Outsiders face long odds of making Raiders 53-man roster
By Steve Corkran
Sunday, August 7th, 2011 at 11:30 am in 2011 Preseason, Oakland Raiders.
If you weren’t with the Raiders last season, be it on the 53-man roster or practice squad, or aren’t a member of their 2011 draft class, your chances of making this year’s team are rather slim.
That’s the early take on the projection for the opening-day roster when the Raiders play the Denver Broncos on Sept. 12.
Starting jobs are going to be even more difficult for players to earn if they weren’t on the team last season.
As of now, the only change for certain on the starting defensive unit is going to be with who replaces the departed Nnamdi Asomugha at cornerback, opposite Stanford Routt. Chris Johnson is the leading candiate.
Otherwise, Matt Shaughnessy and Lamarr Houston are the defensive ends, Richard Seymour and Tommy Kelly the defensive tackles. Michael Huff and Tyvon Branch appear set at free and strong safety, respectively. Rolando McClain, Kamerion Wimbley and Travis Goethel are the linebackers until further notice.
On offense, Jason Campbell is back as the starting quarterback. Darren McFadden is the running back, Marcel Reece the fullback, Kevin Boss the tight end, Chaz Schilens and Louis Murphy the leading candidates at the wide receiver spots. The offensive line is wide open, with the exception of Jared Veldheer at left offensive tackle. Cooper Carlisle, Samson Satele, Daniel Loper and Khalif Barnes very well could make up the rest of the line, with Loper taking over for Robert Gallery from last year’s starting five, and Barnes replacing Langston Walker.
Boss is the only one of the 22 aforementioned players who wasn’t with the Raiders last season. He was signed as a free agent as a replacement for Zach Miller, who left for the Seattle Seahawks.
Even if the starting lineups don’t shake out as listed above, the changes would come from players who were with the Raiders last season in some capacity.
For instance, if Johnson doesn’t pan out at cornerback, the next option likely would be one of the four players at that position selected in the past two drafts — Jeremy Ware, Walter McFadden, DeMarcus Van Dyke and Chimdi Chekwa. Quentin Groves or Trevor Scott would be the likely replacement for Goethel if he doesn’t hold up.
On the offensive line, any other player who has a chance of cracking the starting lineup came via the draft — Joseph Barksdale, Stefen Wisniewski and Bruce Campbell — or has spent time with the Raiders in the past — Roy Schuening was on the practice squad last season.
That leaves the 25 players without Raiders ties before now competing for only a handful of roster spots. The odds-on favorites to break through are: Trent Edwards for one of two backup spots at quarterback, offensive lineman Stephon Heyer, cornerback Sterling Moore and linebacker Chris Francis and safety Zac Etheridge.
In other words, people aren’t going to have to spend much time learning new faces and matching players with new positions. The Raiders entered this season believing that they weren’t far off from making the playoffs last season. Their roster moves and actions during the first 11 practices in training camp serve only to validate that belief.

I keep hearing Kirk Morrisons name thrown around the last couple of weeks, doesn’t he have a big contract with the Jags?
***************
Nope, He is a UFA, and hasn’t been sniffed by any team, even though he averaged 100 tackles a year for six years. I’m glad we replaced him as MLB, but I think he could be useful on the outside. He would at least be an upgrade over Groves – who apparently spent the offseason burning tree and eating poptarts.

Better keep what they can because the ones they just signed are going to stink it up!Probably the worst team in the NFL this year for sure.GO CHARGERS!!!
August 7th, 2011 at 11:40 am
I didn’t keep up with the Jags last year…how did he do..? Was he still making tackles 10 yrds from the line of scrimage
August 7th, 2011 at 11:43 am
If Chris Francis work ethic translates to the field then he should grab a spot on the team. Heard he’s a work out warrior, benching 400 and squatting 600.
August 7th, 2011 at 11:45 am
Chris Francis aka Grant Irons ..they used to call him ” game ready” but he was never ready.
August 7th, 2011 at 11:46 am
I like this Chris Francis kid.

so you put the extra 40 bodies out there to blast away at the opponent’s extra 40 bodies for a few games in August and see if any of them are left standing.
wonder if anyone during the millionaires v. billionaires lockout throwdown considered how disgusting it is for NFL fans to have to pay full ticket prices to watch the scrubs v. wannabes preseason? instead of paying millions to a bunch of scheisters the NFL and NFLPA could’ve reimbursed fans for the ongoing preseason price scam.

Four guys who make the team every year are: Lechler,
Janikowski and Condo…all needed in their key positions. Then there is Sam Williams, who is a marginal OLB at best, but who knows some deep secret, like where the body is buried because he’s scholarshipped every year onto the team? Ya, he also plays special teams and earns the cap minimum, so I guess those are factors that play into the selection of the final 53 (?). But, I think his time has come, I can’t see him making the cut again…no way, no how.

u also had that brilliant idea that rock cartwright would have more rushing yards than dmc last year.

DHB is going to get his shot, and he will be a productive Raider WR…
Coach Jackson will figure out how to use all of the strengths from this WR corp, and get the most out of them….
————————————————–
Eh, wouldn’t bank on it friend.
++++++++++
I dont need DHB to be a superstar WR… I need him to contribute when he is in the game, and do what he is asked to do nothing more. We have good depth at WR, and Coach Jackson will be able to get everyhing out of the depth. IMO DHB is a nice problem to have….

Sam Williams will be a Raider for another 3-4 years.

To bad we’re not playing Dallas this year, especially with their big, big, fat and fatter, Rob Ryan as their new DC. We could put 40 points on the board. Hell, maybe 50 going again his “prevent” and “no presure”
defensive.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
This is actually great news. 2-3 years ago you wouldn’t say the same thing about the Raiders. The roster was not that deep. Now players can barely get on this team
August 7th, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Putting some pieces together after catching up on Levi’s tweets and other reports coming out of camp: My summation, Wiz is going to replace Loper.
Wiz has been playing a lot of LG recently and I’ve read from SNB that Loper is having an awful camp, in fact our Guards look like the weakest area on the OL (pre-Wiz or BC taking snaps there).
Maybe not vs AZ, but I think by the 2nd preseason game we are going to see:
Veldheer – Wiz – Satele – Carlisle – Barnes

Since you are a Seachicken fan and talk all this big head, why don’t you stop by the Orleans on 1st ave downtown Seattle next to the stadium in your Seachicken gear on Sept 2nd and see what kind of reception you get in your own town. Then you will see what real fans are about and find out why there is only 1 true nation…………RAIDER NATION!!!! NW Raiders reppin on you all day every day in your town punk!

16) Moore is part of the draft class that was listed as having he inside track.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:17 pm
Test
August 7th, 2011 at 12:17 pm
If I may venture to guess 1 more spot may change on the OL come opening day. Remember, BC has yet to practice. I’ll venture to guess BC will take either RG or RT spot come opening day.
Veldeer-Wiz-Satele-Campbell-Barnes
or
Veldheer-Wiz-Satele-Barnes/Carlisle-Campbell
are my best guesses right now.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:20 pm
You wouldn’t love to be wrong,that is pure BS.You guys want him to fail,hence the cut him now attitude.
===========
I want him to contribute so the Raiders can win games. That’s all. Never said cut him now.
I mention the other players, because keeping DHB on the field means those other players who PERFORM BETTER THAN DHB are not on the field as much.
At some point you have to stop rewarding potential and start rewarding production. If there are players on the roster who help put points on the board, and DHB isn’t putting points on the board, then the choice is pretty clear cut.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:21 pm
Hmmm, for some reason I’m not able to post an updated MUP list…
August 7th, 2011 at 12:21 pm
We should bring back kirk as an olb, groves can’t be that out shape if he is beating reece in a foot race. But its good to have lb depth. Wish we mixed it up with a 3-4 more often with groves and wimbley outside and mcclain and morrison/gothel inside. That is a killer look.

Yes, the Raiders are developing depth and there is competition. That is a great thing to have!
Its important that the Raiders look at this season as the season to win. Last year, DAvis admitted that it would be a development year…not this time.
Put the best 22 on the field…no exceptions or excuses
August 7th, 2011 at 12:27 pm
Put me down for Chaz for my MUP
August 7th, 2011 at 12:27 pm
I just want Bruce Campbell to get on the practicde field so I can see him play I need to know if this kid is a player. Get healthy son show me what you got.
IMO Wiz will play OG it’s a safe bet he’ll have a better year there than at C. I want TJ to get back on the practice field he hasn’t practiced since day2. There afre a lot more significant worries than DHB. Who may not be sepectacular this year but he will have a solid year.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:28 pm

Vehldeer LT Barnes RT Backups: Heyer, Barksdale, & Campbell

If Chaz don’t make it outta camp again I’ll take Shonasty
August 7th, 2011 at 12:34 pm
I could see at least two of the UFDAs on the OLine making the 53-man roster
Lamaak specifically
I foresee either Loper or Carlisle getting traded.
I also think one of our young DBs getting traded: Ware, McFadden, Van Dyke, Chekwa, Brown
especially if Johnson & Sterling make the final cut to 53
if not then that would be 11 DBs on the roster (counting Routt, Huff, Branch, & Mitchell)
I would rather see the Raiders trade one of the above early and get a draft choice for him than cut him Aug 30th and get nothing.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:35 pm
Chaz Schilens really isnt an underdog but we are running out of players on…I mean really ROMAC,BRANCH I dont see how those guys are even available to pick. I mean thatslike me saying oh can I pick ford or seymour or wimbley
August 7th, 2011 at 12:36 pm
Shonasty was also voted the most improved player last year…. How is that possible?
August 7th, 2011 at 12:37 pm
Raiders are deep on the offensive line, this is awesome
infact we have not been this deep since the days of Mr. Lincoln Kennedy, Mr. Wisniewski, and Mr. Robbins
August 7th, 2011 at 12:38 pm
I’m not saying they are as good, just simply deep
August 7th, 2011 at 12:39 pm

