Tom Cable Q&A
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, November 17th, 2010 at 4:45 pm in Oakland Raiders.
A transcript of Raiders’ coach Tom Cable at his press briefing Wednesday following practice:
Cable: Heyward-Bey did not practice, he strained a hamstring last Tuesday at practice Schilens did not practice Zach Miller practiced limited, John Henderson practiced limited, as did Nnamdi Asomugha
Q: How much work did those three do?
Cable: It was a decent amount; hopefully it will be more Thursday, We want to kind of put them so through some things today and see how they feel Thursday. If they feel like they did at the end of practice, we’re probably going to get more and more out of them
Q: That sounds encouraging …
Cable: Very.
Q: Could you rank those three, who is the farthest from coming back?
Cable: Not really. I think they’re all about the same. They’re doing well
Q: How serious is Heyward-Bey’s injury?
Cable: It’s just sore. It’s a real slight strain, not real serious, but it’s one of those things where if you push it too much too quick, it could become serious.
Q: Did Schilens have a setback?
Cable: It’s not so much a setback, it’s responded really well when we’re on the field running straight ahead; it’s just a matter of being able to cut and coming in and out of cuts. Still not very smooth yet.
Q: What has been the impact of Hue Jackson?
Cable: He has been a big lift for us in that we’ve taken some stuff he brought from Baltimore and his past at Cincinnati and put it with what was here and he’s done a nice job meshing the whole thing together.Some of the specific things, a little more gap scheme in terms of running the football and I think his idea of throwing the ball down the field bodes well for what we’re trying to do. A lot of it is play-action. It’s been a real good fit that way.
Q: Roethlisberger very good when flushed out of the pocket, what’s the best way to defend him?
Cable: I think you have to keep him in the pocket. We’re very aware that one, escapeability, he may be as good as there is. Outside the pocket, he’s dramatically, to another level, dramatically better than most. So you want to squeeze him from all angles, whether it’s with pressure or with a four-man rush. The biggest thing is if you get your hands on him is to wrap him up. I think that’s the biggest thing. That’s the biggest thing. Very good at getting out of sacks and potential traffic. And then you stay in coverage on the back end, because that’s where he does a really good job is escaping and throwing the ball down the field.
Q: How much more difficult in that you play man, whereas on zone team might be looking at him, but in man guys can’t see him or what he’s doing?
Cable: I think as long as you plaster and stay on your man, you’re in good shape. I think it plays to our hands a little bit better because we are a man team. If you’re in zone and looking to him and he escapes and moves out you start losing people in coverage.
Q: You watched last year’s game and comeback with your team what point did that serve?
Cable: I watched it last year on Monday, but we used it as part of the breakdown to some extent. I think the importance is we were just there almost 12 months ago, that we went in there, hung in there, hung in there, and found a way to win the game. I think, when you talk about when you’re going to Pittsburgh , people want to talk about their style of play, talk about their crowd, a very football savvy group of people. Just the fact that we’ve been there, found a way to have success there and just to kind of reiterate the fact that this is another team.
Q: Players have been talking about how you connect with them. Who have been your coaching influences?
Cable: I think I’ve had a lot of good influences. My college coach was Dennis Erickson. My high school coach, Dick Armstrong. Guys who have mentored me in this league, Alex Gibbs, Steve Mariucci, Keith Gilbertson. I’ve had very good fortune in terms of who I’ve been around, and I think all those guys had one thing in common and that was they connected with the players.
Q: A lot of energy today as practice opened . . .
Cable: I think that comes with success. We’ve won a few games now and you come back from the bye, we’re healthier, we’re excited for the second half of the season. You look out there, and you all do a good job of kind of telling them where they’re at and what’s ahead of them and all that. So there is a lot of excitement, a lot of energy. We’re excited about going to Pittsburgh and the opportunity that’s ahead of it. And it just comes from finding some success.
Q: How do you address the danger of being overconfident?
Cable: I won’t let that happen. We haven’t done a damn thing, and that’s been our motto. We have got to keep grinding and fighting and going to work and cutting it loose and doing what we do. I think if I ever feel like we lose sight of that, I’ll reel them back in, but that’s not us, at least not yet.
Q: Do you feel as if you still have something to prove to people about your being a contender?
Cable: You do because we have to have that feeling. For one, we haven’t done anything yet. We have won three games in a row, we’re 5-4, we missed a kick in Arizona , we didn’t score a touchdown at San Francisco . And those two things kind of, from a coach’s standpoint, really gnaw at you because you kind of know what you’re team should be. But we’re not. So, in order to accomplish anything, we have got to keep doing our job, which is getting better.
Q:Do you sense a boost in Ford’s confidence after big game vs. KC?
Cable: Not really. I’ve kind of thought from the very beginning that Jacoby had that air about him. It was just a matter of getting him acclimated him, teaching him the system and then finding out where he fits. And what coaches do is, find out where can you use a guy and what kind of role can he have. But he’s always been a confident guy in who he is.\
Q: Can you emulate the Patriots and other teams that spread out the Steelers and beat them with the pass, or are you not built that way?
Cable: We’re really not. You hit it on the head. We have to be who we are. At the same time, you look at some of the issues that they had on Sunday night was about spreading them out and mixing them up. Where do you have that fine line between what we are and what our strengths are into trying to be something maybe a little more that way, meaning spread? At the end of the day, be who you are and you might mix in a few things.

Wait I thought the Patriots beat the Steelers with Play-Action?

November 17th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
Yup. Those early morning games have proved brutal for the Raiders. This time could be different coming off a bye week as they are out of the “routine” and have not played for a while. Then again, bye’s have been brutal to the Raiders.
Call me crazy but I got a feeling this time may be differnt.
I still think Hue/Cable is going to throw more despite what Cable publicly said above. Its not going to be the Patriots style of throwing though. This is going to be more downfield stuff in comparison.

Is that another threat? Reeks of it. Wow. You guys are fired up today. And the Raiders are winning, too. You’d think these desperate measures were limited to when the team’s losing.

