ESPN: McClain fined for body slam
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, September 24th, 2010 at 3:17 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders middle linebacker Rolando McClain received a $5,000 fine for his body slam of Rams receiver Danny Amendola in a 16-14 win over the St. Louis Rams, according to an ESPN report.
Plays such as the one McClain executed were in the preseason presentation showed to every team as well as media members in the league’s points of emphasis.
McClain was not available for comment this week, offering a quick “Gotta go” when approached Wednesday during his brief appearance in the 45-minute open locker room session.

ArmChair GM,
Add “need a true NT” to your list of things I have gotten right…..that puts me up to three things in your eyes right?
September 24th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
Roid rage. I expect that he will soon be in the program….
September 24th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
How does my man get fined, but those clowns from Pitt got off when they practically suplexed Vince Young together? I don’t even think that was a penalty on that play….
September 24th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Whats up Dakota, what ya know good… How’s life my man?
September 24th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Because we are the Raiders which is why we get no love ever when it comes to officiating
September 24th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
On the other hand, he’s Bruce Gradkowski. That said, Gradkowski could walk into a starting job ahead of scatter-armed human Xanax prescription Derek Anderson for Arizona right now. Which makes Oakland an easy-ish pick, and Arizona this week’s weirdest favorite. -– DR

September 24th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Jon Gruden, when here, tried to keep the Raiders & Fans from whining about Officials and media people, and looking for excuses. That’s for losers.
September 24th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
I hear ya man….I’m a Louisville Cardinals fan myself, but things are gonna turn around soon. Really think the Raiders can make some noise if they can come out of these next 3 games at 3-2. KC is terrible ’cause Cassel is terrible so I’m not worried about them. Denver always chokes so I’m not worried about them. I’m just anxious to see how we’ll do in these next three.
September 24th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
So Peter King from S.I. predicts a very lopsided game with the raiders losing 23-6…….He’s gotta be joking????? He is on drugs?
September 24th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
Man I wanted Gruden to take the ND job. Back in 2002 I wanted Gruden to go to ND instead of TB….then ND would have been good and we would have dominated McNabb and the Eagles in the SB.
FOOOOOOK!
September 24th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Not really trying to claim an excuse….just don’t understand how that’s a fine but Vince Young got DDT’ed by two mickeyfickeys on one play and that wasn’t even a flag…..
It’s all good. That hit might of lit a fire in the D’s behind….unfortunately, St. Louis scored on that drive probably because of that penalty giving them the extra momentum, but I think we’ll put up a solid showing Sunday in AZ.

Keep the big hogs fresh, mix BCampbell in at RG and/or RT, especially on running downs, BCampbell is a beast let’s see it on the field.
My thoughts….
Go Raiders!
September 24th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
Dakota, looks like it’s your boy and my boy finally in the same backfield together with a QB who should at least garner enough respect that they won’t see 8 in the box the whole game. Can’t wait until the first fake handoff to Bush up the middle and pitch outside to McFadden….guarantee if they run the opposite a couple times before, it’ll gain at least 10…
September 24th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
I just hope they aren’t rushing Bush back. Sounds like his thumb was pretty foooooked up.
Oakland Raiders’ Michael Bush has thumb amputated
by Daniel Black

(Oakland, California)
Oakland Raiders’ running back Michael Bush’s career may be in jeopardy today after doctors were forced to amputate Bush’s left thumb. Bush suffered a broken thumb in Saturday’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Initially the team stated that they believed Bush would be back for the season opener in two weeks, however, after undergoing four hours of surgery to attempt to repair the thumb this morning at the
Webstern Orthopedic Center in Oakland, it was announced that Bush’s left thumb had to be amputated.
According to Dr. Sam Johnson, the orthopedic surgeon who performed the surgery on Bush, the operation was more complex than first thought. “The initial MRI did not show the extent of damage that Mr. Bush suffered to his thumb. Once we were able to open up the thumb, we found that the blood vessels supplying the area had been damaged to the point of no return, it was then determined that we had to take other measures” said Johnson.
The other measures Dr. Johnson was referring to were the amputation of Bush’s thumb and the harvesting of Bush’s left big toe to be grafted on to Bush’s left hand to replace the thumb. Bush’s football career may be in jeopardy. “Well, we believe he should have good range of motion in his new digit after a few months of physical therapy, so I doubt he will be back for this season. However, going into the future, the big issue will be with his balance. Losing the big toe on his left foot would not affect the average person, but for an athlete it may result in difficulty in cutting and balancing which may affect his performance” says Dr. Johnson. The Raiders have not returned our requests for a statement.
September 24th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
yea, TMZSPN kills me with their Raider hating…they’ve cooled off temporarily, but a few ripped us after that Titans game. Whats crazy is no one understands how good that Titans defense is, but they will shortly. The Raiders are doing alright to have made it thru that game without any serious injuries, minus Gallery’s bum behind…
September 24th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Jerry banned me for posting that fake news item the day we found out Bush was injured, lol. I think it should be safe to post by now.

Aww yeah, Colin loves to rip us….Half the time, they don’t even watch us though. They just watch the few bogus highlights on Sportscenter, and when they report on us they like to go off of what they heard from one of the other haters. Can’t wait ’till they’re forced to throw up a graphic showing how much better DHB is doing than Crabtree this year….And the stat gap for those two will only grow wider

When he came in, he and Gruden changed the culture.
The hope is Bruce being a firey guy, will keep the team, or at least the offense, accountable and focused.

