NFP: Jones will visit Raiders
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, April 18th, 2011 at 1:04 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Eastern Washington running back Taiwan Jones, whose eye-opening 40-yard dash times appeared to boost his draft stock, will visit the Raiders, according to a story in the National Football Post.
Jones was timed between 4.28 and 4.35 in two 40-yard dash attempts Thursday in a Pro Day workout at Los Medanos College in Pittsburg that was attended by Raiders running backs coach Kelly Skipper and a member of the team’s personnel staff.
Jones said afterward he didn’t have anything set up with the Raiders, but that he’d talked with the on the phone and at the scouting combine.
Skipper and Jones had a brief, private conversation before the assistant coach left the workout.
Running back isn’t considered a position of need with Darren McFadden, Rock Cartwright and Michael Bennett already under contract and Michael Bush a potential free agent who was offered a first- and third-round tender.
Jones, however, has the kind of speed coveted by Raiders owner Al Davis.
According to the Post, San Francisco and Miami will also host Jones.
Both the 49ers and Dolphins were at the Los Medanos workout, which were represented by 27 teams. Forty-Niners running backs coach Tom Rathman was involved in putting Jones through drills, at one point getting assistance from Skipper. Also at the workout was 49ers personnel executive Tom Gamble.
The 49ers are hosting a Pro Day for local athletes at their facility Thursday. Jones was planning to attend but not work out.
No plans for a Raiders Pro Day have been made public.
Judging from various scouting reports, Jones would likely be available to the Raiders with their second-round pick at No. 48, but could be gone by the time they pick in the third round at No. 81.
Coaches and scouts were impressed that Jones had gained 18 pounds and was up to 196 pounds with no loss of speed. Jones’ agent, Doug Hendrickson, said he estimated Jones was “90 percent” healed from late-season surgery to repair a fractured fifth metatarsal sustained late in the season.

April 18th, 2011 at 1:43 pm
MB’s got a lot of nerve accusing people of being pederasts when he’s a Republican. They’re the party of little boys.

Taiwan Jones has blazing speed and better hands than DHB.
we might as well draft him at #48 and call him the next Danny Woodhead!
April 18th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
LOL!
Anyway, the Raiders have too many needs at OL, WR and defense. I hope they pass on this fleet footed running back.

You think the Raiders would be drafting Taiwan to play receiver?
Wouldn’t surprise me…drafting players to play a different position is not unique here
April 18th, 2011 at 2:54 pm
What Davis never seems to understand is, most track guys don’t like contact.
April 18th, 2011 at 2:55 pm
Frankly I’ve never heard of Taiwan Jones until Jerry mentioned him the other day. Since then however, he’s been getting lot’s of national pub on ESPN and NFLN.
Charlie Casserly gave the guy a 3rd rd grade the other day. The draft guide I have says he could move up into the 2nd with impressive workouts. Mission accomplished.
No way do I want Oakland to use their 2nd or 3rd on this guy though. They have too many other, more pressing needs IMO.
The only way I could see AD considering using a high pick on this kid is if they think DMac’s season ending and unfortunately recurring bout of turf toe is somehow chronic and possibly career threatening.
April 18th, 2011 at 2:55 pm
Man, DHB is going to break out this season! I am projecting a 20 TD season…..I meant a 20 reception season! oooo yeah!
April 18th, 2011 at 2:56 pm

For those that keep laughing at Taiwan Jones, you don’t rise this fast in the draft without some serious skills this kid is getting attention like he’s Scarlett Johanssen walking naked in a group 50 year old men.
His film must be box office smash type stuff, When I think of Chrs Johnson of Tenn he was being talked about like this kid near the draft. But 3 months earlier before he ran 4.24 people didn’t even know who he was. This kid is biult very similar and when you run a 4.28 coming off a foot injury that tells fully healthy he’s low 4.2’s. He’s a great ST’s kid as well with great hands I saw him in the interview on Chronicle Live he catch’s the ball very well.
If we did draft him #48 I wouldn’t blink kids like this kid are very rare. He’s a legit 6′ tall 195 that’s Tim Brown size with James Jett speed. Can he make the transition to WR? if so sign me up.
April 18th, 2011 at 3:39 pm

Yea they still doing run outs at the Denny’s.. Id run out after eating that food myself it has to be the worst Denny’s in the United States.
April 18th, 2011 at 3:42 pm
BHP as i said earlier raiders need a 3rd back who is smaller than dmac n bush and have great quickness or elusiveness like kevin fauulk. Thats why i was pissed we cut Louis Rankin and kept trash like Farglass around. But at 48? Hell no. Get an oL or dl guy
April 18th, 2011 at 3:43 pm

Taiwan Jones
Scouts won’t like the fact he missed games with an “abdominal contusion” and foot injury this year – in addition to being nicked up with hip, hand, shoulder injuries in 2009 and sitting out with a broken leg in 2008. He also fumbled 18 times the past three seasons (17 in 2009-2010), losing eight (seven). That sort of injury track record and lack of ball security won’t sit well with teams, who know the hits will come much harder and faster at the next level. -

