Jackson wasn’t interview subject
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, January 10th, 2011 at 7:28 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Hue Jackson may have the advantage when it comes to being the Raiders next head coach, but not enough to be the first candidate interviewed.
The Raiders confirmed they had begun the process of replacing Tom Cable Monday, but beat writer Steve Corkran is reporting Jackson did not interview, citing a source close to Jackson.
That doesn’t mean Jackson won’t be interviewed or won’t be the head coach, of course. But if Al Davis is considering leaving Jackson as the offensive coordinator and hiring another head coach, it opens up the possibility of a coach with a defensive background being under consideration while leaving the offense to Jackson.
This is strictly speculation, but keep the name Rob Ryan in mind. His status is tenuous at best in Cleveland with Eric Mangini out, he’s interviewed for the job before with Davis and made sure not to burn any bridges when he left after his contract expired.
Although Ryan’s defenses weren’t particularly successful, players on both sides of the ball loved him. And while that may not be a big criteria for Davis, it could go a long way toward making a lot of players who were upset over Cable’s departure feel better about a change.
Like Nnamdi Asomugha, for instance.

Big mistake, if Ryan is really being considered. Continuity is huge, and that means Hue
January 10th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
There are more than one HC candidates out there. Al will make a good choice.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Rob Ryan no!!!
January 10th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Oh hell no!
January 10th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Rob Ryan is an ss kissing idiot.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:34 pm
“Although his defenses weren’t particularly successful”
That’s an understatement!
January 10th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Actually,
That wouldn’t surprise me one bit. If Hue wasn’t given the HC job, Rob Ryan would seemingly be the next logical choice.
He seemed to leave on good terms. Obviously Davis was fond of him.
Would Hue be content to stay on as OC if passed over for the HC gig? I guess he’d still be under contract.
Interesting.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
hahahahahaha I told you sooo a few days ago. Rob Ryan was and still is my pick Plunket!!!
January 10th, 2011 at 7:38 pm
Jason Lacanfora reports the Gilbride is being considered. So the same old losers
January 10th, 2011 at 7:39 pm
Al could come out looking like a genius here. He dawdles long enough that the other jobs are filled, hires someone else as HC, and then Hue is stuck cuz Al doesnt have to let him interview for an OC position. Lets see how this develops
January 10th, 2011 at 7:42 pm
RR is a HUGE (literally and figuratively) Al Davis Company man…and he doesn’t have to be the greatest D-Coordinator ever to be a valid HC candidate for any team.
Personality and charisma have a lot to do with the HC of a team…and RR’s got enough of those, for sure. Hopefully there’s a lot of substance to go with those other traits.
Whomever becomes the new HC of the Raiders, he MUST be well-liked and respected by the players…or this team will disintegrate from the inside-out.
Al’s doing it right…and by letting Cable go early, he at least made his intentions (and displeasure) known in a timely manner. It’s time to move on, and to get ready for a Playoff drive.
Signing free agents, our own or otherwise, is going to be a lot smoother by having a set coaching staff in place.

Pure speculation on the part of someone who feels pressure to throw a name out there.
It’s something that no one can dispute if it turns out to be someone else. He’s reaching for straws.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:45 pm
Success as DC of the Raiders has alot to do with the players you are dealt, because the scheme is already decided. To to bottom, those were some awful Raider teams talent-wise. He has fared pretty well as DC in Cleveland, didnt they beat NO and NE this year?
January 10th, 2011 at 7:45 pm
Sorry Aig. I meant to copy and paste something else. Woops.

DJ,
I was speculating a few days ago for fun that RR will prob get the job. I dont think it is far fetched to hear him being interviewed. RR is a huge AD guy.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:50 pm
Cowher and Gruden are busy battling for Al’s attention as we speak.
Also under consideration: Dave Loos-Head Basketball coach at Austin Peay.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:51 pm
RR’s Defenses could fashion the occasional signature “big” win here, too…but he never put together a great D, and those “big” wins didn’t mean a whole lot. Yes, he had to play with the players he was dealt…but, he could’ve played them differently, too.
RRyan never showed me he was an elite or imaginative DC, but I never thought he WASN’T a candidate for HC (not only for the Raiders).
January 10th, 2011 at 7:52 pm
no worries DJ I know you’re a good guy on here.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:54 pm
I’m pretty sure #90 Fairley is going to be the number 1. Dude is a beast. Dirty mean nasty beast.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:55 pm
If Rob Ryan can attract some free agents to Oakland, I don’t see why not. The Raiders might be better off keeping Hue as the OC for now anyway.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:55 pm
maybe rex gave rob his defensive playbook.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
HD37…from prev post…I hear ya on Nashville. Heard lots of good things from there. Unfortunately my wife wants nothing to do with travelling up there. She prefers to head down to New Orleans.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:57 pm
Rex prob took all the good genes.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:58 pm
The Raiders would still be running Al’s defense anyway.
I’m not so sure that John Marshall isn’t the best option out there for the Raiders’ DC job anyway. Not really sure who else is out there who would fit the bill.

Yes. Like the article said, RR was careful he didn’t burn any bridges. Our defense was so bad that I was siding with Kiffin on getting rid of Rob. He had that darn “play not to lose” defensive scheme.
I remember a game against Cleveland and Derek Andersen had the ball at their own 6 yd. line and I told my wife “I guarnatee you that they will get in FG range”. There was like 50 secs. left in the game at the time and I just KNEW Rob Ryans D would let them fly don the field in short order. They did, but missed the FG by the grace of all that is good.
January 10th, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Ryan couldn’t be any worse than Cable, same rah rah type of guy that is a players coach and would have their unflinching loyalty. Has the advantage of working closely with Al Davis before and has some actual x’s and o’s knowledge. Would no doubt please Asomuhgha (though I wouldn’t be against letting him walk if demands too much money in favor of a guy like Joseph or Cromartie) Huff, and Routt.

January 10th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
D-Rac,
the media talked about Cam saving their season against Bama but to me it was Fairley. He stopped them cold twice in the first half in his own redzone. That was key to the game being blown out or keeping it within range.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
With Rob as HC and Jackson at OC we maintain continuity and don’t have to worry about the danger of piling too much on a rookie HC in Hue.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
rob ryan would open rhe door too j.russells return
January 10th, 2011 at 8:03 pm
Sorry to disagree with Mr. Davis but Rob Ryan is the last thing the Raiders need. I wouldn’t hire this loser to shine my boots.
This hire would be a great setback.
I thought that Mr. Davis was not really sold on HueJax, but I thought that he was looking at a more established head coach like John Fox, but apparently Fox is heading to the donks.If he is looking at Ryan, Rivera would have been miles better.

