Asomugha, Zach Miller absent
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010 at 12:58 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Neither cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (ankle) nor tight end Zach Miller (arch) were on the field Wednesday as the Raiders wrapped up a walk-through portion of practice open to the media and got down to the business of preparing for the Chiefs.
Chris Johnson, cleared to play after missing the Seattle game with a concussion, was working with the first team defense along with Stanford Routt. Brandon Myers, who played last week against Seattle after missing the previous game with a concussion, was working with the first team offense.
Miller was spotted on crutches Monday but Cable termed it a precaution and said he expected him to play.
Quarterback Bruce Gradkowski took some snaps with the first team offense along with Jason Campbell, although the walk-throughs did not call for him to throw anything more than a medium-depth pass at much less than peak velocity.
More to come . . .

Rivers to Moss, Jackson and Floyd, that is scary.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:02 pm
According to Schefter we are the team to watch for picking up Moss. If he passes us, then its Miami, and if not them then Tennessee will get him.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:02 pm

November 3rd, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Schefter sez Oakland and Miami are the only teams ahead of Tennessee who might claim Moss.
When is the waiver wire officially released?
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:03 pm
Look at bcz24 scoopin’ me! LOL
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:03 pm
Henne would be the happiest man in Florida if the ‘Fins grab him. Throwing to Brandon Marshall, Randy Moss and Davone Bess will make a QB’s life easier.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:03 pm
We have good young WRs that need to play so they can continue to grow.Bringing in a jerk like Moss would serve no positive purpose.If a vet WR was brought in he would be for insurance and he would ride the pine most of the time.Scumbag Moss would never go for that.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:03 pm
I thought he cleared waivers at 4pm, but there is no word on it anywhere yet, so not sure.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:04 pm
1 pm in Oakland
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:04 pm
I would think San Diego would consider Moss. But maybe Moss wouldn’t want to be around Norvel again?
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:04 pm
Just Hope the Rivers to Moss, Jackson and Floyd, that is scary
at this point SD still the team to beat in our division in my opinion with Jackson Floyd coming back soon
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:06 pm
Even in KC, with Bowe, and that running game that would be scary.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:06 pm
I’m gonna guess the Raiders pass on him and the Dolphins step in and snake the Titans.

You have to take your emotion out of the decision from his previous stint here. Moss brings us a bona fide deep threat, you CANT stack 8 in the box with him on the field, if you do you will get torched. Period. Moss has a LOT to play for right now after getting dumped by 2 teams in month. If he finishes the year strong he could still get another big contract. If he repeats his antics with a 3rd team, he certainly wont get that contract, and may not be able to find a home at all next year.

I agree. Let’s pray he doesn’t go to San Diego. That would be scary.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:08 pm
Titans are one spot before KC in the pecking order. So at least he will not go there.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:09 pm
Schefter’s most recent tweet:
“Keep in mind, Al Davis never really wanted to trade Randy Moss. Others in organization did. Mr. Davis has chance to get him again. Why not?
half a minute ago via ÜberTwitter ”
Is he hinting that he knows something or just trying to keep the drama going until the league releases the official waiver claims?
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:09 pm
Moss was set to clear waivers at 4pm eastern and still no word.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:10 pm
The Raiders can get a top 10 wr for free, why wouldn’t you do it?
Not only that but if he leaves in the offseason, they would get a pick, prob a 3rd.
The Raiders could then trade back up into the first with their 2nd and 3rd or 4th, depending on where they are picking and have a 1 and 3 next year. Or keep it and have 1 2 and 2 3’s.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:10 pm
Moss = been there done that
He is a super talented head case that an organization like Oakland simply can’t handle due to the lack of stability and leadership in the franchise at this time. You need a strong willed QB and HC to handle Moss…NE had it and even they tired of his act.
I don’t see an upside in picking up Moss. Should have went after TO in the offseason if you wanted a problem child WR. At least TO plays and practices at 100%.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:11 pm
man i just hope for a sellout, have a new born and a daughter with special needs haven’t been able to make a game yet this year, only the 49er game and that sucked wish i could be there so bad on sunday. please sell out and no randy moss we don’t need that cancer he quit on us before we need someone that will play every play

Exactly the point i have tried to make. People cant see past their emotion from his first trip here.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:12 pm
Anyone know who claimed him? Has to be tweeted by now.
We need a vet WR at least until Louis and Chaz are back.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:12 pm
San Diego and Denver will both have a crack at him first with san Diego being the more likely to snag him. If he doesn’t go there, there’s a chance al will grab him to keep him outta kc. It’s all just speculation until we find out he went to a team no one suspected. Wouldn’t that be funny?
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:12 pm

