Still no Seymour
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010 at 10:20 am in Oakland Raiders.
No sign of Richard Seymour as the Raiders started practice earlier than usual Wednesday.
Everyone else was accounted for, including right tackle Langston Walker, who was wearing a helmet and appeared to be getting ready to work with the first team. Walker missed the Indianapolis game, still suffering from the effects of a concussion.

Mort reported that Cable is probably safe with the Raiders….so now Al will certainly fire him no matter the outcome this weekend.
December 29th, 2010 at 10:25 am
Pouncey at center would be nice. He will be as good as his brother. I hope they give Bruce Campbell some playing time this week. Get his feet wet so to speak so we will have something else to talk about this off season, which starts this monday…
December 29th, 2010 at 10:26 am
Seymour is saving himself for the ProBowl.
December 29th, 2010 at 10:26 am
Mort couldn’t predict a fart at bean eating contest…
December 29th, 2010 at 10:29 am
Mort is a professional liar.

Bill Parcells is meeting with the 49ers and will be their new GM and head coach!
WOW!!!

Cable needs at LEAST another two years. Then lets see what happens.

With his job hanging in the balance why would Tom Cable give playing time to a bunch of scrubs or young players?
If he doesn’t win this weekend he is gone, so any evaluation time that might give him on those players is pretty useless to The Buffoon.
Cable seems to luck into end of year wins that keep him around….first it was Bush and a Cadillac injury that bailed him out in TB, then last year he beat Steelers and Broncos teams that were already crashing and burning.
This year Cable gets to play a KC team that has little motivation to give their best effort, so Cable might scratch out an 8-8 season having played the majority of the games against weak ass AFC and NFC West opponents.

anyone know a site that gives comprehensive stats about DBs – # of times thrown at, completions allowed, yards allowed, TDs allowed etc.?
December 29th, 2010 at 10:42 am
Trade DMAC for Bill Parcells!
December 29th, 2010 at 10:42 am
Looks like Parcells is only being consulted by SF regarding another GM candidate, Dakota. But I like the idea of SF flirting with the Parcells tree, because that’s only going to put a fire under Al’s ass to do the same.

Dikota if you are so right about Cable, who should and would replace him then genious?
December 29th, 2010 at 10:49 am
Oh that’s right, I forgot….Tom Cable is irreplaceable! No one could do a better coaching job than Tom Cable!
LMAO
Outside of Bugel, White, Shell, Lal or Rob Ryan, just pick a name of any coach and that guy is likely to be a better HC than The Buffoon.
December 29th, 2010 at 10:50 am
Good point, Tyson. I mean, there’s NOBODY on the planet better than Cable.
December 29th, 2010 at 10:53 am
And before you bring up John Madden…remember, Al Davis didn’t hand pick John Madden. Madden, then an assistant coach, volunteered for the job after John Rauch left and nobody wanted it. Al asked the assistants who wanted the HC job, and John stepped up. John was rewarded for his loyalty. Al didn’t hand pick him out of some kind of keen eye for coaching talent.
December 29th, 2010 at 10:53 am
RMR if I wanted to hear anything out of you I would have farted.
December 29th, 2010 at 10:57 am
A fart would have been more intelligent than your point that Cable is irreplaceable.

Why trust the players or continuity? They certainly don’t know as much about this Raiders team as some loser pawn shop worker in Crap Dakota, and a loser pimple faced homo living in his moms basement who calls himself The RealMaddenRaider…

December 29th, 2010 at 11:11 am
Yeah trust the players Al, like you did when you hired Bugel at their behest…I mean the players love the Cable!
First thing he did as HC was to stop that mean Kiffin ploy of making them practice plays until they got them right, I mean who would want that? Then he instituted the patty-cake training camps, who can’t use a dance class or two? And he only throws drug addicted QBs and job threatening coordinators under the bus….now that is loyalty!
Cable is a joke and any fan that wants him to remain is simply a poor soul who has been so disillusioned by the past 7 years that they have lost sight of the fact that there is something better than bad to mediocre coaching….which they call for in the name of continuity.
Pathetic.
December 29th, 2010 at 11:12 am

What chemistry?
We’re still a bad football team. Easiest schedule in years and we still miss the playoffs choking style.
December 29th, 2010 at 11:14 am
The players loved Rob Ryan too….pizza parties, no accountability.
Yeah, let the players choose their coaches lol.
December 29th, 2010 at 11:15 am
Oh I forgot, Cable once let the players use a day of practice to practice their TD celebrations.
Gotta love that!
December 29th, 2010 at 11:17 am
RMR you said you supported Cable and you approved of the changes he made this year, so why are you backtracking now?
December 29th, 2010 at 11:17 am
the Tom cable issues you could make a compelling argument either way. no matter what happens at KC he will be the HC of the 2011 Raiders…
December 29th, 2010 at 11:18 am

Vick will get a long term deal somewhere and he’ll get the opportunity to pay back his debtors from bankruptcy. He’ll probably try to do the “good guy thing” by making a donation to charity as well, more than likely a animal shelter, humane society or PETA
not sure the whole Ron Mexico thing is behind him, but the dog fighting sure is and he’s been playing some great football this season, hence the Pro Bowl re-birth
December 29th, 2010 at 11:20 am
RMR you publicly stated on this blog that you liked Cable and hoped Al would do the right thing and bring him back next year, so why are you changing now?
You like the taste of a loser pawn shop works nutz?

