Fit for print _ the Jackson hire
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, January 18th, 2011 at 7:00 am in Oakland Raiders.
Links to Tuesday morning’s stories in Bay Area News Group papers:
My news story about Hue Jackson becoming the 17th coach of the Raiders.
Columnist Cam Inman wonders when Jackson will be fired.
Press conference today at 1:15 p.m., (PST). Lunch at noon (usually very good barbecue for head coaching hires). In the finest tradition of freeloading media, if the Raiders are offering lunch, I’m obligated to eat it.
TWITTER CHATTER
Ravens Insider Aaron Wilson reports on his Twitter account that Al Saunders, Wilbert Montgomery, Chuck Pagano and Wade Harman are possibilities for Jackson’s staff with the Raiders. For Baltimore, Saunders was an offensive consultant, Mongtomery coached running backs, Harman tight ends and Pagano the secondary.
Pagano, a former defensive backs coach for the Raiders before leaving to become defensive coordinator at North Carolina in 2007, would likely be a candidate for defensive coordinator.

Sanjay? REALLY!
January 18th, 2011 at 7:12 am
Jackson hire means continuity. Glad about DC change. If it was close the D usually lost game. O did great w/ no line and mediocre QB. McFad actually got used right. Draft was good. Hope same guy makes picks this year. We need WR’s, O lineman, and D backs. Outside of Asumgjskhsiga they sucked.

Barbeque sounds really good right about now…
But no thanks on the projector!

Who’s the D coach?
January 18th, 2011 at 7:15 am
I am hearing the Ravens DB coach is gonna be our DC.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:15 am
Agreed – more O-linemen, more production out of WRs and need more DBs. Veldheer is a beast; Wimbley staked his claim; T. Kelly pulled himself up; J. Campbell improved … we’re making strides!

January 18th, 2011 at 7:17 am
Hey Jerry:
A big question for HUE (ok davis)…
Will the team run HUE’S offense and will Saunders call plays from that framework? Or…will the team have to endure yet another change in offensive philosophy and terminology?
This is not a trivial point!
I really hope the former. No offense to JC but hes not too quick on the uptake (see his Week 1 deer-in-the -headlights performance for more gory details).
Saunders tweaking and adding wrinkles–>good plan. I just hope its NOT a wholesale change. Why would you go that route given last season’s success? Then again, this is old mad-man Al we are talking about here so anything goes especially if it makes ZER0.0 SENSE.
Hope the media blasts Davis a few times later today.
He more than deserves it and I am looking forward to seeing him make a fool of himself again.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:18 am
I heard Gruden is coming in as OC. Great hire. Hope he doesn’t undercut Hue Jackson though.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:19 am
99 compares Jason Campbell to JaDrankus?
REALLY? What kind of crack is he smokin’?
January 18th, 2011 at 7:19 am
Alright so we already know that Tom Cable & John Marshall wont be back …
these guys should be next in line!
Wide Receivers – Sanjay Lal

************
Yeah? I heard Madden and Flores are gonna split time at DC too.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:20 am
Yeah. JC. How many times did Ford have to slow down for JC’s passes. Dude went from deer-in-the-headlights to adequate. Props to HJ for getting him even that far. We need a real QB.
Nobody can compare to the infamous JaWalrus.

Hue Jackson could shake up Ravens’ staff
Shortly after Hue Jackson was announced as the Oakland Raiders’ new head coach, ESPN reported that he would hire Ravens senior offensive assistant Al Saunders as his offensive coordinator.
Saunders has been in the NFL for 27 years, coaching for San Diego, Kansas City, St. Louis and Washington before joining the Ravens in 2009.
As The Sun’s Mike Preston speculated Monday, Jackson could also be interested in other Ravens assistants like running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery, secondary coach Chuck Pagano or tight ends coach Wade Harmon.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:21 am
Strength and Conditioning – Brad Roll
*********
437 Hamstring injuries and Brad Roll is the 7th guy dismissed? He shoulda been fired around week 3!
January 18th, 2011 at 7:22 am
Chuck Pagano………new D coach??
January 18th, 2011 at 7:22 am
Chuck Pagano is the name I am hearing for DC. If he can get Mike Huff to play like he is even worthy of carrying Ed Reeds jock to practice I say that is a good hire!
January 18th, 2011 at 7:23 am
I’d like to keep Tollner, Hackett, Skipper & Henry on the offensive staff.
I’d like to keep Waufle, Biekert, Washington & Ross on the defensive staff.
at least thats SOME continuity!
January 18th, 2011 at 7:23 am
Al Saunders would be good. Wilbert Montgomery would be a good pickup as well … just as long as we can finally say adios to Sanjay!
January 18th, 2011 at 7:24 am
Just read Jerry’s latest piece on the HJ hiring and I still don’t see any indication that Jerry thinks Hue is a significant downgrade.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:25 am
I forgot about Pagano – my bad!

Get rid of Brad and hire Jamie Cake.

Zack Miller is good with Jackson:
“He has a strong personality that will carry right
over to the whole team,” Miller said. “Guys are familiar with him. They know what they’re getting with him. He’s not a new face coming in as a head coach. Having someone who has been here will make the transition that much easier.”
January 18th, 2011 at 7:27 am

BCZ,
that list was in no particular order
437? I counted 439 … but I counted DMAC & DHB twice
January 18th, 2011 at 7:28 am
Fact is that Jerry is accurately pointing out that this will be yet another press conference where the Raids introduce yet another HC, and that as expected Hue will promise great things to come and Al will agree.
How you translate that to ‘Hue is a significant downgrade’ eludes me, but that must be because us ‘retards’ just aren’t as smart as ‘rockstars’.
Interesting that you think I’m the one putting words into Jerry’s mouth, when it’s actually YOU that’s doing precisely that.
Jerry hasn’t said that Hue is a significant downgrade. He hasn’t even hinted at that.
You’re the only one that’s said that Jerry thinks Hue is a significant downgrade.
Rockstar, you’re a douchenozzle.

