Seahawks-Raiders postgame wrap
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 at 11:46 pm in Oakland Raiders.
News, notes and quotes from the Raiders’ 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks Thursday night at the Coliseum:
– Coach Tom Cable and his staff used the preseason finale as a shell game of sorts, keeping veterans on the bench who were established and possibly even a few longshots they were hoping to hide.
With only a few exceptions _ wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey and center Samson Satele on offense and defensive end Lamar Houston and Trevor Scott on defense _ starters took the night off. They came out in uniforms but no shoulder pads.
Scott played exclusively at end, some on the right side, some on the left side.
A hint that perhaps that he’s going back to putting his hand on the ground as opposed to being a conventional weak side linebacker on first and second down?
Cable wasn’t saying.
“I think we’re trying to look at the versatility of a few guys,” Cable said. “That was part of the plan tonight with some of the guys playing the way we did and some other guys not playing.
“Just to kind of improve in a couple of areas, some specific things, and we’ll kind of sit down and look at it all as we get ready to cut this team and get ready for Tennessee.”
– Something’s up with rookie sixth-round linebacker Travis Goethel. He wasn’t present at the game, but Cable wasn’t going into specifics.
“There’s an injury issue, but we’ll talk about all that when we talk next week,” Cable said.
Cable declined to discuss injuries Monday, and wouldn’t even confirm surgery on the left thumb of running back Michael Bush, but must begin listing official injury reports with the league next week.”
Goethel looked to have a strong chance to make the 53-man roster, but if his condition is longterm, could end up on injured reserve.
– With Stanford Routt getting the night of, Chris Johnson started after missing the last two games with a hamstring pull and had a horrific night, giving up four big completions for 120 yards _ more than half of the 219 passing yards the Seahawks got on the night.
Assuming that Routt won the starting job, you wondered if Johnson could have possibly played himself off the roster or if his track record over the past few years would be shrugged off as a good player having a bad night while coming off an injury.
– Darren McFadden probably could have used some more work, but with the probability of Michael Bush missing the beginning of the season with a broken left thumb, he stayed on the sidelines so the running back corps wasn’t further depleted before the opener.
“Obviously there were some struggles with Chris,”’ Cable said. “We’ll just go look at it and we’ll make some decisions.”
– Kick coverage was horrendous as the Seahawks got a 99-yard kickoff return for former Raider Louis Rankin to close the gap to 27-24 as well as a 54-yard kickoff return by Cord Parks.
The truth is, all special teams units aren’t set up until the week before the first game when the roster goes to 53-men, and it’s a big tryout session for most of the preseason, with players being used in different combinations.
Not that Cable was looking for an excuse.
“Whoever goes out there has got to do a better job,” Cable said. “We’re just not getting off blocks in this particular situation. We’ll get all that put together in terms of everybody on the team who will be there. There were probably some people who hurt themselves tonight.”
– Khalif Barnes played the entire game at left tackle after spending most of camp as a reserve left guard. Barnes wants to play tackle, feels more comfortable there, and said he gave up only one pressure. He really didn’t know what to make of all the playing time _ he wasn’t told until Tuesday he’d be playing at tackle.
Could be the Raiders wanted to get him some work at tackle so he’d be ready at both spots. Could be they’re about to let hikm go. Barnes figures he got in some video if it’s the latter.
– Michael Benett rushed for 92 yards on 25 carries with a long gainer of 15. That came after a first half when he carried 10 times and had just 14 yards.
– Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey made the best catch in a game of his Raiders career, leaping for a 34-yard snag from Gradkowski and catching the ball with his hands extended at the top of his jump and getting both feet in bounds. Heyward-Bey also had a key block on a 32-yard screen pass for a touchdown from Bruce Gradkowski, as did Satele.
– Cable played it close to the vest regarding Satele. Veldheer was one of the people who did not play. Unless he’s injured in some way, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to have a Division II player considered for a starting job to be sitting it out.
– Fourth-round pick Bruce Campbell, on the other hand, played the entire game. He had a couple of penalties but shows a push-the-pile strength in late-game running situations.
– Raiders quarterbacks Gradkowski and Kyle Boller were a combined 14 of 27 for 285 yards, three touchdowns and a 126.3 passer rating _ the second straight impressive week for the Oakland passing offense.
Rookie fourth-round pick Jacoby Ford raced past the defense for a 62-yard reception which would have been a 74-yard touchdown had Boller not forced him to slow down and come back for the ball.
“The idea was to stay away from that safety and get past him,” Ford said. “Kyle made a great throw. I am really starting to feel good out there, coming into my own and enjoying it.”
– Cable said he has a good idea who his return specialists will be, although it was tough to discern from Thursday night’s performance.
Yamon Figures averaged only 2.5 yards on two punt returns and fumbled again. He did return a pair of kickoffs for 64 yards. Nick Miller had a 24 yard kickoff return and a diving 16-yard touchdown catch from Boller.
– Todd Watkins didn’t get in the game at wide receiver but played on special teams.
– Tonga made his final statement with the screen pass for a touchdown.
– Other than the kickoff coverage, Cable was most dismayed with penalties _ the Raiders had 11 for 99 yards.

10-6 afc west champions first round bye in the playoffs…
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:03 am
Travis Goethel was moved earlier this week to starting outsinde linebacker in place of Trevor Scott.then got a bulging disk out 2 months
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:35 am
Whatever. Let’s start the season.
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:39 am
Nick Miller is a keeper Cable needs to play him more
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:44 am
Mike Bush, has to take one for the team and play.
We will have issues if he doesn’t.
There is NO WAY McFalldown can be our every down back.
Some other RB who gets cut is gonna be on our roster if
Bush is out.
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:45 am
I really hope Colt Brennan stays on the team. He didn’t get a fair chance to show his stuff.
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:47 am
Pittsburgh needs a QB, we need an RB.
They don’t have anyone after Mendenhall, except Mewelde Moore.
Maybe we could pull off a NBA style 3 team trade.
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:59 am
Post#7:
Yeah, I want to see what Colt Brennan can do too.
He does have a way of getting the ball in there.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:26 am
This season is going to be fun to watch, I think we have a real chance at beating Tenn if we don’t turn the ball over. Keep Gale Sayers II under 125, man just thinking about that guy scared the hell outta me.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:28 am
If DMC can get us 100 yards and a TD we win going away. Oh! forget it he can’t get it done. Let’s just let it rip in the passing game.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:31 am
THINK IT’S CLEAR -
If Veldheer isn’t injured don’t be shocked to find out Satele played with the twos because he’s going to be a 2.
Barnes at LT? Well, if Veldheer is your starting Center you need a new back-up LT don’t you? Unless Veldheer is hurt, don’t be shocked to see him starting at Center.
It makes sense.
Can’t wait to see Jackson open up the playbook. Big gains with vanilla looks vs SF and SEA bode well.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:58 am
How funny that Javon Walker has a solid game today and Mike Williams is Mr.Comeback and we are supposedly thin at WR. Not saying they would help, but the fact is the Raiders thought those 2 guys were DONE.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:05 am
Could be Walker is finally healthy. Mentally as well as physically.
The Raiders, wrong or right, have committed to these young WRs however, and I don’t look for them to pick anyone up at this point.
Murphy will have to carry the group and hope DHB, JLH, and Schilens can contribute along the way.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:44 am
I feel you but you have to remember it is preseason. Most vets look good during preseason and those teams should thank the Raiders because they were not playing for us. Walker was a physical and mental mess and Mike Williams was over weight. The Lions let Williams go and Walker was let go by Denver before us so we were not the only ones who trhought these guys were washed up. They gave no effort!!! Al gave Walker the bank and talked him into staying and he still would not play, what a lack of loyalty.

