Broncos linebacker arrested, waived hours later
Posted by Evan Silva on December 20, 2010, 9:00 PM EST
We didn’t think much of it when linebacker Kevin Alexander hit the waiver wire earlier today, losing his roster spot on the Broncos in favor of cornerback Chevis Jackson. Alexander appeared in nine games for Denver, recording just four tackles. He went undrafted out of Clemson this April.
The move became a story when it was revealed that, just hours before he was cut, Alexander was arrested on investigation of assault and battery by Aurora police in Colorado.
Alexander’s girlfriend told officers that the two argued Sunday night after the woman accused Alexander of cheating on her with one of her friends. Alexander allegedly “became mad and eventually grabbed her several times,” before throwing her to the ground.
“He then grabbed her around the throat and pushed her against the wall,” reads the police report. “She states that she was either punched or slapped in the right side of her face.”
The woman also accused Alexander of “punching her once before.”
Alexander was released from jail at 2 p.m. Monday on $2,000 bond.
He has a court date set for Tuesday.

December 20th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
ticketmaster.com, or just go on the raiders.com
December 20th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Favre got what he deserved.
December 20th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Doesn’t Thomas Howard or someone have a website where you can get it cheaper?
December 20th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Not sure about that one. You can try stubhub.com. They sometimes have it cheap.
December 20th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Stubhub is resale.
Ticketmaster helps uncle Al’s pocket book more.
December 20th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
True, JFB…but isn’t it cheaper? Sometimes?
December 20th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
Absolutely can be cheaper.
You do have to factor close to 15% in stubhub mark ups and such from the initial price listed.

From ESPN:
Oakland’s 98 combined points against Denver this season was the most any team has scored against another in a season since the merger.
LOL…it should have been more than a 100, but will take it! BTW: Where’s Spider?

Yup! And also a combined 63 points against SD! WOW! Those 4 games alone was one off of the low scoring debacle that we had in 2006! What was it? 162 for the season that year?

Cable stuck Veldheer @ C for a reason… It was/is the weakest link on the o-line. Is there any reason C should not be our #1 pri after finding a NFL QB?
If we can draft a QB in the 2nd, or trade up to get one in the first, then we should do so.
If not C! Wiz or Pounc
December 21st, 2010 at 1:41 am
Veldheer is holding it down on the left side, looks like he pitched a tent and he’s stayin!
Sateelleeee???? Can he play G, or long snap? It is kinda hard to keep a backup C that can’t do anything else.

McClain will lose in a battle of wits with Peyton Manning every time.
the whole “chess game” thing between a future Hall of Fame quarterback and a rookie MLB that could be replaced by the lead singer of Hall & Oats is bogus.
11 guys on offense. 11 guys on defense. everybody (including coaches) make a difference in the outcome of ballgames
If Seymour & Asomugha play, we will this game by 17 points. Print That
December 21st, 2010 at 5:10 am
Chaz Schilens = new punter
December 21st, 2010 at 5:19 am
Congrats BCZ, you were my kryptonite in FF this season, beating me twice.
Hell of a run last night, couple calls here or there was the decider.
Now go and beat Marley.
December 21st, 2010 at 5:22 am
a rookie MLB that could be replaced by the lead singer of Hall & Oats
********************************
McClain is going to have his private eyes watching Peyton this week.
You realize that this rookie MLB is leading our best rushing defense in 7 years don’t you? And our rushing defense is making a mockery of our division foes?
December 21st, 2010 at 5:29 am
Now go and beat Marley
***
Marley is also in the FF championship in my league!
this guy just pisses excellence in the fantasy football realm
Aaron Rodgers was hurt, so he subbed in Rex Grossman and got 43 points from him, LOL
December 21st, 2010 at 5:33 am
I beat Marley earlier this year and was ready to do it again.
Unfortunately, my 3rd WR killed me all year. I decided with Tebow in the game the Donks would run a lot of reverses and short passes, so I played Eddie Royal. Zero points.
Than watched in horror as the WR I benched him for, Devin Hester, would have got me in the championship game.
That’s how it goes.
December 21st, 2010 at 5:34 am
Congrats BCZ, you were my kryptonite in FF this season, beating me twice.
***
BCZ beat me twice as well. Kudos
the guys with the better teams usually win and Tom Brady has been a fantasy beast this year. His backup Kyle Orton was killing it up until about 3 weeks ago too
December 21st, 2010 at 5:38 am
I never draft QB’s in the draft early, too many Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman’s out there that end up putting up the most points out of anyone this time of the year.
Just like my waiver wire pickup two weeks ago, Jason Campbell, is going to get me the bronze medal this week against Dell.
December 21st, 2010 at 5:38 am
JFB,
it’s hard to rely on Chicago players. It could be Knox, Bennett, Hester or Olsen on any given week.
When you start one, he doesn’t produce. When you keep one on the bench, he outperforms your starter.
When you use Cutler as an injury replacement, the Bears win with Forte, Defense & Special Teams.
December 21st, 2010 at 5:42 am
I almost made the championship with Cutler, McNabb, Garrard, Matt Stafford and Bruce Gradkowski as my QB’s, lol.
December 21st, 2010 at 5:43 am
Jason Campbell is going to get me the bronze medal this week against Dell.
***
Indy has an awful defense. If the Colts start putting up some points, JCamp will be throwing the football. If the Raiders score first with McFadden or Bush and stay hot, JCamp could just fall into game manager mode and have 100 yards passing when we beat them by 17
Seymour & Asomugha are banged up, so JCamp is probably a safe bet … unless Mathis & Freeney destroy our O-Line and he has no time to get the ball off
December 21st, 2010 at 5:47 am
Colts seem to get the run D in order this time of year, almost yearly. I think we will have to throw the ball 30+ times to win, because we won’t rush for 220 yards and we will ahve to score.
December 21st, 2010 at 5:49 am
The Jaquars thought they were just going to run the ball and control both LOS’s last week.
Than Donald Brown went out and doubled up MJD’s production!!!
We can’t have the same simple-minded gameplan.
December 21st, 2010 at 5:56 am
Freeney has 8 sacks this year.
Mathis has 9.5 sacks this year.
Antoine Bethea, Pat Angerer, Gary Brackett & Kelvin Hayden are also players to watch for
Peyton Manning has thrown 15 INT’s so far this year … the same amount as Campbell & Gradkowski (combined)
December 21st, 2010 at 5:59 am
Mornin’ Nation.
Veldheer had better be ready. Freeney will be his toughest test yet. I’m worried about Mario Henderson facing Robert Mathis on the other side too. We all know how Campbell implodes in the face of a bigtime pass rush.
Front 4 has got to suck it up and maximize natural pressure. Blitzing Manning is close to suicide.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:02 am
Even with a Colts team in decline, they are still formidable.
The thing about Indy’s defense is it’s speed. Gonna be hard for DMac to get to the edge. Their linebackers flow to the ball exceptionally well.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:03 am
Signs of progress: We can actually talk seriously about the possibility of beating the Colts. A year ago we would’ve been praying to keep it under 50.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:05 am
Peyton threw 11 of those in 3 games though.
The other 11 games, he has thrown 4.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:07 am
How awesome would it be if the Dolts and and Chiefs lost in the morning?
It would be a home playoff game!!!
TO injury didn’t help us any for the Bengals-Dolts though.