We have good depth at WR, and Coach Jackson will be able to get everyhing out of the depth. IMO DHB is a nice problem to have….
——————–
By “nice problem to have” do you mean having a receiver we paid 29 million to over the past two years who drops more passes than he catches which come his way?
I’d love for him to come along, but I don’t see it. Some people are more natural at the position (like Moore coming in). They go up, make the play. Some, somehow screw the pootch. I still remember passes which hit DHB on the hands and he bobbed up straight to an interception when the game was on the line 2 times. That kind of “learning on the job” is not what I’m looking for. I think we should have Chaz, Ford, Murphy and Moore on the field before DHB at this point in time.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:44 pm
Damn Drank you and 2 other people have Taiwan Jones.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:45 pm
Some of you guys break me up. Who ever said Darius Heyward-Bey was NOT a project? That’s the problem with Al Davis. He saddles his coaching staff with all kinds of projects, and expects them to develop project players, game plan week in and week out, manage the team and then win on Sundays.
That works for organizations like New England and Philly that have continuity in the systems, continuity in the coaching staffs, continuity at the QB position, and the veteran players can help the younger ones develop.
In DHB’s case, he had Jamarcus as his Q, two coaches in three years and who was the vet WR who could help him out? Chokie Lee Higgins? Granted, he has not developed like any of us would wish, but 6′2″ 218 lb guys that run 4.25 forties don’t fall out the sky every 9 seconds. This is a make or break year for him. Let’s see what happens.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:46 pm
Offensive play of the day: On the second-to-last 11-on-11 play of the day, Jason Campbell hit Shaun Bodiford on a perfectly timed slant pass from the right side from 10 yards out and for a touchdown. Bodiford beat cornerback Stanford Routt and safety Tyvon Branch on the play and yes, Bodiford was out there with the first-team offense on the play.
Another Routt getting burned.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:47 pm
My MUP choice is Trent Edwards.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:48 pm
I’m actually REALLY excited about our chances this year. Really only two things really piss me off. 1 was how Nnamdi was handled. Unless he was BSing in his press conference, it seemed that he wasn’t even really tried to be resigned (maybe because of the previous year’s demands from the agent?). But it wasn’t handled and it leaves a hole that Routt is not filling.
2. is that DHB was paid another 8.5 million this year to play for us. He should’ve been cut or restructured.
I was really pissed about Miller being allowed to walk, but I think it was handled well with the Boss signing.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:52 pm
I am of the oppinion that Huff, ROMAC, and Branch should not be eigable for the list.
I will go along with Chaz tho’ as injuries have historically stunted his production. I’m sue there are many NFL fans who have no idea who Chaz is, and I doubt he is burning up Fantasy drafts.
August 7th, 2011 at 12:56 pm

That leaves the 25 players without Raiders ties before now competing for only a handful of roster spots. The odds-on favorites to break through are: Trent Edwards for one of two backup spots at quarterback, offensive lineman Stephon Heyer, cornerback Sterling Moore and linebacker Chris Francis and safety Zac Etheridge.

there goes Sterling Moore again. represent for them Laney Eagles son! i will say that Francis may have a shot at the final lb spot. Etheridge may earn a PS spot.

Try not to chose a “proven NFL starter” Thanks!

Very well said. DHB is a RAIDER.
I’ll give him until wk 8 and then make a final decision.

He got rid of the I’s on the team, now we are a real team, great drafts these last 2 years Coach Davis, Great coach in Mr.Jackson…the fact is we were gona lose players no matter what but we kept the guys that mattered, like AL said, without nnamdi he can pay 3 or 4 good players to dawn the silver and black, and he did just that…GREAT WORK AL!!LONG LIVE THE MAVERICK DAVIS!!!LONG LIVE THE RAIDERS!! AND LONG LIVE THE RAIDER NATION!!!

After careful consideration I have finally chosen my cantidate for the list. He is probaly the single most hated Raider on the team
I chose AL DAVIS

To start the season,our Oline might be left to right- Veldheer,Wiz,Satale,Carlisle,Barnes.However,I doubt that is the line that starts the 1st playoff game as Barksdale and/or B.Campbell could be inserted at some time during the season.

Kevin Boss should not be eligible. The team signed the guy and he was already well-regarded. The Giants are p**sed they lost him.
He doesn’t count…in fact..he’s expected to be a significant contrbutor
August 7th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
I’ll choose another but i think that he’ll be much improved from last year… MUP = Jeremy Ware.
August 7th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Only reason I hated on the Chaz Pick was because I use to know the guy really well and probally is his biggest fan. The dude plays some serious Beer Pong… Taiwan Jones was my 1st pick and I know I was the 1st guy to pick him up so Im not complaining off that.,,,Check me out on Twitter SchilensFan81

[...] 3,124 By Steve Corkran Sunday, August 7th, 2011 at 11:30 am in Oakland Raiders. If you weren’t with the Raiders last season, be it on the 53-man roster or practice squad, or aren’t a member of their 2011 draft class, your chances of making this year’s team are rather slim. That’s the early take on the projection for the opening-day roster when the Raiders play the Denver Broncos on Sept. 12. Starting jobs are going to be even more difficult for players to earn if they weren’t on the team last season. As of now, the only change for certain on the starting defensive unit is going to be with who replaces the departed Nnamdi Asomugha at cornerback, opposite Stanford Routt. Chris Johnson is the leading candiate. Otherwise, Matt Shaughnessy and Lamarr Houston are the defensive ends, Richard Seymour and Tommy Kelly the defensive tackles. Michael Huff and Tyvon Branch appear set at free and strong safety, respectively. Rolando McClain, Kamerion Wimbley and Travis Goethel are the linebackers until further notice.

Once DHB takes a hard knock, he’ll be done. The reason he can’t catch is because he is afraid of getting hit. Same thing as why some great baseball players can’t make it to the big show. They are scared of getting hit by a 90+ fastball. So it is with DHB. Everyone knows this and they will crack him first chance they get. Dudley was the same way.
It wasn’t DHB fault he was drafted so high and such expectations are put on a #1 pick. But it is what it is.

I will say this, for all the slack Coach Davis has taken since the SB loss to Gruden, the hiring and firing of coaches, the strange picks in the draft, Russell, the press conferences, etc., that I’ll go out on a limb and say he has done superb this off season with the hiring of Hue, kept a lot of the team in tact (miller and aso, BFD), had a good draft and hired good assts., and expect this year to go deep into the playoffs.
JC in his second year will be good. So will Ford and the running backs will be awesome.
Great job Coach Davis. WE ARE BACK!
August 7th, 2011 at 2:11 pm
Think JC should be eligible and I’m pretty sure I can’t take Routt ( I’m guessing) so my MUP will be Mike Mitchell
August 7th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Codigo,let me help you out.Because when Goethel played last year he was effective.Because he was vying for the starting WLB last year before he was injured.Because the coaching staff is high on him and likes him.

What do the rules say to that regard? I know he is no Tim Brown, but Tim was a punt returner and a WR, so again, how will that work? What exactly do the rules state on that and can I find a rulebook on line somewhere?

I think ST plays will be worth points – BHP is trying to create a fair point structure, but the winner should be somewhat obvious by the end of the season. N.Miller is currently listed as a WR on the raiders.com website

NMiller is a baller – a small one at that. He has great hands and finds ways of getting open. He’s our Danny Woodhead. Keep him on the squad. When he plays, we seem to win. Maybe he’s just our good luck charm. Personally, I really want to see him given & chance and play. There’s a reason he’s stuck with the 53 this many years.

Was going to pick Schillens but it just seems like the obvious choice.
August 7th, 2011 at 2:37 pm
yo BigTed707, does Marcel Reece or Jano count? I know Jano is a proven(?) starter but he’s never been to the Pro Bowl and his touchback ratio is always overlooked.
August 7th, 2011 at 2:37 pm
Yes running back or at least it’s been reported he has been taking plays out of the backfield so I assume it is as a RB.

Also…I think all the Johnny-come-lately MUP predictors picking Denarius Moore should have an asterisk next to their selection.
Denarius is the easy pick as camp star rookie…now that he’s lighting up the practices. Many of us weren’t even sure he’d be eligible for MUP consideration in the beginning of this all-important poll.
Picking DMoore now is a no-brainer…and should carry a Roger Maris-like asterisk!
August 7th, 2011 at 2:43 pm

August 7th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
WOW, if that is true little Nicky is fearless.
I imagine he will retain punt returning duties unless it gets handed over to Ford or T. Jones.
I like N. Miller, the dude has some huge balls for his size.
I think that I recently read that Nick put Condo on his azz in camp.

August 7th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Clemson’s DL Jamie Cumbie is an interesting Undrafted Free-Agent pick-up, the kid was a Parade All-American in High School and a Top 100 recruit for Clemson, he was a back-up in ther rotation and was supposed to play a big role in his senior year but got kicked off the team for beating some guy up.
He’s 6′7 290 and a good athlete, looks like a Tight End from his picture.
Maybe he’s gone after the first cut but perhaps Mike Waufle can teach this guy how to use his talent so he can be developed in the Practice Squad.
Hard to find anything on the guy other than him getting kicked off the team and being a 2nd round pick in the UFL draft back in May.
But The National Football Post had a surprisingly complete analysis:
- Clemson DT, Jamie Cumbie (6-7, 287).
“A tall, long defensive lineman who played both inside and out on the Clemson defense. Is a pretty impressive athlete for his size, exhibits good range when asked to work in pursuit and has the type of natural flexibility to really coil up into his stance.
Displays a solid first step, as well, and because of his lower body length he gets into opposing linemen quickly. However, really gets upright off the ball, struggles to keep his base down and routinely gets doubled over at the waist in both the run and pass game.
Doesn’t do a great job extending his arms into blocks, either, and routinely gets his hands outside the shoulders of opposing blockers. However, has the type of length and suddenness through contact to fight his way off blocks and can accelerate quickly up the field.
Now isn’t real technically sound or compact with his arms/hands, but his combination of length and athleticism really makes him tough to block through contact. Isn’t much of a bull rush threat because of his lack of leverage and isn’t real effective when lined-up inside vs. the run either.
Was dismissed from the Clemson program in June due to violation of team rules.
- Impression:
A long, intriguing athlete who moves well for a guy his size. Plus, he has the frame to put on about 20 more pounds without batting an eye. Obviously there are some character concerns, but has some upside as a developmental five-technique”.

