Post-practice news, notes

By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010 at 4:07 pm in Oakland Raiders.

News, notes, quotes and observations from locker room access and a post-practice press briefing from Raiders coach Tom Cable:

– Yamon Figurs survived a fumbled kickoff return against San Francisco and a misplayed punt against Seattle in the preseason finale and will return both punts and kickoffs in the opener against the Titans.

Cable, when asked why Figurs got the nod, said, “Probably just the explosiveness. He touches it, and you got a chance for something big every time. That’s a dimension, as we talked about at the end of last season, all through the spring, OTAs, through camp, was developing a return game. We have a number of good returners here. I just think right now, he’s the guy we’ll go with.’’

As for Figurs’ ball security issues, Cable said, “I just think the one, against Seattle, was more kind of misplaying the ball more than anything else. And I think some of that is first time, him being in our stadium and being able to handle it, didn’t get the opportunity the week before against San Francisco.

“He was returning kickoffs. So, not too concerned about it. We kind of put him in that situation here this week and feel good about it.”

Figurs averaged 23.5 yards on kick returns (six returns, 141 yards, long of 34) and 3.3 yards on punt returns (eight returns, one fair catch, 26 yards, long of 16 yards).

– Trevor Scott is not only back at defensive end, but as a starter on the right side.

Scott moved to weak side linebacker for the final six games of the 2009 season, played there all through organized team activities and training camp. He’s listed as a linebacker in the media guide.

Then within the last two weeks, Scott became an end with Quentin Groves starting at weak side linebacker.

Cable warned that in a rotation system, it didn’t necessarily mean Matt Shaughnessy was being demoted.

“It’s just getting the best 11 players on the field. That’s really what it comes down to,’’ Cable said. “And not that Matt Shaughnessy’s not, because he’s a dynamite player. This just gives us more quality depth to have on the field at all times.”

– Newly signed defensive tackle Jay Alford not only gives the Raiders additional depth at tackle, but will also play some end as well.

Both Alford and Richard Seymour are listed among the five defensive tackles on the roster, but both can play outside. Rookie left end Lamarr Houston can also play inside, meaning the Raiders have several different options and combinations.

(Tommy Kelly started his career as an end but hasn’t played there in the last two years).

Cable said it was possible Alford could play Sunday against the Titans.

`He certainly showed today he has some quickness, some pass rush ability,’’ Cable said. “It gives us some pass rush ability, it gives us another big body in there. A big guy that can be multiple and play both tackle and end.’’

Alford said the Giants cut him Saturday, the Raiders called Sunday, and he was in Alameda Monday.

“I guess they really couldn’t find a spot for me,’’ Alford said of the Giants. “They said I’m a pass-rushing d-tackle and they kind of wanted a run-stopping d-tackle.’’

Alford was happy to be reunited with defensive line coach Mike Waufle, because his style is “attack and cause havoc in the backfield. That’s my place, so I like it.’’

In Super Bowl XXLII, Alford’s sack of Tom Brady with 19 seconds to go helped put away a 17-14 win against the previously unbeaten Patriots.

“That was the first team I had been with,’’ Alford said. I still love the Giants. They still have a special place in my heart. At the same time, that’s how the game is played.’’

Alford said he’s 100 percent healthy after missing last season following a partially torn ACL and surgery.

An added Alford bonus _ he was the long-snapper for the Giants in 2007. The Raiders now have a Pro Bowl long-snapper and a Super Bowl champion long-snapper.

– The Raiders will apparently stick to the bare minimum in terms of injury disclosure this season.

With league disclosure mandated today, Oakland reported linebacker Travis Goethel (lower back), Walter McFadden (hamstring) and wide receiver Chaz Schilens (knee) did not participate in practice.

It was the first time the club had confirmed the what parts of the body had been injured for Goethel and McFadden.

Running back Michael Bush (fractured thumb), defensive tackle and Desmond Bryant (elbow) were limited at practice

Cable would not speculate on the likelihood of who would play. The NFL says teams must specify a player as either probable, questionable, doubtful or out on Friday.

Asked if he could expand on Goethel’s injury, Cable said, “Actually, I can’t really expand on it.’’

– Cable did keep alive the hope Bush could play less than four weeks after thumb surgery.

“I think there’s a real chance,’’ Cable said about a question from the Tennessee media about Bush not playing. “I was kind of shocked to hear that today, someone said he was out. He did quite a bit today. We’ll see what he feels like tomorrow.’’

– Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell, in a thoroughly veteran performance, talked for 10 minutes without really saying much of anything.

Campbell did promise an elevated energy level due to the presence of offensive coordinator Hue Jackson.

“He’s always running around, jumping around and I’m like, ‘What are you taking before practice?,’ ‘’ Campbell said. “He always has energy. There’s never a dull moment on our practice field so he brings a lot of excitement to our offense and a lot of energy so that’s the same way we have to play.’’

– The departure of tackle Erik Pears was a minor surprise in that Pears had two distinct roles. He was the backup right tackle to Langston Walker and an extra tight end in short-yardage and goal line situations.

Pears struggled as a Raiders lineman, but had some good moments as an extra tight end _ most notably in a win in Denver last season.

With Pears out, Khalif Barnes becomes the primary backup on both sides. Barnes has also played some tight end in power formations, as has Daniel Loper, Cable said.

– How tight-lipped is rookie starting center Jared Veldheer?

He didn’t want to say how much he had actually played center in college or high school for fear of giving the Titans too much information.

– The NFL Network’s Top 100 series saw its first two Raiders make the list Tuesday night. The series began counting down from 100 to 91, with the second episode starting at 90 and going to 81.

In episode 2, Marcus Allen checked in at No. 85 and Ted Hendricks at No. 82.

Matt Millen on Marcus Allen: “Bo Jackson was phenomenally big and phenomenally fast, but Marcus Allen was head and shoulders a better football player.’’

– Now what?

ESPN’s Adam Schefter, that noted rumor-mongerer and teller of untruths, has picked the Raiders to beat the Titans in Week 1. Former Raider Eric Allen also picked Oakland.

Monte Poole, another whose Raider reviews have put him in the permanent organizational penalty box, said in a column in today’s Bay Area News Group papers Oakland could win 10 games.

    I’m getting seriously pumped for the game, dudes!

    Gonna have a few sluts from the Argentinian national volleyball team over for some pre-game mimosas and tonsil hockey.

    Then we’ll probably smoke some reefer and watch the game in the hot tub until the chicks pass out from heat exhaustion.

    Krappy, if you want to work my party the most I can pay you is $3.80 an hour. But I’ll throw in a half empty bottle of Jamison to make it worth your while.

    Boooooyah!

  5. crister Says:

    god, i remember cheering when tennessee draft vince young because that meant that oakland wouldn’t have had a chance to draft him. i was convinced that he was the definition of suck. i’m still not a young fan, but man . . . to think of all the pain he would have saved me from… oh well…

  6. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    Ravens RB Willis McGahee was absent from practice today. There have been some trade rumors surrounding him this offseason. Hopefully Big Al is going to make a trade and bring us some RB depth.

  7. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    Scott over Shaughnessy is a strange move, but they’ll both probably see plenty of snaps.

  8. Scott starting at RDE! - Page 2 - Oakland Raiders Forum | Message Board - Where the Raider Nation lives! Says:

    Marcus Allen, Adam S and Monte Poole all in one post? Yeesh Jerry if you’d mentioned Gannon and Kiffin too the Raider PR guys would be leaving a horse head in your bed tonight.

  10. chrisram73 Says:

    Very weird that Shaughnessy is left out. This has all the bad smell of Al Davis doing what Warren Sapp said he would do… Opinions…(?)

  11. raideredoutL.A. Says:

    ready to get this season started!

  12. raideredoutL.A. Says:

    the d-line will rotate like crazy, ten’s o-line wont know who’s lining up against them on every play.

  13. Coach on Wheels Says:

    Matt S got torched by Gore in SF game. The next week Scott was at DE. Again Matt will get plenty of plays. D-line is the one area “starter” matters the least in the NFL. PLUS, Scott is a better fit to suddenly stand-up in a zone-blitz combo with a LB blitzing while he drops.

