Bush sitting out Thursday practice
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, September 9th, 2010 at 12:58 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Running back Michael Bush emerged from the locker room in sweats and a baseball cap Thursday, apparently sitting out practice after being “limited” for the previous two days with coach Tom Cable keeping alive hope he would face the Tennessee Titans.
Bush (fractured thumb), wide receiver Chaz Schilens (knee), linebacker Travis Goethel (lower back) and cornerback Walter McFadden (hamstring) were not suited up and all appear likely to be on the inactive list for the season opener in Nashville Sunday.
A few quick hits after the first access to defensive coordinator John Marshall and special teams coordinator John Fassel:
–Cornerback Chris Johnson will play in the first team nickel defense, playing on the outside with starter Stanford Routt sliding into the slot.
– The move of Trevor Scott from weak side starter to right end was made to get Quentin Groves on the field once Groves became adjusted to playing in back of the ball instead of being on the line of scrimmage.
– Linebacker Thomas Howard has repsonded to losing his job as a starting linebacker to being a core special teams player and is also playing in the big nickel defense.
– Marshall compared Rolando McClain’s football IQ and abilty to instantly recognize concepts and philosophies to that of Lofa Tatupu, who was an immediate starter in Seattle and three-time Pro Bowler who helped the Seahawks to a conference championship as a rookie.
– Core special teamers along with Howard this year, according to Fassel, include Groves, Rock Cartwright and Hiram Eugene.
– Return specialist Yamon Figurs was referred to by Fassel as a “high rewards” guy. Figurs scored two touchdowns for the Baltimore Ravens on returns when Fassel was a special teams assistant there.

Truth comes out he is a fassel special….

Everyone’s talking about Trevor Scott and Matt Shaughnessy. What about Quentin Groves at WLB?
http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/quentin-groves?id=240
Seems like the idea all along was that he would be an OLB in the NFL. Jaguars played him at DE for two seasons. The Raiders’ coaching staff might just like what they see, and want to get him on the field more.

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..

LMN,
See you’ve been trying to get my attention.
I’ll just respond with a wassup, and hope you had a good summer.
September 9th, 2010 at 1:05 pm
That’s a cool squad PD81 …
Gotta have plenty of Raiders on a fantasy team, right?
I was really surprised I got so many Raiders in a Raider league.

September 9th, 2010 at 1:09 pm
1st pick ???
Yeah, that’s crazy!
I think I got JC in rd 6 or so.

Yup …
Went with Matthews.
++++++++
Whoa….Both mattews and spiller will be playing behind questionable olines. matthew is a safer pick with SD… Spiller may split time, but he did look good in presea…..He picked up where he left off in college…He will wind up being the feature for the bills…Beastmode will soon be on the market…
September 9th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
Makes sense to get Groves out there. However, I wonder if Scott will be a liability against the run. The good news is we have a few avg to above avg pass rusher. We dont have an elite one yet. But we can rotate them and get the tackles tired. Although Wimbley looked pretty darn good.

Lynch will be available immediately upon Freddie Jacksons return. I think its ridiculous Spiller is their feature back… he isnt going to make it to week 8 behind that line.
September 9th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
I picked up Murphy on the waiver wire and DMAC was my last pick…My SLOW friend picked up JC in the 3rd round lol…..

1st round I could of picked Brady or Peyton…I would never pick Brady just on Principles so glad I didnt after that car accident..Is it serious?
September 9th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Thec,
You’ll notice that I have brand name players, if you will. Back when I sat at a desk 9 hours a day, I had time to research that kinda stuff. I used to buy the mags and all. One of our accountants got me into it talking smack around the water cooler one day, lol.
September 9th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Jhill…
and btw, yup I had a great summer, the last part though was very busy, and still is.
So i hope it will calm down soon so I can be lazy sunday and take monday after a late late night of football..
September 9th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
He had IT in meaningless preseason games… DMAC had IT as a rookie in the preseason too… that netted us ONE good game. DMAC has had more surgeries with the Raiders then 100 yard games!
September 9th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
I had the #2 overall pick, and I went with Ray Rice. Probably should have taken Aaron Rodgers, but oh well.

I picked 6 overall in my money league… I wanted Rodgers but my internet effed up and I autodrafted Brees… Worse things in the world could have happened so Im not complaining… Someone in Dells league took Garrett Hartley in the second round.
September 9th, 2010 at 1:19 pm

What I mean by IT is I havent seen a guy with his swivel, and his stop and start quickness…
DMAC is a straight line guy with zero swive…
I do agree that his oline is terrible and may get him killed, but to me he is the most dynamic back to come out this year, and from a fantasy perspective will score until he gets broken off…

WTF is garrett hartley???lol
September 9th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
I had this argument with a few Bills fans here… Spiller is a dynamic back, but I will bet money that Matthews puts up better numbers both on the field and in fantasy.
September 9th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Bush (fractured thumb), wide receiver Chaz Schilens (knee), linebacker Travis Goethel (lower back) and cornerback Walter McFadden (hamstring) were not suited up and all appear likely to be on the inactive list for the season opener in Nashville Sunday.
***
There is a stipulation that a team may only carry 45 players on its game day roster, so the team must decide each week on which 8 players will be inactive, or 7 if they carry a 3rd QB.
4 of 8 already decided. who else will sit during WK1 ???