I was just going to say, the surest way for us NOT to sign Moss is for Schefter to say we ARE!
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:12 pm
San Diego would never pick Moss. The just dumped Roid Boy and have there own diva in Jackson. A.J. would never pick him up. I hope Moss doesn’t come back to the Raiders, because of the set back it would give to the current young WR corp, but if he does come back, I will welcome him with open arms, even though the bad press and drama in Oakland would be back. Just win, Baby!

accurate assesment
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:13 pm
Pass on Moss, please. Can’t believe the Raiders would even entertain the idea. See what DHB can do with everything on his shoulders, and see what you’ve really got with Jacoby Ford, who strikes me as a Jeremy Maclin type.
I say rest Zach Miller against the Chiefs. Having had plantar fasciitis — I assume that’s the kind of arch injury we’re talking about with Miller — I can tell you it needs rest to heal, and like a pulled hammie, will keep coming back if you don’t. Take advantage of the bye week and give the guy a good 2 -1/2 weeks of real rest. Remember when everyone thought Brandon Meyers was a great late-round steal? Well, let’s see.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:13 pm
Still nothing
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:13 pm
I guess if Moss steps out of line, Cable can always break his jaw
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:13 pm
Ranked No. 22 in the NFL waiver priority order, the Titans have reportedly submitted a waiver claim for Randy Moss.
With 20 minutes left before the deadline, the Rams (at No. 13 in the order) are also “strongly considering” using a waiver claim — if they haven’t already — according to SI.com’s Don Banks. Banks adds the Dolphins (No. 18) and Saints (No. 21) as teams that could grab Moss before he gets to Tennessee. He also calls the Chargers (at No. 10) “a potential surprise entry.”

There would be some dissapointed people in our locker room if he entered but he does require safety help and we have speedsters on the other side of him that also require attention which would make our running game, Rb’s/fb out of the backfield, and Zach Miller alot of room to operate. IF he wants to come here I say bring him
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Mortreport just tweeted that the NFL wont inform anyone of the decision for about another 45 minutes.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:14 pm
3.3M for 8 game rental for moss AND a 3rd rd pick when he leaves?
DO IT (aint our money…uncapped year to boot)
If we had chaz or murphy (or a developed DHB) ready to go I say pass.
We dont.
Even Z MILLER CANT BE COUNTED ON DUE TO INJURY!
Teams will shut us down soon with NO wideout threat whatsoever.
Even the Chiefs have Bowe.
DO IT AL.

This is why you pick up Moss. At the very least trade trade and draft pick value.
I agree Moss needed to leave here last time…but not for a 4TH ROUND DRAFT PICK!!!
All the hype around Moss tells you he is still coveted in the league. You get Moss for free. If he plays good. If not we can finally get something of decent value for him in return instead of John freakin Bowie!

I ain’t trippin. At least he didn’t go anywhere in our division.

Al selecting Moss would be an acknowledgment that his selection of DHB didn’t work. I know Al gave up on Russell, but that was probably only due to his drug use. I just can’t see Al giving up on DHB that quickly.

You don’t get the compensatory pick the year that the player leaves. You get it the following year after he signs with another team and depends on how he played that year. We didn’t get the pick right after woodson left, we got it the following draft after he was in GB that season.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:20 pm
The idea of Moss clearing out space for Miller and DMac is awesome to think about.
But is either Grads or Campbell the guy who can chuck it deep for Moss? And is his instability worth it in any case?
Looks like Al decided “no” and I can’t say I disagree.

The more I think about it, the more I think it makes sense to pick him up. The chefs already said they don’t want him, our main competition would be SD, but moss is not fond of norv, who knows at this point? Al did like him, he could very well throw some money at moss.

November 3rd, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Titans acquired WR Randy Moss off waivers from the Vikings.
The Rams, Redskins, Raiders, and Dolphins all opted to pass. Ranked 30th in the league in pass attempts per game, Tennessee isn’t a great landing spot for Moss’ fantasy value. It’s going to make Chris Johnson an even more dangerous back, however, as defenses won’t be able to load up the box with eight and nine defenders consistently due to the routine double teams Moss will command. The acquisition reconfirms an already bleak outlook for Kenny Britt’s (hamstring) recovery; Britt has already been ruled out for Week 10. The move doesn’t figure to help Nate Washington much, and Justin Gage will move into a clear-cut reserve role. The Titans are on a bye, so Moss has two weeks to pick up Mike Heimerdinger’s offense before a Week 10 game at Miami. Though Moss won’t be a good bet for 3-5 catches a game down the stretch, he’ll remain a strong candidate for weekly touchdowns. He’s scored five times in seven games this season.

thank goodness we did the right thing and passed on Moss. Grad better be 100% healthy if he starts this week. He better not be lying to the coaching staff.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Last comment on Moss…I guess he’s just frustrated with his whole career and that’s why he’s a total headache now. He’s arguably one of the best WRs in the history of the game and he still couldn’t get his ring…thank you NY Giants for ruining him and the patriots.

