Raiders news, notes
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, September 17th, 2010 at 1:23 pm in Oakland Raiders.
News, notes and observations Friday following Raiders practice and a press briefing with coach Tom Cable:
– Left tackle Robert Gallery is listed as doubtful, but almost certainly won’t play Sunday because of a hamstring pull, the 11th game he’s missed out of the last 17. Daniel Loper will start in his place.
Richard Seymour, whose hamstring injury is less severe, will be a game time decision, according to Cable.
“He’s actually feeling pretty good,’’ Cable said. “The issue is not having done any real work, so we’ll see come Sunday.’’
Because of his years in the league, Cable wouldn’t be concerned about having Seymour play after missing practice all week.
“He’s done this before,’’ Cable said. “He’s so attentive in meetings and all that, he’s played enough, so he’s got a pretty good idea of what’s going on. It’s just a matter of health.’’
– WR Chaz Schilens (knee) is out, CB Walter McFadden (hamstring) is out, LB Travis Goethel (lower back) is out, DT Desmond Bryant (elbow) is probable, RB Michael Bush (fractured thumb) is questionable, S Hiram Eugene (hamstring) is questionable), and CB Chris Johnson (stinger) is questionable.
Cable conceded the number of hamstring injuries is a cause for concern. Darren McFadden missed much of training camp with a hamstring strain, as did Chris Johnson.
“The way the offseason program and the way everything is set up, the link to camp and all those kinds of things, you can overtrain your team, so you always have to be evaluating that and make sure you’ve given them enough rest time and give those muscles a chance to recover,’’ Cable said. “It’s something we’re looking at.’’
– Cable said he was heading upstairs after the press briefing to look at film and determine whether rookie Jared Veldheer or veteran Samson Satele would be the starting center.
That means, barring a first-ever update by the media relations department of a lineup switch, the starter will be known on Sunday, with the Fox production crew probably getting word Saturday.
– Should Seymour be unable to play, the starter wouldn’t necessarily be John Henderson, although he would get considerable time.
Cable said it could be Bryant starting with Henderson in the rotation, or the other way around.
— Running back Michael Bush will again be a game time decision. He’s got a better chance to play than the previous week against Tennessee, when his availability was portrayed as questionable mostly for show, but he’s no slam dunk to suit up 20 days after surgery.
“He’s feeling better, and he’s done a lot of work this week, but there’s still some issues so we’ll get to Sunday and we’ll make a decision right then,’’ Cable said.
Bush has to be able to 1) Carry and protect the ball; 2) Extend his hands and be able to pass block; 3) Catch passes with his left hand being protected; 4) Be healed enough in terms of the surgery to be cleared by doctors.
– Although it appeared during the practice window and from talking to Jacoby Ford Thursday it would be Ford on kickoff returns and Johnnie Lee Higgins on punt returns, Cable said it could be more of a mix and situation and then going with one man should he get a hot hand.
More to come . . .

Repost (for the haters)
The Raiders should right the ship this weekend.
They’re better than what they showed last Sunday.
Look, even when Russell was in there in last year’s opener, these guys were fired up. Henderson-Gallery-Morris-Coop-Cornbread were mauling SD’s front.
The only reason we stayed close is because SD was physically outmatched and our D was flying and the O was doing just enough with some good running from DMC and Bush and a a big play from Murphy (really two, but we won’t go there).
As soon as they went soft and started ‘thinking’ out there, SD gets a way-too-easy late drive to win.
We scrapped in the 1st KC game despite looking very ugly.
We scrapped in the 2nd KC game and nearly won (lost on a great Bruce pass that clanked off the hands-like-feet of DHB), even with Russell playing the 1st half.
We beat the Eagles. We beat the Steelers. We were competitive for 3.5 quarters against the Ravens.
This team can play.
Getting rid of Russell was addition by subtraction.
As ridiculous as it may sound, the pummeling we received at the hands of the Titans could be the best thing to happen to the 2010 Raiders.
They read too many press clippings saying the Silver and Black were back.
They were humbled.
Now, they’ve got a home opener against a weak(er) opponent and can get to 1-1, making it a 14 game season.
Just a little momentum is all a team needs.
The snowball effect can work either way…..
September 17th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Lions fans have rewarded the Lions for their tough play last Sunday. They’ve sold out their game, and it will be televised. It’s good to see that at least some teams who’ve struggled in recent years have made organizational moves to get better, and that their play on the field is improving. Congrats to the Detroit Lions. Keep up the good work. There’s some pretty sad looking teams in this league that should be taking notes from you guys.