I have to give you props BC24 …
You certainly know your NFL players.

–Cornerback Chris Johnson will play in the first team nickel defense, playing on the outside with starter Stanford Routt sliding into the slot.

In another league I have CJ2k and Williams.
I’m a little concerned about Williams moreso because of the pathetic offense around them. The kid from Notre Dame could be starting for them sooner than later, so you know that means a lot of 8 and 9 man fronts.

If I see a list, I have to contribute to it somehow:
Raiders 30, Titans 27. 55 yarder from Jano breaks the tie with a minute to go and Nnamdi picks off VY’s last second Hail Mary in the end zone.
(It’s so nice to be optimistic before Week 1 and all your hopes get crushed)

This forum would have a field day with that.
“Cheetahs” = “Cheaters” Too easy. Bad choice of nickname in today’s society of unrestrained criticism.
September 9th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Trevor Scott will be starting DE for as long as it takes for him to get washed out completely by the Titans’ left tackle and CJ gallops right by for a 75 yard touchdown run.
So basically, 1, maybe 2 series.
After that, maybe the coaching staff comes back to its senses and lets him be a situational pass rusher, which is a spot I think he can not only do well, but thrive.
September 9th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
Raiders win the toss …
Yamon Figurs takes the opening kickoff back for 6!
On the first play for Tenn, T Scott flys past Tenn’s LT and BLASTS VY causing a fumble. TK scoops it up and dances into the endzone, pants in tact.
Raiders win 35 – 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I forget who brought this up yesterday, but it was a great point: The Seymour trade was brought about by the fact that it didn’t take very long for the organization to realize that Scott is completely incapable of sealing the edge against the run.
I thought Scott’s regaining his position was a function of Davis interfering, but given that Al was the one who traded for Seymour because Scott couldn’t contain the run….I have no idea who’s brainstorm this was.

You weren’t lying at all. It’s the truth and makes the decision to start Scott as the base DE even more bizarre.
September 9th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
What is your WORST Raider loss? You know, the one that stuck with you well into the following week and beyond. Mine was the Larry Johnson 4th down last second Chief TD during Vermeil regime. Vermeil was like “screw it, they can’t stop us” and sure enuff, we couldn’t. I almost gave up on sports completely after that.
Second worst was that last second Cheif TD at Oakland when (I think it was Grbac?)tossed that pass over McDaniel to win on a Monday Night.
Gosh, there’s been soooo many. I could go on.

That’s right …
What time is the game on where you’re at?
Who do you get to see the Raiders each week? Do you have DirecTV NFL package where you are?
________________________________________________________
Tonights game will start at 0230..
Sundays games…
1:00 PM (ET) = 1900 in DK
4:15 PM (ET) = 2215 in DK
8:20 PM (ET) = 0220 in DK
Monday games..
7:00 PM (ET) = 0100 in DK
10:15 PM (”) = 0415 in DK
I see Raiders games via NFL on PC or pirate feeds, because NFL feels the raiders isnt a good enough product to show overseas…

What is your WORST Raider loss?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Top 5:
1)Tuck Rule and it’s not even close.
2) Losing to the Ravens in the playoff because of that fat f@!k Siragusa was galling.
3) The Super Bowl disaster against Tampa. That one actually hurt less because I figured we were in trouble because of Tampa’s defense & Gruden’s knowledge of our offense.
4) The 51-3 or whatever blowout loss to Buffalo in the AFC Championship.
5) The 38-0 loss to the Jets last year. It was at home, coming off a really amazing victory versus a good Eagles team…and the team rolled over and died from the first play. It became apparent that JaDrank was useless and that the rest of the team was demoralized and/or didn’t care. It was pretty much rock bottom for the franchise. (I hope)

Easily the Snowjob game for me. Wasn’t around for the Immaculate Reception but that tuck rule crap was the biggest ‘let me pull this never used obscure rule right outta my azz cause we can’t let the Raiders advance’ bullsh1t I’ve ever seen.

Let me clarify my remarks on the last post by saying it was apparent that JaDrank was useless before that game, but after that debacle it became impossible to rationalize away his incompetence any longer.