++++++++++
One hopes the coaches are studying film of the 3 games where he threw 11 INTs to see how he was forced into it.
I actually hope Marshall sticks to the man-to-man this week. Manning can shred your zone coverages, particularly when you play those zones as ineptly as the Raiders secondary.
And for god’s sake, let Nnamdi shadow Reggie Wayne. He will destroy Routt.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:09 am

++++++++
In a perverse way, it might have helped because now they can just feed the ball to Cedric Benson who went off last week. Bush in the first SD game and DMac in the second were both unstoppable.
Hit ‘em in the mouth, Cincy!
December 21st, 2010 at 6:10 am
I suspect Routt will get toasted all game by some combo of slow white guys.

The crucial game is Tennessee beating KC. If KC wins, it doesn’t matter what the Chargers do, or us for that matter.
If SD wins, but KC loses, we still can hope Jesus Tebow pulls out a Miracle at Mile High in the last week of the season.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:14 am
We’re putting our faith this week in the Bengals and Kerry Collins. What a weird and somewhat hopeless feeling.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:16 am
I have confidence Tebow will at least keep it close against SD.
And they play after us I believe, unless we flex, so there would be some added pressure on Norv Turner, which is not necessarily his strong suit.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:18 am
I tell ya, that Dunlap kid out of Florida is REALLY coming on for the Bengals. 7 sacks in 10 games of mostly spot duty. Sorta like how Shaughnessy was last year.
I hope he snaps Rivers in half.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:23 am
Nice season JFB. If its any consolation to ya, Marley is probably gonna torch me.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:28 am
I tell you, the more I think, the more optimistic I am that the Titans can save our bacon this week.
Collins has looked really sharp the past two weeks. Chris Johnson has blown up over the same span. They’ve got a nice pass rush.
If they can contain Jamaal Charles (no easy task), I think they can win, particularly if KC feels the pressure to win and folds.
Of course all that pre-supposes us being Indy
December 21st, 2010 at 6:29 am
passing briefly through BSPN’s NFL Primetime last night I saw a Raider image so I paused. bspn showed Tbone run, Tbone pass blah blah blah and then the pass and run by Reece who was lauded by Hoge. as they were ending the segment, audible barely as an apologetic whisper one could hear “The Raiders scored 98 points against the Donkeys in their two meetings this season. The most ever by one team against another since the merger in 1970.” bspn hated to say it but there it is.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:51 am
We ran for over 500+ yards on that Donkey defense as well this year, that has to be involved in some type of record as well.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:59 am
EVERYONE FIGHTING 4 THE AFC WEST TITLE EXCEPT DENVER..I REALLY FEEL SORRY 4 THE MILE HIGH CITY…WELL..MAYBE NOT. THEY R THE NEW DOORMAT OF THE DIVISION.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:09 am
If Tebow doesn’t pan out, the Broncos will go on an epic downward spiral.
You can’t waste draft picks on a QB and waste all that money and other personnel decisions from Joshie and not be in a huge hole for 4-5 years.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:11 am
That would be a real shame for the donkeys dumbass fans to be destitute and demoralized. Tears are welling in my eyes already.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:14 am
If the Raiders are out of it entering the KC game, and they need to beat the Chefs for SD to win division, I would rather have the Raiders lose that finale than have the stinkass chargers back into a title after we kicked their butts twice … thoughts?

In 2003 Jamal Lewis rushed for exactly 500 yards against the Browns which at the time was a record. Not sure what his relief did in those games, so we may have set a record.

I mean, I want the Raiders to win every game, but the thought of the Chargers going to the playoffs again makes me want to puke on Norve Turner’s pock-hole face
December 21st, 2010 at 7:17 am
So Hester sets the NFL record for returns, and goes to the podium and starts sobbing, wishing the other 10 no-name fringe NFL players on his ST unit could share with his glory.
Meanwhile, Mr. Camera Phone on the other side did everything he could to steal the spotlight from the other 52 players on his team last night and really all year.
Yet Favre will still be the ‘ol gunslinger, the iconic figure who the game will miss dearly, and was so much phone to watch.
I never had more fun watching Favre than the 20 seconds he was face down in the turf yesterday.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:17 am
I mentioned that yesterday Ghost. Win and we put SD in, lose and we put KC in… I would almost rather put KC in to watch them get hammered by by Bal/Pit/NYJ
December 21st, 2010 at 7:18 am
Bert got lucky last night … he landed on his brainless head or else he might have been seriously injured
December 21st, 2010 at 7:18 am
You have to beat the division opponent. KC hates us more than anything, I would love to stick it to them on “Raider hater week” in KC.
Knock the Chiefs out, than watch Norv have another epic playoff failure and get canned.
Sounds like a win-win to me.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:19 am
Yep, Bcz … I just can’t stomach norv’s phony ass team making the playoffs again … they don’t deserve it — and they always lose anyway
December 21st, 2010 at 7:21 am
JFB … I don’t think they fire norv even in the wake of another playoff game meltdown … don’t forget that 20-1 december record (wonder what his January record is?)
December 21st, 2010 at 7:23 am
Norval DID get swept by the Raiders. He was embarassed at home in December by us. Plus with the glut of SB winning coaches available, he shouldnt feel too comfy when he goes to NE and gets trounced.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:27 am
Ghost,
priorities. who cares if Norval’s STDs benefit from the Raiders smacking down KC. win every game you can and f$%k the rest of the teams. and sticking it to the Chefs in their house in the final game would be an excellent send-off.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:29 am
Watching the Chiefs celebrate on the sideline and giving Haley a Gatorade bath because they are beating us does not sound like any type of way to spend a Sunday watching football.

