Cable quick hits
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, November 1st, 2010 at 2:31 pm in Oakland Raiders.
A few items from coach Tom Cable’s press briefing Monday:
– Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha is undergoing tests to determine the severity of his sprained right ankle. Cable reiterated there was no fracture. He said it’s yet to be determined with hit’s a “rollover” ankle sprain or a high sprain, the latter of which usually takes longer to heal.
He said it is too early to rule Asomugha out for the Chiefs game and more would be known in 48 hours.
– Tight end Zach Miller’s foot problem is no different than it was last week. Miller is on crutches as a precautionary measure.
– Center Samson Satele has a sore knee and Darrius Heward-Bey a shoulder problem, although neither injury is considered serious.
– Surprisingly, Cable did not immediately reject the notion of bringing in wide receiver Randy Moss, waived by Minnesota Monday. He said he had just learned about the release, that a lot of things would have to happen with regard to waivers, and that it’s always worth considering a move that could make the team better.
– Cable, without addressing the blackout issue, said he hoped fans would come out and support the Raiders against the Chiefs, giving them the kind of advantage the Chiefs enjoy at Arrowhead Stadium.
More to come later . . .

November 1st, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Kell,
How ya doin? I can’t speak for him, but I think McClain might have been a little surprised and disapointed to look out and see about 30,000 empty seats staring back at him one week after a 59-14 beatdown of a hated division rival. I think he’s trying to get the fans behind this team. Especially for next week. That game is huge. I don’t think he was flipping off the fans that were there or anything like that.
Cable was begging Raider Nation to get behind this young and talented team prior to this week as well.
November 1st, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Moss can go eat $hit as far as I’m concerned. He $hat all over this team and now we’re going to ask him to come back? LOL…Come on, Raiders. Don’t let yourselves get punked by such a loser washout.

DHB played well but a #1 reciever not yet…he has to do that week in and week out against double coverage and defensive focus.
but he is playing MUCH better than last year..
and his speed works even if he doesnt go deep, the coverage has to play off a little and keep the threat of the fade route in their mind, that should make the comeback availaible (as seen yesterday)
==========================================================
Mistic says:
Wrong. Speed kills. How can a team double DHB and single up on the other speed burners. Or expose the linbackers leaving them to cover reece and dmac. The only way would be to take out the lb’s and play more db’s, nickle and dime packages. But if you do that we will run the ball down your throats. Not only that but you have to leave at least one safety high because the raiders have put on tape for every team to see, that they will throw it deep, and score touchdowns doing it.
===================================================
what exactly am i wrong about? that DHb is not yet a #1? there is more to defensive focus than simple double teams.
lets just for argument sake say that you are correct and that you cant double him because of underneath routes (TE, Reese, DMAC etc.) and our other wideouts..you can still draw stronger cover corners. you still make the def coordinator keep at least one safey deep. it might make a corner refrain from bump and run…
cortland finnegan and champ bailey, jammer almost every top corner we have faced so far has not locked up on DHB. they have either played a mix of zone or those corners covered murphy.
A #1 reciever gets that attention. and he still puts up consistent #s most weeks despite that attention. DHB has not faced the attention nor put up consistent #’s
The situation about pulling LBs and running nickel/dime units, that you are describing is the exact dilemna that a balanced offense presents a defense. that is the ultimate goal. to have a solid run game that demands attention but also the ability to get the ball to play making wideouts and tight ends.
so i repeat what was i wrong about?

This is the same clown that said he wished all the “fake” fans that are not from Oakland would go away. Now, can you get any more stupid than that? If only the Oakland fans showed up, there’s be 55,000 empty seats. LOL.