They just releasd on NFL Network that theSeahawks were shoping around Hush Minzaduh (something like that). That would be a good pick up!
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:12 am
I said from the beginning that this Bush thumb injury was going to be a bigger problem than they let on. You can’t be expected to secure the ball with a broken thumb two weeks after the injury. The Raiders have no choice but to keep Cartwright and Bennett on the roster now.

** Luke Lawton doesn’t count towards the 53 man roster opening day – suspended first 2 weeks of the season **
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:26 am
Coach Tom Cable has repeatedly pointed out how bad the linebacker corps was last season.
I think Brown is in, because he plays both middle and outside linebacker. Howard, I think, gets traded … though he seems to have accepted his role coming in on passing downs, goal-line packages and special teams.
And I keep hearing that Williams makes it again because he is Al Davis’ guy, but you never know.
-Vittorio Tafur (SF Gate)

Tafur agrees with me on the LB situation
bring it Dell!
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:29 am
Think Walter McFadden is hurt. He has been sitting by himself on end of bench with helmet on for last hour. Either that or he is in timeout
Walter McFadden finally gets up and walks off real gingerly
-Vittorio Tafur (twitter)

crap! another guy down?
we need a nickel corner …
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:42 am
the Seahawks have Julius Jones, Justin Forsett, Leon Washington & Quinton Ganther at RB … is there room on that roster for Louis Rankin ???
If not, get him on a bus back to Oakland. always loved that kid!
LenDale White got traded by the Titans, cut by the Seahawks and is suspended for the first 4 games of the season. the Donks kept him over Justin Fargas and now White hurt his ankle – LOL

September 3rd, 2010 at 6:10 am
Patrick Crayton anyone? Good WR and he can be a return man if needed as well.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:13 am
Cuts that should be made:
Eugene
Pears
Watkins
Johnson
Williams
Should be kept on the 53:
Brown
Ware
Higgins
Ford
Tonga
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:14 am
Brown as in Stevie.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:15 am
9:10AM in NY and Im ready to talk Raiders!
1. CJ might have played his way off the team, DEFINITELY played his way out of starting. He will be better off as a nickle anyways.
2. We need a running back. Bennett and Cartwright looked abysmal last night, and I dont want to hear anything about Bennetts 10 carries late against practice squaders.
3. Special teams is going to get us KILLED! Janikowski and Lechler better be kicking out of the back of the end zone or we are dead!
4. We have a passing game?? We were sustaining drives? Who WAS that team?
5. We still cant get off the field on 3rd and long and that is a scary prospect.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:17 am
Patrick Crayton anyone? Good WR and he can be a return man if needed as well.

I don’t see Ware beating him out!
certainly not Thomas or Porter either
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:21 am
CJ is better than he looked last night, but as you said he wasnt getting any help over the top from Eugene, and he IS coming of a Hammy injury, so he might not have been 100% yet. Lets be honest, 2 of those big plays were PERFECTLY thrown balls by Charlie Whitehurst.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:21 am
Whats wrong with Walter?
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:22 am
in the first half, our running game was awful.
Bennett & Cartwright both still make the team though, I think …
However, we finally shut down somebody elses rushing attack!
Bryant & McClain weren’t active – coincidence?
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:22 am
season starting and very juiced up for the year. anyone can tell me how i can get raider games in NYC over ther internet other than DISH or DirectTV
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:23 am
Johnson was 100% healthy last year and got burnt a couple times a game just like he did last night. And he’s in his 30’s so his best days arent ahead of him.
I hope he gets the axe…

Walter McFadden = hamstring
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:36 am
Whoever is doing our pregame/prepractice warmups should be fired. WAY too many Hammy injuries
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:37 am
Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, apparently upset that Ahmad Bradshaw has leapfrogged him on the depth chart, reflected after Thursday night’s preseason finale on what he views as the harsh realities of being an NFL player.
“No one’s your friend in this business,” Jacobs told ESPN.com. “This is a cutthroat, backstabbing business. That’s just the way it goes. It’s been like that before me. If you expect anything else out of a business like this, you’re crazy.”
After back-to-back seasons of more than 1,000 yards and 5.0 yards a carry, Jacobs signed a four-year, $25 million contract in February of 2009. Then his production slumped to 835 yards and 3.7 yards a carry.
And now Jacobs sounds unhappy, saying he doesn’t know what the Giants’ plans for him are this season.
“Nope, they don’t talk to me about anything,” Jacobs said. “They do what they do.”

trade Howard & Bennett for Jacobs!

I like our WR’s
Murphy, DHB, Schilens, JLH, Ford, Miller young with a lot of potential.
Our RB,s not so much with Bush out.
DMC, Cartwright and a waiver RB over Bennet is my guess.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:46 am
Luke Lawton opens nice hole for Michael Bennett as Raiders rolling with the run. 8-yard gain. Lawton will leave the team and go on suspended list for first two games of the season. He will not count toward 53-man roster. If they want to bring him back, they’ll have to cut someone before Week 3.
-Jerry Mac

Agreed. LL will be back
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:48 am
Practice Squad:
Tonga, N Miller if he doesn’t make it, Slade Norris, Alex Daniels perhaps (can play both DL and scout team FB) . . .
-Jerry Mac

I even have NMiller on the 53 ahead of Watkins & Figurs after this preseason!
not ready to call him a DB Killer or Wes Welker though … Jerry Mac wouldn’t even call him Tim Dwight – LOL
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:49 am
Lynch looked great last night against the Lions… 5 carries for 7 yards. He will fit right in with our RB core

September 3rd, 2010 at 7:07 am
Kirk Morrison & Rolando McClain have each played in 3 preseason games
Capt Kirk has 8 tackles, ROMAC has 13. neither has any forced fumbles, sacks or INT’s
oh snap!
you guys were right. McClain > Morrison (sarcasm implied)
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:11 am
through 4 preseason games.
JAX ranks 22nd in run defense giving up an average of 4 yards per carry
OAK ranks 27th in run defense giving up an average of 4.9 yards per carry

and last night was our best showing for stuffing the run thus far – with Bryant & McClain on the bench (hmmm…)

RRS
I’ve seen your roster of 53. This year it’s harder to know what’s happening to the players due to the unknown injurys, also the Raiders are putting together a better roster than in years past.
So here’s my 53:
Raiders 53 man roster to open the season …
QB JCampbell, Gradkowski, Boller
RB Bush, DMcFadden, Bennett, Cartwright
FB Reece,
WR Heyward-Bey, Schilens, Murphy, Higgins, Ford, NMiller
TE ZMiller, Myers
OL Henderson, Gallery, Satele, Carlisle, Walker, BCampbell, Veldheer, Pears, Barnes, Morris
DL Shaughnessy, Seymour, Kelly, Houston, Richardson, Henderson, Bryant, Cooper
LB Scott, McClain, Wimbley, Groves, Goethel, RBrown, Howard*
CB Asomugha, Routt, Johnson, WMcFadden, Ware
FS Huff, SBrown
SS Branch, Mitchell
K/P Janikowski, Lechler
LS Condo
RRS, I was at the game and I saw some players who weren’t playing, who I thought were on the bubble and should be.
Our 53 is very similar. I keep Howard on the roster and you don’t.
The only other possibility I see in a change is, William Joseph over Cooper. Cooper can play inside as well as outside, and Joseph is strictly a DT.
Don’t be surprised to see Jay Richardson on IR, and Slade Norris to the final 53. Scott can play the LDE or Shaghnessey and Groves can play the RDE in an emergency. Norris would give the Raiders a extra LB, for special teams and back up the Will and Sam positions at LB.
Last year you had me hands down by 3-4 players.
I try to look at multiple positions. Some of the players must play with special teams as my starting point.
I watched the OL last night, we have some issues there. I hope HJ can move the ball around, and mix up his offense. The team as we speak, can’t just power teams in the running game.
Thanks for the fun.
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:25 am
RR,
McClain is a Stud!! Get over it!!
Worry about JLH and Huff, both players need to improve!
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:27 am
Start Mitchell at SS and Branch at FS, and let Huff play CB with Routt & McFadden. He can also play FS on passing downs!
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:28 am
what up NATION???
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:29 am
JLH <——- Is a Maker…
To those of you whom had him on suicide watch….wrong…
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:29 am
Raider O
I see you always have Huff, at CB. He is not a cover one corner, maybe in a Tampa Two, but not in Oakland. No WAY!!!
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:29 am
JFORD <——- MAKER who needs to get the ball…Period
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:30 am
HEARD SCOTT WAS PASSED BY GOTHEL. AND VELDHEER PASSED SATALE. GOTHEL MIGHT HAVE BULDGIND DISK IN BACK. SEE POST 3…SOUND CORRECT THAT IS WAY Scott plated whole game at DE. Barnes got long look at LT to be backup for Hendeson now that Veldheer is statting center
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:30 am
rookie of the nation will be between JFORD and LHOUSTON
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:31 am
Huff is a safety, and only FS. His strengths are read and react and plays are single deep safety better than anyone on our current roster.
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:34 am
Thec
At the game last night. Ford was open all night, he just needs to learn how to get in and out of his cuts, slips to much.
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:34 am
Eugene- cut
Williams- cut
Pears- cut
Watkins- cut
Joseph- cut
Lets go CAble guy get choppin!
I smell a trade for a RB today…