November 17th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
I think we have to spread them out as in go 3 and 4 wides and run out that formation rather than the 12 formation. We can still run power when we need to but I see what coach is saying he doesn’tb think we’re quite ready to leave the 2 OT’s on their own he still wants to cover them up. Add OT and and a TE and run 22 and 21 formation. Whatever works he knows bettr than I do.
November 17th, 2010 at 5:08 pm

This is going to be Hue Jacks new wrinkle…100 percent certain…
November 17th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
I can see running 3-4 WR sets and running out of that formation. I think you would see plenty of that. Also, you would likely see DMC shift out of the backfield a good bit of times to WR this game. You just don’t ignore the obvious that the Steelers are weakest in pass defense.
Yes, you can try to run it on them and see where you stand but I would not build a game plan around having to run the ball. If its there – great. If not – you didn’t game plan for it
November 17th, 2010 at 5:14 pm
No doubt Hujack is the man, They know what gameplan to use and how to use it(players). I know one thing hey better be ready to run all day long.
November 17th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Nah. Either DMC or Reece will shift out. Shifting out Reece while keeping DMC in the backfield would be helluva confusing for me considering that Reece has proven to be a viable threat in the open field.

Put DMAC in motion, with 3 or 4 wides how in the hell do you defend that????

Sounds good. Then again, the Raiders could go into Max Protect formations.
November 17th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
The Patriots acutally ran a lot of double TE sets. We could (Hopefully) see Myers and Miller on the field and I bet Myers will have a big game. Heck Barnes has a good chance of getting another pass.

November 17th, 2010 at 5:23 pm
Barnes got way too much press for that TD pass, even won some “something of the week” I saw. It would be something they would keep an eye out for – so running that play on consecutive weeks may not work.
November 17th, 2010 at 5:26 pm
Were the second best run team in the league with the best RB in the league so just because others haven’t been able to run on them doesn’t mean we can’t. We run the ball we keep our D fresh and our front four destroys their Oline
November 17th, 2010 at 5:26 pm
I have read a couple of blogs where they say, in order for picks to beat us throw 8 in the box…
Force JC to beat us….

Yeah 909 Raider, the game will be on in so cal and i can’t be happier! This is 2 games in a row on tv down here now. Could be the start of getting our RAIDER football back down here again.Back when we were winning we were always on tv every sunday.
SO CAL still loves the RAIDERS!!!!!!!
Go RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 17th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
Matchup wise believe it or not we should beat the Steelers. The Raiders have a better offense and a fairly even defense. You can give the Steelers something for home field advantage.

November 17th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
I agree the Steelers best advantage is their at home. I even think our defense is better than there’s they have a very good run defense partly due to effectiveness and partly due to reputation.
November 17th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Well Thec07 in all honesty the last 5 teams have tried that and 4 failed. So let ‘em think it until he beats them.

I haven’t anybody stop the spread formation all year.
That’s why Hue Jackson calls the plays, Tom.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
2 teams will come out of the AFC West…
November 17th, 2010 at 6:02 pm
I know KK I know…..
This Jason Campbell is lot better than people want to believe there are those that think he can’t play. If you sleep on this guy he will hurt you. I dare them to stack the box and sincerely hope they do. It’ll be a long day if they can’t get to Campbell in time.
November 17th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Well I do do think we’re gonna have to “scheme it up” a little bit because they’re probably gonna gear up to stop the run. But that’s what Hue seems to be good at is mixing it up and keeping teams a little off balanced. Question is can our pass offense be effective and move the chains? I say yes!
November 17th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
Tj, when you think about it with our O thats all that picks can hope for is attacking the box….
That qtr cover hocus pocus dropping harrison in coverage is going to egaul huge gains…
They better guess right if they guess wrong, 3 games come to mind;
Oak vs Den
Den vs KC
MVICK vs Wash
November 17th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
it has been very effective for McF to succeed since HueJack asked him what plays he preferred and was most comfortable with and then those plays have been implemented.
asking JC the same question, well…he was very successful and comfortable handing off to Cadillac and Brown at Auburn…so…

Game plan for Sunday:
• Snap the ball
• Move the chains
• Get the 1st down
• Repeat
• Repeat
• Repeat
• Score 7
• KO deep
• Recover turnover
• Back to step 1
What is required is a solid game plan and patience. Hit them in the mouth and do it again. Wear them down. Frustrate them. Beat them some more. Take away their receivers, stuff their runners and sack their QB. Create takeaways. Dominate and win the game.
There it is in a nutshell. We can do it. We have done it. We will do it again.

The thing i like about this matchup is that alot of hue’s coaching background came in the AFC North. This guy is familiar with the defense and the players in it. He played agaisnt them 2 (or ?)times last year with the Ravens. Give him 2 weeks to get ready, and i think he will have a good gameplan in place, it will be up to the players to execute. On defense I know that we have alot of sacks, but we have also missed oppurtunities for alot of others and that is bad news agaisnt Big Ben thats when he makes his biggest plays.
November 17th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
PD81.. I agree, watching this team become a team has been one of the more inspiring aspects of this season.
Just Win Baby…
November 17th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Thec I think its unlikely for 2 teams to come out of the West. Miami has the same record as us, and Pitt and NE are the wildcards right now at 6-3. To even think about the wild card we would have to beat pitt.
November 17th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Gonna be a big priority for Wembley and Houston to keep Ben inthe pocket to be dropped by Big Rich and TK,
prolly Shonasty will introduce himself too…
November 17th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
7-2? 9er game o was supremely outplayed & texan game I thought we had a better chance if we caught the damn ball.
November 17th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
raider d-line will eat the steeler o-line 4 breakfast.
November 17th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Can’t wait to see what Hue cooks up for the Steelers.
November 17th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
We need to stay away from the pre snap penalties this week. Can’t afford to give them anything!
November 17th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
haven’t watched much of the steelers this yr. but you got to think that their injury problems in the o-line has to be their biggest concern heading into sunday… now the raider d-line has been the best unit on the team this yr.

its a good matchup 4 the raiders. steelers are banged up a bit and we’re off the bye, confident, still hungry to prove a point 2 the league. i really believe the raiders have the advantage at the los, on both sides of the ball. huge on d. this is a type of game you have to put your foot on the throat of the opponent.

we will run the ball on pitt, just watch. the raiders will come out and match their intensity and physicality. that is what will make headlines as much as the win. we will play smashmouth football with enuff spread to kick azz. people are going to be shocked to see us ruff them up. dmc another 100 yd day and 2 tds. book it.