Debo,
I do give Russell credit for gutting out that last drive in Denver.
If you look the the archives here (which only crazies do… so please don’t), you’ll see I was one of his last supporters.
He didn’t lose me on the field, he lost me in front of the cameras and that ‘oh, not my fault’ attitude.
I’m sorry, all the talent and potential in the world means little when you don’t give a sh;t.
Forget ‘media’ cliche, I want the scrappy guy with heart as my QB. Corny as it sounds, a leader of men. Russell was/is not a leader of men.
September 17th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
What an erratic team. Never any decisions. You can start one week and be on the street the next. Get it together Cable.

Drew Brees is not the Al Davis (or anyone’s, really) prototypical QB, but is there any doubt he is the heart and soul and unquestioned leader of his team?
I want a guy like that.
A guy who takes his offense to his mom’s house for some good cooking, or who gets in their faces and keeps em focused and leads the team to victory late in a game.
Gee, I wish we had a guy like that….

I know you did. You have to admit it though, “leader of men” is a little corny. Believe it or not, I’d have no problem with Grads taking over for Campbell. I just think Campbell had all the chances he needed in Washington, unlike my man JR here. If Grads can scramble around and make some things happen, great. But I think by the end of the season, fans will be calling for someone else. I believe that a QB is only as good as his supporting cast. Last year, the supporting cast was as bad as in 2006. It’s a little better now, but a long ways off.

For real.
Veldheer earned the job in camp and you were confident enough to sit him in the Seattle presea game and after some bumps in week one (what a shocker!!!!), you’re not sure now?
Wow.
September 17th, 2010 at 1:51 pm
#12 is a solid post. Leader of men isn’t corny. It’s of utmost importance at that position. So when’s Grads starting?
September 17th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
“I just think Campbell had all the chances he needed in Washington, unlike my man JR here.”
He did, but at the same time, Campbell’s a professional. Even if he doesn’t really say anything at all in a 10 minute interview, he doesn’t throw anyone under the bus and he isn’t obviously overweight, outta shape, and drinking codeine.
In 2 minutes talking to Russell, you know the guy just doesn’t ‘get it.’
I was very hyped when we drafted him, like most of us. Environment is one thing and the argument could be made (succesfully) that nobody would succeed here but you have to think that the lockeroom turned on him.
Why should he get the pass? Draft status and money.
He went to Vegas the day after the Baltimore game while the team was together comiserating.
September 17th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
Debo I agree, michael Bush should not play against the Rams, nor should Seymour.
We should be able to defeat the Rams at home w/o either.
We lose to the Rams, Cable needs to be fired.

Jerry,
Someone needs to ask Cable why the QB’s do not have a cheat sheet of plays on their wrists and why this team has problems with hamstring injuries?
They obviously are not stretching enough or stretching properly with the correct techniques and are not hydrated enough during practices and games.

Who cares if Campbell is a professional? He sucked in Washington, period. And as far as interviews are concerned, I’ll admit that JR isn’t particularly articulate. But the guy wasn’t running for president, he’s a football player! And playing QB isn’t rocket science. He managed to play the position well enough as a prep and college player at a big-time program well enough to get drafted #1 overall, so he must’ve been doing something right. He was able to rally the team several times late to get victories or near- victories several times during his career in Oakland. Some people might even call him a gamer. Leadship can be shown a lot of ways. He’s never been Mr. Rah Rah, but he’s LED his teams to several victories. We gave up too soon on this guy.

The NFL blackout policy needs to be seriously revised!
A 100 mile blackout policy is asinine!
Only a handful of people actually go to a football from 100 miles away. The percentage isn’t big enough to justify having a ridiculous 100 mile blackout policy.
They need to cut that in half to 50 miles.
Granted if the Raiders had Jon Gruden or Jim Harbuagh as Head Coach and if they were winning, then more people would actually go to games.
Go to ATDHE.NET and upload the game there to watch it in full if you will not be attending.