I like Cromartie, he is a good press corner….people say Samuel can’t tackle either, but the guy makes plays. Cromartie is long, fast, can cover, and fights for int’s

I know I do, but if he is the HC and NOT DC, then maybe we won’t see that stuff.
I like his fiery attitude though. If the players love him and Hue stays as OC, then who knows how this might be.
Ryan’s only been gone 2 years so it’s almost like he never left. I have heard that the players love him. Only thing is that he is not much different than Cable that I can tell.
It’s all speculation at this point of course.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
Think Chip Kelly gambled 1 too many times there. 3 points would have been pretty important
January 10th, 2011 at 8:10 pm
I also think RR would make a better HC then DC. The guys do love him.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:10 pm
why in the f’k would anyone hire rob ryan?
January 10th, 2011 at 8:11 pm
Rob Ryan is a defensive mastermind, for two game-plans a season. He will absolutely shut down two teams a year. I’d rather have 6-0 Cable….
What’s up with all the New Orleans talk? Yep, no place like it in America.

Cable will likely not get a coordinator job elsewhere in the NFL, mishandled his QB situation, and didn’t get Bruce Campbell on the field.

//////////////////////////////////////
Why hire him automatically and over extend the guy like Cable did himself the previous year ??? Especially when Hue had never been a playcalling OC anywhere else before last year. Bring in a defensive minded HC and et him overhaul the defensive staff, most of whose contracts has probably already expired. Keep the continuity on ur much improved offense and revamp ur defense that let u down so many times late in the year. Makes a lot of sense to me

Nah. Not good. If that’s the case, should have kept Cable.

Yeah, but they can shift him over. He needs to put on some weight too. What is he listed at?
January 10th, 2011 at 8:59 pm
bring him oustide. On that fumble he was on the outside and ran all the way around. Gotta get that Matthews kid. Got speed and playmaking skills.

Ole Miss hires Dolphins QB coach David Lee. He was the co-architect of the Wild Hog (wildcat) at Arkansas when Ole Miss HC Houston Nutt was there with DMAC, Felix Jones and Hillis.
It’s crazy how these coaches just recycle. Auburn OC Gus Mahlzan was the OC at Arkansas while Nutt was there and left to take Tulsa job. Their QB and WR was Mitch Mustain and that Williams kid who both transferred to USC.

Would Rob Ryans girth be good for Raider Image? I’m not so sure the players could respect something that enormous. I mean, Cable is well rounded, but Ryan looks like he may be expectin.
But I guess its all about sack lickin, no need to be a physical speciman as a coach.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:48 pm
Huff’s right. Remember VY in that Rose Bowl over USC. Superlative performance. Newton is good and has a better arm, but I’ll take Vince over Cam any day.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:49 pm
Like the guy but…he’s not a good coach in this era!
January 10th, 2011 at 9:51 pm
I always thought Rob was pretty cool and if you were to envision what the coach of the Raiders should look like he’s just about it, but his defenses always sucked and he always trotted out the prevent ridiculously early (with like 4-5 minutes left in the game) and his defenses would always go down in flames.
I wonder if he’d make a better head coach than coordinator though. Motivate, oversee things, manage people, deal with the media, etc.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:53 pm

yeah I do remember them talking about David Lee in Mia and his roots back to Ark. We know why Mia was good with the wildcat for a while. Anyways, I regret ever following Ole Miss. When I moved down here, I wanted to root for a local team but Ole Miss is all about them snooty white folks. Given a choice, I’d rather take the lousy Memphis Tigers. Can’t stand them Vols either. I feel dumb for even buying Ole Miss gears.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:55 pm
He’s a little smallish and he wasn’t used enough tonight, but LaMichael James reminds me a lot of LT. I think the guy is going to be an excellent pro back.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:55 pm
Ryans prevent D prevented the D from stopping the opposition. Prevent D means playing not to lose.
At least Marshall at times, vs SD for example, played to win. Like that agout him. Half the season he was a really good coach, like Hue and Tom. Well, more than half. Jani tips the scale here. Probably tipped a few the night in Az. too.

Al Davis has always been an innovator. A champion of equal rights, womens rights, the last stop for many a player in the NFL, only to go onto title games and championships. So Al, why not hire this woman for your new HC. Be the first, again. It go to every home game and fly to all the away games too, including pre-season.

January 10th, 2011 at 10:48 pm
Gallery, Routt and Huff will be re-signed. The Raiders value them more than any other team, so they’ll pay more.
Howard is a fast LB with lousy fundamentals. If he leaves, they can find someone else just as effective.
Satele is a mediocre center. Stefan Wisniewski would be a big improvement.
Bush is a big RB who doesn’t move the pile nearly enough for someone of his size. His refusal to play FB a few years back still rankles. I’d like him to stay, but it won’t be the end of the world if he walks.
Zach and Seymour can be hopefully kept by opening the wallet for one, and franchising the other.
Aso’s fate will depend entirely on whether he likes the new HC, and feels he can win games here.

I am Al Davis and I approve this message.
January 11th, 2011 at 12:44 am
Mike Lombardi thinks Marc Trestman is a good chance for HC candidate.
Says something that resembles what happened with Cable’s hire. How currently Jackson is ringing coaches around the league, trying to present to Al what his projected staff would be. And Al will probably be doing the same with other HC candidates, like say Rob Ryan and Marc Trestman. Getting them to present a projected staff to Al. And then Al will decide.
Same thing happened with Tom and that unnamed “other” candidate last season (Gilbride).
Might not all be true, but it’s a valid argument.

I was speculating on Rob Ryan a week ago simply because his buddy Mangini lost his job in Cleveland.
However, I was just joking and trying to think of ways that Al could screw it up.
January 11th, 2011 at 1:13 am
Rob Ryan? LOL…This $hit gets better by the day!
January 11th, 2011 at 1:15 am
Actually Rob Ryan and Tom Cable have a lot in common:
-Ryan wasn’t much of a defensive play caller.
-Cable wasn’t much of an offensive play caller.
-Ryan had the support of the players.
-Cable had the support of the players.
-Ryan had a good relationship with Al.
-Cable had a good relationship with Al.
Hiring Ryan over Cable would be like hiring tweedledum over tweedledee although Cable changed the loser attitude in the clubhouse and had them fighting to win.
Still though it would be much of big step sidewaus.
Hard to believe.
If the Raiders are floating his name out there then it might well be to get people to stop talking about Cable since many would prefer Hue.