Truth is, Al Davis hasn’t made up his mind yet. Whenever he has a tough decision to make, he always makes it a point to fill up his diaper, dump the dump, and read the skid marks as if they were tea leaves. That process was instrumental in his decision to draft DHB.

Cole Ford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ford had this to say about professional football: “NFL players are in the environment of the Roman Coliseum. Sacrificing takes place. It’s possible that I didn’t want to become a successful athlete because then I would have been sacrificed.”
[edit] Legal troubles
He moved to Las Vegas in 2004 to pursue a lawsuit against the Mirage casino, demanding $5 million in damages for what he perceived as exploitation of athletes from profiting off sports betting. The lawsuit was dismissed.[1]
On September 21, 2004 police said that he fired a gun toward the house of entertainers Siegfried & Roy. Ford was arrested and charged with three counts of felony firearms charges.[2] At a January 2005 hearing, judge Jackie Glass ruled that Ford was incompetent to stand trial and ordered him sent to a state mental health facility to be evaluated. Ford argued that he was competent and wanted to plead guilty.[3]
According to a psychiatrist’s evaluation after the shooting, Ford stated that he did not intend to harm the performers, but wanted to “warn the world of the illusionists’ unhealthy danger to them and to animals”. The psychiatrist, Norton Roitman, wrote that “While watching Siegfried and Roy, he had a sudden realization that what was wrong with the world was linked to the illusionists’ treatment, dominance and unhealthy intimacy he saw them having with their animals.” Ford told Roitman that he believed the performers had a sexual relationship with their animals and it was a factor in the development of the AIDS virus.[4]

My heart goes out to anyone with mental issues…
Wonder how much drug use contributed to his decline.
Sad story…
December 29th, 2010 at 11:44 am
Pretty sure Eagles won’t move Kolb, unless for a 1st round pick because of his very friendly salary number.
Vick just lit about $15 million on fire last night and threw it out the window. If he is equally awful in his playoff game as he was last night, the Eagles may not outbid other teams for Vick, and you can kiss the franchise tag goodbye as well.
14 TD and 12 turnovers the last 6 games. Jason Campbell has been better than that!!!
December 29th, 2010 at 11:44 am
I’m still mad at Ford for missing that would-be game winner against the Bucs in 96. I mean, I’m sorry he went crazy and everything, but still….

In Cole Ford’s defense, there was always the rumors that Roy was catching it from the Tiger that ended up attacking him.

One great 2 month span is not going to get him paid like proven Super Bowl winners. I doubt he gets paid more than Mark Sanchez is making on his top 5 draft pick deal.

One team that needs a QB next year that probably won’t be in the market for Vick is the Vikings.

I don’t think Marinovich had any mental illnesses. He was just a stoner. Marinovich was the classic case of father trying to live out his dreams through his son. The guy never wanted to play sports. I know someone who was just like that. High school baseball star, played well his first year in college, then just quit, Within months he had long hair, was hanging out with nothing but stoners. Total transformation. Guy was on top of the world, and wanted none of it. He never wanted to play sports.

hard to tell. A franchise QB like Peyton Manning wasn’t benched 3 times this year or sacked 40 times…
JCamp isn’t great, but he’s good enough. Look at the drops, fumbles and bad routes from his WR’s. Look at the Run Defense too. shut down Indy’s 32nd (DEAD LAST) running game and JCamp walks away a winner. He went 2-0 against Phil Rivers this season
December 29th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
If the defense stopped the run this year and special teams didn’t flub it up…the team would be in the playoffs.
Giving up 24+ points to Arizona?
Giving up 30+ points 6x
The long kick return near the end of the gm against Jax
And getting run over by teams good and bad.
DEFENSE WINS GAMES! If the defense gave up 17 pts or less…the Raiders are 12-4 with Jason Campbell and Tom Cable
December 29th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
1) Cable running the football
2) McFadden
3) Ford
That’s it. Take away those three things, and we’re 5-11. It’s really not scientific.

