Thec,
I don’t think there is a LT available to us instead of DHB that was better than Veldheer ended up being. I’m fine with the DHB pick and Veldheer at LT.
+++++++++++++++++
Eugene Monroe, or Michael Oher…Could have been the picks if you dont trade down in the 2009 draft.
2010 I am fine with V at either LT or C, he is a baller flat out… However this was the year we could have taken bryant…

The thing that stood out the most to me yesterday was how our front four couldnt get to big ben. only 2 sacks! if we would have had constant pressure on him all game it would have been a way closer game. We have a way better D then New England and they got to the guy and in his head. I was worried going into the game about Bens passer rating outside the pocket but we couldnt even flush him out.

True statement.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Nnamdi is was greatly missed yesterday due to the simple fact that he takes away one side of the field for the opposing QB to work with. Our D got worked over by Pitts 4-5 WR sets yesterday. I dont think Marshall planned to see those formations used so much by a power running team. Pitts not really known for stretching the field. Too many yards after first contact too. Mendenhalls running lanes werent there all day but our LB’s werent in position to clean up.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:22 pm
All Raiders should be of this mindset. This is old time Raider football. Make sure the opponent understands that trash talk is not always acceptable.

Reverse conspiracy theory:
The NFL WANTS the Raiders to be good. They realize that a competitive and relevant Raider team is GOOD for the league. They finally figured it out. The NFL NEEDS the Raiders.
I personally am shocked he only got a 25k fine, and NO SUSPENSION? Mr. Goodell.. hello….this IS the Raiders we’re talking about here. I don’t know, it’s just a theory, but weird how all those calls went our way yesterday and now Seymour only gets 25k for an intentional hit on the head of one of the leagues “elite” QB’s and NO suspension? I’m releived but shocked.

++++++++++++++++++
The only game I really watched McClain in college was against Florida because I knew the Raiders might take him. I was not overly impressed….he was in on a lot of tackles, but he was rarely the first guy there. I thought he must be injured or something.
Then the night before the draft Charlie Casserly commented on McClain and said he doesn’t make as many plays as a big time MLB should and he doesn’t shed blocks well.
Maybe he is what Charlie thought he was?

Those Steeler fans were amped up for that game yesterday. Lots of respectful talk about the old days…pre-game questions in our section about who’s who on the RAiders….lots of nostalgia.
The league wants the Raiders to be relevant…takes every game up a level….
even with the Seymour slug…it was the Raider mystique all over again…unfortunately…the offense played like a bunch of bunk b’s
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:35 pm
The Raider defense shut down the run for the most part.
The Defense is legit in my eyes. The fact that the Steelers went with 4 receivers is a sign of respect for the front 7. They knew they had to throw to really win the game…..with Nnamdi and more safety blitzes and different looks…it would have been a different game.
Unfortunately the offense did its best to give the game to Pittsburgh…Which they did in stunning fashion
That offense is not ready for prime time

You can’t win without blitzing in the NFL.
The four man rush doesn’t cut it anymore.
You also have to run misdirection on offense.
The one game that we did both of these things, we won 59-14.

Big surprise #21 ball lickers are out in full force after a loss.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:39 pm
It is what it is SnB.
8 man fronts and a double on Ford was all it took to shut our offense down.
Hope DHB and Chaz are back this week!
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Dez Bryant was not an option. You draft DHB the prior year, that is your guy. He has to develop.
The Raiders needed McClain and HE HAS made a difference. The defense is not the problem it was earlier in the year.
KC, Denver, SEattle and Pittsburgh couldn’t run on this team….
Tell the offense to stop going 3 and out and turning the ball over on fumbles
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:41 pm
If Marshall plays I hope Nnamdi does too….if not, I wouldn’t mind keeping Nnamdi out again so he can be at full strength for the Diego game where we know the ball is gonna be in the air an infinite number of times

4-man rush kept Pittsburgh in check. Just gave up a couple of big plays on 2nd and 3rd and forever on two drives.
The score could have been easily 7-3 at halftime…a couple of breakdowns on 3rd down and Louis Murphy prevented that