September 17th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
“Yet thanks to the three years of hell otherwise known as The JaMarcus Russell Era, Campbell is being hailed as the Raiders’ savior; a man owner Al Davis has actually compared to the legendary Jim Plunkett.
Oy.
If the narrative sounds even vaguely familiar, well, it should. Time after time after time, OK quarterbacks have been acquired with unjust fanfare, only to fall short. How did Neil O’Donnell do after signing that five-year, $25 million deal with the Jets in 1996? How about Scott Mitchell coming to Detroit in 1994 with a three-year, $11 million contract? (Note: Defenders of Mitchell will cite his excellent ‘95 campaign, when he tossed 32 touchdowns. Detractors of Mitchell will cite, ahem, the rest of his career).
Perhaps the quarterback who endured the most Campbell-like path to doom was a man named Jack Thompson, aka “The Throwin’ Samoan.” Like Campbell, the 25th pick of the 2005 NFL Draft, Thompson came to professional football accompanied by high expectations. Selected third by Cincinnati in the 1979 Draft, Thompson — a prolific passer at Washington State — was immediately deemed Ken Anderson’s heir apparent with the Bengals. In four years with the team, however, he started five games, failing to adjust to the speed and complexity of a higher level.”

Report: Al Davis overrules decision to cut Mike Mitchell
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 5, 2010 10:09 AM ET
“Remember Mike Mitchell? He was the No. 47 overall pick in the 2009 draft, the safety from Ohio University that Mike Mayock and the rest of the nation of draftniks thought Oakland took about five rounds too early.
On Saturday, Mitchell was reportedly the subject of a behind-the-scenes battle between Raiders owner Al Davis and the team’s coaching staff. We’ll let you guess who won.
Let’s back the story up for a minute. 2010 Seventh-round Raiders safety Stevie Brown practiced on Saturday. He spoke with the media about making the team. But when the Raiders officially released their cuts Saturday afternoon, they still had one move left to make.
Here’s where it gets fun.
A Florida radio host Andy Slater that claims to be a former Raiders employee said that Brown was going to get the axe on his Twitter page. This was hours before he news came out. He also reported that “everyone in the organization” except Al Davis wanted to cut Mitchell instead of Brown. Davis essentially wanted to avoid the P.R. hit and admit he made such a big mistake last year. (Maybe Davis told them Mitchell “is a great player. Get over it.”)
Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune breaks down the timeline of Slater’s tweets, which are fascinating. It’s hard to doubt him when he nailed the news before it happened.
Apparently the coaching staff pushed hard for Brown, who also has impressed teammates. But after the Raiders couldn’t find a taker for Mitchell in a trade, they cut Brown. (Even if they didn’t officially mention it on their website until very late last night.)
“Let me be clear, for those tweeting me on Mitchell/Raiders, coaches do NOT want him. Addition by subtraction,” Slater wrote.
But as we know, coaches don’t always get what they want. Especially in Oakland.
Just another day in Raider Nation.”
September 17th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
I am thinking about going to the AZ game as well.
I suggest we try to meet somewhere or we at least wear something that will let others know we come from Jerrysworld.
It may sound silly but if a lot of us are gonna go maybe we tie a white bandana on our neck or something like that. If I go I would like to to meet some of you.

Trust me…that maybe the Lions only sell out all season long…especially if Stafford remains out.

A 50 mile policy I can undersatnd….but 100 miles is freakin asinine!

I was thinking the same thing. The Raiders need to look at why there are so many hamstrings injuries…whether it falls on Brad Roll or the players not stretching enough or incorrectly, something has to be done!