November 17th, 2010 at 8:36 pm

I’m just fired up to know our players are working hard every week and coming out and surprising teams by showing up. Last year we prolly showed up to half of our games, and the Steelers was one of them. Certain games you have to win to keep your job. This year is totally different. They are playing football and putting up numbers and trying to win the division. That’s awesome.

Stop the run…take Mendenhall and Moore out of the game. ~ John Henderson! ~ Keep the score low and allow the offense to stay in game plan
No turnovers on offense
Get the running game going and protect the QB

bottom line is we have to score tds and early. we must have atleast 4 big plays of 30 or more yds in this game. they dont give up alot of long drives so u have to get them long when the chance is there. thats how we can loosen them up. this is where we need dmc to give us some of those 60-80 yds tds runs he did at arkansas. im expecting the unexpected cuz its about time we do it. im sick of all this damn steeler talk. fugg them!!

The thing i like about this matchup is that alot of hue’s coaching background came in the AFC North. This guy is familiar with the defense and the players in it. He played agaisnt them 2 (or ?)times last year with the Ravens. Give him 2 weeks to get ready, and i think he will have a good gameplan in place, it will be up to the players to execute. On defense I know that we have alot of sacks, but we have also missed oppurtunities for alot of others and that is bad news agaisnt Big Ben thats when he makes his biggest plays.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Oakland Raiders impose Marshal Law on Pittsburgh when Ben Rottenburger and his mthr-fking offensive ass bites attempted some offensive behavior that was detrimental to Oaklands post seaon drive. The Raiders would have nothing to do with that. Rottenburgers outburst was incongruous to the defense, and the unanimous decision to enforce Marshall Law on the bastards was quickly enacted, removing sh1thead and company from the field to the bench. No arrest were made. Marshall Law quickly solved the problem.
November 17th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
next year we need to get rg/rt wr wlb fb db. need depth and toughness inside on the oline and a reliable wr whether its a veteran or a rookie. a true olb is a must to complete the front 7 and a ballhawk to take advantage of that front 7 is required. we have to get more ints. a lead blocking fb will also free up reece as well as taking that running game to a new level.
November 17th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Armond I like the versatility between Scott and Groves and Howard for WLB. We need to continue to get a edge rushers and DT’s and add depth to the Oline. I want a young promising QB and and possesion WR and I definitely want a scatback just in case DMC gets nicked because when he was out we suffered this year we need that lightning out of the backfield.
November 17th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Scott has been pretty disappointing this year, even as a situational pass rusher. He occasionally gets some pressure, but not many sacks. I think he was best as an OLB pass rushing. He may have a chance as a 3-4 OLB
November 17th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
priest i forgot about de cuz we only have 3. there are some good olbs next year we cant pass on. i dont like many qbs that much next year which is why i dont mind waiting. i would love to have shane vereen or jacquizz rodgers as a 3rd rb. what college wrs do u like and would u make a play for vincent jackson?
November 17th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
Armond you took the words out of my mouth with Rodgers and Vereen. They are exactly what I had envisioned. I’m not sure who you’re thinking about in terms of OLB.
The WR’s i like are not big names but they are what I think would be great physical types that can move the chains. One is Greg Little of UNC and David Ausberry of USC there are others but we can get those 2 cheap and they’re big targets who aare hard to bring down.

Raiders won’t attack Steelers in same way Patriots did
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on November 18, 2010, 8:39 AM EST
New England had some success spreading the Steelers defense out last Sunday night, but that’s not the Raiders style. Oakland has improved offensively this year with power running and play-action passing. Don’t expect them to change.
“We’re really not [built that way],” Cable said via the Oakland Tribune. “We have to be who we are. At the same time, you look at some of the issues that they had on Sunday night was about spreading them out and mixing them up. . . . At the end of the day, be who you are and you might mix in a few things.”
(It’s worth noting the Patriots also had plenty of success against Pittsburgh in two-tight end power formations.)
One reason it may be tougher for the Raiders to spread out the Steelers is that they are short at wide receiver. Darrius Heyward-Bey strained his hamstring at practice during the bye week and it sounds like he won’t play this week. Chaz Schilens, meanwhile, may not return this season, according to Vittorio Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle. It sounds like his knee isn’t recovering well.
Raiders-Steelers should be a fun matchup to watch because it will pit strength-on-strength. Oakland’s ground game is second in yards and third in yards-per-carry this year. The Steelers are first in both categories.
November 18th, 2010 at 6:37 am
To bad for Chaz Schilens. It seems closer and closer to him never playing again.
A shame that he had to have his few years in the league playing with Jamarcus Russell. Would have liked to see what he can do for a full year under a real offense and a real QB.

A shame that he had to have his few years in the league playing with Jamarcus Russell. Would have liked to see what he can do for a full year under a real offense and a real QB.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Jerry’s right when he says that there’s no real point to cut Schilens because he has good talent at a 7th rounder’s salary. But it’s getting to the point that I think another training camp injury next year means he’s cut. They can only afford to have him sucking up a roster spot for so long, especially now that they’re getting good.
I agree that it’s a damn shame he was stuck with JaDrank. Schilens looked pretty awesome with the worst QB of the last 10 years throwing to him. A whole season with Campbell and Grads (no world beaters, but at least competent!) would’ve been nice to see.
November 18th, 2010 at 6:46 am
Some are trying to manufacture a QB controversy and allude that Cable will pull the plug quickly on Campbell if he gets off to a slow start.
November 18th, 2010 at 6:48 am
I agree that Chaz is cheap and easy to roster. They could keep him like Miller till week 16, I guess.
But why? What would be the point?
Why not sign Grove and work on getting him to speed. The center position is paper thin, and we can’t rely on Satele.
I don’t know why we don’t just move on from Schilens.
November 18th, 2010 at 6:49 am
I don’t think the Steel Curtain has seen a running back like DMC calibur!
Steelers have kept RB’s under 100 yrds rushing this season, not this Sunday.
I see DMC having a 120 yrds rush., 1 TD, 4 rec. 45 yard game!

