Cable hopeful of having all hands on deck

By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, December 10th, 2010 at 11:45 am in Oakland Raiders.

There’s a chance coach Tom Cable could have a full complment of players from which to choose when the Raiders play in Jacksonville Sunday.

The only players who didn’t practice were middle linebacker Rolando McClain (foot) and wide receiver Nick Miller (ankle) and both could be available, although Miller has been inactive the past two games anyway.

Asked if all injured payers could be available, Cable said, “There’s a good chance. (We) just have some questions that will be answered Sunday morning.”

Players who were limited at practice were WR Chaz Schilens (foot, knee), CB Nnamdi Asomugha (ankle), SS Tyvon Branch (shoulder), CB Chris Johnson, DT John Hendeson (foot) and FS Hiram Eugene (ribs). All were listed as questionable.

Branch and Asomugha have been hobbled for two weeks now, and there’s no reason to think they’re any worse now than last week when they played against San Diego. With Johnson’s return, Cable said the team will determine how to deploy nickel and dime defensive packages when they determine the health of players Sunday.

“You’ve still got (Johnson) and Branch and Nnamdi kind of gimping around,” Cable said.

The good news is that tight end Zach Miller was listed as having participated fully and is probable. Miller has just eight receptions and one touchdown since Oct. 24, and his re-emergence in the passing game would be big in what figures to be a deliberate, conservative battle for first downs against teams with similar philosophies.

Here’s how Cable described the Jacksonville offense, which as noted in an earlier post has just nine three-and-out sequences all season.

“Very, very, very methodical. They don’t take a lot of chances,” Cable said. “You’re going to see them be similar to us in that it’s run and it’s run and it’s run and it’s play action and dump this and screen this, very methodical.”

More to come later . . .

    The Raiders can win if Campbell completes at least 40% of the 60 passes he throws.

    RUN IT! – John Henderson

  13. LA to TheBay Says:

    Will you have another meltdown if the Raiders win and play run-first?

  14. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Groves wasn’t nearly as poignant as Henderson, but he said he also looked forward to the game.

    “I think all three of us are,” Groves said. “It’s good to go back home and go see your old friends, fellow foes.”

    Groves did say he has been on the receiving end of Twitter barbs from some of his former Jaguars teammates. One of the Raiders’ most popular tweeters, Groves has declined to respond.

    “I’m actually holding it in because there’s been a lot of stones thrown this way via Twitter, via e-mail, text messaging,” Groves said. “One thing about me, man, you can throw all you want to. But when I throw a boulder back at you, don’t get mad at me.”

  15. Dirtiest Raccoon Says:

    The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (commonly referred to as RICO Act or RICO) is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. RICO was enacted by section 901(a) of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 (Pub.L. 91-452, 84 Stat. 922, enacted October 15, 1970). RICO is codified as Chapter 96 of Title 18 of the United States Code, 18 U.S.C. § 1961–1968. While its intended use was to prosecute the Mafia as well as others who were actively engaged in organized crime, its application has been more widespread.

    It has been speculated that the name and acronym were selected in a sly reference to the movie Little Caesar, which featured a notorious gangster named Rico. The original drafter of the bill, G. Robert Blakey, refused to confirm or deny this.[1] G. Robert Blakey remains an expert on RICO;[2] his former student Michael Goldsmith also gained a reputation as one of the nation’s leading RICO experts.[3]

    Jason Campbell will be 15/27 with 310 yards passing and 2 TD’s.

    David Garrard 13/22 with 163 yards passing, an interception and a rushing TD

    McBush 150 yards on 30 carries

    MJD 47 yards on 19 carries

    W – 23 for 133 1 TD
    L – 21 for 113

    Pretty clear to see that the Jaguars generally win games when MJD lights it up.

    John Harbaugh forced to clarify remark to radio caller
    Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 10, 2010, 2:39 PM EST
    This is a golden age to be an angry football fan.

    Instead of just booing at games, you can direct your anger towards your team on message boards, blogs, Twitter, and call-in radio shows. (We want all your hatred right here.) One of those fans called in to Ravens coach John Harbaugh’s show in Baltimore the other night and pushed some buttons.

