Jackson mum on rotation
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, August 10th, 2011 at 4:27 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders went through a 90-minute walkthrough Wednesday in preparation to host the Arizona Cardinals Thursday night at O.co Coliseum.
Coach Hue Jackson said he would be considering player rotations Wednesday night, which means we’ll have to wait and see how it plays out since there is no more media access.
It’s clear the following players will be out with injuries, most undisclsoed: running back Darren McFadden (broken orbital bone), wide receiver Jacoby Ford (broken left hand), running back Taiwan Jones, safety Mike Mitchell, cornerback Chemdi Chekwa and wide receiver Louis Murphy. Others who won’t play include linebacker Bruce Davis, offensive lineman Aaron Pelc, offensive lineman Bruce Campbell and defensive end Trevor Scott.
Scott said he hoped to be returning soon.
– Jackson even had a few Raiders go on to the field for a simulation of pregame introductions and practice standing for the National Anthem.
– Center Stefen Wisniewski and tackle Stephon Heyer both got some snaps in with the first team.
–Wisniewski, tackle Joe Barksdale and free agents Ben Lamaak and Mason Brodine were spotted with hideous haricuts courtesy of veterans. Wisniewski was given a Friar Tuck similar to the one the Broncos gave Tim Tebow last year. Barksdale, who planned on shaving his head after lunch, had something resembling a Mohawk.
Brodine said his barber was Lamarr Houston. Khalif Barnes did the honors for Barksdale.
x–Louis Rankin is fine with getting the rented-mule treatment as the Raiders are without McFadden, had Michael Bush arrive late, dealt with injuries to Michael Bennett and tried to keep 10-year veteran Rock Cartwright fresh.
Rankin has had the most substantial workload of any player in camp and spent part of Wednesday’s session being worked on by trainers. He said he felt better Thursday.
“This is actually the most reps I’ve ever had, including college,” Rankin said. “This is a lot of reps. A lot of guys got banged up early. But it’s a good thing. I feel the more reps, the better. I’m starting to get my legs back under me again. Yesterday was kind of tough on me, but like I said, the camp’s been going pretty good.”
Rankin is thankful for a CBA that prevented things from being even more grueling.
“If we were having two-a-days, I don’t know where I’d be,” Rankin said.
– Wide receiver Nick Miller was back at practice so he should be available to return punts and kickoffs against Arizona.
– Wide receivers Chad Jackson and Derek Hagan continue to make the wide receiver competition interesting with their play of late, although the favorite six are Darrius Heyward-Bey, Jacoby Ford, Louis Murphy, Chaz Schilens, Denarius Moore and Miller.
– Jackson continues to distance himself from the “We’re not losers any more” ending of coach Tom Cable.
“Eight and eight doesn’t cut it for me. I’m not interested in being 8-8,” Jackson said. “I’m interested in being great. I’m interested in our players being great. I’m interested in our great players playing great and I’m interested in our fans being great.
“If that’s the case I’m encouraging all of our fans to get behind this team and watch us because I truly believe that the time is now. I’ve said it and I’m going to keep saying it. Nobody is going to make me stop saying it because that’s what I believe.”
– Regarding the attendance, the paid crowd announced following the game should be a rough approximation of this year’s number of season tickets that were sold. A crowd in the low 20,000s will make it difficult for the Raiders to prevent blackouts even if the team approaches Jackson’s standard.

I think DHB was never supposed to be the #1 WR last year, but Chaz couldn’t stay healthy, so DHB was forced into the role. Now the onus is on Chaz to earn his spot back.
Murph and Ford are locks – DHB will be the one fighting for a roster spot if Chaz stays healthy.
This “unofficial” depth chart is BS imo.
August 10th, 2011 at 4:33 pm
If AL cared so much about the team’s success and not being right would the team still be a joke?
——————————————————-
I don’t think the team is a joke.
8-8 last year and sweeping the division does not equal a joke, imo.
Heck, even a national reporter from Yahoo who usually bashes us has picked the Raiders to go to the AFC Championship game.
August 10th, 2011 at 4:33 pm
my ticket rep tells me we are ot of the 20k season tickt holder range….. LOL! not fully paid myabe that includes the people with deposits on their account.