I agree. With Aso back and at the ability to run the ball, we are a playoff team.
6 game season.
3-3 will likely not get it done unless maybe those three are all against AFC West.
4-2 should do it. Can it be done?
They’re all big now. No margin of error. That AZ game is really stinging right now. Forget SF and Houston. We got beat, that’s just that.
That was a chip shot FG after a solid drive to get us down there.
But it’s over and done.
We’re 0-0, got the AFC West, Miami, Indy, and Jax coming up.
Two can run all day, three can pass all day and Jax seems pretty balanced with Gerrard coming on as of late.
This is what we wanted.
Control our own destiny.
Yeah the Steeler win would have been huge, but just like the 49er game, it may serve as a spring board.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Also, the Raiders HAD to address that pathetic run defense of the past. McClain and Houston, with Henderson signing did that.
Notice how the team is mostly competitive now.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:45 pm
The real problem is Chaz sittin in the tub and a late ackowledgement by the coach and GM of that situation.
Also, two QBs that are not being difference makers.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:46 pm
SnB, teams have been throwing on #21 going back to last Thanksgiving against Dallas up until he injured his ballerina foot.
Question:
If we are so good with #21 shutting down 1 side of the field how is our record what it is the last 7 years?
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:48 pm
we should have gone big nasties on both sides of the line going all the way back to the day we drafted huff. fuc a wideout in the 1st round.

It’s like the WWF (or WWE) wrestling league. The league NEEDS the “bad guys” to create storyline and interest. TV wrestling would be NOTHING without the bad guys. All movies have the “bad guy” to create a compelling story, and they need a STRONG bad guy. A lame, nerdy, loser bad guy won’t do. Where’s the challenge and the satisfaction when “good” ultimately prevails in the end?
The Raiders, to be an effective and compelling “bad guy” MUST be a challenge, therfore they must not only be “bad” they must be very “good” too.
Hey, if the league wnats to help make that happen it’s fine with me.
Outside of the “bad guy” Raiders, which team is really hated in the league? Alot of people hate the Cowboys, but they are “America’s Team” for crying out loud. No, the Raiders fit the role perfectly, but they NEED TO BE GOOD…and “bad”.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:49 pm
Mista,
This season the team has been mostly good. Took a few weeks for the defense to iron some things out.
Fact is that Nnamdi is one of the least thrown to DBs in the NFL. Ben’s 1st question in the pre-game press was if Nnamdi is playing.
The guy is a difference maker.
As for the last 7 years….its the offense doing its level best to imitate the past…not the defense

Agreed! Once Veldheer took over at LT things changed up for the better….the D-Line was totally remade from two years ago.
Now the team competes…just have too much baggage on the right side of the line…otherwise the Raiders could just play smashmouth with DMAC and Bush and forget the QBs and WRs
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:51 pm
#21 can only do so much by himself. c.j. and routt both get burned all the time and huff is never anywhere near the ball to make a play. bottom line is we got fucd by a better team, just wish it was a little closer.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:52 pm
How you clowns slobber on yourselves over Chaz, Seabass, L Muprhy, and #21 is beyond me.
Why should AL bother upgrading the roster when you clowns embrace mediocrity? This team used to have great players that deserved accolades now its a much different story.

Without Darren McFadden, there aint much offense there, quite frankly. The Steelers put the game in the hands of Campbell.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:55 pm
Mista,
Chaz and Murphy were late round picks….no big deal either way….Nnamdi is a player…Seabass, well
Bottom line is DHB has to man up and be a #1 receiver……if he were to play his role no one would care about Chaz and Murphy. They would be quiet #2s….
The defense is better with Nnamdi. My opinion.
Seabass could have been replaced without missing a beat

campbell can only do so much, if you expect him to win the game for you time and time again, its not gonna happen. we played a better team sunday and lost. miami is a good game to get back in the heat of things. #21 shuts down one side and every now and then gives up a pass is o.k. by me. cause most teams arent going his way, period

Wonder if Al has already reached into his safe, and handed Herrera an envelope to give to Seymour…
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Nnamdi is a huge asset to this defense. The only way he should be traded is if it brings a #1 receiver or legit starting QB (the latter being highly unlikely) and a 1st or 2nd round draft pick.
Nnamdi shuts down one side of the field, so in return the Raiders would need to get someone who could have more of an impact than that to make it worthwhile.
November 22nd, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Funny how you never hear guys like Hines Ward getting injured in practice and not playing the next game. But DHB?…NOOOOOOO. It’s gotten to the point you almost expect to hear some story about why the guy isn’t playing, and it’s never breaking news either; it’s like “oh well DHB or whomever, are out this week.”
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:00 pm
I wish we would use DHB more like how Pittsburgh uses Wallace.
That short crossing route finding him in space, and then allowing Wallace’s speed and agility to get big YAC.
They also get him going downfield a lot like we do with DHB, but with the aim of actually throwing him the ball.

