Status quo for injuries
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010 at 1:01 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Linebacker Travis Goethel, cornerback Walter McFadden and wide receiver Chaz Schilens were not present for warmups and drills for the media window of the Raiders practice Wednesday.
Running back Michael Bush had his left hand and thumb protected with a wrap that seemed bigger in size than the one he used the previous day. When running backs and defenders were going through a deflection drill, tipping the ball in the air for the purpose of players to practice catching interceptions, Bush went through the line but did not participate.
The drill portion was heavy with regard to turnovers, with defenders practicing picking up fumbles on the run.
More to come later . . .

B,
Holla at me when you tie the knot. And save the macho BS, you WILL get married. You’re a solid cat that has a lot to offer. Can’t see you staying by yourself past 30. Someone will be holding back at your wedding like you were at your cousins. You’re getting a lot of things outta your system now, and you’ll be ready soon enough.
Stop fighting it!
Now back to me, wifey works 12 hour days, and has 2 kids under 6. How is she going to raise those kids and keep the house clean leaving at 5:30 am and not getting home until 7:30.
Not realistic.
Not sure how that ties into my political views though.

You KNOW I live a blessed life mayne.
No complaints here.
September 8th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
Well why you ribbing me than?
Seemed like a blanket “LOL” to all married men.
September 8th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
I doubt if Brien sees beezies who have wife potential…

Kiffin has been gone for 2 year and he’s still a huge topic amongst Raider fans, his mere name causes chaos. Meanwhile, you can bring up the Raiders around Kiffin and his people and they just chuckle. You tell me who came out on top.
September 8th, 2010 at 1:44 pm

Only because he set the franchise back years. Still, Al was a man and took credit for that mistake.
September 8th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Lane went from coaching an NFL team, to coaching a college team on probation.
Don’t know how that equates to coming out on top.
September 8th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Lane Kiffin was a bright young mind
an X’s and O’s guy
decided to take the money and coach in Oakland instead of being #3 at USC. used it to make more money as HC at TN and now HC at USC
guy might get the reputation as a traitor or weasel, but he sure knows how to make money!

All the more reason for Al to step down. You need a certain level of street smarts to run a business. If Kiffin was set out to destroy us, Al should have seen it somewhere in the vetting process. He just can’t see it anymore. He’s useless.
September 8th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
See, what I mean? I just mention his name…he’s IS the topic in here now. The Raider Nation has Kiffin on the brain.

Whatever happened with Kiffin, the Raiders haven’t gotten over it yet. That’s why it’s still such a sensitive topic. The team is still damaged. The anger at Kiffin is basically an admission that the Raiders are still a bad team. If the Raiders were good, and you guys really thought they were good, you would pay Kiffin no mind.
September 8th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
I predict we score a lot and rough up CJ/VY.
CJ can have 125 yards plus but he will pay for it.
The Titans will be in worse shape then the discharge after last years opening game.
September 8th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
I wonder how pissed Al is that kiffin is now the HC of his beloved USC Trojans?
Is Al now rooting for their opponents?

Plunk: nice thoughts man
think we’ll dominate both lines of scrimmage like that?
Titans might have the best OL in the league, so if our D-Line trashes them we might have one of the better DL’s in the league – which would surprise me greatly

“eave it to Ron Artest to go for a strange ride.
The Lakers forward was pulled over Monday while driving an Indy Car-inspired open-cockpit car through the streets of Los Angeles, according to TMZ.
The car is an Eagle Roadster, a street-legal Indy-style kit car with a 235-horsepower engine. It has a top speed of 152 mph, but Artest was reportedly cited for an expired registration, not for speeding. Artest is not the registered owner, according to TMZ.
Artest was smiling throughout the incident and was eventually sent on his way by the LAPD officer, according to TMZ.
And don’t worry, Lakers fans, he was wearing a helmet. After all, he’s not crazy, right?”

In all of my years watching NFL football, I can’t recall a more intriguing Week 1 slate than the one that awaits us. Of the 16 games in the docket, there’s not a single easy “gimme” pick. Are you in one of those survivor pools? Good luck. To be certain, Las Vegas doesn’t have a single Week 1 spread larger than a touchdown at the moment. In fact, half the games feature spreads that are just 3 points or less.
What’s it all mean? Well, that NFL football is back and the world is all right. Along with an incredible college football Saturday and the U.S. Open semifinals and finals, this weekend is what being a sports fan is all about. Have a friend’s birthday party you committed to months ago? Cancel it. Thinking about taking the lady out for a nice 10th anniversary dinner? Push it to Tuesday. Promised your daughter you’d take her to see that “Nanny McPhee” sequel? Nanny McPhee will have to wait. She takes a backseat to Willis McGahee.
Football season’s back and it feels damn good.
Let’s dig right in.
10 hard-hitting predictions for 2010
1. Whether with Jason Campbell or Bruce Gradkowski under center, the Oakland Raiders are playoff-bound for the first time since 2002.
2. The New York Jets, everybody’s favorite to win the Super Bowl in July, start the season off with back-to-back losses at home to Baltimore and New England and ultimately fail to make the playoffs.
3. Green Bay’s Jermichael Finley emerges as the league’s premier tight end in his third NFL season, catching 90 balls, scoring double-digit touchdowns, and winning millions of American men fantasy league titles nationwide.
4. Rex Grossman starts more games than Donovan McNabb in Washington and plays as well, if not better, than Kevin Kolb in Philadelphia.
5. Jordan Shipley emerges as a stud third receiver in the Bengals offense, putting together a breakout rookie season similar to the one Austin Collie had in Indianapolis last year.
6. The Bills finish with the league’s worst record and draft either Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett or Washington QB Jake Locker with the first overall pick in next April’s draft.
7. The 2010 AFC Pro Bowl quarterbacks: Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers and Carson Palmer. Tom Brady, Joe Flacco and Matt Schaub find themselves on the outside looking in.
8. Both receivers named Mike Williams — the rookie on the Bucs and one-time Lions draft bust now on the Seahawks — have big years for their respective teams, proving their respective critics wrong.
9. Of all the big-name rookie safeties in the NFL this season — Eric Berry, Earl Thomas, Nate Allen, Taylor Mays — it’s Cleveland’s T.J. Ward who has the best first-year campaign.
10. Everybody’s darlings, the Houston Texans, fail to qualify for the postseason for the ninth straight year.