Many ppl in here are missing the poor play of Veldheer at LT. They just chose to turn a blind eye just because they “hope” he could be the answer. I don’t know the answer t that but I doubt it based on his play at that position.
He better at center, heck maybe dominant at center, IF he can get the calls/snaps ect right when playing that position.

Banana,
I’m sticking to it, Raiders 31-7.
If Beanie Wells plays significantly I may give the Cards 14-17 though. He strikes me as the kind of RB that could give us (or most for that matter) some trouble. But I think he’ll be limited.
September 24th, 2010 at 5:09 pm
If Raiders win that big I’ll go nutz! 31pts in one game! When is that last time I’ve seen that …can’t even remember.

Banana, put me down for Raiders 27-17.
This team finally starts to gain a little confidence.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
If Bush plays, this game should be over by the half.
McFadden, Bush, and Miller are all legit options. Should be enough to keep the Cards busy and allow single coverage on the WRs.
I’m actually looking forward to our defense vs Anderson.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
Im outta here…Goodnite Raidernation…Talk to yall on Monday….
September 24th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
DHB and Ford on the field at the same time is a lot of speed stretching the field.
I guess we will get to see what type of play caller Hue is now that he feels he has a QB that’s like him.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
The matchup I’m worried about is Ken Whisenhunt vs. Tom Cable.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Now is the time for Nnamdi to start to earn that fat contract. The next two weeks they face two of the top calibre WR’s in the league. Fitz and Andre Johnson.
They’ve been talking all offseason about letting him move around and shadow the other team’s # 1. Let’s do it.
Early Doucette is out and Steve Breaston is gimpy. I’d trust Routt vs a gimpy #2.
Let Derek Anderson know, if he wants to go to Larry Fitz, he’s going to have to beat Mr. Asomougha.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
McClain should have been fined by the team for stupidity.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
If I’m Al Davis, I’m paying that fine and adding another 5 grand for Rolando.
The timing could have been better, but you sure can’t argue with the motivation, and we need that kind of attitude on our team. Dmac showed it on offense and Rolando represented the defense. I like it.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
Ken Whisenhunt vs. Tom Cable.
——————————————————
Cable has nothing to do with the offense or defense, so we should be ok.

But we seem to be playing a lot more zone these days when we blitz, so we’ll see.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
The Raiders have trouble with quality opposing head coaches, like Jeff Fisher, Mike Shanahan, Marty Schottenheimer.
They beat the scrub Rams coach last week, sure, barely.
Just because the Raiders are without that weapon (Cable) doesn’t mean they aren’t vulnerable to good coaching against.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:25 pm

Ken Whisenhunt vs. Al Davis
September 24th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Kell,
That was a very valid point you had earlier about the psychologically weak Raiders handling the Cards in their home opener. Here lately that has been a huge hurdle for the raiders to overcome. They’ve had that “oh no, here we go again” attitude. A bad call or bad play would send them into a tailspin.
It is the Cards home opener, and they are coming off an absolute embarrassment against Atlanta. They are going to be fired up, undoubtedly.
The key for Oakland will be to withstand the early emotion at the start. Avoid any huge mistakes. Let the game settle down, and I think they could just take over. They should be able to run on the cards.
If they can get this very winnable game on the road and win two in a row, that would be huge,IMO.
This team could start to gain some confidence, and then maybe even some momentum.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
This is one in 3 easy road games travel wise playing the NFC west
September 24th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Just because the Raiders are without that weapon (Cable) doesn’t mean they aren’t vulnerable to good coaching against.

No argument here.
I’ll say team discipline falls under the HC duties. “Stupid” stuff needs to be cut out like false starts, holding, offsides, and personal fouls.

Absolutely, but I think it needs to be a convincing win for that to be true. We now have a QB behind C that can do execute. On paper, we should smash this team.