I agree. The Steelers are banged up, but still have the speedy LBs, that does worry me a bit.
But it’s not unlike the Seahawk game in that regard. Weak DT’s plus strong LB’s and we still dominated the LOS.

They’d cut Bruce Davis first and rightfully so. Which, by the way, I’d wish they’d do and sign Grove.
What if Satele shreds a knee on the first play of the game? Then it’s Veldheer to center and Mario Henderson in at LT and my confidence in winning the game takes a drop.

Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if DMac gets only 50-75 yards on the ground, but cuts them up for like 8 receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown or two.
This is a game to take advantage of his versatility. Marcel Reece too for that matter.

People around the league don’t know what to think of the Raiders. At first they give them props, but now you see the old disrespect is setting in. People are betting on the Steelers.

To give you a flavor of the Raider-hate I have been reading on another website:
“The Raiders have been playing well in each of the last three games, en route to a three game winning streak. In that stretch, Jason Campbell took over for an injured Bruce Gradkowski. This week Gradkowski is back to 100% healthy, but HC Tom Cable is going with Campbell as his starter.
The Raiders travel across the country to Pittsburgh, who is coming off an embarrassing Monday Night Football loss to the Patriots. Interestingly enough, Gradkowski, who grew up in Pittsburgh, is one of only a handful of QBs who has ever passed for 300 yards with 3 TD passes as an opposing QB at Pittsburgh. He did so last year in a win with Oakland. I’m sure that must be going through Tom Cable’s mind.
If Campbell struggles, don’t be surprised to see Gradkowski enter the game in the second half.
Teams cannot run on the Steelers, so they don’t even try. In fact, opposing QBs have attempted at least 33 passes against the Steelers in every game since week 4. The Steelers have also allowed 7 TD passes in the last three games. If Jason Campbell can’t stretch the field against PIT, look for Gradkowski to get a chance.
Louis Murphy is expected back, as is Zach Miller. Jacoby Ford is also someone to target as a flex option this week. Don’t be afraid of the Steelers defense, unless we’re talking about RBs.
Darren McFadden is not a good start, but he could see 4+ catches in the game to give him some additional receiving stats.
“
November 18th, 2010 at 6:59 am
I hope that Cable isn’t bluffing in the Q&A.
I hope he goes strength vs strength and we dominate the LOS. When that happens, watch the Steelers try that fluky spread offense.
Man coverage and 4 rushers and the only ace in the hole is Roethilsberger getting out of the pocket. Contain him and it’s checkmate.
November 18th, 2010 at 6:59 am
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ed Bouchette refers to the ailment as “potentially bothersome.” Coach Mike Tomlin said the team is “probably going to slow (Polamalu) down here in the early portions of the week… with an eye toward practicing in the latter part of the week.” Tomlin expects Polamalu to play this weekend, which is certainly encouraging, but keep a close eye on this one, as it’s certainly an injury that could get worse.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:00 am
Matchup I’m most excited about is our Dline vs. their Oline.
Jonathan Scott put on one of the worst performances I have ever seen at left tackle last Sunday night. Shaughnessy will eat him alive. And if they bring the guard over to help Scott, that leaves Seymour one-on-one with Maurkice Pouncey. Pouncey is damn good, especially for a rookie, but I don’t know if he can handle Seymour without help, given the level Big Sey is playing at right now.
Also worth noting that, while Flozell Adams is still a good run blocker and has done a pretty god job at RT this year, he’s still old and slow. Houston ran a 4.85 40 at the combine at 300 pounds. There’s a good chance Lamarr will be able to blow right by Adams.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:00 am
The Steelers OC for some reason goes from Mendenhall to Moore every third series and the spread offense. It’s like clockwork. Expect that.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:01 am
Also, they could also keep Heath Miller in to help Scott out. That would allow them to double up Seymour with Kemoeatu and Pouncey, but still leaves Kelly and Houston singled up and deprives them of an excellent receiver target in Miller.

Pittsburgh
Here’s what you need to be aware of – Mike Wallace will be covered by Nnamdi Asomugha this week, so be wary starting him and don’t expect big numbers like in weeks past.
Hines Ward and Heath Miller could be the big winners in the passing game. Emmanuel Sanders was a nice fill-in for Hines Ward, but Ward is expected to play this week, which will limit his snaps.
One tidbit that favors Ben Roethlisberger – the Raiders have allowed opposing QBs to have 2 TDs per game in 8 on the 9 games this year.

What they are saying:
Pittsburgh’s rush D is the best unit in the NFL, averaging 63.2 yards allowed per game, with just four rushing TDs given up to date.
They showed a little more vulnerability than usual last week, allowing 24/103/1 to the Patriots on the ground, but don’t kid yourself – Pittsburgh’s D remains a force to be reckoned with this year.
This is a tough matchup for McFadden and Bush.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:12 am
Weather: Heinz Field expects a high of 51 F on Sunday, with a low of 40 F later in the day – there is only a 20% chance for precipitation forecast. That’s about as good as it gets in Pittsburgh, PA at this time of year – weather conditions shouldn’t play a huge role in this contest.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:14 am
If Nnamdi goes it would definitely be wise for him to shadow Wallace. If you eliminate the deep threat you dont have guys backing off the line of scrimmage. Routt can cover Ward, no question, and our safety play has been our #1 improvement over the last few weeks, so Miller doesnt worry me. Mendenhall is a good running back, but he isnt even close to the breakaway threat Charles is, and we effectively contained him. Our DLine is the best in the business today, and I dont think the steelers expect that.

I love how people assume this. I mean, I hope it’s the case, but until I see otherwise during the game, I’m just going to figure Nnamdi is going to stick to his assigned half of the field, no matter who lines up there. He has been shadowing more this year (did a hell of a job limiting Fitzgerald), but I still just assume he’ll be patrolling his assigned turf.
Also, with his ankle injury, I don’t know if it’d be a wise thing to put him on a speedster like Wallace anyway. Let Routt run with him.