Downgrade from Cable? I don’t think that is possible….unless of course you re-hired Mike White, Art Shell, Joe Bugel or Rob Ryan.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:30 am
Mike White, Tom Cable Art Shell, Joe Bugel or Rob Ryan = Hue Jackson
you’re welcome
January 18th, 2011 at 7:31 am
Here’s a repost for you ‘Rockstar’.
===================================
I hope and think HJ is going to do a fine job as HC of the Raids.
Enjoyed reading the reports of him taking over the practices during pre-season. If Corkran and Jerry are to be believed, Hue’s banter motivated the players and kept things lively.
Although some here ridiculed Hue for being a butt kisser during his ‘Coach Davis’ presser/interview, I thought he came off as being well spoken, respectful and personable. I like the guy.
Also noticed that Hue seemed to interact well with the players when he was shown discussing things with them on the sidelines during games. The man seems to have the ability to get your attention. He’s animated and energetic and appears to be a good, confident teacher.
One critique though. There was more than one occasion where plays seemed late coming in from the sideline and the Raids blew quite a few time outs this year due to this tardiness, lack of comminication or indecisiveness. This is definitely an area for improvement.
Alot of the fans here have rebuked Hue for using the reverse way too frequently in 2010. I’m going to go against the grain here, and say I think for the most part those reverses were very succesful and it was refreshing to see the Raids have somewhat of a ’signature’ or ‘go to’ play in the arsenal for a change. The offense not only scored more points than we’ve seen since forever, it also seemed on the cusp of actually developing an identity.
Not a bad achievement considering Hue was saddled with JaJason at QB, an OL that is urine-poor at pass blocking and a less than stellar performance from the WRs.
Moving forward, Hue and Al must finalize the staff for 2011, and then decide what needs to be done personnel wise in the draft and free agency.
Can the moves made recently be construed as a lack of stability (as Jerry seems to think) or even dysfunction ? Maybe. But stability isn’t a good thing when you haven’t had resounding success. 8-8 is mediocrity. Yes, a step up from the sewer we descended into – but nothing to rest your laurels on. In my mind, things are falling into place nicely and the prospects for this franchise are greater than they have been in quite some time.
Of course, there’s still the elephant in the room which must be addressed – and that’s somehow, someway, finding and bringing a franchise QB to Oaktown.
JaJason sucks.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:31 am
Art did fine first time around.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:31 am
Lionel Washington should be fired for filling our defensive backfield with guys who don’t know how to tackle. If I have to watch Huff try to tackle guys with his shoulder for one more season, I’m going to vomit. Routt improved from horrendous to almost adequate, Aso will get out of Dodge and Mitchell and Johnson didn’t exactly put on a tackling clinic this year either. These guys still need to work on the friggin basics?
January 18th, 2011 at 7:31 am
Did Rob Ryan get a haircut and a shave, just to pose for a new press picture?!!
January 18th, 2011 at 7:32 am
Rockstar, I think you should at least give Hue Jackson 4 games before you judge him….that is about how much time it took me to make the call on Cable lol. Actually, I think I had a bad feeling about Cable after the first game he coached, but who is counting?
January 18th, 2011 at 7:33 am
OK so losing the great Tom Cable was a little tough at first, and Hue scares me a little with his cuteness.
But now we got Saunders probably calling plays and a huge core of the Ravens coaching staff coming along too?
Well I’ll be damned, Al may have something going here.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:33 am
I’d like to keep Tollner, Hackett, Skipper & Henry on the offensive staff.
I’d like to keep Waufle, Biekert, Washington & Ross on the defensive staff.

So you’re ok with Al forcing coaches you like on the new HC?
January 18th, 2011 at 7:33 am
99,
whats a douchenozzle?
Fine. Jerry Mac listed firing Tom Cable and replacing him with Hue Jax as HC being an UNSTABLE offseason move
does that make you feel all warm & fuzzy inside?

That Cable quote reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where the chick is shoutin “WE’RE ALL WINNERS!”.. watchin a marathon or some kinda race.
~
“We expect to be challenging for the playoffs, challenging for our division year in and year out and we’re not getting that done, so to me, that’s a disappointment. There’s either first place or there’s last place and there’s no in between.”
That was a far different tone than the one expressed by Cable, who notably pronounced “you can’t call us losers anymore” after the Raiders capped an 8-8 season by beating AFC West champ Kansas City in the season finale.
January 18th, 2011 at 7:35 am
You know there is going to be at least one or two flunkie coaches around; there is always a Randy Hanson type somewhere around there.

A douchenozzle is someone that puts the words “Hue is a significant downgrade” (when he’s never said or even hinted that’s his belief) into Jerry’s mouth, and then when questioned about this has the audacity to claim that the questioner is the one putting words into Jerry’s mouth.
That would be the rockstardouchenozzle.
At least now the douchenozzle is attempting to be accurate by saying Jerry thinks the move to Hue is evidence of instability.
That’s not quite the same as insisting that Jerry thinks Hue is a significant downgrade though, is it douchestar ?

Imagine what our secondary would be ranked if we lost Nnamdi on June 30th for the season. Dominque Foxworth isnt Nnamdi, but the blow to their secondary was nearly as signifigant
January 18th, 2011 at 8:15 am
Local media on Ravens secondary:
At the start of training camp, the Ravens secondary was considered to be the team’s biggest weakness, even before cornerback Domonique Foxworth tore his ACL. Six months later, pass defense might be an area of strength when the Ravens face the Steelers in the divisional round.
Credit secondary coach Chuck Pagano for getting the most out of this group. Two of the Ravens’ regulars at cornerback — Lardarius Webb and Fabian Washington — are a year removed from major knee surgery. And he has Chris Carr and Josh Wilson playing up to their potential.
It took a few weeks to get Wilson, acquired in late August, integrated into the defense, but he has made up for the loss of Foxworth. Sports Illustrated’s Peter King called Wilson “a godsend.” Wilson saved the day against the Texans, and you rarely see the back of his No. 37 jersey on replays.
The Ravens rank 21st in pass defense, but they have once again been doing that bend-but-don’t-break thing. For example, Carson Palmer threw for 305 yards against the Ravens in Week 17. But the Ravens kept the Bengals out of the end zone in the closing minutes of the 13-7 win.
With eight interceptions in their past three games, the Ravens have been ball-hawking, too.
They picked off Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel three times in last week’s 30-7 wild-card win. The Baltimore defense also shut out Kansas City wideout Dwayne Bowe. The Pro Bowler led the NFL with 15 receiving touchdowns during the regular season, but against the Ravens, he didn’t have a catch of any variety. Bowe wasn’t even targeted, which has been a hot topic in K.C. this week.
“Their defense was schemed around me, to take me out, and that’s exactly what they did,” Bowe told Kansas City reporters on Monday. “It happened, but that’s over.”

Imagine what our secondary would be ranked if we lost Nnamdi on June 30th for the season. Dominque Foxworth isnt Nnamdi, but the blow to their secondary was nearly as signifigant

so that would be like CJ37, Routt, Branch and 8 games each for Huff & Stevie Brown ???

in all honesty, what do you think our pass defense would rank if the Run D improved to 12th or 15th (instead of 25th-32nd every year)
I know that stats can be deceiving. Would our secondary even place in the Top 10?

saw the steele interview on why he stopped the fight. i agree with him that taylor had taken a beating and his health was at risk. but he stopped the fight with 10 seconds to go. how much more punches would he have taken? chavez won the fight by all accounts. but taylor deseved the decision.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:43 am
After all that, Hue just gets promoted. Like most of us knew was a matter of time, the moment he was hired as OC.
Al Saunders wouldn’t be bad as OC, but I see cheap-a$$ Al just keeping Paul Hackett and Ted Tollner around as de-facto coordinators, since Hue is calling the plays anyways. Hackett should have a good history with Jackson and last year’s success to build on. No reason to bring a new personality into the mix.
As for DC, I really hope Al makes a splash. Marshall had some good momentum and was well liked, so Al needs to replace him with a guy that is going to be innovative and keep pushing the agenda with our defense. Maybe he has Pagano or Moss in mind, which would be great, or promoting Waufle to provide consistency. Just dont get some re-tread caretaker DC.

Asomugha-Huff-Branch-Routt = solid!
Guys like Henderson, Bryant, Scott, Moss, Goethel, R.Brown & Williams offer adequate depth along the defensive front seven … Johnson, Mitchell, S.Brown, McFadden & Ware offer adequate depth to the secondary imo
As we’ve discussed before, the biggest problems were consistency & giving up the BIG PLAY. I’ll add to that defensive schemes, such as 5 safety sets against Jacksonville and Zone D against SF. Marshall went into Prevent mode that cost us a win against SD in WK1 last year too
what can we do personnel wise ???

However, I wonder how could the Cable fine issue slipped by them for the whole season? How or why did the Nnamdi contract void slipped by them? It wasn’t until the ESPN’s bait boy beat them for those stories.