Glad to see Bruce given the job he earned last year.
Raiders 24 – 20 Cards
Raider on wayne…
September 24th, 2010 at 6:37 pm
When was the last time the Raiders won 2 in a row? I think it was the B & B season of ‘06. We beat Pitt via Asomughas pick 6 and then…
September 24th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Oh nevermind, I’ve been drinking, now recall we did it last year and Jawalrus did it at the end of ‘08.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
odd some celebrating a body slam as a positive.
Can happen on most plays, especially when a runner is held up. Wasn’t like he gave him a vicious hit.
Cheap shots aren’t what you want the team to do, ever.
You really believe a player gets jacked up because someone takes a cheap shot?
No, they don’t. That happens in jr high maybe, maybe freshman football.
Vicious hit? yeah. jarring tackle? sure.
other than that it was a stupid play, that cost the team
September 24th, 2010 at 6:41 pm
Dirty Dozen: Terrell Owens Tops List of League’s Most Disruptive Players
Dave Goldberg
12 players who are trouble to their coaches, their teammates and the NFL.
1. Terrell Owens, WR, Cincinnati: Lifetime Achievement Award, if “achievement” is the correct word. He currently has 15,061 yards receiving for his career, about to overtake Isaac Bruce for the No. 2 career spot behind Jerry Rice. His 144 receiving TDs are second to Rice. But he is not a lock for the Hall of Fame — a bunch of voters have mentioned that. Because as positive as those stats sound, Owens has been a disruptive force, especially on his first three teams. Ask Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo what kind of teammate he was — well, maybe not Romo. But he was run out of San Francisco, Philadelphia and Dallas, despite his ability, and the shows he put on in Philly in 2005 and in Dallas the next season (”attempted suicide?”) contributed to his team’s lack of success.
2. Richie Incognito, G, Miami: In the tradition of Conrad Dobler, a guard with the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1970s and ’80s who was the most-hated player in football for his demonstrably dirty play. Incognito is a very good player or he would have been “incognito” in the NFL long ago. In fact, he was kicked out of Nebraska in 2004 despite being All-Big 12 and yet still got drafted by the Rams in the third round in 2005. According to the Palm Beach Post, which totaled it up, he’s had 11 personal foul penalties since he’s been in the league and been fined $85,000, including one for “verbal abuse of a game official.” He finally was cut last season by St. Louis after two 15-yard personal-foul penalties in one game. The Bills immediately picked him up and the Dolphins signed him this season. Anger management needed.
3. Albert Haynesworth, DT, Washington (for now): Everyone knew Haynesworth was a guy who, in the words of Randy Moss — Minnesota version — plays when he feels like it. He played in 2008 for the Titans because his contract was up. So Dan Snyder (who else?) gave him $100 million (really a bit less) to become a Redskin. Contract signed, he had a so-so season, then Mike Shanahan showed up and told Albert he’s a 3-4 nose tackle, and Albert refused. A training camp of unsuccessful hazing had Albert demanding a trade and the Skins are trying to oblige him. So much for a $100 million investment.
4. DeAngelo Hall, CB, Washington: Another Snyder project after both the Falcons and Raiders dumped him. Not for his talent — he is certainly one of the top 10 cornerbacks in the NFL. But his mouth gets him penalties — so do his late hits — and he’s not exactly a favorite with either teammates or opponents. After Houston came back from 17 points down to beat the Redskins Sunday, he announced that it was his defense and that from now on, he’s covering the best receiver on the opposing team. “I’m going wherever the ball his going,” he said. No, it’s Jim Haslett’s defense and Shanahan’s team. That’s why his talent often isn’t wanted..
5. Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh: “Wear a helmet, Ben, it’s the law,” everyone told a young Roethlisberger about riding his motorcycle. Ben said, in effect: “I don’t need to, I’m a star quarterback.” So he was lucky to escape an accident in once piece and put the helmet on reluctantly
“Be careful off the field, you’re a target,” they told him after a lawsuit alleging various things was filed against him by a woman in Nevada. Nope. Here he was chasing college students in Georgia. No charges but a four-game league suspension. Guilty of immaturity, which is not what a two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback should be. The Steelers are 2-0 without him and his captaincy has been stripped by his teammates. Learn anything?
6. Randy Moss, WR, New England: It’s a tribute to Bill Belichick that Moss is playing as well as he is after sounding off about his contract (or lack thereof) after Week 1. “I play when I feel like it,” he said earlier in his career and was dispatched from Minnesota. He didn’t feel like it in Oakland and was traded to the Patriots, with whom he’s played like one of the three best receivers in football, including making one of the great catches of recent years Sunday against the Jets. But he still can’t shut his mouth.
7. Santonio Holmes, WR, New York Jets: What does it tell you when the Steelers accept a fifth-round pick for a Super Bowl MVP? Currently serving a four-game suspension for a marijuana arrest, he has been involved in two episodes of alleged domestic violence. Common thread in this list: good players sent elsewhere by teams that don’t condone their behavior.
8. Braylon Edwards, WR, New York Jets: Not just for the DUI this week. Unfortunately, that’s all too common in the NFL. Last year, he punched a member of LeBron James’ entourage at a Cleveland club, for which he has been charged with assault. Yes, he does a lot of good things for kids in Cleveland. He also drops a lot of passes — or used to — which doesn’t get him on the bad guys list but should tell him to buckle down and concentrate.
9. Aqib Talib, CB, Tampa Bay: Was taken off some teams’ draft boards because he was considered trouble. Showed it by getting into a fistfight during the rookie symposium. Last year, he was arrested for striking a cab driver, getting himself a one-game suspension for the first game of this season. Then he showed up to watch the game, which he’s not supposed to do. That’s no big deal other than to demonstrate that maybe he doesn’t learn quickly that rules apply to him as well as everyone else.
10. Brandon Jacobs, RB, New York Giants: OK, he fits about here. When the Giants, always conservative, were shutting up about all the braggadocio coming from the Jets, Jacobs was challenging the team that shares the New Meadowlands Stadium, aka the Great Gray Elephant. Then came the helmet throwing. Of course, he’s unhappy. He has lost his starting job to Ahmad Bradshaw, in part because he’s probably hit the running back wall — he is a very big back in his sixth season and his body can take only so many hits. RBs decline earlier than players at most positions, and that’s what seems to be happening. His way of showing his frustration is anger, which helps no one, least of all himself — his wallet is $10,000 lighter.
11. Jeff Reed, K, Pittsburgh: A kicker? Aside from the fact that he can’t tackle — he twice fanned on runners returning kickoffs for touchdowns last season — he’s had off-field problems. Last season, he was arrested at a restaurant and charged with resisting arrest and public intoxication after police say he raised fists while officers issued a public urination citation to teammate Matt Spaeth. Charges of resisting arrest and simple assault dismissed, but ordered to 40 hours of community service. Again … a kicker?
12. Shawne Merriman, LB, San Diego: He knows his play has declined because of serious knee injuries so he was smart enough to end his holdout this summer and show up to camp, unlike teammates Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill, who have more leverage. Maybe it was from the frustration of the injuries, but a year ago, his supposed friend, reality TV performer Tila Tequila, signed a citizen’s arrest warrant, charging him with battery and false imprisonment. She said he choked her and was treated for injuries at a hospital
September 24th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
thank god for playing the NFC west.
Sad fact is the rams have won something like one game in the last 27 or so, so kind of hard to get to pumped up on barely beating them.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
The Cardinals are sort of a shell of the team that just went to the SB two years ago, and almost won. Damn Steelers.
Obviously Kurt Warner to D. Anderson is a huge step down. But, so is losing Anquan Bolden opposite Fitzgerald. Now DC’s can concentrate on doubling LF. AB is a beast in his own right.
They are also missing Karlos Dansby, who is a playmaking, tackling machine who I would of loved to see in Silver and Black. Oh well.
I do worry about Darnell Dockett vs the interior of our O-line, though. That guy is a human wrecking ball when he wants to be. Hopefully he sees lots of double teams.
September 24th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
post 88 Tom Flores sounded unsure of what to say,Papa was,Om MY,what do you think, Tom? Got to be a penalty, right.Yea,by todays rules,soft,imo I agree the timing of the game could have been better, but im with Edward Teach on this one, period! Monday morning at work,it was did you see Rolondo slam that guy? YUP,I Did and could be a game factor down the road,maybe someone has alligator arms comin over the middle, Raiders!!!!!!

