Blog login troubles
By Jon Becker
Tuesday, August 9th, 2011 at 11:26 pm in Oakland Raiders.
We apologize for our commenting system on the Raiders blog (and others) malfunctioning late this afternoon. I know I speak for Steve Corkran and Jerry McDonald when I say it’s extremely frustrating for us and we really do appreciate your patience throughout this.
Although it’s probably a good thing we can’t see what you guys are saying right now, we enjoy reading your views (most of them, anyway) and look forward to seeing what you think about the Raiders’ depth chart and their upcoming game against Arizona on Thursday.
In the meantime, the folks at MediaNews Group Interactive who maintain our blog’s platform are aware of the problems and are still working to get this resolved.

August 10th, 2011 at 8:58 am
Finally… Hopefully they have this log in issue resolved!
The lineup i’m sure will change by opening game, due to injuries and getting guys rested and healthy.
I’m concerned with LB depth. Man, i hope those backers stay healthy and also hope Chris Francis can make the team for much needed depth.

I thought the Raider game was live tmw on KTLA.
It’s not on until midnight.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:01 am
So DHBeast is still the starter at WR, eh?
Lou Murphy is his backup and being challenged by his backup Moore?
Interesting.

When Elway “won” his first Super Bowl, he completed just 11 of 22, threw no touchdowns, but one interception. That buck-toothed used car salesman is now executive vice president of football operations for the Donkeys. I bet they don’t win more than four games this year.

Did anyone else hear Hue’s comments about DHB in his presser yesterday? In regard to his play last year, Coach said (paraphrased): “He was very involved, while other guys were making plays. He is a great athlete.”
This doesn’t bode well for DHB’s future and I think he and JaWalrus will be the poster boys for our period of futility over the past few years.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:10 am

“He was very involved, while other guys were making plays. He is a great athlete.”
——————————————————
How does this translate into anything Jamarcus Russell related?
It sounds to me like DHB was making a block that sprung someone.
Or maybe he drew coverage away from an area that allowed Ford to get open.
I don’t see the Russell relationship at all.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:15 am
I have mixed feelings about this year, even though I am excited as hell. But to loose two standout pro bowlers is rough. But looking at O line and WR, we seem to have more depth than we have had in a while…No real standouts….just pretty good guys and really good backups. Guys that can plug in and play. That goes a long way in a football season that is full of injuries. Thats what I like this year. And Hue is awesome… He gets me so motivated. I wish he were my boss. How can you not be fired up with that guy being your coach. I expect some of these young talents to blow it up.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:16 am
Hue said they are gonna “get him the ball”, so he can make plays. They know good and well he cant catch. Looks like we might finally see DHB get those bubble screens that he could burn with. That worked for him at MD.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:16 am
Not sure I’ve seen HueJax as pissed as he was today on fumbled center exchange between Stefen Wiz and Kyle Boller.
-Jerry Mac (twitter) yesterday’s am tweet
Rookie center Stefen Wisniewski spent considerable time after practice working on the quarterback-center exchange with backup quarterback Kyle Boller
-Steve Corkran (yesterday’s pm post)

these guys (Steve & Jerry) work well together.
Glad to see young Wiz doing all the right things, not just “saying” all the right things!

Bottom line, in terms of high expectations, high amount of money spent, and little to no delivery on the field.
In DHB’s defense, however, he is (at least) playing. I heard on NFL Network today that Michael Crabtree is going to miss the entire preseason AGAIN this year. Unbelievable!!! For a guy who was demanding top wide receiver money, he has not played in a SINGLE PRESEASON GAME IN HIS ENTIRE THREE YEARS IN THE LEAGUE (and he STILL has a job!) Un-freakin’-believable!!!
August 10th, 2011 at 9:21 am
will DHB make some SportsCenter plays this year? There’s no question in my mind he will. It’s time.

“…And I take responsibility in some games where he didn’t (get many catches). Sometimes, you have to do things to get guys the ball.”
——————————————————
Glad to see Hue say what a few of us have been trying to tell you semi’s.
DHB was just not targeted much last year. When the ball was actually thrown his way, he was decent.
Several games last year where he didn’t get more than 2 passes thrown his way.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:21 am
Good to see all of your voices again! Just sorry we all had to go through this. Now, back to Raiders talk!
August 10th, 2011 at 9:23 am
Playing right guard comes naturally to Wisniewski. Moving to the left side presents a bit of a challenge
***
so if Satele snags the Center job from Wiz II, he’ll start over “Savage” Carlisle at RG?
JFB will not be pleased!
Sounds like Dan Loper is a lock to start at LG – sorry ROG. yourself and alleged source Brad Roll = wrong again
August 10th, 2011 at 9:24 am
yep….Crabs broke the same bone as B4…..When WR’s aquire a stress fracture in the foot,they never nthe same,it seems.The foot has like 113 or 120 bones or some crazy #’s.I believe someone made a bet wid someone else in here….ha ha!