He does keep guys covered very well and discourages QB’s (except Rivers)from throwing on him, but…you can’t argue with the fact that he rarely if ever makes “plays”, but some would argue (and do all the time) that there are no plyas to make cuz nobody throws at him.

November 22nd, 2010 at 4:07 pm
A lot of people are down on McClain but I think that he will be an All Pro in a couple of years. I think that he has a ways to go but I noticed that last year Morrison made a lot of plays becuase the Offense doubled the DT’s a lot and this year you don’t see that as much. Seymour and Kelly are being singled up and having outstanding seasons. Also I like that McClain gets everybody lined up where they are supposed to be.
Don’t underestimate what a big deal that is. Remember how many new people we have on D. Plus one of our best players (Seymour) is adjusting to a new role in a defensive scheme he hasn’t had a lot of experience with since he was a Bulldog. (And yes I know the Pat’s flexed to a 4-3). Alignment was something that Kirk struggled with.
Last year Kirk made a lot of plays 5 yards down field. And everybody would walk back to the huddle with their hands up in the air trying to figure out who messed up. I don’t see a lot of that this year. I would have loved to see Kirk stay and move over to his natural position at WLB. He’s a total Raider, I liked him at the Will better than Scott or Groves but that’s in the past.
I’d like to see McClain have more freedom to dial up plays on a presnap read. Give him the green light to change things when he sees certain formations. He has the football IQ. I think that we are just scratching the surface of his talent and potential.

So the wide development falls on sanjay…
a lot of guys have been calling for his head…
Is this fair?
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:08 pm
SnB…
Yeah there are a number of facets on offense that are holding the team back.
Quality of QB.
OL pass-blocking.
Inconsistency of youthful WRs.
Lack of veteran WR like a Reggie Wayne or Derrick Mason.
Play-calling from time to time.
Perhaps also elements of the playbook itself. Design of some core plays we run.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:09 pm
SnB, teams have been throwing on #21 going back to last Thanksgiving against Dallas up until he injured his ballerina foot.
Question:
If we are so good with #21 shutting down 1 side of the field how is our record what it is the last 7 years?
——————-
Should I follow your opinion or the constant respect Nnamdi receives from his peers, coaches, critics, etc.? I’ll go with the guys who say he is equal to or better than Darrelle Revis.

Best receivers on the Raiders…
1.Zach Miller
2. Jacoby Ford
3. Khalif Barnes
4. Lou Murphy
5.DHB
6. JLH
7. Glass Schillens
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:09 pm
#21 happens to be our best open field tackler from that whole entire d-backs, overpayed maybe but not overrated, but imo worth every penny on our team.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:10 pm
Sorry guys, gotta go, been very busy of late. Will check back in late tonight.

Jhill, if you are saying Chaz is the best WR on this team please dont ever respond to me ever again.
——————————————————
Not a problem.
Chaz is BY FAR the best WR on this team. DHB is #2. Chaz will start as soon as he is healthy along with DHB. Even if it is for 4 games a year.
If you are confusing best WR on this team with actually being GOOD WRs, then carry on.

I’m a little disappointed in RoMac so far. He’s certainly no Ray Lewis, Patrick Willis or any other above average MLB.
How long do we wait to see if he’s what we thought he was?
============================================
More than 9 games that’s for sure.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:15 pm
McClain is being asked to cover tight ends, has anyone noticed how slow he looks chasing those boys? and yes they do need to fire sanjay lala.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:15 pm
but some would argue (and do all the time) that there are no plyas to make cuz nobody throws at him.

And there it is.
How can anyone even try and argue against “just doesn’t throw his way”?

November 22nd, 2010 at 4:17 pm
I would move JLH above DHB and remove Chaz off the list entirely.

