Kelly shrugs off defensive ranking
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 at 1:06 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly seemed amused when asked about the Raiders’ status as the No. 2 (tied) ranked defense in the NFL.
The same stat caught the attention of Houston coach Gary Kubiak, who made mention of it more than once while talking with Bay Area reporters.
Through three games, Oakland is giving up 260.7 yards per game _ tied with Green Bay for second place behind Baltimore (244.3).
“We’ve got to play more attention to detail, a little more focus on every snap,” Kelly said. “We’re really good, stop, stop, stop _ then they pop one. That’s frustrating.”
Yet through three games, anyway, yardage is undeniably down.
“It’s down, but what’s the end result?,” Kelly said. “You’re still walking off that field with your head between your legs, so hurt because you lost. I mean, we’re getting better, y’all can see that. But we’ve got a long way to go before we’re a No. 1 defense.”
If the Raiders can actually maintain their defensive ranking after facing Houston, Kelly will be more impressed. The Texans are fourth in the NFL in total offense (407.0 yards per game) _ one of only teams averaging the same figure the Raiders have attained exactly once in the last 77 games.
The Texans have one of the NFL’s top passers in Matt Schaub, and a sudden star in running back Arian Foster, who emerged from practice squad obscurity and leads the league with 406 yards rushing.
“I think, if we slow these boys down it’ll be a little more indication of how we is as a defense,” Kelly said. “This is a big opportunity. You say you’re the No. 2, No. 3 defense in the league, let’s see it on Sunday.
Mario knows Mario
Mario Henderson is struggling to hold on to his starting job at left tackle, splitting time with rookie Jared Veldheer.
Not exactly the best time to face with Mario Williams, the No. 1 pick of the 2006 draft and one of the premiere players at his position against both the run and pass.
Or maybe it’s the perfect time.
Henderson got his first NFL start in Week 16 against Williams, replacing Kwame Harris at left tackle. He effectively controlled Williams throughout the game, and it remains one of Henderson’s best games as a starting lineman.
“Normally guys his size don’t have that much speed and quickness, and that’s the thing that makes him different from almost every guy in the league is the fact that most guys that are tall like him are kind of slow, but he’s extremely quick and has very long arms,” Henderson said. “He knows how to use all three, size speed and quickness.”
Having some success in the bank can’t hurt.
“I just go back and watch film and kind of know how to play him a little bit,” Henderson said. That’s a good thing. I can use that.”
Seabass: Bad hold
Sebastian Janikowski headed directly to his locker and waited for a group of reporters to finish talking to Zach Miller, figuring he’d be better off answering quesitons about one of the low points of his professional career than avoiding it.
As they started to arrive, Janikowski said, looked at Shane Lechler and said, “Bad hold!,” an indication he hasn’t lost his sense of humor.
Lechler’s hold on the 32-yard field goal attempt, as well as on Janikowski’s other three misses, was perfect.
“I was disappointed, I mean shocked, you know? It happens,” Janikowski said. “I can’t change anything but, going into warm-ups, like I was talking to Shane, I was 20-for-20, with 63-yarders both way. And, you go in the game you feel so good about it, ah, I can make any kick. And this thing happens. So, you’ve just gotta move on. Next page.”
Said Janikowski of the support he received from coach Tom Cable as well as his teammates: “It’s nice to know I’ve got guys behind me. I’ve got to apologize to everybody _ Al Davis, the players, the fans. So, you know, come home this weekend, and kick a winner.”
Recalling a game in 2001 when he missed three three field goal attempts and the Raiders lost 13-10, Janikowski mused, “Every 10 years, something happens.”
Pre-practice notes
As warmups and drills concluded, there was no sign of right guard Robert Gallery (hamstring), defensive tackle Richard Seymour (hamstring) and wide receiver Chaz Schilens knee.
Those on the field but not practicing included wide receiver Louis Murphy and wide receiver and safety Hiram Eugene (hamstring). Murphy left the Arizona game briefly after catching a 70-yard pass, later returned, and there was no mention of injury at the time.
Defensive tackle John Henderson was suited up and on the field, although he was spending some time with a trainer who was working on his injured foot. Chris Johnson, inactive against Arizona with an ankle injury, was suited up and going through drills.
There appears to be a new addition to the practice squad, a linebacker wearing No. 51. The Raiders have not yet released a name to go with the number. Not present wsa Quentin Scott, No. 56, signed to the practice squad last week.