December 21st, 2010 at 7:38 am
Sadly Jamarcus will probably be the needy family trying to make ends meet in about 5 years.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:42 am
Cable has to put a ban on all electronics (phones laptops, etc.) for Sunday. In the event SD and KC win, and the Raiders know it, they could mail it in before kickoff. At least the Raiders of old would… I’m optimistic the Bungles & Titans can get it done though.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:42 am
JustFB,
last night on Chronicle Live Raider announcer Greg Papa said he saw JaWalrus in Oaktown airport Saturday. Didn’t know if he was at Sunday’s game or not. Probably trying to unload his house ’cause the money he stole from the Raiders is drying up.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:44 am
Wouldn’t be suprised M.
But didn’t he miss some of this season’s camp because he was closing on a house somewhere per Willie Brown?
Has Jamarcus heard of things called, e-mail, faxing and a realtor? Why does he have to travel for all this stuff?
December 21st, 2010 at 7:45 am
JFB, How do you feel about Brett Favre? ;^)
Not to worry man, I really think we’ve seen the last of him… Unless of course you watch the idiots talking up the fav’s on pregame shows. I think he’ s destined to become one of them. Thankfully, I quit watching those shows about 10 years ago.
December 21st, 2010 at 7:56 am

December 21st, 2010 at 8:09 am
Unlike some here I think our team matches up well with the dolts. The raiders must throw on first down early in the game, & pound it with dmac. The d ends for Indy are super agressive, we should be able to catch them with play action on early downs & screens. We can wear down they’re undersized front with dmac & bush. Could be slow in the first half & gouging them in the second. Campbell should not have to throw more than 20-25 times. If he does we are not playing the game we need to beat this team. Make it a physical slugfest not a boat race.
Our defense plays it’s best against one deminsional passing offenses, ( sea, den, sd, Philly last year). Peyton manning is good but he isn’t a tough guy. When you hit him a few times he tanks. This has been his story going back to college. He is the Tommy hearns of quaterbacks. Excellent skills, knock out power, glass jaw. We have exactly the kind of front that gives him fits, pressure up the gut from Kelly & seymour. Don’t blitz this guy often though, he is at his best with short timming game. The occasinal blitz is ok but bring it up the middle.
Lastly there will be some chances for us to strike deep on play action, they’re secondary is nothing special.

————-
Without a trade into the first round, I doubt the Raiders will get Wiz or Pouncey. And I’m not sure they have the ammunition necessary to get themselves into the first round, unless they trade away a couple 2012 picks, too.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:19 am
Absolutely the only way to beat Peyton is to push him around, much like our own QB and just about every other QB in the league. Problem is, Peyton is one of the best at avoiding the big hit and getting rid of the ball, hence the fact he has never missed a start and holds the NFL record for least amount of sacks per game.
Colts in December are different than the Colts in October. For some reason, it seems they shore up a little bit their run D this time of year, and force teams to leave their game plan by hanging up 20+ points in the first half just like last week.
The Jaguars tried the same game plan that we would think we would try, and were getting boat-raced until they switched up and started throwing the ball. We either need to be better at it than they were, could happen, or be quicker to move to plan B.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:24 am
The Colts are going to be able to move the ball, and other than his rookie year and that bizarrre 3 week stretch this season, the other 99% of his career he is not one to turn it over a bunch.
So you have to win the field position game, make them go the length of the field, not give them cheap penalty yards, and force them into a few FG attempts rather than TD’s.
We must score at least 24 points in this game, IMO, to win the ballgame.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:24 am
Olin Kreutz is a FA…
December 21st, 2010 at 8:27 am
The Bears, with possibly the worst offensive line in football, IMO are legit contenders in the NFC.
They frustrated Vick more so than any other team earlier this year, and have the best ST’s in the league.
That Hester is something else. Hadn’t returned a kickoff in a few weeks, so they trot him out there after the half and he returns it 85 yards like it was nothing.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:31 am
Sports radio in Chitown is hilarious when the Bears are playing well. Of course, 3-4 weeks ago they wanted Lovie fired…
December 21st, 2010 at 8:31 am
Lets not forget that the Colts are a completely different team at home.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:32 am
When the Bears played Vick earlier this year they sacked him 8 times and forced 4 fumbles and an INT.
Because they won, if they finish with the same record the game will be in Chicago, and right now they have the inside route for the #2 seed and a bye.
Kudo’s to Rockstar for calling it on the Bears in the preseason!!!
And who needs an O-line!!!!
December 21st, 2010 at 8:32 am
Kreutz does not have a whole lot left in the tank. Also, much like Mawae, I’m not sure he’s a fit for the Raiders’ O-line. You don’t see him ten, fifteen yards downfield run blocking. If we’re going to look at FA, Satele is unfortunately the best fit.

The jags don’t have a pass rush like us, they were forced to blitz. This plays right into peytons hands. The dolts are built to beat blitzes and zone coverage. Man press coverage natural pressure up the gut will cause manning real trouble. We don’t need to turn him over just rough him up. Manning is the ultimate clean jersey qb, even more so than our own jc. The reason is be is a statue. Zone coverage gives his receivers a chance to find soft spits quickly, he unloads the ball. Man press will not provide the windows he needs, & outside of Wayne his wrs are not very physical. Don’t let them make it a pleasant stroll through the sf embarcadaro. Force them into a street fight in the flat lands of east Oakland.
I agree we need to score 24 pts or so however it shouldn’t be because we are throwing the ball all over the field. Stick to our guns power run, deep pass off play action.