I understand Kell. And I don’t want to pass judgement on others. It is a tough economy. Some fans might still be skeptical after the last seven years. But, damn I was disapointed in seeing all those empty seats in the coliseum yesterday.
Even though I live 3/4 of the country away, I want the Raiders to stay in Oakland. It is where they belong. As Ben Davidson so eloquently put it…Oakland California..the birthplace of The Hells Angels, The Black Panthers and the Oakland Raiders.
I don’t want to see deja vu all over again, in a couple of years with Darren McFadden in the role of Marcus Allen winning SB MVP for the Golden State Los Angeles Raiders of Anaheim.
I hope the Black Hole is sold out and rockin’ come Sunday.

yeah i agree. before yesterday i was looking forward to gradkowski’s return but now i think you ride with campbell until he f-es up..
dont go so long that you lose the game, but if he just plays the check down game and gets beat up holding the ball, then make a move at halftime..
we alraedy know that Grads can come in and play off the bench and our team usualy repsonds well to that, although it does seem like Campbell is gettign embraced by his teammates

I read a quote by Cable stating how disapointed he is in it. But, that they’re going to keep moving forward.
Are you referring to the fans in here excited about their performance the last couple of weeks?
I don’t know but that comment kinda sounded a little pithy and RMR-ish. Geez.

November 1st, 2010 at 3:09 pm
Tars I was surprised they went to Reece with Malloy lining up against him. I figured that was to see if a backer went over then they were going to streak him or wheel route him. But Malloy was playing off a bit for a 1 yrd D&D, the slant was deadly.

November 1st, 2010 at 3:12 pm
@ Tars983,
My only point of contention is that teams will not be able to double DHb because of the speed we have on the field. also by virtue of his play i think he is now the number one receiver on this team. maybe not on par with others in the league, but clearly the most dangerous pass catcher on our team playing receiver. I only meant to copy the first sentence of your post.
I completely agree with the rest of what you have to say about his improvement, and how his speed is forcing the hand of the defense.

=============
yes they will be ready. that what good coaching staffs do, they gameplan well and as a result dont get surprised on sundays.
All we have to do is execute! i dont care how well prepared they are. if we control the line of scrimmage and run the ball like we did the last two weeks, then campbell should be fine.
The reverses are a perfect example, you know each team is practicing against those plays but you cant predict when we are gonna run it and when HJ does call it, we have been executing! That just needs to be the case throughout the squad, all 3 facets of the game.
But i am worried bc the queefs generate a pass rush. and that is not exactly campbells strong suit.
November 1st, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Mistic,
I dont think teams are double teaming dhb anytime soon. They may but have not done so in the past. In the Cards game, they forced us to beat them by taking miller and Murphy away.

The whole fan thing is a non-issue. Fans could care less about what a player thinks or how he “feels”. The whole thing just sounds gay (no offense). The media, including Jerry, make these kind of articles cuz they care about interview time. All a smart fan cares about is what’s happening during the game. Fans care about actions not speaking engagements. Don’t believe the hype.

Im the idiot that told you campbell would out play your boy grads. You are upset because you now realize that grads doesnt have the goods to compete with the person I have touted. you are a fraud that knows nothing about football, and you were wrong about jc. All of your crap about how we should trade/ cut him now exposes you for the clown that you are.
You are also upset becuase every time you have come at me with your sorry name calling tirades, you have been shut down. You also have tried on several occasions to change what I have said to fit your weak arguments, but I wont let you get away with that either. That is why i constantly have to remind you to read the post, im giving you the benefit of the doubt, you cant be as stupid as you make yourself sound.
Case and point, according your post it makes it appear that I am saying all fans not from oakland are fake. i have never said that. The raiders are global. I would like all fake fans to disappear no matter where they are from, including you.
I have hammered you routinely on this blog and now you are looking for teammates and cosigners. I guess there is strength in numbers. Every case i make can stand on its own. that is the difference between you and i, i dont need back up whuppin your a$$ in here.