Groves at LB could easily be upgraded IMO. I think a WLB with some speed will help.
SS Branch had a bad year, but I think he’s capable of playing better. Bring in someone to push him or outright take his job
I like Wimbley as long as we use him right. He needs to mix up his rush moves tho. He only has one move.
How healthy will T Scott be? We might need another 3rd down pass rusher.

January 18th, 2011 at 9:03 am
consistency is definitely a problem with this group, but leading the league in tackles for a loss and 40+ yard plays, spells scheme problems and play-calling problems. Too many lineman attacking the ball and getting out of position. This is the same thing we have been hearing about the Raiders through 3 different D-coordinators and several different roster overhauls: gap discipline. They attack well, but nobody holds up against the cutback lanes, misdirection plays, draws, reverses, screens, etc. We have all-pro talent, but bush league scheme.

ShoNasty is FAR from a simple pass rusher. The run defense went to another level when we finally stopped playing around and made him the full time starter, lol. I know, I know, it was Scott’s injury that got him the gig.
I tend to think that Wimbley and Groves will be a lot better in year 2 of playing OLB. They certainly got better as the year went on.
With that said, I wouldn’t mind seeing Wimbley and Groves moved back to DE.
Start Goethel at SLB and draft a monster WLB in rd 2.

———————
There’s not a lot that can be done personnel-wise, although I still believe that in the system Al wants to run, having a very good #2 CB is pretty much a necessity. Routt improved last season, but still isn’t very physical and gives up crucial plays.
In addition, the Raiders could use a WLB who is better in coverage as well as being a good run-stopper. Groves and Goethel are good players, but they can’t be matched up against RBs, WRs, and TEs consistently.
The biggest thing this defense can do to improve is to start playing gap discipline (the lack of gap discipline is why cutback runners do so well against the Raiders defense, and why the Raiders are still so susceptible to the big play), and to start blitzing with Wimbley, Groves, Asomugha, Mitchell, and nickel CBs more often (and get better at playing zone coverage behind).

Houston, Kelly, Big Sey and Shaugnessy is a great starting group, with Bryant for depth, but depending on the health and contract status of “Big” John Henderson, we need to consider some stout DT’s in the draft (since FA is an uncertainty). We also need another Shaugnessy type DE for depth. After Shaugnessy and Houston, all we have is pass-rushing specialists, and that is where the softness against the run is taking place.

Not so sure about that. We do have most of the LB’s, but we would need another ILB next to McPain, and the others may need to put on some weight. As far as the D-line we would need a NT for sure, and maybe another 3-4 DE. Houston can hold down one side, but who’s gonna play the other? Kelly ain’t a good fit, Seymour would be good for another year or two, but he may be gone. SnoNuff would be a fish out of water. Scott would be a back-up OLB. Bryant=gone. Henderson=back-up NT.
January 18th, 2011 at 9:18 am

January 18th, 2011 at 9:19 am
We’re speculating on how we can improve RRS.
Groves and Wimbley were playing 4-3 OLB for the first time EVER. They certainly had there moments of looking like 1st time LBs. At the same time, they had some really nice moments at OLB. Wouldn’t have a problem if things stayed just like they were as like I said earlier, I expect them to be better year 2 in the position.
BUT …
I think we could use some more speed at DE attacking the LOS. I love Houston and ShoNasty at the DE positions though, so I’m kinda torn.
I think my 5 year rant on installing the 3-4 is the only option here, lol.

We have the same kind of line that befuddled the Pats in the Superbowl two years ago; big, active guys at all 4 spots that can get after you and stop the run.
Where we have some personnel “misappropriation” is at LB, where it seems we have stockpiled 3-4 OLB’s for whatever reason.

When asked by ESPNDallas.com’s Calvin Watkins whether the team would listen to trade offers for Dez Bryant, a member of the Cowboys front office said he “would think about it.”
Former Cowboy Patrick Crayton has said the team let Bryant “get away with a lot of stuff” in his rookie season, and, according to NFC East blogger Matt Mosley, Bryant “was reportedly late to several meetings during the season and didn’t exactly commit the playbook to memory.” Still, we’re not taking this report too seriously, as the Cowboys knew there were character concerns with Bryant when they drafted him and are extremely unlikely to deal such a talented young wideout.

Me either, but he would be perfect for your 3-4 squad.
January 18th, 2011 at 9:33 am
Quite frankly, I still see Waufle as the front-runner to becoming our next DC. He has a history with Al, has already worked with the players for a year, and his group was by far the most successful last year. All those inflated rushing stats from 40+ yard plays? Those fall on the LB’s and DB’s, the line did its job.
January 18th, 2011 at 9:34 am
Mike Shanahan has long been intrigued by Russell, he worked him out during the season and Redskins coaches told me Russell was impressive. Shanahan is not afraid of a gamble, and has at times even seemed to court controversy with his handling of the McNabb and Albert Haynesworth situations. I could see the Redskins taking a chance on Russell. Some have linked Young to his hometown Houston Texans as a possible backup, but I’m not sure Gary Kubiak wants that burden as he begins another season still firmly on the hot seat (three straight years and running!).

With our highest pick (currently) a second-rounder, it may come down to which is the best player on the board — between a stout run-stopping d-lineman and a quick good-hands defensive back.

As good, and young, as our D-line you would use our first pick on another? Our O-line is in much more need of help. I would love to draft a young Seymour type, but the O-line in far more important right now.

This team’s prob is on the O. We must find a real WR, and better O-line guys.
January 18th, 2011 at 9:41 am
Rather have Waufle keep working with his D-Linemen and keep developing them and make them better. They should be quite dominant next year, especially if they can get a younger version of John Henderson in the draft somewehere. The DT position looks to be deep in this years upcoming draft.
Pagano would be good choice as DC I think, just as long as he mixes it up.
January 18th, 2011 at 9:41 am
Tyvon Branch had a lot of bad plays that went for big yardage; he also led all NFL DB’s in tackles (dont quote me on that). There is something very wrong about those two stats, I think it has much more to do with what is going on in front of him, then his level of play. But his play against the pass was putrid at times; he is either still learning how to diagnose and will improve with experience; or his future is at something other than SS in the NFL. Too early to tell.

Impending free agent CB Fabian Washington does not expect to be back with the Ravens in 2011.
“What am I going to do here? I don’t know what I’m going to do,” Washington said. He played sparingly down the stretch after losing his starting job to Josh Wilson at mid-season. Washington has been an injury-prone disappointment since the Ravens traded for him in 2008.

January 18th, 2011 at 9:50 am
I don’t think the struggles on defense were Groves’ fault at all. I think he’s actually a pretty good player and nice addition to this team.
He’s just not ideal to be left in coverage as often as this team asks its linebackers to cover. Especially against RBs and WRs.
Teams with slightly different 4-3 schemes get it done with much less talent at OLB.
Again, it comes down to scheme more than anything. Hell, scheme is the biggest reason I think the Raiders need to find a CB much better than Routt. It’s not that Routt is a bad player. It’s that he’s not physical enough to be consistent being targeted as much as he is A) playing across the field from Nnamdi and B) playing man-to-man all the time.
If the Raiders simply implemented a 4-3 scheme more like the ones the Saints and Giants use? I think we’d be looking at a pretty solid defensive team.
January 18th, 2011 at 9:50 am
Tyvon Branch had a lot of bad plays that went for big yardage; he also led all NFL DB’s in tackles (dont quote me on that).
*********
Sorry I am quoting you… Donte Whitner (picked 1 pick after we got Huff by the way, wish we could swap those picks) led all DB’s, Tyvon finished 34th in the NFL, and 7th among DBs in tackles this year.