Peyton is a clean jersey QB because he can tire out a D by running that sugar-huddle stuff and call his own plays, and complete 12 of 13 passes on you in a quarter.
We will have to find a way to keep our D-line fresh, and work in some substitutions somehow.

We still easily have the lead in sacks per pass attempt, as we have the fewest pass attempts against us in the league, thanks to our iffy run D and our ball control offense.
December 21st, 2010 at 9:03 am

The Raiders are not a conventional ZBS team anymore. They are more of a hybrid with power elements included. Kreutz would do well here, IMO. If he could stay healthy.
Would you take a pass on Mangold too?

Would you take a pass on Mangold too?
———-
No, but Mangold is younger, quicker, and from what I’ve seen, does significantly more blocking in space than Kreutz does. That said, Mangold signed a huge extension with the Jets in the offseason so it’s sort of a moot point.
I watch a lot of Bears game since I’m from Chicago, and outside of swinging Kreutz to the outside on run plays, you really don’t see him downfield at all.
On Satele’s best plays this season, he has been fifteen yards downfield lead blocking for DMac. That is something the Raiders would lose by bringing in an aging guy without that kind of athleticism.
December 21st, 2010 at 9:29 am
Don’t get me wrong, I think the Raiders should definitely draft Wisniewski or Pouncey if they fall into the second round. But I don’t think Satele should be bounced just for the sake of bringing in anybody else.

December 21st, 2010 at 9:44 am
When i say clean jesrey I mean he needs a clean jersey to play well. He isnt like vick, who can take a pounding all game long then scorch for 3 tds in the fourth. He isnt able to make plays when the heat is in his face. Manning is a clean jersey qb because he isnt nimble in the pocket. Good coverage in man press will force him to hold the ball longer than he likes, and set him up for hits.
The dbs must get a good jam at the line and force the wrs off their rout. This will disrupt the timing and disallow peyton and co getting into that smooth rythm they need.
Manning is good, not tough. This is why even with all of the bells and whistles and fancy dummy calls, sugar huddle and the like he has routinely flamed in the playoffs. maybe the second most overrated qb of this era.

Mistic – Could not agree more. Tasteless, offensive and inappropriate are words that come to mind. Racism is rampant in our country even though some would like to deny it.

People who find this kind of stuff funny are uneducated morons… plain and simple.

Thomas Howard has fallen out of favor with the coaching staff for whatever reason. He’s a FA after this season and will likely be gone.
Fair or not, I think he and Morrison got pegged with most of the blame for poor tackling and run defense over the last few years.

Did anyone watvh the Jags/Colts game? I’m looking at the stats and MJD only ran 15 times with Jennings getting 3 carries. Garrard threw 38 times. They weren’t getting blown out so there was no reason to get away from the run other than trying to surprise the colts.
If the Raiders pound the ball all day and prevent the 30+ yard plays on D, we win this comfortably.

Play the stock market and try to get a business loan. The more your business exploits stupid people, the more chance you have of getting a loan. That’s the only way you’re going to make it. And MBA? What’s the point? So some corporation can hire you as a fall guy?

mornin’ nation,
what a difference a day makes!! last week this time half of the semi pros wanted to fire cable..the other half wanted to cut campbell. glad we didn’t act on those recommendations.
our raiders are making big strides, learning how to win, and play for each other. it is a great time to be a raiders fan!!!! and should we make the play-offs the sky could be the limit, and yes i think campbell can win a sb.. he may not carry this team by himself, he doesn’t have to because he has dmac and j ford and others to help him. i think the team is finding that they can beat anyone when they play their game..
the big upside is what we have to build on for the coming season. just a few pieces, a good right tackle, and right guard(campbell?) a shutdown corner. a wide receiver with good hands (schillens?)..will doit!!
December 21st, 2010 at 10:36 am

Jags were going 3 and out, and the Colts put up 3 quick TD’s.
Twice the Jags went for it on 4th and 1 and handed off to MJD, both times they got snuffed. Another time they got to the 1 yardline, and MJD and Garrard went backwards. They also tried the option play that worked so well against us on a 1st down in the 3rd quarter, and Garrard pitched it behind MJD for a loss of about 15 yards.
They didn’t start moving the ball until they started throwing it.

Another reason why qb rating is not that big a deal. Eagle 7 was 10-15 for 65 yds and a pick 6:10 to play in the 3rd quarter, down 24-3. he had a qb rating of 47.9.
We all know how that turned out.
December 21st, 2010 at 12:27 pm
QB rating’s not that big of a deal until Campbell has a good rating. Then you’ll make his rating your screen name, won’t you?

QB rating is good for evaluating QB play, obviously. It doesn’t mean you can’t win, otherwise.

Sitting at 7-7, the Raiders have made football in the Bay Area fun to watch again. I could sit here and write about Raider statistics all day but that wouldn’t really tell you anything about the changes that the Raiders have made this year. What I can tell you is how the Oakland Raiders have corrected many of their poor football habits.
Football habits are considered to be the “little things” that separate the Pros from the Joes. On the defensive side of the ball the little things would be getting lined up, good tackling and knowing your assignment.
The offensive side it would be knowing the snap count, running the correct routs and establishing a run game. It’s the same with special teams, like holding your blocks until the whistle is blown, catching the ball and setting your offense or defense up with good field position. All of these little things have to be done if a team wants any chance to win a game.
When it comes to “the little things,” the Raiders have not set the best example, but they are easily the most improved in the 2010 NFL season. Most people think that doing the little things comes from coaching, but I disagree. Coaches can only give players the information, and from that point it has to come straight from the player. I try and tell people time and time again that a player’s mindset is everything in the game of football, and you can not coach that.
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images When a player gets to the NFL, he has proven to the world that he is one of the best. He has done so by doing all of the little thing that separated him from the others.
The Oakland Raiders didn’t need a babysitter to tell them how to play football the right way. They needed to take it upon themselves to play the game in a way that made them NFL players in the first place, and that is exactly what they have done.
When people watch the game of football they want to see the passion of the game come alive no matter what rule changes are put in place. The Raiders have reawakened the soul of the McAfee stadium and just in time, because I don’t think Raider Nation could take another bad year.

