Cable says Bush will play . . . but how much?
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, September 24th, 2010 at 12:55 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders coach Tom Cable said running back Michael Bush practiced without limitations Friday and listed him as “probable” to face the Arizona Cardinals.
Players listed as “probable” almost always play. On Sunday, Bush will have had 27 days to recover from surgery to insert screws into a fracture at the base of his left thumb, a procedure which normally takes four to six weeks to recover.
Asked if it would be a game-time decision on Bush, Cable said, “No, he’s going. I think the game-time decision is on (John) Henderson.”
Bush may not be limited, but his role could be.
“That remains to be seen,” Cable said. “He obviously did everything this week. He’s done a little bit the last two weeks. We’ll go in there and be smart about where and when we use him.”
That means the Raiders are likely to give Darren McFadden another heavy workload. He 24 touches in Week 1 (17 carries, six pass receptions) and a career-high 30 carries in Week 2 against St. Louis, including 20 for 107 yards in the second half.
Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson said he told McFadden before the game to be prepared for 30 carries, and he could be in that neighborhood again Sunday.
“Sure, if the game dictates that, you bet it’s possible,” Cable said. “Once you’ve done that _ and he’s done it a couple of times in college before _ most of those guys are used to having high numbers. He responded well.”
Henderson was in a boot Monday with a foot injury he said wasn’t serious. Cable said the foot hasn’t gotten much better during the course of the week. Safety Hiram Eugene (hamstring), cornerback Chris Johnson (ankle) and cornerback Walter McFadden are also questionable.
Listed as probable along with Bush is linebacker Ricky Brown (hamstring) and defensive tackle Richard Seymour. Listed as out are left guard Robert Gallery, linebacker Travis Goethel and wide receiver Chaz Schilens.
The Raiders worked out safety Jerome Boyd Thursday.

Why are they working out Boyd with my mayne mayne Stevie available?
September 24th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
I say we run DMC at least 25 times

Man im at work lonely..Lmao..Where’s every1 At?
September 24th, 2010 at 1:03 pm
Let’s hope that DNac & Bush romp all over the Cards relegating them to the #32 position of run defense. Has any team in the last 20 years ever run on 100% of their plays for any given game?
September 24th, 2010 at 1:05 pm
Im hoping for a 100 yards out of Dmac and a TD out of DHB

Say it ain’t so……say it ain’t so !!!
September 24th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
If Eugene, CJ and McFadden are all questionable, then why didn’t we keep Stevie Brown on the active roster? Pears is a waste of roster space…
September 24th, 2010 at 1:09 pm
Plz say it isnt it true….If the Pats sign him…He goes to the Pro-bowl next year
September 24th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
the Pats would have to keep him on the 53 man the whole year if they sign him from our practice squad…
September 24th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
we need to stop messing with this kid (Stevie Brown)& put him on the roster, he’s better than Eugene, and just as good if not better than Huff from what we’ve seen so far.
September 24th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
It ain’t so….
September 24th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
they need to be careful with how they use bush. i would rather him sit till next week. let dmac continue to grind it out on the ground. and lets see if our young wideouts can continue to be factors on the field. they actually have corners in arizona. but i think theyll do fine.
RAIDERS 27 cardinals 10
September 24th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
Don’t hurt Bush early keep him on the sidelines just in case. Let DMac stay on the move. Break out season cadidate!!!!

How come the Pats love Ex-Raiders? Someone with the Raiders knows talent, someone with the Raiders dosn’t know how to use said talent.
September 24th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
Al clearly is not impressed with Stevie Brown, as opposed to most of us semi pro’s

they should know what this guy has to offer by now, wouldn’t you think?

Whats wrong with having a bread winning wife? jelous? My wife makes the $$, I just have to chill and do what I want. Now what is wrong with this?
September 24th, 2010 at 1:25 pm
could it be that Murphy and DHB each get 100 yards in this game?
September 24th, 2010 at 1:25 pm

your beef is with him …
September 24th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
The new Brown-Rice, Murphy-DHB. I like the sound of Brown-Rice better, it makes me hungry.
September 24th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
I agree CJ, just imagine the offense if he could stay healthy for like 12 games a year!! Man Chaz as all the tools, just doesn’t have the health! When he does plays…… the dynamics’ of the offense change as well!!