April 18th, 2011 at 3:53 pm
Drafting a guy with fumbling and injury issues, from a nowhere school at #48 is such an unnecessary reach.
If he wants a super-fast guy, there is the two guys from the combine (Lockette and someone else) that Al can feast on in the 6th or 7th round.
Please get some freaking VALUE at #48.
Taiwan Jones, is not value.
April 18th, 2011 at 3:55 pm
“The stat guys are idiots. I mean it very strongly.”
– CBS analyst Phil Simms, to The Big Lead.
Simms was asked about a stat I had in this column recently, quoting Mel Kiper saying Blaine Gabbert had completed 44 percent of his throws on third down at Missouri last fall, while Andrew Luck was 71 percent on third down at Stanford. The inference being, of course, that not only was Luck a better prospect but also, seemingly, better on the most important down, which some might take to mean he’s a better clutch player. If you’re 27 percentage points better on third down, it’s a brick in the wall (to me, anyway) that you’re a better quarterback than the much-lesser guy on third down. A brick in the wall, I might add — not incontrovertible proof.
This, apparently, made Simms go volcanic for some reason. I’ll leave the emphasis the way The Big Lead wrote it for the rest of Simms’ quote about third-down efficiency for quarterbacks: “That means nothing. I could not care less. My face gets red thinking about that stat. WHO CARES! Well get him out of there on third down! Keep him in on first and second down! You’re not drafting his college coach or his college team. You’re drafting Blaine Gabbert. These numbers … why do I need numbers? … Believe what your eye tells you. I have never looked at one quarterback ever on tape through all the years and then when it’s done, I have never even thought, ‘What were his numbers?’ I never have. It has never even crossed my mind.”

Bauce I don’t disagree at all because I haven’t seen the film on him. All I’m saying is I wanted Chris Johnson over DMC the Staff wouldn’t listen and drafted DMC I think they regret to this day. They could’ve traded down got OLT and CJ. If you can get a similar player cheap I’m all for it. To hell with need!! great players help you win championships. If this kid can help on teams and play rec. with Ford on the field and DMC. I’m on board right now!!
We could draft a OT at #48 and the guy ends up a bust and will have passed on a dominant talent. Great players ALWAYS trump need…………..period
April 18th, 2011 at 3:58 pm

You are so full of BS, TJ.
You admitted you don’t have any connections with the Raiders.
that you don’t work for the Raiders.
That you just know someone who works for the organization, likely in janitorial.
So why make that silly comment?

Ten Things I Think I Think
Cam Newton accounted for all four Auburn touchdowns (3 passing, 1 running) in an improbable comeback over rival Alabama.
Getty Images
1. I think I still have some of the same questions about whether Cam Newton’s going to be a great quarterback in the NFL. But I was talking to a veteran NFL coach the other day who crystallized something for me. “Cam Newton was down 24-0 at Alabama, in a game against one of the great defensive minds [Nick Saban] in football, in one of the toughest places to play in all of football, with the national championship on the line for his school, and he came back to win it. That’s not one of the best performances of the year. It’s got to be one of the best performances by a college quarterback ever.”
Add these two things: 101,000 screaming fans, 90 percent of them anti-Auburn; and the pressures of playing with the NCAA investigation of his father allegedly asking for money for Newton to enroll after his 2009 junior-college season. The PA played “Take the Money and Run,” by the Steve Miller Band, in pregame warmups, and when Newton came out of the tunnel, fans threw monopoly money at him. That’s one heck of a day to have on a quarterback résumé.

April 18th, 2011 at 7:06 pm
gotta agree with KoolKell. Lil Wiz fills a need more than Taiwan Jones and his fast 40x.
If Al Davis falls in love with this kid, he will be a Raider with that #48 pick and moved to wide receiver
April 18th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
I think Wiz would be better suited for the ZBS.
His strengths are his pass-protection and his quick feet.
Weakness is his strength and ability to wall off the big boys on running plays.
Sounds like Cooper Carlisle!!!
April 18th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
JFB,
Your assessment is probably right. I don’t know much about Wiz or any of the rookies. Not really follwing the draft that much this year. No 1st round pick….
I just hope the Raiders don’t waste their top picks on fleet footed players that lack real PRODUCTION on the field.
Save the fleet of foot, limited stats/background, for the 4th and 5th rounds…
But then again its the Raiders. and that’s what makes it both fun and extremely frustrating
April 18th, 2011 at 8:17 pm

April 18th, 2011 at 8:27 pm

April 18th, 2011 at 8:31 pm
i cant believe how so many people overreact to the most pointless bs in here. we worked out a rb like all teams should do. we have no idea where this guy will get drafted so if he does slip later in the draft at least we will have some info on him. u guys act as if every player we bring in will get drafted by us.
April 18th, 2011 at 8:32 pm
Of course he is TJ, just making a comparison between a speedster and a speedster that is a footballer…

