Raiders likely quiet today
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, September 3rd, 2010 at 1:52 pm in Oakland Raiders.
As other teams begin to release information regarding trades and cuts today to get down to the 53-man roster, expect the Raiders to wait until Saturday.
The club scheduled no conference call today, a player’s day off, with Tom Cable not scheduled to meet with the until Saturday afternoon.
A few things which must be taken into consideration as they cut 21 players (Luke Lawton goes on a suspended list and does not count against the roster until Week 3):
– Injuries. Michael Bush won’t be available for the opener unless he’s a miraculous healer after having screws inserted in his left thumb.
That means if the Raiders were considering cutting either Rock Cartwright or Michael Bennett, they’ll have to reconsider.
The mystery absence of Travis Goethel is also a factor. Cable alluded to an injury situation with Goethel _ one that was serious enough to keep him away from the stadium. That usually means surgery was involved.
The coaching staff really likes Goethel. It’s why I had him as a “lock” to make the 53-man roster. He has far exceeded expectations as a sixth-round draft pick.
The Raiders have not disclosed the nature of Goethel’s injury. They liked Nick Miller enough last year to carry him on the 53-man roster for 16 weeks when he had a broken shin. How long would they carry Goethel?
Cornerback Walter McFadden didn’t complete the game either with what looked as if it could be a hamstring injury.
– Cable said Trevor Scott’s move to defensive end _ he played on both the left and right side against Seattle _ was no more than moving people around to look at their versatility.
“We’re trying to mix it up as much as possible to give everyone different looks,” Scott said afterward. “It’s fun as heck.”
If the Raiders have determined Scott would be too much of a liability in pass coverage and he’s going to be a lineman again, that could be good news for Thomas Howard and/or Quentin Groves.
– Judging from Jay Richardson’s Twitter account, he should be ready to go in Week 1 after minor knee surgery late in training camp. Richardson tweeted he had a great rehab session Friday “running and cutting . . . it’s almost time . . . thank God.”
– With Marcel Reece sitting it out with the starters, do the Raiders go with a second fullback? Seems unlikely with the need for an extra running back. That would make Manase Tonga a candidate for the practice squad. Tonga caught a 32-yard screen pass for a touchdown against the Seahawks.
“I figure the touchdown couldn’t have come at a better time, given it’s the last preseason game, the game where everyone is trying to earn a spot and a job,” Tonga said. “I was fortunate enough to have some great people around me finishing blocks.”
– Khalif Barnes spent the entire game at left tackle, which could mean he’s now the backup to Mario Henderson with Jared Veldheer moving fulltime to center. As a starter.
– Thanks to everyone who participated in Thursday night’s live in-game chat. Preseason football is the biggest sham going, but the interaction and good-natured trading of jabs almost made the game bearable.
I’ll be working on NFL preview stuff for the Bay Area Newsgroup papers most of the day . . .

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.

Hmmm, if he is a liability against the pass at LB and a liability against the run as a DE….then what the hell good is he?

Raiders RB Bush to Miss 4 Weeks
By JOE KUKURA
Updated 1:00 PM PDT, Fri, Sep 3, 2010
You’ll have to wipe that post-win smirk off your face, Raider Nation. Terrible news from Jerry McDonald’s Oakland Tribune Raiders blog, where McDonald reports that running back Michael Bush’s wrist fracture will keep him out for a month or more.
That means the Raiders will be without last year’s leading rusher until week four, Oct. 3 against the Houston Texans.
Realize this is not an official report from a team doctor. The Raiders lowered the cones of silence on injuries last week and refuse to give any more injury reports.
But Michael Bush did disclose on his own Twitter page that he suffered a Bennett’s fracture. He also twitpic’d a photo of himself going in for the wrist surgery on Tuesday.
They make you wear a shower cap for wrist surgery? Who runs this hospital, Ruth Buzzi?
McDonald discussed the Bennett’s fracture condition with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Schwartz, team doctor for Hofstra University and the Arena Football New Jersey Dragons. “A time span of four to six weeks following surgery would be a ‘best case scenario,” McDonald wrote, adding that Dr. Schwartz “conceded he was speaking in general terms and did not know the specifics of Bush’s injury.”
The Raiders still have a healthy Darren McFadden, but may look to add another available veteran. As McDonald notes, Justin Fargas is currently available.
Joe Kukura is a freelance writer who thinks Bush twitters very eloquently on the hell of injured thumbs.

Let’s try and use your logic. If he is such a great FS, then why did we play him at SS, and why was he in the Bench in 08 as a FS in favor of Eugene.
Again, your argument lacks logic.

trades that Raiders did not make, OG Reggie Wells and WR Patrick Crayton (of corse that means the Cowboys will not be trading Roy Williams anytime soon as they will want to carry 3 reliable WRs, even though Roy has not lived up to a first round contract).

I should ask You this:
-Why do you want Huff to continue playing S?
-Why do you want Huff to continue playing S when he shows us his lack of tackling sills, which are important for a S.
-if he is so good, then why was he benched in 08? Did the coaches make a mistake? Did the coaches make a mistake playing him at SS?!

Don’t bother, you didn’t miss anything…well, except DHB finally making a catch, and then trying to flex in celebration…quite funny…both the lack of muscles in his arms and the fact that he was celebrating a catch in the meaningless 4th preseason game…

Sounds to me like the Raiders might be trying to stash Goethel on IR, so they don’t have to expose him to waivers to get him on the practice squad.
I’ve read teams, not just the Raiders, do this all the time. Even though it’s not quite in the spirit of the rules. Ha Ha.

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.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
My argument has more logic than your previous comments.
In my comment above, where did I say Huff is a great FS. You have yet to provide me, with any logic on why he should be an occasional DB, other than you have seen him play there. Well then, If that’s the case why wasn’t he converted to a DB, since his earlier play was good as a DB, according to you.
Art Shell, convinced Davis to select Huff, as I noted above comment to play tight ends, in the AFC west.
His play in texas near the box, was a factor in his selection, to help the Raiders D in stopping those players in the AFC west.
You have cited his twitter account, as a reason to play DB, his hips and he asked Woodson for his number.
All of those points can be said to be his opinion. First, many players who want a number from a previous player, out of respect will ask that player, if he could use his number. Let me provide an example, Robert Gallery changed his number and asked Steve Wisnewski, if he could wear his number. At that time Gallery was at left Tackle.
Your comment this morning, “Huff has good hips”, ok great. Can he play, the corner position in a bump and run style, and with his back to the QB. Hips have a bearing on a DB, yet their are many tangible physical attributes,Huff may not have.
And his twitter account, is meaningless to me. He is a employee, and must play, the position they feel would be better for the team and his career.
Finally, he was benched in 08, due to his lack of confidence and overall play. Many players over the years get benched, some recover like Huff did and some do not.
Huff decided to work hard, and study hard for his position as FS, the work he put in has shown up on the field.
You can blame the organization so much, the player has some responsibility also towards his career.

Mike tirico of MNF was on SVP show on the way home from work. Sounds like he concurs with Gruden.
He asked if the gap in the AFC West was closing. He sad absolutely. But, he only mentioned Oakland. Said KC, eventually but not yet. Likes their coaching staff, but not what he’s seen of Cassell in preseason. Doesn’t know what is going on in Denver.
Then he said Oakland is legit. His exact words.
Said this is three years in a row with contract problems in SD. LT,WR and best pass rusher can’t be good for locker room chemistry in his opinion.
I thought it was interesting. Wanted to pass it along.