Owner rankings, Part 1: Brown makes ‘em laugh
Michael Silver
By Michael Silver, Yahoo! Sports Sep 2, 4:23 pm EDT
32. Oakland Raiders – Al Davis: Remember when you could hear Davis state the Raiders’ motto, “Commitment To Excellence,” without activating your gag reflex? Now Davis, at 81, is committed to, what, arriving at the office before the sun goes down (something he can’t always accomplish these days)? Granted, the man’s age and health issues should not be causes for mockery; the real issue is the decayed, distrustful state in which Davis allows his franchise to toil as he becomes an increasingly absentee owner. Coach Tom Cable’s, ahem, accidental bumping of then-defensive assistant Randy Hanson last summer was the product of the paranoia and misplaced allegiances that Davis encourages, and the resulting inaction on his part as a manager led Hanson (still ostensibly employed as a personnel consultant) to sue Cable and the team, setting the stage for some potentially embarrassing revelations. Davis also stood by passively as Cable, after an ESPN report in which he was accused of domestic violence by two different women, issued a statement to the network in the hours before a game in San Diego admitting that he had once struck his ex-wife, Sandy. It would be one thing if Cable could coach, but he registered the team’s seventh-consecutive season with 11 defeats or more (an ongoing NFL record) in 2009 while coordinating an offense that scored just 17 touchdowns. Naturally, Davis chose to keep Cable on, perhaps still reeling from the premature firing and concurrent public trashing of prior coach Lane Kiffin. Davis was wrong about Kiffin, just as he claimed in his infamous overhead-projector press conference that Kiffin was wrong about quarterback JaMarcus Russell(notes). It turned out Davis was wrong about that, too, as evidenced by his decision to dump the player he picked first overall in the ’07 draft after three seasons of dubious dedication and meager productivity. In reality Davis, whose team had the league’s lowest attendance in ’09, spends more time thinking about money than winning. In 2007 he managed to convince three venture capitalists to pay him $150 million for 20 percent of the team – and zero say in its management. Now, after blowing the dough on busts like Russell, Javon Walker(notes) and Gibril Wilson(notes), Davis is looking for more: Sources say he tried to get the same venture capitalists to bite on another 20-percent chunk, with no success. Fortunately, he and his lackeys have their priorities in order, as evidenced by the franchise’s decision Wednesday to run a headline on the team’s website attacking an ESPN personality for reporting that the team had discussed trading for Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart(notes). Says an AFC owner: “He’s running a lunatic asylum. It’s a mess. No one has any idea what’s going on out there. I think it’s safe to say he wouldn’t be employed by 31 other teams.” Other than that, Davis is doing a bang-up job.

As a matter of fact we could do it at home games as well. It can be hard to hook up at tailgates whereas if you see someone with a white bandana you can ask them if they are smart enough to post at the greatest raider blog ever!!!!

Why are the Detroit Lions able to sell out and not the Raiders, when the Lions play in just as bad of a market?

Most times hamstring injuries occur not only from bad stretching but from muscle inbalanced, i.e. A guy can squat 300 pounds 8 times but on the leg curl exercise (hamstrings) he can only do 150 pounds 8 times. So when you make an athletic move the quad moves faster and more explosive thn the hammy causing an injured hammy. Nowadays athletes like exercises that are “sexy” and spend more time on them
e.g. Bench press and squats. In a professional team with training personnel e.t.c. I wouldn’t expect that to happen but you never know. Not only hammies are affected by this unbalance, abductor injuries occur from this effect as well
September 17th, 2010 at 2:56 pm

That actually sounds like a interesting coaching set up
September 17th, 2010 at 3:05 pm
writing is on the wall, Jackson will be head coach next season, if not sooner. You could tell at his first press conference. “Al Davis is the greatest football mind ever” or something to that effect.
September 17th, 2010 at 3:07 pm

We can do better.
Gruden was better.
Turner was better.
Kittin was better.
Bill C was better.
Cable = Art Shell (part 2)
September 17th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
I think Gallery must have messed up his hamstring chasing down and stopping the TD after the turnover.
Just a guess, but I guess the O-linemen dont spend much practice time doing that.

Come J, we gotta expect to win.
We’re better than what we showed last week.
Either we go hard and turn it around, or we cry like Mario and call it a season. We will find out in 2 days my man.
But not having any expectations will certainly make it easier to take a loss or more exciting to watch a win.
Wish I could let go a bit more. I stay mad. Can’t help it.

September 17th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
-People want to blame the OL play on the OL coach.
-they want to blame Hue for the bad play calling last game, which I agree with.
-they want to blame Marshall for the D.
-they want to blame Al for the talent on the field or lack of talent on the team.
I have a few questions:
Why do we need Cable?
What does he do? Call TOs!

I have a feeling I will be angry come Sunday evening, even if we pull off a last-minute or nail-biting win.
If we wan’t to contend for the division, which was the plan heading into the season, we need to get an early lead, and have the game not really in doubt in the 4th quarter.
September 17th, 2010 at 3:18 pm

I still like Al Davis, man defense, and vertical offense.

Raiders 16
Rams 13
Fire Cable!
September 17th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
I believe this is a must win game. The lambs are improving however our team should be furthet along than they are. The rams were pounded by the weak cardinal run game. I expect plenty of d-mac running all over this team. The rams rely on alot of blitz packages, they dont generate a good rush with out it. This will jc a chance to set up screens to our wides and slots. Once the lambs defense is forced to commit more near the line we can get it deep. Campbell must force feed dhb!! DHB is showing the talent and improvement but he needs it often so that we can see just how far he has progressed. I think he could be a 6-10 catches a game talent, but he needs to eat.