Armond my man with the voice of reason. It’s crazy 4 days ago we were drafting Jimmy Smith. Then Kaepernick it’s par for the course in here. Especially if the guy runs fast.
April 18th, 2011 at 8:35 pm
It doesn’t matter about the draft so much this year. The key to the Raiders success is the players that are on the roster now.
The QB and OC being together another year.
The WRs stepping up and playing to potential
The Front 7 simply manning up and not tolerating p&ss poor run defense
DMAC and Bush carrying 2010 into 2011

DHB does have to step it up this year.
All the receivers on this team have played with the same “challenges”…..
JFord came in and demanded to play a role on this team. He made himself a factor.
Louis Murphy, even with his growing pains, has provided some production.
DHB has to at least perform to these guys level. We can’t have receivers going entire games with 0 or 1 catch and be starting
April 18th, 2011 at 8:43 pm
But Thec07 you should know that if they draft this kid it’s because he’s really special and they can get him cheap. It’s not just because he runs fast. There are so many speed merchants that never get drafted so speed alone does not get you drafted BY ANYONE. You have to have something on film.
Very few people know it but James Jett wasn’t drafted by us he was signed as FA came to camp and made the cut. Cliff Branch was drafted in the 6th rnd Ford in the 4th. DHB has tremendous potential he was ranked by everyone as a 1st rnd pick. We just took him too high………….period
April 18th, 2011 at 8:53 pm
I’ll explain what I see happening to DHB, at this point in his career he is having a lot of trouble with the physicality at this level. He to easily affected by corners who get physical with him and the next guy sees it on film and does the same thing. Once he figures out how to beat the jam and return physicality with physicality he’ll start to get open and make plays.
He loses his concentration trying to beat the jam and gets knocked off his routes to easy. By the time he makes the adjustment the ball is on him. He has to learn how to beat that stay focused run the route clean as regular as he can to get the trust of his QB. Then he has too make the play. Once he starts finishing the play the QB will start to trust him. That’s when he can start to demand the ball and his #’s will be much more representative of his talent.
The problem is all that takes time and hard work fans like myself get frustrated with him. He is on his way it’s just hard to tell because of the lack of production. By year 4 he’s should take off.
April 18th, 2011 at 8:53 pm
priest u here how these mofos jumped all on me on tittle’s show 2day cuz i said i want kaepernick with our 1rst pick? he is the only qb i would pass up a dlineman for that early cuz i think he is that special. all this talk of getting a qb in the later rounds to play with is garbage. i want a star not some damn kid to “play” with. it makes no sense to do that cuz u could wait until next year and get a better qb prospect in the 1rst or 2nd rnd. campbell isnt good enuff to make me pass on a talent like kap.
April 18th, 2011 at 8:55 pm
id like to see us trade down from 48 and take a chance that someone will overreact to get him or another qb. we could get more picks like last year and if colin is still available then u take him and laugh all the way to the bank. we need to end this qb misery now.
April 18th, 2011 at 9:00 pm
TJ, was this you perhaps?
For example, after practice it is customary for him to enter the equipment room, drop a towel on the floor and wait for an employee to clean his shoes. “I saw him make someone wipe his shoes in front of 75 people,” says Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, who coached the Raiders in 1988 and was fired four games into the ‘89 season.

Noe as far as Ford is concerned he is going to see a completely different NFL next year, so he has get TWICE as good as he was last year. Or they’ll take him out of the offense and force the ball elsewhere. They are going to get very physical with him. But it’s harder with Ford because he’s so short and quick and strong. It’s very difficult to jam a short rec. so he has advantages DHB does not. Also he has one advantage over DHB always he is ultra competitive DHB is a thinker, Ford just wants to beat you…………period

April 18th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
The list of those vanquished by Davis is extensive. In recent years his treatment of two employees in particular—popular trainer George Anderson and future Hall of Fame running back Marcus Allen—damaged team morale. Anderson, who had been with the Raiders since 1960, three years before Davis arrived as coach and general manager, says he was forced to retire in 1994 for refusing to do a television interview condemning a book written by former team physician Robert Huizenga. In the book Huizenga said Davis and the coaching staff pressured team doctors to clear injured players to return to action too soon. Five years earlier Huizenga had successfully treated Anderson’s wife of 42 years for Hodgkin’s disease. “The word loyalty is bandied about much too casually in the Raiders’ organization,” Anderson says. “For Al Davis, loyalty means, ‘You be loyal to me. I’ll think about being loyal to you.’ ”

In the old days they used to do it all the time. I see now happening again, the refs are betting.
April 18th, 2011 at 9:16 pm
Sources who were part of the team say that in the late 1980s and early ’90s Davis ordered Raiders coaches to limit Allen’s playing time, often in favor of far less effective runners. Steve Smith and others say that Davis sometimes ordered that quarterbacks not throw the ball to Allen. “The other players had heard so much about this ‘family’ thing, but then we saw what happened to Marcus,” says Ronnie Lott, who played safety for the Raiders in 1991 and ‘92. “All of a sudden, the guy who was Mr. Raider wasn’t part of the family. We wondered, How can you not play your best player?”