It’s not going to happen…
Trevor Scott was in as a #2 DE and people STILL don’t get it. It is no different than Houston playing DT late in the Dallas game.
IT IS JUST A PERSONNEL PACKAGE!
Yeesh. Scott has always played DE in certain packages. If Shaug is #1 and Jay Rich is hurt, who do you think your #2 must be?
———–The Real Telling Signs————
Loper played LG #2 all night. If Barnes is LT #2 Loper may have passed Morris. Veldheer looks to be your starting Center.
Figurs is on scholarship. Two fumbles in prior games and a muff last night and a drop yet he’s still ahead of Miller who has 2 nice TDs. Why?
R Brown, Eugene and S Williams may make the team just because the #2 kick coverage guys stink. 2 TDs in 2 weeks.
S Brown is a turnover magnet. He stays.
We need a RB. Bennett is a dancer wearing pads. Cartright only looks good vs scrubs.
Veldheer is your starting Center. Unless he was injured last night Satele wouldn’t have played as a 2. If Vel was injured I doubt they’d risk Satele too so…get ready for the big V.
JLH is a solid WR – for now.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:39 pm
Huff needs to go…can’t stop the big runs and never makes plays…let MM on the field.

Mike tirico of MNF was on SVP show on the way home from work. Sounds like he concurs with Gruden.
He asked if the gap in the AFC West was closing. He sad absolutely. But, he only mentioned Oakland. Said KC, eventually but not yet. Likes their coaching staff, but not what he’s seen of Cassell in preseason. Doesn’t know what is going on in Denver.
Then he said Oakland is legit. His exact words.
Said this is three years in a row with contract problems in SD. LT,WR and best pass rusher can’t be good for locker room chemistry in his opinion.
I thought it was interesting. Wanted to pass it along.

Why should Huff continue to play S? His tackling skills, or his 4 INTs in 4 seasons?

Is anybody else watching Hard Knocks w/NYJ on HBO? Fascinating look inside a pro football team.
I think Mark Sanchez is about to follow the same path to draft disapointment as fellow USC alum Matt Leinert. The guy is a jackazz.
He’s been struggling this preseason, and after watching Hard Knocks, it’s easy to see why.
He showed up to a meeting unprepared, without some notebook. Everybody else had theirs. OC Brian Schottenheimer chastises him and sends him out to get it. He comes back all miffed.
Later, to retaliate, he goes into Schottenheimer’s office and draws black eyes and mustaches on his family photos with a sharpie. Seriously.
Then he changes the screen saver and wallpaper on his computer to an image of a gay horse pissing Rainbows. I’m not kidding.
Although, I think the image of the gay horse pissing rainbows should replace the picture of the yacking donkey on the side of Denver’s helmets ASAP.

You have no logic, you have no logic.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Deli,
Let’s recap what you said and show me the logic in it pls!
Huff should continue to play S because the coachs think he can: the same coaches that played him at SS and put on the bench in 08 as a FS for his lack of tackling skills.
He had 4 INTs in 4 years, but you think he should continue to play S because the coaches think he can?!?
Great Logic!!!
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Relax Raider O,

September 3rd, 2010 at 2:50 pm

Safety is the easier position. According to you he is not a good safety, why then move him to DB?
you have no logic.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:51 pm
Operation Neutered Wolverine has begun.
***
LOL!
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Huff can’t cover WRs and he can’t tackle RBs…therefore he should never be on the field as a starting S or CB.
He should only come in on obvious passing downs against teams that have good pass catching TEs…that is his ONLY strength.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Raider O
The coaches who played him at SS are gone, that was three years ago, and who else is there to play S. The coaches must trust the players, and right now the Raider Org has Huff as the penciled in S for the team. In time, maybe they start someone else, but he is it right now.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Dell,
Because he doesn’t need to have great/ good tackling skills as a CB!
Look at Routt.

If Lynch gets cut I’d take him over Bennett / Cartright
——————
On another note – As much as I like Mitchell he isn’t a FS. He is suited to play SS in run support. His coverage skills are probably the worst of our Safeties. He would have problems at FS in Oakland. He was drafted to play in the box SS. Tyvon Branch has turned into a top notch SS so peeps are trying to find excuses / ways to get MM on the field.
Huff is playing well at FS and S Brown has the look of a solid deep FS. Mitchell would look like Stu II. The last play of the game bore that out.

REALITY CHECK
This is the NFL. Other than DMAC, RBs are EXPECTED to win 1-on-1 match-ups in the open field.
This isn’t a video game that plays like 2-hand touch.
A RB going full speed should run by or over a flat-footed defender 90% of the time. That’s why it is important the front 7 at least slow a guy down.

It was also interesting watching the Jet’s staff break down practice and game film of G Vlad Ducasse. Their 2nd rd. pick. Talented, yet very raw. They were worried he was going to get somebody killed.
It was hard to watch that and not think about similar situation going on with Veldheer and Big Bruce Campbell in Oakland. Would be interesting to have access to Raiders staff and inner workings like that.
Never happen while Al’s alive though. Everything’s Top Secret. CIA like. Never goona be a Hard Knocks/Oakland.

It looks like Houshmanzadeh is out in Seattle.
According to Scheftler Seattle will have to pay Housh the difference between what he would have made this year in Seattle and whatever the team signs him for. So if he signs for the vet minimum of $850,000 Seattle would owe $6.15 million.
The Raiders need to look into this once he gets cut.

September 3rd, 2010 at 3:24 pm
OR #121.
It could be a very real possibilty. Housh has previous experience with Hue from Cincy. It could happen.
As far as TJ not having “Raider Speed”, did Freddy B?
The Raiders have plenty of speed on the roster to stretch the field and implement Davis’ vertical game. DHB,Murphy and Ford.
They need somebody besides Zach to do the dirty work underneath. Amidst the linebackers. Move the chains.
Could be a nice fit.

Ultimately, Houshmandzadeh was just taking snaps away from young talent that could possibly help Pete Carroll by the time the team is good. There was no chance Houshmandzadeh would have been in Seattle in 2011, and his attitude has been questioned more than once while on the Seahawks.

September 3rd, 2010 at 4:13 pm
Lot o griping goin’ on in Alameda today, sometalented players hitting the bricks. Lombardi just said Huff might get traded. So Steve Brown makes the 53 man roster.
I really hope they don’t cut Nick Miller because he will never see the practice squad if they do. I think he’s the 3rd at worst the 4th best WR on the team.
Barnes slooked really good at LT last night and Campbell showed a lt of promise at RG. This OLine will see a shakeup for sure based on last night.
I can’t see BIg John making this team Joseph is just too quick and good and Howard made the 53 again. Jeremy Ware is one tough minded player and very skilled, for the life of me I can’t see how that kid lasted until the 7th rnd. What a steal. Steve Brown was playing out of position in college FS is his natural position. He just see things faster than most he anticipates extremely well. And I keep reading how playing single high makes players look bad. It’s making him look good.

jhill i agree with you about Scott not cutting it as a lb can we move groves to SLB? Not comfortable with Brown who was exposed yesterday
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:43 pm
I hope V and C start at center and guard, and I hope Mitchell starts at strong safety, and Branch moves to free safety.
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:47 pm
LOL how do you know he’s starting week1? Did Tom Cable tell you that? Everyone that sat out that game isn’t starting. Some of them he just wanted to lok at other players. Thjey are still settin this roster so I wouldn’t be so hasty if I were you.
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:48 pm
The Chicago Bears used to have two safeties named Plank and Lick.
I recommend that Mitchell and Branch change their names to something similar.
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Yea I talked to cable on X-box Live after game He said Veldheer was starting
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Lot of chatter from bears fans about huff maybe were just going too get a draft pick.
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:50 pm
He also said that there was no chance of signing TJ
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:51 pm
Huff to Seattle for TJ, Pete Carroll remembers what Huff did to him in the title game vs SC, likes the idea of Earl Thomas and Michael Huff back there
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:52 pm
If we traded for TJ that would be the stupidest thing ever. He’ll be cut

Fair enough.
I guess I can wait a few more days to confirm that I actually do know what I’m looking at, and maybe you don’t, lol.
For now, I’ll entertain your notion that Satele was in there to protect Grads. Yeah, that’s it. Makes all the sense in the world.
Only thing that would make any sense is Veldheer was injured.
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Why take up that kind of salary when we can sign him for alot less in free agency
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Oh so youknow for a fact Veldheer is starting at Center? is that what you’re saying?
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:56 pm
I have no clue if he will start but im gonna say anyway that yea he will
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:56 pm
I like Huff …
I can see the writing on the wall though.
I think he is going to be pretty good for another team. Last year, really took to the film room and played well for us. He without question brings something to the secondary with his pass defense.
Well Ty Branch, you’re up!
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:58 pm
I have no clue what we would trade Huff for…To who? For what?