    Expect lots of movement in the front 7 as Marshall looks to create mismatches.

  14. JLofty Says:

    I have concerns about Figures ability to catch the rock in return situs. First job (especially since we now have a offense) is to take poss of the ball.
    Also worried about MBush and his ability to hang onto the ball with a broken left thumb (hes left handed). It is not like he was especially good at not fumbling previously…..
    That said, STILL fired up for Sunday. I think the Raiders will finally play football for 60 mins EVERY Sunday in 2010.

    HILARIOUS!!!

  20. Raider E Says:

    Bush will be listed as probable and never see the field imo….

  21. Raider E Says:

    we knew that a week ago….

  22. Carl Weathers Says:

    Ugoh has been cut! Pick him up and cut our starting KR/PR.

    Raiders 23-13 Titans

  23. Macho Man Randy Savage Says:

    Why is Figurs returning Punts & KOs? because Al said so. Why is Scott starting at DE? because Al has a man-crush on Scott. Why is Bush practicing? Because Al thinks it might help Dmac with his runs between the guards…what else…oh yeah, lets hope they keep the 8 d-linemen when Bryant is healthy. Cut a WR! What, now we are the greatest show on turf? are you running a Bobsled team on the side? whats with all the chity WRs? cut them loose!

  24. KoolKell Says:

    Get all that and the Raiders could manage their first 10-win season since 2002.

    Is all that possible? Yes. Is it realistic? No. It’s not likely each of these factors will be optimized. But as long as Oakland is 0-0, as it is today, it has a chance. Until the Raiders take a seventh loss, 10-6 is not impossible.

    M. Poole

  25. Senior Beeecham Says:

    Krappy, what is taking you so long to read the new post and leave a dimwitted comment?

    Let me guess, you’re busy sending an email to Jerry crying about how you get picked on and can’t defend yourself.

    Go get ‘em, you withered old goat! And keep the comedy coming!

  26. noteasilyimpressed Says:

    Shaunessey is their best DE, but I believe the Raiders will rotate well with all DE’s this game. Vince Young will be doing plenty of scrambling Sunday. Raiders will be ready for it with 3/4 defense and mix & match front 7.

  27. Macho Man Randy Savage Says:

    I have not read Monty Pooles column, but if the Raiders win 10 with this O-line, they could go undefeated with a decent set of O-line players and coaches.

  28. Norco Bob Says:

    old man, nobody at all listens to Poole anymore,..if there is one bigger embarrassment in the bay area then you,..it would be monte poole,..another jealous loser…he tries to come off as a smart guy, but hes not, hes just a jealous loser with a laptop…like you….tell that to the other welfare cases at the barber shop punk. And dont bogard the pork rinds.

  29. Raider E Says:

    99 is the best DE….

  30. r8eray Says:

    Raiders win 27-19

  31. Senior Beeecham Says:

    Right on cue, old fool! And with a dimwitted cut and paste job, to boot. Well played.

    You never fail to live up to your name or reputation, Krappy Krap!

  32. Macho Man Randy Savage Says:

    I agree, Shaunessey is our most complete DE, strong against the run and pressures the QB. he aint Reggie White, but he’s much better against the run (CJ2k anybody?) than Scott…getting the best 11 on the field? or geting Al’s 11 on the field?

  33. supapimp Says:

    i sure hope the raiders can beat the titans on the road in the TENN heat and humidity, but i don’t see it tho, and i hope i’m totally wrong, just being a realist.

  34. Norco Bob Says:

    My final prediction for sundays game,…as you all know I attend every game so this one sunday is meaningless to me,..wont pay close attention, I will be in a sports bar watching like 7 games….here it is….Titans win it and it wont be close….44-13 is my final score prediction…but I will be at Rams game,..mainly to tailgate,..get drunk and stoned…and to barbeque….all you losers in the bay area enjoy the game on the radio…old kell, stop humiliating yourself like loser monte poole…Glenn Dickey writes circles around that fool poole…I have spoken, you heard me,..get a life you mamas boys. Cya.

  35. Macho Man Randy Savage Says:

    Raiders get beat 44-13, and Cable starts calling High Schools asking for janitor jobs.

  36. Senior Beeecham Says:

    Krappy, have you been able to convince your old lady to spring for a large Domino’s pie for the game? That would suck for you to have to slurp down Cream of Wheat as a snack.

  37. Carl Weathers Says:

    Watch this… The D will shine, the O will look respectable and even exciting at times and the friggin ST will blow games like Gina Lynn at a bachelor party.

    Why the f23k is Figurs starting both punts AND kick offs after muffing 2, thats TWO balls in the preseason!!

    Didn’t we draft guys like JLH, Ford & Miller to fill these spots?

  38. stoopidmike Says:

    Trevor Scott over Matt—Disagree. Scott too small to play the run. Titans gonna smother him. 3rd down, different story…Yamon Figurs as Return Man—Don’t mind that. He’ll be better than the garbage we’ve had the last few years back there.

  39. 909RaiderLifer Says:

    Raiders 27–Titans 24

    SeaBass kicks a 48yd.FG w/ 1:12 left to play..

    Book it, Dano…..

    (CJ gets 160, 2TD’s)

  40. Raider E Says:

    Norco is right….the games dont matter much bfd….for reals….best moment this preseason was that hit by MM against Seattle. I felt it on the inside…. It was LIVE….

  41. noteasilyimpressed Says:

    I’m hoping Raidsers OLine and backs can pick up blitz; you know they’re gunning for the rookie center.

  42. Raider E Says:

    Figurs will prove you guys wrong. I think he takes one home….

  43. Raider E Says:

    Win or Lose….Raiders will always be a part of me suckas…

    ——————————-
    If that happens, titans will have enough time to get down in FG range and Bironas will tie the game up with a 47 yrd FG with :08 to go

  45. Raider E Says:

    It dont matter who wins, it only matters that you came and you saw….

  46. Macho Man Randy Savage Says:

    Remember the Rob frigin Ryan years when we were ahead late in (very few) games and the fat idiot would go prevent as soon it hit the 5 minute mark? please, no more prevent!

  47. Raider E Says:

    Ask Norco, he is in the front row, with chicken wing sauce dripping from his chin, almost passed out trying to rally around the family, with a pocket full of pills….

  48. iriebuff Says:

    Stopping CJ may be hopeless…just look to contain him. My real hope is that we don’t get gashed by VY too many times on QB scrambles…I still have visions of Elway running on us too many times in his younger days while our DBs have their backs turned in man/man coverage. Hopefully Rolando is quick enough…having Groves at OLB over Scott should help as well.

  49. Raider E Says:

    Shout out Norco!!!! Wats up bleed????

    Someone should put a bone crushing hit on CJ first thing. After the whistle or whatever? who cares? just flatten the kid….see how he responds. Cheating is encouraged….for reals….

    “I guess they really couldn’t find a spot for me,’’ Alford said of the Giants. “They said I’m a pass-rushing d-tackle and they kind of wanted a run-stopping d-tackle.’’
    =====================================================
    Jay Alford is another pass rusher…..Trevor Scott starting at DE….

    Once again, I just hope the Raiders have learned that stopping the run just doesn’t happen on its own. You have to focus on it.

    Seems like more pass rush…there is only one guy on that line that we can say is there to really stop the run….and that’s Houston…the rest of these guys are here to penetrate and get to the QB.

    HOpe it works.

    Yamon Figurs???? Over the rookie, Nick Miller and JLH….who’s got the fastest 40x again?

    Have to admit I am a little concerned about the defense this week

  59. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    IF CJ gets by the front 7….please don’t get upset at Michael Huff if he gets juked in the open field….

    I hope McClain takes personal responsibility for stopping this running game.

    Man…you’d think doing everything to stop the run would come 1st with the idea of trying to force VY to beat you with his arm.

    Looks like the strategy is to force Tennessee to run the ball ~ :(

  60. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Tommy Kelly is the converted DE playing DT

    LaMarr Houston is the converted DT playing DE

    I really hope we see these “different looks” everyone is hoping for.

