DHB joins Murphy as questionable
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, October 1st, 2010 at 1:10 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey joined Louis Murphy on the Raiders injury report with a groin strain.
Both were listed as questionable, although Cable remained optimistic they would be able to play against Houston Sunday.
“I think they’ll be all right,’’ Cable said.
Only one wide receiver on the roster other than Heyward-Bey and Murphy has caught a pass for the Raiders through three games. Johnnie Lee Higgins has one reception for two yards and Yamon Figurs, since waived, has two catches for 17 yards.
With Chaz Schilens listed as out with a knee injury, Higgins, Jacoby Ford and Nick Miller are the remaining Raiders receivers on the depth chart.
Listed as out for the Raiders other than Schilens were LG Robert Gallery (hamstring), LB Ricky Brown (hamstring), LB Travis Goethel (lower back) and CB Walter McFadden (hamstring).
Those were questionable along with the starting wide receivers are defensive tackles Richard Seymour (hamstring) and John Henderson (foot), safety Hiram Eugene (hamstring) and cornerbacks Chris Johnson (ankle) and Jeremy Ware (ankle).
Listed as probable were RG Cooper Carlisle (knee), LG Daniel Loper (knee), right tackle Langston Walker (elbow), RB Michael Bush (thumb), FB Marcel Reece (neck) and LB Quentin Groves (ribs).
More to come . . .

This is not good at all….Is Cable Tryin to play games?

2nd?
October 1st, 2010 at 1:16 pm
We need to run the ball a lot.
October 1st, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Cooper should always be listed as Questionable…
Same goes for both DHB’s and Murphy’s hands…very questionable.
October 1st, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Maybe it’s Jacoby Ford’s coming out party! Higgins has had enough chances. Lets let the newbie come in and make some plays
October 1st, 2010 at 1:18 pm
The good news is DHB is leading Crabtree in receiving stats. The bad news is the both eat a dack.

Not that impressed, story line is unbelievable. Have not bothered to watch the second episode yet. Seems to have been over hyped IMO. Lets blame the five dead mafia gin runners on an out of work handyman, that beats his wife.
Young Al is the best part, and only for comic relief. Meh.

Ok, so maybe Nick Miller the Roster Spot Killer can actually show us what he can do.

Guys, we’re running out of options.. I mean, look at the injury list!
We’re just going to have to throw Chaz in there, and hope he can make something happen.

Who ???
October 1st, 2010 at 1:37 pm
if i had to guess….4.5/4.6? He probably knows where to be for the check downs…that makes him a decent backup WR at least. I hope we can pull out a win somehow. Let’s go raiders. don’t break my heart like last Sunday.

October 1st, 2010 at 1:42 pm
Going to have to get DMC and Ford involved in the passing game this weekend.
They better throw some screens to Bush also.
They need to do alot of mis direction plays like reverses and counters to keep the defense off balance.
WR bubble screens would be good…..Marcel Reece needs to be involved in the passing game also.
Defense going to need to pressure Schaub all day and create turnovers.
October 1st, 2010 at 1:43 pm
27. They need to use him more inthis capacity. Hue’s been a disappointment so far but can’t blame him too much yet.
Cambpell’s still learning the system and Grads has to do what he can do.
Switching O line guys all over the place every other play seesm to be stifling continuity too.
Ugh…

October 1st, 2010 at 1:47 pm
Hey. Would you do this trade? Bush for Hainthsworth straight up… With McFadden getting better each week Bush is going to see limited carrys anyway. Then we pick up Larry Johnson off the streets and see if he can be an occasional big pounder for us.
Hey don’t get me wrong, I like bush.

LOL. You guys are so technical. Why don’t you discuss the types of cleats the players wear?
October 1st, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Jerry: Seems like you will be going to your 4th, 5th and 6th WR this weekend. Are you comfortable with that?
Cable: Why do you say that?
Jerry: Well….uh…..the first three are deceased. Fatal injuries. Funeral services were Tuesday. So, who starts at WR?
Cable: We buried them with shovels. I expect they will dig their way out and, barring more hamstring injuries at Thursday practice, I’m sure they will play.
October 1st, 2010 at 1:56 pm
How the hell did Schillens hurt his knee anyway? It was his foot, it heals then his knee goes. Even if he comes back next week he’s not going to be effective until after the bye. he has been one of my 2 biggest disapointments of the season. Jano is the other one.