Are you too afraid to post the answer, or are you blatantly using selective memory?

Louis Murphy missed Raiders practice Wednesday with an undisclosed injury.
Vittorio Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle points out that Murphy missed “a few plays” in the Raiders’ Week 3 loss, and the receiver wasn’t targeted on Oakland’s 11-play drive to end the game. The extent of the injury is unknown, but the emerging fantasy starter should be monitored this week.

…………
Nice try. Like I told your test tube twin, Gradkowski proved on his FIRST DRIVE this season that he is far better than Russell. Just marched the team downfield and scored. This is Gradkowski’s first year under Jackson’s system, too. But keep reaching. It’s fun to watch.

Andre Johnson (ankle) reiterated Wednesday that he is preparing as if he’s going to start Sunday against the Raiders.
He plans to try to run on Thursday. Johnson routinely squares off with Nnamdi Asomugha when the Texans play the Raiders, and A.J. has managed lines of 2/66/0, 2/19/0, and 1/9/0 against Oakland over the past four seasons. It’s not a terrible idea to sit Johnson at less than 100 percent in the matchup.

BY THE WAY IF YOU KNOW FOOTBALL, (AND IT SEEMS LESS AND LESS LIKLY THAT YOU DO) WHEN A QB CHANGES TEAMS IT NORMALLY TAKES HIM A FULL SEASON BEFORE HE SHOWS WHAT HE CAN DO!
………….
If you knew football you would have seen Gradkowski prove, on his first drive two weeks ago, that he’s better than Russell. He showed leadership skills in that drive that proved he’s better than Russell. Campbell is yet to do it. I asked you to give one example of Campbell proving he’s better than Russell, since he’s been to Oakland. You keep coming up with these excuses like him only playing 6 quarters. Gradkowski proved on his FIRST DRIVE this season he’s better than Russell. And before you pull the “new system” excuse out of your ass, let me remind you that this is Gradkowski’s first year with Jackson, as well. You’re a stupid liar and you’re just getting abused right now. Your only move here is to quit. But if you want to keep entertaining me with these desperate stretches to save Campbell face, be my guest. Bottom line is that he is a dips’t QB. An arm and nothing else. And, I’ll say it again, since he’s been here he’s dong NOTHING to demonstrate that he’s better than Russell. It’s so fun to watch you dance around that. Keep doing it. For my entertainment.
September 29th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
You dont read my post do you? After 6 quarters it was determined that jc doesnt have a firm enough grasp of the system, so he was replaced by grads. After listnening to hue jack im ok with that. This is not the same as saying grads is a better qb! this means that in the interim, for the time being, and at the moment grads gives us a better chance to win. FOR THE LAST TIME, MY POINT IS IN THE LONG RUN CAMPBELL WILL PROVE TO BE BETTER THAN GRADS HERE IN OAKLAND. SIMPLY A MATTER OF LEARNING THE OFFENSE AND THE PLAYERS AROUND HIM. GRADS IS A STOP GAP, A BAND AID, A STUNT DOUBLE, A SECOND BANNANA!

Sorry, my friend but Jason was not benched because of his lack of understanding of the system. They mave simplified the playbook for him, but he got pulled because of the lack of energy on the field.

“It’s down, but what’s the end result?,” Kelly said. “You’re still walking off that field with your head between your legs, so hurt because you lost. I mean, we’re getting better, y’all can see that. But we’ve got a long way to go before we’re a No. 1 defense.”

======================================================
Not at all bra, I missed the question. Being that football is a team game it is sometimes a little unfair to pin the failure of an entire team on one mans shoulders. Even garbagekowski is not the sole reason we lost on sunday.
Even so jc has led his team to the playoffs, where grads hasnt even been able to hold a starting job, and he has played for teams with no qb to speak of. Seriously if you are a good qb, how do you lose out jassysurp, tim rattay, derik anderson, charli fry, chris simms and the like?
Game after game he is giving more and more evidence that supports my claim, if you are innaccurte, weak armed, and make poor reads and decisions, you cant be a long term starter.
September 29th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
If we can have a top defensive outing against Houston we will win. I’m moreso looking at the ability to limit mistakes we control.