    Here’s what “Jim” had to say after criticizing rookie defensive tackle Terrence Cody: “Can you tell me why [defensive line coach] Clarence Brooks still has his job?” he demanded, via the Baltimore Sun. “If in five months, Terrence couldn’t be taught these basics of defensive play?”

    Harbaugh initially tried to move on, but then re-visited the topic a minute later.

    “I’m proud of this football team,” Harbaugh said. “I’m proud of our defense. I’m proud of our offense. We will fight our tails off to be the best team we can be every single week. If that’s not enough for you, find another team to cheer for. If you’re not proud of this team, then you don’t know football.”

    The question was out of line, and we don’t think Harbaugh’s response was a big deal. Apparently a lot of Ravens fans disagreed, to the point where Harbaugh was forced to release a statement on the matter.

    “I was directing my answer to the caller who suggested that one of the NFL’s best assistant coaches — and that’s not just our opinion — should be fired,” said in the statement via Kevin Cowherd of the Baltimore Sun. “I fully understand that fans will not agree with everything we do. And they have every right to voice their opinion. My comment was directed at the one caller, and not all fans.”

    In this case, we’d say Harbaugh’s response was appropriate. Since when did jackasses deserve to be treated with such sensitivity?

    It feels like we’ve won all the real must win games (Rams, Denver, KC, SD) and now we have 4 must win games in a row. Jacksonville seems like it has the makings of Raiders Chiefs all over again except it’s at their house and the Chiefs seemed to be pushing us around until the fourth quarter. Scary, but it’s exciting to have our boys in it.

    I have a hunch Fat Albert will be playing for the Raiders next year to prove a point for both Al Davis and Fat Albert. I’d rather have a motivated and “looking for redemption” Fat Albert than Cody. The players know something good is brewing in Oakland and they will jump on board.

    I don’t think Jags will have their starting WLB available for the game and we all know Kirk bites virtually every time on PA.

    Big game for the O Line. Gotta get a hat on those big DTs of theirs.

    I think if we can get McBush to the second level, we can sustain drives and keep MJD and Gerrard off the field.

    Well, Gruden didn’t. Who else showed Al how to win in the last 20 years? I think he got rid of Shell after a winning season, but one that we didn’t make the playoffs. I know that Flores was let go after a losing season. Madden retired.

  40. inonewordraider Says:

    A part if me wants KC to win on Sunday. Just to see the Chargers knocked out of it.

    Actually SD losing and the Chiefs losing the following two would probably be the best because SD has an easy go after KC so we’d still probably have to win out if this happens

    CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — Denver Broncos rookie cornerback Perrish Cox has been arrested for investigation of felony sexual assault, police said Friday.

    Michelle Kivela, the public information officer for the city of Lone Tree, Colo., said Cox was arrested Thursday night following an investigation into an Oct. 28 incident and was transported to a nearby county jail.

    Cox appeared Friday in Douglas County Court in nearby Castle Rock wearing a gray prison uniform. His feet were shackled and he was escorted by an armed sheriff’s deputy.

    A judge declined a defense attorney’s request to reduce a $50,000 bond but did say that Cox can leave the state two times — apparently to play in Broncos away games. Cox waived extradition, meaning he agreed not to fight transport back to Colorado if for some reason he were arrested out of state.

    The case filing was sealed at the request of the district attorney’s office. Cox’s next court hearing was set for Jan. 7.

    Broncos media relations director Patrick Smyth said the team is “currently in the process of gathering information and reviewing the facts.”

    Cox has played in 11 games this season after being taken in the fifth round out of Oklahoma State.

    Douglas County Court spokeswoman Casimir Spencer, prosecutor John Topolnicki and defense attorney Vince Buckmelter all declined to comment on the case.

    Castle Rock is about 30 miles south of Denver.

    The Raiders are 6-0 when they outscore their opponent, 0-6 when they dont.

  88. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Who would make the best closer from the Raiders org?

    I’m thinking Bruce is an insurance sales manager waiting to happen. Kamerion Wimbley is well-spoken and has a presence to him, so he is up there. Tom Cable probably wouldn’t do so well with the intelligent demographic, but I can see him slamming some Toyota’s down someone’s throat.