Media like to spin the fact Raiders not releasing names is another sign of secrecy and weirdness when in fact NO teams ever reveal the names of interviewees unless it becomes common knowledge as a result of an agent leak or other means and they feel they have to address it.
The “weird” thing would be if the Raiders DID divulge.

I’m sure Hue Jackson is going to love having Rob Ryan picked as his DC and “assistant Head Coach”.
Hue Jackson knows what happens to the HC under those type of situations.
Hue is trying to scramble to assemble a staff, so he can tell Al who he will bring in if hired.

I know that Oregon coach is supposed to be this fun, electric guy, but I think he blew last nights game.
It was obvious that stupid zone-read thing wasn’t going to work after the first series when they tried it twice and got blown up.
Yet he kept doing it, even in crucial situations. Does he not have any other plays to get the ball to LaMichael James??

Not to mention Auburns corner is notorious for getting burned down the middle (as evidenced by the 81 yard play in the second). I think they were too stubborn with the run (not surprising from a team whos starter averaged 150 a game)

January 11th, 2011 at 5:54 am
HUE JACKSON=NORV TURNER..GOOD 2 GREAT O.C..HEAD COACH ???
January 11th, 2011 at 5:57 am
Fascinated at the dynamics at play here.
Both Lombardi and Tafur have reported that Jackson is starting to assemble a staff, at least in a preliminary manner.
Meanwhile, the Raiders have begun to interview candidates…but not the one everyone is pretty sure will get the job.
Jackson is either supremely confident that he will get the job or is trying to be proactive and get the drop on things in event he does get it.
Why wouldn’t Davis interview Hue first? Maybe he remembers the dismal offensive performances in Arizona, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Miami.
My guess: Davis is trying to put pressure on Hue by making him think he’s not a shoo-in for the job and thus try to make him be willing to accept less.
January 11th, 2011 at 5:58 am
Good Morning Dirt Lot! Could it be possible that with the talent on this team that Hue can be a better HC then Norvell?
Ahhh, maybe not…but we’ll see…

can’t influence anything, so why bother.
Just wondering how long any “interviews” with Al actually take. I’d say about 5 minutes. Then Al has explained to the prospect how he wants things to be run and how much he’s willing to pay, and will close the “meeting” by saying “Now go and think about it and call me tomorrow”… really simple….

That was the sixth-most points scored in a season in franchise history and more than doubled the 2009 scoring output.

We might as well replicate what KC has been doing in the draft , majority of picks from SEC! I know they like to draft kids primarily from the southwest or west coast for easier access to off season workouts but the best NFL players always come from the SEC!

Without Hue Jackson the Raiders O scored 197 points, 32nd in the league, with Hue the O scored 410 points 6th in the league. And people are mad we got rid of the cable guy! Its clear to me why we got rid of him
January 11th, 2011 at 7:37 am
We averaged 12.3 points a game with Cable in charge of the offense. We averaged 25.6 points a game with Hue, and dont tell me its all Jamarcus’ fault, he only started 6 games in 09
January 11th, 2011 at 7:39 am
I know, I wa watching the interviews last night…Farley was hard to understand but that RB was very hard to understand. Sounded like that guy from the Waterboy!

I’m on board with Rob Ryan as HC. Said so last year when I thought Cable would be fired.
Would certainly rather have him than Gilbride.

I guess I’m just biased against him, he took a lot of cheap shots on QBs this year , I saw him purposely hit Georgia’s QB late to hurt the kid! And last night while on national TV he was on the stage hollering “My *IGGA” , you can take the kid outta the hood but not the hood outta the kid!

Wasn’t Warren Sapp our NT when RR tried the 3-4 here? I remember him trying it with very bad results. I don’t think we had anywhere near the right personnel for it. Another reason RR should stsay away, far away.
January 11th, 2011 at 7:58 am
I think John Henderson could be a NT in a 3-4. I also think we have the players to be a good zone coverage team. 2 things that won’t happen under Als sundial.
January 11th, 2011 at 7:59 am
Ryan!!!!
You people need better drugs!
January 11th, 2011 at 7:59 am
The only reason Al would want Rob Ryan is because Marshall kept arguing with him on defense, wanting to blitz a lot, look at how much we blitzed under Marshall compared to Ryan.
Marshall still failed tho. So did Ryan before. In regards to improving our defense. Our D has been in the bottom 10 overall in rankings for the last decade pretty much.
January 11th, 2011 at 8:00 am
Nnamdi must be sitting back watching his buddy Woodson thrive in GB. Watching him play in playoff games. Watching him utilized to be a play maker, which Woodson never was in Oakland.
He has to be sitting there thinking “You know, I wonder what I could do in a flexible defense?”
I think he is gone.
FUK!
January 11th, 2011 at 8:01 am
1. John Henderson is good for 15 plays a game Max
2. We do NOT have the personal to effectively run a Zone Defense, if you need evidence, look at the first SD game this year. Malcolm Floyd torched our zone for 200 yards! We have drafted DBs for years based on their ability to run man2man all game. Cant change our philosophy in one offseason

January 11th, 2011 at 8:04 am
My argument against Ryan is basically just “been there done that”.
Find a young defensive-minded coach who will grow in the role.
The best teams in the NFL for the last 10 years have a couple things in common.
1. They have a genuine franchise QB
2. They have a group of position coaches, but especially co-ordinators that have stayed together.

I think John Henderson could be a NT in a 3-4. I also think we have the players to be a good zone coverage team. 2 things that won’t happen under Als sundial.
++++++++++
Exactly. If Al only gave Ryan one token shot at running the 3-4 when he was here for 4 or 5 seasons, then why would he let him come back and install a 3-4?
I just don’t see that happening.

If Amy Trask had her way, Bcz24, we’d have had Belichick. However, Al would’ve neutered him, wouldn’t have been given the leeway to BECOME the mastermind genius.
One thing I like about Belichick’s way is that he has a Jeet Kune Do football philosophy almost. A system of no system.