I hear ya, but I guess the ones that bother me the most are the ones where WE do it to ourselves. We KNOW the refs have a vendetta against us and it sucks majorly, but when we just blow a game like the ones I mentioned it just seems to bite a little more for me.
By the way, don’t forget about the Rob Lytle non-fumble in 1977 at Denver. Soooooo obvious. If they had instant replay back then Raiders have 6 Super Bowls at least.

Favorite Raider win (of somewhat recent vintage):
++++++++++++++
During this whole seven year disaster, there’s only 3 victories worth remembering at all:
1) At Pittsburgh last year. Epic, amazing game; one of the 10 best of the year in the whole NFL.
2) At Tampa Bay in 2008. Knocking the Bucs out of the playoffs and into the cellar of the NFL (even below us!) and costing Gruden his job was pretty fun.
3) Pittsburgh at Oakland in 2006. Grittiest defensive effort I’ve seen out of this team in the past 7 years. The offense got, what, 97 net yards? But the D rose to the occasion time and time again.
September 9th, 2010 at 1:58 pm

——————————————————
Disagree.
I think something happened on the road last year GAME 2 @ KC!
I remember one of the first plays being a simple dump off to DMac, and the ball went straight into the ground. I remember clear as day plopping down on the couch, dejected, thinking we had no chance.
I can’t believe we won that game, by the way.

Everyone’s talking about Trevor Scott and Matt Shaughnessy. What about Quentin Groves at WLB?
Seems like the idea all along was that he would be an OLB in the NFL. Jaguars played him at DE for two seasons. The Raiders’ coaching staff might just like what they see, and want to get him on the field more.
=====================
Groves has always been more suited to OLB just as Kam Wimbley’s better suited to being a “hand in the dirt” pass rusher, however Groves did nothing in pre season games to even hint he deserved to start or even make the team.
Scott’s demotion at the 11th hour could be troubling. He may be heading the way of Tyler Brayton if he can’t get the job done in anything other than the Raiders 3-4 “look” psycho package.

Chris Johnson says he’s the best back in the league
Posted by Mike Florio on September 9, 2010 4:45 PM ET
On Wednesday, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson told Dan Patrick that Peterson is a better running back than Titans tailback Chris Johnson.
On Thursday, the ever-talkative Johnson responded.
Asked how he compares himself to Peterson, Johnson said, per Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean, “I don’t. I am the best back in the league, he is not. I don’t think it is close. I feel like I am above all the other running backs in the league. I feel like I am above him.”
For now, Johnson is right.
But they both had better watch out for Ray Rice.

well coached team and the trenches are solid
have some talent as certain skill positions, too
Warner, Boldin, Dansby & Rolle hurt for sure though
Wells/Hightower at RB

Bad loss – 1985 playoffs. Patsies beat us basicly by running a friggin’ Draw play over and over and over…
Pats got spanked in SB by Bears but what was bad we lost to Chicago, in Chicago earlier that year 9-6 in the brutalist game ever.
A 1985 Raiders – Bears Super Bowl would’ve been epic. F’n Tony Eason.

September 9th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Top 5
0) Immaculate Reception— missing a chance to go to the SB on a fluke on the last play of the game
1)Losing to the Ravens in the playoff because of that fat **** Siragusa
2)Tuck Rule -because even after the blown call the D could not stop the Pats or Vinetary(whatever)
3) The Super Bowl disaster against Tampa. At the time I was a Gannon and Robbins fan.
4) The 51-3 or whatever blowout loss to Buffalo in the AFC Championship
5) All the loses to the Chiefs in 80’s Denver in the 90’s and SD in the 2000s.
But there have been a lot of really exciting wins in that whole time

Awesome win peeps forget. Made ABCs Top 5 MNF Comebacks.
In Denver the Donks go up like 27-3 by halftime and ABC is showing the moon and trying to keep people interested. Second half, boom Jay Schreoder goes nuts and Raiders kick a FG at the buzzer to send it to OT 30-30. In OT Oakland kicks the FG and my buddy and I are screaming like we won the SB. Awesome game.

September 9th, 2010 at 2:32 pm

Condo makes more special teams tackles then ne1 else on the field…..
September 9th, 2010 at 2:51 pm
And no we dont play him but Chris Johnson has some shiny gold 1’s
September 9th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
So Routt played like crap in the slot last year, and CJ was getting toasted by scrubs on the outside last week.
YIKES!!!!

Breakdown5150,
According to the Vegas point spreads, we are the second most unlikely team to pull an upset, out of 16 games.

Gradkowski’s facebook page said that the season “is ours for the taking”.
Tough talk from the backup QB (for now)

RRS aka Scott Nugent, before you sign off I wanted to know if you plan on having a book burning in Podunkville this weekend?
September 9th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
5pm in Podunk – later gents!
September 9th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
TW: I answered that question from you earlier today, look it up
September 9th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Jared Gaither is Out for the game on Monday.
Glad we didn’t trade a pick for that hot mess.