No KC played Buffalo because they each came 4th in their respective division. We play Pitt and Mia because of the 3rd place and the whole AFC south and NFC west. That’s how programming goes. It’s actually smart enough to help weaker teams by matching up with weaker rivals.
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:54 pm
I still don’t understand why the Vikings cut Moss in the first place. Did he steal someone’s car?

November 3rd, 2010 at 1:55 pm
If we think back to 2002 we started off the season 4-0. Then we lost the next four straight and everyone was counting us out. We were 4-4.
Then Rod Wooson had the 98 yard interception for a TD against the Broncos and that was the catalyst that rejuvenated our season. We won the next 7 out of 8. Sometimes one big play or game can turn everything around.
Hopefully the last two games for us have been the catalyst for our season!

November 3rd, 2010 at 2:01 pm
ArmChair,
Everyone here knows about the 2002 season. Thanks for reminding us that any team can turn the corner at any time.
Also, that 2002 team was 5 years in the making, and were already a good team. That’s been the problem with the Raiders since that era ended. The Raiders just roll the dice on the big play and the big turnaround now, instead of taking the time to build the team into a winner. The 2002 team was the product of a rebuild that took place in the late ’90s.

Wow, good move passing on Moss, Mr. Davis. No wonder you are in the HOF (should be twice).
November 3rd, 2010 at 2:07 pm
RMR we started rebuilding last season, and I believe this is the season we can be a wildcard team. Next season we can improve even more.
But there is nothing in the AFC West that indicates that we can’t take the division.

November 3rd, 2010 at 2:10 pm
All the way back in 2004 Al thought he didn’t have much time left, and had to therefore “reload” so to speak instead of rebuild. Well, here we are, 6 years later, and Al’s still here. Evidently he had more time than he thought. And if he’d decided to rebuild back then instead of pissing away money on guys like Randy Moss and Kerry Collins, hoping for a quick turnaround, the Raiders would probably have a solid team today that at least competes for a playoff spot every year, if not better. So now here’s Al today, still using the “I don’t have much time left” philosophy, throwing the dice instead of taking his time and building a solid unit. In 6 years, he’ll be sitting up there in the owners box wondering why his puppet coach and castaway acquisitions can’t get it done then, too.

We are 2-0 in the division.
If we win the division that equals a wildcard berth, and then anything could happen. You can’t realistically put a damper on our level of play the last two weeks. The momentum is in our direction right now.

DHB may aspire to one day become Alvis Whited, but he will never catch the great James Jett. Jett actually hauled in 256 passes and had 30 Td’s. DHB will never match that production, but he may have similar ball skills as these two future hall of flamers.

And just couldn’t understand why he got yanked, lol. Then Bruce proceded to win the game, however the hands-like-feet of Darrius Heyward-Bey kinda put the kibosh on all that.
Best coaching move Cable ever made was about the most painfully obvious one.
Maybe the second best was benching Campbell. And before the Campbell Crowd jumps all over me, what I mean by that is that Campbell, being a first round guy who (to my knowledge) had never been pulled and never had to come off the bench, gets some humility.
He then procedes to relieve Bruce in SD, manage us to a win, do a complete 180 in SF, then a complete 180 again in Denver and again v. the Seahawks.
Competition is good. This is why signing Jake (or even just bringing him in for a look-see) is a good idea and maybe puts Satele on notice.

Competition is good. This is why signing Jake (or even just bringing him in for a look-see) is a good idea and maybe puts Satele on notice.
——————
Why do you think Satele needs to be “put on notice”? Do you not think the benching for a rook “put him on notice”?
He has also been playing a lot better since he got his starting job back. The man has been dinged up in both of the last two games, concussion/Broncos, and knee/Seahakws. With the way JV has played LT the last two weeks the time has come to stop the JV center at experiment, and pick up a decent backup.

So now that Childress has officially foooked himself in Minny, who will be coaching the Viqueens next year? I’d bet Gruden might be willing to look at them.
Good running game and D in place….throw in a Brad Johnson and what do you know!
I’d take the Viqueens job over the Cowgirls any day of the week!

I don’t think it was enough. Satele has played OK the last two games and shaky prior to those.
Being that we need Veldheer at LT and everyone knows that now, Satele shouldn’t be allowed to rest on his laurels.
That being said, competition can only do so much. Raiders are still in the market for a good C, (maybe) RG, and RT and will have to wait til the offseason. They can get it done this year with this group though, as we have seen.