    Will McClain be able to “do his thing?”

    No prediction on the score….I have no clue on what this team is going to look like this year

    Does DHB have the same curse as TE Ricky Dudley?
    Does DMAC step up?
    Does the Oline keep JC from going to the hospital?
    Does the run D shut down CJ?
    Does ST’s fall apart?
    Does AD change the plan on Friday?

    If not, we win
    Lots of what if’s though.

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

    LOL When Kruk switched from Nutrisystem ads to Dennys ads, I figured he was a lock for a big undrafted free agent contract with the Raiders. The Raiders, after all, are great at “converting” players to positions they’ve never played.

  78. La Milicia Negra Says:

    —”Colts waived/injured LG Tony Ugoh He’s out for the year with what’s believed to either be a dislocated or fractured toe. It’s yet another blow to Peyton Manning’s offensive line, which is in shambles with C Jeff Saturday coming back from knee surgery, ineffective RG Kyle DeVan still starting, and LT Charlie Johnson (foot) on the mend.

  81. Captain Mudslide & the Dingle Berry Posse Says:

    Reece is our lone FB, LMN. Why sign a guy that’s out for the season?

  82. priesttj Says:

    Does Warren Sapp think he’s thje only player that’s ever played in Oakland.? There are tons of players and coaches that coached here but Warren is Mr Know it all. What an idiot. Mariucci was looking at him with utter disgust.

  83. Captain Mudslide & the Dingle Berry Posse Says:

    Pimp Hand, is he that critical of the Raiders? He gives them their due when warranted.

  88. SR Raider Says:

    Raiders 23-20 in OT. Seabass kicks a 50-yard game winner.

  89. Captain Mudslide & the Dingle Berry Posse Says:

    Huff lay the wood? Please do. Dont think i’ve ever seen it in a game that counts.

  90. priesttj Says:

    If Bush plays 30 snaps we have a great chance to win. They cannot tackle him in the 4th qrtr.

  91. KoolKell Says:

    Bush fumble
    Figurs fumble
    Impeccably timed false starts

    Can the Raiders avoid these?

  92. SR Raider Says:

    I’m OK if the Raiders lose this game. Tennessee has been the most difficult place for the Raiders to play, ever. It’s the following 6 game stretch that I’m focused on. We must go at least 4-2 in this stretch:

    Rams, Cards, Texans, Chargers, Niners, Broncos

  93. Bo Schembechler Jackson Says:

    Raiders 24-17 in OT. Arman Shields catches a late bomb from Campbell to end it.

  94. Raider E Says:

    We will actually have 3 DTs in Mr. Seymour, Mr. Kelley, and contender for rookie of the year, Mr. Houston so starting the hybrid Mr. Scott, could work.

    The Raiders signing Mr. Alfred means the raiders are going to activate all DL and LBs (except, Mr. Goethel- injury), there by keeping fresh legs to get after C. Johnson inhis own backfield.

  152. CJ Legend 34 Says:

    It is hard to argue that. I loved both backs and I am glad they were Raiders. Marcus did some great things as well they complimented each other very well. But every time Bo was handed the ball you expected 6 plus yards or more.

    I have seen RBs do what Marcus did but never have I seen a RB with the speed, power and vision of Bo Jackson but I do go by legend #34 so I am biased as all heck. LOL! : )

    But Marcus had the Super Bowl of a life time and he had some nice moves, no doubt!

    remember the spanking they inflicted on the Panthers to end the season 52-9? My Uncle took me to the game and he was so drunk he was passed out in his chair with his head down. Evry time the Raiders scored, without fail or even lifting his head to check out the game he would throw his fist up in acknowledgement…kinda like those cats from the Olympics. Classic.

    funny we have to discuss this each year…

    1st, I believe its a prediction and not a hope chart..

    2nd, guys said 10 wins last year I guessed 5…

    3rd, are you more of a raider fan if you say 10 wins, which obviously wont happen, than if you say 6 wins (as I believe in 2010)???

    4th if it was based on hope, all would say Raiders 166-3, but where is the fun in that?

    5th im going to bed

    Mr. Marcus Allen is the best raider of all-time, one of the top 5-10 runningbacks of all-time. Even the communists of the Soviet Union feared him, that according to one of the top five Presidents of the U.S.A.

    Not one vertical offense guy in there. Poor Al.

  194. RaiderRetribution Says:

    DL:

    Houston, Kelley, Henderson, Seymour, Shaunessey, Scott, Bryant, Alfred (and even Wimbley or Groves from timt to time)

    all 8-10 multiple combinations and looks at the line to converge on Titans’ backfield.

    Vince will go down hard, Johnson will be tackled for a loss at least five times. He will break for only one long one, but not for a TD and not more than twenty yards. In fact one long run even over 50 yds does not bother me as much as him having a dozen or more carries for 5-10 yds each. Stopping those consistent medium runs is more imortant for time of possesion, negate play action, and especially third and short vs third and long.

    What would you rather:

    b) A guy like… say Rock Cartwright who is not flashy but dependable, Has a much lower chance of turning ball over and has proven he can at least get the ball to the 30 yard line.

    I’ll take b anyday until we can get a return man that doesn’t have ball security issues.

    OK, OK, lets give Allen some props as well. Man I hate to see him in a KC uniform. It is still ugly today as it was when I first saw him play. I would pay to find out what made Al throw him to the wolves.

    I don’t understand the problem with T Scott starting at RDE. He is one of our best pass rushers, so the org is trying find ways to keeps him on the field.

    This is not the same DL from last year.
    Seymour is playing DT. Not End.
    Houston is playing LE. Not Ellis.
    Henderson will help against the run. He wasn’t here last year.

    The only stuff we’ve seen from Raiders this year is pre-season, and the only stuff we’ve heard is that they SHOULD be able to do this and that. From the evidence I have SEEN, I can only draw the following conclusions:

    -Still can’t stop the run
    -Special teams stink on coverage, and returns for that matter.
    -WR’s STILL can’t catch
    -Corner (with Routt and CJ) STILL can’t cover.
    -D-Mac still below average at best
    -Screen plays look good.
    -QB is upgraded no matter who is in there.

    As I noted above: STILL a work in progress and a team “finding their way” and maybe getting better every week leading to another 5-11 season with the promise of better things to come.

    That is what I’m hoping. I figure the Titans D will be so focused on Miller, DHB, DMAC, and Murphy that Reece will go undetected coming out of the backfield.

    lol at the notion that vertical means throwing deep all the time.

    The threat of vertical is the premise.

    Can’t go vertical with slow WR’s.

    Stabler threw deep… plenty.

    Raider Len, do you want me to pull up Al’s quotes on what he thinks the vertical game is? Because he’s said clearly that the vertical game means we’re going to go deep no matter what defense we’re facing. That is half hazard football, and has been for decades. And it’s a type of football neither Stabler or Madden subscribed to. Stabler went deep when it was there. If it wasn’t, he worked underneath.

  281. Raider O Says:

    Verticall = stretching the field vertically. The DBs (Ss too) have to cover WRs down field, which creates great opportunities for short passes and a better rushing attack. It created a lot of opportunities, if you have WRs (with Speed), QB with a strong arm (doesn’t have to throw it 60+ yards), a good OL that can block to allow the WRs to stretch the field.

  282. RaiderLen Says:

    RMR, BS. The Raiders have always had the ability to go vertical.

    Because the Raiders value speed. To go vertical.

    Al davis isn’t advocating “vertical” all the time.

    He advocates the threat that He can do it when we pleases’ Because of the SPEED on the outside.

    Fred B, Mike Siani, B Chandler, were not vertical threats, but they played an important role in the Raiders passing attack.

    Art Powell(from what I’m told) Cliff Branch, Rocket, and James Jett were the vertical aspect of the game plan.

    The ability to go deep is what Davis is after.