W/ Singletary going back to coaching LB’s, will Cable get a job coaching an O’line somewhere?
January 18th, 2011 at 9:52 am
Is Al Saunders really a good thing? Isn’t he the guy that everyone gripes about his play book being way to big? It seems like Jason Campbell said at one time that he didn’t do well with Saunders because his playbook had way to many plays in it… I could be wrong.
And why do I keep reading internet chatter that Al wants to make Peyton Manning the highest paid QB in the league wearing Silver and Black? Doubt it would ever happen, I still think that we are going to have VY starting hear next year.
January 18th, 2011 at 9:53 am
Cam Iman is a Raider hater but it doesnt mean he wrong on his article.
“Bigger question: Why would Jackson want a job proven to have such a short shelf-life? Answer: Jackson hasn’t had a head coaching job in his life. He’s presumably never clocked in for work at his new pay scale.
Only 32 of these jobs exist. Check that. None of the other 31 NFL coaching spots compare to the Raiders’ work conditions.
If Jackson thrives, he will reverse a troubling trend and thus deserve major recognition that he could parlay into a better job (see: Gruden, 2002).
He hasn’t stayed in one NFL locale for more than three years. That leaves him at least 24 months still to serve on Al-catraz.”
January 18th, 2011 at 9:53 am
@YoungAmerican
Eevrything u said is true
I just never saw any playmaking from Groves. McClain and Wimbley certainly made mistakes, but they also showed the ability to execute TFL’s, sacks, PD’s, big hits, etc. And I expect McClain to be much improved next year.
Groves was kind of invisible
January 18th, 2011 at 9:54 am
interested to see where Cable lands. he’s not nfl head coaching material, obviously not offensive coord material, his Oline suxed every year with the raiders. he might find a head coaching job in a small college.

We will keep Moss. He is a former 1st RD pick, and Bryant plays UT most of the time, same with Houston, Wumbket is our SLB in our base 4-3, so we can keep Moss on the roster.
DT: Seymour, TK, Henderson/ (or draft a rookie), and Bryant.

Scott is terrible, DMac.
Groves can take his place as the DE on 3rd down, imo.
Which takes us to backup DE. Moss getting a look see at DE on passing downs is not a problem for me. I’m not saying it’s a solution, but upgrading from Scott is not that hard to do.
You don’t like Moss? Fine by me. Draft a DE in rd 3 then, but get Scott the F off my team.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:30 am
Scott & Moss can both stick.
Davis, Howard, Williams & R Brown will compete for 2 or 3 dual backup LB & special teams spots
the situation gets a little MORE cloudy if Huff gets re-signed and the new DC wants to give Mike Mitchell some snaps at LB.

January 18th, 2011 at 10:32 am
This was predicted by everyone, no shocker there. Not sure how I feel about Saunders as OC..I kinda like that little bratt McDaniels to be honest..Oh well, I digress..
I hate when you guys talk about food on here while Im at work, makes me freakin hungry as all heck…
So this is what I am having for dinner tonight, its the recipe by my most favorite chef Anthony Bourdain, and one of the only ones he actually makes for himself when he is at home. Finally got my veal stock today…here you go..
INGREDIENTS
4 8-ounce steaks
2 ounces olive oil
2 ounces freshly cracked peppercorns (crushed but not ground to powder!)
4 ounces sweet butter
1 ounce good Cognac
4 ounces strong, dark veal stock (something to keep in your freezer)
Salt and pepper
EQUIPMENT
Heavy skillet
Kitchen tongs
Wooden spoon
Serving platter
DIRECTIONS FOR STEAK
1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Moisten the meat very slightly with oil, then dredge each of the steaks in the crushed peppercorns to thoroughly coat. Don’t be shy with the pepper.
2. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add 2 ounces, which is half of the butter. Place the steaks in the pan and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
3. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until desired doneness, about 5 to 7 minutes for rare, 10 minutes for medium rare, and so on. Remove from the oven and remove the steaks from the pan to rest. Have I told you yet to always rest your meat after cooking? I’ve told you now.
DIRECTIONS FOR SAUCE
1. Return the skillet to the stovetop and carefully stir in the Cognac. As much fun as it is to create a column of flame as you add flammable material to an incredibly hot pan, it’s not really desirable or necessary — especially in a home kitchen. Unless you’re a pyromaniac, I recommend carefully adding the Cognac to the still-hot pan off the flame, stirring and scraping with the wooden spoon to get every scrap, every peppercorn, every rumor of flavor clinging to the bottom of the pan.
2. Now place the pan on the flame again and cook it down a bit, by about half. Stir in the veal stock and reduce over medium heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Whisk in the remaining butter and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with French fries or sautéed potatoes.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:32 am
I just like Scott on those obvious passing situations. He’s a HUUUUUUUUUGE liability in the stopping the run.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:33 am
During an episode of NFL Live the other night, as they were going off the air, you could here Chad say, “Oakland, call me.”

I would love to see V Jackson, but with their past I think Ocho Cinco will end up in Oakland.

O,
Wimbley is a DE in ALL passing situations. If you have Scott coming back, I just don’t see how Moss fits into the picture. What does he do that Wimbley, Scott, and Groves don’t?
You really see Wauffle making a case for this guy? You think Wauffle agrees with us that Scott is a bum?
January 18th, 2011 at 10:34 am
You guys think Al is siding with Jerry Jones regarding this revenue sharing issue? On one hand, I dont see Al as the type of guy that would want to cancel a season, but on the other hand, his off-season moves, point to someone who is preparing for a cancelled season. Also, Al is no friend of the NFL, I just can’t imagine him siding with Goodell and wanting everyone to share the wealth while capping the amount Al can spend on his players.
Today’s presser will probably be the same old horse and pony show, but I hope if Al makes an appearance, that these reporters grill him on his thoughts about the CBA. Al has been around the league for longer than anyone else calling shots in those meeting, he should have a very unique perspective on this.
Jerry, please press Al on the CBA discussion. Nobody wants to hear recycled quotes about the greatness of the Raiduhs and how Jackson will be the one who gets us back there. Heard it every other year for far too long.

Baltimore has a 3 S lineup they use with the Landry, Reed, and the young somaon kid. Sorry, forgot his name. The kid who had the pick against KC and then fumbled it right back.
Anyway …
I’m pretty sure Pangano can get Tyvon Branch back on track and put this abysmal year behind him. If not, I’m sure we’ll see what Mike Mitchell can do.
I think Huff is off to Texas somewhere. And that is going to be sad!

BCZ,
Hue Jax had an opportunity to give Johnnie Lee some significant playing time and passed in favor Darrius Heyward-Bey. Not sure if this was mandated by Al Davis or not.
Jhill makes a good point by asking why Russell can be CUT after 3 years as a #1 overall draft choice, but DHB can’t be BENCHED after 1 year as a #7 ???
We may not go after V-Jax or Ocho … I’m 100 percent certain it wont be both after Hue said that Darrius is capable of an 8 catch game with 224 yards and 3 TD’s!