Look for the Raider games to sell out when the real good teams come in to play in Oakland or when the division teams come in…especially the Chargers.

September 17th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
” Cable said he was heading upstairs after the press briefing to look at film and determine whether rookie Jared Veldheer or veteran Samson Satele would be the starting center.”
You’re frigging killing me. You change the rookie from practicing with the LTs to starting at center his first game on opening day against a stout defense. You sit him for the last preseason game. And now you’re going to re-evaluate film to see if what was supposed to happen did in fact happen? You’re still backing Gumby for the LT position even though 31 DCs are working their fat tight ends out as DEs to blow past him. Cable’s not getting this at all. The sad thing is that if we do in fact win, he will not make the necessary changes to the O line. So JV was good enough to start against the Titans on their home turf but he is now questionable against the Lambs? I personally don’t like the idea of making 6′ 8″ centers. Makes checkdowns a PITA for the QB but Cable is stuck on stupid right now. Of course, everyone will say it’s Al’s idea to put him there, right?
And what’s with all the damn hammies anyway? Last time I checked, you didn’t catch them by sitting next to someone.

At some point if the Raiders want to really attack defenses they MUST creat ways to get the ball to DMC and DHB the mre ways they do that the more explosive this ofense will become. I know this sounds like an echo coming from me but it’s. Those two are the equalizers on this team.
DMC showed that he can and will make plays if he touches the football. DHB will IMO prve the same is true with him. But we seem to strugle getting those seemingly elementary things done. But if JC wants to look good get the ball to DMC, DHB and ZMiller.
September 17th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
You know his suspenders were falling off his shoulder and he was borderline having a heart attack 10 yards into his sprint. Moss probably threw the groceries and asked AL for a release the following day.

Asomugha on the move: Lost in a 25-point loss at Tennessee was Oakland star cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha’s movement around the field. The Raiders have been toying with the idea and they finally did it last week. Asomugha shifted depending on the situation and even spent a couple of plays at safety. Asomugha said he enjoyed the freedom and is looking forward to doing it the rest of the season. Gary Horton of Scouts Inc. said this tactic will make Asomugha and the Raiders more dangerous. It’s a terrific way of getting more out of the special Asomugha. Expect the Raiders to try to confuse and exploit young St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford by moving around Asomugha on Sunday.

In his own words, Buffalo Bills fan Ken Johnson, who has been tailgating in the same lot outside Ralph Wilson Stadium for 21 years, “saw it coming a long time ago” that the NFL and the Bills have had just about enough of his unique brand of pregame revelry, in particular his tradition of passing out shots of Polish cherry liqueur in the thumbhole of a bowling ball to passers-by . You see, according to Jeffrey Miller, the No Fun League’s director of strategic security programs, the league desires a tailgating experience that is “inclusive to everybody” and not solely an “adults-only, R-rated experience.” Lame.
Johnson is a legend in the Buffalo area. In addition to his communal offering of cherry liqueur, he is known for his red 1980 Ford Pinto, on the hood of which he grills meat. He also has a pizza oven made out of a filing cabinet and a chicken wing fryer constructed out of mailbox, and these things, at least as far as the NFL is concerned, do not conform to the family-friendly environment one should experience when attending NFL game. You know, that family-friendly environment the NFL creates which consists of fistfights in the stands, over-served, inebriated, foulmouthed morons and vomiting. Lots and lots of vomiting. Innocent, sanitized stuff like that.
A kooky character, who spends nearly $4,000 per year on his tailgate, has even been featured on The Food Network and has become something of an institution of the Buffalo tailgating experience and has a good time the same way he has been doing it for decades? That sir, cannot be tolerated in the Disney World-like atmosphere one is provided at a typical NFL game.
Last Sunday was the day of reckoning for Johnson. A league official threatened to shut down his party, primarily because of the bowling ball shots and an alleged crowd control issue. Johnson plugged the bowling ball and decided right then and there he was moving his pregame festivities out of Lot 1, which the NFL is apparently attempting to turn into some sort of G-rated oasis, and into a lot across the street where his so-called drunken, hedonistic activity will not be so much in plain view.
“It disappoints me that I have to move away from a lot where I’ve been for about 20 years, but I saw it coming a long time ago. I have known for a long time that they want to sanitize Lot 1 and turn it into a family lot.”
“In my case, I do push the limits, so I can’t scream too loudly,” Johnson said. “But you wonder how many people go to games because of characters like me. I think I add to the experience.”
The above-mentioned NFL director of strategic security programs, Jeffrey Miller, who just by reading quotes from his has all the appearances of probably being the biggest, tight-assed buzzkill on the planet, asserts the NFL’s view:
“The NFL absolutely embraces and supports tailgating. And we also support the responsible use of alcohol,” Miller said. “We want people to come and have fun and enjoy themselves and have a great time with friends and family. But we don’t want to make it an adults-only, R-rated experience. We want it to be something that’s inclusive to everybody.
“Irregardless of the fact that he may have been doing this over the course of a number of years, it doesn’t make it right,” Miller said. “People taking shots out of a bowling ball actually has the effect of repelling families.”
And did Miller use the non-word “irregardless” in his condemnation of all that is fun about the tailgating experience? What a friggin’ jagoff.