This game has the makings of the classic Raiders laying and egg at home that we have seen for the past couple of years.
Texans will be up by something like 2TD’s and a FG at the half or something.
Texans 17 Raiders 3 at the half.
Then the Raiders will score one more TD in the 3rd quarter, but it will be too late cause the defense inexplicably lets Foster shred them in the 2nd half.
Seen all this crap before. I would love to be proven wrong though.
With Grads at QB, this team usually fights until the end however.
October 1st, 2010 at 1:57 pm
OK, Gradkowskiraider. How about if Jano wears baseball spikes on his plant foot when kicking off the dirt at the Coliseum?
October 1st, 2010 at 1:58 pm
Frank – The dirt is gone! No mas diamante!!!!!

October 1st, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Guess Jano can “hang up his spikes”.
October 1st, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Word on Shillens knee was, “He worked so hard to get back before the foot was completely healed that he favored the foot and put more stress on the opposite knee, thus causing the knee damage.”. Had a buddy did the same in HS.
October 1st, 2010 at 2:06 pm
These injuries are really starting to pile up.
Texans 24 – 13
October 1st, 2010 at 2:08 pm
Schilens should of never played last year his foot was never healed… He had surgery on it in march it takes 6 to 8 months to heal from that kind of injury and we have him practice 2 months early and was over compensating for a bum foot and his knee goes out…>Its all a conspiracy…The dudes a great guy and have had some good laughs with him but man ur killin me Chaz
October 1st, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Titans 44
Raiders 0
Jano’s muff last week reminded everyone who’s in charge, and that their efforts to turn things around are futile as long as scholarship players are in the lineup. They’ve all quit. I can feel it. Just buy the overall tone of the interviews, etc.
October 1st, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Make that Texans 44, Raiders 0, not Titans.
October 1st, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Let’s start Bush @ RB, DMC @ slot receiver (mostly on slant, screen,& flats), Jacoby @ #2 WR, JLH @ #1 WR, Nick Miller #3 WR!

how about we start DMC at HB, bring him in motion to the slot on certain plays, get ZMill off the traditional down TE spot and move him into the slot on certain possesions and use our best weapons to keep the defense off balance…just a thought
October 1st, 2010 at 2:16 pm
will one of these wideouts ever catch a slant?

RAY: you’re #3 WR is your slot receiver
so you’d have to pick one (Ford, NMiller) if Higgins starts
DMAC is on pace for a Pro Bowl season as a running back … you don’t move him to slot receiver just because he has good hands, too.

Certainly not practicing red zone plays or properly evaluating players..with JC and Yamon Figurs and all….
October 1st, 2010 at 2:22 pm
not sure who said it the other day, but the gameplan for the Texans should be to slow down Arian Foster.
he’ll probably break 100 yards, but as long as they are all under 10 yards and no TD’s we’ll probably be ok – bend but don’t break on defense
I fully expect DMAC to get his, too. 100+ and 1 or 2 TD’s
I don’t understand why some of you people want Ron Dayne Jr with a gimpy thumb starting in front of our premier back !?!?!?
must be the RUE THE DAY crowd on Dakota’s list …

Rockstar,
Agreed…gota sellout and stop the run and let that Million Dollar secondary earn their money.
Bush shouldn’t start over DMAC….but he should be getting a lot of carries.
The Raiders should be trying to run the ball 35+ times. The passing game is limited for a variety of reasons.

Normally I’d agree with you. But the Raiders run such an undisciplined house that they basically have to have boy scouts on the team.
The coach is wishy washy and the owner doesn’t really respect the role or authority of coaches.
Haynesworth would be a great pick for a team like the Colts or Houston…but here…he’d flame out.
The recent evidence suggests as much. They started a QB that high on Codeine, skipped practices and was way overweight….

Also pretty simple -run the ball….pound DMAC and Bush and use them in the passing game….the O-Line can’t pass block anyway.

