Cable refutes Yahoo report
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, December 13th, 2010 at 2:33 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders coach Tom Cable said at his weekly press briefing he and Hue Jackson enjoyed a laugh over the Yahoo! Sports report which said the two had a strained relationship.
Cable said he had no problems with Jackson’s play-calling Sunday, including the sequence when Kyle Boller was in at quarterback and the Raiders wound up turning the ball over on an interception.
More to come . . .

Jason Cole is a joke …
December 13th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
yeah right tom
December 13th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Yeah, the only rift between the two might be Jackson taking Cable’s job.
Oaklands offense hasn’t put up points and moved the ball like this season for YEARS.
Not that everythings fine, but just sayin’…

Fred Flinstone better go 8-8 or thats yur A$$…

Didn’t Tom say the same thing about Randy Hanson?
December 13th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Is JHill saying that throwing the ball to DHB in the end zone with 11 seconds left and no timeouts was
NOT
the right thing to do?
Trying to figure him out.

Lol, Tom got slapped down by Al.
Al: “Tim Cable, you better stop throwing everyone under the bus, it isn’t going to help you keep this job. You better go out there tomorrow and make this right, or I will for cause your ass and you will never see another paycheck. Understand?
Cable: “Yes Mr. Davis. Sorry. For a second there I lost my temper. I do that sometimes you know.”
December 13th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
JHILLLLLLL,
I’m calling you out right now……..You effin pisses me off. You have a problem with not admitting when you are wrong.
here is the game film jerkoff. 11 seconds left and not 6 secs as you stated. You are flat out wrong and you know it. Go to the 3:21 sec on that video.

Hey me too.
December 13th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Jason Campbell is what we thought he would be:
1) better than Russell, because he
2) usually plays it safe, but
3) makes some bad decisions, and
4) can’t be relied upon to win you games, and only
5) looks okay when the run game is going.
The problem is that there are few QBs available next year in free agency that would be much of an upgrade, so what we need to do is:
1) Get a blocking FB and commit to becoming a run orientated team….run, run, run and pass only when you need to;
2) concentrate on improving the o-line, specifically the RT, RG and C positions;
3) Continue to build the defense by adding better LBers and safeties that know how to take correct angle of pursuit;
4) wait to add a new QB unless someone drops into the second round that we can’t pass up (Locker?).
oh and fire the Wife Beating Buffoon.
December 13th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
If Cable didn’t have a problem with those play calls, when Boller was in, then he should definitely be fire.
December 13th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Cable has lost his momentum from the middle of the season.
Raiders will lose two of the next three because they are simply not better than the Colts and Chiefs at home with playoffs on the line will probably result in a loss.
Cable will likely be gone.
December 13th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
What? Cable, and Hue didn’t hold hands and sing ‘Kumbya’ at the presser?
December 13th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
I think the Raiders learned an expensive lesson yesterday – that the 5 safety/no corner defense is crap!
and that even though DMAC brought us back from devastating Boller & Ford turnovers, this defense still caves at the first sight of adversity.
Marshall is older than dirt, but we would have won that game against SD last year if it weren’t for his prevent defense that we thought got flushed along with Rob Ryan, too. This guy has some hairbrained ideas imo
we got torched against SF through the air with that zone defense using a bunch of DB’s only schooled in man2man coverage.
Beleive it or not we may just be better off using the old fashioned Al Davis defensive philosophy. Seems like every time to stray away from it, we get burned!
Al Davis for DC!
December 13th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Dakota
as long as Davis realizes what you realize, and keeps his eyes out for a future NFL signal-caller, then I’m all for that plan.

Jano kowski is lame….When we need him to do something simple like kick a touchback he fails….
December 13th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
Raiders are having their best season in 8 years and the media just has to stir the poo.
Raiders win out and take the AFC West.
If they finish 1 game shy, I will blame Janikowski’s miss in Arizona before anything else.
December 13th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Sigh.
RR, that Al Davis philosophy of man to man is the sole reason we’re in the bottom ten in run defense every single year this decade except for 2002 (offense gave us leads, other team = pass).
Remember what Drew Brees did to us in pre-season last year? That was fun to watch.
Ben had similar success this year.
Our defense must be one of the easiest to game plan against.