I have to admit that I was shocked when he started that kid at C I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he is the coach. But that IMO just wreaked of a coach searching instead of KNOWING. Why would any coach worth a hill of beans start a ROOKIE CENTER who’s never played center at a high level? What was he trying to prove that the draft pick was a good one to justify to Mr Davis that suggestion of Veldheer was the right pick. Veldheer is NOT the problem he was pushed into that situation what was he supposed to say? coach I don’t think I’m ready? It was obvious he wasn’t ready.
I’m not saying Veldheer can’t play C and be a very good one eventually but that was UNNECCESSARY!!

Mike Singletary Disappointed About ‘Rat’ in 49ers Organization
9/17/2010 1:36 AM ET By John Hickey
NFL Writer
San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Singletary is up in arms about suggestions of dysfunction on his team.
He says too, however, that he isn’t going on a witch hunt; his time is more valuable to him than that.
“I don’t want to spend the time trying to find a rat,” Singletary told the media covering the team Thursday. “In time, that smell will come.”
It’s not likely Singletary will forget, however. He was clearly disappointed that a source inside his organization apparently talked to a reporter for Yahoo! Sports.
“To me, that’s a rat,” the coach said. “That’s a coward and a rat.
“In our country, it’s the saddest thing that’s happened,” Singletary said. “One thing I want to teach our guys is to be men. If there’s something you have to say, go say it. And say that you said it.”
A report from Yahoo! Sports said the play calls from offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye in the season opener against Seattle came in both late and garbled to quarterbacks coach Mike Johnson on the sideline. It was further suggested that Johnson’s calls to quarterback Alex Smith were late.
Clearly play calling was an issue in the first half, when the 49ers used their three time outs early and also had a delay-of-game penalty with the ball on the 1-yard line.
“I think I speak with good diction,” Raye said. “I don’t garble anything. I think I express myself pretty well. So whoever mistabrown is Yahoo! , maybe he should come call the plays.”

September 17th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
It seems to me that the Raiders tend to get into too many “trends”. It’s like they even made a trend out of getting into trends. For instance, I don’t remember exactly how many, but I think we have lost most home openers in the recent past, since we have stunk. Then there’s the trend of the coaching carousel, which we seem to have broken, but might actually have only slowed down, since Cable might be getting canned this season. Then there’s the poor line play, the QB carousel, and the constant losing to SD. There was a long trend of losing at away games, but we broke that one a few years back.
I think this year we need to start by breaking the “home opener losing” trend. Then concentrate on breaking the “losing to SD” trend.
I personally think this is a must win already for the Raiders. Losing to the Rams won’t make it any easier to play against the Texans. We could be looking at a 0-4 or even 1-3 if we could beat AZ, but if lose to the Rams I don’t see us beating AZ.
If we are 1-3 or 0-4 when we play SD then we can count that one as a loss as well. Usually SD starts picking it up around week 6, so if we build some momentum and confidence, we can for sure win that one. But if not, then SD will not even blink and count that game as the turn around point for their season.
Which brings me to another point, I think teams just simply are not scared of us. Not that there’s anything to be scared about, but the fact that they know we often beat ourselves without them having to try too hard, gives them a confidence and assurance they have won before they even take the field. On the flip side, the Raiders are always going into games trying to prove themselves, and trying not to embarass themselves. Which I think makes them try too hard, and end up shooting themselves on the foot.
I don’t know what the problem is, there has been a lot of variables from coaches, to players, the only constant has been AL DAVIS. Granted he is the owner and by default no matter who comes and goes, he will always be there…. maybe that’s a problem in it’s self?
I like and respect AL, but when a plethora of coaches, QBs, WRs, RBs and many other players at key positions can’t fix this mess, than I think we have to look higher to the top. I don’t know if it is possible to keep striking out like this when getting new personnel, but if it is, then Al can claim a new record for his legacy.
September 17th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Al Davis is not “just the owner”. He’s the General Manager.
September 17th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
The reason detroit can sell out and we cant is because detroit should of won there first game and we just straight up got stomped..im sure if we made it a game we would of sold out