Its ridiculous that the team is unprepared and sloppy so much.
I understand the losing…the team is either too young or just not that talented…plus plodding coaching…but the lack of concentration, penalties and sloppiness is really infuriating.
October 1st, 2010 at 2:49 pm
S&B: there is no rhythm on offense. no timing with the WR’s. no pass protection for the QB.
Unfortunately, Al Davis got burned taking the Consensus #1 QB in the draft in 2007 and we may be stuck with journeyman backups (or former 1st round busts) that nobody else wants for the next 5-7 years.

also burned on a censensus can’t miss LT and C in 2003 draft, but that shouldn’t stop the team from going after the next crop, we still need help in all 3 areas(qb included) sigh

They still have to play the game and we’ll wh we are come Sunday it’s as if the game is over and we lost.
Damn man up!! will ya’
October 1st, 2010 at 2:57 pm
I WILL BE PULLING FOR THE RAIDERS.WILLING TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THEY MAY GET CRUSHED,JUST AS EASILY AS THEY COULD WIN.NOTHING THAT HAPPENS TO THEM SURPRISES ME.C-BASS IS JOKING ABOUT HIS GAGGING THE KICK THAT QUITE POSSILBLY COULD START THE AVALANCHE THAT WRECKS ANOTHER OF COACH ALVAS TEAM. MAYBE THEY WILL SACK THE QB AND KNOCK HIM OUT OF THE GAME.THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO WIN,OR ELSE C-BASS WILL KICK VICTORY INTO DEFEAT
October 1st, 2010 at 2:58 pm
This will allow us to see where we are and if we’re ready to win……..great opportunity.

Priest,
Are you retarded? Or just drunk?
October 1st, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Aside from the absolute stinker in Nashville, why do so many feel this team will get crushed? Houston has a good offense and the real super Mario, true, but let’s not kid ourselves, this offense is improved. DHB and Murphy will play, questionable just means it’s time for injury report games. Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels are also banged up… we’re at home and Grads is starting, not coming in to play 2nd half cleanup, as long as we go 75% td rate on red zone possesions the way we’re moving the ball, I like our chances.
October 1st, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Don’t you guys get the feeling the team has already quit? Just by the overall tone and feel of this place, the players’ interviews, etc? I think that field goal miss was a cruel reminder that no matter how hard they try to turn thing around, the Raiders will always have a scholarship player in there to ruin. It’s a futile effort. I think that’s the feeling in the locker room right now. If it’s not, it sure does seem like it.
October 1st, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Great. How do these kids keep showing up injured. I didn’t start having those probs until my early 30s.
Maybe they need to go on the Kenny Snake Stabler playa diet. More beer and whiskey and less creatine powder and 5Hr energy. Keeps your hammys nice and loose.
Worked for me. Still working.

priest, i think our fanaticism matches the effort the Raiders make on the field. I think we get really pumped up, then it’s like our inner fanaticism just muffs a field goal, and we don’t care anymore. Kind of like the team.

I didn’t sense that, seemed to me they actually had Janos’ back, and were more upset they didn’t convert more in the redzone.. This week will be the tell all though, I expect to see a very commited and spirited team. Don’t be surprised if they’re out to ensure DMAC finishes this game ahead of Foster in yards.
October 1st, 2010 at 3:08 pm
Laker,
This isnt a good team. Bottom line. Your dillusional if you think other wise. Its any given Sunday in the NFL but Houston is a better team than the Raiders. If they played 10 times the Texans would win 7 of them. As far as your Gradkowski take goes,the dudes a journeyman NFL QB. Nothing more, nothing less.
October 1st, 2010 at 3:08 pm
You think so, laker? You think the players are that dumb? I think they’re smart enough to know that no matter how hard they try, a Raiders’ scholarship will come out on to the field and waste their efforts. Gradkowski, Miller, Seymour, Nnamdi, these are smart football players. They’re not idiots. I think Jano’s muffed chip shot just drained them.
October 1st, 2010 at 3:13 pm
I’m aware this team is not very good, but I do see improvement and promise. Honestly, I was expecting the collapse and quit after the Titans game, then when Bradford drove on us and score immediately after we blew the opening possesion, but these guys seem to have more resolve and will to be good than the previous teams, maybe I’m overly optimistic right now, but we’ve seen this team quit before, this years’ team doesn’t give me that vibe
October 1st, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Will the real Nick Miller stand up this week and show us his stuff. Maybe the masses will now find out what Nick Miller is all about. I may be wrong but I think, if given the opportunity to play, Nick Miller will show us some speed, great hands and illusiveness. I’d really like NMiller to show everybody how great he can be.
This is your moment NMiller. You had better shine.
October 1st, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Is this what the season has come to were hopin that Nick Miller can save us?
October 1st, 2010 at 3:16 pm
Laker,
Its been 3 games man. No team quits after 3 games. This team is no different from any of the past years teams. No QB, bad 0-line, bad coaching, below avg WRs and a avg D. It will lead to 5 maybe 6 wins and another early draft pick. Oh wait, the brilliant Al Davis traded that away. Nevmind
October 1st, 2010 at 3:17 pm
Nick Miller??? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 1st, 2010 at 3:18 pm
They gave up. This team quit. They know no matter how hard they try, there’s a scholarship player that Al wants on the field who will come out and make their efforts futile. Since the Gruden era, this is what has sapped the team of motivation in seasons where they’ve showed some promise early on.
October 1st, 2010 at 3:19 pm
If we can get the crowd to support this team better, you’ll see great things take place. Players go down all the time backups are on the 53 man roster for a reason we may need them. That’s when you find out what kind of team you have.
How do you think we went into Pittsburg and beat the Steelers last year. We didn’t do it quitting and we wont quit Sunday. We may not win but it gives us a great opportunity to see where we are.