Roster spot????
Or starting spot?
August 10th, 2011 at 4:37 pm
Sorry Jhill – “starting spot”
August 10th, 2011 at 4:38 pm
Well well well. The 1st draft of the depth chart and wha’d ya know? …DHB tops the charts
I expect some changes on offense for sure with the starting lineup. For 1 I expect the OL to maybe switch 2 starter positions out of Loper, Carlisle & Barnes/Satele.
But back to the WRs. This is the most interesting. Ford over Murphy. What did I tell you? Last year Ford was taking snaps from Murphy NOT DHB!
It goes without saying that DHB must produce, but with Moore coming on strong Murphy may get his snaps cut even further (ignoring any injuiries to Schilens and/or Bey).
You boys give Murphy a lot of credit and he IS a good player; but trust me, he benefits tremendously from DHBs presense on the other side (queue Hue’s quotes will ya’).

i wont miss a game so all the chumps who dont go and cry why the raiders dont get him or get him why would you care? unless you are a raiders fan that lives hella far away then you have no exscuse. its not the cool thing to do when we are winning its choosing a team and sticking with them win lose or draw.

Did you ever get around to answering why Al is so concerned about being right on DHB, but could care less about being right about Mike Mitchell?

Because he REACHED like hell around all the other more qualified WR’s in the draft to defy everyone, to get DHB!
You’re such a lightweight!

yes my friend that is legit i was speaking of the fairweather fans that go with the flow not the nation ten years ago i never saw a jersey here except niners and raiders and the occasional cowboy or dolphin on some ol school. but now you see all kinds of jerseys. why? cuz the raiders and niners aint been good. go to green bay wearing a vikings jersey ….. your family would disown you but i think fans should be more supportive of there team if they want to argue and act as if “they” some how are a raider. if you dont play then you better pay cuz we support the raiders and the nfl for that matter and since we aint millionaire football players then we have to go to support if we are TRUE RAIDERS!
August 10th, 2011 at 4:52 pm
And on the unofficial roster I expect Meyers will get cut. Ausberry #2, Gordon #3

August 10th, 2011 at 4:56 pm
BCampbell is the wild card. His injury is seriously hurting him. He could make a run at RG or RT; but you can’t do that on the sidelines.
I do not think they are happy with Loper or Carlisle in that order. Barnes vs Barkdale battle will continue …but what if they throw Campbell into that mix. From what I’m reading Barnes is better vs the pass rush but Barksdale is bettr run blocking. What can BC do? Or is it too late to even look, just stick him at RG?
August 10th, 2011 at 4:56 pm
@ Meeze: I had season tix when I lived in the BA back in ‘95 or that first year they came back. I didn’t even have a job but I paid PSLs.
I’ll make it to one or two games. Based on cash flow and familial commitments (to excellence).

So that would include a literal understanding of the Bible.
Many people identify with a religion (like Darwin), but Christians identify with Jesus Christ.

Just finally checking in with you folks after last night and the blog breakdown.
They broke the blog because when the depth chart was announced, DHB was #1 and the anticipated reaction was pre-empted with a lock out.
The powers that be would not have been able to handle the reaction of the bloggers in here, both pro and con, so they simply shut it down rather that put up with the reaction of DHB and the depth chart.
Just simply amazing.

And damn if he actually wins some games because he go Glo to look like a legit QB, or Bush and McFadden put in some work.

That’s what I’m talking about. Hip hop is talent-less schlock. At least it allows douche bags to act cool and get big stereo systems for their cars. What a joke!

August 10th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
They are scared as hell he might be where he deserves to be. If he makes it as a starter he will have EARNED it……………………period
Why hate on a guy when we may have a player IF he up to the level they expect. Why is that a bad thing?
If he doesn’t then he wont be here…….period
If he plays well we win …………but some people don’t see it as a win. If DHB plays well they see it as a negative.

I’m trippin on B. Campbell. At his combine he was 6-6″ and 314#. It was said that he was the fastest O-lineman at the combine. What’s up with this dude? In his pre combine interviews he seems intellegent enough. Maybe he just has a major learning curve to overcome. I just don’t get it, somethings up.

Just like Al claims he told Kiffin, “Jamarcus is going to be great. Deal with it.” I am sure that Al requires his coaches to maximize opportunities for his first round reaches and their job security depends on it. 8-8 with that schedule and going 6-0 in the division is quite hallow. It is pathetic to get blown out at home by Miami and the Jets on consecutive weeks. I do believe the team could turn the corner if Al did not meddle in the depth chart.

DHB has earned the right to be a starter right now? Is that what you are saying? I am sure Terrapin and Righty are the only ones who will drink that Koolaide with you!
August 10th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
I want DHB to be a superstar. But what I dont want is for Al to hand down a directive to HueJack the Man telling him he must insert DHB. NOT GOOD. It will shred apart the locker room and cause irrepairable damages to the team. Com’on Al, figure it out man.
Anybody who dont like hip hop aint got rythym. Like certain trouble makers in here.