Oakland Raiders Passing Offense at Pittsburgh Steelers Passing Defense (Good Matchup)
Over the past three games, all victories for Oakland, Jason Campbell has re-established his hold on the starting job at QB – he’s thrown 46/80 for 743 yards, five TDs and one interception during that time frame. Four players have seen double-digit targets from Campbell during that three week span – Jacoby Ford (15 for 10/185/0), Darrius Heyward-Bey (14 for 5/105/1), Marcel Reece (10 for 6/117/1) and Johnnie Lee Higgins (10 for 3/26/0). Zach Miller didn’t play in week nine or he’d probably be on the above list too – he saw eight targets for 4/73/1 receiving during weeks seven and eight.
Coming off the bye week, the Raiders hope to have their whole squad back on the field, though Chaz Schilens will not practice on Wednesday as his bum knee continues to be an issue – Miller (foot) is expected to practice, as is Louis Murphy (bruised lung).
Pittsburgh’s pass D was bombed for 30/43 yielding 350 net yards, three TDs and zero interceptions by the Patriots last week. Carson Palmer managed 22/36 for 218 net yards, two TDs and one interception vs. Pittsburgh two weeks ago – the Steelers’ pass D has been playing fairly poorly during November, folks. So far this year, the team is ranked 26th in the NFL averaging 252.2 net yards allowed per game, with 11 passing TDs given up vs. 11 interceptions and 24 sacks generated. Oakland is 29th in the NFL with 26 sacks allowed to date, which is a weakness in the pass blocking department that Pittsburgh will seek to exploit on Sunday.
Heinz Field is a tough place to play, and the Raiders have OL worries that may lead to problems for Campbell this week. On balance, we give the Raiders’ unit a slight edge in this matchup, but they need to protect Campbell well or things can go south in a hurry.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:17 am
Pittsburg hasnt faced the trifecta of the calibur that we are bringing. McFadden, Bush, Reece are not to be taken lightly. If Polamalu does miss the game, I expect us to embarass their Run D

Pittsburgh Steelers Passing Offense vs Oakland Raiders Passing Defense (Neutral Matchup)
Ben Roethlisberger did everything he could to rally the Steelers vs. New England, and ended up the day with a stellar 30/49 for 387 yards, three TDs and one interception (but it just wasn’t enough to catch the Patriots, who won 39-26. Hines Ward was knocked out of the game with a concussion and didn’t return to action, leaving Mike Wallace (8/136/2 receiving last week), Mewelde Moore (5/79/0), Antwaan Randle-El (5/66/0) and Heath Miller (5/60/0) to try and pick up the pieces. Ward will have to pass the NFL-mandated neurological baseline tests before returning to football activities this week – keep an eye on his practice status in Footballguys.com’s players in the news later this week to see how soon he can get back in the action. Ward did pass the tests on Wednesday, but could be subject to a setback in practices – fantasy owners invested in the Steelers’ attack should continue to monitor Ward’s status this week.
The Raiders’ pass D is a mixed bag this year – they are second in the NFL with an average of 184.8 net passing yards allowed per game, and the team has generated 27 sacks this year (third in the NFL) – and Pittsburgh is tied for 22nd in the NFL with 21 sacks allowed to date. However, they have allowed 16 passing TDs so far, and have only five interceptions to their credit (tied for 28th in the NFL). Matt Cassel threw 20/35 for 200 yards, two TDs and one interception vs. Oakland in week nine; Matt Hasselbeck could only manage 13/32 for 117 yards, zero TDs and one interception back in week eight (at Oakland).
Roethlisberger against the so-so Raiders he isn’t likely to blow up for over 300 yards passing again – on balance, this looks like a fairly even matchup to us.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:19 am
The comments from Hines Ward after his concussion last week, who’s already proven when he implied Ben Roethlisberger was weak for not returning after getting his bell rung that he doesn’t get it with regard to concussions, were again concerning. Ward again argued that he should’ve been allowed to make his own decision to return to the game after clearly being concussed, going so far as to say he just tripped on the grass walking off the field and was fine. The training staff didn’t allow themselves to be bullied after initially leaving themselves some bogus wiggle room by calling his injury a “neck” injury and correctly held him out of the game against Ward’s “better” – read “impaired” – judgment. Thankfully, Ward has already passed his concussion test and looks likely to play this week, but it’s comments like his that will continue to make the fight to take head injuries as seriously as they should be an uphill battle.

Ben will run one way, pump fake, break the tackle of a 280 lb end, run all the way to other side of the field, and throw it back across the field for 35 yards.
When he drifts out of the pocket, he is not looking to run or check down. He wants to go down the field.

NeilB,
Once he is out of the pocket, you are almost not going to take him. Just try to corral him and throw the ball before he wants to.
The dude is bigger than LB’s, and can throw the ball with defenders hanging off of him.
IMO, big Ben is a top 5 QB in this league
November 18th, 2010 at 7:46 am
expect to see zealous Zebra hankies dropped at least twice on Raider DBs on long downfield heaves by Roethlis (on one of them replays will show Seymour being blatantly held right in front of the Umpire but that will draw no flag).
those 40 yard penalties are inevitable. then the D needs to man up and limit the Pitts to Suisham FG tries on a sloppy field.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:46 am
Vick is killing teams passing from the pocket. He is just as good in the pocket today as breeze, brady or manning. His running is the last option after making his 3-4 progression reads. His mobility is unmatched. He is now the ultimate weapon.
Now in reids space age offense we see who i thought he always would be. Accuracy issues, were largely hype. In atl he was a 1 read & run qb. With crumpler and finneran as his best passing options, now he has real weapons.
Vick and that offense is the new wave of nfl qb, the future is now. You can either run with it or get ran over.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:51 am
The only reason Vick is able to look at 3 or 4 progressions is because of his scrambling ability. Teams aren’t going to blitz and lose containment, because he will just jog out of the pocket and pick up 15 yards.
Even with his success so far, if the Eagles lose this weekend, they will be on the outside looking in for a playoff spot.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:51 am
Running from a 3-4 wide set will be good, i hope we see the pistole zone read, with some ghost reverse and pitch options. I think we will also need to throw the ball on early downs as well. Throwing on first down will take pressure off the run game, and put the qb and receivers in rythm early.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:54 am
I agree with you concerning Vicks accuracy and limited weapons in Atlanta, but he is not the future of the NFL. There just arent that many guys who can do what he does. He is a phenom. A freak. Traditional pocket passers will still rule the day.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:57 am
When the Super Bowl QB’s are Matt Ryan and Tom Brady, we might want to hold this wave of the future talk.
Every year, it is two, middle-aged slow QB’s in the Super Bowl, with the exception of Big Ben.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:57 am
Having Big John Henderson inside is a lot of beef that the Steelers will have to gameplan for. Espect lots of spread and maybe some hurryup to keep the Raiders from rotating. Key will be collapsing the pocket inward, not allowing an escape route. Ben is killer when he steps out of the containment.
November 18th, 2010 at 7:59 am
Jimbo,
I expect a TON of hurry-up from the Steelers. Ben is good at running it and it’ll play to their advantage. I’d really look to see it when Henderson and/or Bryant is on the field. The more they can keep Seymour and Kelly on the sidelines, the better for them.
November 18th, 2010 at 8:01 am
JFB,
im not sure what you mean. His scrambling is a weapon with out a doubt. I agree teams shouldnt be in a hurry to rush him, so you see teams play coverage dropping 7 – 8 guys. The difference is now vick can pick you apart if you play him that way, like the rest of the great pocket passers in the league. He is right now the best qb in the nfl, he reads defense, throws the ball with deadly accuracy, and when the play breaks down he scrambles and looks to throw first. Last but not least he is still the fastest guy on the field, and a threat to score from any where.
November 18th, 2010 at 8:02 am