  297. Just Win Baby Says:

    The vertical threat only works if you have a qb who can not only complete the downfield bomb, but who can also complete the five yard out to the TE or HB. I think this year we have more than one option at QB who can do both. Jamarcuss couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat last year. I’m still giddy about his release. I also think that Jason Campbell will prove not to be the best QB on this team before the end of this season.

  298. kidseven Says:

    Cable interviews are, very seriously, a complete waste of time. He says nothing at all.

  299. kidseven Says:

    IMO, the Raiders need to have dominate performance by someone or some group vs. the Titans. An average game aint gonna cut it. Maybe the DL will be in the backfield all game sacking and disrupting. Or maybe DMAC or Louis Murphy has a true breakout game.

    Getting an early lead is very important.

    Cable is vague and noncommital because that’s how NFL coaches operate with the media. All of them.

    Remember Shanarat at Denver? The guy stood up there and lied through his teeth every time. He even got into trouble with the league office several times for fiddling with the injury report, and he’s REQUIRED to be honest with them. When’s the last time anybody heard anything substantial from Belichik? Watch another team’s coach in an interview some time. Those guys all act like they’re guarding state secrets.

    Is Cable in a unique situation? No doubt, but I wouldn’t read too much into his not being a reliable source of information. None of those guys are.

  322. djohnnyg Says:

    I wonder what All-Pro Steve Atwater would say if you asked him if Bo wasn’t a football player. That is after he laid flat on his back in pain after Bo ran him over during a game in Denver.

    Bo also had 16 touchdowns and caught 40 passes in only 4 half seasons in the NFL before injury cut his football career short.

  323. Norco Bob Says:

    Bo Jackson was easily the best running back the Raiders ever had.

  324. djohnnyg Says:

    Joining the Raiders midway through the 1987 season, Jackson rushed for 554 yards on 81 carries in just seven games. Over the next three seasons, Bo Jackson would rush for 2,228 more yards and 12 touchdowns: a remarkable achievement, in light of the fact that he was a “second string” player behind Marcus Allen.

    Jackson turned in a 221-yard rushing performance on Monday Night Football in 1987 against the Seattle Seahawks. During this game, he ran over Seahawks linebacker Brian Bosworth, who had insulted Jackson and promised in a media event before the game to contain Jackson. He also made a 91-yard run in the 2nd quarter, to the outside, untouched down the sideline. He continued sprinting until finally slowing down as he passed through the entrance to the field tunnel to the dressing rooms with teammates soon following. Jackson scored two rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown in the game

  325. Norco Bob Says:

    Anyone from here want to hook up with me and brian and about 75 other Raider fans,..stop by our tailgate,…all welcome…no snivlin or whining allowed,..so MR or old kell, if you visit, save your crybaby routine for this place. Out…Nation.

    after that take you pick, I’d take Marcus Allen in the top 10 because he was the complete back there was nothing he couldn’t do. But certainly Lenny Moore to Emmitt Smith deserve votes. Including Frank Gifford and Jim Taylor even Marshall Faulk. but IMO 1-7 are backs that transcended the game

    I aint scared either man just, like I said cautiosly optimistic. You’re right though. This is the best thing we could hope for in terms of match ups. Testing our weakest link from last year against the best in the business. At least we will know where we stand in run D after Sunday. I mean, CJ gonna get his yards, no doubt, but if we can come away with the W, then our run D will probably be desent. If we let CJ win it himself, we may just be back in the same boat.

    [...] Oakland Tribune notes that Cable told reporters that Bush "did quite a bit (Wednesday in practice). We’ll see what he feels like [...]

  542. Que Says:

    Is anyone worried about the lack of a true running back since bush is out. Darren is soft and with our line we might not be able to run. Also we might suffer another tough season just because of it. The lack of addressing the line and wideout and running back. Honestly id let darren and bush go. Al is just old and wont take any help in the monitoring of other talent out there. There was some guys we could have used that was let go by other teams. As usual we all will root hard and hope for a miracle that we can win in the trenches! not since gruden we have had that mentality. GO RAIDERS THIS SUNDAY

  543. NoMoreFargas Says:

    NoMoreFargas when I read this it was as though you could read my mind for the last two decades. How about Nick Bell and Roger Craig the year after he was hurt. LMAO!!! Than Al goes and gets Harvey Williams from KC like he is paying them back for the Marcus Allen trade.

    Garner was small but he knew how to run from North to South. Wheately always got hurt for his style of high running. Played aginst him in HS he was the same way. Amazing talent from MI but it was always that one high hit that would take him out.

    Bo was amazing and probaly would have been the greatest barring bad hips.

    Sanders was the best I ever saw. He was unreal.
    5′8″ and under 200? I would not be suprised if he was closer to 5′7 and played at about 190.

    It pains me to say.

    Not sure why everyone is predicting 20+ points for Oakland this week. I just don’t see that happening with the offense the way it is. With Bush injury, there is no way Cable will play him. Wide Outs are not ready to score against first string defenders.

    Once Tenn gets a lead, they will just run the ball, so no chance for a Pick Six. Slow death for the run defense.

    –Sorry Guys

    Tenn 30 Oakland 10

    good morning,

    It’s not sunday yet is it?

  590. Stabler76 Says:

    I dont think the run-D will be figured out this weekend.

    But when it does (get figured out) we can be competitive. We have the best punter ever, if the D gets very strong we could win a lot of low scoring field position games, while the offense develops.

  591. hwnrdr Says:

    I think we are either going to be better than we thought…or we’re the same ol’ team on the road losing by 20+! Here’s hoping for some positive outlook on Sunday…win or lose!

  592. Dakota Says:

    8-7-10
    Raiders HQ:

    Al Davis: We are here to discuss the defensive scheme against the Oilers. Jim Marshall, who do you think should start at RDE?

    Marshall: Matt Shaughnessy, he is better against the run and I think the key to winning against the Titans is stopping their running game and making Vince Young…

    Al Davis: Wrong! We are starting Tavian Scott! Victor Young must go down and he must go down hard!

    Marshall: With all due respect Mr. Davis, I don’t believe the Titans will come out throwing the ball, they tend to rely on the running game to set up the pass…

    Al Davis: Jack, you need to be quiet now and stop embarrassing yourself. Did you watch the national championship game? Vivian Young is unstoppable! Ernie Mangina watched that game and so did I! The key to victory is this week against the Oilers is stopping the great Vitto Young! Herrera, put this change on Tim Cable’s talking memo for the media. Give him something to do. Now, about these blitzes…

  593. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Stabler76: I don’t blame you for being overly cautious about the offense, or even skeptical. They do have much to prove and I think they’ll do just that …

    Cable to Jackson as play caller
    Russell to Campbell as QB

    those are the 2 biggest moves this offseason!

    couple those with 2 new starters on the O-Line and the development of Darrius Heyward-Bey

    24 points against a weak Titans Defense is a real possibility imo

  594. BART Bridge Blues Says:

    Scott starting at DE is a very bad sign, hopefully this is just smoke and mirrors, but it smacks of an Al Davis Mandate. Scott was awful playing on the line during the pre-season; out of position, overpowered, unsure tackling. He is the next Chris Clemons, can’t Al just accept that and let it be.

    Just when we all thought Al had finally learned to get out of his own way, here he comes to crash the party with mandates for all of his scholarship guys…

    Al is getting dangerously close to ruining this season for me, before it has even begun. The first time I see Scott playing at RDE on an obvious run down and CJ runs right over/past/around him, my foot goes through the TV.

  595. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Darren McFadden, Robert Gallery & Zach Miller are 100 percent healthy.

    Murphy has been working on route running with JCamp after practices. this caused a Russell INT last year in WK1

    Higgins won’t be shell shocked against the Titans, like he was in WK1 last year when JaWalrus hung him out to dry.

    Raiders have scrapped the prevent defense since the loss against SD in WK1 last year. Thanks Marshall!

    John Henderson should play 15-25 snaps

    Scott played at linebacker exclusively this preseason

  603. r8eray Says:

    Does anyone know what our defense allowed against Adrian Peterson last year?

  604. BART Bridge Blues Says:

    Scott played exclusively at DE in the Seahawks game, and it was not pretty.