Why can Al #4 overall pick sit on the bench behind Fargas fur DHB can’t sit behind Murphy?

Why would Al Davis hand down a directive to play DHB?? when he has other talented players?? Sometimes you guys have way to much imagination.
Hue Jackson and the rest of these coaches didn’t come here to help DHB get a starting spot. They didn’t come here to play him so they can lose. Now what mystifies me is you saw everyone else get benched when they didn’t perform including the QB he said was the next Plunkett yet you think he’ll hand down a directive for DHB???? Yeah makes a lot of sense….

Jhill,
Where were you at the end of last year? DHB was benched. He even started the game at Denver and was immediately benched for the remainder of the game. I am sure his benching made it even easier for Al to dispatch TC. He was invisible at the end of the season. I am sure Al envisions HJ turning DHB into Chad Johnson and making AD look like the genius he was back in 1983.

August 10th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Priest. What have you seen in DHB that shows that we should put him ahead of the other WRs on our roster as a #1?
Purely a question. I think each year he’s getting better. But I think at this stage in his game, I’d rather have Murphy, Ford or Schillens in there. And maybe even more. From what I’ve heard (and I haven’t seen him) but even the rookie Moore seems a more polished receiver.
With the game on the line, I’d be much more comfortable with that long pass thrown to 4 other receivers instead of him…which indicates me he should be lower on the depth chart.
Granted he is working hard, and again, he seems better each year a little bit. But, until he shows consistency and ability more than the other WRs, he should be behind them on game day. Maybe keep his reps high in practice so he keeps developing, but no need to have him targeted more than every other receiver (even though the other WRs are making more plays and catching a higher % of the balls).
Any argument with that logic?
August 10th, 2011 at 5:50 pm

Tj, I only said that about the DHB because he was at the top of the depth chart. Why else would he be there if only after two practices and not so jaw dropping stellar.
For the greater good of Raider Nation, I want to see DHB do good, but only after earning it. Just concerned a bit about Uncle Al inserting his #1’s. Seen him do it before. We know he can do as he pleases because it is his team, but the big man has got to get real.

For some reason, a few folks don’t think it applies to ONE position outta 22.

August 10th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Priest, we’re fans….we have opinions…
You were communicating one side of things thus I asked the questions which you didn’t answer.
I’m not saying DHB shouldn’t play, or should not be on our team right now, or that he’s lazy or anything.
I just haven’t seen anything to trust him when the game is on the line (and any play can make or break the game). Thus, I’d prefer the better receivers playing more and receiving more throws their way until he has progressed to a point that he consistently catches the balls thrown his way.
Maybe he’s at that point. I just haven’t seen it yet, and the coaches couldn’t have seen it yet as he was hurt except for 2 practices, and per the notes he seems better than last year, but not up to the level of the other WRs yet.

I thought DHB looked good last year in the preseason, but he still lacked the consistancy all season.
It will be nice if we can get him in the end zone this preseason, to boost his confidence.
August 10th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
I want to know WHY DHB was atop the list? Did he earn it? Cool if he did, not cool if he didn’t. Did hererra hand down the directive and force Hue to roll with that? We are in deep do-do if that be the case.

Sorry Raidermaverick I didn’t see your ?
I’m not down on DHB or up on him, I’m optimistic because he plays for us we spent a lot of money on the kid. I think he can be very effective in a certain role. I know he can catch that is not a worry. My concern of DHB is will he compete on Sunday. What I mean is will he demand the ball will he use his ability to beat his man and be confident in his ability to do so. If it’s a yes on those accts. we have a heck of a player. Him catching is NOT and issue it’s his confidence in what his abilities are. That is the isuue….

I think the only hope for him is to burn his man deep. Anything over the middle or in traffic wont work.
The man is scared of getting hit and that is tough to overcome as you well know. He needs to use his deep break-away speed and JC has to deliver.