Oh man, if SD does move to LA it would suck. I was hoping to root for the LA team. Now I’m just going to have another reason to make fun of the city. lol…
Oh well, at least the Raider games will be closer when they play each other.
I really don’t get it though, it’s like SD is trying to steal Raider fans, SD was already known as little Oakland when the Raiders came to town, it was like their second home, can you imagine how LA is going to be? Chargers will be like the tenants nobody wants…

And, one other thing to think about…
Anyone advocating purchasing/selling knock-off merchandise shouldn’t be able to complain about Al Davis not going harder at free agents or costly veterans in trade. (And no, I’m not saying anyone in particular here does that.)
I dig how expensive officially licensed products are…but those products help pay for OUR team. Every knock-off item purchased is taking money directly out of NFL teams’ and players’ pockets (yeah, I know…they’re all too rich already, yada yada).
I’m not saying anyone should stop buying/selling whatever they want…I’m just saying that money comes right out of the monies available to be used for upgrades and contracts…and also affects sales, tax revenues and jobs available right here in our local area — in the good ol’ US of A.
B!tching about AL while wearing a knock-off is kinda like b!tching about farmers when your mouth’s full of food.
Just sayin’

August 7th, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Something to remember…
2 seasons ago in the last 2 games, our starting WRs were Chaz and Murphy, and our Offense looked decent. Last year when they were both on the field, our passing game was better, not to mention Ford’s impact. So, if this year Chaz and Murphy are the starters again, we should be in good shape. Specially if you count in Ford and McFadden and Moore. Not to mention what Boss brings to the table.
This is going to be some exciting stuff…

Try not to chose a “proven NFL starter” Thanks!
——————
Proven NFL starter? Branch had a pretty terrible year last year, giving up more TDs than any other member of the secondary by a relatively large margin. At the strong safety position, Branch is also facing a push for playing time by one of the owner’s pet projects, Mike Mitchell. Very few Raider starters performed worse than Branch last season.
If any player has room for improvement in 2010, Branch does. I think he’ll bounce back nicely, and be the most improved player on the roster in 2011.
August 7th, 2011 at 3:26 pm

Hey Carolina fans! (Well, any fans not close to a Raiders fan club…)
If you have a solid following of Raiders fans where you live (I’m sure you do!), you can always start an official Raiders booster club.
Just find a Raiders-friendly location (bar and/or restaurant maybe…preferably family friendly, since lots of parents like to bring their kids — future Raiders fans — to events).
Then, contact the Raiders about the rules for making your club official…it’s easy to do. The Raiders rep for coordinating the booster clubs is former player Morris Bradshaw, a super cool dude who will get you on board asap.
The booster clubs have a “steering committee” that helps organize events, including a designated “away game” that members attend in droves every year…last year it was in PHX, and this year the big party will be in Minnesota, week 11. There’s always a dinner/party, and some ex-Raiders players and coaches show up for meet n’ greets. The ticket/hotel/party packages are a great deal, too. Big fun…especially running into old friends year after year.
So…if you’re really interested in creating a Raiders fan club, here you go:
For information on forming a club of your own in an area that isn’t currently covered by a club, send a written request to Morris Bradshaw, Oakland Raiders, 1220 Harbor Bay Pkwy., Alameda, CA 94502.

Also…I think all the Johnny-come-lately MUP predictors picking Denarius Moore should have an asterisk next to their selection.
Denarius is the easy pick as camp star rookie…now that he’s lighting up the practices. Many of us weren’t even sure he’d be eligible for MUP consideration in the beginning of this all-important poll.
Picking DMoore now is a no-brainer…and should carry a Roger Maris-like asterisk!

I feel ya! Only Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (Dr. Gonzo) picked D.Moore before camp began!

I originally picked Taiwan Jones based on his potential to be super explosive. However, unless DMAC misses significant time, TJ won’t get enough touches to win. I still believe he can be another Jamaal Charles or better, but this year being MUP will only be possible if DMAC goes down. & I don’t my pick hanging on that possibility. If possible can u change my pick to Denarius Moore.

=========================================
I know of nobody on this blog who thinks of Jason Campbell as a Hall-of-Famer.
He a decent, efficient QB.
Your team will not win because of Jason Campbell, but it can win WITH him.
Is he the worst QB in the division? Not as long as Denver has the Orton/Tebow two-headed monster.
In addition, as Oakland has 3 QB’s with regular NFL starting experience, it could be argued that we have one of the best QB situations (starter to 3rd-stringer) in the AFC.

259. I remember being impressed with McFadden & Ethridge @ AUB.
Routt, Branch, Huff & Johnson
DVD, Mitchell, Ethridge & McFadden
I really think D coordination is the main factor that needs to improve. This is such a talented young roster.
Overall, I hope the core of this group can stay together for a few years.
If Branch, McClain & Kelly have a pro bowl type season…
August 7th, 2011 at 7:12 pm
The OLine is deep enough to let Gaither get in shape at a healthy pace. If Raiders did sign him and he’s 100% late in the season then look out!

Thanks for the tip HayesDaze37. I might check that out, I was gonna start small. I know at least 3-4 guys who would probably come. I know there are more Raider fans in the area too.
CarolinaRaider look me up if u are gonna be around here on a game day. I’m like you, have been on the board since 05′ -06 and used to post a good bit then. Have’nt missed a blog update from Jerry or Steve since then but the last few years I’ve mostly stayed away from posting. I don’t know something feels different this year though.
JUST WIN BABY

If you have a solid following of Raiders fans where you live (I’m sure you do!), you can always start an official Raiders booster club.

We have good depth at WR, and Coach Jackson will be able to get everyhing out of the depth. IMO DHB is a nice problem to have….
——————–
By “nice problem to have” do you mean having a receiver we paid 29 million to over the past two years who drops more passes than he catches which come his way?
I’d love for him to come along, but I don’t see it. Some people are more natural at the position (like Moore coming in). They go up, make the play. Some, somehow screw the pootch. I still remember passes which hit DHB on the hands and he bobbed up straight to an interception when the game was on the line 2 times. That kind of “learning on the job” is not what I’m looking for. I think we should have Chaz, Ford, Murphy and Moore on the field before DHB at this point in time.
—————————————–
Lol. He’d be a “nice problem to have” only if the Old Creeper didn’t draft him number one and thereby raise expectations through the roof.

HEY AL DAVIS..You get a lot of sh*z from stupid ppl who use gimics and think that OUR STYLE OF FOOTBALL CANT BE PLAYED ANYMORE…For all those haters…LOOK AT OUR 53 man roster and SAY SOMETHING!!!!SAY SOMETHING!!! Cuz big AL just had one heck of an offseason and kept this team 2GETHER!!!! He got rid of the I’s on the team, now we are a real team, great drafts these last 2 years Coach Davis, Great coach in Mr.Jackson…the fact is we were gona lose players no matter what but we kept the guys that mattered, like AL said, without nnamdi he can pay 3 or 4 good players to dawn the silver and black, and he did just that…GREAT WORK AL!!LONG LIVE THE MAVERICK DAVIS!!!LONG LIVE THE RAIDERS!! AND LONG LIVE THE RAIDER NATION!!!
———————————————
Dude, just cause you shout in caps doesn’t mean you’re making persuasive points. You choose to believe in tattered myth of Davis, good for you. But you can’t seriously judge him on anything other than wins on the field. Let’s see, what’s the record over the past 20 years…???
August 7th, 2011 at 8:10 pm
If we had last years schedule, we could go 9-7 or 10-6, as we gave two games away last year. Jano missed a 28 yard chip shot with 5 seconds to go that gives us a victory against the Rams, and we were in the Red zone 5 or 6 times against the 49ers last year and came away with 6 points. So, we were close to a 10-6 season. Of course, it’s “shoulda, coulda, woulda.” Our schedule is much tougher this year, but we seem to be heading in the right direction. If, and this is a BIF IF, Al
Davis can stop meddling, especially with the defensive, and if we get real agressive with blitz and stunts, we could go 9-7, best 10-6. But, why would Al stop doing what he’s been doing all his life as an owner…MEDDLE with his coaches.

Ya know, I think every Raider fan would love to see a qualified GM come into the organization. Will it happen? Who knows, maybe someday. On that note….AD has forgotten more about football than any of you will ever know. Al is the owner and GM of the Oakland Raiders and has every right to meddle with coaching and staffing. I don’t always agree with everything that he does but hey, he is a Raider until further notice.
August 7th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
And those of us who despair of his pathetic “leadership” will continue to hold him accountable for the product he puts on the field–since apparently no one else does. And if any team he continues to run wins a division title I’ll publicly eat my words. Until then, it’s on YOU DEFENDERS to make a coherent case for why this man shouldn’t be run out of town. And please spare me the “it’s his team” angle. If the franchise had a board of directors Davis would have been fired ten years ago.

How in the hell could Jones ignore Ryans horrible record with the Raiders. Ryan lost many many games with his “prevent defense” and his lack of pressure. Ryan doesn’t have the word “blitz” in his defensive game plan. The dude stinks. He’s good at being fat, real fat and running up and down the field with his long white hair blowing in the wind. Looks good on TV, but his results suck.
August 7th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
If the Raiders play as well as they did

9-11 wins is not only within reach but to be expected.

So, when you say the “product” that he puts on the field are you refering to DMAC, Bush, Ford, Reece, Houston, Shonasty, Seymore.
Please explain.
August 7th, 2011 at 8:40 pm
Er, you’re saying Davis deserves credit because the team looks good on paper? How many times has that happened in the past only to see the product flop on the field? As Davis himself has said in the past, “Americans value winners.” As of course he would judge himself. Wins. Titles. Dominance. Those are Davis’ own standards of success.
August 7th, 2011 at 8:46 pm
They flopped on the field in the past because of coaching. I think most in here feel that has beed fixed.
August 7th, 2011 at 9:08 pm
Given recent history, Raider fans have every right to be skeptical about what this team will do. I didn’t realize how much of a fan I was until I went through the past 8 years of not winning.
Now, we have a respectable HC & staff to build a talented young group of players for a better future.
Seeing how Al the Don works, this team must win now to minimize the “tinkering” from the top.
August 7th, 2011 at 9:09 pm
Waddup waddup waddup…Noticed that earlier in the day a list was being put together.
Put me down for Stevie Brown being our MUP for the year.
August 7th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
Did 2 Mock Drafts today and noticed DMC went in the 1st RD both times….glad to see people (respect his talent) know who he is!!!
August 7th, 2011 at 9:12 pm
Might as well get in on this MUP thing:
My MUP is QB Jason Campbell.
“What?” you say? I see it this way. Most everyone, both Raiders fans and the league are looking at him saying that at best he’s a middle of the pack starting QB. My prediction is that he finds himself in the top 10 this season in QB Rating and might even get some consideration for the Pro Bowl. Does he beat out Manning, Rivers and Brady to be voted as a starter? Not likely, but I could see him called upon as a possible backup when Brady does his usual phone in.
OK, reaching high a bit but I will declare he’s my MUP because (if he stays healthy) this will be his best season ever as a starting QB.
My honorable mention as most underrated: Al Davis himself. His rep is so rock bottom awful as a GM. But in reality, he’s done a pretty impressive job so far this year. Better than at least half the GMs out there.
August 7th, 2011 at 9:21 pm
What does “MUP” stand for?
August 7th, 2011 at 9:23 pm
Al deserves credit for
-bringing Hue Jack City in last year to take over this year.
-getting JC at the same time and signing him to a 2 yr contract.
-preparing for the loss of Nnamdi & Gallery in the draft
-acquiring Boss soon after Miller left
-getting Seymour
-drafting quality WRs in late rounds after DHB
-avoiding big name big $$$ low character free agents recently
August 7th, 2011 at 9:36 pm
see post 35 for MUP.
“Underdog/Underrated/Unexpected”.
294. I see where your going with JC as your choice but they have been excluding proven starters. Even Murph was rejected at one point.
I chose Denarius “D-Wow” Moore and some thought that was questionable due to his success in camp. I had a post from May to show that my opinion preceded his camp success though
August 7th, 2011 at 9:50 pm
No, they flopped on the field because of TERRIBLE RUN DEFENSE, which has NOT been fixed or even improved.
Joker and others are right. No run defense + much tougher schedule + QB who had never been top 15 = 7-9 tops!
August 7th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
Zymurge,
In your fantasy, do Roethlisberger, Schaub, and Flacco all get traded to the NFC?
August 7th, 2011 at 10:15 pm
Any fantasy leaguers out there care to share opinions on the RB position. I’m in a league where I get one keeper but can trade for a 2nd protection spot. I did and I’m keeping Aaron Rodgers and DMac. It’s a PPR league. Anyone else care to share thoughts on other RBs out there, aside from the obvious top-tier guys who’ll be kept.
August 7th, 2011 at 10:22 pm
MUP: Would John Henderson count? If so, I want him. If not, Jeremy Ware.
But I want Chimdi Chekwa next year. I think the shoulder will hinder his chances this year…but I already want first dibs on him next year.