It’s a great day to be a Raiders fan! Isn’t it?!
BBB — Right on the money w/ the CBA questions today. There isn’t another owner in the League who understands contracts, and the “feel” of negotiations, better than Al Davis. He’s seen and heard it all…and he’s helped save this here NFL from itself a few times.
DK — If it’s Saunders, I’d feel pretty comfortable w/ him calling plays IN CONJUNCTION w/ HueJax…but only because I know Saunders and HueJax have a good (and familiar) working relationship. Saunders is an outstanding “consultant,” and HueJax is a dynamic play-caller who’s getting better as we go along. Don’t think I’d be comfy with ANY other OC tinkering with what HueJax has been able to do so far. Whomever is chosen, HueJax must keep firm oversight on the O.
Just like last Spring, Al and his staff are going to do the right things this off-season…naming HueJax early as HC is one of the right things. Count on Al getting it done again this year — no matter how strange the off-season or resulting season may become.
January 18th, 2011 at 11:07 am
ochocinco would be a good fit for Oakland. His antics are fun and harmless, Al could care less about a player doing that, just so long as he produces. The Bay Area is much more tolerant of that than the conservative mid-west; he would be a star here.
Chad reminds me of Schilens, except healthy, which has been the missing ingredient in our passing game the last 2 years…and we really need a vet WR that can teach these young guys through action, not coaching. Murphy, Schilens, Ford, DHB; these guys are all super young and still learning their craft and if JLH is their veteran leader we are really in trouble. A professional pass catcher to teach the nuances of NFL route-running is invaluable.
January 18th, 2011 at 11:07 am

To Jerry and the others. Ask REAL questions please.
After you and the others stuff your faces with the free lunch. Please ask questions to Hue regarding the plan on keeping IN HOUSE free agents and adding a possible #1 WR. Ask him if he will remain the primary play caller also (which he should). Ask the old man Al regarding the CBA and potential for lockout.
Also, ask Hue if the new Defensive Coordinator will be allowed to implement some more 3-4 looks.
Thanks guys and have a nice lunch! haha
January 18th, 2011 at 11:11 am
This team was good enough to be 9-7 minimum last year and should have won the AFC West.
In my mind, Al thinks we were a good coach away from being a contender. I think we’ll rely on young players maturing and maybe a LB or two, DL for depth. Maaaaaaybe a WR, but I wouldn’t expect a big splash in FA.
We still gotta sign our two best players (although I think we will).

Im still waiting for you to tell me which no name coaches Hue is bringing in? Have you heard names mentioned that we havent heard/discussed here today?
no but who won any championships
**************
Al Saunders was a member of the Rams coaching staff for their Super Bowl win. (I believe he was WR coach and Assistant Head Coach to Vermeil with Martz as the OC)

t.o was better than this chump this yr to much tv for chad he cant handle the spot light just football chad johnson and not ochocinco could be our best WR

This ‘Chump’ had more receptions than our #1 #2 and #3 WRs COMBINED.
the chump is not what we need we need a big fast WR maybe plaxico V Jax or some one over 6′4

If Ochocinco practices as hard as people say he does, I’d sign him for that reason alone. Somebody’s gotta show our young WR’s how it’s done
Ochocinco, Ford, and Ch….Cha….man I can’t even jinx it by saying his name out loud
DHB and Murph coming off the bench
January 18th, 2011 at 11:15 am
Bring in “Ochocinco” (give him 85 and make DHB change numbers again – hey! #81 isn’t being used!). The, we’ll have both experience and quality depth, with a young upside … that would work! Get Ocho away from that cancerous T.O.

Scott and Moss?
Wouldn’t it be nice for these guys train in the offseason to be a DEs than a LBs? I cannot imagine that you wouldn’t train differently to play pass rushing DE than a LB? Also, I have more hope in Moss than the rest of the former 1st round busts Davis has picked up over the years. At least this guy has the crutch that things did not work out b/c he was playing the wrong position, instead of just needing a fresh start.

Actually…there are many of us who not only read, but we can right, too! Most grown-ups are over wearing Halloween costumes…especially more than once a year.
And…most fans really do attend games for the GAME, and not to play dress-up (even though you’d think otherwise, watching on TV).

Seriously we can debate coaches until AIG’s brain explodes but it’s really meaningless until we upgrade the TALENT on the offensive side of the ball.
QB- average at best
O line – average at best
WR- average at best
I like what Hue got out of our unit this year (u my boy Hue!!!), but with next years opponents, we better add 3 more starters on offense somehow

Since you are very much into QB stats.

Not enough explosive playmakers on Patriots finally caught up to them. You gotta give credit to Rex and the Jets D. They were outstanding. That was really impressive D
January 18th, 2011 at 12:11 pm
Al Saunders consistently ran plays through his biggest offensive weapons (Priest or Johnson). That’s why they dominated the TD stats with Priest or Johnson.
Hue Jack did not consistently ran plays through our biggest weapon (DMAC).
You can look it up and the evidence will back it up. Even our first win against KC, Hue Jack didnt consistently use DMAC and hence we struggled. In games we can’t run the ball, we struggled offensively. 5 out of 8 losses Hue Jack’s offense was a no show and you can tie it directly to a lack of running game.

People,
Seriously we can debate coaches until AIG’s brain explodes but it’s really meaningless until we upgrade the TALENT on the offensive side of the ball.
QB- average at best
O line – average at best
WR- average at best
I like what Hue got out of our unit this year (u my boy Hue!!!), but with next years opponents, we better add 3 more starters on offense somehow

QB= below average
WR= far below average
OL=average

He came into that game with a rating of over a 100, and Alex constantly comparing his stats to J Campbell’s “weaknesses”

His rating prior to that game was deserved. No question. The guy went 11 weeks and over 350 pass attempts without throwing an INT.
January 18th, 2011 at 12:16 pm
Maybe it was already talked about earlier…
but did everyone like the wrinkle in the Jets defense: That Reavis was covering Deion Branch most of the game on the outside and then the Jets were using double-teams to take out Wes Welker.

KK, Jets played the dime package and dared NE to run on them. They knew NE ground game coudnt match up to their ground defense with just the front four. If NE had any sort of ground game, they’d make the Jets pay. Unfortunately we know they dont.

It’s will be addressed this offseason. JLH and Nick Miller are gone. That opens up 2 WR jobs at a minimum. I see us adding a solid WR or 2 this offseason.
How the Oline shakes out is going to be the fun part of the offseason. I have no doubt that Veldheer, Henderson, Walker, and Campbell will be starting. If Hue likes Satele, then we’re set at OL.

One sock puppet for another. Want to see what the Hue Jackson Raiders will look like, watch any game from the 2010 season. Watch Jano muff a chip shot to lose a pivotal game. It’s going to come down to the same under Hue. But watch the kool aid drinkers insist that we’ll light up the scoreboards and never be in close games. Yeh. With Jason Campbell and this corp of receivers. LOL.
January 18th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
the guys that Cable was given to coach that were replaced on offense aren’t even in the LEAGUE anymore!
Russell, Fargas, Lawton, J Walker, Watkins, Stewart, Morris, Pears, Green (Buffalo)
that doesn’t make a difference?
LOL!
January 18th, 2011 at 12:27 pm
Rock we arent going to agree on Hue, its just not going to happen. The thing is, you HAVE to deal with it, or be a fan of a different team. Hue is 47 minutes from being announced as the next head coach of the Raiders, no way YOU can change it.

Russell, Fargas, Lawton, J Walker, Watkins, Stewart, Morris, Pears, Green (Buffalo)

Cable coulda played McFadden or Bush over Fargas if he wanted to.
Walker and Watkins are better than DHB.
Chris Morris, Pears, and Cornbread were Cable ZBS guys.

We got a tougher schedule next year, and some major personnel changes to make, and teams arent gonna take us for granted anymore
At this point, FA signings and draft is what matters
January 18th, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Jhill (#445),
how much authority do you think Tom Cable had?
He was stripped of his play calling duties. Al Davis personally chose his new OC (play caller) as well as DB Coach & DL Coach. The Raiders didn’t deny any media reports that he had been fired. Then we find out that he was fined for 10 game checks during the season
why are you under the impression that TC could just do as he pleased? or that he was in Al’s good graces?