September 24th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
I’m not saying Eugene is good but Stevie Brown isn’t that great like folks make him out to be. He took some pretty bad angles in pre season and apparently is not that high on there list if he keeps getting released and signed and released again. I understand the Gradkowski plea’s but the Stevie Brown plea’s dont seem as warranted to me.
September 24th, 2010 at 1:29 pm

No predictions from me this week, just like last week, since I only gave my prediction on the 1 st game and we lost LOL! I’m just superstitious I guess!!
September 24th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
I’m the only one thinking the Raiders are going to hang 38 points on the Card? Offence always gets better as the season moves along. The D is always better in the beginning then the O starts to get it going in the middle and then the D adjusts in the end of the season.

Cardinals defense is “in the tank”
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 24, 2010 11:18 AM ET
Cardinals defensive lineman Darnell Dockett told his team’s website it “felt like Precious fell on me” after playing 81 snaps against the Rams in the season opener. She didn’t get off against the Falcons. (Yes, we used the quote in our weekly picks too. We liked it that much.)
Arizona is trying to recover from a 41-7 beatdown from Atlanta. Opposing offenses have converted 52% of third downs against the Cardinals. Safety Adrian Wilson took the loss hard.
“I’m in the tank. We’re in the tank,” Wilson told reporters on Friday.
ESPN’s Mike Sando points out that Dockett got pushed around in Atlanta, and Falcons receiver Brian Finneran decked Wilson with a left to the head at one point. Wilson, a team captain, didn’t want to say anything negative on Thursday. So he didn’t say much at all.
He was a little more expansive of his radio show The Big Red Rage on Thursday night.
“I think we need people to stop telling us we’re talented or that we’re good. We need to show it. We may have a lot of talent, but that talent isn’t playing together right now,” Wilson said.
The NFC West is wide open this year. You can make the playoffs if you just win division games and home contests against AFC West teams like Oakland this week.
“If you get into a fight, you at least want to scratch a guy,” Wilson said on his show. “We didn’t even scratch a guy. We didn’t black his eye, bloody his nose, anything.”
——————————————————-
I really, really hate so say it guys, but when a team with higher expectations is struggling, we’re usually their breakout game. Just saying.
Notable exception: Vs. the Steelers last year after “unleash hell.” Starting that game? You guessed it… Bruce (AKA Batman).

I don’t think DA will throw a pick to a LB. The guy likes to throw long, to who nobody knows.
————–
I’m thinking a deflection pick just of the line of scrimmage,

Jano should be a beast in the desert, with that thin air, and indoor control stadium

September 24th, 2010 at 1:51 pm
Looking for Shonasty or Scott to get a sack or two. DA isn’t that mobile.

We should be good 4 two picks this game.
Huff and Routt, since nobody throws in the vincinity of ASO
+++++++++++
That’s why this needs to be the put up or shut up week for the whole “This year we’ll be moving Nnamdi around, we promise, for serious, this time you can trust us” canard. If Asomugha shadows Fitzgerald, Anderson will have no choice but to throw at him eventually.
*****************
I hope so Silver, do you truly beleive ASO will shadow Fritz the cat the entire game…if so I hope ASO pulls one down and the defensive coordinator stops clowning around!!!
September 24th, 2010 at 1:53 pm
I’m worried about the DT rotation with John Henderson out …
Seymour at less than 100 percent
Kelly jumps offsides
Bryant & Alford = trash
if Henderson can’t go, DEFINATELY let Houston get some DT snaps because we all know ShoNasty can get it done at DE in his absence
September 24th, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Very true Rockstar
September 24th, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Sparks NV, I live in Reno which is right next door. I’m going to TMCC (community college) until I get enough classes in to transfer to UNR. The same team that just smoked Cal, damn I was hot at that game.