2. We do NOT have the personal to effectively run a Zone Defense, if you need evidence, look at the first SD game this year. Malcolm Floyd torched our zone for 200 yards! We have drafted DBs for years based on their ability to run man2man all game. Cant change our philosophy in one offseason

Henderson played a lot more than that with Rich out.
I played defense and as a corner, learning zone doesn’t have to be that difficult. Depends on who’s coaching it.

Sounds interesting. On the Beach is a story about people living in Australia awaiting a slow death by radiation poisoning after a nuclear war had devastated the northern hemisphere.

January 11th, 2011 at 8:35 am
The ideas brought forward in On the Beach remind me a little bit of the Raider Nation.
How do people deal with a slow death? Or a slow death of a team?
Some Raider fans are in denial, some hold out hope, some get depressed and melancholy, some people sit back and enjoy the show knowing that it is beyond their control.
I think that at one time or another over the past 8 years I have suffered through all those emotions when it comes to the Raiders.

Lombardi thinks Trestman is a chance for HC too.
Imo, the OC or HC Al will want is someone who can deliver a potent vertical passing game.
Why McDaniels might interest him because early on the Broncos were putting up big numbers.
Why I think Al should consider Mike Leach.
January 11th, 2011 at 8:44 am

I think Al is out fishing in San Francisco Bay – a classic scene from On the Beach. The guy just wanted to get home (.i.e. the Super Bowk) so badly that certain death was preferable to not being able to do it his way.
January 11th, 2011 at 8:44 am
O,
RR being Cable is kinda why he gets the nod over those other guys. All that “love” that was lost when Cable got the boot would be right back, so to speak. Huff, Nnamdi, Miller, Gallery and those guys would certainly lose that I’m leaving because I don’t know the next HC excuse.
Let’s see who the DC is IF he gets the job. Doubt the prevent defense will be why we win or lose games.
January 11th, 2011 at 8:46 am
Trestman would be a good choice.
January 11th, 2011 at 8:47 am
Let’s hire a bigger Al Davis puppet than Cable (Rob Ryan) who may not even be a better HC, piss off Hue in the meantime, and have total dysfunction through our coaching ranks.
Hue is trying to assemble a staff to present it to Al. Al will go over the staff and make adjustments as deemed fit, and again, dysfunction throughout the organization.
Cable may have been a buffoon, and not an X’s and O’s guy, but we were moving in the right direction.
Hiring Rob Ryan with little imput from Hue, is not the right direction.
January 11th, 2011 at 8:48 am
Wonder if he was interviewing Josh McDaniels for the OC job, and is gonna give the HC to Hue?
January 11th, 2011 at 8:49 am
The essence of Rob Ryan’s “brilliance” is when at the end of the Browns game a few years ago, he dropped all 11 in coverage, and still gave up a 8 yard completion that also went out of bounds.
The D played like he just made it up on the sidelines.
No to Rob Ryan!!!!!!
January 11th, 2011 at 8:49 am

Like i said in a much earlier post, about what Lombardi reported on NFLN. It seems like Al is doing the same thing he did when Cable was hired.
He tells the HC candidates to go and assemble a possible staff, and present them to him, then he’ll assess and choose one.
January 11th, 2011 at 8:52 am
I wouldnt be opposed to bringing back Trestman at all. I think he is a very good coach. Very cerebral, combine him with Hue’s intensity and enthusiasm and I think you create an awefully dangerous combo…
January 11th, 2011 at 8:54 am
Based just on rumors reported.
It would seem some likely candidates would be…
Jackson – HC or OC
Ryan – DC + Asst HC
Trestman – HC or OC
McDaniels – OC
Gilbride – HC

Players get paid to play! Period!! They know as much as you & me about ORGs & management. That includes hiring/ firing HC.

there’s the three See No Evil Speak No Evil Hear No Evil monkeys (originally there was a fourth monkey posed with its paws covering its crotch but that was deemed too suggestive)
there’s the Twelve Monkeys, a film about insanity and annihilation,
there’s the Buddhist imagery of the human ego-mind depicted as a monkey jumping around in a windowless, doorless illusory room,
somehow if all these things are combined the correct monkey could emerge and there’s your new HC.

I remember (I think it was Tom Bradys first full year as a QB) when Belicheck traded Milloy to the Bills right before the season started. It was all over the place the the team HATED Belichick for this move and wouldnt play for him and they quietly went 14-2 and won the SuperBowl.

Hue fancies himself as an up and coming OC/HC guy, and I’m sure he doesn’t like the idea of being on the last year of his contract in 2011 in Oakland under Rob Ryan.
He will be checking off the days until that contract is up and he can get a better gig.
January 11th, 2011 at 9:03 am
I havent seen anything about McDaniels being brought in. I would be nervous about that personally. I dont like him very much.
January 11th, 2011 at 9:04 am

Ryan’s familiarity with Davis and the Raiders could serve as a positive. He served as the team’s linebackers coach from 2004-08.

My preseason pick of the Ravens is still looking plausible… unfortunately I dont think anyone is going to knock the Patsies off up in Boston. I like Green Bay in the NFC though. I think Atlanta is a more complete offense, but that Packer D is pretty solid right now.

Start spreading the news…………
The New York Daily News’ Manish Mehta reports that the Jets are unlikely to pursue free agent Nnamdi Asomugha this offseason and instead will focus on re-signing their own players.
One of those Jets not under contract is Antonio Cromartie, who obviously would not be brought back if they went after Asomugha. Former Raiders beat writer David White reported Monday that Asomugha, whose contract was voided Sunday, would likely end up with the Jets or Packers. The Jets’ front office can be unpredictable, but it sounds like Asomugha might be a longshot.

This guy is the biggest BS artist in the league who rarely backs it up. A disaster in the making if Al is serious, but I suspect he would just pick Ryan’s brain.

McDaniels’ is an intriguing figure. He reminds me of a young Gruden. Really smart guy but just had too much responsiblity with Denver. That wouldnt be a problem here.
….at the end of the day Im rooting for Hue.
January 11th, 2011 at 9:35 am
raidertay,
Josh-boy is certifiably insane. People in the know have said that McDaniels’ believes, truly believes that he and he alone created Tom Brady as a QB.
Players had already tuned out Josh-boy and then his ten minutes of screaming at all the other coaches in front of Bowlen in the aftermath of the 59-14 buttkicking by the Raiders ’caused the rest of the organization to tune him out as well.
That’s not just in over his head, he is a fruitcake in a cut-sleeve hoodie.
January 11th, 2011 at 9:41 am
I’d rather have Ryan as HC than as DC. If it’s down to Ryan and Marshall, I’ll take Marshall any day of the week. At least he knows the first thing about the scheme that Al Davis wants the defense to play.

