Brief nuggets from players arriving in Napa
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, July 27th, 2011 at 12:15 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Just spent two hours in the parking lot of the Napa Valley Marriott, as Raiders players and coaches made their way from all points of the Bay Area and beyond to check in for the start of training camp.
I have been assigned to track down the goings on of cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, as reports surface that the 49ers are interested in signing the Raiders three-time Pro Bowler.
At some point, I will file a lengthy post. For now, here are some tidbits culled from interviews with more than 10 players:
Veteran Cooper Carlisle said he is under the impression that he still is the right guard. There has been talk of second-year player Bruce Campbell being inserted into the lineup at either left or right guard.
There’s still room at left guard, now that Robert Gallery reportedly has agreed to a deal with the Seattle Seahawks. Campbell said that he prefers to play offensive tackle. However, he is prepared to do whatever is asked of him by coach Hue Jackson and new offensive line coach Bob Wylie.
Wide receivers Chaz Schilens, Jacoby Ford, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Louis Murphy showed up in time for physicals and check-in. Schilens appears healthy and ready to roll.
Outside linebacker Kamerion Wimbley said his agent and the Raiders are discussing a long-term deal that would enable the Raiders to get out from under the $11.3 million slated to count against this year’s salary cap and engineer a deal that would be more cap friendly this season.
Wimbley received that figure as the Raiders franchise tag player. The Raiders conceivably could free up as much as $10.5 million in cap room this season, depending upon how a new deal is structured.
Running back Rock Cartwright was the first player off a bus load of rookies and younger players. Last year, it was veteran defensive tackle Richard Seymour.
Most players under contract were spotted at some point this morning. Still no word on whether Seymour, cornerback Stanford Routt or backup quarterback Kyle Boller are here yet. They are under contract and expected to be here at some point today.
Running back Darren McFadden arrived at 220 pounds but looking quite fit and stout. He said he is ready to play right now and has established some pretty lofty goals for this season. He said he prefers to keep those goals to himself.
Rookie offensive tackle Joseph Barksdale said he has touched down in San Francisco. That portens his signing a contract in Alameda today or real soon and making his way here. No sight or word from second-round draft pick Stefen Wisniewski.

Bauce – You know I’m hollering 50/50 for Dmac and Bush, but 60-40 is cool.
Giants can’t work anything out with Shawn Andrews…that needs to be our next Olineman signing after we finish something with Gaither. If we can land those two, I’d be cool with letting Miller walk…

Love it I have got to see that poster at the season opener on MNF!
July 27th, 2011 at 12:39 pm
Yesterday I posted an interesting piece (based on my biased opinion) on Darren McFadden and some interesting trends that have come up during his short three-year (38 game) career. Today I wanted to look at Heyward-Bey or DHB as we call him.
Keep in mind that DHB has played in 26 of 32 possible league games during his two year career.
The biggest question is who hasn’t DHB struggled against? He struggles to get open against man or zone coverage and drops way too many passes. With this in mind, jump over and see why it is hard to make DHB look good….
Star-divide
AFC Vs NFC
DHB performs better against NFC teams with 19 receptions against the NFC versus just 16 against AFC teams. Both stats stink!
Both of DHB’s career touchdowns have come against NFC teams (Cowboys and Seahawks). 100% of his career totals.
11 of his 35 career receptions have come in two games against the Rams and the Seahwawks. That is 31% of his career totals.
DHB has just 490 yards receiving in two years…he stinks! Here comes the Rams and the Seahawks again. 185 of his career receiving yards have come against St. Louis and Seattle. 37.7%!!! Likewise if I throw in the 49 yards he logged against the Cardinals this year 47% of his career receiving totals have come in just three games!
In three games versus the Eagles, Bengals and Dolphins DHB has 2 receptions for 18 yards TOTAL!
Vs the AFC West
DHB has appeared in 6 of 8 possible games versus the AFC West….take a guess at his receiving totals. Yes they are not good.
Denver 1 game 1 reception for 20 yards
San Diego 2 games 1 reception for 10 yards
Kansas City 3 games 2 receptions for 40 yards
That is 6 games 4 receptions for 70 yards and did I mention DHB has ZERO touchdowns against the Raiders AFC West rivals! Face it he stinks!
Situation Breakdown
In Raider losses DHB has 21 receptions and in Raider wins during his career he has 14 receptions. Pro Football Reference.com lists the Raiders with 8-12 record with DHB starting.
DHB is an early starter. In September and October he has logged 23 receptions (65% of his career totals) for 330 yards (67% of his career totals) and one touchdown.
In November and December combined he has just 12 receptions (34% of his career totals) for 160 yards and one touchdown. Just 32% of his career yardage comes in November and December games.
Putting this together it has difficult to make anything in DHB’s short career to look good. Likewise it is difficult to project and future numbers for him. Comparing him to Tim Brown or Cliff Branch is unfair in this case because DHB’s numbers are so low. I might mention though that Brown logged 43 receptions in his rookie season alone. DHB has just 35 in two seasons!
Jacoby Ford has amassed in just one season 25 receptions for 470 yards and 2 touchdowns. So in just one year Ford has tied DHB for touchdowns, He has acquired nearly 96% of DHB’s career receiving yardage totals and he has done all of this on just 25 receptions (compared to DHB’s 35). Now Ford might turn out to be a bust too but so far Ford has clearly outplayed DHB not to mention Ford’s return stats and his impact on some big Raider wins last year. Furthermore, DHB is a 1st round draft pick…Jacoby Ford is a 4th round pick.