++++++++++++
what up Dell…Yeah thats been the knock. Sound like the injury really slowed down his progress as he was having an excellant camp. I hope he improves as he is a true weapon…
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:38 am
Interesting…also Houston playing back in the inside for stretches and doing a nice job shedding blocks. All this makes sense (Scott back to DE w/MShaug and Houston on run downs, King Rich/Kelly at DT w/Houston as primary b/u) means Henderson is out…only draw back is the need for a OLB…and the corresponding lack of depth there.
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:48 am
The plays the C Johnson have been beat on all pre-season have been exceptional throws and catches. Miles Auston catches and the throws last night for example. The scales of justice have been tilted against him this pre-season, but that is better than in the regular season. I have seen Routt burned too many times in the past to consider saying good-bye to CJ.
Also, I can believe after all this time Bush is finally going to be the starter and has a broken thumb. Hopefully Bennet can carry Oakland for the first quarter of the season.
Tough to want to cut N Miller, all he does is make plays and score. He does not get in for a lot of plays, but rarely misses a chance to make a big catch.
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:48 am
Our 53 is very similar. I keep Howard on the roster and you don’t.
The only other possibility I see in a change is, William Joseph over Cooper.
***
Dell: interesting
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Joseph & Howard over Cooper & Williams, since the two you picked made the team last year
I just think they’re out due to the additions of Henderson & Groves mainly

September 3rd, 2010 at 7:59 am
Interesting…also Houston playing back in the inside for stretches and doing a nice job shedding blocks. All this makes sense (Scott back to DE w/MShaug and Houston on run downs, King Rich/Kelly at DT w/Houston as primary b/u) means Henderson is out…
***
Irie: I was afraid of that
John Henderson is the only run stuffer on the field and he hasn’t played much this preseason for some reason … result?
27th ranked run defense through 4 preseason games
thats another big reason I see Joseph & Heard gone
Bryant is a lock, unfortunately – not impressed with this kid
Seymour, Kelly, Bryant & Houston at DT = no nose tackle. rookie MLB that overruns plays and seems to be better in coverage than meeting and smashing faces behind the LOS
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:00 am
I know Chris Johnson will get a major beat down in this blog today, and tomorrow etc.. I saw him pre game and he just wasn’t moving well, like i’ve seen in the past.
I was surprised to see him on the field for the opening series. I may be overly critical of Johnson today also, but he just didn’t look right to me. I just didn’t see that speed or explosion that I’ve seen in the past.
The hamstring injury was worse, than we were led to believe.
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:05 am
Dell,
I disagree. He played S and CB at Texas and he was projcted as an NFL CB and maybe FS. His strengths are man coverage, speed, and good hands, but the man is not a tackler!
He should play CB, and he can play cover one. He has the speed and the coverage skills needed.
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:07 am
If CJ isn’t completely healthy and he is assured a roster spot, why was he out there last night getting torched when all but 4 starters weren’t even dressed?
My guess is he gets the axe along with Eugene.
Asomugha, Routt, McFadden, Ware
Branch, Mitchell, Huff, Brown
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:09 am

September 3rd, 2010 at 8:11 am
Carl Weathers: you think we’ll only keep 4 CB’s?
last year we kept 5 and 2 of them were John Bowie & Jonathan Holland!
having 2 rookies behind your starting CB’s isn’t a good idea. especially when one of them has a bad hammy and (projected starter) Routt has been terrible since 2005 in regular season games
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:12 am
Routt>Johnson
Bennett>Cartwright>McFadden (between tackles)
Miller>Figurs
Howard>Nixon>Norris
Stevie Brown=ball hawk and playmaker
Meyers=needs to be replaced sooner than later
Murphy>DHB>JLH>Ford>Miller
Fullback Screen=our best play this season, but I hope Hue has more tricks up his sleeves when teams start game-planning for the screen.
2010 run defense=2009 run defense
2010 O-line>2009 O-line, but not by much
Barnes>Henderson at LT
I argued on here yesterday that I though Goethel would replace T. Scott at some point this season. Barring this injury (?) it looks that may be true eventually. Scott has been disappointing at everything other than rushing the passer; he is our new Chris Clemmons/Derrick Burgess.

Huff was projected as an NFL CB, and the experts compared him to Chris MC from the Ravens.
He is a CB trying to play FS. Be does well against the pass, but he can’t tackle!!!
He is a CB!!!!
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:15 am
Some compared him to Sir Charles, and that’s who he models his game after.
He wears 24!!!!
He is a CB, he thinks he is, and I agree. He wants to play CB next to Nnamdi with Mitchell and Branch at Ss.
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:15 am
RR
If McFadden isn’t 100% healthy than I can see Johnson being kept around.
But I can see them going with 2 rookie CB’s after Routt and Aso. They did start the year with 2 rookie WR’s las season so nothing is out of the question.

Raider O
After 2 defensive coordinators here in Oakland, and four head coaches, you say Huff can play corner, yet those coaches have never moved him to CB since he was drafted.
Huff, played a hybrid -back in Texas, he was never a DB. On some ocassions he was flanked out depending on the offense and his defensive scheme.
I saw a article a few years back, and Mack Brown was asked about Huff’s troubles and he said ” huff was moved around here to much, and would have been better suited for the safety position, we just like his playmaking ability for our defense”
Raider O, believe what you want,just has no logic of reality for Huff to be a DB, especially in Oakland.
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:17 am
Meyers=needs to be replaced sooner than later
***
I’m confused. Jerry Mac reported Tony Stewart was a better blocker than Myers and then a week later Stewart gets the axe
Stewart at least had adequate hands! I don’t remember him making any good-to-great blocks since he’s been in Oakland …
Myers has had a case of the drops that has plagued him even in “learning intensive” camp. Owens finally caught a pass last night, but I haven’t seen or heard much of him in camp or preseason besides that
could Owens over Myers be one of the surprise roster moves?