Why not Lamar as been a pleasant suprise so far!! And I beleive we will miss Henderson in the middle regardless.
September 24th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Ten predictions for this game:
-Richard Seymour nearly murders Anderson
-Wimbley finished the job two plays later
-DMac breaks a 50+ yarder.
-Bruce throws an ugly interception. Next drive he comes right back and leads a touchdown drive
-Routt with a pick-6.
-Dockett makes Carlisle look stupid and smashes Bruce who pops right back up.
-Fitzgerald gets 4 catches or less if Asomugha shadows him.
-LaRod Stephens-Howling gets a kickoff return for a TD, hopefully causing Son of Fassel to finally get schittcanned.
-McClain decleats Wells on an inside handoff.
-Bush drags three guys into the end zone from the 2 yard line.
September 24th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Jano needs to get is drink on or something!!! He can’t be missin al these FG!
September 24th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
What about a Dline like this
Scott Kelly ShoNasty Seymour
You can swap Seymour with all three of the other guys to create mismatches.
September 24th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
Ah hell I forgot about Houston! Duh! Play that man all over the place.

this guy dangerous. don’t sleep on him or Hightower!
I think Wells will be shut down, if he even plays …
September 24th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
although only a two point victory against the Rams in our home opener, all the completions to Wide Receivers, the yardage gained by DMAC, the Reece plays, and the ever-present threat of Zach Miller make us a lot more difficult to prepare for
September 24th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Houston did get some run at DT in that last preseason game. Sounds like we may need him to rotate this game. Definitely prefer ShoNasty to Trevor Scott.
September 24th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
heres a prediction. McClain gives Hightower a Tombstone drop, with draggin his thumb acrossed the neck and all.
September 24th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
My clarevouent powers say that Anderson throws a pick to Lamaar Houston!
September 24th, 2010 at 2:01 pm

26. Cardinals (1-1) | Last Week: 22
The Cardinals followed up a close win against what has been one of the league’s worst team in recent years with a beatdown at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons. The quarterback situation is a mess, and the defense hasn’t been much better. Arizona will need to learn how to contain running backs, as Atlanta backup Jason Snelling shredded the Cards for 186 yards and three TDs on 29 touches. –RW
————————————–
Looks like the Raiders could pound the rock. Although my gut tells me the Raiders will pursue a passing game-plan against the Cards.
September 24th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
Pound the rock with both DMC and Bush against that weak and banged up defense of the Cards.
Pound the rock inside and then start going to the zone and have the back bounce it to the outside….just like the Falcons did to them last week.
Then run some play action bootlegs with Bruce and roll the pocket out to buy him more time to throw.

Big John Henderson being out scares me. I think if we’ve learned anything over the first two games, it’s that we need him to stop the run.
Me, Dakota, and Brien were preaching that sermon day after day before the season started.
I say we try and get Haynesworth while he’s in Washington’s doghouse.
Rotate him and Henderson at the NT position in the middle of the line.
Either Kelly or Seymour should move to end. Along with Houston and Shonasty, at the other end spot, the run would be stopped!
But I know that makes so much sense, it probably won’t happen.smh.
September 24th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Bruce is going to light some fires.
Raiders will be up by 17 at the half, then DMAC/BUSH take over. That will be the gameplan for most games this season. Its what has T.C. Davis has been wanting since he took over this team.
The Alabama Slammer will get his first sack

Don’t mean to be over dramatic in week 3, but we seriously HAVE TO WIN THIS GAME. We have Houston and San Diego next. This game could be the difference in either 1-4 or 2-3. That is a HUGE DIFFERENCE. 2-3, a game under .500 and still right there. 1-4 and the season is over. No way we overcome that. I’m not saying there’s no way we beat Houston and/or San Diego, but we’ll definitely be under-dogs. Bottom line, WE HAVE TO BEAT ARIZONA SUNDAY!!!!

What scares me is that the Cards aren’t known for having a star running back like we faced the first two weeks.
But the unheralded backs are exactly the kinds that have torched our defense over the years.
I hope we don’t focus all of our attention on Fitzgerald and forget to stop the run.