I think JC will be big this year. But he will need the ground game and when he strikes his recievers, they need to come up with the ball.
Hue must, I trust, put the best WRs’ out there and if DHB aint one of them, Al has to stay out of it.
I want to see an upgraded depth chart since yesterday.
August 10th, 2011 at 6:32 pm
DHB better shine while/when he has the opportunity. His biggest problem as I see it is getting adequate reps to make an impact. It certainly appears as though we may have some valid WR’s who are ready to cut it loose. I speak of Ford, Schilins & Moore. If these guys are hitting on all cylinders, HuJack will be hard pressed to pull them in favor of DHB, especially if he hasn’t heated things up earlier. Preseason may well be his only opportunity to show us what he’s got.
I truly wish him well and hope now is his time to blossom and be all that he can be. It would be nice to have more good WR’s than we need.
August 10th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
B,
You see Brad Roll and Hue around town often enough. I’m sure you’ve had ample opportunity to question them about why DHB is a starter.
I don’t buy for a second that you would have conversations about the Oline with these guys and not bring up your #1 Bz.
It could very well be he’s starting because he is our best blocking WR. We are a run first team, so on 1st and 2nd down, it pays to have a WR on the field.

I think the discussion of DHB is really more about overall personnel decisions. Last year, Hue did had some games where he did a great job of putting the right players in the right position. If Hue knows how to get DHB in the right situations than it will truly be on him.

It’s hyperbole as far as I’m concerned Mr Davis if he mandated anyone in the lineup it was Jacoby Ford. Because YOu guys don’t like DHB and have preconceieved notions of Mr D you assume it must be DHB………he would’ve mandated DMC a couple of years ago….get over it.

Maybe DHB is starting because of the work he put in w/ Soup during the off-season. Who knows maybe they have some sort of chemistry now.
Maybe Hue knows.

*murphy
*ford
*chaz
*moore
*hey-bey
*miller
*hagan
*boss
*meyers
im going with moore this season.. i think injuries and lack of production will give this kid an open door to shine this year. i say he gets 750yds 6tds..
August 10th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
Im going with MMatt Shaughnessy…at RDE IF HE GETS DOUBLE DIGIT SACKS…we in the game baby! But I can feel ya on Lamarr he is an animal

Im going with Murphy old short arming ass….i believe he at least is a gamer and Boss should make life easier for him
August 10th, 2011 at 7:14 pm
I don’t know what he deserves I’m just waiting to see what they all look like. I have no preconcieved notions I just want to see for myself.
August 10th, 2011 at 7:16 pm
Chaz – yardage
Boss – TDs
McClain – defensive MVP
You read it here.

good recieving combo there.. and h3ll yeah on romac! we actually have alot of young studs on that defense.. its gonna be crazy tomorrow!!!! we gonna knock out kolb before he ever throws a td pass hahahaha!

August 10th, 2011 at 6:11 pm
Sorry Raidermaverick I didn’t see your ?
I’m not down on DHB or up on him, I’m optimistic because he plays for us we spent a lot of money on the kid. I think he can be very effective in a certain role. I know he can catch that is not a worry. My concern of DHB is will he compete on Sunday. What I mean is will he demand the ball will he use his ability to beat his man and be confident in his ability to do so. If it’s a yes on those accts. we have a heck of a player. Him catching is NOT and issue it’s his confidence in what his abilities are. That is the isuue….
==============================
Hmmm…I agree he should be able to keep getting better. I think the major disagreement here seems to be that he is eating into Murphy’s (and others) playing time who appears to many to be a better WR. He got more attempts thrown his way per game he was playing than any other WR. He just didn’t catch as many of them.
I think he will be quite a bit better than last year (Last year he had the lowest catch rate out of every receiver in the NFL with at least 50 attempts thrown his way).
I guess it would be good in the pre-season to throw his way a lot. Maybe you’re right in that it’s more mental and hopefully he can become more consistant and catch over 50% of the balls that come his way.
August 10th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
I’ll take Seymour and Chaz for my picks.
August 10th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
BHP u goin to the game?
August 10th, 2011 at 7:23 pm
Ford most yards, Boss most Touchdowns.
August 10th, 2011 at 7:24 pm
I think Wimblay will be Defensive MVP cause I think he should light it up with even more Sacks this year.
If you look overall the best player on “D” it’ll probably be Shonasty as I think he’ll be close in Sacks, but will play the run better.
August 10th, 2011 at 7:25 pm
Yeah, I thought of Ford for yardage…Kid could become another Steve Smith (Panthers).
August 10th, 2011 at 7:25 pm
At the end of the day its going to come down to on the field production for Bey. He has to have been either doing what they ask him better than others on the roster OR they are still developing his talents as a WR. Or else he would not be starting.
If its the latter, then so be it. Becuase if that talent fully develops it will be hell to stop. Thats what you boys are missing.
If you were to honestly ask me who has the most upside in that group. I would comment in order: (Bey/Moore), Ford, Schilens, Murphy.