November 18th, 2010 at 8:02 am
SNBPA,
I hope that we can run some delay tactics like piling on tackles and deliberately finshing off thier guys so they are slow to get up. It will make the rotations easier to handle.
November 18th, 2010 at 8:04 am
In no way is Vick EVER the fastest guy on the field…
November 18th, 2010 at 8:05 am
Vick is just as good in the pocket as anybody in the nfl, only with a stronger arm. Plus he can do things the other guys could never dream of. Please stop with the pocket passer propaganda, it doesnt apply in this case.
November 18th, 2010 at 8:06 am
Are we playing Mike Vick this Sunday?
November 18th, 2010 at 8:07 am
I’ll worry about Mike Vick when we face him in Dallas….till then, unless he’s the captain of your fantasy squad, who cares?
November 18th, 2010 at 8:07 am
No doubt, Michael Vick has been the best QB the last four weeks, but talk to me when he actually wins a playoff game as a pocket QB.
Like I said, they lose this weekend, and they will be competing with about 6 teams for two wildcard spots, and may be a game behind a team or two.
He would be the MVP for October, but that isn’t worth a hill of beans. Redskins are statiscally the worst defense in the NFL, and were the second-worst heading into that game.
Giants this weekend are the #1 ranked defense, and I am pretty sure Vick won’t look like he did on Monday, and I think they will lose the game.
November 18th, 2010 at 8:08 am
Bo did you miss the washington game? Vick was by far much faster than anyone on the foreskin defense

Mistic, Vick is clearly a great runner, and fast, but there is no need to overhype him by claiming he is faster than every defender he plays. I bet in a straight line he wouldn’t break a 4.5 40 anymore.
November 18th, 2010 at 8:42 am
“At a rookie mini-camp last weekend, Vick ran the 40-yard dash in 4.36 seconds, the fastest time among the 19 draft picks and college free agents at the mandatory camp.”
http://espn.go.com/nfl/news/2001/0508/1193460.html
From answers.com: There’s a rumor around the internet that he ran in the 4.2 range but there’s no veriable source to that claim and it isn’t stated where or when he ran that time. It is generally accepted and most of Vick’s verifiable times are in the 4.3 range.

Vick has been destroying teams from the pocket this year. Including out playing manning from the pocket earlier in the year.
maybe you have only watched the one monday night game, but i have seen every game he played in this year, its no fluke.
November 18th, 2010 at 8:49 am

becuase you have only watched him once this year, outside of sport center prime time, dont assume every one is like you. It is not one stellar game, he is having a great season, and he is doing it from the pocket. he can do everything in the pocket that brady manning or breeze can do. This is what has taken his game to a new level. watch a few games then submit and informed opinion.
For the record I have never defended jc game in sf, I said it was terrible, the worst of his career. That however was an anomaly, as clearly the last few games have proven.

When i say pocket passing, I am referring to reading defense, going through progressions, making all of the throws and commanding the audibles. we already know about his running ability. How have I stereotyped any one? clearly his pocket game is off the charts, this is what now makes him the most dangerous qb in the nfl.

he is the most skilled passer, rocket arm, touch pass, deadly accurate. He reads defenses with the best in the biz. Plus his other worldly athletic ability, that cant be coached. he is as of this moment the most feared weapon, and dangerous qb in the league.

he is like steve young with the super bowl niner teams, surgically precise, only a much better arm, and clearly a better athelete.

The issue I see with your analysis of QBs, such as Campbell and Vick, is that you are taking a small slice of their careers and making declarations about them based on that small sample.
Michael Vick is playing out of his mind right now, but why not wait and see if he can sustain it?
November 18th, 2010 at 9:08 am
Is cam newton going to lose his college eligibility because of his dad? If he does will he declare early? i hope not, but if it does happen, i would love the silver and black to take him. he would fall to the middle or late rounds, where we could have a shot. he doesnt have to play right away he spend a year or two behind Campbell, learning man hood maturity and professionalism. With campbell and hu jack as matures he would have a much better support system than our last drafted qb’s have had, marinovich and russell. Plus cam is a better player, and passer than those guys were.

This is completely false. I base it on the big picture, their entire career going back to college. I have watched both guys since college and have seen what they are capable of. Now that they are in better situations in their pro career ( and vick has grown up) we are seeing what they are truly capable of, and it matches exactly what i though it would be. Fantastic qb’s.

November 18th, 2010 at 9:16 am
Campbell will need to throw on first down in pitt. this will minimize the second and long 3rd and long plays when pitt can really cause problems. it also will allow us to run from spread formations in 2nd or 3rd and short, so the defense will be off balance not knowing if we are running or passing.
I hope we do run from the spread especially if we end up in 2nd or 3rd and 5-6. Pitt will blitz, and if dmac can get past the first wave he will pop a big one.