I had the NBA league pass, and watched a ton of hoops this year.
The level to which refs are biased to the home team is beyond ridiculous.
You would see the Warriors on the road send Kevin Love to FT line 25 times, than a week later in Oakland, he doesn’t even score 10 points, and we played the same type of defense.
It is so obvious, they have to do something about it.
April 18th, 2011 at 10:09 pm
Priesttj,
DHB has to use some of his physicality too. He’s some 6′2 215lbs. He should be able to match up.
Jacoby Ford was a player this year. I think he can keep it up. Hopefully he watches some film of Steve Smith in his heyday.
The key for this receiving corps, short of a free agent signing, is Chaz Schilens staying healthy. He’s the only guy that has demonstrated the ability to be the move the chains guy.
April 18th, 2011 at 10:10 pm
DHB issues is that he is not a natural pass-catcher.
Almost all his catches are with him at a near dead-stop, facing the QB with his back to the defense.
At this stage, with his size and inability to catch while on the run, he seems like more of a possesion type WR with some YAC potential, than some type of down the field threat who will catch deep throws over a defender.
Remember the Jax game? Money time play, single coverage, and a great throw from Soup.
And DHB looked like Pat Burrell out in LF trying to run down a foul ball.

DHB’s shortcomings were well understood when Roger Goodell uttered the words “with the 7th pick the Raiders select” so I hope the Raider coaches are drilling whatever it takes to get this guy up to speed.
My big complaint isn’t so much DHBs slow start…its that he’s having a slow start while getting all these reps.
The offense has to have faith in this guy or the offense will be playing with a hand behind its back again.
If he struggles, they have to limit his snaps until he gets it. The passing game needs more consistency
April 18th, 2011 at 10:27 pm
SNB
Yeah, as much playing time as he’s had, he should be farther along.
April 18th, 2011 at 10:32 pm
How do you draft a WR at #7 who catches the football like a little girl?
Even Al Davis should have been able to see that.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:29 pm
If both are available with the 2nd pick, who should Da Raiders draft?
Jake Locker
Colin Kaepernick?
April 18th, 2011 at 11:37 pm
And I was just reading some posts of TJ and you would swear he’s the team Therapist/Personal Trainer the way he *knows these guys.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:56 pm
If we draft this guy at #48 then I have lost what little faith I’ve gained in Davis since last year’s draft. This would be a pick of pure stupidity. Both Bush and DMAC are 1000x better than this guy. I’m ok with getting him in the 6th or 7th , anything else, no thanks. If we want to go to the playoffs, then we need to stop drafting people like this guy. Not a position of need is an understaement. We have have one of the best RBs in the game. Drafting him with our first pick would be tantamount to the Colts trading up to #1 for Blain Gabbert or Cam Newton. It just does’nt make any sense. PLease don’t do it AL! Draft The best O-Lineman on the board and then take Casey Mathews. After that you can take all the track stars you want, but first let’s adress some positions of need so we can make the playoffs for a change. Position of need means that whoever is in that position right now SUCKS. Getting another track star that will hardly get any playing time at all will not change the fact that the people in our positions of need STILL SUCK.
April 19th, 2011 at 12:00 am
Raider 510, I would take Locker if we had to take a QB and they were both available. Kaepernick is a 2nd round qb in any draft. If Locker would have come out after his JR year, then he would’ve been the #1 pick because Bradford had injury concerns coming out. LOcker Is an excellent QB who had a shakey Sr. season do to losing talent via graduation/NFL draft, and nagging injuries. Locker is a beast.
April 19th, 2011 at 12:01 am

Red Sox are 0-6 on the road, and sending out Lackey who has a 15+ ERA.

JFB…
which soccer game is that? between who?
and good morning to you too
April 19th, 2011 at 6:03 am
Good Morning Nation!!!
Taiwan Jones, huh? Hey, could always use a track team, right?
April 19th, 2011 at 6:04 am
JFB…
I will never get why someone would like baseball, semi-fat guys hitting a ball while the spectators are sitting on their flat arse for 4 hours eating hotdogs!?!
well I guess im not supposed to like it then? as many others dont care for proper motor-sports..
BTW regarding soccer clubgames are way better than national games..
1) champions league is the best
Superliga (Denmark)
2) european league is great
3) La Liga (Spain)
4) Premier league (England)
5) Bundes Liga (Germany)
6) Seria A (Italy)
7) 2nd Bundes Liga (Germany)
9) Ehe division (Holland)
10) National games.. besides European cup and world cup and qualification games of course…
personally i skip point 5,6,7 and 9…
besides soccer there is Formula One and Moto GP, so Im covered in the sports department =)
and of course club games are better they play 33-60 games per year where as some national teams are lucky if they get to play 8-12 games pr year..