James Harrison was fined the same amount for suplexing Vince Young. No flag, though.
“PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker and former Kent State University standout James Harrison has been fined $5,000 for slamming Titans quarterback Vince Young to the turf while sacking him Sunday.”
September 24th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
Sometimes you just gotta send a message. He’s a rookie, and as I said before his timing could have been better. That will change.
The Raiders of old did that stuff all the time. Penalty or not, it gets in the oppponents’ head. All the better if they don’t like it.
You want soft, root for Jacksonville. Their middle linebacker should be right up your alley.

Post110, ET,Ive been a Raider fan since CD and Tom Flores were qb,that said,on defense now,you go for a tackle, its like when youre hands hit a HOT Stove,got to let up and do a little prayin/hopin youre guy goes down

I hope McPain bodyslams beenie on Sunday
September 24th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
Hendu,
Completely agree with you. Funny thing is that the league has done everything in its power to increase scoring because fans love touchdowns but seem to have forgotten that we almost love the big hits even more.
I’ll take Ray Lewis and company over Peyton Manning and Tony Romo every time, but maybe I’m just old school.

In other words, you want stupid?
Gets in their head? oh man, you serious? The runner jumped up, like it was nothing, and the team got 15 yds added on.
All teams body slammed before they changed the rule.
Again, kind of ignorant to celebrate a stupid penalty that costs the team 15 yds.
Even more ignorant to state other teams will think about it.

Sammy I have to agree with you where it was almost embarassing to see Groves congratulate McClain for his slam when it clearly didn’t even phase the 180lb WR. Make a hard hitr when it counts and then you can strut, until then, STFU!
September 24th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
McClain is a rookie.
You guys seem to expect him to play like Lewis or Urlacher.
September 24th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Exactly, Carl. Something that gets the respect of your opponent, and other fans, instead of something pretty much anyone can do, and get penalized for.
September 24th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
I don’t think any one expects him to play at that level yet, just saying that one play, which I’m sure he won’t do again, isn’t something anyone should be condoning, or celebrating, because it basically was a nothing, penalized play.

You may have killed for the mob but you never played football.
A play like that sets a tone on the field of battle and yeah, it makes a difference.
Did it cost 15 yds? Yes. Did it cost $5 k? Yes. Did that play help extend a TD drive? Yes.
Did it get the attention of the Arizona offense? Yes. Yes it did.

Really? you REALLY believe so?
That now players around the NFL are going to be saying ‘OMG did you see that cheap shot where the receiver just jumped back up, where the Raiders got a 15 yd penalty? Oh me oh my, is that scary, or what?”
You REALLY think that other teams are going to start fearing the Raiders because of that play?
What is this? Kindergarten? Get real, and stop with the silly fear take. No team fears any team. Teams respect good teams, but fear? Put down the comic books.
September 24th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
~You may have killed for the mob but you never played football.~
Oh stop. Now you’re getting ridiculous.
You’re actually saying slamming someone down is scary? That it got their attention?
Ok, I’ll play. tell me exactly how they now quivered in fear? Antsy anticipating the same thing? Where it set the tone?
Lol. It did nothing. maybe in your mind it did, because you don’t play.
Read it slowly. the majority of the defense can do that exact play a dozen times every game, EVERY GAME. Teams used to, EVERY TEAM, EVERY GAME, do the same play, but don’t now.
silly and stupid to state now teams noticed.
show me one take, anywhere, from any player, from any team that stated “wow, that was scary, and awesome”. You won’t because you can’t. It’s only easily influenced fans, such as your self, who state it.

As a MLB who’s trying to establish himself that was just the beginning. Come over here and you’ll get something to remember me by. He has to be consistent puttin them on their back.

I’ll ask you the same question. What is the next guy going to now do? Your saying that each and every rb, or receiver is now going to think twice before going in McClain’s direction? That’s ignorant.
Ok, so, let’s see. The next chop block, or clothesline tackle, or pretty much any cheap hit players will do the same, right?
Name me the last player who took a cheap shot (which most end up in fines, which happen all the time) that other players now worry about?
You won’t, because they’re aren’t any.
I know. You jumped up and screamed “that’s what I’m talking about” and so want to believe that silly, nothing, cheap shot was awesome, but it was nothing.
guess you missed the part where the receiver just jumped up and went back to the huddle. 15 YARDS DOWN THE FIELD.

