeouts and 1 minute on the clock? Is that your most probable choice? I thought this guy was smart.

  608. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    If DHB plays the way he did tonight during every game this season, it’ll be a big boost for the offense.

  609. Tom "pimp hand" cable Says:

    Fire Hue for that 4th down call. I know it’s only preseason but it’s a test for offensive coordinators, too. over a minute on the clock with two time outs, and you go to the end zone? Is this guy retarded or is Al still calling the plays? It’s one of the two. Don’t bother responding.

    ————————–

    Its only a bad call becasue watkins dropped the ball. Hue had him in postition to make the play, watkins just didnt make the play. We need a lt and a true wide reciever. If i were al id try to trade wither routt, or johnson for, the ravens tackle, and a 2nd with a future 1st for v-jack.

  610. TerrapinRaider Says:

    The only thing i don’t like about routt is he’s not that physical. imho. which hurts vs the run and even in pass coverage is some instances.

  611. armond Says:

    defensively i thought we were all over the place. wasnt as intense or as sharp. weve got alot of new parts working 2gether so we need expect to see the d be inconsistent until around midseason. this team is a work in progress but once we hit our stride its on. still dont have a true identity yet but when we do look out.

  612. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    WATKINS WAS BLANKETED BY TWO RECEIVERS YOU F’N LIAR!

    It was a horrible call. That throw was right into coverage.

    You’ve got over a minute on the clock with 2 timeouts.

    THAT IS ONLY A GOOD CALL IF HE’S WIDE F’N OPEN, NOBODY ON HIM. TWO WHITE JERSEYS CAME DOWN WITH HIM.

  613. priesttj Says:

    BTW I’m not sure what most of you think about Marcel Reece at FB but I really like the guy he makes a big play every game. Great hands and very good speed for a FB. Doesn’t do a bad job lead blocking either.

  614. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Watkins was blanketed by two corners, I meant.

  615. TerrapinRaider Says:

    but routt will be starting this season over johnson.

    dbh really did look like our best wr out there.

    campbell shoudl be back for the opener. but vs tennessee i’m not so confident that it matters

  616. ajoakrader Says:

    the run defense is still a question

  617. Thec07 Says:

    1’s D did look good in the red zone….
    1st series we marched like soldiers…

  618. SaintKaufman Says:

    This was a perfect opponent for us tonight. They forced us to throw the ball and we did it very efficiently. Our schedule sets up perfect for this type of attack. No one is gonna see us coming, but if the Oline can hold for just 1 sec longer Campbell will light it up.

    We should become a pass to set up the run team based on our schedule. I would love to see McFadden more in the passing game as well.

  619. ajoakrader Says:

    we should have won the game. dmac needs some work but overall the raiders played well

  620. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    It’s already starting.

    Our new genius OC is already calling Davis-esque plays, just boneheaded stuff in two minute situations, and the spin meisters are already in full force.

    It was a good play Watkins just dropped the ball…Give me a f’n break. You don’t throw the ball into coverage on 4th down when youv’e got 2 timeouts and over a minute.

  621. armond Says:

    mr i thought we couldve mixed some underneath routes or even circle a rb out of the backfield. i partially agree with u on that but watkins has to make that catch if u want to win games.terp thats why i like cj better than routt but i give him his due this preseason.

  622. fat kidd Says:

    your full of it that ball hit him right in the bread basket go eat some creamed corn and go to bed you dont know what your talking about!!!

  623. ajoakrader Says:

    shame on henderson for letting campbell get blind sided like that

  624. Thec07 Says:

    Oline was up and down after the first qtr…
    They would look good onse series, and terrible the next….

    For the most part campbell nor grads was under major duress… The oline looked better in pass protection than they have in a while….

    Grads looked good also working in with the 1’s….

  625. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    I told you guys the Raiders look good, but Al will ruin it. We saw one example tonight. Blowing the game with an unnecessary deep ball. There were probably two checkdowns open that could have galloped for 20 yards after the catch.

  626. TerrapinRaider Says:

    Bush has a thumb fracture.

  627. SaintKaufman Says:

    Henderson is not going to sleep soundly tonight, A.

  628. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Fat Kidd, it’s harder to catch the ball when you’re covered. It’s a risk play. Only great receivers can concentrate when doubled, especially when the ball is in the air that long. Why go high risk when you can go with something higher percentage underneath?

    CAUSE THAT’S NOT WHAT AL WANTS.

    Hue is calling plays Davis wants him to call, and you know it.

  629. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    It’s official.

    Hue Jackson = Another Davis puppet.

  630. ajoakrader Says:

    Raider Nation lets rest the starters and get ready for the titans. that run defense is scaring me right now all i’m thinking of is chris johnson. they better work on that run defense

  631. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    I think it’s funny that people are freaking out over a 4th down play at the end of the game during the preseason.