Dude, the Raider pass defense was 2nd in the league. What that means is, teams were not about to throw on the Raiders, so they ran. That’s what that means. Now, losing Asomougha is going to hurt. But then again, McClain is no longer a rookie in the middle. You are following all of this right?

Couldn’t have said it better myself about RR, that was one flaw in the Al Davis system that really bothered me. I always wondered how he could pull the wool over on Al, but finally Davis had seen enough of him. But hey, hes’ Mr. Jonses problem now.
August 7th, 2011 at 10:43 pm
Jerry Jones hired Rob Ryan. Jerry Jones has owned the Dallas Cowboys for over twenty years and has two Super Bowl wins in that time. Jones is one of three owners that has GM powers. Al Davis is one of the others. What cred do you have?
August 7th, 2011 at 10:53 pm
Sorry Silver Jim, I didn’t mean to tee off on you, but basically Raider fan chased Ryan from the organization. Now, his twin brother Rex, has revitalized the Jets franchise and had them in the AFC Championship game just last year. Rob is very well respected around the league and the Cowboys are jazzed to have him. So either Raider fan is effed, or the entire NFL coaching hierarchy is effed. Guess we will find out quickly.
August 7th, 2011 at 10:54 pm
Actually, J Jones has 3 SB wins. Two with JJ. One with Switzer.
August 7th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
Not a defense of RR and his prevent D with 5+ minutes and less than a touchdown lead. Just wanted to fact-check.
August 7th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
Jones has won THREE super bowls?? DAMN! (sound of cans getting kicked hard! in office)
August 7th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
Some 2011 predictions:
- The WR position is loaded. Schilens stays healthy. Murphy busts out. Ford is Ford. Moore shows that he’s a future stud at the position.
- Calling DHB the next James Jett is optimistic.
- DMC is a superstar.
- Boss doesn’t approach Miller at a receiver, but is a dominant blocker that boosts the running game. Fans take note.
- Run defense steps up big, pass D takes a step back.
- Shaughnessy is a Pro Bowler, if not defensive player of the year candidate.
- Grads wins the starting job in Cincy. Outperforms Campbell.
- Raiders finish 10-6/11-5 and in the playoffs.

Really no cred in here at all. I know Dallas didnt win SBs’ with RR defense. But he melted when it was crunch time. Jerry has made some good moves, but he has also had some looney ones too.
August 7th, 2011 at 11:30 pm
Seymour, seymour, really? Teams were able to run it on us bEcause they couldn’t pass? Hahaha.
So oakland knew it was coming and stol ranked 29th? Sad.
Dolphins had 186 rushing on us (and threw for over 300).
Jaguars had two 100-yard rushers vs us (embarrassing). Qb torched us too.
Colts’ dominic rhodes looked like a pro bowler vs us.
Texans back-up shoved it down our throat before Foster came in and finished us.
Steelers man-handled our front 7. (ben torched us too)
Beanie Wells had his breakout game against us.
This is all fixed because mcclain is a year older?? Wow.
So a logical counter-argument is Seymour is a year older and we lost our best tackler in the secondary.
Oh, and our out-dated schemes have hurt us 8 years in a row. And we play better teams this year.
Our flawed run-d will again be bottom 10 and wr will again be a bad team because of it.
August 7th, 2011 at 11:37 pm
Nasty, wishful thinking on the improved run defense and on winning 10 games. Think back to how bad campbell was vs steelers and picture him playing the jets, patriots, packers, vikings, and bears defense.
7-9 tops and will put money on it.
We went 2-6 outside our weak division last year for a good reason.

Hey guys, the oldest player on the roster is 34 year old Marcel Reece, I am excited about the future of the Raiders with all these explosive young guys on offense and I am firm believer in HueJax “BULLY” attitude he is instilling in this young influential squad.
I am a little worried about our secondary they seem to be getting worked over a bit. I would like Steve and Jerry to report more about the corner play and the safeties as well. Any blitzes yet?? More D info.
More detailed blogging, please!
August 7th, 2011 at 11:48 pm
We never should’ve lost to SF but they stuffed the run and pressured JC Miami Bruce handed them the game, AZ Bruce couldn’t get it done. Jax we should’ve won by 10 Ford fumbles and a KR cost us that game. I blame JC for Pitt,Tenn and SF he didn’t play well in either game. He was nails in Jax, good enough vs Indy. There is your season QB yoyo and JC. We’ll win 10 games this year if not more.
August 7th, 2011 at 11:49 pm
Marcel Reece is more like 26 years old he’s a 4th year pro.
August 7th, 2011 at 11:53 pm
Priest, you are right, Shane Lechler(35yo) is our oldest player
August 7th, 2011 at 11:56 pm
Jason C. should feel more comfortable with his teammates and should find a way to put the ball in a playmaker’s hands on every down. The key is offensive line play, it will make or break our season.
August 8th, 2011 at 12:05 am
“Bruce handed them the game”.Come on Priest,the defense handed Miami that game.McFadden(the CB) looked like a high school CB against all pros.We could have had Payton that day and got our clock cleaned.Bruce didn’t help,hell,he shouldn’t have even been in the game,but to put the loss on him is highly questionable.

In a couple minutes it will be Monday, which means just 3 more days until Thursday and our opener. Can’t wait, just wish it counted and it wasn’t a pre-season game. Question? Does the team basically rest on Wednesday, maybe just stick to going over the game plan and other non-contact preperations?
Good nite Raiders fans. Give yourselves credit…we actually made it through (Feb thru July) the dead zone period of no NFL or Raiders football. Tough months to get by, but they’re over with now, and it’s all about the road to the playoffs. Hope our time is now.

Say what you will about Coach Davis, but he stands alone, and you don’t. Get ovah it!
If you don’t like what the Raiders are doing, leave or deal with it. Haters go home.
Tired of the haters hatin’ on Coach.Get a life, OK? Al your hatin’ don’t mean a thing to Coach Davis or Coach Hue.
I know the Raiders struggled lately. So what. They ain’t gonna struggle this year. Deal with that haters.
Coach bringin’ the Raiders back to greatness, and your not. Eat that one for lunch.
Al Davis is doin the best he can, and this year all will be forgiven. If you got a problem with that, try runnin the franchise yourself. Wouldn’t even last a minute, so quit rippin on Coach. I know you ain’t gonna do better.
You don’t like Coach Davis, then scoot along and go find a maple syrup convention to attend. Go look for seashells by the seashore. Just beat it, wanker.

Al Davis is doin the best he can, and this year all will be forgiven. If you got a problem with that, try runnin the franchise yourself. Wouldn’t even last a minute, so quit rippin on Coach. I know you ain’t gonna do better.
You don’t like Coach Davis, then scoot along and go find a maple syrup convention to attend. Go look for seashells by the seashore. Just beat it, wanker.
Raiders goin all the way baby, just win baby.

Jerry Jones hired Rob Ryan. Jerry Jones has owned the Dallas Cowboys for over twenty years and has two Super Bowl wins in that time. Jones is one of three owners that has GM powers. Al Davis is one of the others. What cred do you have?
********************************************************
Those three Super Bowls were won with the teams that Jimmy Johnson built, and that is well-documented. The Cowboys haven’t won squat since Jerrah decided he could do the job just as well as Jimmy.
Jerry Jones is a clown, and a carnival barker. He’s the GM because he owns the team and he thinks he knows football. Give the man credit for building the BUSINESS of the Dallas Cowboys, but don’t think for a minute that he deserves credit for those three Super Bowls. Those were Jimmy Johnson’s teams. He built them, and he coached them.
Everyone said that Rob Ryan would have success once he got out of Oakland. Well, he stunk it up in Cleveland with his own system. He ain’t Rex and he ain’t Buddy, football-wise. He is a fat loudmouth, though, so I guess he did get SOME of the Ryan genes.

To our last post Edward…
I also believe this team can overcome any obstacle..Coach Cable started this attitude and Hue can build upon it….Even with Dmac out awhile,imo

…Davis can stop meddling, especially with the defensive, and if we get real agressive with blitz and stunts, we could go 9-7, best 10-6. But, why would Al stop doing what he’s been doing all his life as an owner…MEDDLE with his coaches.
—————————————–
A keener observation was never made on this blog friend. Really, now, what do they say about engaging in the same behavior over and over expecting a different outcome? Anybody remember the term for that?
__________________________________________
…sigh… pathetic.
___________________________________________
Some of you just don’t get it … Al has finally gotten rid of the Callahans and the Cables of the world and brought in Hue and some solid Raiders from the past – the Wiz and Bieckert, along with a Hall of Famer to coach the d-backs, in Woodson. Now, without a dramatic overhaul of the roster and a team that finished strong last year, I think the Raiders are way ahead of the 8-ball. I could be wrong, but all the prognosticators who are saying that the AFC West comes down to KC and San Diego, are overlooking the team that they don’t want to admit is turning the corner. For years, the Raiders have been nothing more than a punchline — last year changed that; this year will destroy it completely! Drink up, me hearteys!!

It will be interesting to see what our starting lineup on the O-line will be this week .. and also, how it may or may not change up between then and Week 1 … either way, they can just sit and watch because Tebow, or Orton, or Elway, or Norris Weese, or Craig Morton, or whoever the Donks put behind Center is gonna be in for a bruisin’!!

Our O-line started 2hit on all cylinders last,kinda like a preview of GREATNESS 2come.
When Barrett Robbins was our C,he was dominating and thus we were 2.Too bad about Barrett.Thats why I was screaming 4 Alex Mack….
We got da Wiz and we will return 2 greatness,ie,ramming the ball down a D throat

August 8th, 2011 at 5:48 am
Hey 4Eeva! Peace be with you!
No,beer time yet. All things in time.
I’m actually starting to feel a little better about this iffy offensive line because it’s starting to look as if it might be Satele at center, with Veldheer at left tackle and baby Wizz at LG and Carlise at RT.
I don’t meant that’s a great line at all-it’s not- but it’s better than starting four rookies with a rookie at center.