September 24th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
~ The nasty must comeback in Oakland if we wanna take this division~
Smash mouth football makes other teams take notice. Cheap shots give the other team better field position.
What do we want?
Penalties that we know can’t/won’t continue, or laying someone out with a vicious hit, or team tackling where the player lays there, or making receivers fear going across the middle?
I think the latter 3 work. Cheap shots just help the opponent.
Again, not one player, anywhere, has commented on a cheap shot that amounted to nothing to a skinny wr who jumped back up. That’s not smash mouth raider football, is it?
September 24th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
All they have to see on film is 6′4″ 270 with the kind of agility this kid can with a bad attitude guy’s will take notice. There is only one way to play MLB, with tremendous aggression. He is the leader of this defense the QB if you will they will foolow his lead if he leads them. When you have a MLB who plays the game physical and aggressive your defense tends to become that.

I’ll say it again, what teams fear is vicious hits. That wasn’t a vicious hit. If you think it was, you wear a dress.
And the player DID JUMP BACK UP AND GO TO THE HUDDLE. that skinny little wr. No one noticed anything except a stupid penalty. you act like what he did any player can’t do on almost every play. the opponent benefited from it, and scored. means it was stupid. you jumping up and down like a little girl puts you in the same boat, dude.

Bauce, what’s your prediction for the score on Sunday?
I got 24-17 Raiders.
**********************************
Well I see a sloppy game for both teams. Expect blitzing and sacks by both. Major turnovers will occur in this game for both teams. I see both teams getting good run yards.
Grads I suspect will go 20-35 for 220 yards 1 TD and 1 INT…..I expect Bush and Dmac to only combine for a little over 100 yards total. I believe Ford and JLH will get some good returns and help ease the length of scoring drives.
Sadly I know AZ will run well vs us without Big John. Seymour sucks as NT as does Kelly. Its a joke. AZ will spread us out and we must be smart when we blitz. No pressure on Anderson equals massive trouble. They shall make plays and move the ball.
Game going down to the end. Kicker will win it. I like to think its Seabass from 45………
Raiders 23
Cardinals 20

did someone just state McClain is the leader of the defense?
he’s a fish out of water, and you call him the leader of the defense?
that’s wack.
yeah, play physical and aggressive. I already said that. So did others. point is that wasn’t physical or aggressive. It was a stupid penalty.
I notice no one has answered the question on which player, from which team, or which announcer from which team commented how now anyone has to fear the Raiders LB? No one has, because it was nothing.
only to easily influenced people who never played the game.

you are full of schit man. That play was BAUCEome. Silly? Come on guy how many times have we seen WRs go across the middle freely against us? Our past MLBs would have struggled to even touch the guy. Football is a physical game and we have lacked physicality in this recent stretch. Anyone who is doggin this is a wimp or a Raider hater….which one are you?

Ebonics stuff=zzzzzzzz that shows exactly what you really think lol…..you cant hide yourself buddy. Who said anything about a vicious hit? Show where the word VICIOUS was mentioned. Too funny with this site people making false accusations just like women. Dress? Please spare me that weak stuff. I go to games all the time you can see if I sport a dress or not.
Who gives a damn if he went back into the huddle? Do you remember Delawrence Grant playing LB vs Jets in 03? Yeah he softly wouldnt slam Santana Moss and slung him forward 60 plus yards for a TD. Morrison did the same fawkin thing in 2008 vs DeAngelo Williams.
You dummy you dont get it! Raiders have lacked any type of physicality and take their ass beatings willingly. And I ask you this….did that slam cost us the game? No….now shut up
Little guy? How about you come next week to parking Lot and call me a little girl face to face if you so tough punk

I don’t see many teams running on us if we play the way we did Sunday, I know Big John is down but Seymour hasn’t played this year at full strength yet. Big John is a lot better than I thought but he took too many snaps. With Seymour back we’re stronger if he starts and Big John plays short yardage goalline. This defense is still gelling. I like what I see so far.

no dude, it’s fawk you and your juvenile wannabee bit.
lot of posters stated it was a stupid penalty, because it was.
no one in the nfl did squat, fool. not one. not a single player noted it as scary. not a single announcer stated it was setting a tone. only dopeyass fans.
and I WAS THE ONE WHO SAID IF YOU WANT TO SET THE TONE, LAY A VICIOUS HIT ON SOMEONE, not grabbing someone and flipping backwards on his head.
that’s how you get attention. that’s how players respect the defense. a cheap hit that won’t happen again worries no one.
Again, i know it makes you feel special, and happy that someone got a cheap shot. means your a moron, nothing more.
you think the raiders are cheering McC for that play, or telling him “that crap goes in college, but not here”?

September 24th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
I dont see it happening this week but hopefully the wet dream Al had back in the late 80s with Mucus and bo is realized in Dmac and Bush. I know Al knew years ahead of time it would take two starting caliber RBs to win in this league. With Bush back healthy it is imperative,whether Grad or JC start, to have the offense go thru those young RBs. Both are triple threats out there and if we wanna establish any type of passing game that will net us wins come November and December we must do this now. I’m in high doubt as of now though

Seymuor doesn’t play NT he plays the 3tech, IMO he is one of the best 3techs in the game when healthy.I say we play the run very well with him in there. Not that worried at all. The key is how well we tackle, if we tackle well we’ll focethe to be one dimensional and we should win that battle.
Now on offense we have to stay balanced and I don’t thgink they have what it takes to stop us if Grads is on.

Because it was nothing. Maybe to you, being a kid, it’s something. When you grow up youll realize two things. it was a hit that would only impress a kid, and two your handle shows you are a dopey kid.

The bottom line is Henderson needs to start in the middle of that D-Line. Seymour needs to play D End with Kelly next to Henderson in my opinion, and Houston at the other End position.
But I can deal with Seymour next to Henderson and Kelly on the End.
Either way, Seymour and Kelly in the middle together is a disaster waiting to happen against the run.