  632. armond Says:

    priest i wanted reece to make the team last year. i like him alot but his blocking is an issue. he is 50/50
    on that right now but the ability to have a fb get downfield and get screens is a plus that no team really has.bottom line is our offense is still figuring out what to do and dmc and chaz injuries have slowed that. the oline doesnt dominate in anyway to allow us to rough up our opponents. when we get more physical upfront we will impose our will no matter what the defense does. right now we just arent man enuff to win those battles frequently.

  633. SaintKaufman Says:

    More like person, not people assassin.

  634. priesttj Says:

    Damn we always lose the one guy we cannot afford to lose MBush has to be ready if not we are in trouble.

  635. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    Veldheer didn’t look too bad at center. Hopefully they give him the start next week and see if he can build on his effort this week.

  636. SaintKaufman Says:

    which hand??

  637. ajoakrader Says:

    overall the raiders look good though just need to be more consistent.

  638. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Oh, now it’s preseason so it doesn’t matter, Assassin. If the play works, Hue’s a genius. There is no reason for Hue to not try and win the game. Especially against the Niners. First home game, too. Good boost for morale. He was trying to win, and you know it. It was no preseason to Hue. Wasn’t pre season to all of the players in on that play. And, it wasn’t preseason to you when that ball was snapped. It only became preseason to you when the play failed. Hue was trying to win that game, and failed making a horrible call. A horrible Davis-esque call, at that. Notice how none of you have refuted my point that it was a Davis like call. You know it is. He’s forcing deep balls that no other OC, sans maybe that moron Mike Martz, would ever use in that situation. Al’s still as present as ever, and the team’s STILL paying for it.

  639. ajoakrader Says:

    love grads. but Campbell is the key to our season hope he’s okay. Grads is just a winner though.

  640. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Al Davis gave the Niners another win vs. the Raiders. Nice call, Hue. er…Al.

  641. Thec07 Says:

    wasnt all bad…D seemed to take a step back. Did not hve the intensity, seemed we werent attacking, just reacting…

  642. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    The Raiders need to make a trade for offensive tackle depth. Henderson has been inconsistent and Langston Walker is Langston Walker. And if Pears and Barnes are the first guys off the bench, I fear for the health of every quarterback on the Raiders’ roster.

    3rd rounder for Jared Gaither? Matt Light? Trade Thomas Howard and the a 2012 second rounder for Marcus McNeil? Anything is better than nothing…

  643. ajoakrader Says:

    it always happens, raiders play good one quarter suck the next. consistent play is key.

  644. fat kidd Says:

    well al davis made the right call in pulling campbell and putting gradkowski in.

  645. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    The players played fine. Game management was flawed, as usual. Of course when an 80 year old calls the plays, it happens.

  646. ajoakrader Says:

    we will get the niners when it counts. thats the most important thing. f-the niners
    and every team in the league just like greg papa said we are the team of the planet.

    go raiders!!!!!

  647. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    Our plays are being called by someone who’s too old to see the field. I said it.

  648. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    We will not get the niners when it counts if we call plays like tonight, Ajoakrader.

  649. Thec07 Says:

    Papa Plunk and Flores are good for some laughs…

  650. armond Says:

    anybody know how to listen to the postgame show online. the raiders have made it much harder to listen to their show online now than when there on ksfo.

  651. JB Says:

    Watching the tape delayed game – end of 1st Q. My assessment so far:

    • Veldheer doing fine at C
    • JCambell seems to have adequate control of the offense
    • DHB is making some plays (catches)
    • Bush is the #1 RB
    • DMac is not a RB, he’s a WR in disguise
    • Walker needs to be moved inside to RG
    • Why is Cartwright KOR? Where’s Ford?
    • Keeping DMac in the backfield is a waste of downs.
    • Huff is on & off. Needs consistency. Not a good tackler.

    That’s what I’ve noted so far.

  652. ajoakrader Says:

    what’s up with the special teams why is’nt nick miller returning punts. i dont like higgen returning punts. special teams needs some work.

  653. fat kidd Says:

    its just a pre season game if it counted they would have kicked a 82 yd field goal,then a onside kick and kicked a 77 yd field goal a won.

  654. BornInOakland Says:

    CAMPBELL separated his shoulder (mid to severe) and will be OUT 4-6 (prob 8) weeks.
    Bruce G will start against Titans. This is confirmed and accurate info.

  655. Thec07 Says:

    whoa…

  656. Thec07 Says:

    Nah…..

  657. ajoakrader Says:

    goodnight raider nation lets get them titans on the 12. i’m up in temecula ca so i see all the games no tape delays here anyway GO RAIDERS.!!!!!!

  658. GRIM Says:

    BS touchdown and a dropped pass on the 1 lost us the game.