Morning Nation!
I am real disappointed with the way my guy CJ37 played last night. He was just a couple steps too slow all night, and showed no aggression. I thought for sure he was gonna’ look like Nnamdi out there with those second teamers, he looked more like Diangelo.
I hope Dell is right, maybe he’s not fully recovered, and he will get better. Right now I’m gonna have to say that Routt looks better
Grads and Boller looked good, as did Tonga, Ford, Figures, and Bennet.
Special teams was horrible in coverage all night, we really need some help there.
It was a fun game to watch, and a good last hurrah for the fellas who will be unemployed next week… NOW ON TO THE REGULAR SEASON!
GO RAIDERS (1-0)
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:20 am
if Huff was a pure cover corner, we certainly wouldn’t be giving CJ37 & Routt both starter money and keeping Mitchell on the bench at safety!
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:21 am
RR, I think last nights showing by JLH shows that you are right. Out of Figurs, Ford, Miller, JLH is the best. Both Figs and Ford had bad drops, also Miller and Ford seem to know only sideline routes. I noticed JLH make some nice hand catches over the middle in traffic,good for him. As far as Ricky Brown is concerned??? This guy can’t tackle period! I can’t remember if it was you who was talking him up with me two days ago or not, but if it was I hope last night showed you the light on this guy.

RNO: I basically said that Ricky Brown would make the team over Thomas Howard because he’s a good special teamer, and plays every LB position.
cheaper than Howard, too
depending on how severe Goethel’s injury, Ricky Brown would be the backup MLB to McClain for Week 1
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:23 am

Brown (Ricky) is pretty weak out there, especially in the middle. That botched tackle by him last night was awful, the dude is like a 5-year vet, up against scrubs and he cant even complete a simple tackle. I hope he is one of the surprise cuts, but I doubt it, especially if Goethel is in fact injured.

Yep Ford had two drops, one of them was a bad under thrown pass by the QB (he could of made his way back to it, but went to the ground instead?) The other was almost a swing pass, he was in the slot the WR went straight and he went to the sidelines under him. The ball hit him right in the hands and he just dropped it. On third down too. Out of all the small “slot” guys we have at WR JLH is the best by far.

Dell,
Logic of reality?! Ok. lol

Yamon Figurs is considered the favorite for the Raiders’ No. 3 WR job while Chaz Schilens (knee) is out.
Yikes. Figurs’ speed makes him a decent kick returner, but he’s well below average as a receiver. The Raiders will be using Louis Murphy, Zach Miller and Darren McFadden as their top three receiving options.
Source: San Francisco Chronicle
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:40 am
Bubble guys that should make the team:
Nick Miller – He can catch, he should be returning kickoffs
Khalif Barnes – Looked good at LT yesterday, should’ve had more snaps with first teamers
Stevie Brown- Made enough plays to wanna see what he could become
Walter Mcfadden – Ready to contribute as a rookie
JLH – Was able to get open and make plays in preseason, should return punts for us
Thomas Howard – he is our best Lb in pass coverage
Q Groves – looked strong against the run can also play DE
Bubble guys that should get cut:
Watkins – he’s hit his ceiling and there’s hasn’t made enough plays
Yamon Figurs – fumbles/drops when trying to make the team
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:43 am
I’ve seen CJ play much better than yesterday all last season, I’ll give him benefit of the doubt and say he was worried about the hamstring but all the Routt bashers gotta give it up to him. On a side note I don’t think Veldheer or Campbell are ready but Barnes should start LT, RG or RT for us…
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:45 am
Since we are talking about logic. What is the logic for cutting TH, our Best Cover LB?

September 3rd, 2010 at 8:47 am
Big Ben got 4 game suspension!
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:49 am
I’m not sold on CJ or Routt, and I push for Huff to play CB because I have seen cover WRs too, and he does a great job. I’m not saying let’s start him at CB, but let we should have let him try it. It was the last game of preseason. Let play 1Q at CB. Let’s see what he can do. Play him another Q at NB, and let see what he can do.
We moved players like T Brayton, Irons, Veldheer, Campbell, Reeve, and Nnamdi.
Nnamdi played S at college, and look at him now. The best CB in the NFL! period!
How is that for logic Dell?
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:50 am
Veldheer is your starting center folks. I dont know how well that is gonna work out, but clearly Cable is dead set on putting him there. Satele gets work on the 2nd team, while Big V puts his feet up, and then Barnes comes in to play 2nd team LT, which used to be Veldheer’s spot. It all makes sense now.
1s-Henderson,Gallery,Veldheer,Carlisle,Walker

Seymour, a converted 3-4 DE is gonna be our run-stopper on the inside? Nah, this Raider D is who we thought they were.
You guys remember that season opener last year, when Seymour tore up the Chargers O-line, after not attending a single practice. Then after being taught the defense by Marshall (or Al Davis) he never repeated that first performance.
Its the scheme folks, whether its Al Davis’ influence or the ghost of Darrell Russell or the curse of Chucky, our defenders are habitually out of place, undisciplined with their gap controls and overmatched at the point of attack.
Chris Johnson (of the Titans) will start his 2000-yard campaign off with a bang against us.

Bush, WMac and Goethel will go on PUP if the injuries are lengthy enough, that way they keep some of the others in the 53 and can activate either of those 3 when they return and cut whoever needs to go.

The Packers have received calls asking if G/C Jason Spitz or G/C Evan Dietrich-Smith are available for trade, sources tell the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Spitz missed 11 games last year due to a back injury and was never really given a shot to beat out Scott Wells at center this year. As an athletic and versatile interior lineman, Spitz would certainly garner significant interest on the open market if he’s cut. The Bills, Raiders and Chiefs should be calling Green Bay.

The term Physically Unable to Perform is the term for a rule in the National Football League which allows teams to designate players as “Physically Unable to Perform” or “PUP”. Once they are designated as such, they are prohibited from practicing with the team. They can, however, rehabilitate and participate in team meetings. If a player begins training camp on the PUP list, they can be moved to the active roster at any time, even after one practice. A player is not allowed to be placed on the PUP list if they start training camp on the active roster, even if they take part in only the first few minutes of the first practice.
A player who begins the regular season on the PUP list must sit out his team’s first six games. After that point, a team has three weeks to start having the player practice; once the player begins practicing, the team has another three weeks to put the player on the active roster. If the player is not activated by that time, or if he does not begin practicing within that three week window, he must remain on the PUP list for the remainder of the season.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:05 am
A player is not allowed to be placed on the PUP list if they start training camp on the active roster, even if they take part in only the first few minutes of the first practice.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:07 am
players injured during camp or the pre-season can’t be placed on the PUP list, per some articles I just read on the interweb. You have to be on the Active PUP list prior to training camp in order to be elgible for the Reserve PUP list at the start of the season. Much like Mike Bush when we first drafted him.
So Goethel, both McFaddens, CJ and Bush only have three options:
roster spot, waived-injured, or IR.

The rest is scrubs and saboteurs.

The running game got going late, 149 yds, but I think they will miss Bush vs Tennessee.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:15 am
That catch by DHB is exactly what we needed to see.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:16 am
Tom Cable – Lock, or on the Bubble?
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:16 am
So it looks like Routt stole CJ37’s starting job and Goethel will be out for a couple months….Another thing is that we have to give Bennett and Mcfadden a good mix of the carries because Mcfadden hasnt shown that he is gonna be reliable enough to run constantly… Hope he proves me wrong..Im not to scared of the young wideout group we have I actually think that they mite make some noise this year..JLH cemented his role on the team and it looks like Howard mite be on his way out.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:16 am
Tonga>Lawton
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:17 am
GG,
I checked multiple sources on the world wide web, they all agree:
nobody on our roster qualifies for the PUP list.
Also Lawton is exempt from the 53 for his two-game suspension.
So if Goethel really has a bulging disk, he might find himself on the IR.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:20 am
It looks like Patrick Crayton wantz out of Dallas we should go after him
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:21 am
Bart..
Yeah, Goethel, if it’s what is rumored, sounds like IR.
Bush could be 4-6 weeks, maybe longer, so maybe IR for him….what do you guys think–possible/improbable?
DMac, no idea what his injury is so have to wait for word.