What I’m saying is he’s in the mix to start. Contrary to your battering of the kid saying he was nowhere near ready and for us to think so = we didn’t know what we were looking at.
I would think it’s pretty easy Priest, but I guess for you it’s not going to be. If the kid was as bad as you say he is, Cable would come right out and say Satele is the starter. You know, like he has for every other position that is NOT up for grabs.
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:03 pm
If the coaches think the kid can start at that position I’d be the last one to argue with them. I don’t see practice film they do. they see progress that I haven’t seen maybe who knows. I’m not going to be so presumptuous as tpo say he shouldn’t when they think he should. What I saw at the niner game was a kid I don’t think is ready yet. But hey that’s just one game players progress and win jobs in practice all the time. This would not be a first.
But I haven’t seen anything form him that says WOW this kid is a great player it may be even and they prefer him. From my point of view I didn’t see that.
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:03 pm
If we don’t trade for TJ Vikes he’ll go to the Vikings
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Sign Housh. He was “disappointing” last season and still gained 400 yards more than the Raiders’ leading WR. Good hands and good size.
Wait, are there actually rumors circulating about a Michael Huff trade, or are people here just making sh*t up again?
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Is it true that Walker did good last nite in Minnesota
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:05 pm
I agree it would be stupid to trade for him but DHB TJ Murphy sounds pretty nice and it my money
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:05 pm
it aint my money
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:05 pm
There really is rumors of a Huff trade, But to who

I’m not going to be so presumptuous as tpo say he shouldn’t when they think he should.
—————————————————-
Really ???
See last weeks post to all of us who were mentioning Veldheer replacing Satele.
We CLEARLY mentioned to you that the coaches we OBVIOUSLY looking at him playing there.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO according to the Priest.
All good though. Like you said, a bit premature. We can table this until Monday.
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:06 pm
I wouldnt mine TJ but I really dont wanna trade for him unless we get a draft pick with him or something.
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:07 pm
Housh would be a perfect addition. Remember, we are looking for a Chaz replacement = possesion guy.
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:08 pm
TJ is welcome here the 7.9 million isnt
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:09 pm

Very interesting. God I hope it’s not Huff for Leinart…
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:14 pm
I sure hope not Huff for Leinart… Gradkowski is better than Leinart and DA put together
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:14 pm
I aint saying anything differently now, what’s your point. I don’t think he’s ready based on what I saw from him vs the niners I keep saying it. But I also realize I’m not at practice and I have enough sense to know that’s where jobs get won and lost.
I’m not changing my personal stance at all brotha so don’t get it twisted I say no.
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:20 pm
So Carroll seems to think Mike Williams is starter material? Interested to see how that one plays out…
PD81 – I agree with you but if TJ hits the open market, do you think he chooses us out of the interested teams? I mean, if you consider his contract situation, he can pretty much go anywhere since Seattle is picking up the tab for this year (to make up the difference to 7 mill). As fans, we see the potential in our team but will TJ? Then again, maybe we just need Davis to fly him out, roll out the red carpet, and lay on that Raider charm!
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:24 pm

I remember him being in studio on NFL Network and he was saying he was a Raider fan. Think it was a few years back when he was a FA.
Housh and Miller working underneath would be nice!
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:24 pm
True either way he’s gonna get paid..Davis loves to give money way to ppl…Hopefully TJ can come through for us….. If not maybe TJ has been drinking some of this Kool-Aid and said man 4get the SeaChickens I wanna be a Raider lol
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:25 pm
tj whosemama could be traded with seattle paying most of the 7 mil if they want too go after vincent jackson.

Sweet. I hope that’s still the case. I know sometimes players say things, especially in his position back then, to get a bigger payday.
Yeah, that would be nice. Especially since it just doesn’t look like Chaz will hold up for us.

Ochocinco will be “lobbying heavy” for Houshmandzadeh
Posted by Mike Florio on September 3, 2010 8:10 PM ET
After successfully getting the Bengals to bring Batman to town, Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco has his sights set on a reunion with T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who is expected to be cut by the Seahawks if he’s not traded.
Said Ochocinco on his Twitter page: “Disturbing news, i cant even fathom the thought of a reciever the caliber of Housh being traded let alone released, i will be lobbying heavy.”
Ochocinco attributes his success to playing across from Houshmandzadeh. “I’d be happy to have him back,” Ochocinco said.
Chad also opted to wax a little philosophically on the situation: “Situations like this is what scares me about the business side of the NFL which is why i play this game the way i do,having FUN, unbelievably.”
Indeed, one of those receivers for whom Chad lobbies eventually could be the receiver that takes his roster spot
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:38 pm
We wont know anything about a trade until the trade is done…I have know clue how they found in the 1st place but you know Al keeps his cards close…Maybe Hanson has the main office bugged and is leaking info out to the Sports Networks
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:38 pm
DHB – Housh – Murph – JLH – Ford – Chaz
Looks pretty solid to me.
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:39 pm
Kell: You cannot imaging a green kid a center over a vet…..but ONE catch by a green kid at WR makes a very skilled and proven vet unnecessary. SOME CATCH !!!!
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:39 pm
he’s an alright kid….didnt see anything snobby about him!
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:39 pm

September 3rd, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Alright, well you fellas have a fine evening and a good Labor Day weekend.
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:45 pm
For now, we’re sticking with our prediction that the Cardinals will cut Leinart and that he’ll sign with the Seahawks within hours thereafter.
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:47 pm
McClain had a close family member pass away recently and by no means is it an excuse for him to be rude but I do have some empathy to that situation and maybe thats what was wrong with him.

September 3rd, 2010 at 5:59 pm
As a cheap free agent TJ would make a nice back-up for Chazz and Murphy.
A trade of Huff (a starter) should be for a decent draft pick or two mid-round picks. Either that or a starter or potential starter like RB M Barber, RB B Jacobs, C Hartwig etc… Wouldn’t trade for a guy who’s getting cut anyway (TJ for instance).

Brennan, Colt
Norris, Slade
————————————————-
Are you and idiot or just have no idea about football. If Chris Johnson won’t start, put him at nickel corner, or at least dime corner. It would be insane to cut him.
Why would you cut John Condo? Nevermind he’s an all star, he’s one of the best long snappers in the league. Have you ever seen how he covers punts? He hikes the ball and is usually the tackler.
Desmond Bryant is also good. But I have a feeling you won’t get it anyways. That’s why you aren’t in charge. I have a hard time to think anyone agrees with you. Stupidity tends to agree with stupidity.