Romanowski is back…he couldn’t stand to see Poles on Offense, and Special Teams…with none on Defense.

Simple question, so how about a simple answer rather than your rambles?
What is JC’s record for W/L in the nfl?
You have yet to answer that. oh btw, you dont want to go down the road of the playoff thing with JC. JFB has already debunked that achievement.

Its tough staying on top and no team does it. They dont usually have the terrible run we have had but they all spend time in the celler.

Um, when? The year the Redskins went to the playoffs, Campbell was replaced (due to injury) by Todd “wanna call him Tom” Collins.
Campbell has lost 4 straight before being replaced by Collins who won four straight to close the season.
Campbell led the team to 4-12 last year and 8-8 the year before (after starting 6-2, I believe).

I said it once and I’ll say it again………
Only three of Oakland’s 13 trips inside of the red zone have resulted in touchdowns. The Raiders are ranked 30th in touchdown efficiency. That says a lot about our team. Who is to blame? Hue Jackson? Coach Cable? Grads? We need touchdowns to win games and not fg’s.

How sad is it that Mistic and JB can’t give one example of Campbell doing anything this year to prove he’s better than Russell? LOL. Russell is one of the worst QBs to ever play the game. And they can’t name one thing Campbell’s done to just prove he’s better than him. Yet they keep insisting he should start over Gradkwoski, who proves he’s better than Russell every time he steps on the field. They have reached priest level of stupidity.

You are embarrassing yourself. Yes grads and and campbell have spent the same amount of time under hue jack. Grads picked it up faster….and? Grads has played poorly over the last two games. Clearly the inaccurate passing and poor decision making is evident.I never made a “new system” excuse, I said in time he will get it and when he does he will be better than grads.
Im still struggling to understand this comparison between jc and russell, and what it has to do with the price of malt liquor in oakland. I dont know how to break the news to you, but russell is out of the league! You are making less and less sense with each purple drank drenched post.

Jason Campbell was 4-12 last year and despite having decent numbers (20 TD – 10 INT), the team averaged almost the same PPG than what he Raiders have with Gradkowski starting.
I posted all the numbers yesterday if anyone cares to put in the legwork.
The statistical breakdown led to one conclusion:
Campbell has more starts, TDs, and wins, however based on what each player did last year, they are almost i a dead heat when averaging Grad over the course of a season.
Therefore, conclusion is, if they’re statistally even, who gives you the best chance to win, who has more leadership, who has the most trust of team, who takes more chances?

Campbell can throw a ball a hundred yards…what good is it if he’s too stupid to read defenses and get rid of the ball quick?

Pocket presence????? The guy has no pocket presence. How do you explain the strip-sack fumble that could have ended the game? Shouldn’t he have “felt” the guy coming? Lol!

I expect to see one run back this Sunday and good field position all day long thanks to the greatest punter/longsnapper combo in the history of the universe

Getting pressure on the quarterback will be key for the Raiders, they must play aggressive and can’t play a soft zone or Schaub will eat them up.

These guy’s are crazy, it’s there way of excusing everything Grads does wrong. They want to see him as a heaven sent player to rid the Raiders of all the evila of Russell and anyone who they perceive reminds them of Russell.
It’s petty and ridiculous, Campbell is Campbell Russell is Russell and Gradkowski is Gradkowski. We needed Grads because Campbell was obviously stuggling with his familiarity but in no way has Grads distinguished himself. He hasn’t looked anything like a bonafide starter but he has given us hope that he might be if he continues to improve.
All the comparisons with JC for 6qrtrs of football is ridiculous. If that’s all they were going to give him from the start we never should’ve traded for him. If Grads was so great we never have had to. Grads needs to show Sunday that they made the right decision and he deserves to stay the starter.

I think Campbell should have been given more of an opportunity to establish himself in Oakland, but Tom Cable knows his own days are short and he can’t afford to go through “growing pains” with Campbell, so he went with the guy that he believes give him the best shot to win some games right now.
I can’t say that I blame him for doing so…but to think Garbagekowski is anything more than a band-aid solution is just crazy talk. If Campbell doesn’t work out we are back to square one at the QB spot…with no first round pick….and no decent FA QBs next year that I know of…NOT GOOD.