Are the Texans really that great? They’re good with some star players and their big win over Indy got them some well-deserved respect. But then they came out and needed comeback, OT to beat a Washington team that got smacked by the Rams and followed that up by getting beat down by the Cowboys.
The thing with the NFL is it’s truly any given Sunday. And success is mostly QB-driven. Since Bruce Almighty took over last year, in games he finished, we’re 3-2 and would be 4-1 if Janikowski hit that chip shot.
The Raiders can fight and need to win this game.

I disagree, the Art Shell team quit before training camp was over, last years’ team quit week 4, I may very well be wrong in the end, and I will be here to admit it if I am, but I don’t think this team is so bad it will fold as others have. Our defense usually folds for the season when they realize all their hard work will result in 4 straight 3 and outs, followed by a drive that ends with a turnover, punt, or 2 first downs and a cloud of dust. The promise of the offense me a lil more confidence than years’ past, but in the end we shall see what happens

October 1st, 2010 at 3:33 pm
The Texans may not be great, not sure who said they were but whatever, but the Raiders arent anywhere near good. They barely beat a bad Ram with a rook QB at home and lost to a HORRIBLE Cardinal team and got blown out by a mediocre Titan club. Wheres the confidence coming from??
October 1st, 2010 at 3:37 pm
I’m confident from the standpoint we finaly have an offense that can at least move the ball consistently and provide our defense with a breather, which is why I see this team fighting in every game win or lose. I don’t see this team getting creamed nearly weekly is all I’m saying
October 1st, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Did I say it was the fans fault? Goofball!! I said if they support the team they’ll see great things. That’s what we used to do, crowds can have a definite affect on a game. Players are very emotional when spur them on they often times do react. It’s that way in everything. Positive reenforcement. It does work.
Not saying you don’t need talent and all the other good stuff but players do feed off the crowd.
Can’t believe I needed to spell that out to a Raider fan. But that’s what we’re working with these days. ……why are you guy’s fans of this team? because of what you think they stand for? Stay away from my team if this makes no sense to you……….period

Not me. I was Bear Huntin this past week, but I was up by Loon Lake in ElDorado County.
My thought on how/why the Bear was there is this.
A person shot the Bear, and brought it to the Meat Market to be Processed, only to see that this market does not process Bears, since the Bear had not been properly cleaned, and Caped it spoiled. Once the persone realized this they just dumped it in front of the store. Maybe as RETRIBUTION for not processing game.

This is a poorly put together Raider team. No different than their predecessors.
I don’t believe this to be accurate.
I think wholesale changes at the LB positons, acquisition of Seymour and Henderson, the continued improvement of Matt Shaugnessy (I tried), DHB, and Louis Murphy, the drafting of Houston and McClain and especially the gutsy play (yeah I said it) of Bruce Gradkowski will put this team in position to win as much if not more than it does to lose.
Yes, the O line sucks (but they look better with Grad), and our run-stopping ability is still questionable, but a lot of teams have been able to compete and win with comparable players.
October 1st, 2010 at 3:47 pm
I know alot of teams apparently move linemen all over the place on the O line but Oakland doesn’t seem to have the guys to do this and it looks bad sometimes.
Langston was at extra LT with Veldheer at LT and Loper at LG on one play.
Looks ok but they rarely run the ball when they do this sort of thing. Too many decoys.
Plus our guys seem to struggle just to play ONE position.
October 1st, 2010 at 3:47 pm
I can see why you’d feel that way, we’ve been getting smoked for years, and they haven’t shown a lot to make you think otherwise. It’s just the makeup of this unit seems different, I may very well be fooling myself, but I just see a team with heart this year…not necessarily talent, but heart.
October 1st, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Have to say Cable was right about Grads being partially at fault during the Cards game.
O line not as horrid as it seems but still, c’mon Al! Fix the O line, save the Raiders…