Jets lose confidence in rookie running back Joe McKnight
The Jets traded up in order to pick running back Joe McKnight in the fourth round of the draft back in April. But the former USC star may have played his way out of the team’s plans. McKnight, whose professional career began with him vomiting during the rookie minicamp in May and admitting that he was not in good enough condition, had his third fumble of the preseason and this one was returned 64 yards for a touchdown by Eagles safety Kurt Coleman. After the game, Jets coach Rex Ryan said he has lost trust in McKnight and doesn’t see how the rookie can get into a game for the team at this point.Al davis who likes usc rbs might be interested in Joe McKmight for Michael Huff but dont quote me on this . –Newark Star-Ledger
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:04 pm
They’ve got DHB, Murphy, Miller, Higgins, Ford, with Chaz in reserve. With Screen Passes galore from the backfield.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Is there something wrong with Dakota, or is it just me?
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Team QB rating is 118
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Well hopefully they flat-out cut page and then the Raiders wouldn’t have to give up anything. That’s assuming Huff is moved, though.
I’m really surprised that Mitchell and Branch haven’t seen more time at FS in the preseason.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Also, who’s gonna back up Miller at te? I can’t say anything more, because its so dumb.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:07 pm
What did McClain do? Jerry said some off-hand comment about him brushing off a fan or a reporter and suddenly he’s a jerk?
Brushing off a reporter is something everybody does at times. How many players are signing autographs before/during/after practice and games?
Does anybody know what he did to label him a jerk?
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:09 pm

I have to agree with KK on the TJ thing because I rally like these young WR’s and I’d much prefer they get reps this year. I don’t want to lose Miller or JLH or Ford for TJ. However I might consider him standingfor Chaz until he’s ready. ZMiller is your 3rd down guy along with DMC.
I’m not concerned about the jerk label on McClain I just want him to get up to speed as soon as possible. Once he’s done something then he can sign until then concentrate on the game.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:16 pm
If Al likes former USC RBs like the post above says, forget McKnight. Sharper is still injured so trade Huff to NO for Reggie Bush (DMAC’s evil twin). lol

Report: Sage Rosenfels traded to Giants
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 3, 2010 8:52 PM ET
Matt Leinart may not want to be a backup in New York (or anywhere else), but Sage Rosenfels will gladly take a ticket out of Minnesota.
Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com reports that Rosenfels is headed to the Giants to be Eli Manning’s backup quarterback. Compensation is unclear. (UPDATE: It’s a conditional draft pick.)
This knocks Rhett Bomar to third string. We thought Bomar generally handled himself well in the preseason, but he wasn’t ready for the promotion.
With Rosenfels in New York, Joe Webb should safely make the Vikings roster as the team’s No. 3 quarterback behind Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson. Webb is the only Vikings quarterback that has a contract past 2010.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:30 pm
Figurs has scholarship written all over him. Two fumbles, a muff, drops and yet they keep giving him reps ahead of N Miller etc…
Got a bad feeling he’s staying. Hope I’m wrong.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:32 pm
If Huff is on the trading bubble, then I would trade him for Hartwig(6-5, 312ibs), the Center from Pittsburgh. Then I would move Veldheer to Right Tackle, and move Langston Walker inside to Right Guard.
Walker and Bruce Campbell can battle it out for the starting spot at Right Guard. Campbell is a little raw right now, but once he learns the nuances of the Guard position, he will be a BEAST.
A starting O-line of…
Henderson-Gallery-Hartwig-Walker/Campbell-Veldheer
equals 2010/2011 AFC West Division Champs!
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:33 pm
Hartwig can play both center and guard, and you know how much Cable loves versatility in his offensive linemen.

September 3rd, 2010 at 6:40 pm
Sorry, but anyone that thinks that TJ Houshmanzadeh wouldn’t help this team is smoking crack. I don’t care if the guy is 34 years old, he can still play and will prove that with his next team.
I’d love to see him come here, but I think he’s more likely to end up with somebody that’s looking for one more piece to get them over the top. Housh, Randy Moss and Welker would make a pretty fearsome group in New England, for example.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:45 pm
Per a league source, Hartwig has received permission to seek a trade. If Hartwig can’t arrange a trade, he’ll reportedly be cut.

‘Jets In Danger Of Losing Revis Forever’
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AhGSdi0lisfFRcDd7UXASc1DubYF?slug=jc-revis090210
_____________________________________________________
I know I’m probably gonna catch grief for this, but I would be geeked if Al could lure Revis to come here and play opposite Nnamdi.
In the “Passing Oriented” league of today, Teams would never be able to pass the ball against us anymore. They would have to become completely one dimensional and rely on the running game.
If they did try to drop back to pass the ball, imagine all the coverage sacks that our D-line would accumulate.
Al Davis has always been about getting the best players, and we all know how much he wants to create a new millenium version of
Lester Hayes and Mike Haynes.
If anybody could do it, Big Al could. If he could spend that contract on Deangelo Hall, he could do it for Revis.
It’s ok to dream right?
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:52 pm

Stranger things have happened. We would be the top defense in the league.
September 3rd, 2010 at 6:52 pm
TJ’s has maybe 2 years left of high level play, is it worth halting the development of these young players. The way they are playing right now I think you stay the course.
Can TJ help us sure he can, how much better than one of these guy’s getting better is the cost I’m not sure he’s worth it. Last year he would’ve been great this year these kids are scorching defenses now. I say let it ride.

September 3rd, 2010 at 6:57 pm
From a Titan Blog:
After a long hold out and short mini-camp, Chris Johnson’s preseason will end with 19 carries for 39 yards. The 2,000 yard rusher will be sitting out the final preseason game.
This move goes along with many other star players in the league as the preseason comes to an end and the real season approaches.
Johnson has been talking a big game coming into the season, making MVP predictions and 2,500 yard guarantees.
One thing is for certain, Johnson has some big shoes to fill, shoes that he himself has built.

Revis is just way over my head pie in the sky type deal. But to be honest that’s exactly how they got Haynes, NE didn’t want to pay him. We could send Routt and a 4th and pay him the money.

If Veldheer is the center i wish him luck. I hope he is not though because i had high hopes for him one day being our starting LT. Our 1st pick is a second rounder next draft and there is mor likely to be a top ranked C in the second round than there is a top ranked LT

Following the Pittsburgh Steelers’ promotion of Maurkice Pouncey to starting center, we wondered aloud in print on the Internet whether 2009 starter Justin Hartwig would become trade bait.
With teams finalizing their cuts prior to Saturday’s deadline, it appears that he has.
ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports that Hartwig has been given permission to talk to other teams about a trade. Although Schefter doesn’t list any possibilities, we do know that Denver, Houston, Kansas City, Oakland and Philadelphia could all be in the market.
If a trade doesn’t occur, it’s possible that Hartwig will be cut by the deadline.
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:30 pm
According to Schefter were in the market for every1
September 3rd, 2010 at 7:35 pm
Again, I know it sounds far fetched, but remember the relationship that Nnamdi and Revis developed during the Pro Bowl and off season.
They said that they wanted to play together, and all the media outlets jumped on that story and had already written Nnamdi a one way ticket to New York.
Well Nnamdi’s still with the Raiders and happy, while Revis feels betrayed by the Jets and is on his way out of NY.
Perhaps Nnamdi’s befriending of Revis last season was the first step of a plan to unite the two here in Oakland, knowing that Nnamdi had just gotten his mega contract, and Al Davis is one of the few owners who will actually be willing to pay the kind of money that Revis wants.
Just something to think about. Like I said, stranger things have happened.

Raiders trading for Revis to play opposite Asomugha, with 34mm and Tyvon at safety, would without a doubt be one of the top defensive backfields in NFL history: Willie Brown, Doc Death, Atkinson & the Assasin: RAvens reed and McAlister & Co., Haynes, Hayes, Davis & McElroy.
Al would pay Revis and resign Asomugha so as they would be together for the next 4 years.
September 3rd, 2010 at 8:15 pm
Sage Rosenfels going to NY, leads to Leinart being cut, no one is going to take his contract. Leinart’ll play somewhere, but for league minimum plus incentives.
Just not fot the Raiders.