September 3rd, 2010 at 10:23 am
The game last night was a total waste of time. So DHB made a catch….probably against a second stringer…our Special Teams looks like a disaster…we couldn’t run the ball until Seattle put the practice squad on the field…
Not much to glean from that game…other than I wish we had kept Rankin last year, at least then we would have one guy that could return kicks…
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:23 am
Bush on the bench, what value D McRunningback?
Week 1 prediction:
McRunningback – 14 carries for 60 yards (one toss-pitch left for 12 yards and the other 13 carries for 3.2 YPC).
2 catches for 14 yards also.
McRunningback will mishandle the ball twice but neither will result in turnovers.
Sometime during the contest McRunningback will get dinged or tweaked resulting in his missing at least weeks 2, 3 and 4.
overall evaluation? ordinary non-productiveness once again but at least not a menace to victory.

Where did you hear that McFadden is injured? The rookie McFadden pulled up lame last night, but I thought D McFadden simply didn’t play ala most of the other starters.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:26 am
If we pass to set up the run, i think Dmac can then be effective. If we run to set up the pass, Dmac will be ineffective.
imo

September 3rd, 2010 at 10:28 am
We run Mcfadden in the wrong plays for some reason every1 thinks he should be ran like his name was Jerome Bettis… Stop running him between the tackles every play it gets annoying
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:30 am
Our starting OL should be:
Barnes, Gallery, Satele, Carlisle, Walker
-This will ruin Hendersons confidence but Barnes gives us the best chance to win now
-Veldheer has more upside but Satele = less mistakes
-Campbell is a good prospect just not ready
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:30 am
McFadden can be good inside rusher if we do this….3-4 WR sets delayed hand-off.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:31 am
Id way rather put Barnes on the right side and keep Hendo where he’s at and then trade Carlisle for a new ball boy
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:31 am
hmm, with these new revelations in mind:
(3) Campbell,Grads,Boller
(6) Schilens,Murphy,DHB,Higgins,Ford,Miller
(2) Miller,Meyers
(4) Bush,McFadden,Bennett,Cartwright
(1) Reece
(4) Henderson,Barnes,Walker,Pears (or waiver-wire)
(5) Gallery,Satele,Veldheer,Campbell,Carlisle
(4) Seymour,Kelly,Bryant,Henderson
(4) Houston,Shaugnessy,Richardson,Scott
(6) McClain,Wimbley,Groves,Howard,Williams,Brown
(4) Branch,Mitchell,Huff,Brown
(6) NA,Routt,CJ,McFadden,Eugene,Ware
(3) Jkow,Lechler,Condo
One spot remains for either Goethel, Morris, Loper Cooper, Joseph or a pick-up from the waiver wire or trades.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:33 am
No way Bush goes on IR. It would put him out for the entire season.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:34 am
GG yea that would work but we need to mix stuff up alil..Yea I guess its Pre-Season and they wanna play vanilla but man we need to get him on the outside alot more..I do like him setting up as a receiver. Im very optimistic about the team just want to see some mix up in the play calling
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:35 am
When DMAC gets his first carry on the infield = injury
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:35 am

Good news, Louis Rankin is unlikely to make the Seahawks 53 ahead of Justin Forsett, Leon Washington, Quinton Ganther, Julius Jones abd Owen Schmitt.
Maybe we can steal him back.

Raiders will blow late lead against Tennessee.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:36 am
RMR, sounds about right!
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:37 am
If he got his injury pre-season week 1 he would heal on the 53 in time for say week 3-4 of reg season, but he got it end of pre-season week 3, and if the injury is as troublesome to mend as reported, then he could be gone for half the season. That’s a long time to occupy a roster spot.
{just playing devil’s advocate}
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:37 am
I do think Mcfadden will have success with the screens.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:37 am

September 3rd, 2010 at 10:40 am
late in the game, Raiders are in need of ball control offense. a push-the-pile-wear-down-the-opponent mode.
even Dakota understands that is no time for McStumble/McFumble/McFalldown to be on the field.

7 receptions, 2 TDs, 120 yards
Unders/Overs
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:45 am
Only saw the first half so far, but CJ is worse than McFadden and Ware. I guess we were just so happy to see anyone not named MeAngelo that half of year that CJ seemed different.
Last year he was not that good.
So far this preseason, he’s not that good.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:45 am
Ill take the under on that 1 just because if I lose ill still be happy and if I win I got money in the pocket

Not to be a party pooper….but I’ll take the under on that.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:45 am
6 rec., 1 TD, 98 yrds.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:45 am
Bush is left handed He will be able to take hand-offs, but will have to carry the ball probably with his right hand. Depending on the size and restrictiveness of his bandage, he will not be catching passes for a while and certainly will not be able to throw the option pass. Ball security will be the key.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:45 am
What does Veldheer getting the night of mean?
Starting C?
Where’s Priest ????
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:46 am
if we can shelf Nick Miller for 15 weeks, we can certainly do the same for Bush, Schilens, Goethel, WMcFadden, Richardson, JCampbell, etc …
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:46 am
I was gonna say…
3 receptions, 1 TD, 50 yards, but that’s too iffy a bet.
Im going overs on the 7-2-120 just because im a glutton for punishment.
Mind you, when he does get receptions this season, it’s around 20 ypc.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:46 am
J Hill it seems that CJ37 is just losing his step… Rout is that starter and thats hard for me to say because I hated on routt all year last year…Hope he proves me wrong
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:47 am
Tonga was a pretty decent runner in college, I wonder if there is any notion of keeping him to act as the 4th Quarter bruiser back, to wear down the D and kill the clock. He catches a nice screen as well. Otherwise, without Bush we are totally lost in the 4th quarter; McFadden off-tackle is a joke, Bennett is a nice change of pace guy, but isnt built for punishing a defense and Cartwright looks totally awkward as a HB.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:47 am
The Raiders are sure executing those screens nicely, with everybody.
They should work for DMAC too, if he has the patience to let his blocks develop, which he has not shown.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:48 am
Ill say 3 catches for 55 yards and 1 td

Bottom line is I disagree with you that there is no drop off, NONE you said, from JC to Gradowski. I like Gradowski as a backup, and apparently the coaches feel the same way.
What are you arguing dude? Get some original points already. I like Gradowski on the team and never said he should be cut. Why don’t you take your so called point up with Al Davis, Hue Jackson, Cable, and every other NFL GM, COACH, or otherwise disagrees with you on Gradowski.

Pats cut loose Damione Lewis
Posted by Mike Florio on September 3, 2010 1:48 PM ET
The New England Patriots have gotten a head start on their move to 53.
Per a league source, the Pats have parted ways with defensive tackle Damione Lewis.
Lewis, a first-round pick of the Rams in 2001, spent five years in St. Louis and four in Carolina before joining the Patriots in the offseason.
Lewis, who started 16 regular-season games in 2009 and 15 in 2008, instantly becomes an unrestricted free agent

Quarterback Vince Young threw his first touchdown pass of the preseason, a 7-yarder to tight end Bo Scaife to give the Titans a 7-3 lead in the first quarter.
Running back Chris Johnson was given the night off, but backup Javon Ringer rushed for 64 yards on four carries, including a 47-yard run.
Overall, however, it was a sloppy night for the Titans, who allowed a pair of blocked punts that produced 10 points for the Saints.

The post is in context to your ridiculous assertion that there is no dropoff, NONE, from JC to Grads. You use the SF game as a base for saying Grads is better than JC and asked you how Grads did for us during regular season games last year. Of course you had no answer.