Florio’s take: In each of the last two years that the Steelers defended a Super Bowl championship, they played the Raiders. And the Raiders won. This year, the Raiders are much improved, and the Steelers are sliding again due to another rash of injuries. It’s hard to imagine the Steelers losing two in a row at home. Then again, it was impossible to imagine the Steelers losing five in a row last season.
Florio’s pick: Raiders 20, Steelers 17.

Vick in atlanta is not the vick you are seeing today. He has always had the talent, he used it as a crutch. now he puts in the extra time and has truly learned the mental aspect of the game, as opposed to just being the best athlete on the field.
Also he has a much better offense around him in philly. he doesnt need to run for 100 yards a game to win like he did in philly.
Dont be fooled by the stats from atlanta.

That is beside the point, you must win ugly at times, its commonly referred to gutting it out.

Vick won a very impressive game at Lambeau, which no one had ever done before. I thought he was going to change things that day.
Then the next week, they got whipped by Philly and Vick was completely ineffective.
Its amazing to watch Vick currently just because he was out of football for two years (in prison, no less) and a backup QB last year, but its too early to annoint him based on regular season play.

Cam Newton has never attempted a collegiate pass when taking a snap under center.
Tim Tebow issues all over again
============================================================
JFB,
cam newton and tebow are nothing alike at all. tebow is not a very good passer. Newton is an nfl ready passer, not just by my own eye ball test, but according to many of the so-called experts he is the best passing prospect on a par with stratford when he left georgia.
By the way taking a snap from center is not that big of a deal. he can learn that in a year or so in a solid offense like we have, and with good coaching.
By the way if you havent noticed there are qb’s in this league that operate out of the shotgun most of the time on passing downs, brady manning and breeze come to mind.

Peter King – Raiders 23 Steelers 21
“The more I think this can’t happen, and that the Steelers have to win a game they need badly in the wake of the New England debacle, the more I think: Who’s going to block Richard Seymour and Tommy Kelly? I can’t come up with an answer — at least not an answer for 60 Pittsburgh offensive plays.”

Not sure if you non-local guys know about this site but it’s pretty good. Eric Davis and Bill Romo dissect the Raiders. Apparently Bruce vs JC exists everywhere. You listen to them and you can clearly tell who is in favor of who. It was hilarious the way they broke down DMAC laying the wood on the Chiefs safety. Enjoy.

Campbell is serviceable. If he can be a good game-manager, we can win games. He is not the Second Coming.
Your assessment after the SD game was very strange and quite laughable. That it was Dan Fouts vs. Jim Plunkett. Rivers being Fouts….
===========================================================
L.A,
Im starting to think you are just another hater.
I didnt compare campbell and rivers to plunkett and fouts.
I compared the shootout style, late game drama, to the way it was back in the day with oakland vs. san diego, with fouts vs. plunkett.
You obviously were unable to comprehend the point.

Ok, you said it was deep down the field Al Davis vertical football, but I only saw that from one team.

Hines Ward (concussion) was a full participant in Steelers practice Wednesday.
“I’m good,” he said. “I took the concussion test, passed it. … I feel fine. I don’t have the symptoms they think I should have.” One pace for just 54 catches and 667 yards this season, Ward ranks a disappointing 46th among fantasy receivers through nine games. He’ll start against Oakland, but is only a WR3 option. The catch and yardage totals would be lows for Ward since 2000. Nov. 17 – 5:57 pm et

=============================================================
Is this a joke?
You say race is an issue for me, while you look for the “white guy” on the list.
Tebow is not the future of the nfl, because of his poor passing ability. You must be able to read and throw from the pocket in this game, tebow cant do it. freeman and t smith are light years ahead of him as a passer.
Tebow is a better runner than t smith, but that is it..

“[Cam]doesnt have to play right away he spend a year or two behind Campbell, learning man hood maturity and professionalism.”
If your boy Campbell is the picture of manliness, maturity, and professionalism, why would you want Cam Newton?
You’ve got your franchise guy right here.
===========================================================
Cam is a unique talent unlike anyone else in the draft.
If he declares after this year and his stock falls, why not take him. he would be a low risk luxury, with a huge upside. lets not kid ourselves, i think jc is a really good qb, that hasnt had a team or good coaching, (outside of gibbs) or a stable organization, around him, but he is not half the player cam newton is, in terms of raw talent.
Newton will need a solid pro to show him the ropes, i think being here behind campbell and under hu jack would be good for him.
newton is like vick only bigger

How big is this game? If we win were going to the playoffs
November 18th, 2010 at 9:55 am
The PFT boys offer their thoughts on the game. Florio likes our chances:
“Raiders at Steelers
Florio’s take: In each of the last two years that the Steelers defended a Super Bowl championship, they played the Raiders. And the Raiders won. This year, the Raiders are much improved, and the Steelers are sliding again due to another rash of injuries. It’s hard to imagine the Steelers losing two in a row at home. Then again, it was impossible to imagine the Steelers losing five in a row last season.
Florio’s pick: Raiders 20, Steelers 17.
Rosenthal’s take: The Raiders and their fans can happily play the no respect card here. They’re 7.5 point underdogs on a three-game winning streak. I’d take the points, but I’ll also take the Steelers to win because their defense can minimize Oakland’s greatest strength — the running game. The Raiders have won one game on the road all year, in Denver. Win this game and they’ll get plenty of respect.
Rosenthal’s pick: Steelers 21, Raiders 17.”

I guess I would be a hater if I said that Manning, or Brady, or Rivers sucked. Because it’s simply not true. “Cryme A.” Rivers may be a baby and Peyton maybe a goofy yokel and Brady may have long flow g@y locks, but they’ve had success in the NFL and consistantcy.
The same simply cannot be said about Campbell. I’m allowed to have legitimate concerns about a decent-at-best QB leading our team. Again, I hope I continue to improve.
Now if I’m a hater because I debate the QB with you personally, well then I think you need to ease up.
My point with the Fouts/Plunkett comparison is that you are saying that Campbell is a legit downfield, vertical threat. Now I’m more inclined to agree after that KC game (which I was really, really impressed with JC to be honest), but historically he’s not.
Seemed to me like you were exaggerating mightily at the time. Now if Campbell can cut it loose and get some home runs consistently, I’ll come back and say ‘dang Mistic, you were really Nostradusing this guy’ and mean it.