Have you noticed more circumspect language from Rush Limbaugh since the Tucson killings?
January 11th, 2011 at 10:32 am
Why is Rex any better than Rob?
Because he had that Baltimore defensive roster instead of Sapp, Thomas Howard, Morrison, and Travian Smith?
January 11th, 2011 at 10:33 am
RR as HC
Mangini as DC
McDaniel as OC
Wouldnt that be something? You can never put this past Al.

Coaches with god talent usually are successful, wouldn’t you say?
Rex had a lot of talent on that Baltimore defense, right?
Pretty talented roster he has in NY right now, right?
I think our defensive talent is much better than when Rob was last here. Outside of a “big name” coach, I don’t see much difference between Ryan and the Gilbride’s of the world.
Rob Ryan for HC!

If Hue is promoted to HC, then I’m sure he will receive plenty of input and assistance with setting up and calling plays from Hackett and Tollner.
Hue would remain the play caller of course though.
Hackett and Tollner are good assistants in that way.

Hue Jackson is lining up a staff
Posted by Mike Florio on January 11, 2011, 1:46 PM EST
On Monday, the Raiders said that they have begun the process of hiring a new head coach.
Today, Vittorio Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that offensive coordinator Hue Jackson is working to compile his staff. But the fact that Jackson is lining up potential staff members doesn’t necessarily mean he’s getting the job.
It’s common for head-coaching candidates to take steps to get a potential staff in place before a formal interview. In Jackson’s case, it will allow him to show up for his inevitable meeting with owner Al Davis prepared to set for a clear plan for the immediate future.
Hired last year to be the offensive coordinator, Jackson is expected to get the job. Barring a major upset he will. The fact that he’s making calls to potential assistant coaches doesn’t mean that he’s secretly been promoted.
Then again, there’s technically a chance that he has been.
……..
Who do you guys think he may be contacting?
January 11th, 2011 at 10:55 am
Should have just kept the bowling shirt guy around.
This is not turning out so hot.
Love that Hue has to show Al who he can gather as his coaching staff.
That must be a great call.
Hue, “Hey can I put you down as one of my staffers if I got the gig in Oakland? No guarantee Al will accept you, he will probably give you only a two year contract, and if I get a better job in 2012, you probably can’t come with me, until your contract is up. So can I put you down. Hello?? Hello?”
January 11th, 2011 at 10:56 am
Old Man Al and Herrera don’t want to release the names being interviewed because they know the Raider Nation will be PISSED to here the old man is actually wasting time in talking to clowns like Fassell, Gilbride and Rob The Slob Ryan!

January 11th, 2011 at 11:01 am
Why is Rex any better than Rob?
***
Jhill is exactly right. these guys are equals imo
both defensive minds. both fat slobs. neither are really X’s and O’s guys. players love them. media eats up their brash behavior and classic one-liners. basically blue collar rah rah guys like Tom Cable that make the players accountable and put them to WORK
Cable wasn’t retained because he didn’t win enough ballgames. He (like Hue & Rob) wasn’t qualified to be an NFL HC. neither was Lane Kiffin. Art Shell & Tom Walsh were WAY out of touch. Al Davis doesn’t care about that. He cares about wins & losses, period
if Rob gets an interview and impresses Al Davis, he’ll be the next Head Coach, regardless of what he has or hasn’t done in the past … Print That

Was Cam Newton even excited he won last night??
He was just sulking the whole time because of his fumble, and he didn’t even have any teammates around celebrating with him or nothing.
Seemed very “distant” from it all.
Also, the physical tools are there, but he is such a project. Just like Tebow, he is not going to be able to convert every 3rd and 3 by taking a shotgun snap and just push the pile for 3-4 yards in the NFL.
Also, a one read QB, just like Mallett. Almost every play is designed to go to one guy, pre-snap, and they are throwing it to him, even if he is double-covered.
I don’t see him being ready, if ever, for a couple of years, and Al doesn’t have that type of patience, nor should any coach Al hires.
Pass on Scam Newton.

You could add Pat Devlin to that list. I watched the Delaware game just to see what all the ruckus was about. Maybe he’s getting talked up because Joe Flacco came from there, I don’t know, but Devlin looks like a good-sized high school QB and if he has a good arm it certainly wasn’t on display in the game I saw.
If people are talking him up and Jake Locker is considered a first-rounder then it must be a pretty lean year for quarterbacks.

why Ryan? why not? we haven’t had a defensive HC in a long time and Ryan wouldn’t be trying to juggle multiple jobs as a play caller like Hue would be asked to do. Ryan coached under Al Davis for 5 years! Hue Jax only 1 year, even Kiffin lasted that long before applying elsewhere

Weren’t you one of the many calling for Ryan’s head while he was here as DC? If you didn’t think he could handle that job, what makes you think he can be a HC?
Rob Ryan was known for his tendency to tuck tail into a prevent D in the 4th quarter (cost Kiffin his job in 07), for pizza parties, and for no player accountability.
Doesn’t exactly scream HC material to me.
Hue Jackson seems to be a stand up guy. Pretty hard on himself. Well spoken. Seemed to have a great rapport with players on both sides of the ball during training camp.
I’ll take a chance on Hue over another cave man type like Rob fkn Ryan.

January 11th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Jackson building staff?
The Raiders have started the interview process … for assistant coaches. Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, who the Chronicle reported last Tuesday would be named head coach, has called assistants around the league who he might want on his staff, two league sources said Monday.
Oakland owner Al Davis chose not to pick up the option on former coach Tom Cable’s contract after an 8-8 season, informing Cable Tuesday night. While Jackson has not formally interviewed for the head coaching job since then, he did sit down at length with Davis last offseason.
Davis hired Jackson, handed him the play-calling duties from Cable and watched the Raiders score more than twice as many points (410-197) in 2010 as it did in 2009. Jackson already is under contract for next season as an assistant. He interviewed for the San Francisco job last week before the 49ers hired Jim Harbaugh, but Jackson is not a candidate for the other three remaining head-coach openings in the NFL.
Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who was with the Raiders from 2004-08, could be a candidate to potentially replace Raiders defensive coordinator John Marshall, with the added title of assistant head coach.