If there were some legit coaches that were beating down Al’s door to coach the Raiders, I would definetley entertain the idea of a new coach. Reality is until the Raiders are a consistent winner and/or Al steps down (lol) there will be no “marquee” coaches in Oaktown. Give Cable another year with his workman like approach and see if the Raiders can continue to improve. Cable is no genius by any means, But he is right for this team right now. (except the soft practices) I think if there is an NFL season next year, The Raiders will continue to grow. Unfortunetley next years schedule may stunt our growth as far as wins/losses.
December 29th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
How sad when next weeks Sunday prime time game is between 2 teams that can’t even get a winning record with a win to enter the playoffs. I don’t think they should redo the playoff format, But I still must say how pathetic. Thankfully this situation is the exception not the rule. Just for haha’s I will cheer for the Rams or Seahawks in the playoffs hoping they can upset someone and that team will be ranked on for the next year. lol
December 29th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Good post Rockstar. People seem to think that if JC isn’t a top 10 QB he should be quickly replaced. THey don’t realize that no one, except Davis, sees JC as a top 10 QB.
But what he can be is the next tier down. And that’s all this team, with a strong running game, needs.
The folks also neglect the fact that the Raiders don’t have the organization, the stability or the patience to develop a young QB like Rogers, Bradford or Freeman.
So, this is the best we can get. And its not too bad considering the JaDavis debacle.
JC is not the reason this team missed the playoffs. Its a defense that can’t stop the run and gives up long plays on 3rd and long.
December 29th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
HB,
I’d much rather see the Packers or Giants in the playoffs than the NFC West division winner!
Does it really matter who wins between the Rams or Seahawks? Either team will get CRUSHED the very first week (wildcard round)
December 29th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
#91, it is plane obvious that jc is the best raiders qb since gannon..it is plane obvious that jc has all the physical tools to do the job..it is plane obvious that he is our best chance now.. and by the way cable is not going anywhere..you can’t see any of that because you are stuck on the greatgradkowski’s nuts.

I wouldn’t mind watching the Bucs if they got in. I don’t like GB and the NYG, so it doesn’t really matter to me. I realise it is 90% that Seahawks or Rams will get pummeled in 1st round, But it would be amusing to see the “underdog” pull off an upset win or two, however unlikely. Basically when the Raiders are not in the playoffs I usually find myself cheering for the underdog or cheering for the team that is playing against the Pats or Steelers or Colts. (sooooo tired of them). Dare I say I may cheer for the Cheifs to represent the AFC west.

December 29th, 2010 at 12:55 pm
I just don’t get the hate on the ST this year.
Yes the AZ game started and ended with a disaster (we did recover TWO fumbled punts that day though) and the entire Jax game was a disaster and cost us the game.
But on the flip side, the KC game we had a KO TD to start the 2nd half, than forced and recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. Seabass made two tough, clutch FG’s in the rain to tie and win the game. We certainly don’t win the 1st Charger game as well with the two blocked punts.
You look at other games as well, and ST was mostly solid.
ST cost us two games, won us two games, and played well in most other games.
At worst it was a push on the year.

If the Seahawks make the playoffs they will get destroyed.
But I think the Rams at home might play the Saints a little tighter than some might think.
They played a few weeks ago in New Orleans, and the score looks worse than the game was. I believe Bradford was going in for a score in the 3rd quarter to really tighten it up, and it ended up like a 100 yard pick six.
I’m rooting for the Rams, our only other win against a playoff team other than our division winner.

I’m not even sold on him being the best QB since Gannon, and of course that seems to be the company line now. LOL. You can just tell by the people who are saying it. We’re a running team, and we’ve succeeded with the run. That’s helped Campbell’s rating. I don’t think he’s better than Gradkowski. I don’t even know that he’s better than Kerry Collins. But if they want to keep saying it and basing it on a couple of stats to back it up, more power to them.
December 29th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Campbell is NOT better than Gradkowski or Collins PERIOD. All three SUCK. We need Kolb or Carson Palmer.
December 29th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
Janikowski just fell apart in the desert, but when else has he really faltered?
He was money in the KC game.
Both our kick returns and kick coverage return averages where in the top half of the league, and that doesn’t account for Seabass still at the top of the league in touchbacks. And Shane made the Pro Bowl again.
Just two bad games, and punt returns. Your not going to have special teams perfection for 16 games.

Anyway, he was upset at being taken in the 2nd rd by the Raiders when he had been under the impression that he would be taken in the 1st rd. Gruden told him the owner wanted the kicker.

He’s still capable. But a game winner he’s not. I’d give him a choice between taking a cut down to the median NFL kicker salary, or a bus ticket.

We need a QB, Safeties, Center, RT, LB, and 1 DB

=====================================================
Considering the revolving door of Raider QBs…not sure that #2 rating means much…..Stabler the only QB to play for a significant amount of time

If stats are to be used to determine that Jason Campbell is the best Raiders QB since Gannon, then why shouldn’t they be used to determine that Rich Gannon is the 2nd best passer in Raiders history? Because that’s what the numbers say.