Baseball is the superior sport, where size does not matter.
Spindly, 170 pound Tim Lincecum last night made a collection of great athletes look like high-schoolers.
April 19th, 2011 at 6:51 am
I have always believed that Mallet will get picked by the Redskins. They may try to trade down, but he just seems like a Shanahan type of guy.
People try to say this is a bad QB draft class, but it may end up that 5 QB’s go in the first 40 picks, and two in the first 5 overall.
April 19th, 2011 at 6:54 am
You know what? Good Morning to you all, but F Lincecum! How are you guys Giants fans on a Raider blog!
Well, whatevers…to each its own…and please don’t tell me that its a Bay Area thing….because if that’s true, then we will like the 9ers too!
Sorry JFB, not ripping on you but it is disgusting how all of a sudden all these people are wearing Giants gear! Where da heck were all of them when they weren’t doing good? I know every team has bandwagoners, but come on now!
April 19th, 2011 at 6:54 am
JFB..
well thank you for answering LOL =)
April 19th, 2011 at 7:01 am
Sorry guys….that was my rant for the day…don’t take it personally! DAMMIT!!! Give us a season of football please!!!
April 19th, 2011 at 7:05 am
I assume its Newcastle vs Man U… well Newcastle have lost the last 3 games and Man U lost to City last week, so they both need the win, though Newcastle need it way more than Man U, and they probably wont be able to get away alive…
April 19th, 2011 at 7:06 am
Hwnrdr…
rants are always welcome =)
April 19th, 2011 at 7:06 am
Hey I hate bandwagoners, but I am not one.
After 20 years of being teased by friends and family, I’m enacting a little revenge. And I live over 1,000 miles away so that Bay Area stuff doesn’t mean as much to me anymore.
April 19th, 2011 at 7:06 am
well I have to go get my book.. ‘Flashman and the Redskins’
April 19th, 2011 at 7:08 am
But hey, I am always up to see a 49er QB get the crap kicked out of him.
One of the true joys in life.
April 19th, 2011 at 7:09 am
Yeah I think I knew that as you probably mentioned it on here before, JFB. That is why I mentioned that I am not ripping you. I respect fans who stick by there team! Hey my dad is a Giants and Niners fan, but I tell him the same thing…F Lincecum! LOL
April 19th, 2011 at 7:26 am
I’m thinking we will get at least one primetime game this year.
I am going to say 2. An early season MNF game in Oakland (maybe the late game of the season opener) and a Thursday night road game on NFLN later in the year.
April 19th, 2011 at 7:38 am
you don’t think that we’ll get the season opener against Green Bay? I don’t know…I just have this funny feeling…
April 19th, 2011 at 7:38 am
G’mornin fellas…Hwnrdr, Vegas,
That’s what I’m thinking, too. It’ll be good to see the Silver&Black back on the national stage. Raiders vs. Broncos was a MNF staple for damn near 40 years. I’m thinking one of Oak-KC games will be nationally televised. Coming off of last season I think they are ready for primetime.
Those season opening MNF doubleheaders are a lil rough for us Raider fans in the EST. They’ve done em twice now and the game doesn’t end til well after 1:30 am.
Not complaning though. You have to be prepared to make some sacrafices, right? To suffer for your passions.lol.
April 19th, 2011 at 7:57 am
I guess we’ll find out tonight at 7:00 et.
I’ve always looked forward to the release of the upcoming schedule, right before the draft. It’s another rite of spring, I guess.
There’s a humorous lil story about the release of the league schedule in Huizenga’s book that was referenced in one of Kell’s earlier posts.
The schedule just came out an AD was grumbling about the league trying to stick it to his Raiders. I believe they had to open on the road the first two weeks against the Giants and Broncos. Two Super Bowl contenders.
Huizenga said he just stood there listening to Al, not knowing exactly what to say..when Davis gave him a dismissive..Aww you wouldn’t understand. Dr. Robert H. said he just thought to himself..yeah, I’m a physician who made it through medical school, and my father was a nuclear physicist who worked on the Manhattan project, yet I’m not smart enough to understand the complexities of the vast conspiracies the league has against you. OK.
I thought it was an intertesting glimpse inside the Raider org. Kinda funny.

With the schedule being released today, assuming there is a season, what home game is the Nation most looking forward to?? I’m guessing those bagga-la-doucha Patriots!! Hopefully we play them in early October so I can make my annual trip to be with all of you crazy MFs in person!!

