Gradkowski a spectator
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, October 21st, 2010 at 1:14 pm in Oakland Raiders.
If Hue Jackson has a game plan which calls for the quarterback to do little more than toss a football from his left hand to his right hand, occasionally putting it underneath one arm, then Bruce Gradkowski ought to be up to the task of facing the Denver Broncos Sunday.
More likely, it will be either Jason Campbell or Kyle Boller at quarterback, as they were the only quarterbacks who actually threw a forward pass during the media window Thursday.
Coach Tom Cable said Wednesday Gradkowski was throwing, but “nothing downfield.” Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson said before practice, “Those guys are practicing. Jason is getting work. Kyle’s getting work. Bruce is probably getting the least amount of work, but he’s working. It could be a game-time decision for making a decision about who the quarterback is.”
Unless Gradkowski is tearing off his red jersey and displaying an “S” on his chest once the media leaves, he looks to be a longshot at this point.
Darren McFadden was on the field with the offense for the second straight day, meaning he stands a decent chance of being active after missing two games, although it remains to be seen what kind of workload he’ll have against the Broncos.
The only players not present were defensive tackle John Henderson (stress fracture) and wide receiver Chaz Schilens (knee). Linebacker Thomas Howard was on the field going through some rehab drills with a member of the athletic training staff with a light brace on his right knee.
In terms of personnel, defensive coordinator John Marshall said Thursday the plan was for Quentin Groves to start at weak side linebacker against Denver, with Trevor Scott moving back into the three-man rotation at end along with Lamarr Houston and Matt Shaughnessy.
Groves may not get a lot of action even if active. Given the amount of time Denver employs three wide receivers, the Raiders could spend much of the game with only two linebackers on the field.
More to come later . ..

Juan Williams is about the biggest non story I can think of today. They could bury it and it would have no effect on my life. NPR fired him for making a cruel statement about Muslims that he had no basis to make. Good for them..

DutchRaider, you’re the one who needs to educate yourself on the issue. You gave the perfect neo-con take on drug cartels. You obviously have learned nothing from the events of the past 10 years. Before watching any more Fox News, at least try to study up on the connection between our drug laws and the profits of drug dealers. See if you can use that brain and think of a solution, considering those resources, that doesn’t involve sending more kids to die..

Jesus…what is the deal and major malfunction with these Bay Area football teams??
The Niners and Raiders are freakin STUPID!
Goodell has been basically telling them, that if they get together and share a modern state of the art stadium like what has happened with the New York teams, then it will be easier on both their wallets in this tough economy. Plus I’m sure the NFL will help them with financing and the Bay Area would also be in the running for Super Bowls every 5-6 years!
The Yorks and old looney Al need to get their heads out of their collective asses!

Yeah could you imagine the Raiders with 100,000 seat stadium with only 25,000 people showing up. It would be epic.

certainly not a complete DE or anything that resembles a base end …

October 21st, 2010 at 1:25 pm
God, I hope this is just a this-week’s-gameplan thing to move Scott back to end.
It could work, I guess: with the Broncos throwing so much out of 3 WR sets and only a need for 2 LB’s, he can just pin his ears back and go.
But if we play a team with a more balanced attack and Groves is starting WLB and Scott is in there at DE, it’ll be a catastrophe

I could provide you a dizzying list of the many atrocities done by Muslims, but then I would be labeled a racist by idiots on the left for simply posting facts.
October 21st, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Dakota, how could you be a racist for pointing out things that Muslims did? Islam is a religion, not a race. That’s what watching the “#1 news network” will get you.
Anyhow, I would never call you a racist just for not liking Muslims. A bigot? Well, what do you think?
If you think all Muslims are somewhat connected to terrorism, you’re a bigot. Period. It’s your views that make you a bigot, not mine. The word already exists and has a definition.

***
Dungver actually runs a balanced offense as far as run/pass attempts go. They just move the chains when they pass and punt when they run. McD goes pass happy because thats what the offense can execute. However, the gameplan could change this week if they watch the SD game where Rivers lit us up through the air and still lost the game. The Raiders couldn’t stop the run in any of our 4 losses. They would be stupid not to try. I expect 20+ rush attempts at 4 ypc and Orton passing for 250 yards 2 TDs and 1 INT

If Cable can bench JaMarcus and JaJason he should be able to keep Scott at WLB. It would be stupid to have him on the field as a DE.
It wasn’t much of a rotation either, he was seeing the BULK of the snaps. Everybody sucked in that Houston game, but he was victimized BADLY.