Reed in Baltimore starting on the PUP list, he and Sharper of the Saints, the Market for Mr. Huff just doubled, NE lost a DB and the Jets still have the Revis holdout, so the Market for Mr. Huff just quadrupled.
Raiders will at least get a 3rd or 4th for Huff.

They do that now its called man 2 man. No pressure on the Qb and DB’s can only stay with their guy for so long, the TE eats us up or the 3rd WR, take your pick.
Revis would be nice on paper but he wouldn’t add 1 win to our record.

Cards, Leinart continue their game of chicken
Posted by Mike Florio on September 3, 2010 7:30 PM ET
The Cardinals would like to get something, anything in return for 2006 first-round pick Matt Leinart. And by all appearances the Cardinals don’t want to cut him loose, since doing so would likely result in Leinart making a beeline for Pete Carroll and his Seahawks.
So with the Cardinals expressly giving Leinart permission to seek his own trade and Leinart opting not to do so because he thinks staying put is his best chance of starting in 2010, coach Ken Whisenhunt has taken things up a notch.
Per Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic, Whisenhunt summarized the key question on Friday: “[C]an he survive in the role as a No. 2 on this team? And that’s really what the decision is about.”
On the surface, it’s an unusual question, given that Leinart has survived in that role for the last two seasons behind Kurt Warner. But Derek Anderson is a far cry from Kurt Warner, and the fact that Leinart can’t beat out a guy who flamed out as the Browns’ starter surely makes it much harder for Leinart to accept his role.
The fact that he thinks staying in Arizona gives him the best chance to start proves it.
Either way, the only way the Cardinals will keep Leinart is if they decide to carry four quarterbacks. Rookies Max Hall and John Skelton have looked good so far, and the Cardinals likely wouldn’t be able to sneak one of them through to the practice squad. And given the franchise’s historical luck, the guy they’d cut would end up being the next Kurt Warner, and the guy they keep would end up being the next Matt Leinart.
For now, we’re sticking with our prediction that the Cardinals will cut Leinart and that he’ll sign with the Seahawks within hours thereafter

ArmChair its a matter of opinion. Shut down corners on both sides are nice but if you dont pressure the Qb or stop the run it doesn’t make much difference.

The Bears drafted wideout Julio Iglesias in the third round of last year’s draft and Johnny Knox in the fifth round. Knox is on his way towards becoming the team’s No. 1 receiver, while Iglesias won’t even make the roster this year.
Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Iglesias has been informed of his release. It’s early to give up on a prospect, but the Bears are deep at receiver and Iglesias wasn’t a fit for Mike Martz’s offense

September 3rd, 2010 at 9:16 pm
Yeah, as a Chicagoan I can say that the Bears’ wideouts are very underrated. Knox is a potential superstar, Devin Aromashodu is a vertical threat with great hands, size, and speed. Earl Bennett is a pretty decent possession guy, Devin Hester can at the very least stretch the field.
Sure, it might not be Moss/Welker or Austin/Williams/Bryant, but those guys can get the job done. The real question mark in Chicago is their defensive back seven and their offensive line.

I would personnaly take at least half the leagues wideout groups over the Bears. They really aren’t anything special. If they do put up #’s it will be for 2 reasons, 1) Mike Martz’s scheme 2) the bears stink and will probaly be behind in a lot of games and have to throw the ball a lot. The recievers you named will only get decent #’s by default not because they are so awesome.

I’m hoping for Logan Mankins, and then we find a WR and FB after cuts. (I wouldn’t be mad if we made a deal for Housh or M.Barber) always loved Marion Barber’s aggresive style.

Agreed, except I wouldn’t get Stevie Brown out there just yet. (yes he looked good in preseason). I do look foward to seeing more MM34, I’m cool W/ Routt starting, (leave Tyvon at safety). Remember Nnamdi is supposed to cover the #1 wideout this year. Trade Huff!!
September 3rd, 2010 at 9:57 pm
I was saying earlier that people made CJ37 sound so great but that was because he was replacing a loser like Deangelo Hall. It’s easy to look good when you replace trash. (take notice J. Campbell and Grads replacing Jameatloaf) Not that they are bad but compared to who they are replacing they look like the second coming. Just a matter of perspective.

September 3rd, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Personally, I was always surprised by Chris Johnson’s performance. I never thought of him as a long-term solution, mostly because his “breakout year” happened when we was already an 8-year veteran. It was only a matter of time before his play declined, especially considering that he plays across from Nnamdi so he’s targeted a ridiculous amount.
Maybe his injury slowed him down a little and he was just off his game last night, but it was only a matter of time before the Raiders had to find a long-term answer at CB anyway.
Hopefully the light really did switch on for Routt this season. I’ll believe it when I see it in the regular season. If not, with any luck Walter McFadden can step up.

To those who do not think adding revis would add a victory or two to the Raiders win totals; all the experts, prognosticators not just esp, but NFL network analysists as well say the difference in the Jets resigning Revis or not is a key factor in them reaching the Super Bowl.
Winning that one AFC championship game will be a lot more diificult than the Raiders going 4-2 over 3-3 in their AFC west.
I know its just wishful thinking, but yes I would like to see revis come to the Raiders, even if we have to give up our 1st round pick in 2012.
as for Huff for Barber trade scenario, that would be excellent news, except for the fact I drafted neither Finley or Barber, or McFadden for that matter, and I was just brainstorming possible trades earlier that made sense for both teams. I still think Bush could be 1000 yd rusher as long as he stays in shape while he is out.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Trading Huff too now. Man, those draft picks from 2005 through 2009 were really bad….
Anyway, I think you keep Huff at this point. He’s getting the job done and is not a liability. The risk in my opinion would be moving a successfull strong safety in Tyvon Branch to a new position this late in the season and putting in Mike Mitchell to start at SS.
Sure, Mitchell may ring up a hit or two…but he’s going to get abused in the passing game.
Too late for this late trade B.S. Safety is not the issue on this team right now.
Its the FREEKIN run defense and the front 7. The Safety is not the key cog in the run defense..its the front 7.
But Al DAvis and Oakland fans in general don’t get that concept. Hence the blistering criticism of Huff for missing a tackle 30 yards down field…and dreams of Revis and Asomugha in the backfield.
Until the Raiders stop with this “back 7″ mentality..and realize the game is won up front..they will continue to lose and lose often.
Stop looking for ESPN highlights! That’s NOT where the game is won!
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Raiders could have for an ofeensive line:
LT-Barnes LG-Gallery C-Mawae RG-Mankins RT-Gaither
Bench: Vehldeer LT/C, Campbell RG/RT, Henderson LT & Satele C and what they could learn from the starting five would solidify the Raiders for years to come.
Now thats an offensive line that could take a team to the playoffs.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:32 pm
Fix the O-line, win the division. The problem on defense is that the Raiders aren’t inserting that big run clogger in the front 4 on run plays.
Kelly and Seymour are good, but you need that run clogger to stop the run.
When we were good in our division at the beginning of the decade we had big John Parella, Sam Adams, and Ted Washington on our front defensive line.
What happened to that?
Until Big Al and Cable stop screwing around, and get us some bruisers up front, we will keep having the same problems.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:34 pm
34mm would play FS, Branch would remain at SS if Huff gets traded and we would have the steal of the seventh round, S. Brown as backup.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:36 pm
We stopped the run when we had lean muscle on the line, like Seymour.. aka Howie Long & Co.
Teams ran over Adams and Washington alot.
This year with both Kelly and Seymour play DT on the inside (Seymour’s more natural and productive position) we will stop the run.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:39 pm
Mitchell is not going to get abused in the passing game.
He is going to do the abusing.
Opposition wide receivers are going to be terrified of catching passes.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:40 pm
There’s also Brandon Jacobs who is a little unhappy playing second string, I know this is a reach, but I’m sure Giants would love to unload his contract now.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Seymour should be paired up with John Henderson. Stopping the run is his specialty. Kelly is improved this year, but I think Henderson and Seymour should be in there on run plays.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:51 pm
-Mitchell & Branch at Ss, and Brown is a good bakup.
-Trade Huff, IF he can’t play CB, but give him a chance to showcase his talents there. Damn you Cable. I’m sick of that Fat Monkey.
-keep TH, and let him play on passing downs.
-we are trying Barns at LT, but we are not giving the 2 OT rookies a chance to show what they can do at that position. Both played LT at college, we are trying one at C, and the other player at G. Damn you Fat Monkey!
Fire the Fat Monkey!!!
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:53 pm
Who says Branch is playing FS if Huff is traded?
FS: Eugene, Brown
SS: Branch, Mitchell
Jerry Mac reported that when Huff was off the field during camp Mitch was the single deep safety and wasn’t very impressive
as of right this second Huff is our ONLY option to play centerfield
However, he’s due over $5 million this year and can void his contract next season. As a business decision, do you get something in return while you still can? I think it would come down to the compensation (what we get in return)
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:55 pm
WRs will fear Mitchell! Print that!
Branch loves contact too.
I’m not sold on Routt & CJ, but I think McFadden can be great. I hope Ware can develop faster.
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:57 pm
why don’t we trade Higgins, Huff & McFadden to a team like Indy or New England?
then you guys get your wish and scrubs like Nick Miller, Hiram Eugene & Rock Cartwright can run rampant on the roster …
funny – I don’t see many people campaigning for Sam Williams, too religious?