Reasons the Queefs are going to the playoffs and not the Raiders.
1) Their OLine is better.
2) Running Game – DMac is as good as Charles but they got more from Jones than we got from Bush and they were able to run more consistently. This has alot to do with #1.
3) Legit goto WR – we have nothing to compare to what Bowe is doing over there.
4) Run D is much better – 30-40 yds a game better plus don’t give up the big play.
Cable will be back. The marching orders are obvious. Go to work in the offseason and focus on Run D upgrades (LB’s especially), a true #1 WR, and make Oline upgrade the #1 priority. Gallery, Carlisle, Walker gone as starters. Replace with BCampbell at RT + 2 new starting guards. Make a splash in the offseason and sign a pro bowl caliber Guard and draft an instant starter in round 3 to go with our young guys. Satelle is serviceable.

Here the Chiefs were dreading this game all year, considering what happened the last time they played us. But leave it to the Raiders to blow a couple of games they should have won, and now the Chiefs get a free pass. The story of Al Davis’s life.

jerry porter sucked, and it had nothing to do with how he was drafted..sebastian janokowski best raiders kicker ever. hall of fame career. do you think he should make every kick?

I see Woodson and D.Hall both made the Pro Bowl. Hall was beyond awful against Denver but I still find it hard to believe that with millions of dollars and a couple of draft picks involved we gave up on him so quickly. If nothing else, with his tackling ability and ball hawking he could have been the best nickel back in the league.
December 29th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
we have many things to fix, the kicking game isn’t one
December 29th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
By the way, why all the hate on Jano. He didn’t draft himself in the 1st and who cares about his salary, Al pays it, not us. It would also be very easy to make the point that with the exception of Asomugha,and possibly McFadden, he’s the best 1st round pick the Raiders had this century. Of the 31 1st round picks that year there’s only 6-7 of them left in the league so the return on that investment isn’t that bad after all.
December 29th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
jano is worth every bit of that first round pick, and he is still at the top of his game…59 yards on a cold, rainy heavy air day from a mud puddle,,and he had room to spare..dude is money.. you can spin it any way you want
December 29th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
I think ppl get frustrated that Jano is the highest paid kicker. Esp when he is mediocre at best in the clutch and his kickoffs are getting shorter by the day.
Look at the Mia, Jax, Ariz and yes even the Colts game, how big would the kick before the half have been? JC drove us into FG range to see Jano miss it when it could have totally changed the game esp toward the end.
But if you like meaningless long FGs once and a while and high scoring out of a kicker who can’t help you win games than Jano is 1st round talent
December 29th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Truth is this is a QB starved league, great QB’s aren’t walking the street with nothing to do. You have to be in the right place st the right time and even then the guy may not pan out. IMO JC is already in the top half of the league. I’d bet that most in here wohuld consider Eli Manning a great QB because they won a SB. Well IMO if JC had the same team and system around him as long he’d probabaly be better.
I was somewhat impressed with his lastr outting and it wasn’t anything worth wrting home about in fact it was rather ordinary. Buyt what he did is kept us in it by not turning the ball over and causeing the game to get out of control. If we scould’ve broke a few tackles or big gains we could’ve won. The Indy defense tackled better than we did and won that game.
The RB’s weren’t special at all but they got and extra 5 yards almost everytime on bad tackling. On the other hand they got our guys on the ground. We went away from the run much faster than we shguld as usual with 17 carries for 2 great backs in a tight game. When you take the ball out of those two HB hands and start throwing you better hit on some big plays because they are your bread and butter. We just seem to think we have Lerry Fitzgerald at WR as well Roddy White. It’s DUMB IMO to go away from your best players and try to win. But we do it consistently.
Our record is 7-8 and I gaurantee you those 7 wins we ran at least 35x’s each game. The loses we average less than 20 between those two HB’s. Which begs the question WHY??????
December 29th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
priest, i agree, jc is not one of the things we need to fix now..nor is jano. i think we can fond what we need in the draft, except for a vet wr..
December 30th, 2010 at 9:08 am
The problem is Seabass makes 1 great kick and then falters. In Arizona he missed 3 the last one killed us. That game alone would have kept us with a fighting shot at the playoffs against the Colts. Then his horrible kickoff after Mcfadden scores a Touchdown in Jacksonville. Jano has one games for us but it is the inconsiticy that kills us.
As for the offseason We need to bring in Mankins, and draft a good Guard. Shift Mario to Right Tackle. Could be a special line. On D we need OLB that Howrd falled to be, and we need to figure out the safety situation, rid the contract of Chris Johnson & figure out what the heck is wrong with Stnaford Routt.