Too bad that isn’t true. The Raiders would have to win out and KC would have to lose two of three and SD would have to lose at least once.
December 13th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Raider75, while technically correct, the only reason we stayed relevant this long this year is because our division sucks.
Most years, when you’re 5-6 after 11 games, you’re done.
We’re still very likely to finish 6-10 or 7-9 with the easiest schedule we’ve seen here in a long time.
Media isn’t that impressed, and our coaching situation is a little more newsworthy than “Hey! We’re going to improve by one game over last season!”
December 13th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Darren Mcfadden had the best game of his career in my opinion.
He was unstoppable.
On a separate note, did anyone hear Cable say that the reason the Raiders used that 5 safety package was because Nnamdi was having issues with his ankle on that play?
Well if that’s the case, why was Routt also on the sidelines? What about Chris Johnson?
That sounded like a pile of crock to me. To not have ONE cover corner on the field on that play was an abomination!
Terrible formations, no pressure on the QB…Marshall and Co. stunk it up in the second half.

I can’t wait for you to spin that schytt. 11 secs left and homie threw 16 yds up for grabs and it wasnt even to the sideline. Ford was no where near the sideline for a tap. You either throw out of bounds or into the endzone.
BTW, the PI to DHB worked in AZ didnt it? Why dont you just man up and admit you were wrong. But knowing you, you’re gonna keep on spinning this schytt rather than manning up to it.

The raider play calling is def shaky at best, but u cant blame JC and Hue for the loss yesterday.
The didnt cause Ford to Fumble, and cause the def to have a breakdown.
But who ever came up with that all safties look on def needs to be fired. Nnamdi is one the best tackling safties in the NFL, and u take him out??? Even if that was al’s call, he should fire himself

You mean DMAC had runs of 50 and 34 on his own was the result of JC? You mean DMAC took a JC dumpoff for 67 yds was based on JC’s passing skills?

Steelers = 3-4

Miami = 3-4
SF = 3-4
Bears = Tampa Two zone
Vikings = Tampa Two (Leslie Frazier)
Giants are doing it with a 4-3 but they have a no-nonsense head coach and are a stickler to details.
We seem to be behind the learning curve here with our 4-3 straight man defense.
I’m glad Marshall is trying to incorporate more zone and we have to actually practice that if there’s any hope of becoming a top run defense.

Our passing game took off when we benched Campbell.
The Raiders started putting up 400 yards of total offense for the first time in 7 years after we benched JC.
We threw for 250 yards or more for a couple of games in a row after the benching.
We had guys like Zach Miller and Louis Murphy lead the team in receiving yards back then (not just our RB).
Benching JC did NOT set back our passing game. It jump started it.

im not saying he will just some how be great but after Kiffin, Art, Norv…ect i actually see the players play real ball. i see them play 60 min not 30. i see the way they carry themselves over yrs past and i like what i see. we are really just a good consistant QB away from killing it. Our HC is not our problem in my eyes but i see a vast mental improvment over the last 8.

Thank you Hue Jackson, for creating an offense that has already scored 118 more points that it did all of last year. Thank you for taking over the offense and brushing aside Cable’s boy toy Justin Fargas and finally giving McFadden more than 7 carries a game. Thank you for helping us win more games than we did all of last year, despite the ignorant HC you have to deal with. Thank you for upsetting Cable and hopefully sending him packing.
Thank you very much.

RaidingTexas,
we’re not debating that the defense and special teams didn’t cost us the game.
However, that last pass simply confirms what many of us debate here weekly: That Jason Campbell doesn’t have what it takes to be a consistent winner in the league. He doesn’t have “it”. No killer instinct.
He proved it in Washington and is proving it here.
He’s turning 30 next season and isn’t our long-term answer if we want to be a team that can beat the top teams out there.

i disagree that cable be fired. it will only set us back. give him one or two more yrs. if next yr is a joke then fire hime but if we are better than this yr then we make the playoffs and keep him.
++++++++++
That would be true to your name! Why do people think Cable will suddenly somehow become a good HC?
=============
im not saying he will just some how be great but after Kiffin, Art, Norv…ect i actually see the players play real ball. i see them play 60 min not 30. i see the way they carry themselves over yrs past and i like what i see. we are really just a good consistant QB away from killing it. Our HC is not our problem in my eyes but i see a vast mental improvment over the last 8.
===============
You can’t be serious!
The players play 60 minutes?
You have short term memory loss? Long term? Selective memory?
Have you actually followed this team since Cable “took over”, which I use loosely?
The list is loooong on what Cable does wrong.
The list on what he does right is pretty much non-existent.
But hey. You like him, so, there you go.
December 13th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
One improvment i see mostly is they keep after it when sh!t hits the fan. yrs past they would have given up after the ford fumble and tucked their tails but no, they put up two more TDs after falling behind to tie it. two yrs ago this would have been 38 17. not another pt after that play.
December 13th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
Dakota, Jackson as head coach.
What changes do you think he’ll incorporate?
Talk Davis into updating his ancient D philosophy?
Also wonder if Davis wants to bring in his boy Josh McDaniels for a courtesy brain-picking interview this off-season. Davis loved that kid when he was in New England.