This team will be much better this year. However, I still don’t believe Campbell is the answer. I really think Edwards will be much better QB.
August 8th, 2011 at 5:54 am
ENGLANDRAIDER…
last year it seemed Coach Cable could just insert a guy into any position on the O-line….That was Cables gig,the O-line and he could mix and match with them and make it work.Hue is inheriting a waaay better team than coach Cable.its a testament on Cables intricate knowaldge of a working O-line.We are better off by having Coach Cable,a life-long member of the Raider Nation,I might add,as a Head Coach,even if 4 only awhile,imo….Go Hue!

That’s right 4eva.
Cable screwed around with the line lot. First Veldheer was LT, then he was C, then he was LT.
None of that rotating Velheer with with Henderson made any sense to me either.
At the end of the day though Cable had a servicable line making us the second best running team.
Al screwed that up at the end of the year, but it looks like Jackson might be putting some kind of line together.
Not a great line, but something better than it looked.

I’m not sure; on the one hand, I was hoping that we would give him one more shot — but since we only invested a 4th round in him, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him cut loose. If we had been smarter, we would be in that position with DHB instead of Campbell!

Goethel for MUP.
August 8th, 2011 at 6:50 am
Cornerback Stanford Routt shadowed receiver Steve Goulet on a pass play, read the route, jumped it and broke up the pass.
That prompted Jackson to yell, “Hey, Stanley, that’s what I’m talking about. Now you got to come back to the next play.”
Fast forward to the next play: Goulet got behind Routt, hauled in a strike from Boller, with safety Stevie Brown late in help

Second-year linebacker Travis Goethel has worked at all three spots during camp. That’s part of taking advantage of Goethel’s versatility and determination, Jackson said.
“He can play all three spots,” Jackson said. “He is very bright, he is a hitter. He is a guy we lean on to do a lot of different things. (He’s) another one of those players who is young and talented on this football team.”

This crap makes my blood boil. The ignorant NFL fan, like these Jet sycophants, really believe we made a mistake by hiring Hue Jackson. They are too stupid to realize that Cable was not a true Leader or HC material. if Al lets Hue control the roster and play the best players that the product on the field will be so different. The raiders will never take beating like we received from the jets last year. Jackson is not going to stand for stupid penalties, bonehead turnovers, and lack of discipline. Accountability will be demanded and players will respond because Coach jackson is a real leader and can and will demand that his players perform up to his expectation. I expect that to be the noticeable difference in this team. If Al lest Hue do his job, then we will not see senseless blowouts and guys quitting, as we did under Cable. I do believe that under, Jackson, like Gruden, even when we lost we were in every game.

August 8th, 2011 at 7:46 am
All NFL rosters have talented football players and freakish athletes so coaching and scheme do make all the difference. The fact that we have a confident, in charge true leader of men will show on the field immediately. Jackson is everything that cable was not and he is exactly what this team, organization, and fan base needs right now and if Al will let him build a winner in Oakland then he will eventually do it somewhere else, just like Gruden. I am hopeful Al lets this man coach and lead as HE sees fit.

Were these new rules voted in and in affect this year?
Possible changes:
• Kickoffs from the 35-yard line (as they used to be years ago). Those stupid deflated K balls just don’t reach the end zone, especially when it gets cold later in the season.
• Touchbacks come out to the 25-yard line instead of the 20. So don’t kick that stupid deflated K ball too far…
• Suspensions instead of fines for illegal hits on “defenseless” players, defined as follows: A quarterback in the act of throwing; a receiver trying to catch a pass; a runner already in the grasp of tacklers and having his forward progress stopped; a player fielding a punt or a kickoff; a kicker or punter during the kick; a quarterback at any time after change of possession; a receiver who receives a blind-side block (Huh? Maybe they mean a defender getting blind-sided by a WR, as Hines Ward is known for doing?); a player already on the ground.

How can DHB be the most underrated player and the most overrated player at the same time? And if losing Tom Cable was such a mistake, wouldn’t he be a head coach somewhere else?

I grew up in the 80s and watched the greatest reciever ever to play the game drop a few he should have caught, so I wouldn’t trip over one drop in camp. If it’s in the end zone during the playoffs we should burn him at the stake.

Very correct. You average Raider basher does not realize Cable was in over his head that the Raiders have an excellent HC/leader now that we have sorely been lacking. If Cable was not a flimsy HC then the team goes 11-5 last year.

If our only changes to our Oline are Barnes at RT and Wiz at LG, I’d have to say that my optimism for that unit is not that high.
C to RT was the absolute worst part of our Oline last year.
August 8th, 2011 at 8:11 am
So the question becomes. How affective are great DE’s going to be when most big plays are made that second just before the ball comes out. And #21 leaving isnt such a big deal when you can no longer break up a pass.

Say what you want about the pimp hand but he got our house in order, got rid of the knuckleheads and had one of the best drafts in Raider history.
All this after taking over for Kiff who did everything in his power to screw the Raiders after learning he did not get the Arkansas job. We were a terrible team, the laughing stock of the NFL.
Hue has not had a single game as head coach and we are being talked about as up and comers, maybe division winners, and having a great future.
Like it or not Tom had a lot to do with returning the Raiders to respectable. And dont think for one minute that the NFL brass has not noticed.
Lets see if he turns around a woeful seacawk oline like he did ours and I would not be suprised to see him as a head coach again
August 8th, 2011 at 8:34 am
RRS, yeah I beleive Nick is a keeper. He would flourish given the photo opp…However, he has 2 things to gfight, better WR’s in front, and politics…

The more tape I see of the rookie WR. D. Moore, the more I could see him as a potenial 1# WR option.

True however, comparing coach Jacksons play calling to cable is really no comparison as cable was in over his head, and should have been fired for that…
We can score points now,something we couldnt do under cable…

I think we have one of the most athletic teams in the league, both sides of the ball. Clearly one of the fastest, if not the hands down fastest team in the league. With that said, with the right coaching, we may finally start to see these superior athletes that we have on our team finally start to make some plays this season.

August 8th, 2011 at 8:45 am
I’m still trying to figure out the earlier comment from my man 4eva that gives Cable credit for our smashmouth attitude.
Where was this tough guy attitude from our team and Oline prior to last year?
Seems like it changed once we went to a power scheme and got an in your face coach on that side of the ball running the offense.

Soon we will all know the job Cable did with the O-Line.
I am guessing it will be the area we miss him the most, the one thing he did well was get us to #2 in rushing with a make shift O-Line. If Hue can get the same results from this years O-Line then Cable will not be missed.
August 8th, 2011 at 8:47 am
I’m really looking foward to seeing these young guys in action Thur. Most of the starting positions are pretty much locked down, unless we have some injuries.
The oline i’m really looking foward to see and how that plays out.
The DB’s and WR matchups will be interesting as well.
I think all these young guys are really stepping up and the coaches will have some hard decisions to make come cut time!

You are correct, I hope Hue leads us to the promised land, nonetheless some of the people who blast Tom are out of line. Tom pulled us out of the pit with his pimp hand. You can give Hue credit but Tom was at the helm.
I amnot saying Tom is the next VL. Just saying he deserves some respect. He was an unknown, he was put in a horrible situation with very little chance at success, yet he managed to put the Oakland Raiders back on the map. We are no longer a laughing stock of the league and for that I am grateful to the pimp hand

If Cable was not responsible then Al stepped out of form and did something he never does.
It seemed to me that Tom was able to convince Al to draft the players instead of the players Al usually drafts.
I do not know who was responsible, yet I am sure Tom had some say in the matter.

I explained my Branch pick above:
# YoungAmerican Says:
August 7th, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Try not to chose a “proven NFL starter” Thanks!
——————
Proven NFL starter? Branch had a pretty terrible year last year, giving up more TDs than any other member of the secondary by a relatively large margin. At the strong safety position, Branch is also facing a push for playing time by one of the owner’s pet projects, Mike Mitchell. Very few Raider starters performed worse than Branch last season.
If any player has room for improvement in 2010, Branch does. I think he’ll bounce back nicely, and be the most improved player on the roster in 2011.
August 8th, 2011 at 8:56 am
If Tom Cable was not responsible for the best draft in Raider history then the old, washed up, demented, pathetic GM should get the credit for the last two drafts.
Al cannot be blamed for JR and DHB and Gallery, etc, unless he gets the blame for the last two drafts as well.
The draft is mostly a crapshot anyway

August 8th, 2011 at 8:57 am
Campbell should have a good season he is actually working in a same system which he hasnt in a while. I see him getting 20+ tds this year. We have too many weapons on offense i dont see why he cant get 20+. He couldve had 20 sum tds last year he started all season and if tom cable didnt have his man crush on bruce. And on defense only concern is the secondary wheneva i see a pass i will jus hold my breath and hope its broken up or int. Other than that this team will go far. And for the offense the oline is the concern if they can learn to protect jcam then we will be fine. Last thing GO RAIDERSSSS
August 8th, 2011 at 8:58 am
If any player has room for improvement in 2010, Branch does.

Jhill….you saw what Coach Cable did with this team in 2 yrs and 5 games.Hell he turned the ship around,the players bought into him.Yep his 1st full season he was 8-8,thats great considering #2 and rookie WR”s,no O,no D,no QB.Everyone can see what Cable inherited and what he turned it into.hue takes over a ship ALREADY sailing in the right direction.I mean Hue,meaning no disrespect,hasnt even coached a preseason game.Cable left Hue a waaay better team than he himself inherited.Lets see what Hue can do with the team Cable was building.
August 8th, 2011 at 9:00 am
Plunk,
Al Davis always drafts drafts positions of need. Some may disagree with the player, but the position was always correct.
Tom Cable did not find Jared Veldheer at Hillsdale college, mayne.

