Campbell, Boller taking reps
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010 at 1:10 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Jason Campbell and Kyle Boller were getting work at quarterback during Wednesday’s media window, with Bruce Gradkowski an interested bystander.
Of the three players who had concussions against Denver, center Samson Satele and defensive end Matt Shaughnessy were at practice, while Chris Johnson was not. To the untrained eye, Johnson apppeared to have no symptoms following the game or Monday in the locker room, talking with reporters and looking sharp and clear-eyed.
There was no sign of Louis Murphy, the wide receiver who had a chest injury which Profootballtalk.com reported to be a bruised lung.
Guard Robert Gallery (calf) was on the field practicing. Linebacker Thomas Howard was doing agility drills and did not appear to be practicing. Wide receiver Chaz Schilens (knee) and defensive tackle John Henderson (stress fracture) were not present.
More to come . . .

Chaz will probably be back after the bye week. We are going to need him, he must stay healthy
October 27th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Satele in pads? Good sign for line play Sunday.
October 27th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Again, Bruce’s shoulder is completely healed. NoballsCable is following AD’s orders to play Campbell.
Not going to be allowed to throw in front of media. Interested spectator my left ranchero.

Gallery and Satele practicing. Very good News for the Nation.

Doesn’t matter if Bruise is healthy or not. There’s no way in hell Cable could play him over JC after last week. Imagine the heat he would take if he flopped and we lost the Seattle game. His only chance to get back in the lineup is a loss on Sunday. Can’t imagine that happening. There’s no reason this team can’t pick up where it left off.

Mike Mitchell is finally playing like a 2nd round pick but I would like him and every D# player to play a little bit more aggressive. Try to strip the ball or jump a route. Of course that’s difficult to do in man defense as most times you are alone with the receiver so a catch means a TD if you miss on the pick or the tackle.

Jaguars bench Derrick Harvey, acquired in coach-killing trade
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on October 27, 2010 2:16 PM ET
The Jaguars defense is arguably the worst in football, ranking at or near the bottom of the league in virtually every major category.
This is a problem for coach Jack Del Rio for many reasons, not least of which is that he’s supposed to be a defensive coach. Jacksonville continues to search for answers at many positions including safety and defensive end.
Del Rio confirmed on Wednesday that he’s benched 2008 No. 8 overall pick Derrick Harvey, according to Vito Stellino of the Florida Times-Union. Jeremy Mincey will start. We mentioned that the team was reducing Harvey’s playing time earlier in the year.
Vito Stellino says Harvey is “now one of the greatest busts in team history.” (Guess Vito doesn’t see a turnaround on the way.)
We agree, if you consider that the Jaguars gave up the No. 26 overall pick, two third-rounders, and a fourth just to move up for Harvey, who is the only Jaguar left from the team’s thinned-out 2008 draft class.
That is a coach-killing trade and draft class if we ever saw one.
UPDATE: Alfie Crow of Big Cat Country points out that the Jaguars also shipped a Jags also gave up a second, fifth, and seventh-round pick in that same class for second round pick Quentin Groves. He was shipped after two terrible years to Oakland for a fourth-round pick in the offseason. We challenge anyone to find a more disastrous draft class.

I get tired of reading about WR Chaz Schilens not practicing.
October 27th, 2010 at 1:48 pm

i got this off ask.com so i dont know how reliable it is:
How long does it take for a bruised lung to heal?
In: Health [Edit categories]
A bruised lung, diaphragm, or pleura may take two to four weeks to heal, if there is no subsequent re-injury. Breathing difficulties may persist, however, for up to six months in some injuries.

Please take warning….if we don’t beat the Seachickens, at home, after blowing out the Broncos then that win last week is nothing more than an amusing bright spot in an otherwise dreary year.
MUST WIN!
If Cable loses this game he should be fired on the spot. Cable’s only duty is to make sure this team is ready week in and week out….and occasionally call a timeout.

************************************************************
What? WHat would you call the SF debacle after the huge SD win, JC managed the ball well for the most part but he does not deserve credit for the blow out thats for sure. Its a little easier to have a good game whenyour rushing for 350 yards. I still dont think JC could come back in the 4th quarter let alone a second half like Bruce did against Pitt last year. Cable like BRUUUCE’s leadership style better, even on interviews with ZMiller it was reported that you could hear the difference in enthusiasm between the two. Bruce fires the guys up, JC had a good game but he was NOT the reason we blew out Denver. I dont think I will ever be able to forget that pitiful loss against the winless niners. Maybe it was the douche niner fans rubbing it in, but that was a disgrace. When has Bruce done that bad? JC has stank it up for 10 quarters and had 6 good quarters. Not a passing grade IMO

Unless Cable named him starter for the year in week 2.
Which um, he did. And it was a good idea.
October 27th, 2010 at 2:28 pm
My main problem with Campbell is he never gets the ball out on time. He wont throw the ball to a spot and trust his reciever to get there, he waits for them to be open then lets it go. Perfect example is that 1st quarter pass to murphy, if he had let that go a split second earlier murphy would have had space to run. By then its too late and he has to throw it away or into coverage. I dont know why he doesnt have better timing with his recievers that bruce, seeing as he got most if not all the reps with them during training camp and OTAs.

We’re not going to be able to win the rest of our games by 6 TDs. Some of them may comedown to shootouts.
You’d prefer Campbell in a shootout Debo?
Oh, wait. You’d prefer Russell. Lol.
If Grad can beat out your boy Russell (what an achievement that was, lol) and your boy Campbell in the span of less than a year – and according to you he sucks – what does that say about your boys?
October 27th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Maybe he was just saying that we’re number one.
October 27th, 2010 at 2:33 pm
He was probably holding up the 1 b/c we were at 58 and some people on the team wanted to go for 2, you can kinda see him smiling a little bit as he does it
October 27th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
WTF
“Murphy suffered the injury in a friendly-fire collision with teammate Marcel Reese during the Broncos win.”
Does this crap happen to other teams?

Brandon Lloyd in an interview:
“There’s really no excuse for getting blown up on like that. That’s a high school game,” Lloyd said. That’s not a professional football game and it’s embarrassing. It’s just not right and there’s nothing really much we can do about that today but learn from it. Maybe there’s something during the week that we did wrong as players and coaches and try to correct that moving forward.”
Lloyd was also complimentary of the Raiders, calling them a playoff team.
“You look at our division and you can’t look at the Raiders anymore and say ‘Oh, these guys have great talent and the best athletes in the world and they’re not good.’ We can’t say that because our division is so wide open because every team has an opportunity,” Lloyd said. “That makes the Raiders even more dangerous because not only do they have the best athletes in the NFL, but they have confidence and motivation. Now look at them: They’re a playoff team.”
The Broncos seem convinced of the Raiders improvement.