Darrius Heyward-Bey Shows Up
OAKLAND, CA – SEPTEMBER 02: Darrius Heyward-Bey #85 of the Oakland Raiders catches a pass over Walter Thurmond #28 of the Seattle Seahawks during an NFL preseason game at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on September 2, 2010 in Oakland, California. (Phot
Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images
Now, bear with me a bit. I’m not saying Darrius Heyward-Bey is suddenly going to emerge into this team’s No. 1 receiver. I mentioned that spot is a wide open competition, but let’s be honest: The chances of DHB winning that battle is slim to say the least.
But I do believe that this is the year he shows the NFL why the Raiders took the chance that they did. The first two seasons have not gone to DHB’s liking. Going into year three for any wide receiver is a big deal, but maybe for Heyward-Bey this might be critical for more than one reason.
Obviously, most wide receivers take about three years to truly mature. Heyward-Bey finds himself trying to rid himself of the bust label that most put on him the second the commissioner announced his name. Two years removed from that moment is going to relax his mind. Let him focus primarily on football, rather than just proving a point.
Another reason is Hue Jackson and Al Saunders. Many have mentioned their assumed positive impact on quarterback Jason Campbell, but Heyward-Bey should reap some benefits of his own, as both coaches have respected histories with wide receivers.
Last but not least is overall work ethic.
No one has ever questioned DHB’s work ethic. But now it’s time for that hard work to turn into on-field production. Otherwise, what’s the point? The fact that we see DHB being such a team player and willing run blocker is something we can all support. But as a top 10 draft pick, it is time to see more. I think Heyward-Bey has to ask himself one question:
“Do I really want the world to see me as a bust, when I work as hard as I do?”
I think we will see his answer in 2011.

Chaz is glass. If Hue thinks he can count on him playing in more than 6 games this season he is high. They really need to go forward and just expect him to be injured and build a corps like he won’t be there. If he stays healthy – bonus. If they go forward without preparing for the worst, they are fools. I agree with those of you who are pushing for Malcom Floyd. Dude is an animal.

July 27th, 2011 at 1:11 pm
We can have all our WRs healthy, but if we keep running them strictly vertical on our PA plays, they are not going to be that productive.
I hope Hue and Saunders are able to implement a more WR friendly offense.
That WR screen/hitch play to Ford in that last KC game should NOT have been the first time we called that play all season.

D@mn I hope you are right about DHB. So far it is not looking good, but I want to see that guy make it. With guys like Ford and Murphy developing, Schilen’s Mr Glass coming back it may be hard for him to get his touches if he consistantly keeps droping balls. Hue may be just what the Dr ordered. There are alot of play makers on this tem though so he has to make it count. Not to mention a tightend, full back, and all the RBs have very good hands. They will just desing plays around those players.

I seem to remember receivers making long runs for tds after catching the ball on intermediate routs. We scored 26 points a game with our vertical offense, and that was without any pass protection, and sub par wr play.

Thec07 – agree to a point…take Braylon completely off the list. DHB will be him in two years, and put Chad over Malcolm.

No way mayne….Malcolm is my number 1 vet WR and he wont cost a lot…
July 27th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
I give up on DHB until he proves me wrong im done with him. Make him the 4th rec n not the 1st. Have chaz(if healthy if not get chad at the end of preseason because i can see brown releasing him by then) have murph at 2 n jacoby ford at 3 we have so much weapons idk who goes where cause i do want to see d.moore get a chance and if DHB is not producing sit him and enter d.moore
July 27th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Chaz Schilens has missed 19 games due to injury over the past two seasons.
pardon me for thinking he’s not #1 WR material
7th rounder in ‘08 making 555k this season (contract year)
career stats = 49 catches, 631 yards & 5 TD’s
July 27th, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Bauce – Maybe the lock out this season is just what the Dr ordered for Chaz. Lord knows he has had almost two seasons to heal up!
I think Al is comitted to DHB being a #1 because he put #1 money into his pocket. Chaz showed a lot of promise but neither one of these guys have produced. The unfortuante part is Bauce. I think are real #1 is our TE Zach who we may lose in free agency. He is the most consit WR we have on the team. Ford is more of a #1 than Chaz or DHB. I even like Ford’s upside more than Murphy. He drops the ball to much as well.
Long story short we need a #1 WR to step up. Maybe it will come together like it did for the Saints. They had a bunch of guys that all broke out late out of no where about there 3-4 year. Except Colston year 1 great!