You just know what you’ve heard……….period
October 1st, 2010 at 4:05 pm
Now about the Haynesworth situation…
For a team that has sucked against the run for almost a decade, getting Haynesworth would be one of the best things to happen to our D-line.
1)Haynesworth wants to play in a 4-3. We play a 4-3.
2)Do you really think Haynesworth wouldn’t relish the opportunity to prove that he is still a dominant player and that the whole ordeal in Washington was Shanarat’s fault and not his?
He’s looking to vindicate himself the same way Randy Moss did when he went to New England and everybody was saying that he lost a step.
3)Henderson and Haynesworth can share snaps at the NT position. Henderson is a dominant force but he’s 31 and starting to slow down a little with age. Imagine Henderson going out and Haynesworth coming in. Talk about intimidating an offensive line.
4)Tell me that a front four of Houston-Henderson/Haynseworth-Kelly-Seymour isn’t arguably the most dominant in the league. Who’s gonna run the ball successfully against that?
In unique situations you could even have Haynesworth and Henderson on the D-line at the same time. With the emergence of our linebackers all being 250+, that is a dominating defensive line.
5) As far as money and salaries and contracts go…Why do so many people come on here and worry about how much Al pays people. He’s a millionaire. If he wants to pay people that’s his business. When’s the last time you heard of the Raiders losing out on a player they really wanted because Al didn’t have money?
Give it a rest. Cable has made it clear he’s happy with the personnel we have on the offensive line. I’m not but that’s a moot point at this time.
Get Haynesworth, stop the run, and dominate opposing offensive lines. Amen.

Good. I hope the fans don’t boo the guy. Whether you’re for getting rid of him or not, the fact is he’ll be here all year. I’m still ticked at him for not having his head in the game but if you start booing the cat, it may just make things worse. kickers are fickle.
October 1st, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Re Post 167.
GM,
I can roll with points 1, 3, 4 & 5. Point 2, not so much. You have enough facts to support the 4 points, so no need to make stuff up. My response would be….he doesn’t give a rat about Shanarat. Got his money and came in out of shape. Played like heck the year before to get the money and, like so many others who have done the same…….body on the football field; mind in Cancun.
Moss was injured much of the time he was here and when he healed we had No O-line to protect and no one to get him the ball. So he got disgruntled and lazy…until he went to a better team.
October 1st, 2010 at 4:22 pm
Why the f@@k would anyone boo Seabass?
The guy is ranked somewhere around fifth in the NFL.
He hasn’t missed a kick inside the forty since 2007.
It’s just stupid to want to cut this guy because he should have made that 32yd kick.
October 1st, 2010 at 4:23 pm
Oh….and one other thing I disagree with. Cable is NOT happy with the players he has on the offensive line. He has been very honest and clear in stating that he yearned for one of the best LT’s in the draft. They were gone at #8, so Raiders took best MLB which they felt was best player available at a position of need.
October 1st, 2010 at 4:25 pm
831GS, now that’s a Raider fan!! take notes fellas. It’s about the next game the next play and then the wins start to come if they stay focused. When the crowd is behind them they just play better they always have.
Thanks 831, my man!!

Dan Williams out for Cardinals due to weight, not injury
Posted by Mike Florio on October 1, 2010 6:01 PM ET
Cardinals nose tackle Dan Williams doesn’t appear on the injury report, but he won’t be playing on Sunday.
While he hasn’t broken any bones, he apparently has broken a scale.
According to Mike Jurecki of Xtra Sports 910 in Phoenix (via Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic), Williams won’t play because he’s overweight.
Williams, the team’s first-round pick in 2010, is listed at 327. Which likely means that his playing weight closer to 340. Which likely means that he’s tipping 350 in order to end up being shut down because of his size.
October 1st, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Sebas has done enough to warrant a get out of jail free card. If he gets booed I’m sure it won’t be by more than a couple of ignorant idiots from out of town.
October 1st, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Good news, maybe:
Andre Johnson (ankle) missed his third straight day of practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 4.
Johnson did do some running on the side, but players that don’t do any practicing throughout the week like A.J. rarely are active on game days. Because his matchup with Oakland is already difficult, owners should only wait on Johnson in a 4:05ET start if they have Kevin Walter or Jacoby Jones handy. The Texans are considering holding Johnson out of the game.