We’ve been starting games fast, and we just have to be consistent,” said Gradkowski, who finished 7-of-14 for 128 yards and two touchdowns in his half of play. “We did a great job tonight. I am just proud of the guys and it’s been a real good preseason.”
Oakland finished the preseason 3-1, and no one got hurt Thursday at the Oakland Coliseum. Well, cornerback Chris Johnson and special teams coach John Fassel had their feelings hurt.
Having lost the starting job to Routt, Johnson got roasted four times for 120 yards in the first half. Fassel’s unit gave up a 55-yard kickoff return to set up a field goal in the first quarter and a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the fourth.
“Whoever goes out there has got to do a better job,” coach Tom Cable said. “We’re just not getting off blocks. … There’s some guys who probably hurt themselves being on that team a little bit tonight.”"
I have no further comments till i talk with the fat kidd cable responded!
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:16 am
Gruden should consider asking Al if he could be our asst. special teams coach. If he does not get his jaw busted by HC Tom, he could take Fassel’s job next year.
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:16 am
I have been saying CJ sucks since LAST YEAR, and Routt should be starting on the outside.
To help you out –
Main point – J Say Routt should be starting. Been saying that since LAST YEAR.
RRS disagreed.

if you’re gonna throw out preseason for Gradkowski, you must also do it for NMiller, CJ37 & Kelly!
Johnson was WAY better than Routt the past 2 years opposite Nnamdi. don’t you think thats why he’s been starting?
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:19 am
I didnt watch the entire game because I fell asleep but Hiram was playing well. I would rather have him over Huff. He is a WAY better tackler.
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:19 am
What about us signing Justin Hartwig at Center? Yeah, he just got beat out by rookie Markice Pouncey but he’s still an ex-starter… he’s probably better than Morris and maybe Satele… we could do with help on the OL in any way possible…
Oh and we should grab Houshmandzadeh…
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:20 am
the dude made a joke about us being married because both of us disagree with him on a number of different issues … thats what we’re dealing with here
very immature way to skirt the questions/comments
——————————————————
Childish and immature …
Ok, let throw it out on the table.
The 2 of you are in the corner giggling about me supposedly being a Jamarcus Russell supporter.
Despite me correcting you, you still sit in the corner and giggle together. Notice how you two are the only ones on the BS.
I said it doesn’t matter who the QB is … “insert Jamarcus Russell excuse”
I said Tom Brady wouldn’t lead out team to the playoffs, we would still suck with him.
I never ONCE said Russell was a BEAST, would take us to the playoffs or any of that BS. I accepted the fact he was the ultimate Al Davis guy and said I would believe we would cut him when I saw it.
So sit in the corner and giggle if you want. You cheerlead, you’ll get called on it.
You misrepresent what I said, I’ll call you on it.
Like I said. feel free to post ONE thing where I said Russell was a beast. If not, you need to shut the .. up!

You’re talking about the last preseason game???
Like I said, gotta love the Gradkowski crowd.
How did he do during the season?
——————————————————-
Like I said, when did I say preseason didn’t matter?
The post is in context to your ridiculous assertion that there is no dropoff, NONE, from JC to Grads. You use the SF game as a base for saying Grads is better than JC and asked you how Grads did for us during regular season games last year. Of course you had no answer.
So you trying to bring this up in terms of my CJ37 comments fails to realize that I have been saying CJ sucks since LAST YEAR, and Routt should be starting on the outside.
To help you out –
Main point – J Say Routt should be starting. Been saying that since LAST YEAR.
RRS disagreed.
Banana jumps into grown folks business.
=====================================================
Like I said, are you a politician? Did you seriously just deny the implication from your post on 9/1 that preseason didn’t matter on the coattails of your statement where you proclaimed Ware and WMac’s superiority over CJ based on a preseason game? Then, again, proceed to state that it was “ridiculous” to determine Grads ability based on a preseason game? LOL!
And by the way, I did have an answer but you chose not to respond. I listed Grads and JC’s regular season QB rating last year. Practically identical. But you pick and choose what to respond to and twist things around.
And to address your last statement, I was typing my post to you just as RR was posting his. I didn’t read his post till after I had already submitted mine.
You, sir, have your head firmly planted up your azz.

if you’re gonna throw out preseason for Gradkowski
——————————————————
You’re just going to keep going with this, huh?
I said Gradowski’s performance solidified his position as the backup in my mind. Prior to that, he was in jeopardy of being CUT! Or at least that what the local paper was saying. Boeller was playing good enough that you had to consider the Hue Jackson factor, and Al liking big armed former #1 QBs. I think due to his injuries and what not, most people had him at least neck and neck with Boeller for the BACKUP.
If I said the performance solidified his position and ultimately praising the guy and giving JFB props, who the phugg am I saying his preseason didn’t matter?
Oh, in the context of Grads being ZERO dropoff from JC???
How do you even try to use that argument to support CJ vs Routt????
YOU will throw out Jerry Mac’s tweets as PROOF that CJ is the best CB in camp, lol. The very next opportunity to SEE FOR OURSELVES a version of camp – what Jerry tweeted about – CJ is getting toasted all over the field.

A cup with the Oakland Raiders logo was set on a desk. Students began to tell the professor what they saw.
Here are some of the responses:
1.One student said he saw a depressed man.
2.A student said he saw a very aggressive man.
3.Another student said he saw a man who had been beheaded.
4.Another student said he saw a strong warrior.
5.A student saw a shield
And, the perceptions went on and on.
An article on the logo was read to them. The idea was to inspire them to see deeply, as we sometimes see different things in artwork.
We see the Oakland Raiders logo differently because what we see is often related to the experiences that each of us have.
Then, the students were told what the professor saw.
The professor saw the following:
•a helmet
•two swords
•a head
•a face
•a patch
•a shield
Possibly more symbols.
The other symbols the professor saw were:
•alef
•dalet
•continuity
•openness
•two double-edged swords
•increased ability of the other senses when compared to the patched eye
•a paradox in the finite and infinite represented by alef (similar to an A)
•selflessness represented by dalet (similar to a D)

More Insight
Later, after a Calculus II student participated in the exercise, the student said, in so many words:
“My optometrist told me that the pirate covered one eye not because he was blind in it or he had lost the eye, rather by covering one eye, the other eye focuses quickly and adjusts for better night vision.
“This was done so that the pirate would be ready for war even if it occurred at night.”
I thought. This is profound.
No other logo in the NFL has a design that is loaded with various symbols inspiring many interpretations. How smart the designer of the logo must have been? How brilliant for Al Davis to select and retain such a powerful logo which can easily represent a powerful lesson.

Your Lesson
As a member of the Raider Nation you probably see the logo as the fine symbol of a team with a rich history.
There is more than meets the eye.
One young lady broaden my understanding, and convinced us that even more research needs to be done to get the interpretation of the Oakland Raiders logo.
She said that we needed to contact the artist and ask the artist what he or she intended to communicate.
So, one of the male students who was fascinated by the discussion of symbolism said he was going to do a project and contact the Oakland Raiders’ office and request more information on the logo.
Once this young man’s project is completed, no doubt there will another article giving us deeper insight into the meaning of the cherished logo of the Oakland Raiders.
Is the logo unique? Yes.
Are other NFL logos loaded with depth and wisdom? Not really.
Is Al Davis a genius to have maintained this fine logo for the franchise? Definitely.
Now, what do you see in the logo on your cap, barbecue pit, t-shirt, wallet, cup and more?
Why not write what you see in the comment strand.
Who knows? What you see may inspire the Oakland Raiders to “Just win, baby.”
Go Raiders!

Did you really watch the game close? When R Brown missed the tackle and the Hawks scored (yes he did miss the tackle) there were only 10 men on the field. Thomas Howard was trying to call time out as the ball was snapped. Q Groves had run off the field thinking they were in nickel. He was supposed to line up just to the inside of the slot back.

Have Bruce start week 1 cause of injury, than we play the back and forth game to start the season, and that won’t play out well.
But Bruce will see more field this year than last year. Period.