After how bad he looked coming out of preseason, he has been playing well enough. I would defiantly replace him if better were available, I just don’t see much available ATM.
I think his injuries are the best reason to get him a backup.
November 3rd, 2010 at 3:47 pm
No Moss, please. All we need is for the receivers we do have to CATCH THE FRICKIN BALL!
November 3rd, 2010 at 3:49 pm
How bad must McNabb feel right now? A couple days after his coach basically called him fat and out of shape the team brings in of all people Jamarcus Russell for a tryout. How fat and out of shape must you be for your coach to give Jamarcus the Hutt a call?

That’s just it. Catching the ball at this level is a talent in and of itself. You’re playing in a faster, harder hitting game than college, with smarter defensive strategies you’re playing against. Only certain players are capable of catching the ball on a consistent basis in this league. Randy Moss has proven himself to be one of them.

Moss is a quitter, and this team doesn’t need quitters. It’s as simple as that

Picking up Moss would have been a win win for us. Even if he refused to play, we would have been awarded a draft pick, which we could surely use for next season, considering that we don’t have a first round pick.
November 3rd, 2010 at 4:01 pm

Besides coming out and basiclly calling Chilly and idiot, he dissed some mom and pop catering company at a team dinner. Read the article:

Even if we win against KC, Pitts is our real test. It’s how we play against them that will get this team the respect we’ve ALL been seeking and deserve.
one game at a time my brother, KC played Indy till the end and were missing our best defender Nnamdi, Murphy, and have our best offensive player ZMiller hobbled
November 3rd, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Big Chill, still sounds like he was joking. I think both the Vikings and this mom and pops caterer need to light up. It’s Randy Moss. Randy Moss was the best player on that team. The only character issue that should have sent him packing is murdering someone, or something of that nature. Breaking a catering company’s balls? Cry me a river. They’re lucky they’re even catering for an NFL team.
November 3rd, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Do you guys really think Moss was released because he didn’t like the food? Really? Moss new Childress was a moron and let his feelings known. That is why he was cut.

passes across middle he would half put his arms out, man just pick a game when he was here and look at the film and you can see, he was lacksadasical the whole time, he didn’t even try sometimes, he would have aligator arms and not strecth out for the catch.

# Drexl Says:
November 2nd, 2010 at 6:55 pm
After reading couple of Moss articles I’m thinking he and his agent got together after the game on Sunday and had a chatt that went something like this:
Moss: Holy Keerist Chilly is an idiot. I told him everything the Pats were going to do. I drew up diagrams, I detailed everything they would need to know about how to go about beating the Pats today.
Segal: I was there, I’m feeling you dawg, Chilly is a complete moron.
Moss: Joel give me a sure fire, can not miss way to get the f#ck out of Minnesota ASAP.
Segal: Welp, there is the Monday night chow fest that sweet family outa St Paul is providing the food for. You could dis them,,,,,,,
Moss: Na man you think, sure would be cold. I could say “who the f#ck ordered this sheet.
Segal: Yup, dude, throw in something about you wouldnt feed your dogs this crap.
Moss: Cool, I got this covered.
Moss on his way back to the facilities after out running KK in the Safeway parking lot thinks: “i’ll throw something in there about my pile being huge, yup, yup”.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/11/02/caterer-says-favre-wasnt-happy-with-randys-food-rant/
Since we’ve already devoted plenty of space today to the latest chapter in the soap opera that has become the life and times of Randy Moss, here’s another one.
As we explained earlier today, Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports reported that Moss acted like the part of the horse onto which a saddle isn’t placed when a catered meal was made available to the players after Friday’s practice. The owner of the restaurant that provided the food, Gus Tinucci, has corroborated the account, both to the St. Paul Pioneer Press and on ESPN.
“That player was pretty well right on with what he said,” Tinucci told Robert Flores.
Tinucci also has shared a tidbit that sheds the first light on the possible reaction of quarterback Brett Favre to the release of Moss.
“If Favre would have had a ball, he would have beaned him right in the head. Favre looked at him like, ‘Are you kidding me?’” Tinucci told the Pioneer Press.
We’ll find out more regarding Favre’s reaction to the decision to cut Moss when the quarterback meets with the media on Wednesday. And Favre can go a long way toward burying the hatchet with coach Brad Childress by providing a candid assessment of Randy’s antics on and off the field — and by explaining that no team can be successful with a guy like that around.
November 3rd, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Please note: although I do not want Moss at this time, I still have him on my all-time team. He is great at his best. We just don’t need some bad attitude, loud mouthed moron on the team right now. Things are heading in the right direction.