Classifying Mike Silver as a “spy” for anyone football-related is a real stretch. Have you ever read anything he’s written? The guys’s completely clueless when it comes to football. Someone would have to be pretty desperate to rely on anything he has to say.

I actually think they can match up ok with Denver if the front 4 gets pressure. Mitchell has been playing pretty well, certainly better in coverage the last few weeks than Branch or Huff. Hopefully we will see him at nickel linebacker this week, to get some run support and help us out with the matchup problems. On offense we need to get some production out of the wrs, obviously. When they dont, teams can key on miller and that takes away our passing game completely.

Manifest Destiny is American, not Christian. Being white and being Christian are not synonymous. Hopefully you do not think every Arab is a Muslim or every Muslim is an Arab. Likewise, it’s foolish to conclude that every white is a Christian or that every Christian is white.

Not having a Qb has also killed us. Drafting JR set us back big time. However, if Al does not get most of the blame, then who does? He sets the tone. It’s obvious that good ownership makes all the difference in the world. The Rooneys and Krafts prove that.

Yes, the Seymour trade has resulted in little, if any discernable benefit to the team, especially when the team is playing him out of position. He should be our LDE. Now we will not be in a position to draft a franchise QB, or good offensive tackle in next year’s first round.

Goodell has been basically telling them, that if they get together and share a modern state of the art stadium like what has happened with the New York teams, then it will be easier on both their wallets in this tough economy. Plus I’m sure the NFL will help them with financing and the Bay Area would also be in the running for Super Bowls every 5-6 years!

Ex-Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell admits mistakes, vows he will return to the NFL
Former Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell admitted his own mistakes helped lead to his release last May, and vowed to complete a career comeback that ends with him back in the NFL.
The 2007 No. 1 overall draft pick told Showtime’s Inside the NFL that he acknowledges he did not live up to expectations in Oakland. “Now looking back on it, I could have went about certain things different,” Russell said.
What specifically did he do wrong?
“I am not sure,” Russell told Showtime interviewer Josina Anderson. “I don’t know where they went wrong. But the things that did go wrong I take full blame for whatever was my fault, and the things that did happen. Being drafted No. 1 there are so much that they want you to do at a snap of a finger. It didn’t happen that way which brings us to today.”
Russell is now working out in Houston with former NBA coach John Lucas, who wanted to help Russell. The quarterback arrested in July when authorities alleged they seized codeine (used to concoct a drink called “purple drank”) from Russell’s Mobile, Ala., home.
“I went and got him,” Lucas told Fox-TV in Houston. “What I saw in him was me 33 years ago when I was out in Golden State (with the Warriors). His troubles started there and so did mine after I left the Houston Rockets. I saw a lot of common denominators. We were both No. 1 picks, but JaMarcus is working hard and doing really good.”
Russell admitted to using codeine while with the Raiders. He appeared in court on the charge, but a friend, Marcus Stevenson, told a judge that he owned the codeine police seized from Russell.
The former LSU product told Fox he knows “for a fact” that he will return to the NFL. “I can’t say when, but until it happens I am going to stay here in Houston and continue to work out each and every day no matter how long it takes,” he said.
Russell told Showtime he will not consider playing in the UFL and brushed off a question about whether he would consider playing a position other than QB.
“I am not going to speak on that,” he said. “I am a quarterback.”
+++++++++++++++++++
Al Davis will re-sign him for a much lower salary…say 6 years $45 million, only $20 million guaranteed this time….

I know where they went wrong. Geoffery’s inner circle (night club for you out of towners), parking across the street from castlemont high looking for chicks, and being messy all over our beloved yet challenged city.
I hope you come to grips, but you must be willing to take full respnsibility. You had so much talent, and I was elated when we drafted you. You broke our hearts. Just another sad chapter in the long line of athletes who get turned out in the town.

Personally I’d start by getting a WR in who can catch and a QB who can throw to him/them. Maybe re-sign Figures, he $ucked as a returner but caught the few balls we threw at him. Campbell just doesn’t seem to “get it” yet. Maybe Boller needs a shot.