I liked the Pats use of Touble TEs, especially in the Steelers game. (I hate and admire the Pats) A Double-TE is a great offense against the 3-4 and would really help out the running game and give JC another short yardage target. More teams are moving to the 3-4 defense and the Patriots just happened to choose this scheme?
I agree Reece should be used more in the passing game and played as an H-Back type guy than a true FB.

Yes, I am currently looking to hire an unemployed Linebackers Coach, to relay my philosophies of defensive dominance to the team.

Its called respect. Earned respect. Wether you choose to aknowledge it or not. DEAL.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:10 pm
why are you under the impression that TC could just do as he pleased? or that he was in Al’s good graces?
——————————————————-
When did I say that?
In Tom Cable’s 3 years here, he had some of “his guys” on the roster. Be it when he came in as Oline coach, the offseason before last, or what have you.
Are you now saying he didn’t clean up the locker room?
Al Davis decides the entire 53 man roster?
And I certainly believe Hue brought in some of his guys this past offseason. If you want to tell me it was Al and Marshall with no imput from Cable of the defensive changes, well … I’ll buy that, lol.

WTF!!!!
YIKES!!!!!!
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
January 18th, 2011 at 1:16 pm
DAMN Al!
Did Cable knock Al over the head last week?
January 18th, 2011 at 1:16 pm
I think Cable “Randy Hansoned” Al Davis on his way out the door. That’s a gash.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:16 pm
Dam it looks like Al Davis (the emperor) was in a scrap. I’m sure he won though.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:17 pm

January 18th, 2011 at 1:17 pm
uh oh, Al is going after the reporters. This is gonna be epic!
January 18th, 2011 at 1:17 pm
Well what are we all going to look like at age 85ish.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:18 pm
You can probably literally see the blood flowing through his veins…lol…damn hes old.
but still, The Great Al Davis
January 18th, 2011 at 1:19 pm
S$$$, Al, you didn’t even want Plunkett! You benched him both of his SB years. Give me a break. Just get on with it.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:19 pm
Jason Camplunkett will be your QB next year!
Stay tuned for the Bruce Campbell announcement.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:19 pm
why does his hand look so retarded?
January 18th, 2011 at 1:19 pm
Why can’t he just introduce Hue and step aside. Lets see how many former Raiders he thinks should be in the hall of fame.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:19 pm
He compared Campbell to Favre. Yeh, I can see the resemblance, Al.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
please keep me informed on all the classic one-liners!
January 18th, 2011 at 1:20 pm

Wow. I like this guy, Deuce. Al should have let him talk more last year. He’s Gruden all over again. Of course Al’s going run him out once he starts winning, but it will be fun while it lasts. I like Hue’s attitude. You can hear it in his tone, he’s no Shell/Bugel.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:28 pm

January 18th, 2011 at 1:33 pm

January 18th, 2011 at 1:33 pm
Al is really fired up about Jason Campbell; there is no doubt he is gonna ride or die with JCamp for the next few years. Doesnt sound like we are drafting a young QB anytime soon.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:33 pm
What is Cam Newton’s mothers name?
January 18th, 2011 at 1:34 pm
I think Hue’s for real. I also think he’ll inevitably clash with Al, and that he’s blowing smoke up Al’s ass right now with this praise for Campbell. It won’t go swimmingly, but I think Hue can be the next Gruden. Just don’t entertain any job offers, Hue.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:34 pm
He is wrong about that Gannon started his 4th, 5th, and 6th year for the Vikings.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:34 pm

If you didn’t like zone blocking you should not have hired Cable as a coach.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:38 pm

He just smashed the ZBS and Tom Cable!
January 18th, 2011 at 1:38 pm
Al Davis was semi gushing over Alex Smith.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:38 pm
I like Hue, but I’m not seeing sunshine. He’s going to clash with Al. You can tell by that personality. Hue is a natural born leader and sharp as a blade, you can just hear it in him. He’s going to run the team bunker style like Gruden did and like Kiffin tried to do. Good thing is I think he knows how to work Al better than Kiffin did, which isn’t hard to do considering that Kiffin couldn’t have been worse at it.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:39 pm
LMAO!!!!! Guieterrez spanked by Davis!!! Old man Al is juiced today! I love it! Givem’ hell AL!!!!!

there is like 80 folks on the roster

I don’t think he’ll be a OC in this league …
I’m not a ZBS guy!
LMFAO!
January 18th, 2011 at 1:39 pm
Hue said he got 20 text messages from players saying they are excited. I guess the other 31 were the free agents that aren’t on the team anymore. But Al would dispute that.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:40 pm

January 18th, 2011 at 1:44 pm
I traded for Seymour…
I drafted Asomugha…
lol
But not he is getting millions to play corner.
Yes you are the one that paid him–not another team.
Lol
January 18th, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Al is destroying the haters, crushed gradkowski, and says he still loves Campbell! I love this dude, thank god for old man Al
January 18th, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Wow he almost traded Asomugha to the Jets, but Asomugha wanted to stay with the Raiders.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
Things I detected from the Live press Conference.
- Campbell is our QB at least for next season.
- Wauffle stays where he is or might even get promoted to DC.
- The possibility of a veteran wr has diminished. Al sees Chaz as a big possesion wr, Louis as a good #2, DHB and Ford as great deep threats.
- Zack Miller will be back
- Not mentioning Asomugha could just be a negotiation strategy.
- Al Davis hates the broncos.
- Hue is the right choice, I do believe this will work out.
I’ll wait for Jerry to post the rest of the conference.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
Hue says we are going to be aggressive on defense.
Lol does that mean blitzing?
January 18th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
is there a baby at the press conference? Al is gonna eat that thing, be careful
January 18th, 2011 at 1:47 pm
I hope Hue raids the Ravens defensive coaching staff.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Miller, Seymour, Aso, and Bush free agents. Bad team management. You don’t want that many good players’ contracts running out at once. Another reason Al needs a cap specialist, like how Bruce Allen used to be. You either want your best players feeling at home, or just trade them already. Don’t leave them in limbo. And WTF us up with that baby in the background? Is that Hue’s kid?
January 18th, 2011 at 1:47 pm

With 5 games left, we won 3 and lost 2.
Let’s see here.
The D didnt show up against Indy and Jax.
the O didnt show up against Indy.
It’s even debatable if the O even showed up against KC. The D owned KC that day.
But hey, it’s all the D’s fault right?

January 18th, 2011 at 1:51 pm
Oh, great. Don’t tell Al you’re a Gruden guy, Hue. Strike one. Right off the bat. Hopefully Al didn’t hear. That baby’s distracting.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:51 pm

wait till the Hue questions are over.

Hey guys, I live in south Florida and NFL network cut off the presser. Can anyone tell me where I can watch it?
January 18th, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Al says we want a new stadium. He is right. I went to the coliseum for the first time this year. Its a dump.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:12 pm

^^^^^^^

January 18th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Al hasn’t made a decision about his draft picks yet.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
AD heard my comment and started talking about how we need a new stadium now, but i doubt that Oakland will demo the coliseum to build a modern stadium, whats the line at Vegas for us going back to LA once they get the new stadium build, and stay there until Oakland gets a new stadium, and just teeter totter between cities endlessly?
January 18th, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Lol Al did hire a general manager. He snuck in through the back door.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Who was the secret GM?
January 18th, 2011 at 2:15 pm
al talkin bout he has a GM…
January 18th, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Al is starting to get testy. This presser better end soon or Al is gonna start saying weird stuff.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Lol, we had a secret GM for 8 months! JUST WIN BABY! Charlie Casserly?