Every sport has legends who failed as well as succeeded. Reggie Jackson comes to mind. And how about Al Davis?
December 21st, 2010 at 12:51 pm
I think the Raiders are going to choke this week and it’s all going to be over. Then it’s time for Al to get to the table and try to talk some sense into the other owners. Because the union’s not budging.
December 21st, 2010 at 1:00 pm
No, I don’t want the Raiders to lose, ding dong. If I wanted the Raiders to lose, I’d just root against them, and be a fan of another team. Why would I waste my time? I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t a Raider fan. But they are going to lose this week. Must in game for Indy. Manning will slice Al’s defense into pieces. It will be a blowout. Big story starting next Monday is the lockout. And that’s where Al might be able to do some good, for a change.

While everyone else (raider hater included) are talking about how he has improved and is becoming a leader on this team, you say he “sucks”. You state that as if ist’s fact, but it’s not.
JaMar sucked

Gradkowski well he had some good moments, but that’s it.
Campbell- Good QB with first winning record for a Raider QB since 2002, with the best QB rating as well.
December 21st, 2010 at 3:12 pm
When we got JC I was excited, not because I felt he would take us to the promised land but because I figured he was a middle of the pack NFL QB.
I also thought the team would play much better and they have. We have improved, helped by an amazing draft class.
JC scared me at first, especially that first game. However he has proven he can help the team win with the killer running attack.
More power to him. Lets hope he improves next year, which he should, especially if we get a proven WR.

The Reals MaddenRaider would like James Plunket to play Raiders qb.
December 21st, 2010 at 4:17 pm
Unsure if the plays are breaking down, if our receivers are covered, but whatever it may be, I like that JC has recently taken off running with the ball.
Haven’t had that since early Rich Gannon.
Just one more thing for defenses to think about.
The addition of 1-2 more good cornerbacks and this D will be lethal.
Lethal D plus an Offense that can Pass for 250+ and rush for 150+ and ‘what’ the QB’s name is is moot.

Kirk,
did you watch Eli earlier this year on a scramble late in his first game against Philly? Had the first down in field goal range but couldn’t figure out how to slide or fall so he did a vaudevillian pratfall, untouched, coughed up the ball and lost the game for his team.
Peyton running? Yikes!
Not all QBs should tuck and run.
December 21st, 2010 at 4:46 pm
There are only a couple of jc haters left the rest have been converted to at least acceptance, based on what he has done on the field.
Just as I predicted and continued to say he would restore our offense to a respectable level, and beyond. as it stands now we are a top 10 offense in the nfl. jc is doing this in a new offense behind shaky pass protection, and sub par wr play.
The haters are being pummeled on a weekly basis.
December 21st, 2010 at 4:52 pm
There are also a couple of closet haters, that pretend to accept jc. They say they arent haters when asked directly in order to avoid being clowned when jc wins, yet cant wait to rip him when he struggles.
You know who you are, stick to your guns. We know who you are as well.

Actually I am really happy for jc, under aprreciated at auburn after going undefeated. Then scapegoated and again under appreciated in Washington, post gibbs.
He is finally is in a good situation professionally. He has an offense that is being tailored to fit his strengths, he has a couple of nice weapons around him, like dmac, ford and miller. He has young wr that are growing, and could potentially be very good. He has Hu jak Most of all he has Al Davis, who will beyond all else make certain he gets every shot to succeed.
He is becoming a leader based on his play, and this young team is poised to make real noise next year as they continue to upgrade in a few key spots.
The future looks good in the town!

Jason Campbell deserves credit for making the transition from a guy who has good first halves and bad second halves, to a guy who has bad first halves, and than plays well down the stretch.
No matter if we even lose these last two games, we should look to have a solid draft like last year (anything close would be great) bring back at least some coaching, and Jason Campbell.
There, I said, I believe it, at least for one year, let the Jason Campbell era begin.
December 21st, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Santana Moss, now 31, is headed for unrestricted free agency. He’s having a solid campaign with 953 yards and six scores on a mediocre offense. While he may not break as many big plays as he used to, Moss looks like a guy that will age better than, say, his old doppelganger Laveranues Coles.
….
He has played with Campbell and would be a nice addition.
December 21st, 2010 at 5:58 pm
Yes AIG the niners did beat us. Then they promtly got smoked by the team that we have beaten twice. so they get bragging rights. so what?
December 21st, 2010 at 6:02 pm
Also deserving a ton of credit, Tom Cable.
This past draft looks to be a great one. An athletic left tackle, a mean and tough DE, a brainaic MLB with a little bit of a swagger who has already proven to be no fun to deal with, and a super-fast WR who freguently makes 50+ yard plays. Throw in some back-ups and ST bodies as well.
And did any one else seem more involved in this past draft, than Tom Cable? That’s a Tom Cable type of draft and he even did every interview for the team and he was wearing Hawaiin shirts the whole time. He probably brought the beer as well.
Maybe his calling is in the front office, but in some degree, we need to get Cable around.

I think to stop the Colts we have to be very physical with their wideouts, and anybody that goes over the middle gets lit up like a Christmas tree. We have the pass rush to get to Manning, but I don’t think they’ll give us time to get to him. He’s gonna dink and dunk all day in order to get the ball out quickly and avoid the pressure that the Colts know we can bring. They will try and cross us up with screens and draws, and only when they see us overcommitting to the short game will they take a chance on him holding the ball for any length of time and go deeper. Make the receivers alter their routes at the LOS and we have a chance; let them get off the line free and we’ll get carved up.
They will also try and get their RBs isolated on our linebackers. Their guys are smaller and quicker and therefore have to be chipped and held up before they get out into their patterns.
Don’t make stupid mistakes and get behind early, be very physical with their receivers, beat them up with the run, and play-action pass effectively. If we do those things we have a shot.

Don’t see what the big stink about Hue is? If he leaves does he get to take the play book with him?He has called some great games lately even with a few bad calls like the ones in Jacksonville late in the game with Boller. And he’s called some really bad games as well, 49ers,arizona,huston,and miami. Ok the last ones not fair, Bruce played like s$hit!But really I think the head coach is more important and if we change cordinators why can’t we keep the same system. It’s simple to me “hey Barny this is the play book. Can you do it?” Anwser; No. “Next canidate” If I’m not mistaken thats probably what Al did in the first place.