All of this being said, I am hoping (upon hope) that I am wrong. But I followed him at the University of Maryland — I just see speed, and an occasional catch — James Jett 2.0
August 10th, 2011 at 9:26 am
See, this is what I was talking about RRS.
If Wiz can’t beat out Satele at C, he needs to be the 2nd string C.
Why would we put him at another unfamiliar position like LG?
If he is a natural RG, then put him there NOW and let him try and beat out Carlisle.
This is BUUUUHHHHLLLSHHHHHHH
August 10th, 2011 at 9:27 am
Are Bruce Davis & Jerome Boyd really the backups for Groves at WLB?
If so, I’m going to puke …

oh yeah lol!
someone made a bet in here that Crabs would blow away DHB stats wise

Jhill,
Hue Jackson bought that Tom Cable theology “the best 5 guys will play” regardless of position
Steve & Jerry both seem to think that Stef & Sammy are both “Top 5″ OL for us this year
Loper or Carlisle will get left out in the cold. My guess is Coop if RG comes natural to Wiz II, but LG doesn’t – I would hate to see Young Wiz play LG and look worse than Gallery, Loper or Schuening!

How come the collective bargaining agreement didn’t address the stupid BLACKOUT rule!!! Can’t believe they still blackout live preseason games. At least there is a tape delay on TV36 at 9:00pm.

Regarding the depth chart I tried to comment on for a while – don’t expect to see Trent Edwards behind Charlie Frye on the depth chart after a couple pre-season games. Charlie Frye should be painting the end zone at some community college field.

This comment section b.s. has been a problem for the last two years… comments failing to post or posting out of order and now this? Get it together.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:35 am
A lot of injuries in camps, so far … and with a very short window for guys to make an impression and make rosters, I think you’re going to see a lot of heavy hitting and guys gettin’ blown up in preseason games. I think the Cardinals better bring lots of stretchers this week.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:35 am
The OL situation will sort itself out after the pre-season too. We get a chance to see who can play and who can sit on Thurs – I can’t wait.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:35 am
52. Word. Barnes has bever played RT and was not happy when they offered it to him a year ago. We had to go get Walker off the discard pile.
I’d bet on Barksdale and keep Barnes as a tackle eligible on Jumbo packs

swapping tackles in & out was just as bad as swapping QB’s in & out like McCown/Culpepper and Brooks/Walter!
August 10th, 2011 at 9:48 am
The Patriots are pretty good at taking former Raiders and squeezing some good productivity out of them, maybe they are beating down the door to trade one of their draft picks for DHB? No?
I have to disagree about the DHB/Russell connection. Russell was always an unmotivated sack of shiz. From everything I’ve ever heard anyone say about him, DHB works his azz off but just isn’t producing. I think my disdain for DHB is well documented, but it would be nice to see him prove me wrong.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:48 am
Did anyone DL the Madden 12 demo and see Prodigy play against Reggie Bush? He used the Raiders and beat him 30-0. McFadden was getting loose. You could see the anger in Reggies eyes every time DMac broke through the hole. It was beautiful.

I would love for him to prove us and the media wrong and especially love when AL proves the citics wrong. Everyone crapped on that pick. The disrespect the media gave DHB was overwhelming. ESPN monkeys Laughing at him during an interview. But so far everyone is right. Maclin and Percy have done some great things. Crabtree is not the guy I wanted.

I could see if DHB was getting passes thrown his way and was just flat out dropping them.
That just didn’t happen.
DHB was not targeted. It’s that simple.
Hue Jackson has already taken responsibility for that as the play caller. Next person to talk to is Glo.
The last 2 games of the year (just to take a small sample), DHB caught all 4 passes thrown to him against Indy, and only had one pass thrown his way against KC. Yeah he dropped that ONE pass against KC, but my goodness, one pass attempt the whole game?
4 catches outta 5 balls thrown to him the last 2 games folks.

Mark my words … DHB will start at one of the receiver positions in Week 1; and if Chaz isn’t injured, he’ll be the other receiver. But by season’s end, neither one will be starting. Predicting it now …

J Hill you must play on all pro. You’d get torched on the madden level in cover 1. Especially against a 4 receiver set. Just torched. Too much man. You’ll have a couple of lame Davis scholarships covering 3rd and 4th receivers. Cover 3 press is best Raider defense i’ve found. Cover 2 if you’re skilled rushing the passer, know which buttons to do those pass rush moves, etc. But you have to get to the QB quick in cover 2 cause the deep middle’s wide open. use the blitz sparingly on madden because the designers seem to be big on showcasing QBs skills to read blitzes. You get torched almost every blitz. They even make Campbell good against the blitz. So, clearly they had no intentions of making this aspect of the game realistic, because Campbell in real life might be the worst QB against the blitz that I’ve ever seen. I’m not exaggerating.

“It starts with an attitude,” Bresnahan said. “It starts right at the beginning of the year. Most teams have goals or objectives. We do it a little bit differently here, but along the line, within those series of objectives and goals, stopping the run is very high. Again, it’s an attitude that we build from the beginning. I’m excited to see us defend the run.”