I want to see the Raiders version of ground and pound with DMC and Bush and when the crowd the line send it to DHB and ZMiller. It’s a very simple formula that works, it’s tried and true. But we seem to have tremendous difficulty just doing that.
September 17th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
I guess ill just watch the game on the interet on the solo tip…could go to the bar where they play all raiders game no matter what but dont wanna end up spending too much money then seeing the raiders lose and going home a drunk depressed mess…lol
September 17th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
Yes, ground and pound is the way to win. Although Murphy is more likely to get the TD than DHB or Miller, imo

DMC was just short of spectacular Sunday, all he needed was the offense to go through him sooner. he is hell on wheels in open field in fact all 3(Bush, DMC & Reece) are on screens. If a competent coach had this kind of talent in the backfield we would win this division IMO. I would love to see what Bill Walsh would do with it. That’s what’s so frustrating I have to sit and watch someone experiment with raw Rookies at C last year 2 rookie WR’s with a struggling QB. WHO does that???? except us!!

Far from pullin’ a baby Henderson on ya, lol.
You know me, I call it like I see it.
I don’t think Cable is smarter than ANY coach we face this year. He couldn’t figure out that Figurs was going to fumble the opening kickoff? Hell even Fisher knew it which is why he chose to kickoff first, lol.
A week of practice and he has to go up stairs and watch film before he decides who the starting C will be? Didn’t we just have a week of practice? Does he think he is trying to throw the Rams off by delaying the announcement? Just don’t think Cable has a clue.
Did Al Davis ever get the answer to his question of who the phuggh us Tom Cable?

I wonder if Branch trusts his front 7 enough this week to take care of HIS responsibilities as a SAFETY ?!??!?!
September 17th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
All week, nothing but talk from the so called HC about how bad the OT play was. Now, we have a possible change a C?
LMFAO!

It’s a little easier to assist the OT’s than it is the C because the relationship between he and the QB is singular. The can help him understand blitz packages. But now Gallery may be out. This is serious man we cannot have situations where the QB has problems communicating with the C. That relatnship has to be second nature, if he wants to quick snap or change cadence he shouldn’t have to beg for the ball.
Campbell was frustrated sure they kept it inhouse but he was frustrated at times when couldn’t take advantage of the defenses aggressiveness.
September 17th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
Kell quit whining…..talk about upcoming Rams game please….what significant matchups do you see?
September 17th, 2010 at 5:53 pm

September 17th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
We have to win this game………..period
We cannot take anything for granted, everything needs to be on point as much as possible.
September 17th, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Veldheer is a rookie and as i said in summer line audibles can be a huge issues. Center is qb of the line
September 17th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
B I hope so man, they simply cannot take this casually as if they can dominate them. They have to settle this Oline down and stop the madness.
September 17th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
I agree a loss just fuels more lack of confidence in the guys but at home in front of home crowd has to help. Sure 40k will be there but we gonna loud and screaming our lungs out
September 17th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
I’ll be sitting about ten rows away from the raiders bench…right near mariachi raider! I will also be on the field with the players before kick off.
September 17th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
Yeah bhp sunday they looked bad…..but honestly i dont believe that is the team we see rest of season
September 17th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
good morning (well over here anyway).
Hopefully this doesn’t end up being an issue, but how many quarters of ineffective play at QB will it take before Bruce makes his way into the huddle? I feel for JC because the ineffective o-line and WR’s that make Landry Clark look like a first round draft pick certainly aren’t helping…
September 17th, 2010 at 5:59 pm