Raiders have a team this year. It may not be the 2008 Patriots or the 1994 Cowboys or whatever but they are solid, have some pride and are working hard. While i want them to dominate, I am happy to see some progress and bide my time waiting for crazy ole Al to retire.

Here is a poem for those that will be in the parking lot this weekend…
Oh that my flag should flap in the
And my tent should stand tall among all others
That the fragrant scent from my grill should waft with kindness unto all that want to join
Oh bladder please hold more than my neighbor
And unto those that would hate I have but one wish
That he who is a hater, shall not extinguish my flame, but find another

Oh….and one other thing I disagree with. Cable is NOT happy with the players he has on the offensive line. He has been very honest and clear in stating that he yearned for one of the best LT’s in the draft. They were gone at #8, so Raiders took best MLB which they felt was best player available at a position of need.
_______________________________________________________
I believe that you are right FranyYouell. I believe that Cable really would like to have better players on that line.
But every time he is asked about acquiring help for that o-line, the propaganda he spews is that we have good, talented guys, and they are improving, and they will be good players, blah, blah, blah.
Now he may not want to publicly appear to be criticizing his players or he may just be repeating the company line, but he’s the coach and for now we have no choice but to take what he says at face value.
So since he’s claiming that the o-line is ok, I’m advocating for the D-Line. We still are inconsistent against the run. WE look improved in this area, but inconsistent
I think Haynesworth would be a force on our D-line to complement the players we already have.

Thanks Priesttj

We stand a good chance to win this game.
Bruce could have been intercepted around three times last week but lucked out. Seems like he’s pushing a little hard. That’s understandable since he could be replaced at any minute.
That said, the guy moves the chains. Look at the number of first downs. Bruce is the best bet we’ve got given our offensive line.
We need to use the running game with both McFadden and Bush and get some long drives going and keep their offense off the field.
Their defense really wears down toward the end of the game.
Let’s do it!

Priesttj, lives amongst the fairy-tales of yesteryear.
October 1st, 2010 at 4:45 pm
I think Haynesworth would be a force on our D-line to complement the players we already have.
….I would add….”if he wants to be”….
I don’t think he showed the ambition to play football once he got paid. Team switched to 3-4 and he went spoiled brat on them. Came in both fat and lazy.
I equate him with the converse of the kids who stayed with Tennessee after Kiffin bailed on them. They certainly had no idea he would leave. I am sure they were saddened, but they have held to their commitment. Hopefully they learned from him how NOT to behave in life. Something about loyalty. Same reason I don’t go off when Priesttj spews hard-line Davis/Raiders propaganda no matter what they do!

Mark takes over, hires a GM.
I really thought it was going to be last year and he was going to get Holmgren. Remember those Al comments about hiring a Bay Area guy. I hoped it was Big John but he’s pretty old and I believed him when he said he was retiring for real.
When Al retires. Good things are going to happen. i think there are a lot of people in football who want to see or contribute to restoring this franchise. I think many aren’t willing to work for Al currently. I can’t say I blame them.

Could you imagine how different the tone in here would be if Janikowski’s kick was a yard to the right and goes in?
People would be talking up a division title and contract extensions for Bruce, McFadden and Cable. Instead, the ball slices out and we’re the worst team in the world. Hopefully the players don’t think like the fans.
BTW, same exact thing happened to Vinatieri a couple of years ago for the Colts against the Chargers.