Man, after the SF game I said JC looked slow out there. Slow to read defenses, long slow delivery. Played hesitant. Cable and Hue called him on it too, and it’s been night and day since. They told him to quit trying to be so perfect and hesitant and just let er rip. He’s played really well these last two weeks.
And you know he earned some respect in the locker room with the way he threw that block on Malloy. Contrast that with the way he slid instead diving head first for the 1st down earlier in the season.
The guy is really playing well. I don’t see how Cable can pull a hot hand if he keeps playing like this. Grads might just have to wait. No way I thought I’d say that a couple of weeks ago.
November 1st, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Shanarat is living up to his name. You could tell he was lying at his PC yesterday with the Rex Grossman nonsense
November 1st, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Ford is making steady progress @ WR but his return game is struggling. I would like to see a bomb or 3 to Ford & DHB per game.
++++++++++++++++
I thought he was going to have a breakout game against seattle, papa and flores said he had a knee injury, but he came back to play…I actually thought he would have been much further along than where he is at. From what some of the guys were posting you including he is making strides, and he probable takes some press off DHB in that his speed will scre the hell out of teams…cant double them both…
November 1st, 2010 at 3:30 pm
I wouldn’t be surprised @ that 1 bit. Seems like B Child messed his pants badly on this one. Nice to see the Viks imploding from within!

Stuffing the kc run game will not be easy, but it can be slowed down. we have trouble with guys like charles ( chris johnson, matt forte), and mccluster. Jones we have caught his act before and he hammered us, but that was a different raider defense. There return game is a major concern in my eyes.
The queefs pass game is not very scary at all. I would feel better with area 21 matching up with bowe, but he is not an elite guy. Ill take my chances with cj and rout on him. I think even huff can slide over and take him, his biggest asset is his physicality, and we still match up with him there. put pressure on cassel and turns to jelly.
The real key is to continue to put points on the board. Force them into catch up mode and taking their thereby nullifying their real strong suit.
November 1st, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Did y’all see Huff @ corner? He jammed the receiver really well at the line he kinda looked like Nmandi Jr out there.

I’m split on the Moss thing. 80% of me says NO WAY, the other 20% says we sure could use a WR right about now. I’m sticking with the 80%.
Plus, after the bye we are getting Schillens back healthy and Murphy too. Can’t wait…
Just imagine, Schillens, Murphy, DHB, McF, Bush, Ford, ZMiller, NMiller, Reece… we might just be unstoppable on Offense after the bye.
November 1st, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Huff is a legit baller who makes game changing plays please dont compare him to #21.

Laying this down now, get real, this team will NOT bring “Moss the Cancer” back to this team ever. This self serving punk was found out years ago, we were lucky to jetson him. Moss needs to know he does not lead the pack, 65th in receptions in the league, and is so self supportingly over-rated as a washed up WR as plea his case. If you had grown up, mister EGO man, you could of left a legacy to lead the league. You do it Randys way, unfortunatly, that has never been TEAM play. There are no tears for you in Oakland, loser!
November 1st, 2010 at 3:43 pm
DHB has the 10th best set of hands on the team. 19 receptions in 8 games is tearing it up. Mistic has him at the pro bowl already. DHb had his best game and has outkicked his marginal talent. Should never have been a first round pick. 5th round talent…maybe…He is going to make a play here and there because Al makes cable play him every possible second, except for when he got the yeast infection at Denver…

I like McClain’s progress thus far but this guy acts like he’s a veteran with multiple pro bowls.
He played at Alabama…whoopdee freaking doo. So far his play here has been ok but nothing special.
I don’t care so much what the guy has to say, just the fact he’s acting like he’s too damn special to do the things that everybody else does in talking with the media. He’s a darn rookie who has played “ok” thus far.
They aren’t preparing his bust for Canton as yet. Quit acting like you’re so damn special.

Moss won’t be back in Oakland, thank goodness…
he already QUIT on this team once!
Besides, waivers are awarded by record, on a worst to first basis, we would be beat out by a lower placed team that put in a waiver, like say SD or SF, so it’s prolly best he stays in Minny and gets a better attitude…

You are upset because you now realize that grads doesnt have the goods to compete with the person I have touted. you are a fraud that knows nothing about football, and you were wrong about jc. All of your crap about how we should trade/ cut him now exposes you for the clown that you are.
You are also upset becuase every time you have come at me with your sorry name calling tirades, you have been shut down. You also have tried on several occasions to change what I have said to fit your weak arguments, but I wont let you get away with that either. That is why i constantly have to remind you to read the post, im giving you the benefit of the doubt, you cant be as stupid as you make yourself sound.
Case and point, according your post it makes it appear that I am saying all fans not from oakland are fake. i have never said that. The raiders are global. I would like all fake fans to disappear no matter where they are from, including you.
I have hammered you routinely on this blog and now you are looking for teammates and cosigners. I guess there is strength in numbers. Every case i make can stand on its own. that is the difference between you and i, i dont need back up whuppin your a$$ in here.