We are on the right track. The track Al always takes to the SB. Even though we have “only” been to the SB 5 times we have been to the AFC Championship many times and we just missed going many times more.
Al makes SB runs like no other owner. Thats not an owner in the NFL that can touch him. Anyone even close is dead.
He promised to take us back to the SB and we are on the way with Hue leading the charge

***************
You make a compelling argument YA.
Yet, Branch was an instrumental part of the #2 passing defense in the league last year. Coach Jackson says Branch is the hardest working player he’s ever seen. Last season he had over 100 tackles,4 sacks, a FF, and an INT. Plus, although he may get faked out of the play at times, nobody in the NFL can outrun him. He has started 32/32 games for the Raiders in the past two years, and I’m sure he would be the starter on many other NFL teams.
I’m not saying he’s a HOFer, but for a Raider – he is an uncontested starter – and therefor not a qualified MUP.
Sorry, but the line in the sand has to be drawn somewhere…
August 8th, 2011 at 9:09 am
Just look at the athleticism in our backfield alone, the size speed combo. What other RB in the league is built like Darren McFadden, currently? With that much upper body strength, but still running a 4.34. The fact that hes dedicated the offseason to gettin STRONGER is crazy. Even though he still falls short athletically, I think DMAC is the closest thing to Bo in the league at RB, as far as speed and strength combo. Peterson is better inside because of his lower body strength, but on the outside, with DMacs size and strength, its gonna be a nightmare for ANY defender trying to stop him. Add the fact that he is one of the best receiving RBs in the league, (Id say only behind R. Bush), and that is a very understated weapon we have. Then to have Michael Bush behind him, and though hes not solid muscle, hes still very big, and difficult to bring down, as weve seen. But his vision is exceptional, and when someone that big is coming at you, and still running 4.55 speed, thats not EASY to bring down. The league is afraid of our backfield, whether other teams “fans” wanna admit or not. Coaches know its not gonna be easy gameplanning a way to stop it. If the WRs make any kind of stride this year, with their speed and athleticism, there will be TDs.

What do you mean he was 8-8 in his first full season?
Wasn’t he 5-11?
Didn’t HIS QB only win one game for us last year?
I’m just trying to point to something that I can give him credit for as a HC. Not as a person or a guy I’d be down to hang out with, but as a HC.
I don’t see how we can give Cable credit for the Oline improvement when we installed Hue’s scheme?
His most talked about moment was him pimping a, uh, 180lbs asst coach?

How much would it increase the Raiders chances of winning if DMAC was Top 3 in any of these categories?
0-2 fumbles?
16-game starter?
Steve & Jerry state that he has some lofty expectations for the season. Most Raider fans have already penciled him in as a 2012 Pro Bowl starter. We’ll see what happens.
Maybe he can make Hue Jackson say “WOW!” a few more times?
August 8th, 2011 at 9:30 am
4eva,
If you simply want to point at the 8-8 record and give Cable to credit for it, then it is what it is?
I was just trying to understand specifically what you were giving him credit for.
August 8th, 2011 at 9:32 am
Ted,
with a 29th ranked Run Defense, anybody who thinks Kelly & McClain shouldn’t be on the “needs improvement” list should have thier head examined imo
August 8th, 2011 at 9:32 am
Just an FYI:
“Former LSU star JaMarcus Russell plans to return to school this fall, Michael Bonnette, the school’s sports information director, tweeted last week.
Bonnette said that Russell was at LSU’s football practice recently and provided the information himself. Bonnette told Lost Lettermen that Russell has already moved back to Baton Rouge and is close to acquiring his degree after leaving early for the NFL draft.
Russell was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft and started for the Oakland Raiders for two seasons before eventually losing his job to Bruce Gradkowski in 2009. Russell was arrested last summer for having “Purple Drank” and spent all of last fall out football.
With his 26th birthday on Tuesday, it appears more and more likely we will never see Russell throw a football again.”

Going 6-0 in the divison, last year, and 8-8 on the year.
Hell, I will give him credit for managing to win 6 or 7 games with Jamarcus as his QB.
He should have won COY votes for milking some wins from that loser!!!
August 8th, 2011 at 9:34 am
Good for Jamarcus.
I always knew his passion was not football. I’m rooting for a success story on the back-end of this all.

Lefty and I probably started getting this think off track by picking DHB, and we both agreed to go in a different direction early on. But with everyone essentially writing him off and even saying he would be cut, I guess no one had a problem with him remaining our pick.
RoMac is a STUD and clearly was not a player that would qualify, but he’s been on the list from early on as well.
I’ll change my pick to Ausberry instead of DHB, BigTed.
August 8th, 2011 at 9:37 am
Huff is excellent in coverage.
One could argue that they want more interceptions from thier free safety, but taking chances doesn’t always work out in your favor. I’d rather Huff break up a pass than gamble and lose on a 4 & 10 in the 4th qtr. You know what I’m saying?
CJ37 is a perfect example of this. He can ballhawk with the best of’em. But do you want him to? Sometimes he gets TOASTED out there as a result of this …
Anybody who claims Huff can’t tackle should go back and watch the St Louis game from last season where he constantly putting the hammer on Steven Jackson – probably the hardest back to bring down in the league outside of Brandon Jacobs
August 8th, 2011 at 9:37 am
Huff, RoMac should not qualify.
I could see Campbell and Murphy, because there was some level of disappointment with those two last year to the sane bloggers on here.
But Campbell or Murphy would have to be miles better than last year to win. Pro Bowl type stuff.
Can’t just go from average, to slightly above-average and win.

I think those players that contributed significantly last year are expected to contribute again. The MUP is for “Most Under-rated Player”, not most improved. I’ve been trying to get the “Studs and starters*” off the list, and get people to pick a dark-horse.

Tom Cable was horrible as our HC. Hue Jackson running the offense, Al Davis cutting Cable’s girlfriend, Justine Farglass, and a cake schedule are the only reasons we were 8-8 last year.
It will be three times more difficult to go 8-8 this season for Hue, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t do a better jobn than Cable.

Thats what I said B4….if Hue goes 8-8 with the schedule we have,8-8 will be an improvment,imo
August 8th, 2011 at 10:03 am
Fargas had 2 retire just so Dmac could get his chance,dont ya know?

If the Raiders can go 6-2 at home, then they can probably go 9-7 on the year. Gotta’ defend the Home Turf!
The Chiefs went 7-1 at home last year (guess who beat ‘em). They only beat CLE, SEA, and STL on the road, yet went 10-6 and won the div.
We need that kind of home-field advantage!
August 8th, 2011 at 10:16 am
This is something that I want to say to any willing to listen. In any organization you have a heirarchy each role is individual and distinct. Not telling most oof you something you don’t already know. The difference is when it comes to an NFL team the roles seem to get blirred for some reason.
When you take a HC job in the NFL it means that YOU COACH the team and that is all you do. It doesn’t mean draft players it doesn’t mean run the organization fire players and cut deals. It means COACH THE TEAM on the field some fans think it means the HC selects the players and runs the organization. Being a HC is all consuming and a HUGE undertaking. Few men who get those jobs can do just that. But fans think they should have the say over player evals and personnel moves and how the organization should be ran. You are wrong it means coach the team on the field because that is a big enough job and most can’t do it.
So when people say someone meddles it depends on what you mean. Players when they are have certain issues have to go to management because the HC doesn’t handle that part of the organization. Some owners have no idea if the ball blown up or stuffed. They can’t interact with any degree of knowledge with the coaches. The difference with our owners is he has done it all. He has great background in most phases of of what take sto get the job done. He sees things just like a coach because he IS a coach when Hue saw that HE started calling him coach. The smart coaches for the oakland Raiders lean on that show it the respect it deserves and then know just how much of it to utilize in their own program. They don’t have to use any if they don’t want but most who are smart do. Anytime you see wisdom it’s wise not to ignore it. Hue Jackson saw that and is using it to his advantage the same way Gruden did Flores and Madden. To some extent so did Cable, he just went astray a bit and basically wasn’t up to the task.
If Hue is smart he’ll do what Flores and Madden did and just coach, that is why they were successful they stayed within what they knew and could handle when you try to do what you don’t know is when the problems begin. Stay in your role and let those in theirs stay in theirs. That’s what makes great organizations when each individual knows and perfects HIS role.

I’d pick DHB as my MUP only cause I have such high hopes for all our other WR if he does well then WOW!

August 8th, 2011 at 10:40 am
************D. Moore***************
One thing I noticed right away about Moore looking at his highlights in college is he always made catches with his hands and went up to grab the ball at its highest point. Every catch he made was with his hands not trapping the ball, no letting it hit his chest all confident catches with his hands. That is what you want to see out of a good WR.
We will see how he ends up. If he turns into a starter Oakland’s scouting team needs to get its props. By the way ever since J. Russell they have been scouting pretty well.

Give it a rest. Cable sucked. He was a terrible coach. Davis was an idiot for giving him the job in the first place.
August 8th, 2011 at 10:47 am
what…and keep kiffy? hahahahahahahaaaaahahahahahha
August 8th, 2011 at 10:48 am
The Cable man did a decent job but decent does not get you to a Superbowl. The big change came last year when we were able to generate some offense that was the big change. Who was the Offensive Coordinator Jackson. So if Al wanted to let cable go after he beat up a coach and lost his cool. I think Jackson was a good pick up as a coach. Plus, he has a lot of Jon Gruden’s style and last time I looked Gruden’s style worked for the Raiders.
Stay positive they are trying to turn the ship around.
August 8th, 2011 at 10:50 am
Cable should be in prison.
August 8th, 2011 at 10:54 am
Dvrick:
WR’s Mike Williams & Sidney Rice plus TE’s Miller & Carlson should give the QB plenty of options.
Deon Butler is injured.
Marshawn Lynch, Justin Forsett & Leon Washington should give Seattle some sort of running game as well.
Seattle has no QB and their Defense (aside from the LB’s) is trash.
Assuming the Rams get better because Bradford is a soph and he’ll have Donnie Avery, Mike Sims-Walker & Austin Pettis at WR plus Jerious Norwood & Cadillac Williams to back up Steven Jackson at RB is a safe bet imo
the 49ers will get better because of Jim Harbaugh. add to that Colin Kaepernick & Braylon Edwards. Iupati & Davis as sophs
Cards improve with Kolb at QB. Ryan Williams at RB. TE’s Heap & King. Peterson & Marshall at corner
I give the bluebirds a 50/50 shot at winning the weakest division in football (NFC West)
August 8th, 2011 at 10:55 am
Raiders got better when they got rid of garbage players who were just collecting a check. Once they got young guys in who wanted to win and play for their money they got better.
Cable was a player’s coach. And they played for him because they liked him. They won because they have talent. Now with real coaching that talent will blossom.