    Worst salesperson?? Nnamdi, way too nice and honest. Would overtalk every deal, and talk his way out of a sale. Mario Henderson has no confidence, so he would do awfully. And probably Bob Gallery, somehow the tats, and American terroist beard and hair just doesn’t scream competance.

    A Great Dane? Bo’s Great Dane will be a union worker like this one:

    No, but it is an insult to Great Dane’s.

    I had a Cambodian guy I worked with in Vegas who was from Stockton, and he (no BS) named his dog breakfast.

    He just thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Cambodian humor, lol.

  91. Dakota Says:

    breakfast! LMAO!

    If Campbell can complete 40% of the 60 or so passes he throws, we have a chance.

  112. Just Fire Baby Says:

    60 pass attempts???

    I’m not sure if we will even have 60 total plays in the game.

    This game will be the first game that ends in the morning slate, that clock will be moving with all the rushing, and safe pass attempts.

  113. The Real MaddenRaider Says:

    60 is kind of ridiculous, you’re right. It will probably be 70.

    think larger my friend! DHB = best in the league.

    earning that Top 10 pick paycheck blocking and drawing attention away from McFadden, Bush, Ford & Zmiller 8)

    no way we’re 6-6 without DHBeast

  121. LA to TheBay Says:

    Wonder if the early practices pay off.

  122. LA to TheBay Says:

    The Raiders have had some success in recent years on trips back East, beating the Steelers 27-24 last year and ending the 2008 season with a 31-24 win at Tampa Bay.

    But since the start of the 2003 season, Oakland is just 5-17 in day games in the Eastern time zone.

  123. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Rookie Jacoby Ford, talking with reporters about being prepared regardless of his role, let it slip that he’d be the starter Sunday in place of the injured Louis Murphy.

    “I’m always preparing like I am going to be the starter, that’s what coach Darrius tells us,” Ford said. “It just so happens that I actually will be the starter this game, so it’s no different for me, preparing-wise. I’ve just got to go out there and make some plays when my number is called.”

    ***

    oh snap!

    LA,

    DHB is also Jacoby Ford’s mentor …

    Always fun to re-live the high water mark years/months/weekend.

    God dammit, I came here to bait you guys and you softened me up by bringing up my Fast Break Girl, RRS. Now I’m motivated to get out of the house and do something. Thanks for reminding me I once had a life. See you guys later.

    Jax converts on 42% OF 3rd downs
    Rai converts on 34% of 3rd downs

    The Raiders have to be efficient on 3rd downs, and efficient in the Red Zone, every week.

  129. Silver-and-black666 Says:

    3rd down efficiency comes with the ability to have a balanced attack on offense and keep the 3rd down distance short.

  130. Silver-and-black666 Says:

    If you can keep the defense guessing by mixing it up you can get large gains on 1st and 2nd down

    Maybe me and my friends like brian, and Gorilla Rilla,..and countless others are out of the loop,..maybe we are missing something,..but at the KC game,..a very exciting day filled with pre and post game tailgating,..not one fan mentioned the Raiders owner…however Im confident, without checking archives, that Al Davis was mentioned more then once, during the game, by the losers that have no life outside this blog,…and you know who you are,…hope things get better for you someday.

    I saw some people write that they hoped that KC beats SD. Those guys must not realize that we need KC to lose in order for us to be able to get into the playoffs. After this game against SD they have two easyish games before playing us. We need to win out and have the Chiefs loose two so that we are TIED in record but we’d still win the tie breaker.

    So, though I never would “want” San Diego to win any game, it’s better for us if they do this weekend.

    Jacksonville last week ran and ran and ran and ran Maurice for 180 yards. Oakland last week at San Diego ran and ran and ran Bush and DMC for 200+ yards; the week against Pittsburgh before DMC ran for 20 yards?

    I like Oakland’s advantage of two running backs, but why was our running stopped by Pittsburgh?

    One thing I noticed about the Pittsburgh game was that in that game, DMC ran to the left side on every run, whereas in the San Diego he ran mainly up the middle. Is that why our running attack was so lousy at Pittsburgh, or was it that Pittsburgh has such a good running defense?

    In Jacksonville, something has to give–Both teams cann’t dominate and control the game by their running attacks.