January 18th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
LOL Kawakami…
January 18th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Love Al saying “who?” everytime Kawakami asks a question. He’s still got it.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Tim Kawakami is getting the treatment.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:21 pm
Tim kawak…..

Tim Kawakami

Hu Jacik is a class act, could have smashed cable but he didnt.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
The old man sounds pretty stroked-out. And, that baby that we all heard is actually Al’s lunch. As part of his deal with the dark underlord, he is required to drink fresh spinal fluid from an infant at least twice a day.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Tim who?
January 18th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Hue Jack sold me with the build a bully comment…
January 18th, 2011 at 2:22 pm

January 18th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Al said ” you f’ed that up!”
January 18th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Al Davis looks like Hell, but sounds more coherent this year.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Dam he just cursed on national tv. He used the F word.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:23 pm

January 18th, 2011 at 2:24 pm

January 18th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Oh oh, here comes the overhead projector.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:25 pm

I hope Hue Jackson is out of the room now.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:27 pm
Tommy Cable the wife beater. Lawsuit against the Raiders? We have no money.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:27 pm
somebody help him with those fucn papers.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:27 pm
Tommy Cable brough wrath upon the Raider organization because of his treatment of women.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Kamikaze allowed in the building and getting the business from the old man!
Classic! LOL
January 18th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
It said in his contract that he could not beat up women.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
wtf is he saying the tom was beating on his wife while he was our headcoach
January 18th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
nooooooooooooooooo they stopped the stream wtf it was just gettin good…
January 18th, 2011 at 2:29 pm

Pretty classless, Al.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Oh oh Cable brought hoes with him on road trips.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
The coachcan’t have a booty call on the road? Or is he saying Cable was havingaffairs on the road?
January 18th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
cable brought his biatch with him so he could slap her around on the road.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Slutz or Klutz?
January 18th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Someone tell Al he’s got a phone call or something please.Get him off the stage please.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Agreed KK,and unnecessary.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
Cable was a BUM!
January 18th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
If I was Cable I would back off because it sounds like Al would win if it went to an arbitrator.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! I HATE AL,BUT HE IS GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!
January 18th, 2011 at 2:33 pm
I’m sorry guys but it seems Al is right on this one.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Get the camera off Al’s hands,Damn it.

Seriously Al does not look good..I had a neighbor that looked like that and did’nt make it through the next year.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
wow, that was a new low, even for Al. Cable is gonna have a slander case against him.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
I went from being very eager to being worried for Hue J….
January 18th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
If Al can’t say much because of the legalese he then should just end the press conference.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Cable what a weasel!!! I love Al making kawakmai repeat his name over and over
January 18th, 2011 at 2:35 pm
Thats what happens when you file a greivance against Al….you get put in your place.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:35 pm
This is petty and without class.Stop it Al please.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:36 pm
Al lowers the BOOM on old Cabes…
the old guy has still got it!
January 18th, 2011 at 2:36 pm
Al, you’ve got 6 playoff appearances in 20 years.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:36 pm
Before our home opener (and I’ve said this before), I bumped into Cable on Market street…his smoking hot Russian prostitute had him sweating like a priest at altarboy.com.
Don’t blame him for having being with that broad, but I couldn’t believe dude was chilling with a hooker at 5pm the day before our home opener.
Chucky would’ve been up until 5am prepping for a game.
Says a lot.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:36 pm
Tom Cable has been in football 20 years and has only been on 3 winning teams. He said he didn’t like Cable saying that we are not losers anymore when he finished the season 8-8.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:38 pm
hue could care less about all this, his main concern is BUILDING A BULLY, FUC YEAH!!!!!!!
January 18th, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Is Hue still sitting there for all of this?
January 18th, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Cable took a chic on road trips behind his wife, then he beat her down? These clowns on this bpard wanted cable to stay. laughable
January 18th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
Damn! I should have went to the local dive to see this..
Sounds like Al is dropping some napalm at this presser…
January 18th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
He’s staring a hole into kawakami’s Mullet!
January 18th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
omg kawakami is getting owned by Al….
January 18th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
Al doesn’t want this conference to end.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
were very bad at back ground checks, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

January 18th, 2011 at 2:43 pm
It will probably be on Raiders.com after it has been censored and propaganda up.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:43 pm
ive never laughed so hard at watching a press conference
January 18th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
“we are very bad at background checks” That has to be the defining quote from this presser. Get some more staff Al.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
Al showed Shane the money. Lol
January 18th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
he just went after shane… lmaooo
January 18th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
what is Al implying that Cable invited people over before the games???
January 18th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
After Al cursed up that staffer he is afraid now to end this conference.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Lechler getting owned.
Al just laid law.
I hate Gwen Knapp…hope Al gives her leprosy.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
What’s Hue thinking sitting there?
January 18th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
This is almost as good as the Kiffin presser! Actually, this might be better!
January 18th, 2011 at 2:46 pm
That looks like a nasty crack on Davis’ skull.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:46 pm
wait one moment gwen, your going to fast for me, cable reach down there and slap the schyt out of her. oh hes gone.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:46 pm

January 18th, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Boring stadium questions? Keep on with the good stuff! Oh, Al just slammed his own kid!

thats all folks
January 18th, 2011 at 2:54 pm
We are goging to kick a$$ next year!!! Cant wait for hu to bring his guys in. I think next year we will go to a multiple defense not just man to man. i think the man to man edict is in play when the d coordinator fails. marshall couldnt get it done and he is gone. i want winstson moss, studied under dom capers for 4 years now. he can namdi by citing what they did with woodson.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:54 pm
Damn, I wish that would have gone on another hour or two.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:55 pm
From here on out Jerry should be forever known as “THE JER”!!

January 18th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
Now the really fun begins, when the reporters have a “casual” conversation with Al after the presser.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
They might actually look to hire Winston Moss as DC now that Pagano may be out of the picture.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Jer for GM.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Al has still got it,
set the tone for the Hue Era and
managed to blow up Cable and Kawakami
on the way out…
brilliant
January 18th, 2011 at 2:58 pm
that was a o.k. to watch.
January 18th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Do the people at CSN not realize that the camera is on at their office?
January 18th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Man, at first Al seemed off his game….kind of lethargic, almost slurring words, but he really seemed to warm up and he started sounding lucid about the time he threw the Tom Cable bomb lol
That was great!
January 18th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
They might actually look to hire Winston Moss as DC now that Pagano may be out of the picture.

is Winston Moss under contract after this season?
last time the Packers denied the Raiders permission to interview him for anything other than Head Coach …
January 18th, 2011 at 3:00 pm
The camera is always on.

January 18th, 2011 at 3:00 pm

He could have brought Jer and a few other into his office, and gave them the background off air.
Just Al trying to settle another score.