So Drew Brees gave the Saints every reason to lose as well last Sunday,right? After all he threw two interceptions. Not almost interceptions like you keep saying about Bruce. But actual interceptions.
Even though he drove the team into scoring range at the end just like Bruce did. Evan though N.O’s kicker missed the game winner from point blank range, just like ours did.
But the blame for the Saints loss should go on Brees and not their kicker because of the two picks that he threw, right? The Saints released the wrong guy right?

ProFootballTalk.com is reporting of a rumored trade that would send Oakland Raiders receiver Randy Moss to the Green Bay Packers for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Apparently trade talks between the Raiders and Packers for Moss are back on again. This rumor has the Raiders asking for a first rounder for Moss and the Packers countering with Aaron Rodgers.

Gary Kubiak learned well how to coach against the Raiders when he was under Shanahan in Denver.
You butter them up before the game, calling them the best team they have ever faced, with the greatest team speed, and then go on sunday and beat their collective raider mystique.
Over these last 7 years, how many coaches have used that same technique to their advantage? And it always works like a brocken record. LOL.
Cable and his coaches should point that out to their players so they dont get cocky and arrogant.
You have to leave the press behind and play football.
Being 1-2 but with a top defense means NADA!!.
I prefer being 2-1 with a last place defense.

September 29th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
I like to think of it this way. In baseball, you hope your starting pithcher goes deep so you can turn it over to the closer.
Kind of like how I feel. BG took the game deep to turn over to the closer, and Mr. Jano blew the save.
Even Rivera blows one once in awhile.
However, Grads may not of had a great game, but he put the Raiders in a position to win. It came down to that. The kicker blew the save. Happens.
Doesn’t matter what us bloggers think about who’s better at qb or not, the coaches (Al too) have the final say (no matter how bright they may not be). Obviously Grads enthusiasm and quick feet and leadership make up for a lot of other qualities he may not have and thats something that has not been present for some time. The coaches think so, and I can go with that.

That’s what wins football games not yardage and stats, TD’s win games. The rest is for losers. We struggled to beat the Rams and lost a game that was easily winnable. Due to the fact that he missed wide open recievers. Now Janikowski bailed him out with that miss and takes the pressure off Grads in the eyes of the fans. But in the eyes of the coaches he didn’t deliver when he had the chance.

Never Worship A Mortal God.
Raiders fans are famously attached to their team. They’re also notoriously detached from reality. After another subpar season in Oakland, the local faithful are still praying for deliverance—which would be better news if Al Davis were a deity worth appealing to.
Devotion means holding to a steady course.
Delusion, on the other hand, means clinging to a sinking ship.

The point I’m making is that no no one BLAMED Brees for losing that game, even though over all he did not have a good performance. Because he put them in a position to win at the end when it counted.
So if Brees isn’t being blamed for their loss, then you can’t blame Grads for our loss because he put us in a position to win when it counted.
Now is that something you guys can comprehend, or do I need to spell it out for you some more?

From John Herrera, a personal spokesperson for Mr. Davis. Believe me if he says it, it’s probably as close to the truth as yu’ll get. He represents the org. So Lofton is indeed being interviewed by Kiffin I think that puts to rest any speculation of Kiffin leaving. His interviewing Lofton is to assess Lofton offensive phylosophy and to make sure that it’s a fit.
So there you have it no more need for speculation or rumors it’s a done deal. Herrers reported that there was never any issue as to Kiffin being in fired and this as much proof as anyone with a brain should require but you just watch, that would put a damper on the medias spin that Kiffin was in truble and things got patched up.

Bruce Campbell also isn’t ready, but one has to wonder how much worse he could be than Super Mario or Langston, but this line hasn’t been terriblesince the opener,although there is laarrrrge room for improvement in pass protection, and if Dmac can continue to pick up the blitz like he’s done so far, that will help

4 seconds?? RUN A PLAY IN 4 SECONDS? and then have time to kick a FG? lol….geez…
I agree with running one more play, there was actually 35 seconds on the clock, 3rd down, I kept yelling give Dmac 1 more carry to get it closer… they ran the clock down to 4 secs, called a timeout, and the rest is ugly history.