Not Quite Buckeye,
The list of those vanquished by Davis is extensive. In recent years his treatment of two employees in particular—popular trainer George Anderson and future Hall of Fame running back Marcus Allen—damaged team morale. Anderson, who had been with the Raiders since 1960, three years before Davis arrived as coach and general manager, says he was forced to retire in 1994 for refusing to do a television interview condemning a book written by former team physician Robert Huizenga. In the book Huizenga said Davis and the coaching staff pressured team doctors to clear injured players to return to action too soon. Five years earlier Huizenga had successfully treated Anderson’s wife of 42 years for Hodgkin’s disease. “The word loyalty is bandied about much too casually in the Raiders’ organization,” Anderson says. “For Al Davis, loyalty means, ‘You be loyal to me. I’ll think about being loyal to you.’ ”

=======================
Hatchet job.
First, I wonder who wrote this? There are several at SI who openly loathe Al Davis and hence all things Raider.
NFLN has those top ten shows with a writer from SI stating flat out that he would not vote for certain HOF candidates because they were Raiders.
Secondly, How many thousands of employees do you think Mr. Davis and the Raider organization have been thru over the last half century or so?
There are bound to be the odd man who either falls thru the cracks or feels under aprreciated.
I could be wrong but it seems to me Oakland is one of the BEST teams as far as former employees go (unless you’ve been a HC who wasn’t named Madden or Flores). There are alot of former players wandering the halls and sidelines.
Thirdly, Marcus Allen? Catch the interviews of Allen’s take.
That spoiled California brat was offered a contract that would make him the highest paid RB in history and spit in Davis’ face.
He was an A hole. GD him for being great enough to have gotten away with it for the most part.
Davis’ beef with Allen is like his beefs with most other people. Instead of taking the high road he takes some bidness personal and it makes them both look bad.
April 19th, 2011 at 11:57 am
LOL. Yeah, SI loathes all things Raiders. Hmmm, is that why I have a SI issue from 2000 with a picture of Gannon and co. on the front, and the article talks about the Raiders being one of the best teams in the league? Good ole, You are brainwashed by a pro football team’s press releases. That’s not good.
April 19th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Huzeinga’s book is pretty good, btw. It won’t sway team loyalists, but it offers up some pretty good ammo for Al haters like me and Kell, lol. In any other profession Al Davis would be in prison, along with what’s left of Dr. Roesenthal.
April 19th, 2011 at 12:06 pm

As we distanced ourselves from his abysmal performances against Tenn, St Lou, SF, KC, and Pitt it became easier to forget.
As we get closer to 2011, many are still in denial or trying to convince themselves that maybe, just maybe, he can elevate his game and take the Raiders to the next level.
And then suddenly, opening day will be upon us, and the realization will hit the Nation like a ton of bricks.
By midseason, the fans will be clamoring for a change, even if there’s really no one better on the roster.
And we’ll all be wondering how good this team could be if it had a decent QB.
Every effort must be made to get a viable alternative and solidify the position.
Get a QB, Al.
JaJason sucks.

I posted based on interviews and stated facts. Clearly you never even bothere4d to read it in your haste to fire back with that “No you are” gem.
TRUTH. There are writers for SI with a bias they have stated in recorded video interviews played on NFLN.
TRUTH. There are interviews with Marcus Allen in his own words smiling at how he ****ed over Mr Davis cuz he wanted to.
TRUTH. Davis offered Allen a contract that would’ve made Allen the highest paid RB in history at that time.
TRUTH: Allen’s Oakland highlight reel keeps him in Raider good graces despite the fact he and Davis’ BS back and forth ultimately hurt the franchise.
Too bad you don’t understand these simple basic provable facts.
April 19th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
First thing we do to capitalize on our first non losing season in nearly a decade is to downgrade our QB roster by dumping off Gradkwoski. Makes sense.

A Raider fan must have sneaked into SI’s printing plant to make those issues between 2000 and 2002 that had the Raiders on the cover. SI has a bias against teams that suck, in any league, no matter what the team. If you’re good, they give you props. That’s why the Raiders have gotten plenty of positive articles in SI…when they were good. When you suck, you deserve nothing but the worst, anyway. Raiders loyalists like Good Ole want the press to talk up the Raiders even when they suck. That’s their game.

Our QB roster is now worse without Gradkowski.

Downgrade. Fact.