How many times did Peterson fumble in the NFC Championship game last year? But most only remember the Favre int.
Vikes would have won easily if AP would have held onto the ball.

Scott at DE is a HUGE mistake that I can’t overstate. His one skill is pass rushing in 3rd and long type situations. He’s proven to be a liability in other situations. BUT EVEN ON 3rd AND LONG…Wimbley looks pretty damn good rushing from the right side, doesn’t he? Scott may not even be our best option in that situation.
And on downs 1 and 2? Well everybody seems to be in agreement that Scott may be abused.
If Groves truly beat out Scott at the WLB, then so be it. Send Scott to the bench, and let him and Wimbley rush the passer and spell Shaughnessy and Houston on occasion.
Routt in the slot and a cold CJ37 on the outside on passing downs. Let’s be realistic we all know how that’s gonna end up…
I HOPE I’M WRONG, BUT……TITANS 27-14.

TW: what I don’t like about that guy is this …
he says God told him to burn the Koran, but a call from the White House would convince him to cancel his plans.
Either God didn’t tell him to burn the Koran, he’s just trying to get attention or Prez BO’s mean more to him than a call from God.
No matter what which one it is, the guy is a fool and put a serious target (bomb me terrorists!) on his own back as well as his family & church members …

You’re right I did miss it, Tedd Rice, glad to hear you won’t be participating but sorry to hear you sorta might think “God” talks to people. If he talks to you ask him for the lotto #s for Saturday!

Hopefully it won’t take the coaches long to remember what a POS Scott is against the run and he will be benched except on obvious passing downs…otherwise they are going to abuse us on the ground. I can’t imagine Matt S. is worse than Scott against the run.
Scott is putrid against the run.

Vikes/Saint’s 8:30pm Eastern, NBC
September 9th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Scott <——-window dressing however, part of the Raiders rotation… Will be in on run plays less than we think…
Tenn is going to see 8 man fronts… we are going to totally sell out the run…force VY to beat you will Aso covers the best Wr they have to offer…Giving him limited choices…
September 9th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Asked how he compares himself to Peterson, Johnson said, per Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean, “I don’t. I am the best back in the league, he is not. I don’t think it is close. I feel like I am above all the other running backs in the league. I feel like I am above him.”
+++++++++++++++
would be good if we shut him down, and shut him up…
kill 2 birds with 1 stone…

Cable says Michael Bush could get in some practice time Friday after missing today and will be a game-time decision against Tennessee.
September 9th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
The Raider game WILL be on KCBS ch.2 here in SO-CAL on Sunday…
Which means I can have bloodymarys, and ice COLD beer at home, instead of the local dive. Thus, saving myself the $20-$30 buckaroos….
September 9th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
I will accept a hard fought loss at Tennessee.
A putrid loss is unacceptable.
If we stink, I will start preparing myself for the end of the world.
September 9th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
I am pretty optimistic about this offense for Sunday (probably too optimistic and I need to temper myself). Considering that nobody has tape of us running our current offense(Hue Jack)with our best personnel, we could conceivably screen our way to a lot of points. The defense is gonna suck against CJ, I dont care how Cable spins it that we are just missing a few tackles, blah blah blah, its the line!. The line lets waaay too many runners get to the 2nd level with a full head of steam, and against a guy like CJ that will mean a lot of points for them. So it will come down to ST’s and I think botched coverage by the Raiders will giftwrap 6 points for the Titans and they’ll win by 7.
Raiders 27
Titans 34
September 9th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Johnson had 4 games under 100 yards rushing, each game resulted in a tenn loss…
September 9th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
The Saints will be beating ‘ol #4 like a rented mule…

i was just reading a bleacher report article http://bleacherreport.com/articles/455374-nfl-picks-week-1-the-top-underdogs-who-can-win-outright#page/2 and this guy gave the Raiders a 1 out of 10 (1 is lowest)upset probility ranking. does anyone else see a problem with this? if anything i think this game will be a toss up…with the titans running game, and the raiders vertical pass threat…could be high scoring and the last team with the ball wins. hopefully… GO RAIDERS!
=======================
Who gives 2 sh*ts about what any moron on Bleacher report has to say? Its the same thing as reading these blogs.
No one on there is a pro or has any insight. Whole sites a joke.

Raiders “starters” mean very little. Guys are going to be in and out and even rotating positions pre snap to create mismatches.
Ithink people and especially the Titans are going to be surprised at the diversification.
Glad Routt’s not starting, that guy just doesn’t put forth the consistent effort.

Hey LMN never say die. Anyway, in for a penny in for a pound, RAIDERS 24 Titans 14.