JHILLLLLLL,
I’m calling you out right now……..You effin pisses me off. You have a problem with not admitting when you are wrong.
here is the game film jerkoff. 11 seconds left and not 6 secs as you stated. You are flat out wrong and you know it.
——————————————————
I said he CAUGHT THE BALL WITH 6 SECONDS LEFT.
LMFAO!
You want to zero in on the time left on the clock?
What about your claim that there were 2 WRs streaking into the end zone?
Why are you pz’d off, lol?
I can’t open the link you posted but I have the game on DVR ready to discuss whatever you see on tape.
YOU are wrong and making shhhhh up!
So you to YOUR point, there was 11 seconds left on the clock and the QB had only DHB streaking deep with double coverage. Ford was running a pattern to the sideline, right or wrong? Both DEs came in damn near unblocked forcing a throw off the backfoot, right or wrong?

December 13th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Is JHill saying that throwing the ball to DHB in the end zone with 11 seconds left and no timeouts was
NOT
the right thing to do?
—————————————————–
I’m saying DHB was double covered and was the only guy going deep. Campbell took a chance with the 15 yd sideline route hoping the WR would get OOB. The rookie WR cut it up under the defender to get OOB.
Were you able to open AIGs link?
What did you see on that last play?
December 13th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Jason Campbell’s ability to be an NFL QB is awaiting moderation.

December 13th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
Glutten,
I agree that the team plays harder nowadays. Haven’t seen any quit in them the way they did last year against the Giants and Texans.
Wonder how much of that has to do with the Cable’s enthusiasm, how much has to do with Russell leaving, and how much has to do with Hue Jackson’s much improved offense.
December 13th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
trust me sammyBull, i would lick the sweat off Als nuts if he locked up Cowher or someone like that but it aint happening and this is what we got and it is an improvment, might not be a ton of it but is nuntheless.
December 13th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Since when do head coaches and OC`s and DC`s get along?…some might, but by and large they are rarely in same meetings, rarely cross paths,…in most cases dislike each other or more likely barely know each other,…Im sure there is tension with Cable and Huey,..as well as with Cable and his DC Phil Donahue…it happens with most teams if not all of them,…Yahoo Sports is a flop,..they get losers like Mike Silverstein and Jason Cole to write crap that is typical internet lies,…like the one when they lied about most coaches wanted Mike Mitchell released, which was of course 100% baloney. I have spoken….by the way,..Jon Gruden in 2011 or Im gone.

But JHill, wouldn’t receivers be double-covered on every single hail mary? You still have to throw it instead of asking a receiver to shake off a defender and get out of bounds with 6 seconds left.
I think more importantly, Aig was showing us how JC has a history of these types of non-killer-instinct plays, and why he has such a losing record.
December 13th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
11 secs left and homie threw 16 yds up for grabs and it wasnt even to the sideline. Ford was no where near the sideline for a tap. You either throw out of bounds or into the endzone.
—————————————————–
Are you really telling me Ford wasn’t running TOWARDS the sideline?
Of course it was a duck you CLOWN! Isn’t that what throwing off your backfoot because the DEs are in your face?
Did you see him make a move to shake the DE but decide against it and heave it towards Ford?
Who the EFF said it was a nice sit in the pocket read and throw to the sidelines?
It was a busted play! Oline BROKE DOWN!
You act like the guy sat in the pocket, dropped back, and threw it to a RB 5 yds down field, lol.
Oh, and why are you mad again?
December 13th, 2010 at 3:46 pm

December 13th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Alex, he’s better than Boller. What else can the Raiders do? They don’t have a better QB option right now. It is what it is.
I don’t think anyone is campaigning for Jason to be the long-term solution. Despite preferring him to Bruce, I have said here multiple times that we need to draft a franchise QB in the Bradford/Luck mold. I don’t want any more castoffs (McCown/Campbell), retreads (Daunte), journeymen (Bruce/Boller), etc.
December 13th, 2010 at 3:46 pm