Debo, Campbell has learned a lot in the last 3 games or so. He is scrambling and looking for lost opportunities, and covering the ball well. This is good for our team. Look at our turnover ratio, he is getting the job done. The team is behind him, we are scoring more points in two games than we did in 6 a year ago. It ain’t Grads vs Campbell, it’s RAIDER FOOTBALL, and WINNING games that is happening, by all 53 players on this team. There should be no bebate about this, IMHO!

Honestly, I didn’t believe that either Cable or Campbell could do much for the Raiders. I couldn’t believe that Al and Cable would let HuJac loose, and let him call a game without the restraints of the Raider playbook. I had them 3-6 going into the bye after beating the chefs, which I thought the Raider could and now should.
Now, please don’t start with the we’re back chant, just yet. I say if they can go 8-8, and be in contention, then by all means, I’m sure the old bandwagon is big enough.
McClain, like I did, takes a look around at a half-filled stadium and wonders what else do we have to do to get fans back. I’m sure Tuscalooser doesn’t have very much to do other than attend 6 Bama games a year and win or lose the stadium will be filled. But, in Oaktown after the seven-year disaster, and starting this season in the hole, again, there wasn’t much to do at the Colosseum. Win against the chefs, 3-0 in the division, going into the bye feeling confident, possibly finish at 9-7, you know it won’t just be the black hole rocking with McClain.

I agree for the most part. I used to think Grads was the better option, or at worst they were interchangeable. But after watching the Hou, SD, Den and Seattle games, it’s clear that JC is head and shoulders above Bruise. There shouldn’t even be a word said about making a change now.
November 1st, 2010 at 4:36 pm
After watching Campbell coming back and lay out that block on that end around play, he wins the job hands down.
What has his his qb rating been after doing a 10.7?
If the defense keeps playing in that aggressive but disciplined style, and Campbell plays within his means, the Raiders will contend.
Now, with Randy Moss in the picture the Raider running attack will blossom to stardom. No matter what, he’ll be doubled every play, opening it up inside.
I recommend claiming him and put him inside Al’s chamber, have Al slap him upside his head a couple of times, until he understands how to behave in the new Raider way.

I am a big Bruce Gradkowski supporter but Tom Cable need to ride with Jason Campbell until he start going back into that shell. I work in Washington DC and watched Jason go through a different offensive coordinator every year he was with the Redskins. Under the circumstances he did a good job. As in baseball I look at Jason Campbell as a starting pitcher and Bruce Gradkowski as a relief pitcher or closer. Cable can break tradition by playing both of them.
November 2nd, 2010 at 10:24 am
Randy Moss as a Raider? That’s an odd question isn’t it? Am I the only person who remembers moss standing in the end zone catching the ball & then just blatantly dropping it? Why would the Raiders want to bring in a virus like that to a thriving team that’s showing glimpses of the Raiders of old. No, never should he ever have the priviledge of donning the Silver & Black….I just wish the Raiders would have dumped Warren Sapp when he announced that he was a Buccaneer in a Raider uniform like Childress did Moss after he finished his Patriot love fest for the press conference….Way to go RAIDERS!!!! Let’s keep the plagues out of the organization.
November 2nd, 2010 at 12:49 pm
Anyone wanting Moss back in Oakland is an idiot. Yeah, it sure worked out great the first time, right! Moss is a punk-loser-thug, a cry baby, a locker room cancer. Grow up people. Adding Moss is like pouring salt in your Kool Aid. Why would you do it?