  605. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Scott is up against the Titans LT. he’s a pass rusher, so this makes sense. They want to crush VY, hit him in the blind side

    Young wont have 30 pass attempts, but when he does drop back … expect long runs up the gut from him courtesy of an amazing pass rush and a weak interior D-Line

    Houston will take on the mauler RT and probably a TE

    Seymour will be doubled and Kelly will have a chance to showcase his improvement this offseason (or lack there of)

    you’ll have Groves & Scott on 1 side of the field (weak side) and Houston & Wimbley on the other – expect the Titans to test this weak side early & often. McClain, Huff & Branch better to ready to help out!

  606. Carl Weathers Says:

    There is no reason for Scott to start at DE other than Big Al saying so. I like Scott coming in on passing downs from DE or where he excelled, OLB.

    Figurs did exactly what you don’t want your return amn to do, put the ball on the ground, and he won the starting job!?

    I agree with BBB, it’s getting close to gameday and it smells like that fuggin Al just can’t keep his hands off, can’t let HIS coaches COACH!

  608. RaiderRockstar Says:

    whats with all the doom & gloom?

    do you guys really expect Matt ShoNasty to sit on the bench all game long?

    Matt & Trevor can both get after the QB and ShoNasty is the better run defender. he’ll get his snaps in the rotation, as will big John Henderson – maybe even Alford!

    I hope Desmond Bryant & Thomas Howard are inactive – i’m not a fan

  609. BART Bridge Blues Says:

    and Yamon “Saboteur” Figurs as our return man for kicks and punts, WTF? We will lose the Titans game because of Special Teams, specifically the coverage team will be their usual awful selves and Figurs is gonna put at least one ball on the ground.

    The only thing keeping me positive is that Figurs will be riding the pine by Week 2.

  610. ddwight Says:

    Uncle Alzheimer has his hand in this Yamon Figurs situation..Ive been a Raider fan to long to think any different, this has the smell of Alz making decisions on the field,but what can i say i am hooked on rooting for the Raiders, once-upon-a-time he had 1 of the greatest football-minds, but now (mad-scientists)madness is taking over him.

  611. Carl Weathers Says:

    do you guys really expect Matt ShoNasty to sit on the bench all game long?
    ———————————–
    I’m sure he’ll be in the game but why not come out and say – Shonasty is the starter and Scott will be back at RDE on passing downs as we try to get the best 11 men on the field.

    By annointing Scott starter it just seems like the same ol situation, same shti different year.

  612. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Figurs wont do anything special or awful this game imo

    20 yard kick returns, 5 yard punt returns or fair catches

    the ultimate non-factor

  613. r8eray Says:

    On obvious running downs, the Raiders should avoid twists and stunts. Just assign every defender a gap and blitz those gaps straight ahead. Twisting and stunting can, and will result in gaping holes. This would be devastating.

  614. BigTed707 Says:

    Ya Mon! Gwanna run one to de’ house Mon! Eye-Ree!

  615. r8eray Says:

    The Raiders must force Vince Young to pass against the Raiders’ great secondary to win. Young is a great young QB, but he’s not Johnson. I’ll take my chances.

  616. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Houston will be doubled and Scott will be singled up against the LT and he’s a very good pass rusher. Michael Roos has a bum knee, so maybe TScott is the better matchup for this week ???

  621. BART Bridge Blues Says:

    there is no other conclusion that can be gleaned from Scott STARTING then uncle Al getting involved.

    Scott was the starter last year at DE, but got beat out by Shaugnessy by the end of the season. Suddenly Scott was ordained as the starter at OLB, despite never playing LB at any level. And once again he got beat out be someone else (Groves) by the end of the pre-season. Suddenly he is playing one game against scrubs in Seattle at DE again and voila he is back starting at DE.

    It is the culmination of all these little decisions that cause the downfall of a team. By itself, it seems like just a matter of semantics; “Scott is the starter, but they will both see playing time.” But add that with the Figurs move, the DHB stubborness, the lack of a veteran on the WR corps, the lack of depth in the RB groups, and you get a team that realizes who is in control and that winning will never be his first priority. You think Quentin Groves would rather be playing behind Matt Shaugnessy, or the guy he just whooped at WOLB. These are all the little moves that successful GM’s and coaches make year round to keep a team healthy, hungry and in the best position to win. The losing attitude of this team over the last 7 years has transferred from one roster turnover to the next, because it has always permeated from the top. Al get your old azz out of the kitchen!

  622. exlaraiderseasonticketholder Says:

    Raider’s get some love from Mike Florio at PFT:

    Raiders at Titans

    Florio’s take: The Raiders quietly have inspired hope and optimism in Oakland, with Jason Campbell at quarterback and a defense that gradually is improving. With Chris Johnson, the Titans have the best non-quarterback in the league. But the question is whether the Titans’ quarterback can continue the latest uptick to his career. Vince Young’s plunge started two years ago on this same weekend in Nashville during a sluggish performance against the Jaguars. If Young can’t move the offense against a defense that will be obsessed with stopping Johnson, Young will hear the boos again, and the wheels could fly off faster than anyone had imagined.

    Florio’s pick: Raiders 17, Titans 10.

  623. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Scott was the starter last year at DE, but got beat out by Shaugnessy by the end of the season.

    ***

    BBB: thats not how I remember it!

    Scott moved to WLB because Thomas Howard straight up stank

    ShoNasty to DE was more of a reflection on old man Ellis and Scott moving to WLB

    Scott wasn’t “beat out” by anybody last year

  625. r8eray Says:

    Florio is actually giving the Raiders love? He picked us to win?
    The only logical explanation to this is that he jumping on the bandwagon, cause he don’t wanna get left behind!

  626. BART Bridge Blues Says:

    they wouldnt have moved Scott to WLB if he was having tons of success playing with his hand in the dirts. Perhaps I am being a bit biased, becuase Scott on the line makes my skin crawl, but I watch the games, and am not a kool-aid drinking fool; Shaugnessy is a better defender than Trevor Scott! Scott is good for one thing and one thing only, and that is Al’s #1 obsession, getting to the QB from the line.

  627. bcz24 Says:

    Schefter has us winning? Florio too… this is absurd. I liked us as the underdog… we are going to lose by 40 now.

    scott starting is more of giving the opponent a diffrent look. I would say shaug will get the majority of the snaps. Its not about who starts. Scott could be in one play, and out the next 3…

    It appears the coaches are not just looking at having a solid rotation. You will notice we have depth, but depth that can play on sunday, and make contrubtions now. Moreover, Having depth in the rotation will ensure that players wont be so worn down during crunch time 4th qtr.

    Down and distance, we have several dline players that can play several positions, example of HOUSTON playing both end postions as he did in the 9er game, he can also slide inside. That said we have a lot of moving parts, the down and distance will dictate the who’s playing where and what.

    Who draws the double??? I asked the question yesterday, very telling. HOUSTON SEY SHAUG, as an example all command the double.

    Bottom line is, we have an improved defense that will cause problems for other teams, expect to see a top 10 defense this year, I say top 7….

    Scott is going to get abused by the Titans O-line. Out on that edge; Seymour, Kelly and Houston can’t help him, if he is truly the starter that means he has to balance his pash-rush duties with his obligation to hold the edge. I have never seen Trevor Scott hold an edge, and do you know what it means when a Right D-lineman cant hold the edge in a 4-3? It means the left tackle will direct a weak Scott inside and contol him, while a pulling left gaurd pounces on Quentin Groves at the second level, then Chris Johnson will have a full head of steam when he gets outside and there will only be one person left to stop him…Michael Huff, and we all know how that story ends.

    but I think Scott is the better pass rusher and ShoNasty is the better OVERALL player – both may end up with equal snaps on Sunday

    we’ve seen games where a team has 2 decent RB’s (example: Bush starts the game and has 12 carries, but McFadden ends up with 15 carries) no big deal

    I can see titans running at scott, he is a pass rush specialist. second level should consist of hitters, and tacklers. i would hope to see mitchell and branch in on run situations, having 8 in the box will cut down on running lanes however you are right if I am game planning we run right at scott…

    BBB,

    I agree, Scott can’t hold the edge. He is a Pass Rusher. Period!
    He may start, but Matt can rotate with him & Houston to keep the DEs fresh, and try to confuse the Titans’ offense.