Then you call Marcus Allen a “California brat”. Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard from one of you Raider loyalists. The Raiders are a product of California! It just doesn’t get any dumber. You need to stop concentrating on what I am and take a look in the mirror.
April 19th, 2011 at 12:46 pm
275. You forgot Charlie Frye dum-ash. So we should carry 5 Qb’s?
Boller’s a project with ties to Jackson.
O’Sullivan’s a camp arm vet back up.
Frye’s a Davis fav coming off IR and a better prospect than the KNOWN shortcomings of Grads who’s release was done as a favor so he can seek a “starting” job elsewhere.
Re-re-shun.
April 19th, 2011 at 12:48 pm
Raiders didn’t get rid of Gradkwoski because he’s Cable’s guy. They got rid of Gradkowski to prevent a QB controversy when CAmpbell starts to suck.
April 19th, 2011 at 12:51 pm
Your dishonesty just isn’t working today. Give it up. We can carry 3 or 4 QBs with Gradkowski on the roster. Honesty is all that’s getting you out of this jam. Just be honest, admit you were wrong, admit you’re a Raiders’ hack who will try to spin anything and even make things up to make the Raiders look good, and then it’s over. This is time to repent, Good Ole. Not dig your hole deeper.
April 19th, 2011 at 1:21 pm
Here we go with that Grad’s support BS!!!
Campbell made better plays when he came in last year. Grad’s is and always will be a back up. I like Grad’s but he does not have the arm strength and percision passes for a starter. He made some good plays on his feet when they break down but Campbell did a pretty good job last year once he got use to the system. He may not be a Breeze, Manning or Brady but he did a good job last year. He puts the ball where the WRs can make plays.
Grads reminds me of a solid back up like Charlie Batch in Pitts.

April 19th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
i like grads
campbell looked far better than any qb we have had in a while…including grads. toward the end of the season he was winning games for us. grads won a pittsburgh game in 09. so what. we can’t have a qb controversy every year. i’m glad the raiders made a decision and are sticking with it hopefully even if campbell sucks the 1st couple of games. it’s better than puting in another qb letting him suck then starting the other again. consistency fellas is what it’s all about whether you think it should be grads or jason at starter doesn’t matter, remember….it’s not russell.
grads spot should be replaced by a draft pick to develop.
April 19th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
1)Campbell
2)Grads
3)Boller
4)Rookie
Frye has been weak since he was with the Browns (times up)
Boller the same. I know he is a vet but he was not productive at Baltimore but I guess someone as a vet 3rd string is not bad.

CJ:
Bottom line, our QB roster is worse now without Gradkowski. Boller, Frye, none of them better than Grads. Frankly, I don’t think Campbell is better than Grads either, but that argument’s a moot point now. Bottom line is that neither Boller or Frye or any other backup QB we have is better than Gradkowski. So by default, or QB depth chart is worse than it was last year. Is that the way to capitalize on the first non losing season in nearly a decade? Well, I guess it is for this backward, failure of a franchise.
April 19th, 2011 at 1:33 pm
Ken Stabler won’t get Zimmeran’s vote because of his drinking, Good Ole, has nothing to do with the RAiders. You want to talk about disrespecting a stroke victim, you’re misrepresenting Zimmerman’s views. You’re the class act. Scumbag. Anything to protect your joke of a team. Anything. you are scum.

April 19th, 2011 at 1:37 pm
Kaepernick is now being highly regarded as a 1st rounder. Mark my words the raiders want him bad, will try to get him early and that is the best pick in this draft early on…trust me this guy is better than any qb this year
1-Campbell
2-Boller
3-Kaepernick
that’s all we need this year in my opinion. no qb controversy, a serviceable backup, a star in the wings.
raiders trade up to seahawks/patriots spot to get him in 1st
April 19th, 2011 at 1:39 pm

Completely made it up. You are a thoughtless, irrelevant little peon. That’s why you make things up, to make your case more convincing, because you’re simply just an unconvincing person. Lying little chump.

You posted at 1:35 and at 1:39.
I posted your response TWICE at 1:23 and 1:29.
LMAO! Oh man, g-awd, you really are schtoopid.
Your still bishing even after getting shcooled. LMAO!
Oh well, I’m feeling a little bad about picking on the handicapped and actually have a life to get back to.
Wether you realize it or not you got schooled like a fish.
Yaawwwn. Troll on, think I’ll talk a walk. Beutiful out there.
Peace nation!

If both are available with the 48th pick, who should Da Raiders take?
Jake Locker or,
Colin Kaepernick?
I saw an interview with Locker (pre-combine) that had me thinking he could be legit, he was talking about he loves the game and doesn’t care where he gets drafted cause he has the work ethic to be successful. He said all the right things a franchise QB should say, but….BUT…he played average last season, sucked in the senior bowl, and had a bad combine…I only seen Kaepernick play one time so I don’t know too much about him but I think the Raiders would be wise to pick him over Locker…close call.

Don’t have time to be calling Tittle every day. I work ….unlike some peeps in here.
I try and call him when I don’t go into the office during the week though. I’m Lester. I also call JJ and the Mouth sometimes on my lunch hour.

Wow. Good thing you have a job. There’s people who call radio shows everyday.
How about Twitter, you follow DMac, Bush, etc?
^^^^^^^
Nope. I can’t stand Twitter. It’s a waste of time. I barely put up with facebook and that is even getting tedious and old already.
Only thing Twitter is good for is getting Raider Training Camp updates. Lol

Whoever will pick up the pro style playbook and terminology quicker and who is a leader and who is a hard worker and whoever has the better accuracy and mechanics and who will basically be a better student under Hue and Saunders system.