Hey dumbell did they keep him or is he gone………..the point is I was RIGHT!!
September 29th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
Btw, Saints signed Carney (Kicker). Relegating Hartley to kick-off duties. On notice, putting onus on player to improve, accountability.
I wouldn’t think us doing the same would be bad. Send that message out that accountability at all positions.
Janikowski relegated to kick-off duties and kicks outside 50. Swayze Waters signed for 18-49 yarders. Puts the onus on Janikowski to improve. You’re not on this team “no matter what” and can slack off. Every Monday you have to be out there kicking etc, you’re fighting for a roster spot with another kicker.

You ask some dumb questions Raiderman99 have you ever heard anyone say Russell is not talented?
Ray Charles can see Russell has unlimited talent. It’s just his application and maturity that they question. If you can’t see the obvious talent it wont do you any good for me to tell you.
Russell highly touted, Grads wasn’t even touted he was a small school hope he can. He’s a backup QB in anyones book. Except the geniuses in here.

Grads will make them play Russell again before the year is out. He just can’t get it done at a hig enough level. He has no potential for greatness. Russell has a ton of potential he just needs to realize that.

You stupidly sat here night after night, you and TJ patting each other on the head, so happy to have someone to share in the misery, predicting glory for Russell (you remember, right, Oakglenn? “JR is a BONIFIED NFL QB’??

He could have taken one more shot at the endzone if that was the case.
September 29th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
No it doesn’t mean you were right, it means he’s still on the team, warranted or not. I read this blog quite a bit, but don’t post much.. for someone who claims to watch so much film and be such an astute talent evaluator, that is one of the most asinine statements ever to say that guy is a keeper. Stevie Brown in 2 preseason games and 2 special teams tackles has had far more positive impact on this team already than Hiram in hs whole Raider career. Get over yourself man that’s dumber than a brainless horse to suggest he’s a keeper.
September 29th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
Dick-o-schyt you tranny,
I’ll say it again…
Janoslobski should be cut! At the very least they should bring someone into camp to compete with him.
He was a number 1 pick, he is a veteran, he is the highest paid kicker in the history of the NFL.
He came into the league with problems, 10 years later he still has problems, he has missed 5 kicks in 3 games. He never feels like his job is threatened, he never has any legitimate competition in camp, he rarely practices in camp, and so his focus is not what it should be.
That’s not what I want from my franchise kicker.
It starts with accountability.
Now lets talk about your used to be favorite team…
The Phony Niners. And let’s talk about that sissy Craptree’s performance THIS SEASON you mental midget.
Craptree-6 Receptions 81 yards
DHB-10 Receptions 140 yards
I think DHB is outplaying “The Steal Of The Draft” Crabtree so far this season.
At least if you’re capable of counting, which I doubt seriously. Piece of schyt.

Tell us again, TJ, how you state on one hand that you just know someone who works for the Raiders, but post the following?
Blackholepriest Says:
January 28th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Copenhagen, all I can say is what I’m hearing is nothing concrete. I don’t want to put my signature on anything that’s not factual that I know for sure. I think Big Al really likes Kiffin but he wants Kiffin to LOVE the Raiders. It’s just the way he is and I can’t explain it any other way. If Kiffin would make his intentions clear then Mr. Davis would relax. That’s how I know him to be he wants his coaches to be like Rob Ryan in love with that team. Then he knows he’ll get their best work.
You can’t describe the passion he has for the Raiders and if someone that he relies on doesn’t give him that it just doesn’t compute with him. That’s why it’s so tenuous. But my gut feelings are that Kiffin is here, Lofton is his insurance that if Kiffin is somehow gone that he has a capable replacement.
I just spoke with John Herrera and for a fact Kiffin is conducting the interview with Lofton. But things still need to be worked out with respect to what his responsibilities are. Now this was while I was writing this post so take it for what it’s worth.
And I never give info like this but something needed to be done. Hopefully it doesn’t bite me in the rear.

I’ll tell you what, to civily discuss this, please give me your breakdown based on what you’ve seen to suggest Hiram is a keeper, and I’ll offer you what I see, let’s talent evaluate, because cleary your normal approach is to call someone competent enough to see through your BS an idiot or dummy, let the debate prove who really knows what they’re talking about

Either let the coaches coach and stfu or admit when your idiotic posts are called as a pair of dueces compared to a full house. AGAIN being on the roster doesn’t mean he’s a keeper. It means he’s still on the team for the right or wrong reasons.