I lost the feed just as he started to bash him.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:03 pm
Al was on for this performance. Prepared and ready to eat some red meat. He looks terrible physically but he was mentally very shape today. He IS the boss, make no mistake about that.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:03 pm
I used to think mr was the resident tool of the post, nope it is Kelly.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:03 pm

Al was shooting SHOTS
January 18th, 2011 at 3:03 pm
I missed the segment on Cable. Sounds like I missed the best part.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:04 pm
Al very unhappy with the defense, with the exception of the line play. I dont think he offers Nnamdi much money. Nnamdi has been a great player for us, but Al seems to realize that the defense has been terrible for many years.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:04 pm

—”The Gaston Gazette’s Steve Reed speculates that free agent QB Billy Volek could be an option for the Panthers in 2011. Both of the primary newspapers covering the team believe the Panthers will bring in a veteran QB as a fallback option to Jimmy Clausen. Volek makes sense because he worked with new offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski in San Diego the past two years. While the 35-year-old is no team’s idea of a QB solution, he’s at least capable of moving an offense down the field. We can’t say the same for Clausen”—
CRAP! Al davis you old dumb fool, Volek is your Plunkett, I’ve been saying this for nearly a year now!
January 18th, 2011 at 3:12 pm

January 18th, 2011 at 3:15 pm
Jhill,
I want to review the presser, but I think he was implying that Cable was getting booty calls during road games when he said that Cable took his accuser on road games and flew in “friends” so they could be with them the night before the game.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Can you imagin Old Kelly tryin to speak to Al Davis? It would be like Pee Wee tryin to talk to Mike Tyson!
January 18th, 2011 at 3:20 pm
Tom tolbert is doing a heck of an impression on Al DAvis on KNBR right now. Hilarious!!!!
I know Barbieri is a Raider hater but Tommy is funny as hell.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:20 pm
Al slammed his own son. Someone asked about how or if Mark was being groomed for the job, and Al just said “I wish you’d ask him!”
Maybe the team will go to Herrera?
January 18th, 2011 at 3:21 pm
Jhill…
Al seemed to say that he asked Cable if there were any other women.Cable said no only for another women to come forward.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:21 pm

January 18th, 2011 at 3:22 pm
Highlights:
1. References to “Kim” Newton
2. Saying “Who?” everytime Kawakami asked a question
3. Telling his employee that “you f#cked up”
4. Calling Jerry Mac “Jer”
5. Implying that Cable brought “ladies” on the road
6. Referring to Oakland has a “depressed area”
7. The rant about a secret, temporary GM

Why do people trash Al Davis yet still want to be Raiders a fan? Doesn’t make sense. You want things your way, buy your own team.

a j3w might love his ford, but that does not mean he likes the antisemitic views Henry Ford had, now does that make sense to you??

The only thing Al didn’t get into was that crack on his skull.
—————————————–
He’ll cover that in the post-presser comments
That’s where the REAL comedy gold comes out

Al+The Raider Nation = RAIDERS
January 18th, 2011 at 3:33 pm
Al actually mentioned the word fans and how the org needs their support. I think he really wants to win again.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:33 pm
Who was the secret GM, why was it a secret and why is he no longer working for the Raiders? These are haunting questions. Jerry Mac needs to get to work digging this information up.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:34 pm
The GM was Jerr!
January 18th, 2011 at 3:35 pm
The secret GM was Al having fun with the media. Now everyone will be trying to figure out who he was..
January 18th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Is Jerry EVER gonna get off his butt and post the Press Conference highlights???
January 18th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Pagano is out of the picture now.
Winston Moss?

Prior to 1989, maybe, since it has been, The Nation + Coaches + Players = RAIDERS

someone needs to put press conference on youtube
January 18th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Jerr is down on 84th chasin the skunk.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:40 pm
all in all seems like hue jack has a vision and a plan.’bout penalties ‘i don’t except negative plays’ said gruden taught him alot at uop. challenges his players to play at a high level .al seems to sound as if he wants to build a dominating defense,with 17 million dollars saved .
January 18th, 2011 at 3:41 pm
Al did a good job with damage control explaining why Cable is no longer the coach. He kind of painted a picture of Cable that isn’t all “rah rah” and that he had his favorites.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:41 pm
So because I can’t stand Al and most Raider fans, that means I can’t be a Raider fan?

I hate these knbr clowns instead of talking about hu jack they are ripping davis for the cable part of the presser. Ralph and Tom noted raider haters, so are the media guys they are interviewing
January 18th, 2011 at 3:47 pm

wish list , draft: c ,olb with size and speed . cover cb. free agency : vincent jack(sign him al)left guard, right tackle. and of course our very own seymore, huff,wimbley, miller
January 18th, 2011 at 3:48 pm
So can anybody provide a link to the presser in it’s entirety. From the local feed or something.
NFLN lamely switched right after Hu Jax was announced. They went back to the same ol loop of crap they’d been playing for an hour before the presser.
Sounds like I missed all the good stuff w/ the reporters.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:49 pm
So CAble was having coke orgies and beating his women?
He really was one of the Nation
January 18th, 2011 at 3:49 pm
Cable will be living in his car again soon.
January 18th, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Where does this rank when it comes to Al’s pressers?
I think this is still behind the overhead projector
January 18th, 2011 at 3:52 pm
press conference will be re-aired at 10pm cali time on csnbayarea.com
January 18th, 2011 at 3:53 pm
we need our own flagship station so we don’t have to listen to suckers like murph and mac ,ralph and tom ,broks and fitz they all suck.

January 18th, 2011 at 3:57 pm
A lot of interesting quotes from Al. Paticular interesting quote about although I would like to bring back nami I can use that Namndi money and get 4 or 5 great players.

Nope. If he didn’t like the maker, why would he support him by buying his product? The more it doesn’t make sense. It becomes hypocritical.
January 18th, 2011 at 4:02 pm
Al doesnt back away from anyone. The presser ended and he brought everyone back so that he can explain his Cable decision. He really didnt have to. Everyone was leaving.

because he likes the car, thats why… product and maker isnt the same thing… just like the raiders are the team we love, and Al is pathetic in the view of some…
if your dad is an 1diot, but you are a nice guy, shouldnt people still be friends with you? (not that Im saying he or you are any of these things)
January 18th, 2011 at 4:15 pm
DAMN…
Just missed lucking on #909….
January 18th, 2011 at 4:16 pm
al made it clear who the qb is , build him a good line bring in vince jack = unstoppable offense.
January 18th, 2011 at 4:23 pm
Called Cable going to Seattle. He’s from there and figured Carroll would want someone to permanently take over since the great Alex Gibbs bounced before the season

Product and maker may not be the same. But if there is no maker there will be no product. But still why would you buy a product from someone you hate?
If my father were an 1diot(as you mentioned) and I were a nice guy(not that I’m saying he nor I are any of these things), I wouldn’t not want to be friends with nor trust anyone who would not respect him, even if he’s an 1diot.
You say the raiders are the team you love. The raider team does not always have the same players every year. If they leave do you follow each of them to the next team? If not, why not? Are you a fan of the brand?
A lot of negativity begin with the raider “fans” and then the haters build on it.
January 18th, 2011 at 4:42 pm
The transformation is now complete. After seeing the state of Al’s hands, it is now apparent. Al is now E.T.
Okay, Spielberg, lighten up on the closeups.
January 18th, 2011 at 4:51 pm
In regard to Steve Corkran’s article Al cryptically referred to when addressing the five things that went well in ‘10.
Guess he forgot about the five bad things. Charitably (screws up the punchline) that’s why we all gather here today. . .
January 18th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Hue Jack has to hire a “mini-me.”
January 18th, 2011 at 5:03 pm
Y’all know that as soon as Al dispatched Cable he has nowhere else to go other than home.
I live in this area. Now all the women folk will be in an uproar.
On second thought not all that bad a thing. . .
January 18th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
I liked when Al’s bad eye opened up when he said “We’re not losers anymore?” You guys called it, Al defenitly did not like that comment from Cable.