J,
several things to consider:
Do the Raiders go unbeaten against division opponents again this year? probably not
Do the Raiders have a tougher schedule than last year? yes
Do the Raiders get better without players like Gallery, Miller & Asomugha? probably not
Losing coaches like Cable & Marshall in exchange for Wylie & Bresnahan doesn’t inspire much confidence either.
The only front seven defensive starter from last year is presumably Travis Goethel at WLB and he’s gonna make all the difference from being 29th against the run to Top 15? probably not
If all the stars align and fall into place, the Raiders could go 10-6 with Hue Jackson as a 1st year Head Coach under Al’s thumb … but the liklihood of that happening is NOT great

The debacle that was the 2011 off season (and I’m not talking about the lockout, I’m talking about Raiders management alone..)
- Tom Cable, head coach who led us to our first non-losing season since 2002, fired.
- Bruce Gradkowski, solid backup QB, not re-signed, and for no logical reason. His asking price was relatively small. He would eventually be replaced with Trent Edwards, who has been far worse than him in the past couple of years.
- Nnamdi Asomugha, arguably the best cornerback in the NFL today, not re-signed. His replacement is Stanford Routt, who’s average, at best.
- Zach Miller, who, along with Asomugha, had been one of our few bright spots in the post-Gruden era of losing and dysfunction, is not re-signed. He would be replaced with Kevin Boss, a TE with far inferior stats.
Basically, Al Davis has dismantled the team that improved by 3 wins last year…STARTING AT THE TOP! It’s unheard of. He basically purged the team of its best talent. I guess to the types of fans that go to every game and paint their faces no matter what, it doesn’t matter. But to ones like me that actually prefer to spend their money on something worth while, forget it. Until Al Davis is gone, I refuse to spend a dime on this team. All I can do is watch at home and hope the train wreck isn’t so devastating as to where Al’s eventual successor wouldn’t be able to fix it in ample time.

The debacle that was the 2011 off season (and I’m not talking about the lockout, I’m talking about Raiders management alone..)
- Tom Cable, head coach who led us to our first non-losing season since 2002, fired.
- Bruce Gradkowski, solid backup QB, not re-signed, and for no logical reason. His asking price was relatively small. He would eventually be replaced with Trent Edwards, who has been far worse than him in the past couple of years.
- Nnamdi Asomugha, arguably the best cornerback in the NFL today, not re-signed. His replacement is Stanford Routt, who’s average, at best.
- Zach Miller, who, along with Asomugha, had been one of our few bright spots in the post-Gruden era of losing and dysfunction, is not re-signed. He would be replaced with Kevin Boss, a TE with far inferior stats.
Basically, Al Davis has dismantled the team that improved by 3 wins last year…STARTING AT THE TOP! It’s unheard of. He basically purged the team of its best talent. I guess to the types of fans that go to every game and paint their faces no matter what, it doesn’t matter. But to ones like me that actually prefer to spend their money on something worth while, forget it. Until Al Davis is gone, I refuse to spend a dime on this team. All I can do is watch at home and hope the train wreck isn’t so devastating as to where Al’s eventual successor wouldn’t be able to fix it in ample time.

Raiders will be 12-4 this year.
CODE BLACK!

MR this is the most logical thing you’ve written here. An I’ve been in here for a very long time. Though I don’t agree with you. You at least gave a point worth reading.
Raiders 10-6 possibly 11-5
Go Raiders!!!

This crap makes my blood boil. The ignorant NFL fan, like these Jet sycophants, really believe we made a mistake by hiring Hue Jackson. They are too stupid to realize that Cable was not a true Leader or HC material. if Al lets Hue control the roster and play the best players that the product on the field will be so different. The raiders will never take beating like we received from the jets last year. Jackson is not going to stand for stupid penalties, bonehead turnovers, and lack of discipline. Accountability will be demanded and players will respond because Coach jackson is a real leader and can and will demand that his players perform up to his expectation. I expect that to be the noticeable difference in this team. If Al lest Hue do his job, then we will not see senseless blowouts and guys quitting, as we did under Cable. I do believe that under, Jackson, like Gruden, even when we lost we were in every game. http://www.jetsinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=232147

Riots in London hahaha im out to get few Raider shirts ,sorry Al
August 8th, 2011 at 11:52 am
Chris, I couldn’t have said it better. Nnamdi shut down one half of the field when he was with us. Basically Nnamdi kept us from being abysmal. Sure, our record sucked, but we had some solid outings on defense. And, Nnamdi IS the top reason for it. Without him, we would have been something between the Bad News Bears and the Washington Generals the past decade. His absence is huge. Stanford Routt couldn’t be Nnamdi if he was born again with Nnamdi’s DNA. He’d still suck. That’s how non-Nnamdi he is.

How do you claim Routt is inferior to Nnamdi when their stats say they are equal (they allowed an identical 39.4% completion rate, routt actually had better stats otherwise) and say Boss is a major downgrade to Zach (the only stat zach wins in is receptions, boss has a better ypc and more TDs, also no stat for blocking or redzone production)
——————————————
What, are you just making it up as you go along? All of sudden, despite the collective opinion of nearly the entire NFL, you claim Routt is the better CB? Hilarious.
August 8th, 2011 at 11:59 am
There is no way anyone can think Routt is a better CB than Nnamdi
August 8th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Remember Nnamdi struggled his first couple seasons too.
When CWood left in FA Nnam step in an struggled but finally came along due to rWoodson
who’s the DB coach now. None other.
The Raiders DB’s will be fine. Just sit back an watch.

Doesnt look like he was saying Routts better, in fact, looks like hes using the Routts better stats, with an understanding that Nnamdi is still better, despite Routts better stats last year, to prove how ridiculous it is to state that the Raiders downgraded “significantly” at TE just because Miller was better statistically in a few areas.

Thank you… SOMEONE in here has the IQ to be able to grasp this.
Again. I agree that Nnamdi is BETTER THAN ROUTT!!!!!
My point was, their stats show that they are equal, and MR CANT tell me that he thinks the Boss signing is a downgrade because of stats AND that the stats for Nnamdi and routt dont matter in the SAME POST. Its ignorant trolling at its finest.

I did NOT claim Routt was better. I simply stated the FACT that Routt was either equal to or better than Nnamdi in every single stat last year (except TDs allowed) so by MRs OWN LOGIC (saying Boss is a significant downgrade to Miller based on stats)HE must think Routt is better than Nnamdi.

I never said anything of the sort about Cable. If you go back and look (and I have NEVER posted on this board under anything other than “RaiderDuck” or “Raider Duck”), I was never a fan of Cable, but was willing to give him a chance.
You, on the other hand, constantly belittled him, and actually mocked those who thought he could be a good head coach.
Now that he’s gone, don’t go all revisionist and say you loved him from the start, because that’s simply not the case.

We lose Nnamdi but because of the $ saved we’re able to retain the services of Michael Huff who approached pro bowl level play, Michael Bush who’s the best #2 back in the league, Routt who had the 3rd best burn rate in the league, and Kam Wimbley who had 9 sacks last year among others and we still have 2 corners who are top six in the league in burn rate (routt and cj) = smart move Al
We lose Zmiller but we’re able to sign Boss for cheaper and he’s a better blocker and although both have concussion concerns Zmillers foot is much more of long term liability than Boss’s hip=smart move Al

dvrick,
please give some examples. Mike Singletary is pulling his pants down and making his best players feel like clowns.
Hue Jack is cussing his guys out and talking trash
both disciplined, but very different imo.
HJ = offensive minded HC and doubles as play caller
MS = defensive minded HC and basically gives the Offense to somebody else (Martz, Raye, etc)
August 8th, 2011 at 12:46 pm
DMAC = not a happy camper?
now you’re just a liar.
the guy grew up a Donk fan, but he’s had silver & black blood since we drafted him.

Saying Cable was a lousy HC,which he was,is not the same as saying the players quit on him.When the team quits on a HC they don’t go out in their final game of the season with nothing to play for and embarrass the division champs who are on their way to the play-offs.
==================================
The players loved Cable. Even Al admitted as such.
However, there is a difference between a coach who is loved by his players, and one who can get those players to win consistently.
Rob Ryan is similarly loved by his players, but yet his defenses always suck.

Oh, btw, Raider Duck…
Funny how you thought Cable was Madden 2.0 when Al hired him, but the moment Al canned him, you suddenly started to deride and belittle him. See how easy this game is?
==============================================
I never said anything of the sort about Cable. If you go back and look (and I have NEVER posted on this board under anything other than “RaiderDuck” or “Raider Duck”), I was never a fan of Cable, but was willing to give him a chance.
You, on the other hand, constantly belittled him, and actually mocked those who thought he could be a good head coach.
Now that he’s gone, don’t go all revisionist and say you loved him from the start, because that’s simply not the case.

MR and RMR goin at it. LMFAO!
August 8th, 2011 at 12:51 pm
I don’t think there is any way you can say the team quit last year.
I think they certainly tried to win every game they played, especially down the stretch.
It was a good run.
Can’t wait until Thursday so we can officially move on.

Remember when the Raiders could have drafted Brace and traded the pick to New England? Many Raider fans were p1ssed because they thought Brace could have really helped us. I should know. I was one of them

RR,
When was the last time we won an east coast early game? 2002?
We’ve lost to Houston 3 times in a row, each time their run game just shredding us, be it Ron Dayne, Steve Slaton, Derrick Ward, or Arian Foster.
If we remove the Raider-fan bias, we will be underdogs and probably lose to the Patriots, Jets, and Texans in the first 5 weeks.
If we win our first east coast game in Buffalo, I’ll be ecstatic and we’ll be 2-3.
August 8th, 2011 at 1:17 pm
we’ll either be 4-3 or 5-2 entering the bye week
write that down.
last 4 weeks of the season will decide our late.
2-2 finish in the last 4 games may not cut it in the AFC West this year.
Dungver will be bad, but not 4-12 bad. SD & KC might each win 10 games. Oakland controls it’s own destiny
August 8th, 2011 at 1:18 pm

August 8th, 2011 at 1:19 pm
Then comes the brutal stretch a little after that:
Vikings, Bears, Dolphins, Packers.
Underdogs in each of those. Likely lose 3 of 4.
I don’t remember Campbell looking good vs a legit defense (outside of sunny home away from home SD) like…ever in his career.

Raiders will do very good this year, and that will bring grief to some here on this blog, because they want to see the Raiders do bad.
Will the Raiders do bad? Ain’t gonna happen.
Say what you will about Coach Davis, but he stands alone, and you don’t. Get ovah it!
If you don’t like what the Raiders are doing, leave or deal with it. Haters go home.
Tired of the haters hatin’ on Coach.Get a life, OK? Al your hatin’ don’t mean a thing to Coach Davis or Coach Hue.
I know the Raiders struggled lately. So what. They ain’t gonna struggle this year. Deal with that haters.
Coach bringin’ the Raiders back to greatness, and your not. Eat that one for lunch.
Al Davis is doin the best he can, and this year all will be forgiven. If you got a problem with that, try runnin the franchise yourself. Wouldn’t even last a minute, so quit rippin on Coach. I know you ain’t gonna do better.
You don’t like Coach Davis, then scoot along and go find a maple syrup convention to attend. Go look for seashells by the seashore. Just beat it, wanker.
Raiders goin all the way baby, just win baby.