DHB leads the league is pass interference penalties drawn.
It’s his main talent.
September 29th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
Can we stop now with the DHB / craptree comparisons. Craptree may have more natural pass catching talent but it’s wasted because he’s a me first player and not a team guy what-so-ever. Have you seen him try to tackle or block? OMG!! he’s a freakin puss! Now, for the last time— DHB > Craptree. The verdict is in. next subject…

Cable mismanaged that game at the end. He had Jano kick it on 3rd down with 4 seconds in the game.
He could have taken one more shot at the endzone if that was the case.
_______________________________________________________
Piece-o-schyt has a penchant for misquoting people and using half truths and stories.
I DID make a mistake in saying that Jano would have had an extra attempt if they missed. You guys hear me, I WAS WRONG. Great.
But my main point was that Cable wasted 35 seconds and a down, when they should have taken a shot into the end zone or designed a play for DMAC to get closer.
They thought that Jano making the kick was a gimme, even though he was clearly having a bad game.
Clock and game mismanagement from the coaches.
Kind of like how your dad mismanaged his seed when he impregnated your mom and had you, Piece-o-schyt.
Freakin tranny.
September 29th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
If you’re way of proving you’re right is to point to every move the coaching staff makes to validate your points, then you should eat the crow and stfu when they do the opposite of what you say. It’s extremely hypocritical to tell others to let the coaces and organization make the calls, then get on here and biotch about what you think they should do and what mistakes are being made… o and fyi, I partially agree with you about Bruce and his mistakes, but fact of the matter is JC wasn’t going to get it done, he looked completely shell shocked out there. Maybe later down the line he’ll get it together and be ready to lead this team, but he reminds me alot of David Carr right now, the potential was there, but the constant turnover, losing, and poor line play in front of him may have ruined him permanently unfortunately.

Players and Coaches shouldn’t be allowed to say anyting to reporters unless they win. “We’ve got to do this, we’ve got to do that” these guys ahve been saying all the same crap for the last eight years and they haven’t done any of it yet.
September 29th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Listen loud mouth the coaches are pros what’s your credentials that I should even dignify anything YOU say fool. If you want to talk smack talk to smack talkers I talk facts. I put my stuff out there for everyoen to criticise as they see fit.
So who the hell are you?, other than a keyboard smack talking loud mouth. I made many predictions based on what I see and the proof is on the field. Most of the players I say will make it make it…………..period

You nerds wouldn’t be so worried about Jano’s missed FG if you had been hanging out on my Reggae Party Boat. Seriously, I missed the entire first half because these twins from Ecuador were taking turns swallowing frozen bananas.
Anyway I’ll be in Ojai this weekend for the game, keeping it real like Young MC used to do.
If any of you dorks make it out the Village Jester on Sat night, I’ll be the dude macking on the masseuse from the Ojai Valley Inn near the bathrooms.

September 29th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
Point well taken, you don’t have jack chit other than the fact he’s on the roster. I’m not a keyboard smack talker, but enough is enough. Your ridiculous double standerd holier than though bs is over the top and quite frankly sad. What gives you the credentials to say it’s a fact? I’m asking for your facts as to what he provides to the team. You’re preaching to the choir telling me the coaches are pros, I know that. your nor I are pros, but since we’re debating it, tell me what you see, I’ll tell you what I see, and we can move on and discuss other things. you can chose to respond or not, but your tirades about who you should and shouldn’t dignify when you speak to everyone as though you’re some blogging know it all show’s who the real fool is. Anyone who doesn’t agree with you suddenly has no credentials for you to even enter a discussion.. how sad

so does sam williams, so did james jett, what’s your point? that doesn’t make them keepers man. let’s be real. just because a player continues to be on the roster doesn’t mean they’re a keeper. yes the fact is he’s on the roster. it’s also a fact he does not positively contribute to this football team. so again, I ask, can you tell me what makes him a keeper? Nnamdi is a keeper if you want an example to refrence

lol armchair, I’m not attacking, I really want to know what this man sees that makes this scrub a keeper… what I see is a waste of space taking a roster spot of someone who could potentially develope into something for us, we’ve seen what Hiram has to offer, and frankly it’s not very much good at all
September 29th, 2010 at 3:45 pm