Priest if you didnt notice the Titans game you would see where Seymour was lined up. He was next to Scott as the LDT or NT if you will. Now Raiders did a good job on cj2k that day but over the longhaul this wont work at all. Kelly was lined up as the UT all game long.
We need a big body at NT like Big John. I keep stressing about the LG and C having trouble with that guy and it helps people clean up in the run game. Last week vs the Rams is a prime example of what I’m talking about. Watch this week how the Cards will alternate doubling Seymour or Kelly. With Hendu for sure in most cases they doubling him and that makes life for the UT much easier.
As far as Seymour being a top 3 tech guy……..HELL NO

This year has a different ring to it, This is the much anticipated beginning albeit 2 years removed due to Russels travails and DMC’s injuries. We finally have the HB’s and the WR’s to do what we’ve been waiting for. Very talented and gifted and ready to deliver. DHB will serve notice this year that they are here tos stay and win their share of games and titles.
I said it early in the ofseason that DHB would change a lot of minds this season and he is doing that week by week. DMC has shown me that he has what I didn’t think he had, which is ability to dominate between the tackles. That changes everything he now is a bonafide great back, capable of probowl seasons. His ability to catch the ball separates him from many HB’s and puts him in elite status.
Couple him with Bush who has that same ability and you have one of the most dynamic backfields in the entire league. Two feature backs with tremendous talent but very different styles. At first DMC was viewed as a 3rd down back, well scratch that he is an every dopwn back with tremendous talent to dominates games catching and running. Very few teams can say that most have specific specialized skills. Not these two they are the kind of talents you biuld an offense around.

Glad to see you know DMAC can be more than a 3rd down back. The Reggie Bush comparisons were ridiculous and insulting. But still its only 2 weeks. We got 14 more to go.
Yes DHB catching 6 passes is something not many of us can imagine, but the constant dogging by the media and even some fans has the guy motivated. It shows he is a man and doesnt like people clowning him. I dig it. I didnt want to draft DHB because I wanted Rey Rey but I damn sure approved DHB over Michelle Craptree and still do! DHB wants it and I was there Sunday to witness it for myself! Its early but his continued progress will help us alot.
And yes I agree the skills positions are what we have dreamed of. Too bad the oline aint there yet. But this can be a very explosive team on offense. I like how all our guys are young and that we didnt get some crap ass vet to stop the development
September 24th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
Brian I aint worried about this run defense. Because it’s a 4/3 base defense keyed by the 3tech. I know this concept escapes you but it doesn’t require a big NT it requires two Dt’s that work wel together and a 3tech hat is capable of disrupting the offense. If you watch the AZ Cards play defense you’ll see what I mean. Darnell Dockett is a 3tech in their 4/3 and he keys everything. In a 4/3 the 3tech and the MLB plus the SS work together to stop the run. Everyone else must be solid.
The 3/4 requires much more from the DT heis the nose of the defense and every OC or offense knows in prder to run on a 3/4 you have to control the NT. In a 4/3 the 3tech eliminates that if he’s talented he can wreack havoc while you spend time tring to get push on the UT. The concept is just the opposite.
September 24th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
You guys are still living in 70’s if you think players are coming off the bus intimidated by our team.
That stupid penalty almost cost us the game. RoMac needs to lay someone out a little bigger than that guy and as for cheap shots leave them where they belong…..to the Denver Donkeys. The way you be tough is to ram the damn ball down the other teams throat, tell the other team we are going to do this and then do it….force your will. As for MM, he’s a idiot, let’s use him as a battering ram.
September 24th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
Bauce you fightin again? lol
September 24th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Priest,
Based on recent history, running by committee hasn’t really panned out. Dmac got 20 carries vs. Tenn and did very well. Got 30 carries vs. Rams and did outstanding. Splitting ball carrying means both (or 3) backs can never fully take the team on their (sole) shoulders. Again, I blame TC (and the silent partner OC) for his over utilization of Fargus, at the expense of MB and Dmac. I say we stay with what has been working: Use Dmac like Tenn use CJ, or like Minn use AP. Ask him to take us to the promised zone.
September 24th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
The HOF is literred with great 3techs there are no NT’s in the HOF and I’m talking about the best in history. Louis Kelcher and all the rest like Tim Krumrie all of them but there are tons of 3techs in the HOF. They’re the ones that go to probowls and have great stats. The 4/3 is keyed by the 3tech not the UT.
The 3/4 is a NT based Dfensive front. He keys everything, Aubreyo Franklin types who allow everyone else to make plays. As great as he is no one talks about him, they talk about the MLB Willis. Most people don’t even know who he is.

Yeah but this is a different time and the Raiders have always had 2 great backs. These tw are no different you get much more out of them because they’re fresh and the defense has to prepare for their different styles. These 2 are soo different that they will help each others keep the defense off balance. Trying to gage Bush’s strength after chasing DMC is a striking contrast.
It’s like trying to defend a running QB and a pocket QB. If we use them right it’s a tremendous advantage.