  650. BART Bridge Blues Says:

    Carl Weathers gets it…Scott is a liability aganist the run, so it is downright crazy to start him. A rusher that comes in on 3rd and long or takes some snaps as an OLB once in awhile would be awesome, but starting at DE implies playing on 1st and 10, and that is when CJ2K runs behind his LT and pulling LG.

    Not to mention the damage to the psyche of a defense that was starting to feel good about themselves. You think these guys are idiots, you think Groves is happy about his back-up playing the position directly in front of him. You think Shaugnessy felt that Scott was the “best player”, I dont even think Scott believes that.

    ======================================================
    This right hear properly documents my concerns about this move.

    Scott SHOULD not be playing over Shaughnessy. Shaughnessy is closer to a complete DE. He plays the run well and has the motor to generate sacks.

    Scott should be on the field, but in more situational roles. Especially subbing for Houston or playing Nickle backer on passing downs.

    Raiders are dogged determined to get to the QB.

    Trouble is..teams don’t throw much on Oakland when all you have to do is prime the pump on the ground and be assured of a steady YPC avg and a couple of really long game busting runs

    Lets see what happens

    no we’re implying that certain players have hurt feelings over coaches decisions?

    these guys aren’t diva WR’s demanding the ball man. they are line grunts and as long as they’re getting a fair amount of snaps per game, they’ll be satisfied. Scott has lead the team in sacks the past 2 years, alright? He’s not garbage. If we win the game and TScott has 2 or more sacks you’ll shut your mouth … and realize that the coaches know these players strengths & weaknesses better than we do and how to utilize them in real game situations

  664. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Rockstar,

    You and I think a like on a lot of important issues.

    I hope you are right about the rotation action and situational football.

    Sometimes the Raiders have a tendancy to forget about players who are initially in the plan.

    McClain will be the guy jogging over to jump on the pile after Tvon Branch has finally brought CJ down 15 yards from the line of scrimmage.

    ***

    LOL!

    Exactly. so how was drafting McClain in the Top 10 a solution to the run defense?

  668. exlaraiderseasonticketholder Says:

    9/11 has a double meaning for Raider fans. On September 11, 1991, Al Davis announced a new deal to stay in L.A. leading many fans in Oakland to burn their newly purchased Oakland Raiders paraphernalia in disgust. This was after he had on March 11, 1991 announced his intention to move back to Oakland, but the polititians did not finish the deal.

  669. Thec07 Says:

    Shaug is clearly the best player between the two. I beleive if this was the raiders true intent, they would not have put it out in the manner they did. Scott is a pass rusher that is suseptible to being ran at. I think we have enough footage on him to determine that. We know it, and the org knows it. I think this is part of the pre game chess match.

    if in fact you want to stop the run you do it by putting your best run defenders and tacklers on the field.

    CJ will see 8 in te box on sunday

  670. Thec07 Says:

    The Raiders should SELL OUT stopping the run. If they get beat in the air..so be it.

    +++++++++++
    agreed…

    Until proven VY will be staring at 8 or 9 in the box…

  671. RaiderRockstar Says:

    S&B: I don’t see ShoNasty on the bench very long if Scott is getting crushed on running plays

    and I don’t see Scott starting over Shaughnessy being like Fargas over Bush.

    Scott produces sacks. what did Fargas produce?

    he was an injury prone crash test dummy with no vision that produced 3.4 ypc and almost no TD’s – probably wasn’t the best guy to “mentor” McFadden!

  672. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Maybe the Raiders want the Titans to game plan for Trevor Scott against former Pro Bowl LT Roos, but after the first snap here comes ShoNasty to throw a wrench in their plans ???

    Cable isn’t opposed to a little trickery or withholding of info from other teams or the media

    *Goethel & McFadden are injured*

    shut down CJ2K = Raider win by at least 2 TD’s

    limit CJ2K & shut down VY = Raiders win by 7-10 points

  700. The Big Banana Says:

    RR – the 24 points in my prediction are aided by a key Raider turnover or two deep in our own territory. We have a rookie handling kickoffs/punts in his first real NFL game, on the road. The same guy that mishandled 2 of them in preseason.

    Then, we have a rookie starting C and Bush isn’t playing. Man, I’m hopeful for this year and I hope I’m wrong about this game but I just don’t see it. I’m predicting growing pains to start the season, especially on the road. Hope I’m wrong.

    Veldheer at C and Walker at RT. Those two have enough beef to hide Carlisle. I think we should be able to run the ball.

    I like our WRs. DHBeast, Murphy, JLH, and Ford should be able to do some damage. Especially with the Titans having to adjust to our running game.

    I like DMac against their LBs and Ss

    I like our QB situation A LOT.

    Love our secondary, but our front 7 may take a few games to get themselves together.

    No prediction for a final score anymore. Backing off my 27-17 Raiders win with T Scott at DE.

    ——————————————————-

    On 3rd downs or 2nd and long, I can maybe see that.

    But as a base formation, T Scott standing up with Kelly and Seymour in the middle makes no sense. I hope they save that for Seymour at DE with Kelly and Henderson at DT.

    I do believe that we will see Sho Nasty. Just hope it’s not on the left side. Just and idiotic decision to me to go with Scott IMO.

But we don’t need no hope. Y’all can keep your hope because we’ve got enough hope over here. We’re packing our bags, and we’re not packing our bags to come play water polo. We’re packing our bags to come play football.”
    “We’re talking about the Jets like we’re talking about the Saints,” he said, according to the Neward Star-Ledger. “Those are the only people that can be dethroned: Drew Brees and the Saints. Not Mark Sanchez and the Jets.”

    Very!

    Remember I always thought our weakness in the front 7 were the DEs. I can not get last preseason out of my mind for Scott. How do we have a 240 lb guy playing DE? He was just a LB last week man!

    The best thing I thought we had going for our DL was the strength and size from end to end. ShoNasty at 275 instead of 240lb Trevor Scott coaches!!!!!

  736. RaiderRockstar Says:

    the Raiders have had the ENTIRE offseason to prepare for this game and watch all the CJ2K highlights from last year. former Jags on D, Henderson & Groves played against him 4x in the last 2 seasons

    You don’t want to sign Grove?

    ——————————————————

    Did Miami really cut him?

    I liked J Grove. Just grew tired of him being frickin hurt all the time.

    I’d take him over Satele as a backup!

  745. Raider O Says:

    TW,

    Dude, get a blue card, so you can park closer. You need it!

  746. J Hill Says:

    6′5″ 256 lbs

    —————————————————–

    WTF was he doing at OLB ????

    256 is STILL way too small for the NFL DLine. Not like he has some elite speed burst like the kid from Indy.

  747. PurpleDrank81 Says:

    Yea I was going to start Deangelo Williams but I didnt know how the Titans run defense was…..I had to pick up Mcfadden with my last pick

    J,

    I like Grove at C, Walker at RG, and let Barns/ Veldheer/ Campbell compete for RT.

    they lost Kyle Vanden Bosch, Jevon Kearse, Keith Bulluck & Nick Harper this last offseason

    Thats alot of ppl to lose

  752. inonewordraider Says:

    Nick Miller should handle KR duties (until Ford seizes the job), JLH should handle PR duties, Figurs should be cut for along with Cartwright and we should add a RB and another player we could make use of because these guys are useless to us, Scott is a pass rusher period he’ll get blown up on run plays

  753. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Scott also had 32 reps on the bench at the combine or Pro Day – same as Bruce Campbell

    yeah, and they lost Fat Albert the year before!

    ouch.

    LOL!

    Funny thing is, wasn’t this guy a TE before we got our hands on him?

    Why not just let him go back there and compete with Meyers?

    4.2 ????

    We should exclusively run the 2 TE set, lol.