‘Sup fellas.
Anybody see the lil item on NFLN about former vp of Officiating Mike Periera and the tuck rule?
After the Brady fumble the guy spent years defending that rule until he was blue in the face.
After it was called again last weekend in KC, now Mike doesn’t like it after all. He wants the rule interpretation changed where it’s only an incomplete pass if the ball is indeed actually passed…forward.
As opposed to the end of a pump fake where the nose of the ball is pointed straight at the ground , with a second hand patting the ball.
Unbelievable. A little late to the party isn’t he?

“The newspaper reports that Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who spent 2004 through 2008 in Oakland, might be on his way back to the Raiders as defensive coordinator/assistant head coach. John Marshall was the Raiders’ defensive coordinator under former coach Tom Cable, who wasn’t retained after an 8-8 season.”

I would rather see Hue hire John Fox as his defensive coordinator if they want to replace Marshall.
Bringing Rob The Slob back would be weird. The defense will probably regress under him.
Hue needs to hire another another WR coach and get rid of Lal and needs to evaluate young Fassell.
Even though the way Ford played probably saved Fassell for another year.

Several times I’ve seen you, and several others mention John Fox coming back to Oakland ..either as a HC or DC.
I don’t believe that is EVER going to happen. Fox left on very bad terms. Don’t remember where I read it but Fox quit on the Raiders the week of the season opener. Raiders had to hire an emergency DC…Willie Shaw, maybe?
Al was chewing his butt out in front of the whole team about the defense’s performance during the peseason. Fox had enough and basically told Davis to go F himself and coach the Defense himself. Quit on the spot. With the seson opener less than a week away.
I believe Fox also told his friend Sean Payton to pass on the Oakland HC gig as well.
I think it’ll be a cold day in Hell before John Fox will ever be a member of the Raider organization again. And the feeling is probably mutual.

He also racked up 151 catches (most ever for an Oregon State running back) and 1,056 receiving yards. He scored 51 total touchdowns, giving him 306 career points scored (third in Oregon State history

January 11th, 2011 at 4:21 pm
M,
I don’t know if that’s the best you can say about Tom Cable, honestly. I’d say he took over the Oakland Raiders at their lowest point…after the nasty Al Davis/Young Lance divorce, inheriting the franchise #1 pick QB with his enormous contract and apparent substance abuse/ lethargy issues and turned the whole sad, sordid mess around. Out were a lot of the high priced free agents who were only collecting rather large paychecks in Oaktown and in were some young, talented hard working…hard nosed FOOTBALL players like Shonasty, Houston and McClain.
I know you derisively referred to him as a cartoon caveman, but Cable had the Raiders playing some physical, hard nosed football once again.
Like I said after week 17, while most teams who were out of playoff contention got a head start on their vacation and rolled over and died like dogs…Cleveland, Buffalo, Carolina and others….Not so for Tom Cable’s Oakland Raiders. They went on the road into a hostile and cold road environment and kicked the stuffing out of the KC Chefs. Who despite what some whiners on here maintain, still had very much to play for.
That’s the best I can say for Tom cable.

Asomugha drawing interest from Philly. They would be a good fit…
According to CSN Philly’s Reuben Frank, free agent Nnamdi Asomugha is “at the top of the Eagles’ offseason priority list.”
Frank is a very reliable beat writer, but he appears to be deducing here rather than reporting. Asomugha is adamant about playing for a contender, and the Eagles have a major need opposite Asante Samuel as well as money to spend on a top tier recruit. As far as fits go, Asomugha would be an instant secondary fix for a team that is expected to contend for the Super Bowl next year.

January 11th, 2011 at 4:38 pm
Ultimately though, his team was too inconsistant, and in fact underachieved. The West was ripe for the taking and the Raiders didn’t sieze the opportunity.
That was painfully obvious watching KC vs. Oak in week 17 and then last week vs. Baltimore. Had to burn Al davis’ azz. The Raiders were the best team in the div. and proved it with their 6-0 record. Two games cost them a 10-6 record and div. championship, IMO. Arizona, if Jano makes the damn kick. And Jax, if Routt just makes that tackle. 77 yd run that should have never happened and then ensuing fumble on kickoff totally swung momentum in game Raiders were in complete control of.
Were those Cable’s fault? I don’t know. I would have liked to see him and his staff return to see if they could take the next step.
Is Hue the man to get them over the hump? Rob Ryan?
We’ll find out, I guess.
January 11th, 2011 at 4:45 pm
as history shows the HC position for the RAIDERS has never meant a mastermind behind the sheild (Other than Gruden but no one knew who the hell he was before AL hired him)all that we kneed is a motivator for the under achivers of this team all Madden and Flores did was motivate players not come up with some amazing game plan that stiffled opponents it was being a players coach who knew when 2 LET THE DOGS OUT when needed