August 10th, 2011 at 7:32 pm
DHB is either going to prove his doubters wrong, in which case he starts, or he’ll just rotate in as 3rd to 5th WR…No in between.

August 10th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
I agree with Veldeer not playing center. I think the more he can concentrate strictly at being a Tackle, then the better the O line will be collectively. If he has to think about playing center too then it can only hinder his development. We need him to be a Stud at LT and Wiz can be our Stud C. Then everyone else will fall into their positions.

Lamarr gets first sack of the season. He has the easier matchup, and will most likely get some snaps at DT on passing downs.
One thing that pissed me of last year was ShoNasty coming off the field on 3rd downs. I hope Breshnahan is a better chess player than Marshall.

——————————————————
Maybe next year, or if Chaz and Murphy end up hurt at the same time again. Other than that, Moore is stuck behind Chaz, Ford, and Murphy. And arguably DHB, lol.
One thing that could get Moore on the field a lot quicker is if he can run block. As much running as we are going to do, that will get him 1st and 2nd down snaps. Which means he’ll get some of those play action deep balls.
I’m really hoping Moore can do something in the return game.

I wouldn’t call Jackson the best coach since Flores yet. Gruden at least had a track record first. Give him some time to produce the results…then we can call him the best coach…
Same goes with Campbell.
Both COULD be. It’s just a bit early to proclaim them as such. Let them take us to the Playoffs the next couple of years and then we can discus that.

This game is huge as it will set the tone and define the upcoming season.
This should be what we expect to see from Hue this season. I hope it is smash mouth Raider ball. Glad to see Al Davis hired Hue, best move he has made since Gruden, even better.

They will implode contract-wise next year. If we meet them in the playoffs, it will be great to simply dominate them & kick their a$$.

Truth be known, you’d get a lot more satisfaction if we just kicked his a$$ big time every time we meet. Wishing injury on a player is NOT the way to go. Just visiting total abuse on them every time we play will feel a lot better. Believe in the S&B – Payback is a SOB.

Boss is a more than adequate replacement for Miller. We just need a second CB to step up.
August 10th, 2011 at 9:58 pm
I’m excited by tomorrow’s opening game. We’ve really upgraded our coaching staff and in particular our OC, Al Saunders. I’m anxious to see what he can do with all the young talent he has available to him. If we can solidify the O-Line, we are going to be one dangerous SOB. We literally will be able to score from anywhere on the field on a regular basis. Scary for our opponents.
August 10th, 2011 at 10:03 pm
What is the Nation looking foward most out of tomorrow’s game?
August 10th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
Saunders knows his stuff. We’ll be running some of “The Greatest Show On Turf” and “Air Coryell” schemes this year. With our wideouts and McFadden in Faulk’s role, we’ll be lighting it up if the o-line blocks well. Lots of change there but Wylie’s a good coach.
August 10th, 2011 at 10:06 pm

The real key to our 2011 success is the O-Line. If they can get the new line established and playing well as a unit, we’ll be back to the old Raider days of domination. With great protection Soup will be a Pro Bowler. If they, as a unit, power block as planned, our running game will be #1 in the league.
August 10th, 2011 at 10:13 pm
StraitOut…At least a 40% reduction in penalties, a sound running game (as we were 2nd in running last year) and a much more cohesive, agressive, “bully” like defense that dominates. We can’t move forward with a defensive that was 29th against the run last year. And, please, a pressure defense, one that stunts and blitzes and makes sacks. Most important…protect the home field, win at home. Don’t let other teams come into your backyard and win. No, no way, no how.
August 10th, 2011 at 10:13 pm

I feel that it was a blessing in disguise that Dmac and Ford got injured early with minor injuries. This prevents them from a more devasting injury during the pre-season. Both will have fresh legs (money makers) for the season opener. Agree?

When the Raiders are on top, the entire league benefits. Its good business, and the Raiders will bail out the image of the NFL once again.
August 10th, 2011 at 10:23 pm
Good point StraitOut. The dischargers use to do that with Ladamion to keep him from getting injured. On the other hand, they need some limited work before the actual season starts. If the can both stay healthy and play anything like last year, and if Chaz stays healthy and produces like we know he can…wow. We have many scoring threats and Boss may do just as good as Miller and he wears a super bowl ring to prove it.
August 10th, 2011 at 10:27 pm
IMO, it’s extremely important that HuJack wins his first game – even though it’s a preseason game. It will validate everything HuJack is saying & doing & will mentally prepare this team to get into & maintain the winning attitude. From there on out it will be lights out for all our opponents.
August 10th, 2011 at 10:27 pm
I hope Bush runs them over tomorrow. Davis took a chance and picked the dude in the 4th round, knowing he probably wouldn’t play that year. He came through big time last year and he’ll do better this year…his contract year. Al better sign him to a long term contract before the seasons up. What a draft steal.
August 10th, 2011 at 10:29 pm
JB…you’re so right. Winning tomorrow is critical and it’s at home. We have to start winning at home…all the time, against anyone. It’s our backyard…it’s like protecting one’s family…it’s holy ground!