If this is true, does it mean Shane Lechler is off the hook for saving the entire franchise now?
July 27th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Well all have agreed DHB is a 4th WR, but he’ll be a #2 in a couple years. Football really came to this guy late, but his athletic ability is worth waiting on. To do what he’s done with no little league/pop warner background and to start playing football in his high school years, he’s gradually progressing. You can see it. It’s just hard for us to judge and be proud of it with him being a top 10 pick.
Thec – Chad won’t cost a lot now either if he’s let go…
July 27th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
I hope Nnamdi Asomugha signs with SF.
that will ensure we finish with a better W/L record than “his team” this year. Then he’ll be sorry he didn’t think Al’s money was good enough
July 27th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Well other than Jon Condo’s promising post-football career future in politics, he is an outstanding ST tackler. Especially considering he snaps the punt before going downfield and smashing some opposing guy’s skull in. No word yet on whether he then uses it for cereal.

Floyd is what 27, and ate your DB’s up last year…6′5″ and fast…
July 27th, 2011 at 1:29 pm
The sad part is we have no #1 WRs but because we have so many skilled players with receving skills at the TE position, full back position, RB position (Bush, DMAC and Cartwright), maybe even Taiwan can catch out the backfield and take it to the house we will not pick up a vet WR at top dollar. Al, wants the WRs we got to develop and he feels they took alot of licks early so he is going to ride them out. After the Randy Moss and Javon Walker “I am a fool” deals I don’t see us taking a big name WR for years to come.
I am telling you they are sold on the WRs they have developing into #1s.
I would be totally shocked if we go with a free agent WR. But it would make me very happy to see us pick one up. I think our WRs have been hurt by not having veteran leadership on the field at the WR spot.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Does anybody else find it funny that A. J. Smith is the new Al Davis?
he signs players WAY past their prime in hopes of reclaiming the division (McMichael, Spikes, Sanders) and overpays to retain his own FA’s (Weddle)

They really need to go forward and just expect him to be injured and build a corps like he won’t be there. If he stays healthy – bonus.

Agreed.
Chaz would be #4 on my depth chart to start the season.
I’d have no problem with Roy Williams, Chad Johnson, Floyd, Derrick Mason, or another solid WR being added.
BUT ….
I also want to see what this kid Moore can do.
Our WRs situation is pretty tricky. I think Ford, DHB, and Murphy will all see a lot of time.

I think Chaz has the ability to be a number one IF HE STAYS HEALTHY, and he hasn’t even come close to proving that he can. I would love to see what he could do with a complete season but I think it would be ill-advised to hitch one’s wagon to a horse with bad feet. I hope he has a great season and don’t want him to fail by any means, but a plan B with someone other than all our young guys would be a good idea.

July 27th, 2011 at 2:38 pm
Rec yds avg tds
Chad Ochocinco 67 831 12.4 4
Malcom Floyd 37 717 19.4 6
Roy Williams 37 530 14.3 5
DHB 26 366 14.1 1
Jacoby Ford 25 470 18.8 2
Louis Murphy 41 609 14.9 2
After comparing the 2010 stats of the top 3 FA WR talked about on here with the stats of the guys we have (Chaz excluded) The most glaring difference I see is the number of TDs with number of catches being second. YPC avg seems ok in comparison. I am sure having Zach Miller contributed to these numbers as much as having McFadden and Bush did, but I am a bit conflicted as to whether I still think we need to add one of these free agents. Our WRs will only improve on last year and the chemistry with Campbell for a second season will help. Honestly, If we dont pick up one of these guys, I don’t think I can really be all that upset about it.
July 27th, 2011 at 2:39 pm

“Some sites reporting Raiders in hot pursuit of Braylon Edwards”
I seriously doubt that!
Link please?
July 27th, 2011 at 3:12 pm
Jets will not resign Edwards and he will come cheap. Look for him to be the Raiders first FA WR target this off season. Imagine if Chaz could get healthy….Edwards, Schilens, Murphy, Ford….Our fortunes would change
July 27th, 2011 at 3:13 pm
Until he says……..period
Its not a lock!