I watched a skins/eagles game from 2007 and Campbell looked really good… with lots of time to read and throw.
Until this line improves or rather, is improved, Bruce should be the man.
If AJ sits this game out for the Texans our chances of winning are much greater. Would be nice to play SD for a chance to end up 3-2.
October 1st, 2010 at 5:28 pm
Where did everybody go ?? Way to clear out the Blog TJ from Mountain View
October 1st, 2010 at 5:28 pm
The skins/eagles game was on NFLN today, I don’t have collections of old non raider games. I do have a Raiders vs. Seahawks from ‘89 on VHS though!
October 1st, 2010 at 5:29 pm
The only way Hayneworsth comes in is if Washington pays. He is a certifiable bust.
I couldn’t believe it but it’s true what I’m reading from many long time Raider fans and bloggers who are predicting not only a loss to the Texans, but a blow out. And if this injury bug that seems to come up every year is true then we might as well expect the blow out.
If this loss of faith from the faithful is evident by the 4th game, what are the expectations for game 10, it just doesn’t look good.
There could be 48K Raider fans at the Colosseum, highly dubious though. I don’t believe there’s much optimism left after seeing the team play this 3 games.
Gradz is much better than Campbell, but Gradz is definitely not the answer.
The offense works well between the 20s and fizzles in the red zone because of an undisciplined line, added to an unimaginative, stale, and predictable play-calling that plays for field goals.
The defense is relatively young and the best players are rooks, it should hold its own until the dummies predictably will raise their ugly head to allow big penalties or big plays. The Texans have a highly effective offense and should definitely exploit the youngsters.
Other than Lechler, the rest of the special teams can’t get themselves out of their own way to either stop a long return or create one, and since the offense is play for field goals Janiko should get his and miss some but not to make any difference since like everybody is predicting, this game should be a Texans blow out.
The Raider’s main problem is not going anywhere. Or sell or move or anything like it.
Cable should go but could continue to talk himself for a whole season, and regardless of record, he is a walking lame duck, emphasize on lame. He knows he won’t be back, not that anybody expects Cable to lead ducks into water, much less football players into winning.
Hue has the potential now but he has his offense clamped down by the antiquated Raider playbook.

Just kidding TJ you were one of the better callers on Pete’s Show.
October 1st, 2010 at 5:39 pm
210. Grads had his moments against the Cards. Great opening drive but mismanaged the clock and blew some pretty simple reads too.
He is NOT the be all end all but he at least moves the ball and scores on ocassion.
O line not as horrid as thought but not great.
We better hope Loper stays upright at least till Gallery gets back

Scoring in the Red Zone would cure a lot of ills on this squad. Mc Fadden has a hot hand and should be utilized more in the RZ. I don’t see any reason not to. Getting a lead would be nice to see the defense play down hill.

More news on AJ from Rotoworld…
Andre Johnson is undergoing platelet-rich plasma therapy on his high ankle sprain in an effort to play in Week 4 against the Raiders.
The procedure takes blood platelets (healing mechanisms) from one part of a patient’s body and injects them into the injured area in order to expedite faster healing. Its efficacy is unpredictable, but PRP did allow Troy Polamalu and Hines Ward to play in Super Bowl XL. It didn’t go as well for Giants DT Chris Canty last year. The approach does confirm that Johnson is trying to play, though we remain skeptical that he’ll be active, let alone effective.
October 1st, 2010 at 5:53 pm
What when did he do this Carl?

I guess today…
October 1st, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Carl, when we had swagger, we called it whiskey, worked every week, so far as I know, it hasn’t been banned. All Raider teams played hurt, we just didn’t tell anybody….And won!
October 1st, 2010 at 5:56 pm

Don’t get too dejected everybody. This may be is one of those “trap” games the the mafia own where every gambler circles Texans on their parley and end up losing it all. The whole ship sinks b/c the Raiders, against all odds, upset the Texans!
Or this team is like the 39ers (I don’t want to adulterate this blog with their real name) folding up their tent after Arizona upset
Or everyone is either trying to avoid being involved in the tsunami that is headed toward Oakland, by pulling their hamstrings.
TC, “Yeh, that’s it! Okay, here is the game plan: You alI pulled your hamstrings so that is why we lost. That’s my story and I am sticking to it.”

I dont usually agree with priest at all, infact i dont like alot of his raider philospohy’s..BUT.. when the raiders get going at home, and the crowd gets into it(even though its not a big crowd has of lately) It makes an impact. If we have early success(escpecially with our defense).. the crowd will get into the game and we will play well.. Put this on the RECORD GUYS..I believe the RAIDERS WILL WIN THE BALL GAME..I REPEAT THE RAIDERS WILL WIN THE BALL GAME…

It’s that crowd Jmack that inspired me to name the Stadium the Blackhole when the Raiders are on the field. I was sitting in the pressbox and the crowd was so loud the stadium was shaking and even the media got caught up it was like a blackhole that sucked you in wether you liked it or not. I called the Pete Franklin show and dubbed it the Blackhole on his show. It stuck and the rest is histroy.