Bush was a well know commodity. He would have been a 1st rounder if it had not been for the broken leg. He was a real steal in the 1st pick of the 4th round. I was really surprised some other team didn’t pull the trigger in the 3rd round. we were truly lucky. He’s a beast in his own right. He’d be a starter on any other team. AD better be prepared to pay him big time next year. By sharing time with DMac he actually extends his career which ultimately translates to more $’s in his pocket over tie. He needs to really turn it on this year as it is a “contract year”. That will be good for us I hope.

KK – Winning is so much more enjoyable – even if it is only preseason. We, the fans, need to get back into the grove. Especially the old fans like you & I. We were used to always winning. What happened to that? I’m all for getting back to the old days performance & results.
August 10th, 2011 at 10:45 pm
It would be nice if Bey made a play.
Get Bush 3-5 carries and out.
Look at the Rookies without any injuries.
August 10th, 2011 at 10:46 pm
JB, you absolutely right and it works both ways. We can limit Darren so that he’s not over worked and not lose a step when Bush is in to replace him. Like you said, he’ld be a starter on most other teams.
August 10th, 2011 at 10:52 pm
KK – I’d agree with you if we were on the road, but it’s at home and the “real good teams” win at home. We have to start winning all games at home. We have to turn home games into “must win” situations. Your steping on “holy-ground” and we don’t care how good you are or how many games you’ve won this year, your going to lose when you walk on to our sacrat, hold ground…our home, our Raider Nation Family!

Now if due to the lockout they’re gameplanning now that is a different story. Any we gameplan I want to see success.
I would love to have the 3rd string QB play well enough that we win. In fact thhat backup position at QB will be bigtime competition. Goota sse what we have n backup QB’s because you will need your backup some point in the season if only for one play.

Anxious to see what the rookies do in preseason, see what we got here. Seems like the last two draft classes in particular have been pretty good and the last several rater solid. I think 07 was the weakest, despite Zach and OO being solid (too bad Oren couldn’t stay healthy).
The more I watch of Van Dyke, the more I like him. He doesn’t have a whole lot of lead in his @$$, but he plays realy physical. Good in run support, can lay the wood, and the ball seems to follow him around.
Decent in press coverage but allows guys to get behind him too often, however, shows that he can recover quickly and often makes a play on the ball or a solid tackle after the fact.
He’s a bit of a project but Al will take a project in any round.
I think
Barksdale
D. Moore
Ausberry
will make an immediate impact
and
DVD
Chimdi
Lil Wiz
down the road.
August 11th, 2011 at 12:22 am
Think there’s 2 or 3 undrafted guys that could make the squad as well.
Anyone else surprised that Rankin came back? He pretty much said he dreaded working for the Raiders and felt he gott snubbed every regular season.
Hopefully, he’s auditioning for a job on someone else’s 53 on Thursday — he deserves it. I swear the guy must have 1000 preseason yards.

DVD is the next great Raider corner I aw that long before drafted him at the combine if you had seen this kid in drills he is so quick and loose and agile. He has a Deion Sanders look about him. NOOOOOO I’m NOT comparing him to Deion Sanders ability wise I’m talking about his fluidity and movement skills. Now Deion was a super athlete with super skillset and extremely polished this kid is nowhere near there. I was just saying when you see him you’ll he has that same crouch and explosion and long speed and he moves like Deion.
DVD is similar to Nnamdi as well he can flat out mirror very few players can do it the way he can. And he is cat quick he strikes when the ball is n the air. Rod couldn’t have a better student to teach the art of bump and run. If DVD works hard he will be the next great Raider corner.