He said that Nnamdi will either be a Packer or Jet. Even said “bank on it” – which makes it official, LOL

KK the clown, define possession rcvr.
So far Chaz has not possessed anything in his pro football career!

Presently on the roster, Chaz is the only possession WR we have.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
I would rather sign Edwards and Cromartie than Aso
July 27th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Just read that the Raiders are going after G Duece Lutui.
Sign him and Gaither and things will be looking up for the o-line
July 27th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Chaz is sitting comfortably behind Ford, Murphy and DHB, only because DHB can play more than 3 games at a stretch.

Chaz, if healthy, is the best Raider WR. But, you can’t depend on that, again.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:18 pm
I’m sure most of you know, and knew it was going to happen
Mr. Gallery signed with the Seahawks

Any Zach Miller news?
July 27th, 2011 at 3:26 pm
I played high school football at west covina with walter thurman corner back of the seahawks , I never would have thought that he would make it pro, he is a good dude
July 27th, 2011 at 3:26 pm
So, it looks like the Raiders are definitively interested in bringing in Vet O-lineman, good.
With no OTA’s, no coaching contact, it’s going to be hard to go with a rookie heavy O-line.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:27 pm
DHB cap number is about 5.5 million. We could use that cap space. Tommy Kelly is due a 5.5 million dollar roster bonus. That is a head scratcher. Also the timing of the Wimbley/Roudt deals have put us in a bind. I like Roudt, but would have been such a hot commodity?

Hasselbach to Tenn…
Santonio Holmes to NJY….Edwards get your punk a$$ to Oakland!
July 27th, 2011 at 3:31 pm
I think edwards and Gaither are locks. I think no one bites at Huff and we get him on the cheap to come back. I would not be against dealing Michael Bush for an OL with a low cap number..I think Tiawan Jones can make plays. I think if Al gets further under the cap then cromartie is ours too.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:32 pm
Napa- KFC is working feverishly to supply the Marriot with 50 gal drums of cole slaw.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Gaither makes Jamarcus look like a workaholic. Don’t expect him here. And remember, Hue Jackson got to see him up close and personal.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Taiwan Jones has agreed to a contract.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
So the highlight of Jackson’s presser was Taiwan Jones signing?
LMFAO!
July 27th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Braylon? We have a guy with questionable hands already…
July 27th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Retribution..We all have internet access and can access profootballtalk and espn. Taiwan Jones news is ancient history.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Braylon is better than any WR we have period! DHB could not hold his jock in any respect…
July 27th, 2011 at 3:41 pm
Would you be happier with Murphy, Chaz, or DHB?

Our receivers problems havent been talent as much as its been the QB getting them the ball..or the OLine blocking long enough for the QB to throw the ball..

Your right. Our QB is awesome. He’s never running for his life when he drops back. The WRs just suck huh.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
I’d take Braylon on the cheap, but for every great catch he makes, he drops an easy one.
He is only a #1 WR for crappy WR units like ours.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:47 pm
Duece Lutui as right guard? Al do it now! Do it and I’ll talk so much schit to u guys it will be crazy…..as i been saying 6′4 338 lbs in power scheme is perfect. he has big game exereince and can handle uTs!
July 27th, 2011 at 3:48 pm
Braylon also facing suspension next season as well.
So even if we sign him……we still go into Denver opening night with some below-average starting WR’s (whatever combo we come up with).
July 27th, 2011 at 3:49 pm
Experience*
July 27th, 2011 at 3:50 pm
Naw our Qb has been lackluster. The O-line has been shaky. The Wr’s have been flat our garbage. Collectively all 3 areas need to improve.
Braylon would at least command some respect from the db’s and the defense. He’s a threat like him or not. DHB threat? Haha Murphy threat? lol Ford is getting there lets see what he does his 2nd year. Chaz is not even in the conversation.
July 27th, 2011 at 4:08 pm
LaConfora is saying the Raiders could be suitors for Cromartie
July 27th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
hypothetical yet possible scenario:
Week 17 – SD @ OAK
Winner goes to playoffs. Loser goes home.
Raiders need to get 10 yds on one play to win.
Z. Miller & DMc are double covered.
What 3 WRs do you want to see on the field?
Which WR do you want the ball to go to?
July 28th, 2011 at 9:12 am
Dmac is a freakn stud to possess that speed with his size is remarkable…. But mark my words, he will lose at least 10 pounds by the time camp is over…. It does t matter cuz he is a nasty SOB regardless…. His upper body strength is so explosive be can immobilize defenders with his joust like stiff arms…. He is by far our most valuable player on the field….when he does good we win most of the time…