Real Talk Fridays:
-For the first time in about 5 years we have, not one…not two…but three decent quarterbacks that can actually execute a screen play properly, and hit wide open receivers with an accurate pass.
-DHB has improved leaps and bounds over last year. Yeah its only preseason, but if you watched him go up, adjust to the ball, catch a 34 yard pass WITH HIS HANDS, and keep both feet in bounds, then you’ll recognize that there’s something different about that kid. He couldn’t even do that last year in passing drills with no defense.
-Satele still sucks. On that sack he gave up on Gradkowski, did you see him get tossed aside and blown up like a bop on E14th st? Yeah, he might be able to call out coverages better than Veldheer did last week. But he is gonna get our QB killed. If Veldheer isn’t ready to start yet, then we need a capable center, cause Delilah Satele ain’t him. Real Talk.
-Bruce Campbell is a beast. He is a little raw at the position he’s playing. But he blows his man off the ball at least 3 yds every snap. I wish we could have at least seen him at RT. He couldn’t be worse than Langston Walker, who in my opinion, is only serviceable as a RG.
-Chris Johnson is a really good player. He is versatile and can change the entire game plan of opposing teams.
Unfortunately I’m talking about Tennessee’s Chris Johnson, not ours. OUR Chris Johnson sucks as a man to man corner on the outside. He got put on a pedestal in 08′ because Deangelo Hall sucked so bad that anything was better than him. But he is only good at giving up at least 2-3 big pass plays every game. And don’t gimme his hammy as an excuse. He was getting torched last year too.
I’m not advocating for this, because we have other more pressing needs, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Big Al offer ‘Revis Island’ a deal that matched Nnamdi’s, and try to lure him over here. At least he’d be worth it.
-Them rookie corners we got can play!
-Special teams coach Fassel might need to be included in the cuts made today.
-We still need a NT. They need to let Henderson start, but since Cable doesn’t appear to be doing that, we need a DT still. I’m not sold on the Kelly, Seymour combo being able to clog up the middle long enough to stop the run consistently and not give up the big play.
-Mcfadden should have a field day in this new offense. If he can stop tripping over his own feet and getting injured every time someone breathes on him.
-Mike Mitchell may look like Wayne Brady, but he plays like the Wayne Brady that kidnapped Dave Chappelle, slapped hookers, and murked a police officer on that episode of the Chappelle Show. That hit was ferocious and he is a factor out there. I say start him and Branch as the safeties. I know some of you may not agree, but Huff’s occasional interception doesn’t intimidate anybody out there. Mitchell put that hit on that running back, and on the next play, bruh didn’t even want the ball no more. That’s what a hitter will do to you.
and finally…
-I smell a win on the 12th of September. Final prediction as the team is currently constructed…9-7.
We get a center and a left tackle, we win the division hands down.
We find a capable fullback, center, left tackle, cornerback opposite Nnamdi, WR, and NT…then it’s the Superbowl in Jan. 2012!
And that’s Real Talk.

NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reports that the Cowboys are “moving close” to trading Patrick Crayton.
La Canfora expects a deal “shortly.” The reporter doesn’t speculate as to Crayton’s future whereabouts, but the team acquiring Crayton will have to pick up his $2 million base salary for 2010. It was a prohibitive number for the Cowboys, who only would’ve kept Crayton around as a fourth receiver.

The Saints will go young with their backfield depth this season.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Ladell Betts got released by the team Friday. Chris Ivory and Deshawn Wynn remain, which doesn’t surprise those around the Saints.
Ivory was injured on Thursday. The severity of that injury may determine if Wynn sticks around on the roster a little longer.

Karl Paymah, Michael Robinson among 49ers cuts
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 3, 2010 2:39 PM ET
The “Paymah Rent” tour is set to go back on the road.
Cornerback Karl Payman was among the 49ers released on Friday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Matt Maiocco of Comcast Bay Area also reports that tailback Michael Robinson and wide receiver Jason Hill were let go.
A third-round pick in 2007, Hill lost his roster spot to Dominique Zeigler, among others this year.
Robinson is a more surprising cut, but he’s never been able to climb out of a special teams role. The former Penn State quarterback could also play fullback and help on returns. He’s a decent bet to land on his feet somewhere.
Anthony Dixon and Brian Westbrook will share backup duties behind Frank Gore.
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:54 pm
CJ got lit up like a christmas tree but Routt’s no the answer.
With the Raiders last years strength always seems to the next years weakness.
No consistency except bad the last 6-7 yrs.
Hope we turn that around but it was the 4th pre season game so can’t read alot into it…
With recent injuries theirs a huge need for Corners so not much hope in replacing him if we wanted.

Good analogy. Some players just aren’t a system fit for the offensive scheme, or defensive scheme, a team plays. Or some players as young as they are, never mature as the team would like.
There are a few success storys with players being picked up, but most teams have good scouting systems and know what is potential to what will not work.

Steelers give Hartwig permission to seek a trade
Posted by Mike Florio on September 3, 2010 2:09 PM ET
With rookie Maurkice Pouncey bouncing former starting center Justin Hartwig to the bench, the Steelers are going to try to do with Hartwig what they did with Sean Mahan after Hartwig supplanted Mahan as the starting center.
Per a league source, Hartwig has received permission to seek a trade. If Hartwig can’t arrange a trade, he’ll reportedly be cut.
So why would a team want to trade for Hartwig when he’s going to be cut? At a base salary of $2.08 million for 2010, a team may want to trade for the contract in lieu of having to try to bid against other team(s) for his services on the open market.
The Steelers entered training camp expecting Hartwig to start at center and Pouncey to start at guard. But Pouncey blew away the coaches from the first day, and eventually Pouncey took over the top spot on the depth chart.
We assume it’s also possible that the Steelers would be interested in bringing Hartwig back after Week One at a reduced salary.

J.J. Arrington among ten Eagles cuts
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 3, 2010 3:10 PM ET
We’re going to be bringing you roster cuts fast and furious until Saturday afternoon’s deadline. Some will arrive piecemeal, others will come in big groups like the ten players Philadelphia released on Friday.
Here’s the list of cuts: running back J.J. Arrington, cornerback Geoff Pope, defensive end Pannell Egboh, defensive tackle Boo Robinson, cornerback David Pender, wide receiver Dobson Collins, tight end Nate Lawrie, offensive tackle Jeraill McCuller, safety Anthony Scirrotto and running back Martell Mallett.
Arrington’s departure completes his acquisition from the Broncos. The Eagles now get a sixth-round pick in 2012 from Denver. It looks like Joe Mays — traded from Philly — will make the Broncos, so consider the deal a win-win.
The Eagles have also announced that Victor Abiamiri was placed on the reserve/PUP list.

Jerry seemed very put off by Rolando McClain’s “blowing off” not only reporters…but fans calling out his name for autographs after practice. Lots of folks on this blog expressed concern about his attitude.
I was at last night’s game and couldn’t see his in-game interview. Did he redeem himself at all in any of your opinions?
Also…..I noted he seemed lackadaisical in his sideline-to-sideline pursuit of plays during the game vs. the 49ers and appeared to be taking too long to read and attack running lanes. Would like to see more aggressiveness on his part. Perhaps just rookie fear of giving up the big play? Concentrating more on improving on his alleged weakness in pass defense?
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:18 pm
OUR Chris Johnson sucks as a man to man corner on the outside. He got put on a pedestal in 08′ because Deangelo Hall sucked so bad that

I agree with this statement, It’s almost like saying Gradkowski or Campbell are the second coming just because they are not Jamarcus.