Don’t know if this is a repost, but WOW!!!!
http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/2011/01/11/49ersraiders-update-the-harbaugh-spurning-farewell-nate-davis-talking-mcnabb-and-more/
I’m detecting stone cold fury emanating from Raiders HQ these days, all traced to the 49ers’ hiring of Jim Harbaugh.
I always expect Al Davis’ Raiders to be a little bit aggravated, but this is more than usual, though. Much more. Seems like Al feels Harbaugh may have jilted him, and Al does not like that feeling very much.
Did Al really think Harbaugh was going to ditch large bids from the 49ers, Michigan, Stanford, the Dolphins and Broncos… just to take the Raiders’ job, probably for Al’s usual salary of less than half of what the other places (even the colleges) were offering?
Maybe AD was thinking Harbaugh would come running to Oakland, just because AD was there and nowhere else. Just to be part of The Greatness. Bad presumption, proven incredibly wrong, but he’s AD.
That would explain the fury and the caustic comments to anybody who will listen from some Raiders execs about the silly music that the 49ers played at the Harbaugh intro on Friday. (Note to my buddies in the Raiders front office: Yes, the music was silly, but THIS is what you’re worried about?)
I can’t believe Al would still think his HC job is of value to anybody with other options (hello, remember Sean Payton, Josh McDaniels and all those assistants who’ve declined the chance in the recent past?).
But maybe Al thought his bond with Harbaugh–from Harbaugh’s two years on staff–would make it happen.
Once upon a time, I thought Al could’ve swooped in to hire Harbaugh, but that was two or three years ago, long before Harbaugh was the hottest commodity on the planet.
Not this time, with so many other large and well-paying teams lining up to hire Harbaugh. No chance.
In fact, when the CCT’s Cam Inman asked Harbaugh on Friday if he’d spoken to Davis recently, Harbaugh said he does speak to Al on occasion, but not at all recently.
That cannot have made the Raiders happy. When Al is not happy, he stays that way for days or weeks.
And this might delay the potential hiring of Hue Jackson even longer–because Al wants a bigger name HC to combat the hiring of Harbaugh across the Bay.
I’m not saying the 49ers are a fine and powerful organization just because they landed Harbaugh. You know I’m not saying that.
The Raiders went 8-8, the 49ers went 6-10. The Raiders have Hall of Famer Al Davis, the 49ers have Jed York. The 49ers are trying to become relevant, the Raiders are… well, who knows what the Raiders are ever doing?
But the 49ers got Harbaugh because they were offering 5 years, $25M, and with some implied personnel power, and the power to hire his own staff and pick his own QB (just like every other team would’ve offered)…
And Al hasn’t offered a head coach anything like that for decades now. He may never offer that. Still, maybe he believed he could get Harbaugh.
Note the timing of the Tom Cable dispatching, which came precisely as the 49ers were set to start negotiating with Harbaugh, and was weeks ahead of Cable’s option deadline.
I’m guessing Al thought he was going to jump in and grab Harbaugh, what a triumph, right from under the 49ers’ noses. Or at least get the chance to speak to him. Maybe Harbaugh led him on, maybe not.
But Al should’ve known better. Now he’s probably just mad, and cursing at the music.
Hope he gets over it in time to do some work hiring a coach. I eager await that press conference. I know there will be no maudlin music, though.

Subject: OIL
Here’s an interesting read, important and verifiable information :
About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and
one of
the Forbes Bros. was the guest. The host said to Forbes, “I am going to
ask
you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil
does
the U.S. have in the ground?” Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, “more
than all the Middle East put together.” Please read below.
The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only
scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a
revised report (hadn’t been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in
this
area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and
extreme
eastern Montana ….. check THIS out:
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska’s Prudhoe
Bay,
and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign
oil.
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion
barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable… at $107 a barrel,
we’re looking at a resource base worth more than $5..3 trillion.
“When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see
their
jaws hit the floor. They had no idea..” says Terry Johnson, the Montana
Legislature’s financial analyst.
“This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found
in
the past 56 years,” reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It’s a
formation
known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the
‘Bakken.’ It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and
into Canada. For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead
end. Even the ‘Big Oil’ companies gave up searching for major oil wells
decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up
the
Bakken’s massive reserves…. and we now have access of up to 500
billion
barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels
will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!
That’s enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years
straight. And if THAT didn’t throw you on the floor, then this next one
should – because it’s from 2006!
U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World
Stansberry Report Online – 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the
largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION
barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In
three
and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this
motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders,
than
all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:
- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
- 18-times as much oil as Iraq
- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait
- 22-times as much oil as Iran
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen
- and it’s all right here in the Western United States .
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the
environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America
become
independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of
people
dictate our lives and our economy…..WHY?
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we’ve got more oil in
this
very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION
barrels
untapped. That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in
the
world today, reports The Denver Post.
Don’t think ‘OPEC’ will drop its price – even with this find? Think
again!
It’s all about the competitive marketplace, – it has to. Think OPEC just
might be funding the environmentalists?
Got your attention yet? Now, while you’re thinking about it, do this:
Pass this along. If you don’t take a little time to do this, then you
should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices – by
doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you
sent
this to every one in your address book.

@860ToddChristiansen — don’t believe everything you read. http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/bakken.asp
The story has hints of truth (there is a Bakkan formation with some hard to reach oil in it) but it’s nowhere near the size stated in that joke of an article that you posted. Per the USGS survey, there are between 3 and 4.3 billion barrels potentially there. So it was only off by a factor of about 120-180 times
And that so called untapped area has already had over 100 million barrels extracted from it at the time of the Snopes article in 2009.

January 11th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Remember Rob Ryan is the king of prevent defense that scored 100% of the time on us. Can’t win with that – it sucks and is a terrible way to treat the fans and players.
Ryan = prevent defense! Just say no! Because that will have a huge barring on what AD does.
January 11th, 2011 at 6:12 pm
The Raiders sold 23,000 season tickets last year, pathetic.
Hire Rob Ryan and see what happens.

People bagged on Cable as a guy “no one else would hire as a Head Coach.”
Well, Hue and Robo are all available to be offered HC jobs. How many offers did they get?

Kell,
You mention Davis and his schemes…well why couldn’t the Raiders mix in some 3-4 defense, if they bring back Ryan. People talk like Al Davis demands a 4-3 front.
You and I talked about this briefly a couple of years ago when I mentioned the Bo MNF game vs Seattle.
Hell, throughout their glory days of the 70’s and early 80’s the Raiders were predominantly a 3-4 defense. I know RMR would say those were really just Ron Wolf’s teams. I mean when AL was in his prime 40’s and 50’s he was completely hands off. Only after he’s in his 80’s and is senile and the modern game of football has completely passed him by, does he meddle and drag down the Silver and Black, right?
Seriously though,
Now the trend is back to 3-4 fronts with all kinds of exotic pressure packages. Everybody is seemingly switching to a 3-4. Was the old man just 20 years ahead of his time?
I think the Raiders have the personel to pull it off. Seymour (assuming he’s resigned) played end in N.E.
The draft guide I have said LHouston would make an ideal 3-4 end.
Rolando played ILB at Alabama. Goethel could probably man the other ILB. Wimbley played OLB in Ryan’s 3-4 in Cleveland.
They would need to acquire a huge slab of beef to play NT. Don’t know where TKelly and ShoNasty would fit in, though. And I really like those two.
Maybe not a base defense, but a change of pace. Something else to throw at an offense. Make em think about. They sure don’t confuse anybody with their coverages, right?
January 11th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
Mr. Davis has not been this furious in a VERY long time.
I hope it helps.
January 11th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
I can see Jason Campbell the health insurance consumer.
He would be a hot prospect with all the necessary tools as a potential client (good health, plenty of money) but he would not be able to make a quick decision, and would ultimately just check down and get the most basic HMO plan, even though the better PPO was available to him and made sense.