Want to see the injury report, see who else got dinged in yesterdays game…
Scott is out, can we get ellis back in the fold?
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Wallace lined up on Nnamdi’s side has a career day against the back up, but no big deal.
Jeremy Ware in on Nnamdi’s side gets beat for a TD, no biggie.
Nnamdi in the game, Ben’s not even looking that way. Not that hard mayne.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:19 pm
As much as hate to say it, we need a little help from the donks tonight..
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:20 pm
we resign charles schallens he comes in and gives us four games that would be cream….Dont wnat to rush us signing him, as we could look at other wides…
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:20 pm
money well spent
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:21 pm
Everyone in the NFL will give Seymour props and respect and laying out rapistberger
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:22 pm
SD needs to lose at least 2 more games. I hope one of them will be tonite but dont know if the Donks can pull it off.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:22 pm
Ben is a great actor… Like Art Flores says, he did the fonzberry flop….

sanjay has been with the team for 4 years as a w.r. coach and in 4 years has yet to develope anybody as a legit starting w.r. they should have thrown his asss off the plane on the way home.

I think Al Davis just picked up the tab for #92. Big Ben was on the ground curling like a little Ben.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Losing Scott hurts but it will give #77 more playing time. I think 77 will have a big impact too.

at what point do you blame the coach when they all say how hard the wideouts are working and yet we dont see results. at some point in time you have to sit down and say whatever it is your teaching is working out see ya, and in this case 30000 feet in the sky.

77 has already made a big impact.
Keep an eye on Goethel replacing Groves and Groves sliding into Scott’s rotational position.
Seems like the coaches, or Al, want this kid on the field.
November 22nd, 2010 at 4:35 pm
I just want some consistancy from one of our WR’s.
If it just a consistant 5 catches for 60 yards I would take it.
DHB was a career game, than 0 catches than a bye week injury.
Ford breaks out, than drops passes and looks lost.
Murphy will be the best player on the field for awhile, than the worst player on the field.
Straight ridiculous at times!!

November 22nd, 2010 at 4:44 pm
I’m beginning to believe that McClain is out to lunch. Either he doesn’t have the smarts it takes to call plays for the defensive schemes, and he’s just not capable to play up. Is this another #1 bust to add to the Raider list? I realize he is just a rook but Houston is definitely showing a lot more promise than McClain. Fans can’t stop all the talk about McClain being able to replace Captain Kirk, he’s not even close, and I would add he’s overwhelmed playing MLB. Needless to remind us that it was a big mistake letting Morrison go. I don’t if you happened to see Kirk play yesterday, still making stops and big plays. How many has McClain made this season. How many times has he been chumped? Maybe he was playing hurt, if so sit him down, not that his back up is any good, but McClain is nowhere near what he was expected to do.
Seymour can only hope to bounce back. He let all his press about how he was defensive MVP get to his head. Yeah Ben got baitch-slapped, but Seymour was just plain dumb and lost his poise. If he’s supposed to be the leader of this team he’d better show up next game and prove something else, because he definitely didn’t show up yesterday. Remember playing stupid can easily spread throughout this team, aren’t the Raiders still the reigning stupidest team in the league, until further notice, I guess.
Now that I think about it, the whole team got their heads full of the “new Raiders jack,” and laid the same old rotten egg we’re used to. Not that I was expecting them to beat Pittsburgh but I was expecting to at least show up and not embarrass themselves.
Fans can only hope they’ll man up against the phins, but I’m having deep doubts the Raiders can go anywhere with this WR core, just not enough talent there. It’s interesting to see how the squeeler receivers were catching everything, and the Raider receivers couldn’t catch anything.
Cable and HueJack need to adjust to this reality and call more screens and short passes to free up McFadden on the outside, get the TE more touches. I can’t believe Zack Miller wasn’t more involved in the offense yesterday, how many touches did he get? Was he that hurt that he couldn’t catch anything?
November 22nd, 2010 at 5:33 pm
I won’t go as far as to say McClain is a bust but I do see that he has not been that bruising, hit the running back at the line, linebacker. I do think the recievers are ok, its just Campbell is horrible. Until we get Bruce in full time, are chance of winning 8 is not good. Yes Bruce threw that bad pass to Troy but before that he went 6 for 6. At least there was some kind of production. Campbells game against good competition is 3 and out. He is excellent at that game and should win an award at the end of the season.
November 22nd, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Romac needs some private tutoring from Seymour. #92 will get his head and attitude straight.
November 22nd, 2010 at 7:58 pm
I thought McClain got all his tutoring in the SEC.
McClain would be better off going across the bay and look to getting straight from somebody like Patrick Willis, speaking of SEC. Willis led the league in tackles in his rookie year.
In his first 10 games McClain hasn’t shown he is either tough or smart enough, it’ll take more than tutoring. He is not even leading the Raiders in tackles.