I like the fact that Campbell was playing aggressive and chucking it 30+ yards. That throw on the first play of OT (our possesion) was just beautiful. And a great call by Hue.
I see improvement or more willingness to throw one up and let a WR make a play, which I hadn’t seen him do much in Oakland.

it is about trust between qb and receiver. a qb will take a chance if he believes in his guys making the play. our receiver core needs to continue to grow into that role. this is where chaz the glass fits (when healthy), he is sure handed and can catch the jump ball. ford has proven he can do it as well.

I agree, hopefully we will see the team connect on a flea flicker or other deep pass. If that relationship is forged we will be feared, God knows we have the speed, and speed kills. After watching a lot of the Raiders games (again) our wideouts definetley beat there man deep pretty consistently.

I wonder if this is one of those situations where their run defense is “artifically” good to speak because teams just know they can pass on the Steelers and so they don’t even bother running as much.
Not saying Pitt’s defense isn’t legit–it is–but is it 63-yards-per-game legit against a DMac/Bush combo?

November 18th, 2010 at 10:48 am
Manning rarely has to improvise. He reads the defense so quickly and accurately that the ball is gone before you get a hand on him. His difficulties this year are from all the injuries around him. Kevin Kolb had exactly the same production through the air when Vick was out as Vick, and that was without their best weapon in Desean Jackson. Yes, it is indisputable that Vick is the best running QB of all time, but the facts are clear that his success as a pocket passer this year is scheme and personal around him, more than it is his talent. If you disagree then you are clearly biased against white qbs because the passer numbers between Kolb and Vick are almost identical.

Black or white, the ‘mobile QB’ only has limited success at the professional level. There a lot of guys that were succesful scramblers, but without good pocket presence and good mechanics, can’t survive in the NFL.
They’re simply just good college players in a system vs. an opponent that allows for it.
There’s no way with the size and speed of the defense that the spread option QB works.
Vick’s most success in the league thus far has been as a pocket passer and looking to pass first.

It really depends on how prepared Huge Action and J-Camp are going up against this Defense. I know Big Rich and the Marshall plan will be in full effect early on, and our special teams are playing well.
It will be up to Hue and J-Camp. They gotta limit turnovers, and make conversions on 3rd downs and in the Red Zone.
Imo, If we can play with Pits, we can play with any team in this league.
J-Camp did not look good against KC at all, but he has earned the start. Now lets see how he does with it.

People think just because a guy is mobile, this automatically means he isnt a pocket passer.

We agree. Like I said, there’s very few guys that achieve success as mobile QBs in the NFL and if they do, it’s because they had good pocket presence and awareness.
Typically, the best scramblers are not good pure runners. Just good athletes that can find daylight when the play breaks down.

Having a mobile QB that runs often can work against you. It’s like having a point guard that scores often (Allen Iverson). You dont see this type of point guard having much success as a “team” in the NBA. At the end of the day, a good QB needs to get his receivers involved. Mike Vick has always been a successful scrambler but his team struggled. I believe Mike Vick learning how to be a throwing QB this year is finally paying off with that combination. I see him running only as a “last” resort now.

Raiders at Steelers
Florio’s take: In each of the last two years that the Steelers defended a Super Bowl championship, they played the Raiders. And the Raiders won. This year, the Raiders are much improved, and the Steelers are sliding again due to another rash of injuries. It’s hard to imagine the Steelers losing two in a row at home. Then again, it was impossible to imagine the Steelers losing five in a row last season.
Florio’s pick: Raiders 20, Steelers 17.

Dont back pedal, mobile does not mean run often. Mobile only implies his ability to break the pocket and improvise when the blocking breaks down. Either escaping the rush to throw 9 most preferabbly0 or run if nothing opens. david garrad is mobile, but he is a hell of a pocket passer as well.

Good for him. TOs having a great season. Why didn’t we sign him again?

Because we have DHB, Chaz & Murphy.

Garrard, Campbell, Vick, McNabb, Cam Newton and now Troy Smith.

spread offnese doesnt mean the qb is a pure runner. more media hype.
Brady rothlisberger, manning, brees are certainly not pure runners, and they are in the shot gun spread at least half of the snaps.

Michael Vick is the best QB in the NFL right now. Get over it.
_____________________________________________________
Unfortunately Vick doesn’t play for the Silver & Black…
Now as regards Jason Campbell…
If Campbell can work on his accuracy 1)across the middle, 2)on the deep throws, and 3)when he rolls to his right, he is capable of leading us into the postseason and beyond.
Basically, dude has accuracy issues. His passes across the middle consistently sail high, and he consistently under throws deep passes.
If he puts the time and work in, hopefully he can fix these issues. Otherwise, he will cost us in a big way. He’s getting away with it now because of team heroics.
But as the race to the post season gets more intense, those mistakes will kill us when it counts the most.
He’s got to get it fixed and fixed right now.
But I’m rooting for the guy though.

I said spread option in case this was in reference to what I mentioned.
Yeah, those QBs have the vision and the protection to be able to spread it out. Also, a quick decision and quick release is key.

Oakland coach Tom Cable reportedly wouldn’t go on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL” because he didn’t want to go on the show with former Raider Warren Sapp. Sapp has been very critical of Cable and the Raiders in the past. It’s Cable’s right to not want to talk someone.

Oakland running back Darren McFadden believes the Raiders aren’t be taken seriously enough after its 5-4 start. If the Raiders can beat Pittsburgh on Sunday, that perception could change. Meanwhile, the Football Outsiders have some statistical keys to the Raiders’ game at Pittsburgh.

^^^^^^^
Agreed….but I would also like to see more Wildcat and Pistol formations and Campbell roll out of the pocket more away from pressure.
Have to keep that Steeler defense off balance. Use DMC more as WR also in the slot and use double TE sets with Miller and Myers and Reece needs to be put in the slot also and used as more of an H back.
The offensive scheme and formations need to be MIXED up all game long to keep the Pitt defense off balance!