Raiders will do very good this year, and that will bring grief to some here on this blog, because they want to see the Raiders do bad.
Will the Raiders do bad? Ain’t gonna happen.
Say what you will about Coach Davis, but he stands alone, and you don’t. Get ovah it!
If you don’t like what the Raiders are doing, leave or deal with it. Haters go home.
Tired of the haters hatin’ on Coach.Get a life, OK? Al your hatin’ don’t mean a thing to Coach Davis or Coach Hue.
I know the Raiders struggled lately. So what. They ain’t gonna struggle this year. Deal with that haters.
Coach bringin’ the Raiders back to greatness, and your not. Eat that one for lunch.
Al Davis is doin the best he can, and this year all will be forgiven. If you got a problem with that, try runnin the franchise yourself. Wouldn’t even last a minute, so quit rippin on Coach. I know you ain’t gonna do better.
You don’t like Coach Davis, then scoot along and go find a maple syrup convention to attend. Go look for seashells by the seashore. Just beat it, wanker.
Raiders goin all the way baby, just win baby.

Alex,
i’m not a betting man, but if I was … I surely wouldn’t bet on the Oakland Raiders!
we’ve been atrocious since the Super Bowl loss to Tampa Bay and while I hold out hope for brighter days ahead, I’m very cautious. I’m a realist by nature
the Raiders need to break that nasty habit of playing down to the competition before I’m spending any money on Merch or predicting playoffs
It seemed like Cable finally got this team to OWN the division instead of being owned. Now that he’s gone thats another unknown. I don’t think I can handle another 10+ consecutive losses to Sandy Eggo!

They racked up 500 YARDS of offense on this SAME defense last season.

Yeah, I actually think Detroit is gonna be the second best team out of those teams you listed and dont think that one will be as easy as some may think. The Minn and Mia game should be statement games. Those are teams that the Raiders are VERY capable of beating this year, and the outcome will determine whether or not the Raiders are ready to make the next step. Im not makin a prediction, hey, I hope they win every game. As for KC, they have that stretch starting week 11 AT NE, Vs Pitt, AT Chi, AT Jets, VS GB. Thats gonna be rough for ANY team.

We should have split with SD and KC. Honest fans know that. We lucked out 1st meeting with KC when Bowe dropped a game-clinching 1st down catch, Ford bailed JC out of a game-ending INT. We were a bit lucky.
As for SD, I don’t expect us to block 3 of their kicks this year and have their RB fumble at the goal-line.
It’s very realistic that we’ll go 4-2 in our division.
Can we go 6-4 outside of our division playing the NFC North and AFC East, along with a team we historically lose to (Texans)? Unlikely, but we’ll see.
I wish we had beaten some legit non-AFC west teams last year, but we didn’t.
Much more likely to finish 7-9 than 9-7.
August 8th, 2011 at 1:42 pm
I like the way OAK matches up against CHI – who has the worst pass protection in the league.

It didn’t take a genius to see that Gruden was going to be a better coach than Joe Bugel, despite Gruden having no head-coaching experience.
Same can be said this year.
But yeah, overall our off-season honestly sucked, we kept the team basically the same as the one that finished 29th in run D, and 2-6 out of our division.
And we lost 2 of our 5 most talented players.

Alex, I can’t deny your analysis. But facts are facts. Bottom line is, Bugel was 4-12, not 8-8, as Cable was. Sure, the improvement last year COULD HAVE been due to Jackson’s leadership instead of Cable’s. But that’s unproven. I can only work from the facts. And the fact is, Cable was head coach when the team went 8-8 last year, which is a 3 game improvement from the previous season, and in this league such an improvement is usually enough for an HC to keep his job. The only exception would typically be if a big name HC was available. Hue Jackson isn’t even a name period, let alone a big name. Numbers wise, Cable to Jackson is a downgrade.

Are you saying Asomugha didn’t want to be in Oakland because his life was being threatened here? Something of that nature? I would only accept the notion that a player, coach, or anyone didn’t “want to be here” under the following conditions:
a) The reason deals with their safety, some kind of circumstances that are life or death.
b) this can be proven.
As far as anyone knows, Nnamdi Asomugha didn’t want to be here because the Raiders weren’t willing to do what it took to keep him. So, it’s actually the Raiders who didn’t want Nnamdi Asomugha, as far as anyone knows. So, in conclusion, my point stands, which is that:
The Raiders let Asomugha go and replaced him with someone who has a fraction of his talent.

Kellygreenninja,
“common sense” says Jackson is an upgrade? Common means something that is typical of the majority. So, do the majority of people who pay attention to sports believe that Jackson is an upgrade over Cable? Until you can demonstrate such, you can’t demonstrate that Jackson being an upgrade is “common sense”. Unless, of course, you mean common sense amongst Raider fans. But I doubt even that’s the case. I think the silent majority of Raider fans think Al is nuts and the Raiders are on a free fall. Wouldn’t the ticket sales suggest such?

August 8th, 2011 at 2:02 pm
Well I think our Run D is going to be improved this year. I think the LB play can only be better since we had 3 first year starters at the position which will translate to few “big runs”.
I think our record in those early morning East Coast games was more reflective of the lack of talent we had on the field.
I see us beating Den, Buff, KC, and Cleveland with no problem if our team is healthy.
Marc Sanchez is unbeatable all of a sudden?
We could easily have 5 wins going into the break.

Nnamdi left because he wants to play for a contender.
Nnamdi left because Al didn’t do what it takes to keep him.
And he probably left because of the Cable treatment.
So with that being said, we will still be fine because HueJack is building a bad-ass first bully and it is what it is. No Nnamdi doesn’t mean the end of the world.

No point in being pessimistic right now….we got season on the brink gentlemen
August 8th, 2011 at 2:06 pm
3-0 to start 2 first teams are ery beatable have to agree with that.. come back for our Home Opener.. The O will be rockin also remember all these teams also had no offseason so they wont exsactly be cliking on all cylinders IMO Raiders 1 of few teams bringing back most their players ok 1 new starter on D Eagles will have 9 new starters on D and new Def Coach who never coached def before.. Was a Off coach Coached on Raiders.

Kellygreenninja,
“common sense” says Jackson is an upgrade? Common means something that is typical of the majority. So, do the majority of people who pay attention to sports believe that Jackson is an upgrade over Cable? Until you can demonstrate such, you can’t demonstrate that Jackson being an upgrade is “common sense”.
____________________________________________________
Just curious, since you dont view Jackson as a viable upgrade to Cable, in terms of coaching ability, who would have been a better HC option for the Raiders to hire this year, after not resigning Cable?

Do you even know how to turn “Caps Lock” off on your system? Here’s a handy guide:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caps_lock
August 8th, 2011 at 2:13 pm
Question. Would Nnamdi have developed into the CB he is now, had he been drafted and developed by any other team but the Raiders? If yes, say why you believe so. If no, say why you believe so. What factors or circumstances did he have that helped him develop in Oakland, if any? And how would any other franchise go about developing him, had he been drafted elsewhere?
August 8th, 2011 at 2:13 pm
Nnamdi didn’t “leave”.
His contract voided when he didn’t meet certain incentives – big difference.
Also, the Davis/Jackson press conference alluded to using Nnamdi’s money to bring in 3 or 4 players.
Drafted 2 corners last year & 2 corners this year.
Paid Routt “Top 3″ CB money.
Doesn’t sound like the Raiders put forth much effort to keep #21 in Oakland

It wouldn’t have mattered. If Al had hired anyone else, RMR would be slamming the Raiders for not keeping Hue. That’s how RMR (aka “Raider”) is.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
If Hue is the coach everyone claims he is,the ‘here we go’ attitude should never happen even if by some miracle we do lose in donkeyville.

627. Good link.
“As a highly respected architect with a keen knowledge of the passing game, Saunders has orchestrated some of the most explosive offenses in league history”
“During the Raiders’ final five games, Campbell completed 64.7 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and only two interceptions for an impressive 94.6 passer rating.”
“Saunders and Jackson are not only highly respected for their overall offensive acumen, but they are lauded for their ability to groom receivers”
++++++++++++++++++++
Seems like Al the Don rebuilt the team by starting with a good OLine coach then following him with great QB/WR coaches.
good formula.

Raiders go 12-0 before the rest all the starters for the cold GB game since they already clinched the division and have the tie-breakers for home field. End up 15-1 and beat the dream team in the Super Bowl. Big Al flips off the camera when they hand him the trophy.
… then I wake up.
August 8th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
I believe Nnamdi is the best cover corner in the game today.But,if you look at the last couple of years ask yourselves-did we play better or worse when Nnamdi missed games due to injuries?I believe you’ll see we played about the same whether he played or not.Wish he and Miller well.At least neither signed with a team in our division or our conference for that matter.I hope Miller lights it up,especially when they play the whiners.

Thinking back to the day TC was hired as interim HC.
The old man clearly stated that one of the primary reasons Cable was being promoted (instead of being dismissed with Lame) was to ‘take control of the locker room’.
Apparently, he did a good enough job for Davis to give Cable a chance in 2009.
During the 2009 season it became clear that it would be impossible for ANY coach to win with JaMoron at QB. The Raids showed glimpses of life once JaMoron was benched. I think Davis was reluctant to can Cable at this point mainly for the sake of continuity, but also bcz he knew the deck had been stacked against TC.
So Davis allowed TC to return again in 2010. However, Davis surely had reservations about Cable, and brought in HJAX to help right the ship on offense. Insurance if Cable didn’t work out and Hue would be given a chance to prove his worth.
HJAX, indeed proved his worth. From the beginning of training camp, it was HJAX’s voice that dominated.
When the season commenced the Raider offense was still extremely lethargic. Tenn and and the first half of St Lou were atrocious efforts.
But the worm started to turn with the demotion of JaJason and the emergence of DMAC.
Suddenly, there was a breath of life. The wins weren’t piling up, but there was a spark.
HJAX, despite being handicapped by Gradkowski flaming out due to injury and overall lackluster play from the all important QB position was able to fan that spark into a flame. By years end the Raids would be the 6th highest scoring team in the NFL.
Smoke and mirrors ? Perhaps. A function of a weak schedule and poor opposing defenses ? Perhaps.
But facts are facts. And the fact is the Raids went from one of the lowest scoring teams in the NFL to one of the higher.
Once Cable’s relationship with Davis irreparably soured, HJAX became the obvious choice to be handed the reins.
Will Hue prove to be an outstanding HC ?
Only time will tell.
But this long time Raider fan couldn’t be more enthusiastic.
How can you not love HJAX’s energy ? The man is dynamic.
Most importantly, he appears to get along and works well with AD.
Hue is in charge. He’s got a support staff in Saunders that frees him up to put his hands on all aspects of this team.
Doesn’t mean the Raids are winning the SB or even winning 8 games. There are still personnel issues (especially at the QB position) that need resolution.
But make no mistake, this is a team that is headed in the right direction and with a few breaks could surprise all the naysayers.