Lane Kiffin His Typical Villainous Self Right Off the Bat 9/03/2010 3:20 AM ET By Clay Travis
If you ever doubted how quickly the world of college football can change, Lane Kiffin is the perfect test case. Two years ago, hardly any college football fans outside of the hardest core USC fan in Los Angeles had any opinion of Lane Kiffin at all. Twenty months later, he’s the most hated man in college football. The man with the smirk heard ’round the world. Ever wonder what Johnny from “Karate Kid” would look like if he’d grown up to coach football?
Lane Kiffin is the answer.
Not only is Kiffin the most hated man in college football, he doesn’t even have a rival for the second-most hated. Honestly, can you even name the second-most hated entity in college football? Maybe the NCAA? The BCS? That’s how hated Lane Kiffin is, the NCAA and the BCS might have a higher favorability rating. Even ESPN, the network that created the monster that is Lane Kiffin, seems a bit taken aback by the character they’ve created. Most of the offseason they’ve attempted to create a kinder, gentler Lane, rehabilitate his image after the drubbing it took in 13 months in Knoxville.
That’s the only explanation for why sideline reporter Shelley Smith began the Hawaii game by saying: “Everything Lane Kiffin does is calculated.” Right, and Tiger Woods wanted to get busted with his mistresses, too.
Lane Kiffin coaches football like he’s playing a video game. He gives press conferences like he’s on X-Box live. How infuriating was Lane Kiffin in his first year as Tennessee’s head coach? He could make SEC Commissioner Mike Slive, one of the nicest guys on the planet, boil with rage. Why? Because Kiffin doesn’t care about anything or anyone that came before him, anything or anyone that exists around him. No matter how much he tries, Kiffin can’t shield the disrespect that he has for his opponents. He coaches with a palpable arrogance, a belief that he’s God’s gift to the game.
Maybe it comes from Kiffin never having had to work his way up the coaching ranks, so he doesn’t have any ability to project what it might be like to not have one of the best jobs. Maybe it’s something that’s just unique to his personality. Maybe it’s just being 35. Maybe it’s having a dad who didn’t spend enough time with him when he was growing up.
No matter what, Kiffin’s an egocentric enigma. For instance, if I told you that only one coach in America was going to go for two the first three times his team scored a touchdown in the opening week of the season, wouldn’t you have known it was going to be Lane Kiffin without even having to watch the games?
Of course you would have.
Somehow, some way, Lane Kiffin, a college football villain so delectable we couldn’t create him if we tried, is going to find a way to do something ignoble. That’s why I was willing to stay up until 2 a.m. Central Time when Kiffin took his show outside the continental United States for the first game of his USC tenure. Here were 10 observations from the game.
1. Mark Jones tries to give Bob Davie a fist pound to open up the telecast.
Davie goes with an open-handed palm touch in response.
It will be the first of many missed signals in Thursday night/Friday morning’s broadcast.
If you had to sum up Bob Davie’s life in one image without using any words, this would probably be as good an image as any to choose. Everything Davie does is just a bit off. From the decision to use all three buttons on his polo — is there a draft in the Hawaiian press box? — to his inability to ever do anything halfway. Davie gushes about every head coach. Perhaps because, to Bob Davie, every coach he watches looks pretty impressive.
Davie is a modest man, with much to be modest about.
2. Lane Kiffin goes for two on his first touchdown.
Of course, he does. You can’t even make this up. It’s the perfect thing for Lane Kiffin to decide to do. Something that no one else would attempt, an oddly dismissive gesture that has no real substance behind it. What message, exactly, is being sent by this decision? Later Kiffin will probably say something about how this move was designed to show his team they would never quit.
Because, clearly, everyone who kicks extra points is quitting.
ESPN misses this two-point conversion attempt because even the network is shocked by the diabolical evil that is Lane Kiffin.
3. I keep expecting to see Lane Kiffin tweeting insults to Urban Meyer on the sideline.
You know this is happening too, don’t you? At halftime of one of USC’s games Lane Kiffin is going to criticize the officiating on Twitter.
I’m so sure of this I wish I could place a prop bet in Las Vegas.
4. Hawaii appears to be going with my fourth grade PE offense: go long on every play.
But it bounces back to cut the lead to 6-3 midway through the first quarter.
Amazingly, by sticking with the go long on every play offense, eventually they begin to carve massive chunks of yardage out of the USC defense.
5. ESPN lauds Kiffin for having his scout team perform the Hawaiian dance.
Perhaps this time spent performing the Hawaiian dance could have been spent on some more rudimentary tactics. Such as, I don’t know, tackling.
Or constructing a defensive game plan?
6. Shelley Smith reports there are no celebrities on the USC sideline.
Then at halftime, just after a blown call that costs Hawaii a touchdown, she fails to ask Kiffin the only question worth asking: why have you been going for two? Instead she asks Kiffin: “What have they figured out?”
And Lane Kiffin, God bless him, responds: “Nothing. They figured out that we hit the guy late.”
Those 16 points — which should have been 20 — were clearly a calculated part of the master plan.
7. Matt Barkley is good, really good.
He’s going to keep Lane Kiffin from getting fired for two years. Then he’s going to go pro and Lane Kiffin will be fired the next season. Go ahead and write this down.
That’s the gospel truth.
In the meantime, Barkley will become the next in a storied line of USC quarterbacks to receive a Heisman invitation to New York. He throws for five touchdowns against Hawaii’s porous defense.
It could have been 10.
8. The other story from the game is this: USC’s secondary is going to get roasted in the Pac-10 this year.
Actually, even UVa might roast it next week.
Having watched him for one season at Tennessee, I think this much is also clear: Monte Kiffin’s defensive guru status doesn’t translate as well on the collegiate level.
Not with limited college practice hours anyway.
Hawaii’s offense moves the ball at will against USC. Bryant Moniz, its quarterback, looked an awful lot like running back Dexter McCluster from Ole Miss. The Monte Kiffin defense had no answer until he’s knocked out of the game with a hit of borderline legality in the latter part of the third quarter.
And then once Hawaii brought in its third string quarterback, the Monte Kiffin defense continued to get lit up. How bad was it? Hawaii put up 613 total yards of offense, including 459 through the air.
It got so bad I realized that Monte was never shown on television all night. Was he even there? Was it past his bedtime? Because this looked an awful lot like an Ed Orgeron gameplan.
By which, of course, I mean there was no gameplan.
9. The next-to-last USC touchdown of the night? Lane Kiffin’s Trojans line up to attempt, what else, a two-point conversion.
Backup quarterback Mitch Mustain is successful rushing the ball in for the conversion and the Trojans are right back where they would have been if they’d simply kicked the extra points all night long.
42 points.
10. From here both teams duel well into the night, until just about 3 in the morning Eastern Time, a four-hour slugfest when the score ends 49-36.
As he jogs off the field, Lane Kiffin, a legend in his own mind, has run his career head coaching record to 13-21.
And the first tremors of uncertainty are racing along the USC fan fault line. Uh oh, they’re thinking.
Get used to it, say fans from back in the Volunteer state.