TC got the team ready for last years opening game and I expect the same on Sunday.
I think everyone really is “all in”. The players have bought into what Tom has been selling and we will see the results this year, barring injury……and maybe barring us sucking again.
If Gallery holds together, the Oline should be halfarse and since we seem to have made improvements everywhere else I am hoping for the best.
10 – 6
Best year ever!!

On whether Darren McFadden will get a featured role with Michael Bush out
“First of all, I didn’t know Michael Bush was out.”
On if he anticipates sticking with a 4-3 defensive alignment or if they will use more of a 3-4 scheme
“Now why would I tell you that?”
On if that meant they will run a 3-4 on Sunday
“That means we’re going to play defense on Sunday”
Also, the Raiders were sporting new t-shirts today. “It’s ours for the taking.”
September 8th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
we need a veteran wide reciever like Vincent Jackson or Albert Pujols .
September 8th, 2010 at 2:34 pm

Albert Pujols

Who ???
September 8th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
if we give any 3-4 looks on Sunday it’ll be with TK as the 3-4 NT, right?
he’s got to occupy 2 OL and make sure the RB doesn’t have a lane to run through
the 4 LB’s thing looks real good though – many options
McClain and either Brown or Wimbley next to him inside
Scott, Groves or even Mitchell at OLB attacking the QB

ok – I want predictions for this weekend’s game. Winner and final score. Closest prediction gets title of blog captain until the next game.
September 8th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
I think we should keep as much beef as we can up front when facing CJ2K
McClain hasn’t shown a knack for shooting gaps and blowing up RB’s behind the LOS in OTA’s, camp or preseason …

Banana:
24-21 Oakland

Randy Moss misses practice with “illness”
Posted by Mike Florio on September 8, 2010 5:14 PM ET
On Monday, Patriots receiver Randy Moss said he doesn’t feel wanted by the team. On Wednesday, he didn’t practice due to an illness.
Conspiracy theorists (and they’re everywhere . . . everywhere, I tell ya) would wonder whether a connection exists. For now, though, we’ll simply assume that he really is sick.

Looking like backup tackle Khalif Barnes is new No. 3 tight end for power plays
Cartwright is emergency fullback
-Vittorio Tafur (twitter)

Hey Khalif,
Make sure you report as eligible before every play when playing TE!

I hate Duke, but coach K rules….look what he says about the 72 olympics when the Soviets were given the game over the US:
“And we’ve addressed that that game was played 38 years ago, and five of these guys are 21. So I don’t think they remember it as well. It is what it is. It’ll be a negative from the way the U.S. looks at it forever, and should be. And it’ll be in some ways a positive for those who believe in fairy tales,” Krzyzewski said.”
haaaahahahaha
September 8th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Wow, what a surprise. Plunkethead left a comment with a prediction of 10-6, with just about every other word being “if”.

September 8th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Its called Blind Faith
September 8th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
No, I think we give up a pick six and maybe a punt or kickoff return for a TD….CJ does the rest lol.
September 8th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
I just as easily could have guessed
Oakland Raiders 5
Nashville Hicks 1
September 8th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
But we will crush the Rams the following week 28-10!
September 8th, 2010 at 2:55 pm

Yeah, I think we could beat the “Tit-ants” 20-17….but the Titans will probably beat us…hope not, but I am not betting on us.

How how is it supposed to be on sunday? I heard the raiders are wearing the black jerseys.
September 8th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Best football team in the Pacific Nortwest:
UW Huskies- choked again
WSU Cougars couldn’t beat your H.S. football team
Seahawks at least they have stopped whinning about the poor officiating that cost them the Super Bowl
Boise St. dominates and will win the NCAA BCS Championship, they will be the only Broncos to win any football games.

Do you think the Raiders should paint their football field completely black with silver lines?
September 8th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Raiders 24-13
September 8th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Raiders can afford one and only one big play from CJ; they have no passing game so we can seal that part off completely, they have a good kicking game.
We must not turn the ball over, and when we get them in a third down Raiders must shut them down!
September 8th, 2010 at 3:06 pm

I would never work for Al Davis, Fat Kidd. I’d sooner take a job at Burger King. More dignity.
**************************************************************************************
Maybe McDonald’s is a better choice. That way, when you get a call from Raiders HQ for a few cheeseburgers late at night during a head coach search, you can poison them, kill Al Davis, and finally shut the f*&k up.