    12 sacks the past 2 years (more than anybody else)

    nobody says how many snaps Scott or ShoNasty will get in the actual game come Sunday …

    anything else ???

  758. DT42 Says:

    JHill

    I don’t feel good about Scott over Sho Nasty at all. I hope that its not a health issue. Just hope a flex will confuse VY into dialing up the wrong plays and calling time outs.

  759. J Hill Says:

    O,

    Campbell is not ready to be on the edge man. He took a few steps backwards IMO in the last game. He was lookinh good the first 3 games, but he would make me really nervous at OT right now.

  760. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Jhill: Scott played both DE & TE at Buffalo (college)

  761. fat kidd Says:

    Tom Brady was involved in a car accident Thursday morning, but was not hospitalized and told the Patriots he was OK, the team confirmed in an announcement.

    Brady did not speak to reporters, though he did take part in the walkthrough prior to practice. Boston Herald beat writer Ian R. Rapoport said that Brady participated in the full practice Thursday afternoon as expected.

    “He’s here, he’s ready to go,” Patriots tight end Alge Crumpler said after the walkthrough.

  762. Raider O Says:

    RR,

    Scott doesn’t run a 4.2 40.

    I have to prepare for school. Later Gents.

    Dolphins admit costly mistake in Jake Grove
    Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 9, 2010 12:15 PM ET
    In one of Dolphins G.M. Jeff Ireland’s first days as the official boss in Miami, he admitted one of his and Bill Parcells’ biggest mistakes.

    Miami cut center Jake Grove on Thursday, just one year after the signed him to a five-year, $29.5 million contract with $14 million guaranteed. It goes down as one of the worst signings by any team in the last few years.

    The Dolphins have really struggled to settle their interior offensive line throughout the Ireland/Parcells era, especially at center. The team signed another former Cowboy Cory Procter to take his place. Joe Berger is the team’s starter.

    It would make sense if the Raiders were interested in bringing Grove back into the mix.

  764. DMAC Says:

    Fk Tom Brady!!!

  765. J Hill Says:

    anything else ???

    ——————————————————-

    wht was that 40 time again?

    how many reps?

    Most importantly, we are not entering the combine this weekend!

    I need to know how he’s improved his holding the edge game since he’s been working out at LB the past 8 mos?

  766. J Hill Says:

    Robert Mathis is 6′2 240!

    ——————————————————

    who ?????

  767. DMAC Says:

    Whats all these worries about Scott. He’ll be fine and he’ll share the same amount of reps w/ ShoNasty. Lets just be glad he’s not a LB no more.

  768. BART Bridge Blues Says:

    Scott is a beast rushing the passer, nobody here will deny that, but Al has been too enamored lately with nickel pass rushers trying to play full time at DE (Burgess, Chris Clemmons), to make me comfortable about the announcement that Scott has suddenly leap-frogged Shaugnessy on the depth chart. Cable and Co. were raving about Shaugnessy all off-season, but at the last second after sitting him like a starter during the Seahawks practice, they promote Scott. Stinks like Ben-Gay, and I aint buying what Cable or Al is selling.

  769. RaiderRockstar Says:

    I need to know how he’s improved his holding the edge game since he’s been working out at LB the past 8 mos?

    ***

    we’ll find out. I expect JFB’s boy ROMAC to clean up the mess if TScott gets taken out of the play!

  770. J Hill Says:

    Al drafted Sho Nasty so I don’t think this T Scott thing is an Al directive.

  771. Raider O Says:

    J,

    WTH are you smoking?!

    PB DE Robert Mathis. COLTS.

  772. BART Bridge Blues Says:

    Am I tripping or did Jerry say that Veldheer played quite a bit of Center in college and high school, how did all of the semi-pros miss that little tidbit of information? This move makes a lot more sense, if Veldheer has actually played the position in a game before. Even if it was at the D-II level, the calls, responsibilities and diagnosis should be about the same, just faster.

    I just hope the blitzes by Willis were the exception not the rule.

    Indeed. Al even reached to get Shaughnessy in the 3rd round. If we’re going to believe that draft status is all that matters to Al (the Mike Mitchell thing, for instance), then why bench Shaughnessy?

    Both players (Scott and Shaughnessy) will be on the field plenty. Everyone needs to relax.

  781. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    My friend really wants Jermichael Finley.

    Thoughts?

  782. RaiderRockstar Says:

    I don’t need to make trades in FF. I always draft well :)

    then if a player gets hurt I find somebody in the FA pool good enough to get it done

  783. bcz24 Says:

    I just bet him $1000 cash that Orton would outperform Derek Anderson and he wouldnt do it… so obviously he knows Kyle Orton is better than the White Jamarcus Russell

    ***

    thats fair. Greene will lose some carries to LT and Finley is on his way to a breakout year

    Forsett will split carries with Jones & Washington. expect more of the same from Carlson (inconsistant) great one week, invisable the next

  786. J Hill Says:

    Damn Bcz24,

    I can’t at least get to week 3?

    LOL!

    I certainly wasn’t perpared for the pop quiz.

    Right now, I don’t think I can name 2 starters from Tenn’s defense.

  787. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    I was unhappy with my draft at first because the person before me TWICE took the player I was targeting. But the more I look at it, the happier I am with how I did considering. I just wish I had a better #2 RB. But even Forsett is a starter.

  788. RaiderRockstar Says:

    I don’t think I can name 2 starters from Tenn’s defense.

  794. BART Bridge Blues Says:

    Do you really believe that Al hand-picked a technically sound, but not physically impressive Matt Shaugnessy?

    There is a difference between players selected by the Raiders organization in the draft, and players selected by Al for scholarship. Just check their workout results, if you aren’t sure. It isnt so black and white, I know, but you can see the pattern in their drafting for sure.

    McClain-Al giving in to the coaching staff
    Houston-Al giving in to the coaching staff
    Veldheer-workout warrior
    Campbell-workout warrior
    Ford-fastest 40 time at the combine, hmmm?
    McFadden-Al selects all DB’s
    Goethel-coaching staff
    Ware-Al selects all DB’s
    Brown-Al selects all DB’s

    DHB-do I even need to say it
    Mitchell-we have heard how much the coaches like him
    Shaugnessy-coaching staff
    Murphy-one of the fastest WR’s at the combine
    Slade Norris-who cares
    Stryker Sulak-who cares
    Brandon Meyers-coaching staff

    DMC-2nd fastest RB at the combine
    Tyvon Branch-workout warrior and DB
    Arman Shields-major workout warrior
    Trevor Scott-workout warrior
    Chaz Schilens-workout warrior
    (Note how Al drafted during his little spat with Kiffin)

    JaMarcus Russell-”he is a great player, get over it”
    Zach Miller-all coaching staff
    Quentin Moses-workout warrior
    Mario Henderson-sadly, this was Cable
    JLH-workout warrior
    Michael Bush-coaching staff, since he didnt workout, Al couldnt have possibly known about him.
    John Bowie-duh
    Jay Richardson-coaching staff
    Eric Frampton-coaching staff
    Oren O’Neal-coaching staff
    Jonathan Holland-workout warrior

  795. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    TCMA:

    Pats have 3 very good TE’s

    wonder who’ll be the go-to guy ???

    —————–

    Yeah, this is true. Didn’t they pick up Scaife, too?

    Gronkowski was a popular target in the preseason and the Pats coaching staff seems to like him, but they DO have a lot of options at TE.

    I really like Aaron Hernandez. Kid’s a good player.

  796. bcz24 Says:

    TCMA… Pats picked up Crumpler. Scaife is still Ten’s starter

  797. BART Bridge Blues Says:

    I’m still bummed the Raiders didnt pick up Bear Pascoe, that dude could block circles around Brandon Meyers (probably has better hands to)…and a Fresno State guy named “Bear” just belongs on the Raiders.

  798. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

    Right, I knew it was one of those guys.

    Crumpler is more of a blocking TE anyway, as far as I can recall. Gronkowski was a late round gamble, but I’m sure he’ll work out better than my last late round gamble (Chaz…).