Huff is Huff. great cover guy. adequate tackler (for a free safety)
Branch = Gibril Wilson
Mitchell = Derrick Gibson
Boyd = Roy Williams
sure it’s nice to have a safety that can knock somebody’s head off, but a safety that can’t cover is like a O-Lineman that can’t block – that should be his bread & butter imo
Huff takes the blame for a couple long preseason runs that could have been prevented up front by Bryant, McClain, Scott and a few others.
Against Seattle 2 of those guys sat and Scott played DE. result? stout run defense! coincidence?

Do you think the rumors are due to Huff’s play, or that we have talent at the S position in Branch, Mitchell, and Maybe Brown that the ORG feels that a trade would benefit the team more than keeping Huff?

To answer your question, Huff has played his last days for the Raiders, especially with the emergence of Stevie Brown.
Raider looking for a roster spot, for some other player, that’s why Huff is being shopped.

He’s gonna be a legit #1 by the end of his career, he wants it. hes out there finishing blocks, layed the stick a few times. im more impressed with him than i thought.

Btw, I’m not that happy about the trade. Since we invested a high 1st RD pick in him, then why not try him at CB since he thinks he can do it. We didn’t even give him a chance in preseason. That bothers me! Look how we played Scott, so why couldn’t we give Huff a few snaps at CB against some 2nd & 3rd unit WRs?

MAN! i was bored as he!! so i youtubed some players, and i didnt realize how many nice grabs murphy had last yr, and that was with jamarcus. i say he gets very close to doubling his production this year. He’s gonna be a legit #1 by the end of his career, he wants it. hes out there finishing blocks, layed the stick a few times. im more impressed with him than i thought.
However a nice slot/possession guy is exactly what we need. glasses in the air to al signing whosyourmama when seattle lets him go.
******************
22, I agree Murphy will double his stats from last year.
But, those catches look spectacular because JaFatty’s passes were so far off the mark.
It is kindda like an Outfielder making a dreat diving catch… because he is too slow to just run under it and make the catch. It still looks great!!

RAIDER DELL stood before the paper shredder looking confused.
“Need some help?” asked the secretary.
“Yes,” he replied, “how does this thing work?”
“Oh it’s simple,” said the secretary as she grabbed the report out of his hand and shoved it into the shredder.
Still looking confused, the DELL said, “Thanks, but where do the copies come out?

Lane Kiffin Scandal Coming: Booze, Ladies, Car Wrecks, NCAA Violations
By Larry Burton (Featured Columnist) on January 18, 2010
For College Football Fans
Ranking The Top 100 Current CFB Coaches
Big Ten Divisions: Winners and Losers
100 Reasons to Be Excited For The Season
Hell may have no wrath like a woman’s scorn, but fan wrath is right up there with it. And now angry fans no longer feel the need to try and protect the King Rat and his court.
Stories and photos are coming out, such as the one above showing Lane Kiffin out drinking with Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, and Kiffin’s brother-in-law David Reaves at a local Knoxville bar, where witnesses say Kiffin was getting cozy with the ladies.
There is also a hushed up story of a car allegedly wrecked by Kiffin, under the influence, with some young ladies in the car. Now that may become public, as well.
Allegedly, Lane Kiffin had female co-eds in a rental car loaned to him through the UT program. Lane Kiffin crashed the car, while possibly intoxicated, and left the scene of the accident by scurrying off with a neighbor who came to his rescue—leaving the ladies to take the fall.
The story goes on to say that someone dropped the loaner car off, which suffered extensive damage. Now the Knoxville car dealership (Lexus) wants their money, since Kiffin plans on jumping ship and neither he nor the school has paid up.
What do you want to bet that car gets magically fixed by Kiffin to help keep it quiet? The problem is that TMZ, a television gossip show, is on the scene in Knoxville and is spreading cash around to anyone with pictures, stories, and proof.
Supposedly, they are building up a whole show’s worth of interviews and scandal.
And before it’s over, the NCAA may have the last word.
Lane Kiffin allegedly lied before heading off to his destination in Los Angeles, by stating that he will not recruit the players that go to UT unless they call him. The snafu is that his recruiter, Ed Orgeron, slipped up and stated to reporters that they initiated many cell phone calls to some of the 26 Tennessee recruits that they both received commitments from. It has also been stated that Kiffin’s recruiter also told players not to attend spring classes for the week. In addition, students were also offered USC scholarships.
Now the NCAA has come back with their rules stating that a student-athlete that is currently enrolled in one school and then transfers to another must sit out for a year before they will be eligible to compete, and that an institution cannot contact a student-athlete without the permission of the current institution.
Uh oh! These would be penalties that wouldn’t affect Tennessee, but would directly affect Kiffin and USC. Kiffin was, in effect, already the head coach of USC at the time these calls were made by his recruiting coordinator, who had just been named to the USC staff, as well.
The school was paying for the cell phones in question, and supposedly, they already have proof from the call records and testimony of athletes to prove this wrong doing did take place.
So not only may USC have hired a scummy coach, they could have bought themselves more NCAA problems, as well. Boy, talk about karma.
TMZ is tracking down other “ladies” who are willing to come forward and tell all for the man who left them just as high and dry. This could be a fun offseason after all, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

very true raccoon, but i like the way he went up for balls. bad throws or not.
on a side note i love how everybody in here sees one thing and completely runs with it.
EXAMPLE 1: trevor scott plays one game at end to keep him used to playing on passing downs, and now every1 says he’s a terrible lb and we need to get him outta here? I’m truly embarrassed for the bloggers who said that. he will be one of our most important defenders this yr.
EXAMPLE2: One tiny little spat of michael huff getting traded comes out, and boom hes awful and needs to split town. what makes me laugh even more is the reasoning that stevie brown makes him expandable due to the fact that hes made a couple plays against 3rd and 4th stringers. come on fellas, youre better than that. now i will admit getting something for huff in his last yr makes sense, considering we have mitchell and branch for the next handful of years. but considering his salary as the 7th pick, we’d be lucky to get much for him. HOWEVER, if im al i would be on the phone with ozzie newsome. the ravens secondary is in terrible shape, such bad of shape that they must be willing to part with something of value to help it out. thats where jared gaither comes into the picture, he would help us tremendously. maybe we throw howard in there as well, but not much else. That addition would pump me up, bc we could then slide walker back inside to rg where he performed admirably last season. carlisle is a piss poor starting lineman.
just a thought..

I wouldn’t put it past Big Al. He was far too quiet in the offseason. And we all know how he likes to catch the rest of the NFL off guard.