Dell,
Wrong again sir.
I’m certain Huff can’t play S.
I’m certain Huff should get a chance to play CB & NB.
I’m ALSO certain it’s possible rhat he can be a good CB and best example is Nnamdi.
Am I certain he will be a good CB. No, but I’m certain it can’t be worse than him playing S.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:20 pm
MY COWGIRL FAN COWORKER SAID CRAYTON IS AT BEST A NUMBER 3 WIDE OUT ON MOST TEAMS, IM NOT AT ALL WORRIED OR DO I CARE THAT THOSE CHARGERS PICKED HIM UP, HES NO VJ BUT RIVERS MIGHT GET HIM THE BALL A LITTLE BIT. PLUS CANT BE ANYWORSE THAN LAST YEAR WHEN WE PLAYED THEM.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:22 pm
Crayton is good for 40 catches a year
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:22 pm
if Routt stays at nickel, #3 Crayton will look like a Hall of Famer matched up against him.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:23 pm
He’s not a break out player but he’s decent on 3rd down…Im not to worried about him on the chargers..Its time to snap the losing streak
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:23 pm
Here’s a little piece of information for Ryan and the rest of the New York Jets: If Revis doesn’t get a new contract soon, New York doesn’t have to worry about the star cornerback showing up. Ever.
As the clock ticks to the beginning of the NFL season, the relationship between the Jets and Revis is ticking toward an end. A divorce, really. That might sound like hysteria to some but it’s reality.
You can hear the agitation in Ryan’s voice when he talks about the overall state of his team. During one moment in “Hard Knocks,” Ryan chewed the Jets out for not playing with urgency, a bad sign for any team, particularly for one that hasn’t won a championship in more than four decades.”
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Dell,
Btw, I never said Huff should start at CB. I said he should play CB, NB, and FS on passing downs. I also said he should compete with Routt, CJ, and McFadden.
Nice try!
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:25 pm
routt fot revis trade likely.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:27 pm
ROUTT CAN MORE THAN HANDLE CRAYTON IN THE SLOT HES NOT ONE OF THOSE SMALL FAST WIDEOUTS THAT TEND TO BREAK ROUTTS ANKLES WHEN HE COVERS THEM.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:28 pm
I also said that we should move Huff around to put him in better situations to make plays.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Revis is a POS. When Burgess wanted, and deserved more money, at least the dude still showed up and balled. Plus this is Revis’ rookie contract!

LenDale White Out For Season With Torn Achilles
9/03/2010 12:34 PM ET By Bruce Ciskie
For the second straight year, Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno missed the preseason. Last year, it was a holdout. This year, it was a hamstring injury on the first day of practice.
With Moreno out, head coach Josh McDaniels got a lot of looks at his depth guys, including veteran LenDale White. Traded by Tennessee and eventually cut by Seattle, White was trying to get a fresh start in Denver.
He ran 17 times for 54 yards and two scores in two preseason games, but left Thursday’s game at Minnesota with what was termed at the time to be an ankle injury.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted Friday that White’s injury is actually an Achilles tear, and White will miss the 2010 season.
White was battling to be the Broncos’ third running back behind Moreno — who is expected to play in the Broncos’ opener Sept. 12 at Jacksonville — and veteran Correll Buckhalter. The former Eagle ran for 642 yards and a score last year, while also catching 31 passes in his first year with the Broncos.
It’s not a significant blow to the Broncos, especially when you consider that White was to miss the first four games of the season on an NFL suspension, anyway. That said, this adds more questions to Denver’s overall depth at the running back position.
Moreno has already been hurt twice in his short NFL career, and Buckhalter did not play at all in 2002, 2004, or 2005, and he has never had more than 129 carries in a season. Youngster Bruce Hall might make the team now as a third running back.

Raider O
Why is it so important to be right on a player that has never played DB in the NFL.
I, left our debate this morning for a meeting and you gave some examples of Huff’s ability to play DB.
Yet, there is no proof he can.
The debate should start with, why he is not a DB, not that he should be a DB.
For example, the Raiders secondary coach until his recent retirement was Willie Brown. I believe, if Willie Brown can evaluate any player, it would be a cover 1 DB. Willie Brown has the experience, and knowledge, to convert or help with the technique of that position.( see Nnamdi )
My question is, forget about the different Head coaches, who never moved him to DB, or the defensive Coord. who never moved him to DB, you would have to say Willie Brown, saw no potential in Huff, as a corner. Don’t you think if Huff was meant to be a corner, Brown would have stormed in Davis office and appraised him of Huff future potential at DB.
If Huff, was a corner in the Raiders man to man system, which they play almost 90% of the time, we possibly would have never drafted, Routt, or traded for Meangelo Hall and wasted two draft picks, or even drafted W McFadden or Ware this past draft.
There were others also who have come and gone as raider draft picksas DB’S.
Huff was drafted #7 overall to play SS, which even that was a position, he was not suited for. The reasons were to defend Gates in SD and Gonzalez in KC and Denver’s TE’S.
His physical play didn’t match up well with his skills in the box, consenquently, was moved to free safety were he is getting better.
The Raider Orgnization plays cover 1, man to man, the DB has his back to the QB, where as the safety, in the defense the Raiders deploy has his face towards the QB.
Huff skills, suit his play to face the Qb, that’s why some on this blog have stated he may be able to play the Tampa 2, due to the Tampa 2 DB, face the QB.
You and I, can go around and around, on his ability as a DB, I don’t questionhis speed, or athletic ability, or smarts. Huff is a safety in the Raider system, and I haven’t seen any signs he can play DB.
The coaches would have played him there by now.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:42 pm
“(Michael) Robinson has been stuck in a special teams role since early in his rookie season of 2006. With 3.4 YPC average on 86 career totes, he won’t attract any interest as a running back.”
3.4 ypc?! Wow, thats better than anybody we have, besides Bush.

That’s why I said your argument lacks logic.
We are talking about the Raiders:
We played Huff at SS.
We played Brayton at LB.

Steelers cut 10
Posted by Mike Florio on September 3, 2010 4:40 PM ET
The Pittsburgh Steelers have unloaded nearly half of the guys they’ll need to unload in order to get from 75 players to 53 by Saturday at 6:00 p.m. ET.
The team announced that 10 players have been released: tight end Eugene Bright, guard Dorian Brooks, tackle Kyle Jolly, receiver Brandon London, tight end Sean McHugh, defensive tackle Scott Paxson, long snapper Matt Stewart, safety Justin Thornton, running back Justin Vincent, and linebacker Renauld Williams.
With 12 more moves to be made, it occurred to us that the Steelers probably are considering the possibility of sending quarterback Byron Leftwich to injured reserve. Two years ago, the Steelers shut down Charlie Batch despite a broken collarbone that would have been healed in October. With Leftwich possibly missing all four of the games he likely would have started during Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension, the Steelers have to decide whether to carry him on the roster.
The decision likely will hinge on whether the Steelers decide to add a third quarterback to the roster during Roethlisberger’s suspension. If they do, Leftwich could be done for the year.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Man that Kiffin debacle really screw up our coaching staff.
Cable was doing well as o-line coach where things were simplified for him and he could just coach the players given to him.
Then Rathman left and our FBs have been pussified ever since.
Then the ST coach left…and we have sucked ever since…
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Dell,
I have seen Huff cover TEs & WRs, and I think based on that, his speed, and his man coverage skills are good enough to compete with Routt & CJ to play CB or NB, and I would like him to get that Chance.
You didn’t mention the part about Huff saying he should play CB on twitter.
September 3rd, 2010 at 1:54 pm
With Crayton aboard, the Chargers might cut WR Josh Reed soon.
The Steelers have authorized C/G Justin Hartwig to seek a trade. They might also cut RB Jonathan Dywer.
Also, it’s hard to envision the Bills keeping RB Marshawn Lynch around for much longer.

Fair enough. My logic is simple. You have yet to identify, why he is not at DB, only that the Organization is screwed up.
Their are many teams, who move players into different position when drafted from college, example LaMarr Houston, was a DT from Texas and now he is a DE.
The system defense the Raiders play will be to his strengths, that’s why he was moved.
You want to believe Huff is a DB, yet everyone(raider org,coaches) can’t see that, why?