Ken Stabler won’t get Zimmeran’s vote because of his drinking, Good Ole, has nothing to do with the RAiders. You want to talk about disrespecting a stroke victim, you’re misrepresenting Zimmerman’s views. You’re the class act. Scumbag. Anything to protect your joke of a team. Anything. you are scum.
^^^^^^^
But did Zimmerman vote a crackhead like LT in the Hall?
Zimmerman is a freakin joke and he should have his HOF voting credentials revoked IMO. There needs to be a HOF voting commitee made of living players that are in the HOF. Biased sports writers and “journalists” should NOT be voting for anything like that.

Kell,
Not quite,what? What’s your point? In an ealier post you quoted that SI article from about twenty years ago for about the 100th time. Something about Davis and Loyaly and wiping shoes…..
In that quote it mentioned Huizenga’s book, which I’ve read, btw. Actually I recomended it to you a year or so ago. I thought you’d like it. It paints a fairly unflattering portrait of Al Davis. Right up your alley.
Anyway, I mentioned Huizenga’s book to relay a completely unrelated anecdote about Al Davis and league scheduling. Since the new schedule is released later today.
So again I ask..not quite, what?…

Kell,

There’s a humorous lil story about the release of the league schedule in Huizenga’s book that was referenced in one of Kell’s earlier posts.
—————————————–
I never referenced anything in my post other than Huizenga, and it wasn’t any lame assz story about the schedule. That’s what.

The list of those vanquished by Davis is extensive. In recent years his treatment of two employees in particular—popular trainer George Anderson and future Hall of Fame running back Marcus Allen—damaged team morale. Anderson, who had been with the Raiders since 1960, three years before Davis arrived as coach and general manager, says he was forced to retire in 1994 for refusing to do a television interview condemning a book written by former team physician Robert Huizenga. In the book Huizenga said Davis and the coaching staff pressured team doctors to clear injured players to return to action too soon. Five years earlier Huizenga had successfully treated Anderson’s wife of 42 years for Hodgkin’s disease. “The word loyalty is bandied about much too casually in the Raiders’ organization,” Anderson says. “For Al Davis, loyalty means, ‘You be loyal to me. I’ll think about being loyal to you.’ ”

Irjonny, this is my day off. Just so you know, not every single job in America is mon-fri, 9-5.
April 19th, 2011 at 3:23 pm
DKnight, you’re reaching, too. LT changed the linebacker position. So obviously he’s going to be given a little more leeway. It wasn’t about a bias against the Raiders. Stabler is just as much known as a partier as a drinker. LT had problems at the time he was voted in, but hes the greatest linebacker to play the game. At the time of his vote, that’s what he was known for. The spin never ends in Alameda. Why don’t you lackeys figure out a way to get the Raiders above the .500 mark without Gruden or his players?
April 19th, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Excuse me, Stabler is known as a partier and drinker as much as a QB, I meant to say. Stabler made the decision to write his book. Nobody put a gun to his head. He knew it would hurt him. It’s part of his good ol boy, rebel style. It works for his redneck admirers and those toothlees ladies down in the riv….but it doesn’t bode well with HOF voters. It’s not a Raider thing. It’s a stabler thing.
April 19th, 2011 at 3:28 pm
I don’t know why these raider loyalists in here accuse daytime commenters of being unemployed. You want to see the unemployed, look at that crowd at the Oakland Coliseum on Sundays in the fall. You’re not going to get a more vivid portrait of the non-working.

Its more “an interception thing”. His statistics went down dramatically after going to Houston, then New Orleans..he wont be getting a call anytime soon. Ray Guy will make it before Stabler.

April 19th, 2011 at 3:33 pm
It wasn’t meant as a put down, it’s the truth. Those 20k strong you see in the Oakland coliseum on sundays in the fall are the most vivid portrait you’re going to get of the unemployed. It’s just so ironic the Raiders would spend so much time mocking the unemployed. It’s their consumer base!
April 19th, 2011 at 3:33 pm
Sources are telling me that we are going to open at Denver on Monday night. Sure hope they are right.
April 19th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Well, you’re saying Stabler wasn’t a good QB, not me. Maybe DKnight will take issue with you on that. But I doubt it. It’s clear he’s butt hurt and trying to defend his homeboy Good Ole Scumbag, and that’s where all of this Stabler/LT stuff is coming from. Bottom line is these guys are on a desperate mission to convince us that there’s a media bias against the Raiders. The media doesn’t even care about the Raiders! They are irrelevant. The media follows the good teams.
April 19th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Why do you hope they’re right? You want to watch Denver smash the Raiders on opening night again? They always do.

Most of those women you see at Raider games need more than an eye patch. They need a bag over their head.