Eugene is simply a hold-over roster spot of the last few Raiders years of Al Davis scholarships.
Same with a lot of our OL depth/starters.
September 29th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Listen Boy you came at me as if you know it all. I don’t know who you are never seen your name. If you had came a little more correct you would’ve got my respect. Don’t come at me whoffin’ then flip the scrip.
I gave a full scouting report on the kid before anyone else had even seen him. The same is true with Chris Johnson the MYP candidate when people were laughing at me. That was B4 he was drafted evenB4 the scouting combine I old people what he could do. No one else knew him including most scouts(professional).
September 29th, 2010 at 3:48 pm

never came at you as though I know it all, but I do know you’re dead wrong about him being a keeper, kudos to you for digging chris johnson on here. but at the same time honestly, Hiram should go, and instead of bitterly holding on to the fact you thought he was a keeper, if you like myself want what’s best for the team, that guy should be gone. fyi, thanks feels good to be young, can you call me boy again?

I’ve already addressed this post idiot, little drag queen.
But since you have a missing chromosome, I’ll do it again.
I addressed comment about taking a field goal on 3rd down. I also made it clear that I was saying that Cable should have taken one more shot at the endzone or at least to get closer when there were 35 SECONDS on the clock you chimp!
Now I have a question for you, and of course you will dodge it….
Who’s your favorite football team?
Now dodge the question and prove me right. Idiot.
September 29th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
When we start phasing out those scholarship players with better football IQ players who stand a chance to actually be productive and push for a starting job, then the Raiders win more games.
Davis been wasting like 4+ roster spots on the 53 on players with ‘talent’ but not developing, not pushing, year after year, and that’s a lot of roster spots to waste.
S.Williams, M.Mitchell, Carlisle, Eugene, right now, are in question.
September 29th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
TJ, you sound like one of those weird old dudes who opens the door for me at 7-11.

Priest-
I’m a stand up dude. I was all for Veldheer over Satele and obviously he wasn’t ready for that kind of pressure. So you were right about that.
Granted, he had one game, sorta like Campbell did, yet some of you guys in here feel like Campbell should have been given half a season to fail at a position he’s played for years, but yet Veldheer had one game and is already a bust at center.
It’s that kinda a double standard that I’m talkin about.
Guys come in here and make excuses for their favorite players like they’re getting a commission over certain guys playing or not.
Call it even across the board, call for legitimate competition at every position, and let the best men stay on the field. Bottom line!

September 29th, 2010 at 4:11 pm
Just on Veldheer, I’ve never said he should be LT. Nor Center. I’m high on him, but at RT or RT/RG. Satele is still not a good enough Center.
For now, given current roster, an OL line-up like…
Bruce-Gallery-Satele-Walker-Veldheer
Is what I’d do.
With backups of..
Barnes-Loper-??-Carlisle-Henderson
If we did that you’d see a marked improvement. There’ll be some growing pains for that line-up, but with an OL, it’s like a rock band….you have to get the right personnel mix, in the right spots, the right chemistry etc.
Cable is at fault, in my armchair GM opinion, because he’s constantly chopping and changing it, but not putting the right guys in the right spots. Bruce’s talent/physique/skill-set is clearly LT. Veldheers is clearly RT or RT/RG. Henderson is RT. Walker RG. Gallery RT/OG. Satele is a good back-up Center. Carlisle is not talented. Pears is a good FA signing when injuries occur.
We need to still draft a starting Center, or trade for a legitimately good one now, need to sign/draft another LT, and we have enough OG/RT depth our OL play would drastically improve.
I hold firm to the Bruce LT and Veldheer RT/RG theory. If Im to be criticized at all, that’s what it’d be based on if we ever got to see Cable putting that OL in.

Arizona had plenty of chances too, and made a lot of mistakes. Mistakes, missed opportunities, etc. happen in EVERY NFL game.
It came down to the highest paid kicker in the league making a chip shot to make us 2-1. He failed. Yes, it does happen, but so do 5-11 seasons because of a team being demoralized because of choking away a chance to steal a win.