Goethel and McClain are just football players man they are the text book football players. Extremely football smart they can key as well as anyone you’ll see this defense will be very good just based on those two players right there.
;;;:::::;;;::
I hope you are correct about Goethel, I saw him last year in practice, dude dud not look like a NFL player to me, nor did he act like one. His skills looked Bush at best. Way too slow, and weak. I am no scout so my opinion is just that…

My man BigTed do your thing Boi! Honestly thanks for everything…… CODE BLACK on the real.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:03 am
Yeah, both those guys I was a bit surprised at when Al took them. Not H/W/S specimens, but solid, studious type dudes with a mean streak.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:08 am
Ted, put me down for D. Moore. A Raider receiver is just due and I thibk he’ll be given a lot of opportunities to shine. Too many weapons to not have all the bells and whistles on the offense this year.
I think Barksdale is gonna be starting RT before long as well. Lots of experience in the SEC.
But I still think Moore is going to turn in a nice chunk of production here.
August 11th, 2011 at 1:11 am
Ford, Chaz, Bey, Murphy, Moore
That’s a lot of speed.
Toss in McFadden, Reece, and Bush (maybe Taiwan down the road).
Raiders teams are always fast, but now (most of) these guys can catch (Darrius).

The game will be online. You can google “Oakland Raiders Arizona Cardinals streaming” or you can wait till right before gametime, and someone will always post the game link here. Also the NFL Network is showing the game on tape delay this weekend and next week.
August 11th, 2011 at 6:04 am
It’s clear the following players will be out with injuries, most undisclsoed: running back Darren McFadden (broken orbital bone), wide receiver Jacoby Ford (broken left hand), running back Taiwan Jones, safety Mike Mitchell, cornerback Chemdi Chekwa and wide receiver Louis Murphy. Others who won’t play include linebacker Bruce Davis, offensive lineman Aaron Pelc, offensive lineman Bruce Campbell and defensive end Trevor Scott.

August 11th, 2011 at 6:18 am
I just hope no one goes down with a serious injury — I’d rather have that and a couple of crisp series on offense (have the first team punch in a TD), then take a good look at the rest of the roster. I imagine they’ll get Kevin Boss involved early; DHB should get a least one touch during the first series (that’s just my guess).
Remember how Wimbley went wild during the preseason game last year against the Bears? Maybe more of the same against the Cardinals.

14 career regular season touches for 99 yeards and a fumble. Had something like 30 punt and kick returns, no TDs.
I guess that’s an indication of how good teams think he is and why he never caught on, just figured he would have been a good ZBS ‘back somewhere.

DVD is the next great Raider corner I aw that long before drafted him at the combine if you had seen this kid in drills he is so quick and loose and agile. He has a Deion Sanders look about him. NOOOOOO I’m NOT comparing him to Deion Sanders ability wise I’m talking about his fluidity and movement skills. Now Deion was a super athlete with super skillset and extremely polished this kid is nowhere near there. I was just saying when you see him you’ll he has that same crouch and explosion and long speed and he moves like Deion.
DVD is similar to Nnamdi as well he can flat out mirror very few players can do it the way he can. And he is cat quick he strikes when the ball is n the air. Rod couldn’t have a better student to teach the art of bump and run. If DVD works hard he will be the next great Raider corner.

I think I’m rooting for Chaz more so. Guy’s had a lot of tough breaks (pun intended). I had the EXACT same injury in high school (broken left 5th metatarsal) and was back on my feet in no time, playing hockey within 6 weeks.
But we all heal differently. He gets over that but has knee problems overcompensating.
Then it’s the foot again.
We all wrote him off early last season too, after a reaggrivation, like he was done, out of the league, selling insurance. And he made a very nice comeback and made it in time to make some plays in the last few games.
Go Chaz.

I really hope that when the season starts Hue has the power to sit DHB and start Murphy or Moore in his place.
If I see DHB starting in week one in Denver then we will all know that AD still has a say in who starts and who sits. He will be castrating our head coach in front of his players by taking away his power. This will not sit well with me.
So Please Hue show us you are the man and sit DHB opening day!
August 11th, 2011 at 7:49 am
The question with DVD is not physical, it’s mental. Kid has all the physical traits you’d want in a corner. Loose, fluid hips, changes direction quickly, great recovery speed. If he can put on some more muscle so he can be more effective at jamming receivers at the line, he’ll be in good shape.
The question I have with him is whether or not he has the football instincts necessary to be a contributor. Hopefully Rod Woodson is the guy who can bring that out of him.

Nick Miller has apparently been dropping a lot of balls this time around in camp. Unlike him. Might be an uphill battle for him if Hagan and Bodiford impressing.
August 11th, 2011 at 8:00 am
are* impressing
August 11th, 2011 at 8:00 am
I think Ford will do KOR and Tjones will do PR

both are out tonight, so who fills in besides that atrocious smurf wearing #89?
Denarius Moore?