Hopefully the Raiders won’t repeat their defensive performance when the Jets came to town and Sanchez was never forced to throw. If the big fellas can slow down Jackson, surely the pass rush and DBs can feast on a rookie QB still finding his feet?

i got seriously burned a few years back when i decided to accept the expensive postage and buy a Raiders jersey and get it shipped to Australia. You guessed it – #2 RUSSELL!
feel like i need to put that experience behind me and try again. Thought?
Nnamdi – love him but scared he’ll jump ship after another debacle season
DMac – one solid outing doesn’t make a career
Seymour – still doesn’t feel like a ture raider
Gallery – scared i’ll get injured putting it on
DHB – just kidding…
feel like the safest option may be a throwback howie long/tim brown/bo but they don’t seem easy to find
September 17th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
I did see that it was priceless…
September 17th, 2010 at 6:25 pm

Head Scratcher Question? WTFrak is a guy who played 5 years of college football and didn’t start until his 5th year suddenly the starting left tackle for a NFL team? Get the frak outta here, dump the project and draft or trade for a guy who started at least 3 years in college and is a instant starter in the NFL not a ongoing project! My God who is this guy related to in the organization , no way should he even have been drafted!
September 17th, 2010 at 6:31 pm

Yep, that’s what they’re doing, setting him up, in order to keep Al Davis’ skivvies clean.
Even though the guy is a loyal Davis Puppet.
Gruden & Kiffin had it right, if they’re going to take the blame, they might as well do it their way.
Loyalty is a one way street with Davis.

if Oakland loses this one it is going to be a very LONG season………………….do you notice how losing teams have a lot of guys that can’t go that are marginal injuries as opposed to winning teams where they seem to play? do they get full pay? like gallery, mcfadden,bey,schillens etc.. those are some high draft picks and salaries for years of nothing. JaBustus at least put his drank ass in the game

Just in case you didn’t notice this is an open forum for all to think and fell as they choose. So you being on to me means what? I’m as obvious as a punch in the face pal. I state my opinion you state yours. That’s how this works. No need to read between the lines with me.
So if you have something you wnat to ask me …..ask. Maybe I’ll answer if it makes sense.
September 17th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
I think unless a person knows how the o-line was constructed and why we don’t have a veteran receiver or two that can be relied upon, it’s pretty hard to say whose fault it is that we can’t do anything on offense.
If Al told Cable’ “look, these are the guys you get. Deal with it.”, then it’s probably on him. If Cable went to Al and said “these are the guys I want, and I can make it work”, then it’s on the coach.
We know who takes the fall, because we know who’s in charge. But to say that one or the other is responsible without knowing the details is kinda ridiculous.
September 17th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
Loyalty is a one way street with YOU. If they don’t win you whine and cry. I’ll be at the game same as last year and all the years before. Mr Davis’ loyalty is well documented and so is yours.
September 17th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
I hope the Raiders understand losing to the Rams (the worst team in the NFL) at home, by even just one point would be more embarrassing than getting blown out against the Titans.

Thanks for that post, and i’m not saying it because you agree with me or not but it’s a well reasoned objective post. Not slated to one side or the other.
I say what I say because I know to a certain extent not in detail but in principle how he works. Now as far as specific players I don’t have a clue. But he does listen to his coaches and does his best to prvide them with what they need. To what degree is based on the trust he has with that particular coach.
But some people think he waters the grass…

Need more than one game to think DMC is finally ready. He’ll need to string together at least 5 decent games without getting hurt B4 we can declare him a weapon.
Tell you this much, if he DOES play every game like that, we’ll be in business.
Don’t want to over sell it, but some of those runs , the reads and moves were so fast…pretty special runner and not just in the open field.
With out much O line help he made people miss.
One play he gained maybe 1-2 yds but juked a DE screaming into the back field, made a blitzing LB miss and gained postive yards on a play that should’ve resulted in a negative 5.
Give this kid some blockers please.
Add Bush to the mix and it could be somethin to see.

Hey Fat Kidd,
Where’d that “Pinto Ron” article come from? As a fellow Polish upstate NYer that has witnessed the Wisniowka-out-of-a-bowling-ball tradition a few times, I want to know how you found that.
It’s a sad day for sure when they push him out, the dude is a legend! Not only does he grill meat on the hood, but he’s got tools workin like shovels with eggs fryin, saws with bacon cookin… it’s a sight fo sho. I can’t believe that with all the suffering the Bills endure, the No Fun League would resort to this. Unacceptable.