But has i said, if our defens in the first half plays real well and our crowd gets goin we can do it. Hopefully its one of thoughs days John Marshall sends the dogs at the right times and we shake up shaub, DUDE, my reasoning is that we have one of the most talented young teams in the league and we can spark at any moment, im not afraid of any team with the defense we have, cuz we have attitude on that defense, and they smell blood when that black hole gets goin…BOYZ, we lost last game by a fieldgoal, dont matter, were home, texans are a good team, but they are not the best team in the league, THEY HAVENT PROVED SH*T YET FELLAS!! That leaves us and them on the field, nothin else…and talent wise, WE DO HAVE MORE.. WE just gota get rowdy… JUST WIN BABY!!!
October 1st, 2010 at 6:28 pm
What I want to know is why is it that every season we seem to have an unusual amount of injured players. And not just any players, but key players at key positions. I don’t know if it has to do with the kind of athletes we have in the team, all very fast and athletic, but too fragile for football. Or if we have to do something regarding conditioning and training. I’m starting to think that there’s more to this than just dumb old bad luck.
What do you guys think?

I never make predictions on scores or records, but I’ve felt good about this game all week long. I jjust feel this team is ready and poised to make a move. Games like this will tell us a lot.

EMR, since 2002, our D backfield has been so light they have bounced off players and didn’t slow them down. It has perpertrated until this year. Speed kills on a gridiron, hammys, knees, and 40 times. It looks like we started to turn the corner, but players are also guilty of milking it, big check, sit pine, go to the Islands trim.

Hey as much as i like to belive the refs give us(the raiders) too much ish..(and they do)..they historicaly and lately have given us calls(last wk)…(wk b4)…we just found a way to lose lol(sucks i no)..but i do have a feeling this game we will have to fight threw about 10 penalties (110yd)…all coming from the left side of our line lol..and maybe from carlisle too.. But sometimes we get into games where the other team gets ALOT of calles up until they way end..lol..you guys know what im talking about..and then we will get a call to give us a shot and making up for 10 B.S. calls prior..except in the playoffs thats when we get dicked over lol..
October 1st, 2010 at 6:57 pm
Jmack, The only way we got those calls was because they were so blatent, and on film, that in this recession, even NFL Refs could lose their jobs by screwing the Raiders. In past years, they were promoted! Blame the Dem’s…..and that woman from Cali in particular……
October 1st, 2010 at 7:12 pm
Why we talkin politics on a raider blog bruh??lol..and why would we blame the dems for recession, they didnt screw us, the man that was in charge of the country for the last decade screwed us…dude.. the raiders are the definition of blue collar brother…were always getting screwed..u know why?? I dont want to get this deep but…yeah..The NFL screws us cuz AL Davis has more balls then all of them..we are the underdogs that can be feared on any given day, we are different, and for that, we are looked down upon..but deep in everyones mind, they all know that one day(now)..when the bully wakes up from its long rest, we find we are strong and can take em all on.. No dont blame the dems, and if you arent making over 200k a year then you shouldnt blame the dems either, in that case u would be the one to blame..we arent like that dude, were not george bush…we are young and crazy, and considering the Oakland Raider fan base is THE MOST ethnicly diverse in THE LEAGUE, then you should re-evaluate what you just said, blaming the dems would be like blaming the raiders in a way…dont be like that bro, we are blue collar, we are tough…not conneticut blue bloods sitting on thrones…(F.Y.I.

This team is a “wounded animal” and you know what that means. 35/14 T/O posts are based on the health of this team, the questionable 24th against the run defense, extremely questionable coaching and nefarious referring activity. In spite of all that, I think the Raiders can rise to the occasion and beat Houston.
I know they are salivating at the scouting reports but this team has enough talent to overcome these obstacles. See you bloggers at the game. Go Raiders!!!
October 2nd, 2010 at 12:32 am
I think the game is going to fun if:
We set the tone. I mean from the outset the crowd get’s there early and ready to roar if the Texans go on offense first. Which I hope, so we get the second half to kick off.
If we fans leave our collective vocal chords on the field the Raiders will light up that stadium. I am pumped! I can’t wait to put my two cents in.