  799. TheyCallMeAssassin Says:

  805. guest123 Says:

    Preparing for the season opener at Tennessee, I got to tell you guys that I think we are overmatched going into this one. The two big question marks for us going into the preseason were: 1) could we stop the run, and 2) could our offensive line protect the QB and open holes for the running game. The preseason did not sucessfully answer the doubts. The grade I give them is incomplete at best on both counts.

    Our run defense mostly stops the 7 and 8 yard gashing runs, but we continue to allow the big play, and unfortunately big plays also count. There has been improvement but not nearly enough to stop the league’s best runner in Chris Johnson.

    Our offensive line showed improvement compared to last year, as the pass protection has been at least satisfactory, and maybe some of that is the good mobility shown in the pocket by both Campbell and Gradkowski. But the run blocking has been inconsistent and erratic at times. It’s hard to judge that part when the first team comes off the field in preseason in the 2nd quarter. It would be nice to see the starters play 4 quarters. We’ll see soon enough.

    Incremental improvement aside, I am less than encouraged by the progress made by the offensive line. Langston Walker is already banged up, who knows how long he’ll last into the season? Our prize Adonis RG Bruce Campbell has been really raw at times and in the last game had back to back penalties. He’s just not ready for the show yet. Jared Veldheer has been a bright spot as our new starting center, but I would expect a learning curve, and he needs to play lower to the ground. LT Mario Henderson has been capable, but gets beaten by elite speed rushers, and so the QB’s know they have about 2 to 2.5 seconds to make a read and decide to throw or scramble. I see our great strength here being the play calling of our new OC Hue Jackson. With the correct calls, when things are going well, you see the line push ahead and swallow the opposing push.

    Another huge concern is special teams coach John Fassel, who has consistently gotten his squad beat on long returns while our own kick and punt return team led by our erratic Yamon Figurs, has been really, really spotty, and that’s putting it gently. In an ideal world, rookie Jacoby Ford and his 4.24 speed would be our PK/KR but he’s been felled by a quad injury.

    Inevitably, the Raiders inability to stop the superior Titan’s O-Line and the best running back in football, Chris Johnson….coupled with spotty special teams play, will in my opinion put the Raiders with their backs to the wall early. I see this team showing some early intensity, but ultimately Coach Jeff Fisher will solve the strategy for attacking the Raiders front, and eventually CJ24 will hit the big play establishing an early lead.

    Whatever happens, I think the football world will take notice of the Raiders this weekend as a team on the rise…. and I think as this team gels, they will, at the end of the year (with a healthy Bush and Schilens) be a force that will be able to beat a team like Tennessee under different circumstances, (playoffs).

    Again, I so want to be wrong about this weekend. Go Raiders!

    1. Not having Seymour in the game makes a HUGE difference. Seymour Shaug Houston all command the double. If you double on 2 of our dline guys LBs will be free and you wont see a C. G. T pulling and smashing into McClain…. also of note, John Henderson, should be in the game on running downs.

    2. what I saw contrary to some professional bloggers and personalities is that, the pocket looked great with velldheer playing. We had a real pocket and the QB had time to throw.

    Yes the pocket looked better than say, last year, but the fact remains that Campbell got knocked out of the game. I think our O-Line has been upgraded to average. And there will be days where average just simply isn’t good enough. O-Line and Special Teams are our achilles heels as of now

    yes, workout warriors=excellent combine or pro-day results, regardless of whether they had good or bad production in college. JLH was a prolific reciever at UTEP, but he also ran a 4.3 at his pro day and was top 5 in the short shuttle at the combine.

    As for Henderson, maybe that was an Al pick, I honestly dont know how Cable picks lineman, other than he likes guys that have washed out on other teams. The point is, that for the most part, we know who is an Al pick and who is a coach pick, there are some gray areas to be sure, but you will never convince me that coaches who have self preservation instincts would have selected or promoted the selections of Russell, DHB, Janikowski, Mitchell, etc.

    Raiders would not, should not, and will not cut their pro-bowl long snapper.

    Mr. Condo might be traded, but you do not cut the best in the business, when their is a demand for him. He is the key to why we have a consistent punter and FG kicker.

    That and he is always down field on punt returns many times even before the gunners. Our punt coverage would be even worse without him. Do you really think Mr. Alfrod at 304 lbs will get down the field as quicly as Condo?

    The Oakland Raiders worked out free-agent defensive end Bobby McCray on Wednesday, according to a league source.

    McCray played in all 32 regular-season games after joining the Saints as an unrestricted free agent in 2008, registering 7.5 sacks. The six-year veteran has 29.5 career sacks with eight forced fumbles and one fumble recovery for the Saints and Jacksonville Jaguars.

  904. BART Bridge Blues Says:

    No worries, I wanted to clarify, because the term “workout warrior” gets tossed around a lot on here. But its not always about 40 times, its the mythical “guys that look good getting off the bus” as well. Al just does not select players like McClain, who is known for being more cerebral, Al likes guys that are bigger, stronger and especially faster. Not that either drafting method is better than the other, it just continues to be a problem when Al forces scholarship roster spots and starting spots on this team. DHB may be a decent player in three years, but he didnt belong on the field as a starter last season.

  905. PurpleDrank81 Says:

    JHILL who do you have on your FFBL?

  906. bcz24 Says:

    No worries JHill… Im just sick of the BLAME CONDO movement in here… Hes a pro bowl player and assures that the best punter in the game doesnt get mutilated chasing down poor snaps. Either way we WILL have a LS on the squad, why not have the best?

    I’m not blaming Condo for anything. I’m not saying he’s a bad LS. I just don’t think it’s too much to ask a PB player (don’t care what team he is on) to be able to something more than snapping the ball.

    Look, I may bandwagon the Condo stuff from time to time, but it’s hardly a top my whine and cheese list. Right now, I have my sights set on Trevor Scott, lol.

    I think the whole workout warrior thing gets a bit over blown. Before DHB, the “fastest guy in the combine” wouldn’t come to us until round 4 or 5.

    Anybody who denies Al Davis drafts size & speed first, doesn’t know much about the Raiders.

    Go ahead… Ill wait.

    You’re killing me man.

    I couldn’t even tell you who Robert Mathis was, and you want me to give you some LS info?

    for real? i think most NFL fans here in DK know Robert Mathis…

    We have plenty of dead weight on this roster, the last thing we need to worry about is a pro-bowler.

    ***

    Agreed

    Figurs, NMiller, Bryant, Howard, RBrown, Williams & Eugene are all guys we can afford to lose imo

  924. Thec07 Says:

    We have to win the turn over battle. Cant afford to have Figgs dropping one. If he does he should be cut on monday.

  925. J Hill Says:

    Condo made like half of the ST tackles in the practice season,

    ——————————————————-

    Should be able to play on KO team and at LEAST be the #6 LB.

    Why the heck can’t the backup C snap the ball.

    That is a Nice squad…Make mine look amatuer but then again when it comes to FFBL I’am amatuer..

    Besides chris johnson the titans dont have nobody on their team thats anygood. Theyre wr are worse then ours. Even if they had a good wr vince young is their qb…Raiders 21 titans 7!!!!

  928. Thec07 Says:

    Jhill, did you have a choice between matthews, and Spiler?

  929. J Hill Says:

    I see some of you want to take the Mathis thing and run with it.

    This will be my first post after we beat up on Indy this season ….

    Mathis = who ????

  930. Thec07 Says:

    Our first team defense has been very stout in the RedZ.

  931. J Hill Says:

    Yup …

    Went with Matthews.

    No worries JHill… Im just sick of the BLAME CONDO movement in here… Hes a pro bowl player and assures that the best punter in the game doesnt get mutilated chasing down poor snaps. Either way we WILL have a LS on the squad, why not have the best?

    Finally some support, I have said this for a long time, and guys like BSJ keeps blaming Condo, as if we got rid of him we actually would be a PO team, LOL…
    There are 3 specialist on a 53 roster, and Condo is one of them… if you have the highest paid kicker and punter you better have some quality player to serve them..