Then Bam. One thing after another. Cable’s not renewed. Nnamdi’s contract is voided. Franchise seems to be adrift. BSPN is already started back up with the jabs and jokes. “Just the Raiders being the Raiders”.

Tuck Rule got brought up again on a forum i visit.
This is me telling it how it is to a Pats fan.
Thought I’d share.
—
It’s not just GG who has conjured a Pats conspiracy theory.
Pretty much the whole world now knows the Pats are cheats and that Brady is a baby. That Goodell burned evidence to protect his buddy Kraft. That the NFL officials are coached to help the Pats as much as possible.
The BS thing too is that the Tuck Rule was called for the first time in like 50 years in that Snow Job game. Since then the NFL has called it once every few years.
Correct call in terms of a corrupt Commissioner instructing officials to ensure the Patriots win in the midst of the 911 atrocity that had occured. The Patriots became “america’s team”, the projection of America’s hopes and dreams.
Fast forward a decade and everyone now knows the Patriots was just a machination, and a device, a fraudulent organization with collusion from the commissioner.
There’s nothing to like about such an organization. It’s not an “evil empire” at all, lmao. The Raiders were and always are evil because they were true outlaws. Al vs the NFL, Al vs Pete Rozelle, Raiders vs the Officials. etc. At least they were likable for being an underdog mom-and-pop team standing up against the NFL.
Deep down you have to reconcile yourself to knowing you support(ed) a team that is fraudulent, corrupt, fabricated, protected, favored.
It’s not a type of team that you think it is. Belichick was bad at the Browns. Had a Tom Cable type of record. He’s an excellent coach, and I like Belichick a lot for his football acumen and tactics. But the Patriots organization since Kraft took over is a scam.

No way the Ravens let Ngata go. And personally, we dont need him unless we are going to a 3-4. Draft a mid round dl for depth, then focus on the o-line and secondary in the rest of the draft. V-Jax would be nice, and Hue could probably convince him to come here. Bradshaw isnt enough of a change of pace from D-Mac for my taste, but we definately need another RB cuz he still hasnt been healthy for a full season. Posluzny and Bailey would look great in silver and black. I personally like VY, his turnover ratio and comp. % were better than JC’s last year and his win % is much higher as a starter.

there is a lot of oil up there… they say there’s another resevoir or two below the Bakken…
but it’s not environmentalists that are stopping the drilling… although frakking isn’t kind to water resources and your tap water will start to taste like natural gas…
the problem is people… workers… and places to put those workers…
ya see… north dakota has had several oil booms in the past… though none as serious as the one now…
and so communities sell bonds to make the necessary civil improvements to allow for the construction of more housing… roads, schools, etc…
and then when the price of oil drops a bit… the rigs shut down… the people leave and the towns get left holding the bag for all those improvements they made…
this time around a lot of the communities are asking for guarantees from the north dakota state gov to guarantee the investments, the bonds, for the improvements… that’s what’s slowing things down mostly…
as for 16 dollar oil… you’re insane… that schit’s a mile down and ain’t nobody putting up 25 million dollar rigs for 16 bucks a barrel…
the oil needs to be north of 80 to make it worthwhile…

You brought up the tuck rule. On NFLN today they mentioned that former VP of officiating Mike Periera wants that rule changed now.
After the Raiders got Snow Jobbed in New England, he defended the tuck rule until he was blue in the face.
It got called in the KC-Balt game last weekend and now he doesn’t seem to like it anymore. He now claims it should be a fumble unless it was clearly a forward pass attempt.
Not sure if he wants the rule changed or just the way it is interpreted.

You’re hating wayyy too much on Nnamdi. Sir, one player doesnt make a team but can def break them. Cwood was avoided but he wasnt avoided like Nnamdi had been avoided the last few years. Why? Eric Allen was a probowl CB opposite him while Routt and CJ took turns getting toasted. Dont even dare tell me Routt and CJ are anywhere near Eric Allen.

McNabb and Vernon Davis tweeting each other…”I’d love to throw you passes!”

How ya doin O?
No, they got nada up there. Have you ever driven through Detroit? Ugh. That’s all they can do is try to steal from Ohio. Hell, even Bo Schembechler himself, was pilfered off the staff of the great Woody Hayes.
And not sure why it matters, but there have always been rumors that Kordell Stewart was gay. Going back to his playing days in Pittsburgh. Supposedly he called a players only meeting to address the rumors. He stood up and said I just want to tell ya’ll that I believe in Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve..and then sat back down. For whatever that’s worth.

Mr. Davis will sign them all…thats not the problem, the REAL problem is do they desire to remain Riaders?

Good Night Nation…gotta get up early!

Jerry, why the censorship earlier? are you a limburger fan?
January 11th, 2011 at 8:45 pm
Nnamdi, Miller, Huff, Seymour, Wimbley. Definately the most important 5. Huff is much better than anyone on the market at playing one of the most difficult positions in the NFL
January 11th, 2011 at 8:49 pm
Mr. Davis and the “other forces” will get it done…
January 11th, 2011 at 8:50 pm
Jerry nothing in my earlier post warrented censorship.
Rush limbaugh is a stooge for the elite…
He is also a dope head…

“so called”
January 11th, 2011 at 8:50 pm
ESPN’s John Clayton on Inside the Huddle touched on Oakland’s free agent situation in his latest segment. He stated that we were hit hard because Seymour, Miller, and Asomugha are all Pro Bowlers in contract years.
Note: CB Stanford Routt had the second lowest completion percentage per pass attempt, only to Revis.

Buckeye,
I have been to mich before they killed the American Auto Infustry. I was happy to be back in Ohio.
I liked Slash.

it makes NO sense for AD to hire ROb Ryan as DC. there must be 30 DC types looking for jobs in the nfl. Ryan was here as DC for a long time. AD no doubt interviewed Ryan of the HC job IMO. Hue has to atleast stay on as OC. ROb Ryan as HC would be better than Cable IMO. Cable was bad as HC in college, so AD knew that cable was a quick fix. 28-62 as a head coach. thats cables record. Rob Ryan should come back as a DC or HC. Ryan being HC just might keep some of the FAs here and attract more.