Anybody looking for the debut of some fancy, new zone-blitz defense will probably be disappointed.

Hip Hop is the worst music ever created. Seriously, why do the blacks like it so much?
==============
Blacks? What is this the 60s? hip hop is so popular because it allows talentless idiotsd to become “rock stars”. What an over used term
—————–
That’s what I’m talking about. Hip hop is talent-less schlock. At least it allows douche bags to act cool and get big stereo systems for their cars. What a joke!

Yup – don’t want to tip the hand to the donkeys
Chuck B & Rod Wood just say “multiple” and leave it as that
Hue Jacks offers much of the same from last season with a sprinkle of Air Coryell flavor from Al Saunders

kolb is going to play a lot this game. Our defence should be licking their chops. If your going to send a message it has to be the first game and that is today. So lets see if this front seven can be a qb killer.

If we have chaz and lou murphy along with jacoby ford sprinkle in dmoore and we are set but we have to give DHB some touches. Im not hating or nothng its just disappointing when he is on the field and he is not the threat people expects. But hopefully he gets it together if not then dont let the door hit you on the way out. Let hagan and maybe jackson get a shot. I do hope DHB does well but how much longer do we have to wait.

The question with DVD is not physical, it’s mental. Kid has all the physical traits you’d want in a corner. Loose, fluid hips, changes direction quickly, great recovery speed. If he can put on some more muscle so he can be more effective at jamming receivers at the line, he’ll be in good shape.
The question I have with him is whether or not he has the football instincts necessary to be a contributor. Hopefully Rod Woodson is the guy who can bring that out of him.
RRS,
the problem is physical with DVD. He was the weakest Db at the combine 5 reps at 225. He has upside but needs time to physically mature. I hope he was sick when he benched.. I would worry a great deal about him in run support. Nickel and dime he could be effective, perhaps.

anyone know a website/channel i can watch the game live 2night in socal? it’s delayed locally till midnight….
August 11th, 2011 at 8:12 am
John David Booty,
if we finish the AZ game with no significant injuries and the coaching staff gets to evaluate all the players … mission accomplished
thats the purpose of preseason
Didn’t Art Shell go 4-0 in the Preseason and 2-14 in the regular season (2006) ???
I’ll take 0-4 in the Preseason and 10-6 in the regular season, thank you

No, it really isn’t. Again, the tools are all there. If the trainers are doing their jobs, it won’t be an issue. He has a big enough frame that putting on muscle shouldn’t be a problem. Quite frankly, I’m not expecting much tackling skill out of a CB… although it would certainly be a nice bonus. As long as he can get a jam on the line and cover downfield, I’m happy.
I worry about his concentration above all else. He has all the physical tools. He’s not a stiff like a few of the DBs Al has drafted in recent memory. I don’t think there’s any way he DOESN’T add more muscle if he simply does what the training staff asks of him. His body will mature, no doubt. But I have to wonder if his mind will, and how quickly.
August 11th, 2011 at 8:14 am
Well tj the bj said Nick Miller is a “DB Killer” and nobody is a better judge of talent than priest!

at the end of the day he was way better last year than his rookie year I mean after his rookie year who would have expected a 100 yd game? He’s a hard worker so he’ll be improved this year as well

Ad wilson is counting his blessings that he doesn’t have to see # 20 again on a blitz pick up tonight. Member that zhit last year dmac was blasting him with his face. I guess it caught up to him. Then good ol seebass f’d it up………

Dhb stat sheet would of looked a hell of a lot better if he would of caught some tougher catches to catch but that were catchable. I don’t remember the exact games but they were difference making plays that he had a chance to make a play but choked, but murphy did too though.

BCZ,
I’m still a fan of Kirk Morrison & Johnnie Lee Higgins.
I was wrong about Marcel Reece & Jacoby Ford. Right about Darren McFadden & Michael Huff
you win some, you lose some. Last year my unsung hero was Travis Goethel. I’ve softened on that stance a bit due to his coverage ability when playing OLB (still think he should get a crack at MLB). Groves played much better as the season progressed
This year my guy is CJ37. I’m going to battle with him as my darkhorse

Completely agree. And thats where my prediction comes from, an expectation that the starters are better than AZ’s, and that are reserves, talent wise, Id give a major advantage to. I dont think AZ’s D is gonna be anywhere close to prepared for our O yet. So I think think we will see at least 10 points from our starters.