Man you guy’s still worried about a PF a week ago he did it, it’s over. Who’s dwelling on it us or YOU!!
His play will speak for itself as the season wears on, what he does from this point on is what matters.
************************************
LOL BHP…..we are 0-2 right? McClain lost the game for us……notice no one has any rebuttal for the 03 example of a LB being soft like Delawrence Grant or Kirk Morrison in 08 throwing guys to long TD plays instead of being brutes and yamming them to the the turf.
Had RoMac been soft like those two guys and the guy gets lose and runs for a TD then they will say RoMac is too soft…..but seriously SammytheTool’s argument style is quite familiar lol……it sounds like someone I know who hates the Raiders. Look at posts and see format of them and decipher who that may be lol
September 24th, 2010 at 11:55 pm
Right on time Bauce!! This youngster is changing laws in th middle of that defense. No fly zone!! if you coming you best bring your best………..period

LOL but this newbie idiot ,who is really a troll fronting out here, tries to downplay it. Someone is quite scared the Raiders are shaking alot of the soft crap that has plagued this defense for years. FEAR=SammytheTool

The HOF is literred with great 3techs there are no NT’s in the HOF and I’m talking about the best in history. Louis Kelcher and all the rest like Tim Krumrie all of them but there are tons of 3techs in the HOF. They’re the ones that go to probowls and have great stats. The 4/3 is keyed by the 3tech not the UT.
The 3/4 is a NT based Dfensive front. He keys everything, Aubreyo Franklin types who allow everyone else to make plays. As great as he is no one talks about him, they talk about the MLB Willis. Most people don’t even know who he is.
*************************************
BHP the 3 tech guy is a UT…..we aint talking about HOF….we talking about this team in 2010 having the best chance to have a stout defense
September 25th, 2010 at 12:04 am
I hear ya’
September 25th, 2010 at 12:08 am
BHP…..people are in fear of the Raiders turning it around…..SammytheTool is the latest example as he hides his true identity lol
Its funny how the idiot says he almost cost us the game on that play when we were up by 9 points then. Not like it was on a drive when they were about to go up and win the game lol
That is just nitpicking and doing a horrible job or hiding your hate for the Raiders. I can see through that BS
September 25th, 2010 at 12:08 am
I know I’m nolt downplaying the use of Big John, I saw what he did. I’m just saying the way this defense is designed it’s for Seymour to be dominant. I definitely think BJ is going to pay huge dividends. It’s just that I know why they gave Big Sey that money. He can make us a dominant defense with TK, BJ and this Alford kid rotating. Big John can’t play too many snaps you have to use him sparing to get he best out of him.
September 25th, 2010 at 12:09 am
Anyways……im bout to be out….gotta go to Fresno and move all my cousin’s shhht out her apartment. Why da hell do I always get stuck with the moving crap?….I dunno but JUST WIN………BAUCE!

I’m not sure about the ? but it seems ur talking about x49ers. In answer I never liked it myself but we seemed to think they had quality talent and we extended their careers foolishly IMO in most cases. their were only a few that really helped us. The rest were garbage.

Oh please only idiots want to give the other team 15 yard penalties at the end of a close game. I guaruntee you the coaches were pissed as hell. I like Rolando, count me a fan but he needs to stop pressing and acting stupid to please fans like you who think it’s okay to lose the game as long as we acted tough. Winning is the only thing that counts, priest put Al’s mantra where your mouth is.

Firebaby big game today!!
Battle of the winless: Rebels host New Mexico
Maybe New Mexico will again provide the relief UNLV so desperately needs.
The winless Lobos were just the tonic last season when the Rebels visited New Mexico and ended a streak of four straight losses — three by at least 20 points — with a 34-17 victory.
The Lobos are again winless, but so are the Rebels. Both enter today’s 7 p.m. kickoff at Sam Boyd Stadium with matching overall (0-3) and Mountain West Conference (0-1) records.
The Rebels used last season’s victory as a minor springboard; they won three of their final five games to finish 5-7.
“It was most certainly similar to the situation we’re in now,” UNLV running back Channing Trotter said. “We want to go in there and get a win, and hopefully it snowballs for the rest of the season.”
UNLV needs all the help it can muster, facing games the next two weeks against UNR and at West Virginia.

Theres more at the link I just pasted some parts
http://www.lvrj.com/sports/cardinal-s-luck–harbaugh-a-formidable-combination-103697889.html
At the end of this season, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck will have a decision to make.
It’s doubtful he will announce it during a one-hour special on ESPN.
It’s also doubtful his coach will try to talk him into staying in school. That’s because Jim Harbaugh will be faced with his own big decision.
Luck, a redshirt sophomore, is ready for the NFL, and so is Harbaugh.
If the Oakland Raiders are lucky enough to finish with the league’s worst record, maybe they can keep the Cardinal’s coach and quarterback in the Bay Area.
Out with Tom Cable and Jason Campbell/Bruce Gradkowski; in with Harbaugh and Luck. There could be hope for the Raiders.
Harbaugh has become as aggressive as anyone walking the sidelines. He stalks his prey and goes for the kill. He’s on the lunatic fringe. Ask Pete Carroll.
Remember last year, when Stanford went on the road and crushed Southern California, 55-21? With a 48-21 lead, Harbaugh went for a 2-point conversion. Carroll shouted, “What’s your deal?”
Carroll, another former run-up-the-score coach, bolted for the Seattle Seahawks. Harbaugh should join him in the NFL soon.
Harbaugh’s deal is to win big and show no mercy. In Stanford’s 68-24 victory over Wake Forest last week, Harbaugh challenged an incomplete pass late in the fourth quarter. He wanted the play to be ruled a Demon Deacons fumble. After all, he was protecting a 44-point lead.
We’re about to find out if Stanford, which has a trip to Oregon on deck, can rule the Pac-10. It definitely has the best quarterback.