Every week is the “all out” game when you’re facing elimination. The real “all out” game was against Pittsburgh. That was the game to establish ourselves as a real NFL team. Campbell was scared on the first drive.
December 21st, 2010 at 6:57 pm
LOL…no, all out during the tailgating…
Food, beer, Henney, whatevers! It will be a long 8 months after!
December 21st, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Wrong about the season RMR. The queefs are gonna loose,and the raiders are gonna win. No matter what that leaves at least one more week. Why be a hatter?
December 21st, 2010 at 7:04 pm
That is what we can all hope for…KC, and SD lose and we beat the Colts! It can happen…
December 21st, 2010 at 7:07 pm
gotta agree with MR the steeler game was our chance to take our respect! Still a good season imo..
December 21st, 2010 at 7:14 pm
but if the NFC west gets a team in why cant our RAIDERS be in it too?

There is also a vid of him taking out Adrian Wilson from the Cards.

There is a Ngata one in the suggested Vid, can’t believe how much better he has gotten as a blocker, runner, and tackler
December 21st, 2010 at 7:21 pm
We are 5-0 in our division.
We are at .500 in December..
We are still in the hunt to win our division (KC has to lise the next 2 games, SD has to lose 1 game, and we have to win the next games).
December 21st, 2010 at 7:22 pm
For real huh? The NFC West will probably send someone in at 7-9…what a shame that is…

We’re only winning because Cable is sticking to a conservative game plan. Most of Al’s puppets have folded at this juncture.

December 21st, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Yeah JC was scared the 1st drive vs the Steelers that’s why he drove the team all the way downfield and should’ve had a TD pass if the WR didn’t run out of bounds first.
While JC will not win any MVP votes he has played well enough to get us in position for a possible playoff birth for the first time in 8 years.
JFord is without doubt the steal of the draft with Veldheer as his runner up. We also got a very good LB out the 6th rnd in Goethel who has won a starting job. This may have been the most successful offseason in the NFL bringing in Hujack a QB and a great draft class has transformed this team into a contender. If we didn’t start out 1-3 we would be in the playoffs.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:00 pm
322. Totally.. and thank God
Cable has been able to manage AD’s lunacy and still been able to win – and that in itself is a huge accomplishment. Bottom line, AD drafts, accumulates athletes many of which don’t belong in the NFL and the overall scheme still lives in 1975. Most coaches and picks cannot function here — but Cable has – and honestly I’m shocked – been able to get these guys to believe and actually improve while still being the consumate company man – look at DMC and Ford and Mitchell and Kelly, etc etc – in lesser years these guys were automatic busts. I think he stays because he must have pull with AD in that he as defied him yet still has pushed the team forward and in a way that still shines the light on the old man. The players know it and their responding.
It’s Tom Flores all over again.
I say let Hue go if he wants, because Cable is the new Madden. He knows the insanity but yet gets the best out of a difficult (impossible) situation of coddling the old man where nobody else can, Hue is not ready for that. Nobody is.
Go Raiders!
December 21st, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Veldeer is a Cable pick – without question. And he is producing. Campbell was Al’s pick and Cable had the balls to keep him out of the lineup. If Gallery and others, had the same treatment we might not have been so embarrassed early in decade.

Tom Flores was, for nearly a decade, an assistant to what was then the winningest head coach in NFL.
Think before you type.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Madden left because Al’s insane. Tom managed the team – and was absolutely dealing with the same craziness.. And yet won. Winning despite..
December 21st, 2010 at 8:11 pm
The only insanity is YOU dumbell Cable is doing his job, the one he was hired to do nothing more. This team was biult top to bottom by Mr Davis most of these players were here before Cable.
Tom Cable just doesn’t oppose him Mr Davis, he reasons with him if Mr Davis didn’t allow him to keep his job and bring in Hujack to help him this team wouyld probably be no better than 6-10 again. Mr Dabvis also brought in the QB, yes! the oine who’s winning games for us right now. Cable had the little hero in the way unytil Mr Davis put his butt on IR. That’s been the difference. Get a clue!!!
December 21st, 2010 at 8:19 pm
I was referring to Tom Flores on the last post.. but the same applies to Cable .. AD has a way, its his way or the highway – he makes crazy decisions, some work some don’t – since they came back to Oak most haven’t. My feeling is that coaching does matter and Cable has done something noone since Gru has done – in spite of what many consider to be lunacy – when Cable took over this team was a disaster – he benched JaFat – got rid of the BS, got 2 decent drafts (despite Bey who I still think has something) and changed the attitude but in a way that Al is comfortable with. Thats the key. And changing now is a huge mistake – Cable has an option on his contract which AD will pick up and if Hue leaves – he wont get an HC offer I’m telling you – but if he does – I say don’t choose him over Cable ..
December 21st, 2010 at 8:19 pm
Most of the starters were not here before Cable,and once again your hatred for BG comes out.Funny how short some people memory is.Before Cable became HC the team was in chaos.There was no accountability.Players quit at the slightest bit of controversy.There was back stabbing and divisiveness.Cable has restored the pride everyone once had in being a Raider.Now that that pride has been restored,many want to dump him or at the very least give him no credit.Those people are wrong.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:21 pm
So I gues you were in the warroom and heard TCV tell mR Davis to shutup and he’ll make the next pick, as he boldly took Veldheer agsinst Big Al’s wishes. Yeah and Pigs are flying everywhere.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:22 pm
just saying rmr if u r a fan why not root for the team rather than say their done?Way to support the team!!!
December 21st, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Look, Al Davis is the last living Icon of the golden age of the NFL. He is not stupid, he’s just paranoid. He won’t trust anyone unless they
1) Play the type of game as he wants
2) Use the players that he thinks are the best
3) Win
And Cable has done that – I know his record sucks overall but he took over a mess – but look at what Gruden did – he built a team based on Al’s recipe and still won. Gru went 8-8 his first two seasons but built a winner – I think we’re on that same path.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Sure did look like Cable made the picks this year to me?
December 21st, 2010 at 8:25 pm
I like this team.
Just need some help in the obvious positions.
Route 6 yrs in the NFL