We all know how those free agent signings went, don’t we?
September 4th, 2010 at 1:05 am
i must say after originally being excited about the prospects, recent developments as al rears his ugly head into the fold has got me some what souring on our chances. the only way we are a playoff team is if someone ties up and gags al and john and throws them in the janitors closet with some moth balls. al’s fingerprints are all over the media cloak and no safety will ever be sucessful here in the cover one, print it (no single high safety, you can’t run that play)
September 4th, 2010 at 1:08 am
comparing campbell and grads……i like what grads did on that touchdown pass to tonga, he had other options but he made a nice read in seeing that tonga had blockers (3) in front and i am not sure campbell doesn’t go to the other open who didn’t have any blockers in front.
September 4th, 2010 at 1:33 am
housh would be great but does anyone think pc will deal anyone to the raiders? kiffin, anyone?

Hey TheyCallMeAssassin Your post on # 40 good point your right for that reason alone Drafting M. L. Would have been a good thing lol. No way to know for sure if he would have taken Johnson but they probably would not have take Jamarcus either. If I am not mistaken though Olsen was in that draft too the tight end. Al would have done something stupid in 07 and taken Olsen in the first round and passed on Miller in the second. LOL On the other hand choosing the wrong tight end is not as bad as choosing the wrong QB.

JLH will have less of a role than last year, will be removed from punt return duties, and will be no higher than #3 WR (which he was at the beginning and end of last year).

I don’t, that is why I said “i am not sure campbell doesn’t go to the other open who didn’t have any blockers in front”.
Why are you such a DA?
September 4th, 2010 at 6:52 am

September 4th, 2010 at 6:55 am
Gnarly you are suggesting JC would have picked the “wrong” open man. It’s utterly retarded to second guess something like this. Maybe you just want to amuse yourself. I should leave you alone. Why dont you reach for one of those butterflys flying around your head.

September 4th, 2010 at 7:04 am
Huff is not crap. Does he miss a tackle here and there? Yes every safety does. He has shown improvement each of the last 2 years and he can cover a TE.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:09 am
Can’t imagine Huff, with only 1 year on his contract and set to make millions this year, would get anything in the trade market.
Player values for trades are way understated right now in cut time.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:09 am
please ever since he got face planted by lindale white in the nat. title game he has done NOTHING!! for the 7th pick in that draft hes a bust too!! safeties in the nfl should not be getting face planted!!! its embarrasing ie… hiram eugene another one..
September 4th, 2010 at 7:10 am
if jerry jones is willing to let barber go for huff i make that trade instantly! i send the jet to pick barber up
September 4th, 2010 at 7:12 am
i dont like 205 lb safeties anyhow… i like guys playn back there to be in the 215 – 225 range who have a fast motor and who love to lay the wood down
September 4th, 2010 at 7:17 am
mike huff scares no one when hes back there!! t. branch plays cf and get mitchell and steve brown on the field… those latter 2 are gonna put physical harm on anyone going over the middle
September 4th, 2010 at 7:18 am
Huff is a safety that can cover a TE and get you a pick now & then. Can your 225 safety do that? He has skills just not the ones you like but he has a role on this team, deal with it.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:22 am
30 year, who would you rather cover Antonio Gates W McFadden, CJ, Routt, MM or Huff?
I’ll take my chances with Huff out of that group. Will he knock his head off? No, but he will cover him pretty dam good.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:23 am
wow, mistabrownlover
when i said that i am not sure campbell would have done the same thing that is what i meant. if you can’t comprehend what you read then go back to first grade. i prefer grads to campbell, didn’t you prefer russell to grads? you have no credibiltiy plain and simple. you think if you start name calling, which obviously worked well for you in first grade when you were supposed to be learning to read,people will back down from you. it’s a purely hypothetical question which we will never know the answer to, which is why it is my opinion. so no need to get your panties in an uproar.
i don’t think huff is crap and mm hasn’t done anything in the nfl, so he is an unproven commodity, but being al’s boy, he obviously is the chosen one. i have to remember to spell things out i guess specifically for you that every safety we have had has not worked well in al’s defensive scheme.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:27 am
The Steelers just cut C Justin Hartwig. I guess Pouncey played pretty well in camp.
He would be an instant upgrade over Satele/Morris/Veldeheer.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:27 am
Its obvious you prefer Grads thats why you are second guessing 1 single play like a slobbering fool.
Gnarly I preferred Russell ??????
LMFAO…you have me VERRRRRY mixed up with somebody else, tool
Since you are calling me names its obvious you are having a bad day. You should try meditation or yoga.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:27 am
i am waiting to see if sam williams gets cut, that will tell me a lot about the owners contribution intentions for the season.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:30 am
Gnarly, I have been punding tj for over a year for his luv of Russell and you have the audacity to call me a Russell supporter? FK’n tool you cant be serious!
My names for Russell include the following.
-JaMeatball
-JaMarshmallow
-JaMeatloaf
Now get out of my face Grandpa you are senile!
September 4th, 2010 at 7:31 am
Lots of trade-pickup ideas floating around…
I’d like to keep Huff, he’s a decent player but…
I’d have to take a hard look at both Roy Williams and Tashard Choice.
RW would be a huge gamble, major talent who just can’t get it done, he’s always an injury risk but as the top dog in Detroit he did have a couple of nice seasons, maybe it happens for him here, on the fence about him.
Tashard Choice, this kid is a nice player, not a lot of wear in is tires and has a nice all-around game, I think the Cowboys would be crazy to trade him since Felix and Barber are injury prone and this guy has gotten the job done when filling in, I’d give up Huff for him because then we’d be set at RB.
Cuts….TJ Housh, the familiarity with Hue Jackson is a plus and he’d be the kind of mentor we need for the kids, no longer a Pro Bowler but he would definitely help, plenty of teams would want him, he’s not coming here imo.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:31 am
mistabrownlover,
i actually don’t read your posts, i was taking another hypothetical and throwing it out there since it doesn’t hurt.

September 4th, 2010 at 7:36 am
Also, I’d take Marshwan Lynch over Marion Barber, not only is Lynch 3 years younger (he’s also younger than Bush by the way) but he’s just a natural runner, I love his style.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:36 am
why would the cowboys let Choice go?
September 4th, 2010 at 7:38 am
That’s what I’m wondering Hobs…it would be stupid, but…
There’s a report out there that they are fielding offers for both Barber and Choice, they denied the Barber talk already but not on Choice.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:39 am
Give me Choice over Barber any day.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:41 am
sorry mista brown had to feed my son..i would prefer to have tyvon branch covering gates out of all those guys u had listed.. but if hes still on the team after today i still think tom howard is our best cover LB who needs to be on the TE..
September 4th, 2010 at 7:41 am
i would prefer we keep huff and let the rb position play itself out until bush gets healthy.
i think chaz must be closer to a comeback then we think otherwise al would not be all clock and dagger on us, yes i know it’s his trademark to be paranoid, but al has something up his sleeve.
September 4th, 2010 at 7:44 am
maybe choice isn’t the player the cowboys thought, i would be careful picking up a player with his upside being dangled.

I’d have no problem keeping Huff and maybe waiting for another RB to pick out of waivers, but the thing is….I don’t really trust Bush to stay healthy all year long, obviously same goes for Dmac, I’d sleep better having Choice here, he’s as good as those two.

I’ve watched Chocie play, he seems like the real deal, maybe not a superstar but certainly an above average NFL RB….I guess you’re right that it’s weird to shop the guy around but Dallas has a major weakness at the Safety position, they want Super Bowl this year and they may be willing to mortgage the future for a shot, plus Jerry Jones does not always make the best decisions, as we all know.