I’m happy with the way they played yesterday. They didn’t quit they played there asses off. We should all be happy with the way there playing this yr compared to last eight yr’s. We are on the rise. Someone had to lose yesterday it just happened to be us. They quit against pits and Miami. But showed heart yesterday to me. And that should mean a lot. We know how it feels to be in the hunt this yr. How it feels to beat SD, how it feels to kill the broncos and beat kc. And that will go a long way to how we will do next yr. I’m excited and raider nation should be also. Major props to the team this yr.
December 13th, 2010 at 3:48 pm

Alex,
Let’s not make this that hard. DHB going into the endzone against double coverage making a catch he’s never made in his life?
If it’s really down to that as the option how about neither one of them would be smart?
Now why don’t you tell me why, if it was indeed a Hail Mary situation, why we didn’t have Chaz and JLH in the game ALSO sending EVERYONE into the endzone?
Why were Ford and Murphy even running short routes to begin with????
THAT is what I’d rather discuss that does JC suck because he didn’t overcome Carlisle running into him or if he should have thrown to DHB in the endzone.

RaidingTexas,
we’re not debating that the defense and special teams didn’t cost us the game.
However, that last pass simply confirms what many of us debate here weekly: That Jason Campbell doesn’t have what it takes to be a consistent winner in the league. He doesn’t have “it”. No killer instinct.
He proved it in Washington and is proving it here.
He’s turning 30 next season and isn’t our long-term answer if we want to be a team that can beat the top teams out there.
They guy played great yesterday although I was pissed he didn’t just throw it in the endzone on the last play and he held on the ball too long a couple times he continues to improve regardless of his age. Who could we get that is noticebly better than him in the offseason without getting rid of key pieces on our team knowing it’s going to take that guy time to let learn the system? That’s right, nobody

Well if Im gone Im gone,..Iv instructed my ticket rep, Sarah Cattaneo, to NOT send me an invoice for 2011 if Jon Gruden is not the head coach,..she responded that she got email and will abide by it,…if Jons not here in 2011 A lot has lost its baddest tailgate party for life.
December 13th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
We actually played our best game as an offense with Campbell on DMAC being DMAC Zach Reece Murphy and even DHB gettin in on it. We’re continuing to improve and we’re still a SD slip up away (KC will lose to either Rams or Tenn) from controlling our destiny. Our young team finally found it’s identity maybe too late but this is a contender as is and will be for a while. Be happy were back in the hunt because Tom Brady Peyton Manning Aaron Rodgers Drew Brees Matt Ryan and Sam Bradford aren’t falling in our laps.
December 13th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Norco, if Gruden isn’t the coach in 2011, can you leave the blog too?
December 13th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
He wouldnt stay away because he hates Al,..from what Iv heard he loves Al,…the problem is Al, not Jon,…and nobody in Alameda has the balls to tell Al whats best for the future of the Raiders,…because alot of them would be fired the day Jon and Bruce came back….and for the record, once again, with most teams, the coach and owner arent best friends…almost all head coaches half to walk on eggshells around their owner.

December 13th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Inonewordraider,
unfortunately, that weird decision at the end of the game has been his career norm.
And unfortunately, some people DO think he’s the long-term answer, despite the fact we play the Vikings, Packers, Patriots, Jets, and Bears next year.
We’re not going to improve next year if he’s still our QB. We’ll be 6-10 with that schedule.
JC simply succumbs to pressure situations.
December 13th, 2010 at 4:00 pm

Oakland Raiders have fired Tom Cable for insubordination and conduct detrimental to the team and have named Hue Jackson interim head coach:

Norco, that’s a good point. If Al hires Gruden, Gruden will surely fire just about everyone he can, so the whole building is advising Al against it, because of course it’s their job as soon as Gruden gets off the plane.

Almost all head coaches have to walk on eggshells?
Philly, New England, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, NYJ, Baltimore, Green Bay, Atlanta, New Orleans, Indy, Tennessee,
no eggshell walking in at least a third of the NFL.

Is the current formula more to your taste? That same formula of castoffs, retreads, journeymen over the last 8 years?
If we don’t draft one, then Jason is probably the best we’re going to get. Maybe if the Cowboys think Kitna is their guy now, we can trade away Nnamdi or some picks for Romo. I’d be fine with a gunslinger like him.
December 13th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
The problem with Cable…
he seems ok and can get along with Big Al…
But he’s panicking out there, the challang on that run and going for it on fourth and 3 with more than 7:30 minutes left in the game.
Your down by 7, your starting QB is hurt, kick the field goal…7 mins is an eternity