December 21st, 2010 at 8:25 pm
And Tom won a sb stupid . Think?
December 21st, 2010 at 8:25 pm
After years of terrible drafts,it is more than a coincidence we’ve had 2 good drafts in a row since Cable became HC.We all know AD makes the final decision on draft day,but he does listen to those around him,especially if they have good input.I believe Cable has helped provide some of that good input.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Yup
December 21st, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Campbell is garbage. I don’t give him credit for the way the offense has played this yr. His throws are so off recievers have to make such an effort to catch them. Hue doesn’t have him do much as far as throwing. Killer running game and big big plays from are backs this yr. Ford making big plays to but dmac Reece and bush are the reason the offense is so good this yr. I wish I was wrong but just seen to many things from him to think otherwise.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:29 pm
339. Al listens to people he trusts.
And Cable has gained his trust. That’s why we have Veldeer and Houston – Ford was AD’s call, but he was right…
December 21st, 2010 at 8:30 pm
What makes you think I hate Gradkowski Lefty12? I don’t have to hate him to give my opinion I’ve stated the same opinion since day 1. What I have to adore him to tal;k about him? Don’t hate anyone who’s a Raider I just thopught from day1 that the Raiders would be better off if JC was playing well as a starter. YOu know everyone criticism I’ve had for both of them until now. I have grown more sure of JC since the SD game and have said so.
Calling him the “little hero” bother you or something? He is their little hero IMO doesn’t mean I hate the kid at all.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:33 pm
341. Wrong – Campbell is far from garbage.
I hated the trade. I thought he was horrible. He has proven me wrong. He’s a baller and Al was right – Grad’s is not durable enough and Campbell has a winning record with this team – with time he can be great, and he will be.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:41 pm
People that didn’t like Campbell before will find anything to complain about, it is like the receivers aren’t allowed to make acrobatic catches and Peyton’s receivers never have to adjust to any of his perfect throws.
Like CDE, I didn’t know much about Campbell at first and thought he was terrible in the first 2 games, but he began to prove me wrong every week since the second Chargers games. I was also a Grads supporter until the phins game, where I realized he probably couldn’t take us very far.
December 21st, 2010 at 8:42 pm
With our running game, our studs on D, our youth, our new attitude, and the playmakers – (Reece is a monster, Miller is one of the best in the league, Murphy is the next Hines Ward and DMAC can be in the HOF if he wants to – he’s that good) we will be a force for the next 4 years minimum – just don’t *uck it up with firing Cable and sending us back to the BS…
December 21st, 2010 at 8:42 pm
It is the way you always refer to him and the fact you always bring him up-negatively.You usually use some derogatory name when discussing him.You also seem to want Cable gone because at the beginning of the year both Cable and his OC,H.Jackson,felt at the time BG gave the team the best chance to win,and frankly,by watching the 1st couple of games,almost everyone agreed.We have been playing .500 ball with JC at QB,but nobody say that coming early in the year.He has gotten better,but he wasn’t ready to lead this team 16 weeks ago,you even stated that at the time.Now you complain because he wasn’t given the total reins from the beginning.

If.. we can somehow make the playoffs… the rest of the league does *not* want to play this team.. I have NFL replay – got to say we have been kicking major ASSSS *most* of the time – you change 3-4 plays this team should be 9-5 – I know that’s BS because we aren’t but I have confidence that we are on the right path. We are the best team in the AFC west and the Ravens or the Jets would rather play anyone else beside the RAIIIDERS right now. Believe that!

December 21st, 2010 at 8:59 pm
What honestly has Campbell done this yr. Sure the team is 500 but this team is better all around except at qb. Imagine where we would be with a average qb. Me being a die hard fan of this team I really do hope I’m wrong about jc. I just want what’s better for this team and jc just does so many things wrong. I mean when he plays a bad game it is real bad game. Then there are some ok games but in those ok games he just does enough. Also those games he plays ok in he still does and makes a lot of mistakes. I’m just not sold on him yet seems like a hell of a guy. Just can’t get over those qb ratings and bad games I’ve seen him play this yr.
December 21st, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Sanjay, Washington, Brad Roll, Jim Michalcikazzk and Morgan need to go.
December 21st, 2010 at 9:03 pm
One of the main problems with this team is nobody knew what or who we were the 1st part of the year.It took awhile to identify it’s identify.I don’t believe the results would have been any difference early with either QB.We now have our QB and we’ve gotten better as the year has progressed.For that we should be happy.I just don’t understand why people won’t give Cable any credit for where we are today compared to where we were a couple of years ago.
December 21st, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Lefty12 I think I have been very upfront and honest about both players. I had serious doubts about JC early but I didn’t think he should’ve been totally benched in 6qrtrs I have said that. Yes he needed to be pulled in a game maybe but BENCHED in 6qrtrs after coming to a new team is very harsh treatment. I said that because I didn’t see where we were putting in a QB who was a whole hell of lot better.
I call him the “little hero” to piss off the JC haters I don’t hate Bruce at all I like him. But I know there are serious haters of JC in here. They nitpik everything he does….winning aint good enough. But I myself didn’t feel sure about JC until the first SD game as I said. That’s when I saw what he was capable of doing and he has done since. He isn’t yet maybe never will be a great QB but we can and have won big games with him. I mean we can win bigtime games with him at QB. Now my disatisafaction with Cable is why he didn’t giuve the guy the benefit of the doubt when he started him, he yanked him at this first sign of struggle. That IMO cost us dearly, if I’m pissed at anyone it’s Cable for that reason.
And NO I don’t want him fired I want him to understand what he did and own up to it. He always talks about accountablility, well be accountable. I do know someone who will hold him accountable. But we need to keep this train rolling as is that is my honest assesment. He should be given an extension to finish the job as he has turned this team around. I give him full credit for that. But I know without a doubt he didn’t biuld this team. Hell he’s still learning and most of these players were in place when he got the job. From DMC to Shauaghnessey and most of this defense. Bush and and Zack Miller and we all know who brought he QB. Cable has taken what Mr Davis gave himm and done his job……….period
December 21st, 2010 at 9:07 pm
322. Really??
Have you been watching the last 7 years? This guy is winning. Who else can say that? We have gone through Kerry Collins, Tui, Andrew Walter, JuF*ckup, et all. This kid is a winner, can’t you all see that?!! He as all the tools, the Arm, the Atheticism – the durability – and he plays *within the system*. AND, he went undefeated in college – the guy knows how to win. I mean, at least, we can watch him speak in interviews and not embarrass the badge
Trust me, this guy is our guy for the next 2-3 years- I think we will def be in the AFC championship game next year.. and beyond..
December 21st, 2010 at 9:11 pm