Did anyone else catch the DVD interview on Comcast Sports Bay Area last night? He reminded me of my old friend Lester Hayes back in the day. Not by his play but by the way he talks!

I hope his accelerated speech patterns are a sign of intelligence, he seemed like a smart kid.

DHB being listed as the number 1 WR is disgusting. He should earn his role not just being put there because Al says so and he needs to be right and justify the 18.6 mil he earned last year. Hue can only be successful if he is allowed to play who he feels are the players who earned those positions. This depth chart does not portend well for this season.

True, but him holding out doesn’t help us in any way shape or form.
There is no way SD trades VJax to a division rival, least of all for a backup RB.

August 10th, 2011 at 11:37 am
only lock at starting position appears to be Mr. Vehldeer at LT.
Mr. Satele & Mr. Wisniewski are locks to make the 53-man roster with one starting at center (although Stepen seems to have a shot at a starting guard position if Samson keeps his starting job).
Should all things be equal in terms of traing camp performance; I like the idea of Mr. Barksdale starting at RT, Raiders would have solid OTs at both ends for a decade. Mr. Barnes gives instant experience, but I have no problem having him come off bench.
Mr. Schuening will make the roster as I think Mr. Lamaak does as well.
One gets cut between Mr. Loper, Mr. Carlisle, and Mr. Heyer.

Guys, I see you talking a lot about DHB not being targeted a lot last year. He was targeted a fair amount, but dropped over 50% of the balls thrown his way. One of the lowest competion percentages in the league to go his way.
Now, hopefully, getting him the ball means shorter routes etc. as many of what he dropped were longer routes. Hopefully just shorter passes and try to use his speed to turn a short pass to long gain.
The only problem with that is that I don’t think he seems that natural running with the ball either. I haven’t seen any plays where he made people miss once he had the ball etc.
Hopefully Hue finds works out a way to work to his “strengths” and then build up confidence. DHB to his credit does work hard to get better, and I think he’s already better than he was last year. It’s just that in the present time, I think 4 other WRs are “better” than him in his current state. Chaz is for sure, so is Ford and Murphy. And from the look of things Moore also I’d say is “ahead” in his game than DHB is.
With the game on the line, I’d rather have Campbell throwing to Murphy, Schillins, Ford or Murphy. Any argument to that?

hue-jack is gonna have soup throw the ball at least 10-15 times to dhb throughout every game this pre-season and possibly into the beginning of the season until al finally pulls the plug on dhb and realizes he was wrong for picking up this waste of roster space.. i bet dhb gets at least 50 looks and only catches 18..

Coming from Tom Coughlin, it looks as though the earliest we’ll see Giants WR Steve Smith is midseason. He had microfracture surgery.

DHB – the good grades for being a “decoy” stops now. Time to show us what you got.

So, Al has DHB in the starting lineup. Sounds like same ole, same ole.

he averages 1.35 catches for every game he plays in..
18 out of 50 is realistic for dhb..

Let’s agree to disagree — the starting WR position is DHB’s to lose. Raiders have invested the time and the money. He had a chance to work under Hue Jack last year. Hue didn’t have any faith in him, so he didn’t get many balls all year. Hue has vowed to get him in the game. This is Year Three, so this is make-or-break. I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, going into Denver. But dude better start manning up, or else I’m going to have to break out my DHB reference again (DHB = Doesn’t Have the Balls to be a #1)

Ted – Woodson sure didn’t sound like a man convinced that he had a top 3 corner on his hands. Work in progress is what he said, right?

dhb was targeted 65 times last year and caught 26!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 10th, 2011 at 11:59 am
I don’t think Al Davis cares more about DHB than winning the games.
If DHB is still #1 on the depth chart, at some point you are going to have to just accept that he is doing what the coaches are asking him to do.
It’s that simple.

mcfadden targeted 61 times with 47 catches hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Woodson is pretty low key and pragmatic. Plus, he’s a rookie coach and has only seen these guys for a little less than two weeks. I don’t think he wants to set himself up for crucifixion just yet. Besides, he’s a Hall-of-Famer, so the bar is probably set pretty damn high!

having a hand-less wr as your #1 is throwing games down the trash…

I still have to laugh when I recall DHB outrunning that defender on the interception return as if to say “nah nah I’m faster than you!” He wasn’t interested in tackling the guy. Just outrunning him. Lol. Just a track guy folks.
August 10th, 2011 at 12:03 pm
Alright Nation, I’m out … looking forward to seeing the boys lace ‘em up!! PEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAACCCEEEE!!

i recall that being a fumble return.. dhb blew by the guy at the 20 yard line without even attempting to tack him. he was like 40 yards behind him and still beat him to the endzone..

Hopefully It won’t be like last time I went to Buffalo in 08′ When we had a decent lead in the 4th only to have Rob Ryan go into prevent mode. I remember being so pyched when JLH caught a quick slant and went the distance. I haven’t watched the raiders win a game live since the 90’s! Ouch! This time better be different. Last time I saw DMAC in Buffalo he was worthless, This time I hope he puts on a clinic! GO Raiders!