Jeff Garcia sparks come-from-behind win for Nighthawks
Posted by Mike Florio on September 25, 2010 12:10 AM ET
The Omaha Nighthawks, a brand-new UFL team stocked with former NFL players in uniforms that conjure memories of the Mean Machine from the Adam Sandler remake of The Longest Yard, made a big splash in their Friday night debut before more than 23,000 Nebraska fans.
The record crowd saw quarterback Jeff Garcia throw a 12-yard touchdown pass to receiver Robert Ferguson with only six seconds on the clock. With the extra point, the Nighthawks took their first lead of the game — and erased a 23-10 deficit they faced at the start of the fourth quarter for the 27-26 victory.
Per Eric Olson of the Associated Press, the game also featured the pro debut of Maurice Clarett, who has returned to football after a failed NFL stint and a successful incarceration. Clarett returned a kickoff and nearly blocked a punt.
Garcia, who completed 23 of 39 passes for 226 yards, threw three touchdown passes on the night, outdueling Josh McCown of the Colonials, who connected on 22 of 25 passes for 264 yards and two scores.
Former NFL tailback Ahman Green, 33, gained 49 yards on 12 carries for Omaha.
The game could have gone to overtime if Hartford kicker Taylor Melhaff hadn’t missed an extra point in the second quarter. Instead, the game generated the smallest margin of victory in UFL history — a record that will stand at least until the UFL incorporates the extremely rare 1/2-point play.
September 25th, 2010 at 8:15 am
If we have to own the worst record in the leaugue to end up with luck,than f$$$ k that.
We need to win now an keep winning as something that’s a standard around here.

Free Budweiser For 500,000 People
Posted: September 24, 2010 at 4:56 am
Print Email Subscribe Follow us on Twitter Anheuser-Busch InBev plans to give out 500,000 free samples of Budweiser beer over the next few weeks. The offer will target upscale bars and restaurants. According to Reuters, “In addition to the free samples, which Anheuser hopes will attract new drinkers, the company plans to reallocate most of its media spending to the Budweiser brand, which has been declining domestically for over 20 years.”
According to the new Interbrand study of the worlds most valuable brands, Budweiser is worth $12.3 billion. Part of the reason is traditional marketing, part is due to the brand’s success over decades, and part is due to its success with social media.
The “sample” school of marketing has created a multitude of programs over the years. Food stores often give away free samples. Large consumer products companies including Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) offer free samples of detergent through the mail. There are dozens of “free sample” sites listed in a Google search of the term. Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) has a website that offers product samples without cost ranging from music to mouthwash to over-the-counter medicines.
Anheuser-Busch is taking very little risk with its program. Although shipments of the beer are down, it still holds more than 50% of the US market. Regular drinkers of Bud may get a day’s free beer, but they will have to pay to get more.
Attracting upscale beer consumers is a challenge for Anheuser Busch. Heineken and Corona have corned much of the high-end of the market. Free samples are not likely to change that.

Plunk,
Sadly, the viewpoint in Lobo-land is that if they lose today, they might not win once all year, which would be good so they can fire coach Locksley and bring in Mike Leach.
That’s the rumor.
I expect UNLV to run the ball and score more points, UNM will probably play a true freshman at QB, which should be a turnover or two.
UNLV 32-UNM 21
Are you heading out here? And is where you live as hot as this joint? It was 106 yesterday!!!!

Raiders – 27
Cards- 16
September 25th, 2010 at 8:31 am
Leach would be a great fit, almost anywhere.
That poor fella from Wyoming didnt know what he was getting into at UNLV. I remember going to some great games when Cunningham was playing. Then I thought for sure the great John Robinson would do for Football what the Tark did for BB.
But nothing at all.
I will take a miracle to make Rebs a contender in football
I am in the mts. 76 right now. 106 is one reason I doubt if I will get off my lazy butt and ride down there.

From Bill Simmons week 3 picks:
CHIEFS (+2.5) over Niners
Did you know we’re living in a world in which Darrius Heyward-Bey has twice as many catches and receiving yards as Michael Crabtree? Take a bow, Al Davis!
(Hold on, I’ll help you up.)
(That’s it, hold on to my shoulder, you can push off me, that’s fine.)
(Wait a second, why aren’t you moving?)

September 25th, 2010 at 9:11 am
I thought McClain’s “body slam” was embarrassing. Several reasons:
1. It was a certain and costly penalty.
2. It was a move that any LB would be able to inflict on a little WR like that any time they wanted.
3. Much like a late hit or any other obvious roughing penalty, they don’t typically fire up the defense. If they do then it must be a totally undisciplined group. On the contrary they often fire up the offense because they perceive it as a cheap shot.
4. He made it worse by acting the fool afterward, waving his hands and calling for the crowd, when he should have realized he’d just cost the team.
Having said all that, RoMac is a rookie and I don’t hold it against him. Presumably he learns from this and looks to make a big hit or greater impact in a more traditional fashion this week.

Q: Do players get a cut of jersey sales with their name and number?
Brad in Adelaide, South Australia
A: First of all, I had no idea there was a “South” Australia. Interesting. As for your question, yes, players do get a cut of their jersey sales when someone buys it at the team store or orders it online. I got one check for 48 cents during my career, so I hope the one person who ever actually bought a Ross Tucker jersey is enjoying it and realizing what a limited-edition item he or she truly possesses.

I have wondered about this myself. Am I glad I never bought a Jawalrus jersey.

A successful team needs respected leaders in the locker room especially a young team like ours. The D has Seymour and Nnamdi. The O doesn’t have proven guys but Gradkowski could fill that void by making the O accountable and continued consistent play

Just can’t see how the Cardinals will compete with us on Sunday. Garbage QB, garbage O-Line, injured receivers and no D. In the past, teams like this found a way to get well against us. We’ve got to stomp on their throats early.