December 21st, 2010 at 9:12 pm
Sorry, I meant 352
December 21st, 2010 at 9:17 pm
That is your opinion.I give him much more credit than you do.I just don’t understand why you don’t have the same outrage for Jackson,who by all accounts is running the offense and has stated he was involved in the QB quandary early in the year.HJ stated he wanted to make the QB switch.Could it be Cable took responsibility for the move to show his assistants that as top dog he was willing to take the heat for decisions they wanted to make?
I think I know how you feel concerning the QBs but sometimes the way you present it,it sounds like you can’t stand BG and hated the fact he was given a shot to see if he was worthy of being the starter.
December 21st, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Our main saving grace for this upcoming Colt games is the fact that they don’t have a devastating running game. Dealing with the robot-like professional QB Peyton Manning will be challenge enough. We need to be able to apply pressure to him with the front 4 only. Our LB’s will need to clean house and disable any any receiver crossing in front of them before they can get into a pattern. Our CB’s need to smother the receivers with man coverage and Huff needs to have his best game ever shutting down the TE. Manning will burn us big time if we try to blitz him. He’s just too good at recognizing defenses and he gets the ball out fast. Fortunately he’s not a running threat like Tebow.
We can win this game but we can’t make a bunch of dumb mistakes. Our running game will need to be productive from start to finish. Keeping Manning on the bench with long drives are the order of the day. 200 yds for DMac and at least 150 yds from Bush. Great play action fakes by JCampbell will also help contribute to a success. Should be a great game.
December 21st, 2010 at 9:19 pm
If I’m not mistaking an will all due respect to JC didn’t he have a stout Clinton portis in wash. The raiders are just playin good ball now plain an simple
the oline has been good an run blocking is excellent pass protection has been good.
An the dline has been dominant in all victories
folks it’s gonna take the WHOLE team playing at the level they can for us to beat Indy
oh an btw
a KClost in kc is just as bad as losing at home with me at the game
raiders need to win out no matter what that’s what I’ll except for now
I’ll take a second look at seasons end.
December 21st, 2010 at 9:23 pm
If we start the game, and the Chiefs have lost.. Manning will be punished. There is no way we lose *if* we know winning means a chance at KC to win the division.
Go Raiders!!!
December 21st, 2010 at 9:24 pm
What people fail to see is it took dmac his breakout season, Ford a big rookie surprise and oh am I glad we got him. Reece killer yr comming out of the backfield to make big plays on short passes. Miller and his awesome hands. Bush running hard this yr. To make this offense as good as it has been. Campbell I could honestly say has done nothing spectacular other then a good fake handoff one game and the bootleg. Other then that are big play makers are the reason for the offense this yr. Not Campbell who hue asks to do basic things.
December 21st, 2010 at 9:28 pm
But he is doing those basic things,especially in the 2nd half of games when it is needed.Sure,he could be a whole lot better,but for the most part,he isn’t throwing games away.He deserves to go into next year as the starter,no question.
December 21st, 2010 at 9:33 pm
I too initially went back & forth on the value of JCambell and at time leaned towards Grads. But after Grads last game it was real obvious to me that he’s not durable nor proficient enough to be an NFL starting QB. He’s got some great attributes (i.e. leadership, energy, attitude, etc.) but his negatives far outweigh his positives. If he is resigned, which I do not think will happen, he will be a permanent back-up.
Now JC on the other hand started slow and made mistakes. He was obviously not in sync with our offense or players. BUT, over his last two games he’s made large positive strides in leading thos team to victory. If this progress continues he very well might be the QB we have been looking for. He seems to have a great attitude, better than average accuracy, can throw the long ball and does have touch. He mobile and lately has made excellent decisions in putting the ball away and running with it. Put a great O-line in front of him, Bush, DMac & Reece behind him, growth & improvement at the WR position and we have the makings of a very competitive team.
We still need to fix a couple of holes in the D and then we should be a threat to all who meet us. I definitely like the direction I see us traveling. Now let’s just send Peyton home with a L.
December 22nd, 2010 at 5:12 am
Jb I agree with you about Bruce, except for his last game he was obviously still hurt. Remember preseason? He was lights out and can be a starter. After two seasons w/ the same mistake(taking on a linebacker heads up) I think he has learned his lesson. Where ever he lands I wis him luck.
December 22nd, 2010 at 5:22 am
Anyone know I Colts still run cover two as their base D? I hope so, Trips will kill it in the passing game. JC has to identify the correct receiver in the zone hole( take what they give), and that scares me. Maybe as many as four reads. If he can do that then we will know that we have a QB. This is what should have been done in Pitt. Playing a team and saying I’m gonna do what I want instead of what you need to do (short passes in the wholes) is just plain stupid. That’s on Hue. Pats showed us the week before.
December 22nd, 2010 at 6:03 am
The negative comments I am hearing about Jason Campbell were the same sort of comments that I heard when the Raiders signed Jim Plunkett. Plunkett was drafted by the Patriots and they gave up on him. He went to the 49ers and they gave up on him. When Al Davis got Plunkett, people were saying why is the Raiders signing that bust, he is native american and can’t think, he was too slow, he couldn’t read defenses and he didn’t do anything with the other teams he was on. It was down right hatred. Al Davis never bowed down to none of that non-sense. Two Superbowls later some of these fair weather fans wanted to jump all on Jim Plunkett n*ts and it made me sick! What I am saying is give Jason Campbell a chance before you throw him away. Years later some of you would be saying we should have kept Campbell.
